Hi,
in the context of [1] I'm wondering if it makes sense to add bridge support to ornetradar.
If there is any value to automatically detect multiple new bridges:
- Do bridges publish ContactInfo in their descriptor? If not: Why not? (it shouldn't disclose their bridge location)
another raw idea:
- would the bridge auth be willing to publish a randomly generated AS identifier (regenerated daily) that allows new bridges added on the same day to be grouped by that identifier without directly disclosing the AS itself.
Note: This introduces a confirmation opportunity, where attackers can learn the AS in which a new bridge is added if they added a bridge in the same AS on the same day. To reduce this problem it could be a hourly generated identifier.
regards, nusenu
