# Status report for June 2015

- Worked on writing a script that parses the HSDir health csv logs and
  do graphs with the data. Those are in the hs-health repository.

  See section "#13209 Analysis" for a bit of information on the latest
  results. --> https://etherpad.mozilla.org/F8P18C7wYp-hs-stats

  Thanks to asn's help, turns out we can't answer question at #13208 for
  now with the current setup but Torperf has useful fat for it though.

- Read and analyzed the Usenix security 2015 attack on hidden service.
  (Still not public though :S)

- Helped the Tor Messenger team with a review before the third alpha
  release. BTW, everyone reading this should play with it, they did (do)
  a fantastic job!
