[Feature request] Implement SIP003 plugin interface

[madeye]

Hi @GreaterFire,

I find this project is quite interesting. It may be necessary to move on to SOCKS5 over TLS in the near future.

I'm wondering if you can implement SIP003 to let your project work with shadowsocks. If so, this project would get supported on all the known platforms and devices instantly.

If you have any question, please let me know.

Thanks,
Max

Thank you for your offer. Let me consider this for a while.

I am very sorry. After due consideration, I am likely not going to implement SIP003 of trojan for the following reasons:

1. I am still a college student and might not have time (a tough school :) ). Just writing trojan itself has cost me a lot of study time.
2. I am not proficient at C networking programming (which you use as examples).
3. Trojan requires a lot of parameters in the config (see here) and I don't know how to integrate them into ShadowSocks (would be a tough work).

However, if you really like this protocol, you can implement it by yourself, because I think the decrypted protocol is pretty much like ShadowSocks (except for the additional hashed password field and CMD in the request packet (right now I didn't implement UDP, just like ss-libev)) and will be easier for you to implement. BTW, trojan is licensed under GPL-v3, so feel free to fork and make any modification to it. I have elaborated on the protocol in my documentation. Also I have another little request :) If you choose to verbatim integrate trojan into ShadowSocks, could you please keep the protocol name trojan and list me (GreaterFire <GreaterFire at protonmail dot com>) in the contributors list? Thank you very much.

Sorry again for not being able to contribute to ShadowSocks, and thanks again for the offer. I would really love to see trojan being integrated into ShadowSocks but I might not be able to implement it myself.

Feel free to email me or reply to this comment. Hope to see you soon!

Best luck!

I check out trojan code, and I find maybe is difficult to integrate shadowsocks-libev with SIP003 plugin. But we could use trojan forward ss-redir data to ss-server. like this?

@0neday It's already implemented. I just don't want to document it.

But... this is a weird method to implement SIP003 plugin for shdadowsocks-libev.
