Comment (by dcf):

 We wrote some obfs4 testing scripts when we were testing in Kazakhstan.
 You can use them for inspiration. This is an export of the bridgetest/
 directory in !https://www.bamsoftware.com/git/repo.eecs.berkeley.edu
 /proxy-probe.git.
   attachment:proxy-probe-bridgetest.tar.gz

 {{{
 [SITENAME] is an arbitrary identifier for the probe site
 that you have to choose.

 Add to crontab to run hourly tests:
         0 */1 * * * cd ~/kz && ./bridgetest.sh [SITENAME]

 Generate a CSV file from logs:
         find log -name '*.log' | sort | ./makecsv > bridgetest.csv

 Make a graph:
         Rscript graph.R bridgetest.csv
 }}}

 Some background is here:
   https://www.bamsoftware.com/proxy-probe/kz-data/
   https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/thesis/#p200
 The tarball I attached to this ticket is slightly newer than the
 bridgetest-20170525.zip linked there. kz-data-20170525.tar.xz has about 4
 months of sample data from US and KZ, including pcaps.
