Somaroute is a routing infrastructure for the emotional-contagion based manipulation of Internet traffic on an infrastructure level, allowing Internet infrastructure providers to manipulate the mood of users on their service by changing their exposure to various content types through psychological effects triggered by traffic delay.

The underlying mechanism and implementation of Somaroute is described in the proof of concept whitepaper in this repository, somaroute.pdf.

A demo video, somraoute.mp4, and an overview presentation, somaroute_presentation.pdf, are also provided.

Additionally, the tinyproxy folder contains the source-code for the Tinyproxy-based module we use for traffic manipulation of HTTP traffic.

See the README therein for compilation instructions, or the OpenWRT cross compiling page for instructions for OpenWRT-based routers.
