This is *very early* still, but thought I would share to get early feedback. In short, we are looking at promoting the use of pluggable transports like ObfsProxy and Meek for any app, and not just as part of Tor. We think many apps could utilize this approach to defeat DPI filtering, and that this would be useful to offer decoupled from the way Tor integrates it. After all, Pluggable Transports are essentially just a fancy kind of single-hop SOCKS proxy.
The code isn't operational yet, but there is simple build instructions for cross-compiling ofbs4 and meek Go code into android compatible executables. https://github.com/guardianproject/pluto What is PLUTO? This repo is for library incarnation of PLUTO, providing a simplified means for developers to include traffic obfuscation capabilities into their applications. It supports the Obfs4 and Meek transports initially, with others to come. Design The approach of this project is to provide a small bit of shim code that any app can include that will provide the ability to discover, install and manage pluggable transports for use with any app. The PTs themselves will be packaged into user-installable Android Application Package (APK) plugins, or bundled directly into an apps themselves. Sample //performs query of local app assets and installed APKs with proper "PLUTO" category tag List<PluggableTransport> pTrans = PlutoFactory.getAvailableTransports(); PluggableTransport pt = pTrans.get(0); if (!pt.isInstalled()) { pt.requestInstall(); } else { if (pt.getName().equals("meek")) { String configString = "url=https://meek-reflect.appspot.com/ front=www.google.com"; pt.setConfig(configString); } else if (pt.getName().equals("obfs4")) { String configString = "obfs3 191.21.10.141:10223 c6eda10edca8970b8a57617bf3b6e82bbecd287d"; pt.setConfig(configString); } boolean connected = pt.connect(); if (connected) { //PTs generally expose themselve as local SOCKS proxies int socksPort = pt.getLocalSocksPort(); myApp.setProxy(Type.SOCKS,socksPort); } } -- Nathan of Guardian [email protected] _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
