-The Tor Project makes use of the Python tool <a

-href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/phw/exitmap.git/">Exitmap</a> to

-systematically scan for malicious and misbehaving exit relays.  Once such a

-relay is found, it is assigned the BadExit flag which prevents clients from

-selecting the relay as last hop in their circuit.

-    </p>

-

-    <p>

-Exitmap supports scanning modules which implement a specific scan over

-exit relays.  Examples are the DNS module which checks for DNS poisoning

-or the patching check module which looks out for tampered file

-downloads.

-This project is meant to extend exitmap in several ways.  First, it

-should be made fully autonomous.  That means that exitmap should be able

-to run in the background, periodically fetch new relay descriptors, and

-have a smart algorithm which keeps scanning all exit relays

-periodically.  Second, exitmap should be able to emulate some user

-interaction and dynamically "explore" the web in order to detect

-tampering.  Third, unit tests should be added for existing and new code

-in order to make the code base more robust.
