pyptlib README

pyptlib is a little Python library which understands the pluggable transport managed-proxy protocol.

You might be interested in pyptlib if you have an application that obfuscates TCP traffic and you want to integrate it easily with Tor.

pyptlib speaks with Tor and informs your application about which pluggable transports Tor needs, in which ports they should listen for connections, in which filesystem directory they should keep state, etc.

pyptlib doesn’t help your application do networking or obfuscation.

pyptlib assumes that your application is executed by Tor as a managed-proxy.

pyptlib assumes that your application acts as a proxy: it listens for traffic on a TCP port and pushes the traffic somewhere else.

pyptlib assumes that your application has a SOCKS server when it acts as a client. This is needed because Tor needs to dynamically select where its data will be pushed to.
