Regarding Tor, does anyone have, or has anyone considered, an 
auto-discovery robot to find Tor proxies?

This would be a Tor client which would connect to Tor at regular 
intervals and hit a special URL with a magic authenticating token in it, 
that would automatically ban the IP in question.

Sooner or later, it would work its way through all, or almost all, of 
the proxies in the Tor cloud.
