Hi Dan. Very cool. Would you like some analysis of how well your pluggable transport mimicks real BitTorrent traffic?I don't have time to install bitsmuggler myself right now as I am currently at a conference. However, if you send me a .pcap file recorded with tcpdump or Wireshark of bitsmuggler traffic, I will test it against BitTorrent traffic using the Adversary Labs tools I have been developing.By the way, George is on my committee as well!

This made the implementation quite tricky to get right, so my reasoning is that it's a worthy trade-off.I worked with Dr. George Danezis as my supervisor for the project. He came up with the idea to try bittorrent, the crypto strategy and advised me throughout.The docs in the repo contain more information. I researched this topic for my master thesis, and the last 2 months i did a rewrite of the project. At the moment I did not integrate with Tor (working on an Extended orPort implementation) and I need to do more work on the server to make it run properly as a long running process.Please ask me anything for clarification and let me know how can i make this useful for the Tor project. Any kind of feedback is very welcome. I'm working a 9-5 starting next week, but I'm going to work on it in my spare time.Thanks!
