Fwknop server for the TOR network.

## NAME

**fwknop\_serv** - Fwknop server for the TOR network.

## DESCRIPTION

**fwknop\_serv** is a simplisitc TCP server that is only used if SPA packets are sent over the  TOR anonymizing network (http://www.torproject.org). Use of this server results in bidirectional communication, so it technically breaks the usual  unidirectional nature of the SPA protocol; More information can be found at the following : url http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/docs/talks/dc14\_fwknop\_slides.pdf.
