Hi Dan. Very cool. Would you like some analysis of how well your pluggable transport mimicks real BitTorrent traffic?
I don't have time to install bitsmuggler myself right now as I am currently at a conference. However, if you send me a .pcap file recorded with tcpdump or Wireshark of bitsmuggler traffic, I will test it against BitTorrent traffic using the Adversary Labs tools I have been developing. By the way, George is on my committee as well!
