| 628 |
+ <p>We would like to have a fully automatic firewall-probing system for |
|
| 629 |
+ blocking systems with no long-term state (i.e. firewalls that can |
|
| 630 |
+ examine each connection, but do not change their behaviour for future |
|
| 631 |
+ connections based on the traffic they have seen).</p> |
|
| 632 |
+ <p>Ideally, volunteers would only need to set up one or more test servers, |
|
| 633 |
+ and run the probe client program on a publicly accessible computer |
|
| 634 |
+ behind the firewall.</p> |
|
| 635 |
+ <p>The test tool should:</p> |
|
| 636 |
+ <ul> |
|
| 637 |
+ <li>generate packet captures on both ends (and send them out to the |
|
| 638 |
+ extent possible),</li> |
|
| 639 |
+ <li>cycle through all the SSL configurations we might want to test |
|
| 640 |
+ through a censorship device, and</li> |
|
| 641 |
+ <li>also test some other protocols to see whether they are allowed |
|
| 642 |
+ through the firewall (IMAP and other mail protocols, BitTorrent, |
|
| 643 |
+ DTLS, etc.).</li> |
|
| 644 |

+ <p>Currently, Tor bridges and relays read an entire IP->country database |
|
| 760 |
+ into memory from a text file during startup. We would like to |
|
| 761 |
+ distribute this database and store it on disk in a much more compact |
|
