Has anyone written or is someone writing a script which will take a list of remailers, and ping each of them to see if they are working, both encrypted and unencrypted? If no one has taken on that task, I'd be willing to do it.. I'll list here the remailers for whom I have the keys for... if another remailer exists which I don't know about please send me the key.
Yes, I started writing such a system about 3 weeks ago but quit when school started. Basically, it was a mail server to be operated at gnu. Remailer operators would "register" their remailer along with some stats (PGP or RIPEM capability? Public Key? Private Machine? Delay time? Mix capability? Owner? Comment field.) The software would then "ping" each remailer every 6 hours and update its database. If you wanted a list of current working remailers, you would ask the mail server (I was even thinking of adding socket capability for fast query) I might eventually take some time to finish it (it wasn't even 50% done) but I've got too much work to do now. -Ray -- Ray Cromwell | Engineering is the implementation of science; -- -- EE/Math Student | politics is the implementation of faith. -- -- rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu | - Zetetic Commentaries --
