# Activities of March 2015 - Wrote a proposal for increasing the requirements to become an HSDir: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-March/008532.html That's trac ticket #8243.
- Helped write a blog post crowdsourcing ideas for our upcoming crowdfunding campaign: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/crowdfunding-future-hidden-services Also compiled a wiki page with the various projects that have been proposed: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/CrowdfundingHS2015 I haven't updated it since the blog post got published. - Did some analysis on the utilization of Tor bridges based on their bandwidth histories: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-March/008541.html - Helped develop various techniques and fixes for increasing resistance to DoS attacks on hidden services. That's trac tickets #15463, #15515, etc. - Shared some thoughts on the encrypted services project: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15271 - Reviewed #13736. Also reviewed Karsten's Metrics integration of the hidden service statistics. You can now find all these statistics using the "Hidden Services" tag of https://metrics.torproject.org/ . # Activities for April 2015 - Work on upcoming hidden service statistics (#15272). On this note, Karsten has already done nice work on #15513, and David has been working on his HSDir health measurements. - Work more on anti-Dos for hidden services (#15463). - I should update the Tor website to mention Ahmia on the hidden service configuration page. And also open a ticket for this task. - I should also help decide on whether we should allow efficient port-scanning of hidden services or not. Apprently we made it harder to port scan hidden services with #13667 and we should think whether we still want to keep this defence. The argument for ditching it, is that we know people will port scan anyway, and with #13667 applied they hurt the network much more. - Work more on the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
