Hi, In September, I resumed work on the Tor Messenger.
- Primarily, I worked with Arlo on creating bundles for the Tor Messenger [0]. We now have bundles for Linux and OS X with some (very few) security settings and Tor Launcher support. These bundles are not publicly available yet -- we plan to make them available for testing after we are convinced that we have addressed the main security issues. We will move to an automated build system, with deterministic builds as our final goal. [0] - https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11174 This also takes care of #10949, #10940. - I also spent a while investigating the security configuration of Instantbird, building on the work Jake and I did for TorBirdy (Instantbird is a Thunderbird fork.) There is a lot to be done in this area as this constitutes the main part of "securing Instantbird." https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10946 - Also related is the ControlPort support for Tor Messenger. I had started working on this for TorBirdy and I spent some time trying to adapt it for Instantbird but I have not made much progress with this. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10950 We will work towards automated builds and securing Instantbird in October. -- Sukhbir _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
