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. - </p> - - <p> -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. - </p> - </li> - <a id="expand_nyx"></a> <li> <b>Expand Nyx</b>
