Design Documents
The design document (published at Usenix Security 2004) gives our justifications and security analysis for the Tor design:
Our follow-up paper on challenges in low-latency anonymity (still in draft form) details more recent experiences and directions: PDF version.
The specification aims to give developers enough information to build a compatible version of Tor:
- Main Tor specification
- Tor rendezvous specification
- Tor directory server specification
- Tor UI control specification
The manual for the latest stable version
provides detailed instructions for how to install and use Tor, including configuration
of client and server options.
If you are running the CVS version the manual is available
here.
The wiki provides a plethora of useful contributions from Tor users.
Look at the slides from What the Hack (WTH), and watch the video of the talk. We also have slides and video of the WTH talk on hidden services.
