Re: Snakes On A Tor

Hi,

I have another idea. With Snakes On A Tor you are trying to estimate 
amount of exit "abusers" and catch them.

What about some simple exit traffic analysis to detect how many people 
are using non-encrypted communications?

We would have then the estimation about actual and potential abuse.

I propose to log just basic information: which port was used for 
connection. No traffic analysis, no saving information about the target 
server.
 If it is default POP3 port, then we assume user is not using encrypted 
connection, and if it is default POP3S port we asume s/he does. Without 
doing real traffic analysis.

It would also be fine to have spme basic statistics about what kind of 
"internet services" (web, mail, IRC,...) are people using mostly. That 
would also help to design trafiic priority in the future...

It would also be usefulto have some basic information which are the most 
"targeted" servers (we can assume there are Hotmail, and similar), but 
there is a question whether that is ethical or not. But for design of a 
network would be fine to know which parts of network must be highly 
accessible.

bye, Matej
