DetecTor is an open source project to implement client side SSL/TLS MITM detection, compromised CA detection and server impersonation detection, by making use of the Tor network.

Material presented at #30C3 conference: Lightning talk video, transcript and workshop slides.

Status: Early development. A sphere-probe utility (beta) is available (monitor your own server and alert on unexpected MITM certificates, or check for certificate consistency of direct and remote connections). Transparent integration into SSL/TLS client protocol code of the NSS library is intended.

The DetecTor project is independent of the Tor project, but encourages the use of the Tor software and the Tor network for its purposes. While a major goal of the Tor project is to implement anonymity, the DetecTor project doesn't attempt to achieve anonymity, but utilizes the distributed nature of the Tor network.
