Turbo OONI report downloader
by David Fifield 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

I wrote a program that uses the OONI API to download reports and keep a local directory of reports up to date. It's much faster than the Wget loop I used to use and it finishes quickly when there is nothing new to download. git clone https://www.bamsoftware.com/git/ooni-sync.git For example, lately I've had to download a lot of tcp_connect reports. I run it like this: ooni-sync -xz -directory reports.tcp_connect/ test_name=tcp_connect This command downloads the index of tcp_connect reports and only downloads the ones that are not already downloaded. It compresses the downloaded files with xz. The next time I need to update, I run the same command again, and it only downloads reports that are new since the last time. You can use other query parameters supported by the API, like probe_cc, probe_asn, since, and until. For example: ooni-sync -xz -directory reports.is/ probe_cc=IS since=2017-01-01 ooni-sync -xz -directory reports.as25/ probe_asn=AS25 ooni-sync -xz -directory reports.tor-turkey/ test_name=vanilla_tor probe_cc=TR ooni-sync -xz -directory reports.web_connectivity/ test_name=web_connectivity since=2017-01-01 until=2017-01-02 I prefer to keep all the reports compressed on disk, so I always use the -xz option, but by default reports are saved unmodified.

I'm reviewing the Malaysian Citizen Lab test url report summary and there seem to be false positives (or possible interference that is not visible) The ones that are obviously outdated, and redirected due to domain parking or something I file for removal (usually short lived minor porn sites) Where should I report and track these? http://www.yawa.org on-line gambling site is reported as possible http- diff
