The developers of the anonymous Tor network have released version 0.2.0 of the Arti project, which is developing a Tor client written in Rust. The project is in an experimental development stage, falling short of the functionality of the main Tor client written in C, and is not yet ready to fully replace it. A version 1.0 is planned for release in September, aimed at stabilizing the API, CLI, and settings, making it suitable for initial use by regular users. In the more distant future, when the Rust code reaches a level that can fully replace the C version, the developers intend to designate Arti as the primary implementation of Tor and discontinue support for the C implementation. <\/p>\n
Unlike the C implementation, which was initially designed as a SOCKS proxy and then adapted to other needs, Arti is being developed from the start as a modular embeddable library that various applications can use. Additionally, the development of the new project takes into account all past experiences in Tor development, which will help avoid known architectural problems and make the project more modular and efficient. The code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses. <\/p>\n
One of the reasons for rewriting Tor in Rust is the desire to achieve a higher level of code security by using a language that ensures safe memory handling. According to Tor developers, at least half of all vulnerabilities tracked by the project will be eliminated in the Rust implementation, provided that the code does not use 'unsafe' blocks. Rust will also facilitate faster development compared to using C, thanks to the expressiveness of the language and strict guarantees that minimize the need for double-checking and writing unnecessary code. <\/p>\n
