(quoting) :

?Basically, say you want to look like an XMPP chat instead of SSL,? he
writes to me, referring to a protocol for instant messaging as the
decoy for the encrypted SSL communications. ?Obfsproxy should start
up, you choose XMPP, and obfsproxy should emulate XMPP to the point
where even a sophisticated [deep packet inspection] device cannot find
anything suspicious.?
