+
+<p>A groundbreaking report by OONI and AFTE uncovered anomalies on Egyptian
networks including censorship and the hijacking of unencrypted HTTP connections
for advertising and cryptocurrency mining. Even UN sites were redirected.</p>
+
+<p>Also, more than 100 news websites are blocked in Egypt, including <em>Al
Jazeera, The Huffington Post Arabic, Mada Masr, Almesryoon, Daily News Egypt,
Turk Press</em> and <em>Iran’s Alalam News</em>.</p>
+
+<p>“The blocking of media organizations’ websites has had a severe
impact on their operations, and some have even suspended their work altogether
as a result of persisting censorship,” said Mohammad El Taher, director
of the AFTE research unit.</p>
+
+<p>While it’s been known that Egypt has undertaken widespread censorship
of websites, this is the first time a comprehensive study of the methods of
censorship have been undertaken. <a

+<h1>How to Do Effective and Impactful Tor Research</h1>
+

href="https://blog.torproject.org/how-do-effective-and-impactful-tor-research"><img
alt=""
src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/rCvzkXPQ.jpeg?itok=iYQsvjvk"

+
+<p>As we mentioned in <a
href="https://blog.torproject.org/tors-open-research-topics-2018-edition">our
previous post about Tor research topics</a>, Tor greatly benefits from the
research community. When researchers work closely with the design and
development of deployed systems, this not only results in better research, but
also better systems. For project maintainers, research that identifies
vulnerabilities, creates new solutions to existing problems, and verifies
proposed designs helps improve projects and make them safer for end users. TLS
1.3 is one recent example of where a symbiotic research/practitioner
relationship has improved the protocol's design and safety.</p>
+
+<p>However it is all too common that good research ideas don't make their
way into practice. Within Tor, we have found that integrating new research
findings isn't seamless or predictable, and good ideas are often lost or
deemed incompatible without significantly more analysis and research.</p>
+
+<p>The purpose of this post is to discuss what good research needs to do in
order to ensure it has the best chance of being adopted by Tor or any
other large software project.</p>
+
+<p>We have structured this post in terms of an ordered list of goals for
research. Each successive goal is more difficult to accomplish than the
previous one. At the end of this post, we will look at a positive example of
excellent research that successfully accomplished all of these goals and give
overall takeaways.</p>

+
+<p>Earlier this year, the Tor Project released its first stable Tor and Tor
Browser releases with <a
href="https://blog.torproject.org/tors-fall-harvest-next-generation-onion-services">the
new v3 onion service protocol</a>. The protocol features many improvements,
including longer and more secure onion addresses, service enumeration
resistance, improved authentication, and upgraded cryptography.</p>
+
+<p>However, while this new protocol closes off some attacks (particularly
enumeration and related targeted DoS attacks), it does not solve any attacks
that could lead to service deanonymization.</p>
+
+<p>The core Vanguards functionality ensures that all onion service circuits
are restricted to a set of second and third layer guards, which have randomized
rotation times.</p>
