Tor Weekly News - July 22, 2015
I bring to your attention the weekly news of the Tor community.
I started with the last record at the moment, if you wish to translate other entries, write in comments.
Students in the framework of the pilot program Tor Summer of Privacy continued to work on their projects.
At the last onion development meeting in Washington, Jesse Victors presented significant progress in working on his DNS-like Onion Name System (OnioNS). Many bugs have been fixed and this software is now in status, ready for a public demonstration. “Interserver interaction needs to be fixed in some bugs, and the code is almost all up to date. As soon as the work is completed, I will be almost ready for beta testing. ”

The prototype of the OnioNS server can be found on the github: OnioNS on GitHub
The task of introducing a global source of randomization, which is key to creating a new generation of onion services, as well as for the OnionNS, was also worked out ( OnioNS mail list ).
Israel Leiva sent the first report on its project GetTor. GetTor is currently sending links to copies of the Top Browser hosted both on GitHub and in dropbox, the autoresponder message has been supplemented with the necessary information. Upcoming changes include a script for Google Drive, a mirror link distribution, and a github as the default download source. GetTor robot is a project, using which, the user can get a torus browser in cases where this opportunity is blocked (the official site and its mirrors are blocked).

Cristobal Leiva also sent its first report on the Relay Web Status Dashboard project. The user interface prototype was thought out and the development stages were prioritized: “In two weeks I'm going to encode the components of graphs and log viewing.” The Relay Web Status Dashboard project is designed to help operators monitor their torus relays.

And, ultimately, Donncha O'Cearbhaill covered the unit with tests of the balancer OnionBalance, and got the opportunity to test the system in real life.
OnionBalance allows requests for hidden Tor services to be distributed among multiple instances of Tor.

The Guardian Project has announced new releases of ChatSecure and Orbot.

Orbot: https://lists.mayfirst.org/pipermail/guardian-dev/2015-July/004453.html
Anthony G. Basile announced ( lists.torproject.org/ ) a new release of tor-ramdisk, a micro distribution of Linux OS, the main purpose of which is to launch a tor server in the most secure environment.
The Tails team is planning a November sprint aimed at porting Tails ( https://tails.boum.org/ ) to the current stable release of Debian Jessie.
Micah Lee from The Intercept has posted instructions for secure online chat for dummies: https://firstlook.org . The tutorial includes setting up an online chat to use Tor.
For those who want the world to look more like what it looks like in the movie “Johnny Mnemonic” than it does in “CITIZENFOUR”: you can listen to how Keanu Reeves narrates in the unexpectedly soothing animated video about the Deep Web and torus services, which is part of a documentary film from Alex Winter, which is due to be released soon.
