   I think this is a really bad idea overall, but I'd be curious to see 
what this would look like in practice.  Do you detect the (unpatched for 
past five years) Cisco routers on the network?  Do you flag the Intel 
processor?  Is the closed-source NVIDIA driver a dealbreaker?  I think 
that everything around hardware has tradeoffs.  Even if something like 
this existed and worked well, there'd be a push to then just not use 
whatever software had this bundled with it.

   Lots of people use Tor on not-great hardware because that's all they 
have access to.
