[Important] Running old ooniprobe? Please switch over to OONI Probe CLI
by Maria Xynou 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Hi friends, Are you running the old python version of ooniprobe (https://github.com/ooni/probe-legacy)? If so, please switch over to the new OONI Probe Command Line Interface (CLI): https://ooni.org/install/cli Similarly to legacy ooniprobe, the new OONI Probe CLI is: * Supported on Linux and macOS: https://ooni.org/install/cli * Configured to run all OONI Probe tests automatically every day As legacy ooniprobe is being discontinued, if you continue running it: * You will no longer … [View More]

I have been fighting hackers in Lubbock, TX for over a year. On my parents property sits an AT&T tower #. . All of our computers, wifi, media devices, cell phones, Bluetooth devices have been compromised. There have been attempts on my life because I have uncovered a large scale Stingray Operation taking place in Lubbock. Our phones somehow have the firmware overwritten and there are hidden root files and external storages we have not set up. Our residences and vehicles are getting … [View More]raided when we leave them for a short period of time. Nothing is ever taken, but items are out of place and doors ajar that were previously closed or vice versa. Attempts to capture video footage is fruitless because even phones without Sim cards sync to Bluetooth and wifi and data is uploaded and downloaded at will, but never our will. Countless accounts have been blocked and information and photos forevet lost due to these malicious individuals. I highly suspect that on our property sits a device, Femtocell, that dupes anyones devices in the vicinity as to the cell site being legitimate. We have found cell phones not belonging to us hidden on shelves with charged batteries and active Sim cards, upon pulling out a Sim card our wifi suddenly crashes and our Direct TV blinks out. Calls are misdirected or dropped when attempting to notify authorities or seek a cessation of these hostilities against our family. Vehicles at all times of the night pull onto the property next to ours and if I try to approach they speed away. During the day vehicles stop on the road in front of our residence and business while engrossed on their phones, the suspicion of these acts are that they always transpire in a certain area or "zone" and Wiggle WiFi, AIMSCID, Ooni Probe and other applications show that we are being middled and it is affecting not only us but neighbors and even residents in a town called Slaton that is about twenty miles away. Recent phone discoveries show that this has been actively going on since 2014, and some Metadata I discovered in our pictures points to possibly 2009 or earlier. I am no hacker, nor a penetration tester, and my knowledge of firmwares, kernels, IMEIs, Metadata, Apps and Apks were non existent until a year ago I decided to look into why our wifi and cell coverage was so lousy. Since that time I have spent countless sleepless nights studying and observing, frustrated and alone piecing together the anamolies and gathering data as I went even if it made no sense to me, I knew it would to others. Two attempts were made to put a stop to my persistence and stubbornness. Both times officials have worked to keep attention away from obvious terroristic acts and attempted murder. I stand with a banner that shouts, "Anonimity and Freedom!" Currently I stand alone, beaten and tired but far from defeated. Whatever the outcome my one year old son will see the stand I chose to take despite the odds. Adrift in the matrix Adrift in the matrix [View Less]

OONI on Next Thing Co's C.H.I.P
by Snehan Kekre 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hello excellent ooni people, I've written a blog post (https://snehankekre.github.io/anti-censorCHIP) about installing ooniprobe on a $9 computer called CHIP that runs a flavor of Debian. I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or comments. I'll use them to make necessary changes to reflect accurate delivery. I've used some images and a lot of lines from the ooni website. Is there a standard format to provide credit to ooni devs? Best, Snehan PS: Please forgive my horrible pun on censorship

False positives how to correct?
by Stijn Jonker 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

Hi Talk & Operator lists, First of all apologies for cross posting, I would assume this better firsts the operators list; however that seems such a low volume list, I thought maybe talk would be better. When the ooniprobe app was released for IOS I decided to run it, but the manual triggering made my participation somewhat low. However despite no RPM's being available, I decided to add ooniprobe to my Tor relay as well. It was a little tricky getting it to work with the Tor running. But … [View More]

Reports from UK are currently not being processed
by Arturo Filastò 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Dear Oonitarians, Due to the large volume of reports coming in from the UK, we have as a temporary workaround stopped processing them through our pipeline since 2016-04-28. This is due to the fact that some OONI user in the UK instead of using the standard way of supplying a list of URLs to test (by means of an input file with the -f command line option). Instead they appear to have scripted ooniprobe to run one instance of ooniprobe per URL with (for x in URLS;do ooniprobe blocking/… [View More]

Welcome volunteers!
by Arturo Filastò 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Greetings Oonitarians! Firstly thank you very much for the interest in OONI and for volunteering to be a probe operator. Your support means a lot to us and we would not be able to do this if it weren't for people like you running our software. I believe that to some of you I have given a raspberry pi in person, while others said they will run the software on hardware they will provide. For your raspberry pi folks we are currently finalizing the images and will soon give you instructions on … [View More]
