Here an OSINT notes/analysis on several of that "suspicious" software:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqtQ4kKC2rLzdEVjWkxTcUVTTWxmdnh4VWFDY25zTHc&usp=sharing

I've been particularly considering also other "suspicious" software that
has been "strangely" solicited/promoted across many activists community
but comes from unknown/anonymous persons.

Please note that such TorProject copycat site seems to be particularly
targeting UAE users from Sourceforge's stats:
- TorBrowser (16.170 download with 2nd top-country UAE)
- Browser4Tor  (357 download, with 46% from UAE)

That analysis is a bit old, September 2013, but may contain userful info
for people digging into that problem.
