  1. o Major features (security)
  2. - Implementation of SocksSocket option - SocksSocket implements a SOCKS
  3. proxy reachable by Unix Domain Socket. This allows client applications to
  4. communicate with Tor without having the ability to create AF_INET or
  5. AF_INET6 family sockets. If an application has permission to create a socket
  6. with AF_UNIX, it may directly communicate with Tor as if it were an other
  7. SOCKS proxy. This should allow high risk applications to be entirely prevented
  8. from connecting directly with TCP/IP, they will be able to only connect to the
  9. internet through AF_UNIX and only through Tor.
