+    <h1>Tor Overview</h1>

+    <p>Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy.</p>

+    <p>Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, and the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers. Tor's <a href="#">hidden services</a> let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.</p>

+    <p>Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and dissidents. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use Tor to allow their workers to connect to their home website while they're in a foreign country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're working with that organization.</p>

+    <p>Groups such as Indymedia recommend Tor for safeguarding their members' online privacy and security. Activist groups like the <a href="http://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> (EFF) recommend Tor as a mechanism for maintaining civil liberties online. Corporations use Tor as a safe way to conduct competitive analysis, and to protect sensitive procurement patterns from eavesdroppers. They also use it to replace traditional VPNs, which reveal the exact amount and timing of communication. Which locations have employees working late? Which locations have employees consulting job-hunting websites? Which research divisions are communicating with the company's patent lawyers?</p>

+    <p>A branch of the U.S. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs, and for security during sting operations.</p>

+    <p>The <a href="<page about/corepeople>">variety of people</a> who use Tor is actually part of <a href="<page about/overview>">what makes it so secure</a>. Tor hides you among the other users on the network, so the more populous and diverse the user base for Tor is, the more your anonymity will be protected.</p>

+    <p>First, if you have a problem or question about using Tor, go look at the <a href="<page docs/documentation>#Support">Support section</a> for how to proceed. The Tor developers spend most of their time developing Tor, and there are no people devoted to user support, so try to help yourself before <a href="<page docs/faq>#SupportMail">politely trying to find a volunteer</a>.</p>

+    

+    <p>If you really do need to reach us, here are some approaches. All of these addresses are @torproject.org. Note that in practice most of them go to the same small group of people, so please be patient and <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">helpful</a>, and please make sure to write your mail in English.</p>

+    

+    <ul>

+      <li><tt>tor-assistants</tt> is the catch-all address for everything. If you'd like to ask a more directed question, please see the descriptions below.</li>

+      <li><tt>tor-ops</tt> gets to the people who manage the directory authorities. Use this if you run a Tor relay and have a question or problem with your relay.</li>

+      <li><tt>tor-webmaster</tt> can fix typos on the website, change wrong statements or directions on the website, and add new sections and paragraphs that you send us. You might want to make a draft of your new sections on <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki">the Tor wiki</a> first.</li>

+      <li><tt>tor-volunteer</tt> wants to hear about your documents, patches, testing, experiences with supporting applications, and so forth inspired by our <a href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>">volunteer page</a> (or other problems you've fixed or documented about using Tor). There's no need to mail us before you start working on something -- like all volunteer Internet projects, we hear from a lot of excited people who vanish soon after, so we are most interested in hearing about actual progress.</li>

+      <li><tt>tor-translation</tt> can put new <a href="<page getinvolved/translation>">website translations</a> into place, and help answer questions about existing and new translations.</li>

+      <li><tt>tordnsel</tt> is the alias for the people responsible for the tordns exitlist.</li>

+      <li><tt>donations</tt> is for questions and comments about <a href="<page donate/donate>">getting money to the developers</a>. More donations means <a href="<page docs/faq>#Funding">more Tor</a>. We're happy to help think about creative ways for you to contribute.</li>

+      <li><tt>execdir</tt> is for press/media, questions and comments about Tor the non-profit corporation: trademark questions, affiliation and coordination, major gifts, contract inquiries, licensing and certification, etc.</li>

+    Providing a usable anonymizing network on the Internet today is an

+    want to keep the network up and running in a way that handles as many

+    users as possible. Security and usability don't have to be at odds:

+    As Tor's usability increases, it will attract more users, which will

+    increase the possible sources and destinations of each communication,

+    thus increasing security for everyone.

+    We're making progress, but we need your help.  Please consider

+    Ongoing trends in law, policy, and technology threaten anonymity as never

+    before, undermining our ability to speak and read freely online. These

+    trends also undermine national security and critical infrastructure by

+    making communication among individuals, organizations, corporations,

+    and governments more vulnerable to analysis. Each new user and relay

+    provides additional diversity, enhancing Tor's ability to put control

+    over your security and privacy back into your hands.

+    <h2>Tor: Google Summer of Code 2010</h2>

+    <hr />

+    

+    <p>

+    In the last three years, The Tor Project in collaboration with <a

+    href="https://www.eff.org/">The Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>

+    successfully took part in

+    <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/eff/about.html">Google Summer of Code

+    2007</a>, <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2008/eff/about.html">2008</a>,

+    and <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2009/eff">2009</a>.

+    In total we had 17 students as full-time developers for the summers of 2007 to

+    2009. Now we've been accepted to <a

+    href="https://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2010/tor">Google

+    Summer of Code 2010</a>!

