    • Open Issue created by George Kadianakis @asn

    Let's get this PT merged upstream!

    David has already done most of the job: https://bananaphone.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      I tried david-bananaphone from https://github.com/david415/obfsproxy.git with the instructions from https://bananaphone.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ .

      I tried to run it in external mode, but it crashed with:

      $ ./bin/obfsproxy --log-min-severity=info bananaphone --order=1 --model=markov --corpus=/usr/share/dict/words --encoding_spec='words,sha1,4' --dest=127.0.0.1:3600 server 127.0.0.1:3601

      Simply adding the --abridged switch didn't fix it. Didn't look into this more :(

      Also, bananaphone in managed mode crashes both for client and server. I just get the notorious

      Sep 02 19:55:11.000 [warn] The communication stream of managed proxy '/usr/local/bin/obfsproxy' is 'closed'. Most probably the managed proxy stopped running. This might be a bug of the managed proxy, a bug of Tor, or a misconfiguration. Please enable logging on your managed proxy and check the logs for errors.

      and in the obfs logs I see:

      2014-09-02 19:55:09,889 [WARNING] Obfsproxy (version: 0.2.5) starting up.

AttributeError: type object 'BananaphoneClient' has no attribute 'encodingSpec'

      I wonder what's going on, maybe the merge was not clean? Maybe you want to rebase instead? Why is obfsproxy still version 0.2.5 there? It should be 0.2.12.

      Also, setup() is called on startup. When should encodingSpec be init'ed?

      Sorry for not being able to look at this deeper!

      I got these errors too recently when I was making a diagram for doc/AChildsGardenOfPluggableTransports#Bananaphone. I had to use a pre-merge commit to get it to work, maybe it was https://github.com/david415/obfsproxy/commit/cfdfbd733b3fb1b9a64317507834679821daa0ec.

      With the older commit, I got it to work with these torrc files:
