"realtime_protection" (EnderByEndera/realtime_protection) is a Spring Boot "指挥系统" (command-and-control system) that generates dynamic/static blocking rules and DDoS-mitigation commands as tasks dispatched to multiple field sites ("局点"), tracking per-site command status, whitelist hits, and full command history — architecture consistent with centralized, auditable enforcement-command dispatch across TSG deployments rather than a single-site tool.
Commit: "ft: 动态、静态任务生成指令写入数据库时,根据多局点下发多个指令" (when writing generated commands for dynamic/static tasks to the database, dispatch multiple commands per multiple field sites), [email protected], 2024-10-28.

A MESA Lab monthly report describes a 'web-proxy' engineering task that modified the open-source Ultraviolet web-proxy project to add keyword- and specific-URL-blocking, alongside deployment work (certificate issuance, redirect handling) and a document listing which sites the proxy is permitted to relay; the purpose (internal filtered access vs. a broader capability) is not stated in this excerpt.
TSG/CM ships with pre-built, first-class 'Learning Object' entries specifically for Freegate (Object ID 18) and Psiphon3 (Object ID 19), plus a generic 'Top Server IP' object (ID 20) -- default product features, not customer-commissioned custom signatures. The Psiphon3 object auto-learns and dynamically updates a live blocklist that reached roughly 70,000 IPs at one deployment before a database issue temporarily dropped it to ~50,000.
Crash-dump stack traces reveal TSG's core packet-processing engine (sapp) architecture: a custom multi-threaded C engine using 'marsio' as the DPDK-style packet-I/O driver, a plugin system for protocol handlers (confirmed: plug/protocol/http/http.so), and a libdocumentanalyze component that actively decompresses gzip content and parses ZIP/document formats found inside HTTP bodies -- i.e. inspection goes beyond headers into reconstructed application content.
An internal MESA Lab research survey ("审查规避调研报告") catalogs current academic circumvention research the lab tracks as detection R&D input: Geneva/GET-out packet-mutation evasion, the WebRTC-based Protozoa tunnel, and CDN-based domain shadowing combined with domain fronting -- evidence the lab actively monitors the circumvention literature rather than working purely from first principles.
certstore's own commit history documents its transparent-TLS-MITM mechanics directly: it writes the client's observed SNI into the SAN field of the leaf certificate it mints on the fly, supports ECC issuance (secp192r1/secp256r1) for those forged certs, and reads its Trusted/Untrusted decryption-keyring configuration from MAAT's DECRYPTION_KEYRING table -- confirming the interception pipeline end-to-end: client SNI in, matching forged certificate out, gated by MAAT-synced keyring policy.
Geedge runs an explicit, named signature-extraction program specifically targeting circumvention tools — Freegate, Psiphon, Ultrasurf, and Tor Browser (by package name: com.golden.freegate, com.psiphon3.subscription, us.ultrasurf.mobile.ultrasurf, org.torproject.torbrowser) — across Android/iOS/Windows, with weekly signature updates, for a site internally called 'K project'.