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    The <a

+    href="http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline">deadline</a>

+    for your <a

+    href="http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#student_apply">application</a>

+    is <b>April 9, 2010</b> at 19:00 UTC.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    You must be self-motivated and able to work independently. We have

+    a thriving community of interested developers on the IRC channel and

+    mailing lists, and we're eager to work with you, brainstorm about design,

+    and so on, but you need to be able to manage your own time, and you

+    need to already be somewhat familiar with how free software development on the

+    Internet works.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    Working on Tor is rewarding because:

+    </p>

+    

+    <ul>

+    <li>You can work your own hours in your own locations. As long as you

+    get the job done, we don't care about the process.</li>

+    <li>We only write free (open source) software. The tools you make won't

+    be locked down or rot on a shelf.</li>

+    <li>You will work with a world-class team of anonymity experts and

+    developers on what is already the largest and most active strong anonymity

+    network ever.</li>

+    <li>The work you do could contribute to academic publications &mdash;

+    Tor development raises many open questions and interesting problems

+    in the field of <a href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/">anonymity

+    systems</a>.</li>

+    </ul>

+    

+    <a id="GettingInvolved"></a>

+    <h2><a class="anchor" href="#GettingInvolved">How To Get Involved</a></h2>

+    

+    <p>

+    The best way to get involved is to come listen on IRC (both "#tor" and

+    "#tor-dev"), read our docs and other webpages, try out the various tools

+    that are related to the projects that interest you, and ask questions

+    as they come to you: <a href="<page docs/documentation>#UpToSpeed">Getting

+    up to speed</a>.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    In addition to getting some more development work

+    done on Tor and related applications, Google and Tor are most interested

+    in getting students involved in Tor development in a way that keeps them

+    involved after the summer too. That means we will give priority to students

+    who have demonstrated continued interest and responsiveness. We will require

+    students to write public status report updates for our community, either by

+    blogging or sending mail to our mailing list. We want to ensure that the

+    community and the student can both benefit from each other.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    When it comes time for us to choose projects, our impression of how well

+    you'll fit into our community — and how good you are at taking

+    the initiative to do things — will be at least as important as

+    the actual project you'll be working on.

+    </p>

+    

+    <a id="Ideas"></a>

+    <h2><a class="anchor" href="#Ideas">Ideas List</a></h2>

+    

+    <p>

+    This year, we have two ideas lists: one for projects to

+    <a href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>#Projects">help develop Tor</a>,

+    and one for <a href="https://www.eff.org/gsoc2010">EFF's projects</a>.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    The best kind of ideas are A) ones that we know we need done real soon

+    now (you can get a sense of urgency from the priority on the wishlist,

+    and from talking to the potential mentors), and B) ones where it's

+    clear what needs to be done, at least for the first few steps. Lots of

+    students try to bite off open-ended research topics; but if you're going

+    to be spending the first half of your summer figuring out what exactly

+    you should code, and there's a chance that the conclusion will be "oh,

+    that isn't actually a good idea to build", then your proposal will make

+    us very nervous. Try to figure out how much you can actually fit in a

+    summer, break the work down into manageable pieces, and most importantly,

+    figure out how to make sure your incremental milestones are actually

+    useful — if you don't finish everything in your plan, we want to

+    know that you'll still have produced something useful.

+    </p>

+    

+    <a id="Template"></a>

+    <h2><a class="anchor" href="#Template">Application Template</a></h2>

+    

+    <p>

+    Please use the following template for your application, to make sure you

+    provide enough information for us to evaluate you and your proposal.

+    </p>

+    

+    <ol>

+    

+    <li>What project would you like to work on? Use our ideas lists as a starting

+    point or make up your own idea. Your proposal should include high-level

+    descriptions of what you're going to do, with more details about the

+    parts you expect to be tricky. Your proposal should also try to break

+    down the project into tasks of a fairly fine granularity, and convince

+    us you have a plan for finishing it.</li>

+    

+    <li>Point us to a code sample: something good and clean to demonstrate

+    that you know what you're doing, ideally from an existing project.</li>

+    

+    <li>Why do you want to work with The Tor Project / EFF in

+    particular?</li>

+    

+    <li>Tell us about your experiences in free software development

+    environments. We especially want to hear examples of how you have

+    collaborated with others rather than just working on a project by

+    yourself.</li>

+    

+    <li>Will you be working full-time on the project for the summer, or will

+    you have other commitments too (a second job, classes, etc)? If you won't

+    be available full-time, please explain, and list timing if you know them

+    for other major deadlines (e.g. exams). Having other activities isn't

+    a deal-breaker, but we don't want to be surprised.</li>

+    

+    <li>Will your project need more work and/or maintenance after the summer

+    ends? What are the chances you will stick around and help out with that

+    and other related projects?</li>

+    

+    <li>What is your ideal approach to keeping everybody informed of your

+    progress, problems, and questions over the course of the project? Said

+    another way, how much of a "manager" will you need your mentor to be?</li>

+    

+    <li>What school are you attending? What year are you, and what's your

+    major/degree/focus? If you're part of a research group, which one?</li>

+    

+    <li>How can we contact you to ask you further questions? Google doesn't

+    share your contact details with us automatically, so you should include

+    that in your application. In addition, what's your IRC nickname?

