[tor-dev] Interested in GSoC opportunity

[Deepankar Tyagi]

Hi,

Thanks for the help so far.
Based on the feedback and guidance here is a rough timeline.
Few queries are also included, seeking help to resolve them also.

April 22 - May 22:
 Grok the papers mentioned at http://www.cs.kau.se/philwint/spoiled_onions/
 Get more in depth understanding of tor design (relays, directory
descriptors etc)

May 22 - June 21:
Make Exitmap fully autonomous (
https://github.com/NullHypothesis/exitmap/issues/7)

June 22 - July 15:
Create module(s) which emulate a user and explore the web dynamically.

July 15 - August 15:
Write unit tests and if time permits, work on extended goals.

Extended goals:
#1 create a module which does anomaly detection(machine learning)
#2 write behavioral and integration tests.

Would be grateful for any feedback on this.

Queries:
#1 In bin/exitmap "#!/usr/bin/env python" is used instead of specifying
python2 or python3, Can I assume that code currently contains nothing which
makes it biased towards one python version or the other. If yes then should
one keep python2 in mind when developing ?
#2 As per the list subscribers' opinion, should the unit test be written
after implementing core functionality only or is it better to write test
alongside after each iteration of finishing parts of task? (in context of
exitmap).
#3 Should one aspire for as much less dependency on external libraries
(other than stem) or if no then should one follow a rubrik when selecting a
library ?


Best Regards.
