Yes, for that I had omon (Onion Monitor) released, but it was not
appreciated by the Tor and a.p.a-s community and therefore it is
no longer available. With omon you can see, when OminMix's Tor
Control Port is open the size and destination of the encrypted payload.

Since this is really bad from Danner doing this, I had released omon
to show that a little Government trojan, written in Assembly language,
could prove in court cases that an OmniMix user had sent at time x
the amount of data y to entry remailer z. And with these little open
pool Mixmaster and YAMN Mixnets, TLAs gather the rest, to complete
the picture to whom a Remailer user has sent (outfile) remailer payloads.

That is also the reason why the Onion Courier Mixnet does adatptive
padding for the client payload, so that third-parties can not see
that someone sends an always equal in size Mixmaster/YAMN paylod.

Once the Onion Courier Mixnet payload arrives at the entry Onion
Courier Tor Hidden Service Mixnode the payload will be padded to
always equal size and encrypted with a daily changing ephemeral key
set by the Onion Courier Mixnode.

And as you can guess, The Type IV superior Onion Courier Mixnet
was also not appreciated by the Tor and a.p.a-s community, which
outperforms Mixmaster and YAMN Mixnets by length I have removed
the repository too.

But no problem as the Nym Mixnet uses 2KB Sphinx packets, for
encrypted Mix payloads.
