[tor-dev] Tor Project Idea for GSOC 2015

[Gautham Nekkanti]

Hi,

    I am Gautham (icodemachine from IRC and TRAC). I am willing to
participate in GSoC 2015. I was brainstorming for project ideas and thought
of this useful project idea.

I want to put forward a project idea of Simple analytics tool for HIDDEN
service providers. Although, there are already thousands of
third-party traffic statistic tools, most of them require javascript and
just defeats the whole purpose of server anonymity. This project is a
little similar to Arm, instead it involves in listening how many users are
connected to our site and parsing it.

Advanced metrics like IP addresses of visitors, countries, e.t.c. wouldn't
be available as it is pointless in our case (Since the IPs reflect the IPs
of exit nodes). So, it basically displays the number of visitors and a few
other metrics. Historic data will be presented graphically. The data will
be accessible through a localhost website and Historic data would be stored
in a local database. Although, it is not nearly as advanced as other
statistic tools, it would still be an essential tool for Hidden service
providers to analyze their traffic figures. How would it be? Please share
your views.

Thanks,
Gautham
