A MESA Lab monthly-report task list includes the next-step item 'design a scheme to identify forged/spoofed SNI in traffic' ([SNI判别]), alongside a separate active/passive traffic-fingerprinting project ('CAM-TEST') that extracts service banners passively and issues active host/port CGI GET probes.

An internal TSG functional-requirements spec ('加密协议JG') defines device support for identifying and blocking ECH, ESNI and QUIC traffic via per-connection SNI/region-matching tables (e.g. DF_QUIC_REGION), plus a companion 'FD报文全流程感知' feature that both passively monitors and actively injects synthetic verification traffic end-to-end through the network path to compute a live per-rule 'CT率' (breakthrough/penetration rate) — the system self-measures how often its own QUIC/ESNI/ECH blocks fail to take effect, and separately throttles logging/blocking detail for rule IDs receiving unusually high hit counts (DF_ATTACK_PROTECTION, 'targeted attack detection').

A MESA Lab monthly report states that adjustments to a VPN-detection module accumulated over 10,000 Psiphon3 server IPs and delayed a Psiphon3 client's ability to get online by at least 3 minutes in the researchers' test environment, an earlier-stage data point consistent with the much larger-scale (~70-73K IP) 'vpn-thwarting'/CyberNarrator Psiphon-harvesting pipeline documented elsewhere in this corpus.

MESA Lab group-meeting notes record parallel R&D on a whitelist-filtering module and a project to fingerprint cloud-hosted circumvention/proxy infrastructure at the IP-block (not single-IP) level, explicitly modeled on 2017/2019 academic 'Bulletproof-hosting IP block' research; the notes also mention local packet captures that found Psiphon IPs, the domain types/ratios Psiphon uses, and active-probing behavior with candidate detection countermeasures.

An internal experiment using BurpSuite as a MITM proxy tests injecting a forged QUIC ServerHello carrying a connection-close frame ahead of the real server response, to make the client abandon its QUIC handshake; the author separately proposes recording every site known to support QUIC and simply blocking plain TCP connections to those sites, on the theory that this indirectly forces QUIC off since a censor cannot otherwise tell in advance which TCP flow would have upgraded to QUIC.

TSG automatically generates recurring weekly "SNI Report of Overseas APP" and companion "Server IP and Location of Overseas APP" reports at what is almost certainly a China-national (not export-customer) scale — single weekly runs process from ~5.7 trillion to over 135 billion rows and up to ~775TB/week — breaking down QUIC.SNI/SSL.SNI/HTTP.Host traffic per named blocked-in-China platform (YouTube, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, Netflix, BBC, Viber, Line, Snapchat, Gmail, HBO, and more), down to individual CDN edge hostnames (e.g. specific scontent-*.fbcdn.net and rr*---sn-*.googlevideo.com nodes ranked by bytes). The report series recurs weekly from at least Feb 2023 through Mar 2024.

A dedicated internal "运营商前端分析团队" (Carrier Front-end Analysis Team) produces weekly, carrier-specific traffic-analysis reports explicitly titled "新疆移动流量分析报告" (Xinjiang Mobile Traffic Analysis Report) and "新疆联通流量分析报告" (Xinjiang Unicom Traffic Analysis Report), with instances dated from at least July 2022 through March 2024. One instance (Xinjiang Mobile, 2023-05-15) reports total carrier bandwidth of 4.4Tbps (1Tbps access bandwidth), 27.34PB of weekly throughput, 123 distinct identified application-layer protocols, and a section (4.1, pages 17+) explicitly tracking server IP/location for 28 named overseas apps (BBC, Discord, ESPN, Facebook, Gmail, Google, Hulu, Instagram, Netflix, Reddit, Skype, Telegram, Twitter, Uber, WhatsApp, Wikipedia, YouTube, Zoom, etc.).
