I've been curious about why censors haven't treated OONI tests differently from other network traffic (either completely blocking all traffic from OONI nodes, completely unblocking all traffic from OONI nodes, returning random blocks rather from the normal ones, or trying to physically locate them and shut them down). It seems like this tool will make it much easier to reliably locate OONI nodes without doing much effort—a censor can create a site called this-is-an-ooni-node.censor.gov.tk or whatever, submit it to OONI Run, and then see who connects to that site. Is there little or no adversarial response against the OONI project itself so far?
