 Assuming the forensic automation works out as a stepping stone to
 automated testing, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to adapt TorFlow
 to guide the exit choices of the Firefox tests, to see if any exits cause
 Firefox to either leak to disk, bypass proxy, or simply do weird stuff or
 fail to load webpages.

 This would also involve integration with prototype sandboxes and possibly
 even VM instrumentation, to watch for evidence of exploit/violation.

 Putting this component in TorFlow for now, but it is probably shard with
 QA and sandboxing.
