Re: [tor-dev] Networks Blocking Tor's SSL Connections

Hello! I am a researcher focusing on blockability of Tor connections. If you have pcap files that you would like to share showing Tor SSL connections that have been blocked and non-Tor SSL connections that have not been blocked, this would be helpful for my research. I have this pcap analysis framework: https://github.com/blanu/AdversaryLab-offline as well as this transport for Tor that uses the analysis to find an optimal encoding so that Tor connections are not blocked: https://github.com/blanu/Dust So essentially given two sets of pcaps, one for blocked connections and one for unblocked connections, I can automatically unblock Tor connections.

Iâm sorry, I only have a pcap file for blocked Tor connections.

If you don't have pcap files or you don't want to share them, if you have access to a network that blocks Tor in a reproducible way, perhaps we could run some tests

Iâm sorry, I no longer have access to that network.

Let me know if you're interested!

Hi All,

This morning I observed a âfree wifiâ network blocking torâs SSL connections. While other SSL connections from my machine went through, I observed multiple network traces of tor completing a TCP 3-way handshake, and then getting no reply to the first SSL packet it sent.

I think they may have been blocking unknown or untested certificates, but I canât be sure.

Still, I was able to use meek(-google) to access tor.

Has anyone else seen this kind of blocking behaviour?
(Is this the right list?)
