Nick started work on a socks proxy that will add its own layer of
encryption on top of the Tor transport. The goal is to separate the task
of making Tor unrecognizable on the wire from the task of achieving Tor's
desired authentication and confidentiality requirements.
I think asn picked it up from there, and it's now called obfsproxy.
One of its goals is to act as a proof of concept for our modular transport
proposal (#2758), but I also want to actually ship it with the Tor bundles
for users in blocking countries, so they have a chance against the next
DPI-using adversary.
What's the current status? Is it ready to get its own Trac component and
its own Tor git repository?
