<h2>Tor Projects Overview</h2>
<hr/>

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

<p>Under construction! Please bear with us as we clean up the list.</p>

<a id="Controllers"></a>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="#Controllers">Tor Controllers</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="<page vidalia/index>">Vidalia</a> is our recommended
cross-platform Tor controller GUI, maintained by Matt Edman. It's included
in most bundles.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.anonymityanywhere.com/tork/">TorK</a> is a
controller written by Robert Hogan for the KDE environment (Linux). It
has a few extra features over Vidalia (such as in path selection),
but it's a lot rougher around the edges.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.atagar.com/arm/">arm</a> is a curses-based
(command-line, non-GUI) controller designed especially to summarize
relay operation.</li>
<li><a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/blossom/trunk/">Blossom</a>
is an obsolete and unmaintained controller based on Geoff Goodell's
thesis at Harvard. Its goal was to make it more convenient to access
resources from the network location of your choice.</li>
</ul>

<a id="Applications"></a>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="#Applications">Accompanying applications</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="<page torbutton/index>">TorButton</a> is a Firefox extension
that helps keep you safe when you browse with Tor. It originally just
toggled your proxy settings on and off, but now it takes care of <a
href="https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/design/">a wide array</a>
of application-level privacy risks.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">Polipo</a>
is a caching http proxy that handles pipelining and http/1.1. We
ship it with Firefox and Torbutton mainly because Firefox still <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280661">can't
handle</a> socks proxies directly.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> is another fine http
proxy that you can use between your Firefox and Tor. We switched to
Polipo because of the http/1.1 and keepalive support.</li>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a> (based on
its predecessor <a href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a>) is a
Linux / UNIX (but not OS X) wrapper to dynamically replace the networking
system calls in your application with ones that point through Tor.</li>
<li><a href="http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsocks/">dsocks</a> is an
alternative to tsocks that works on OS X / BSD.</li>
<li><a
href="https://git.torproject.org/checkout/thandy/master/">Thandy</a>,
our still-under-development <a
href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/03/thandy-secure-update-for-tor.html">secure
updater</a>, is designed to help our users keep up to date on
their Tor versions. While commercial organizations buy their
own bank vault on armed guards for their updates key, Thandy
aims to tackle the more distributed development situation for
systems like Tor. Its main value at this point is its peer-reviewed <a
href="https://git.torproject.org/checkout/thandy/master/specs/thandy-spec.txt">spec</a>,
but you can also see it in action as part of our experimental <a
