+TorBirdy is an extension that configures Thunderbird to make connections over |
|
| 1239 |
+the Tor anonymity network. TorBirdy has been under development for quite a |
|
| 1240 |
+while but there are two known leaks that prevent it from being used by a wider |
|
| 1241 |
+audience. As part of this project, you will be working on plugging the known |
|
| 1242 |
+leaks and implementing a HTTP proxy. |

+<b>Part 1:</b> There are two patches pending with Mozilla that will plug the two known |
|
| 1247 |
+leaks in Thunderbird where the local time is disclosed through the date and the |
|
| 1248 |
+message-ID header. As part of your project, you will work on getting these |
|
| 1249 |
+patches finished/reimplemented and getting them merged with Mozilla. Please |
|
| 1250 |
+look at tickets <a |
|
| 1251 |
+href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6314">#6314</a> and <a |
|
| 1252 |
+href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6315">#6315</a> for more |
|

+information. |

|

+<b>Part 2:</b> TorBirdy needs a HTTP proxy or a HTTP -> SOCKS5 shim. Please look at |
|
| 1258 |
+ticket <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6958">#6958</a> |
|
| 1259 |
+for more information. Note: this has to be done using JavaScript and not using |
|
| 1260 |
+an external proxy. |

+ <p> |
|
| 1264 |
+If time permits and you are awesome enough to finish the above two tasks, you |
|
| 1265 |
+will be working on the remaining TorBirdy tickets. |

+Applicants should be familiar with C++ and JavaScript. As part of your |
|
| 1270 |
+application for this project, please submit code samples for previous C++ and |
|
| 1271 |
+JavaScript projects that you have developed or point us to projects you have |
|
| 1272 |
+been involved with (links to a public Git/GitHub repository preferred). Prior |
|
| 1273 |
+extension development is a big plus and will be given preference during |
|
| 1274 |
+application ranking. |
