There is more meta about the program to be inferred...
1) Note the formal directory structure /anonymizer/{tor,mixminion}.
Not far to presume /I2P, /RetroShare, /FreeNet, /etc is in operation as well.
2) rules100... this thing likely has more N00 rulesets as well.

Every institution has some easy and some very hard to
change configurations. So rekey and change the IP's of the
dirauths and hope you get lucky and cause them to scrap
some expensive ASIC's or lookup tables and such ;)

You could also abuse their case sensitivity, lack of port names,
shift around the delimiting and presentation for a while too.
Maybe inject nsa.gov's ip in various places for extra fun.
