Tor ☛ Transparency, Openness, and Our 2023-2024 Financials
Every year, as required by U.S. federal law for 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the Tor Project completes a Form 990, and as required by contractual obligations and state regulations, an independent audit of our financial statements. After completing standard audits for 2023-2024,* we added our federal tax filings (Form 990) and audited financial statements to our website. We upload all of our tax documents and publish a blog post about these documents in order to be transparent.
(These documents have been available on our website for a while, but we are just now able to publish this blog post because of limited capacity. We hope you understand!)

Mozilla Attack & Defense: Attempting Cross Translation Unit Taint Analysis for Firefox
Preface
Browser security is a cutting edge frontier for exploit mitigations, addressing bug classes holistically, and identifying vulnerabilities. Not everything we try works, and we think it’s important to document our shortcomings in addition to our successes. A responsible project uses all available tools to find bugs and vulnerabilities before you ship. Besides many other tools and techniques, Firefox uses Clang Tidy and the Clang Static Analyzer, including many customized checks for enforcing the coding conventions in the project.
