14) <p>The Tor Project ecosystem involves a wide array of projects, some run
15) by core Tor developers and some run by volunteers. This page tries to
16) organize and summarize them, both to help new volunteer developers get
17) bootstrapped, and to help make sure people don't accidentally duplicate
18) efforts.</p>

24) <ul>
25) <li><a href="<page vidalia/index>">Vidalia</a> is our recommended
26) cross-platform Tor controller GUI, maintained by Matt Edman. It's included
27) in most bundles.</li>
28) <li><a href="http://www.anonymityanywhere.com/tork/">TorK</a> is a
29) controller written by Robert Hogan for the KDE environment (Linux). It
30) has a few extra features over Vidalia (such as in path selection),
31) but it's a lot rougher around the edges.</li>
32) <li><a href="http://www.atagar.com/arm/">arm</a> is a curses-based
33) (command-line, non-GUI) controller designed especially to summarize
34) relay operation.</li>
35) <li><a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/blossom/trunk/">Blossom</a>
36) is an obsolete and unmaintained controller based on Geoff Goodell's
37) thesis at Harvard. Its goal was to make it more convenient to access
38) resources from the network location of your choice.</li>

43) <ul>
44) <li><a href="<page torbutton/index>">TorButton</a> is a Firefox extension
45) that helps keep you safe when you browse with Tor. It originally just
46) toggled your proxy settings on and off, but now it takes care of <a
47) href="https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/design/">a wide array</a>
48) of application-level privacy risks.</li>
49) <li><a href="http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">Polipo</a>
50) is a caching http proxy that handles pipelining and http/1.1. We
51) ship it with Firefox and Torbutton mainly because Firefox still <a
52) href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280661">can't
53) handle</a> socks proxies directly.</li>
54) <li><a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> is another fine http
55) proxy that you can use between your Firefox and Tor. We switched to
56) Polipo because of the http/1.1 and keepalive support.</li>
57) <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a> (based on
58) its predecessor <a href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a>) is a
59) Linux / UNIX (but not OS X) wrapper to dynamically replace the networking
60) system calls in your application with ones that point through Tor.</li>
61) <li><a href="http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsocks/">dsocks</a> is an
62) alternative to tsocks that works on OS X / BSD.</li>

65) our still-under-development <a
66) href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/03/thandy-secure-update-for-tor.html">secure
67) updater</a>, is designed to help our users keep up to date on
68) their Tor versions. While commercial organizations buy their
69) own bank vault on armed guards for their updates key, Thandy
70) aims to tackle the more distributed development situation for
71) systems like Tor. Its main value at this point is its peer-reviewed <a
