ReporTor

This repository contains the source code for the ReporTor plugin described in the paper: ReporTor: Facilitating User Reporting of Issues Encountered in Naturalistic Web Browsing via Tor Browser. ReporTor is a plugin for Tor Browser that enables voluntary, anonymous end-user reporting of issues encountered during web browsing. ReporTor provides automatic URL capture (with query parameters stripped for privacy), predefined issue categories, open-ended text input for additional detail, and manual entry fields for exit node and Tor Browser security level. All reports are transmitted over the Tor network to a database hosted via an onion service.
