Problem

How could I detect someone running a Tor bridge inside my local network? I guess I could use a Tor client and try all the IPs to see if they work as a bridge. Is there a faster solution? Maybe using nmap somehow? I am a normal user inside the network, so I don't control any switch, etc.

Fix for: Detect Tor bridge inside my network

Low Risk

Try wireshark/tcpdump, the dumps can be sorted for encrypted packets. Then just look for patterns. Why are you looking for a bridge if you are not the admin?
