Yes, it's doable, but at least it's harder than scraping a website. One could have the start-tor-browser script generate a unique key at first run, based on the hashed time (nanosecond accuracy) that the download had completed. Users would need to include the key with the bridge request. The bridge database could ignore multiple requests from a given key, or limit them appropriately. The keys could be passed on to the bridges, and each bridge would accept connections only from its assigned clients. The process could be totally hidden for normal users. But each account would require a separate download and installation. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
