-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [guardian-dev] Building OpenSSL and Xtables for Orbot Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2013 09:28:57 -0500 From: Nathan of Guardian <[email protected]> To: Guardian Dev <[email protected]>
For a long time, building an up-to-date OpenSSL and iptables binary was a challenge for apps like Orbot which need it. Figuring out all the various flags and patches necessary was quite tricky, and the version bundles in the AOSP code were quite out of date. I am happy to say that both through my own persistence, recent patches by a few others, and improvements in the Android NDK toolchain, we can down build the latest OpenSSL and XTables/Iptables code from the original, direct git source. This means we have all the latest ciphers for Tor to use in order to better obscure traffic, and we have a bundled xtables binary in Orbot that can handle all of the transproxying rules we need, no matter what the built-in rooted firmware provides. You can find the updates build instructions in the Orbot external Makefile here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/n8fr8/orbot.git/blob/HEAD:/external/Makefile We will have beta of the new release, based on Tor 0.2.4.20 shortly. +n _______________________________________________ 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/nathan%40guardianproject.info You are subscribed as: [email protected] _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
