This is on the short-term todo list. However, it's been told to us that humans are crawling the bridges, not bots. In particular, China is crawling the https and smtp pools by human interaction, not bots. Stopping the bots is a fine idea as well. I believe captchas are easy to break by automated analysis already, but we'll find out when we roll out a captcha on bridges.torproject.org. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B +1-781-352-0568 Website: https://www.torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject Skype: lewmanator *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
