Hi Duncan,

I'm glad you're introducing the project to the list !
I'd like to share an example of what one can do with these probes :
http://www.bortzmeyer.org/dns-routing-hijack-turkey.html
In this case, they've been used to investigating Turkish censorship some
weeks ago, with lying DNS at first then replacing Google Public DNS (8.8.4.4)
with a fake DNS recursor located in Turkish Telecom network.

You can see a map of probes here :

Some countries have very few and if you happen to travel to these countries
and know people there who could be hosting such a probe, you should
participate in the Ambassador program :