+    Interacting with us on IRC will help us get to know you, and help you

+    get to know our community.</li>

+    

+    <li>Is there anything else we should know that will make us like your

+    project more?</li>

+    

+    </ol>

+    

+    <p>

+    We have picked out 10+ mentors for this year — most of the

+    people on the <a href="<page about/people>#Core">core Tor development team</a>

+    plus a few people from <a href="http://www.eff.org/about/staff">EFF's staff</a>

+    — so we should be able to accommodate a wide variety of projects,

+    ranging from work on Tor itself to work on supporting or peripheral

+    projects. We can figure out which mentor is appropriate while we're

+    discussing the project you have in mind. We plan to assign a primary

+    mentor to each student, along with one or two assistant mentors to help

+    answer questions and help you integrate with the broader Tor community.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    If you're interested, you can either contact the <a href="<page

+    about/contact>">tor-assistants list</a> with a brief summary of your proposal

+    and we'll give you feedback, or just jump right in and post your ideas

+    and goals to the <a href="<page docs/documentation>#MailingLists">or-talk

+    mailing list</a>. Make sure to be responsive during the application

+    selection period; if we like your application but you never answer our

+    mails asking for more information, that's not a good sign.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    The more applications we get, the more likely Google is to give us good

+    students. So if you haven't filled up your summer plans yet, please

+    consider spending some time working with us to make Tor better!

+    Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to

+    improve their privacy and security on the Internet.  It also enables

+    software developers to create new communication tools

+    with built-in privacy features.  Tor provides the foundation for

+    a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals

+    to share information over public networks without compromising their

+    privacy.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family

+    members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the

+    like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers.  Tor's <a

+    href="<page docs/hidden-services>">hidden services</a>

+    let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal

+    the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive

+    communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors,

+    or people with illnesses.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and

+    dissidents. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use Tor to allow their

+    workers to connect to their home website while they're in a foreign

+    country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're working with

+    that organization.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    Groups such as Indymedia recommend Tor for safeguarding their members'

+    online privacy and security. Activist groups like the Electronic Frontier

+    Foundation (EFF) recommend Tor as a mechanism for

+    maintaining civil liberties online. Corporations use Tor as a safe way

+    to conduct competitive analysis, and to protect sensitive procurement

+    patterns from eavesdroppers. They also use it to replace traditional

+    VPNs, which reveal the exact amount and timing of communication. Which

+    locations have employees working late? Which locations have employees

+    consulting job-hunting websites? Which research divisions are communicating

+    with the company's patent lawyers?

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    A branch of the U.S. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence

+    gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle

+    East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling

+    web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs,

+    and for security during sting operations.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    The variety of people who use Tor is actually <a

+    href="http://freehaven.net/doc/fc03/econymics.pdf">part of what makes

+    it so secure</a>.  Tor hides you among <a href="<page about/torusers>">the

+    other users on the network</a>,

+    so the more populous and diverse the user base for Tor is, the more your

+    anonymity will be protected.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#whyweneedtor">Why we need Tor</a></h3>

+    

+    <p>

+    Using Tor protects you against a common form of Internet surveillance

+    known as "traffic analysis."  Traffic analysis can be used to infer

+    who is talking to whom over a public network.  Knowing the source

+    and destination of your Internet traffic allows others to track your

+    behavior and interests.  This can impact your checkbook if, for example,

+    an e-commerce site uses price discrimination based on your country or

+    institution of origin.  It can even threaten your job and physical safety

+    by revealing who and where you are. For example, if you're travelling

+    abroad and you connect to your employer's computers to check or send mail,

+    you can inadvertently reveal your national origin and professional

+    affiliation to anyone observing the network, even if the connection

+    is encrypted.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    How does traffic analysis work?  Internet data packets have two parts:

+    a data payload and a header used for routing.  The data payload is

+    whatever is being sent, whether that's an email message, a web page, or an

+    audio file.  Even if you encrypt the data payload of your communications,

+    traffic analysis still reveals a great deal about what you're doing and,

+    possibly, what you're saying.  That's because it focuses on the header,

+    which discloses source, destination, size, timing, and so on.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    A basic problem for the privacy minded is that the recipient of your

+    communications can see that you sent it by looking at headers.  So can

+    authorized intermediaries like Internet service providers, and sometimes

+    unauthorized intermediaries as well.  A very simple form of traffic

+    analysis might involve sitting somewhere between sender and recipient on

+    the network, looking at headers.

+    </p>

+    

+    <p>

+    But there are also more powerful kinds of traffic analysis.  Some

+    attackers spy on multiple parts of the Internet and use sophisticated

+    statistical techniques to track the communications patterns of many

+    different organizations and individuals.  Encryption does not help against

+    these attackers, since it only hides the content of Internet traffic, not

+    the headers.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#thesolution">The solution: a distributed, anonymous network</a></h3>

+    

+    <p>

+    Tor helps to reduce the risks of both simple and sophisticated traffic

+    analysis by distributing your transactions over several places on the

+    Internet, so no single point can link you to your destination.  The idea

+    is similar to using a twisty, hard-to-follow route in order to throw off

+    somebody who is tailing you — and then periodically erasing your

+    footprints.  Instead of taking a direct route from source to

+    destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway

+    through several relays that cover your tracks so no observer at any

+    single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going.

+    </p>
