-The Tor Project makes use of the Python tool <a
-href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/phw/exitmap.git/">Exitmap</a> to
-systematically scan for malicious and misbehaving exit relays.  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.

-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.
