A custom protocol can potentially be fingerprinted. I wouldn't be surprised if they used something less sophisticated. Like (encrypted) direct messages on twitter/reddit/facebook. This way the traffic blends with the rest.
- nameismypw 7y agoThere's a companion project to Tor called obs4proxy which is designed to hide the protocol's implementation.
- kijin 7y agoIt doesn't need to be a completely custom protocol. HTTPS can handle a very large percentage of anyone's communication needs these days.
- Paul-ish 7y agoAn application level protocol implemented on top of HTTPS can be fingerprinted. If you look up "Website Traffic Fingerprinting" you will see what I mean. That traffic is encrypted.
