[tor-reports] George's status report: September 2012

[George Kadianakis]

Hi,

this is a list of some Tor stuff I did during September:

- I set up some fuzzers (mainly 'radamsa') to fuzz parts of the Tor
  codebase (mainly 'src/or/routerparse.c'). They are not very
  intelligent at the moment (still, they found #6811), but I plan to
  make them smarter in the future.
  If you are into fuzzing and want to help around, send me an email.

- Found two fun bugs in tor (#6811, #6827).

- GSoC finished and I received pyobfsproxy and pyptlib from Brandon:

  pyptlib is ready for action. If you have a project that obfuscates
  network traffic and you want to integrate it with Tor, you should
  talk to me and I will help you use pyptlib.

  pyobfsproxy is still under heavy development. After some days of
  playing around with it, I decided to rewrite its networking core
  with Twisted, since it was based on a framework called 'monocle'
  which I could not appreciate.

  I'm currently implementing the obfs2 pluggable transport, so that it
  can cooperate with obfsproxy, and then I'm planning to write obfs3.
  
  I still need to find and fix bugs, tidy up the code, kill unused
  code, write integration tests, write unit tests, improve the
  logging, test Windows packages, find a better name for pyobfsproxy,
  etc.
