Removed README.protocols because:remove/readme-md-protocols
* Tor via TLS should be detectable via DGA as a risk * protocol limitations should be part of the official documentation in `doc/` Signed-off-by: Toni Uhlig <matzeton@googlemail.com>

-Tor protocol can use SSL to hide itself. These are examples:
-
-TCP 37.128.208.46:9001 <-> 172.16.253.130:2078 [VLAN: 0][proto: 91/SSL][132 pkts/93834 bytes][SSL client: www.jwrpsthzrih.com]
-TCP 172.16.253.130:2021 <-> 75.147.140.249:443 [VLAN: 0][proto: 91/SSL][28 pkts/8053 bytes][SSL client: www.5akw23dx.com]
-TCP 172.16.253.130:2077 <-> 77.247.181.163:443 [VLAN: 0][proto: 91/SSL][136 pkts/94329 bytes][SSL client: www.fk4pprq42hsvl2wey.com]

-It can be detected by analyzing the SSL client certificate and checking the name that does not match to a real host in
-addition of being a bit weird. As doing DNS resolution is not a task for nDPI we let applications do and then recognize
-SSL-tunnelled connections.

-For this reason nDPI uses a heuristic, non-DNS based, approach to detect tor communications. If possible, apps
-should validate the certificate using the DNS. This is not something nDPI can afford to do for performance
