+# You would also like to know which IPs support SSL (super-secret listening).
+
+# An IP supports SSL if it has an Area-Broadcast Accessor, or ABA, anywhere in
+# the supernet sequences (outside any square bracketed sections), and a
+# corresponding Byte Allocation Block, or BAB, anywhere in the hypernet
+# sequences. An ABA is any three-character sequence which consists of the same
+# character twice with a different character between them, such as xyx or aba.
+# A corresponding BAB is the same characters but in reversed positions: yxy and
+# bab, respectively.
+
+# For example:
+
+#     aba[bab]xyz supports SSL (aba outside square brackets with corresponding
+# bab within square brackets).
+#     xyx[xyx]xyx does not support SSL (xyx, but no corresponding yxy).
+#     aaa[kek]eke supports SSL (eke in supernet with corresponding kek in
+# hypernet; the aaa sequence is not related, because the interior character
+# must be different).
+#     zazbz[bzb]cdb supports SSL (zaz has no corresponding aza, but zbz has a
+# corresponding bzb, even though zaz and zbz overlap).
