In case of network, the way to fix middleshitboxes is to make them impossible. There's no other way. This means encrypting protocols, making sure there are no fixed bits in the "unused" headers, adding confusing options as a part of normal workflow, etc.

But that's the way it has to be - otherwise how would my phone know that my middlebox is valid, and the NSA's middlebox isn't? (Perhaps I explicitly allow it - but then they just blackmail you by cutting off your Internet service entirely if you don't approve the NSA middlebox)
