All of this communication typically takes place over encrypted TLS. I don't see how you can determine what is "illegal" or what is not illegal without some sort of TLS intercept going on, which no one is going to stand for. Identifying content without introspection is just going to not work at all

On top of this most TOTP and HOTP systems have additional security checks like blocking reuse of codes, rate-limiting of guesses, and in some cases acceptance of earlier codes (in TOTP) if the clock skews too far that make them much stronger options which decreases security but is certainly more of
