== Announcements ==

== Discussion ==

        * Snowfalke API has insufficent support for passing additional settings 
in constructor
                * trying to avoid making breaking changes to the API
                * one option is to use builders: 
https://docs.rs/http/0.2.9/http/request/struct.Builder.html
                * another is to use WithXXXX methods: 
https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc#WithAuthority
                * shelikhoo will create an issue to start the discussion on a 
possible version 3 API for snowflake
        * Snowflake broker Debian version EOL
                * 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40349
                * we'll do a fresh install in a new VM
                * dcf1 will provision a VM for it
                * shelikhoo will do the setup
        * ed25519 keys in bridgelines
                * https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/issues/257
                * there is a conversation on how to integrate ed25519 keys into 
bridgelines

== Actions ==


== Interesting links ==

        * https://github.com/ooni/utls-light by arturo, an alternative approach 
to modifying TLS fingerprints that requires less invasive crypto/tls library 
changes. It works by parsing the serialized native crypto/tls handshake 
messages before they are sent, and re-serializing them according to a desired 
schema.

== Reading group ==
        * We will discuss "" on
                * 
                * Questions to ask and goals to have:
                        * What aspects of the paper are questionable?
                        * Are there immediate actions we can take based on this 
work?
                        * Are there long-term actions we can take based on this 
work?
                        * Is there future work that we want to call out in 
hopes that others will pick it up?

Shelikhoo: 2024-05-02
    Last Week:
        - [Merge Request WIP] Add Container Image Mirroring from Tor Gitlab to 
Docker 
Hub(https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/merge_requests/280)

onyinyang: 2023-05-02
        Last week(s):
                - Responding to pre-existing MR reviews and other 
notifications/questions in gitlab
                        
        This week:
                - attempt hyper upgrade and tokio upgrade
        Probably next week and beyond:
                - preparing for upcoming panel (maybe)
                - implement some preliminary user feedback mechanism to 
identify bridge blocking based on Vecna's work
                - improve metrics collection/think about how to show Lox is 
working/valuable
                - sketch out Lox blog post/usage notes for forum
                
                
        (long term things were discussed at the meeting!): 
https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-ac-community-azaleas-room-keep
                - brainstorming grouping strategies for Lox buckets (of 
bridges) and gathering context on how types of bridges are distributed/use in 
practice
                        Question: What makes a bridge usable for a given user, 
and how can we encode that to best ensure we're getting the most appropriate 
resources to people?
                                1. Are there some obvious grouping strategies 
that we can already consider?
                                        e.g., by PT, by bandwidth (lower 
bandwidth bridges sacrificed to open-invitation buckets?), by locale (to be 
matched with a requesting user's geoip or something?)
                                2. Does it make sense to group 3 
bridges/bucket, so trusted users have access to 3 bridges (and untrusted users 
have access to 1)? More? Less?
                
theodorsm: 2023-04-25
                Last weeks:
                        - Extended Pion dtls library to support hooking of 
client hellos, server hellos and certificate request (PR: 
https://github.com/pion/dtls/pull/631). Fingerprint generation of firefox and 
chrome + mimicking using the client hello hook have been moved to its own repo: 
https://github.com/theodorsm/covertDTLS
                        - Analyzed the snowflake captures done in "Snowflake 
Anonymous Network Traffic Identification" paper: no handshakes found, so not 
relevant for me
                        - Verified the consistency of the fingerprint generation
                Next weeks:
                        - Add hook to pion/webrtc so it can be used in 
snowflake.
                        - Test and validate mimicked client hello with 
snowflake.
                        - Add randomized fingerprint
                Help with:
