Re: GSoC'21 - View Only Mode

Hello!

GSoC'21: Week 7 of working on the GRC View Only Mode:

This week I've continued with the things I did last week: I added an "Add trusted" button to the trust manager where the user can add files to trust and I continued improving the trust prompt activation. It's coming together! Read all about it on the blog:

Have a nice weekend!

Hi everyone,

GSoC'21: Week 6 of working on the GRC View Only Mode:

This week I've added persistent trust to the view only mode, with a new dialog where trusted flowgraphs are listed and where the user can stop trusting flowgraphs. Read about it on the blog:

And big thanks to everyone showing interest in the project, it is very encouraging! :)

Hi,

GSoC'21: Week 5 of working on the GRC View Only Mode:

This week I have begun working on the GUI parts, such as a prompt where the user can choose to trust the flowgraph and a toggle where the user can disable the View Only Mode altogether if they desire. Additionally, I write about the PR I opened, which contains the core parts of the mode.

Happy reading!

Hello,

Another Friday => Another GSoC blog update about my work on the GRC View Only Mode! This time I've made a test asserting that untrusted code isn't executed as well as refined the code for the upcoming PR. There will be a PR this weekend containing the core parts and eventually another PR containing GUI stuff. Read more about it on the blog:

Hello,

A new Friday means a new GSoC - View Only Mode blog update! This time it focuses on using the stored parameter values (from last week) instead of evaluating the expressions. Read more about it on my blog:

Hello everyone!

I have now published the first blog post for my GSoC work on the GRC View-Only Mode. This week I have mainly worked at saving evaluated values of parameters in the grc-file. You can read about it here:

I will be posting an update on the blog each Friday, with a corresponding announcement on this list.

Hello,

I've been accepted to work with GnuRadio for this year's Google Summer of Code. I will be working on implementing a GRC View-Only Mode, which is a security feature disabling execution of block parameters in untrusted flowgraphs.

I will be posting weekly progress updates on my blog:

https://oscekh.github.io/

If you are interested in reading more about the View-Only mode it is described further in my project proposal:
