This was an idea brought up by delta-sys, basically it's a webspider that searches for proxies that attempt to subvert censorware and then updates it's censorware to block that site.
any ideas for counter measures?

ok crappy ideas, but it nothing else works.
* Hosting by big websites, IE, yahoo.
* On the fly paths/subdomains for the proxy
Both of theise are easy to stop, I think the goal has to be making the cost (in usefulness and time) not worth it.

First question is how would a spider like this operate?
would it be searching for any cgi proxy, or just foih?
In order to investigate ideas which can counter FOIH & friends... I've opened up a subproject called anti-foih, these are tasks related to the study of anti-anti-censorship utilities.
I just hope in the process we dont build a better censorship filter, ofcoarse this is where full-disclosure gets scary, although we can still reap benifits from it.

eh, either, it dosn't really matter, it might search for a page that fill certain charictoristics, it might test out the forms and compare the result to what it thinks the page should be.
