Measuring HTTP/3 censorship with OONI Probe
by Maria Xynou 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Hello, Last year, the OONI team collaborated with Kathrin Elmenhorst on adding HTTP/3 support to OONI Probe (through our urlgetter research tool) to investigate *HTTP/3 censorship in China, Iran, Kazakhstan, and India*. The results of this research were documented in a research paper that was published by the AMC Internet Measurement Conference: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3487552.3487836 Today, Kathrin (who's now an OTF Information Controls Fellow with OONI) published a blog post which provides a *summary of these research findings* : https://ooni.org/post/2022-http3-measurements-paper/ We discovered that the deployment of HTTP/3 censorship varies significantly between the observed countries and networks. While some censors do not filter HTTP/3 traffic at all and some collaterally block HTTP/3 hosts, we uncovered HTTP/3-targeting censorship in Iran. Read Kathrin's summary of findings to learn more: https://ooni.org/post/2022-http3-measurements-paper/ Best, OONI team.

OONI Monthly Report: December 2021
by Maria Xynou 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Hello, OONI's December 2021 status report is shared below. *# OONI Monthly Report: December 2021* Throughout December 2021, the OONI team worked on the following sprints: * Sprint 53 (1st-5th December 2021) * Sprint 54 (6th-19th December 2021) Our work can be tracked through the various OONI GitHub repositories: https://github.com/ooni Highlights are shared in this report below. *## Published report on Tor blocking in Russia* We published a report documenting the blocking of Tor in Russia based on OONI data. Read the report here: https://ooni.org/post/2021-russia-blocks-tor/ Our report shares OONI data and analysis on the blocking of the Tor network and Tor Project website on some AS networks in Russia. Wired also published a story on Tor blocking in Russia, sharing OONI data and findings: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/russia-block-tor-censorship *## Year in Review: OONI in 2021* In December 2021, we published our annual end-of-year post, "Year in Review: OONI in 2021", which shares: * OONI highlights from 2021 * Exciting OONI activities by community members in 2021 * Upcoming OONI projects in 2022 You can read this post here: https://ooni.org/post/ooni-in-2021/ Warm thanks to our amazing community for making our work possible! We thank every OONI Probe user out there, and we're excited for 2022! *## Published blog post about OONI Probe integration into iThena* iThena (https://root.ithena.net/) is a distributed computation and measurement project based on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform. In December 2021, we published a blog post where we discussed how iThena helped boost OONI censorship measurement coverage worldwide by integrating OONI Probe into their platform. This blog post is available here: https://ooni.org/post/2021-ithena-boosts-ooni-measurement-coverage/ *## Published guest post by The Bachchao Project* In October 2021, we participated in the Bachchao Project’s 2-day event (“India, Let’s Build the List”) where we helped facilitate sessions for communities in India to update the Citizen Lab’s test list for India. In December 2021, we published the Bachchao Project’s guest blog post about the event on the OONI website: https://ooni.org/post/2021-event-india-test-list/ *## OONI Probe Mobile* We released OONI Probe Mobile 3.5.0 for Android ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/releases/tag/v3.5.0) and iOS ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-ios/releases/tag/v3.5.0). This release includes the following improvements: * Automated testing for instant messaging app tests (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Telegram) * Automated testing for circumvention tool tests (Tor, Psiphon, RiseupVPN) * Automated testing requires at least 20% of battery level * OONI Probe CLI updated to 3.13.0 * Bug fixes Following this release, OONI Probe mobile app users can run all OONI Probe tests (excluding the bandwidth-intensive performance tests) automatically on a regular basis. We expect that this will not only help boost OONI measurement coverage further, but it will also be helpful in ensuring that social media apps and circumvention tools (both of which are frequently blocked around the world) are more regularly tested. We started making improvements to how we do testing of the OONI Probe apps by doing integration testing of all components inside of a mono-repo ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1926). We also worked towards addressing OONI Probe technical debt ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1808). *## OONI Probe Web* We now have a working prototype of OONI Probe Web ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-web) that implements the full functionality. Features of OONI Probe Web currently include: * Informed consent onboarding process ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-web/pull/1); * Communication with the check-in API for receiving test-list targets; * Submission of measurements to the testing collector ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1494). Unlike the OONI Probe apps, OONI Probe Web is limited to website testing. The prototype includes a feature that enables users to determine if they would like to limit their testing to a specific number of URLs. *## Integrating tor into OONI Probe* We completed the integration of tor into OONI Probe Mobile and OONI Probe Desktop (https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1867). It is now possible to use go-libtor when it's available. We switch between using go-libtor or searching for the tor binary in the path by using build constraints. The branch that integrates this work is the following: https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/614 We also integrated tor into OONI Probe Desktop ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-desktop/pull/261) and into OONI Probe CLI ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1872, https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1866). *## Expanding censorship measurement methodologies* We released OONI Probe CLI 3.13 ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.13.0) through which users can now run our new DNScheck experiment ( https://github.com/ooni/spec/blob/master/nettests/ts-028-dnscheck.md). This release (along with our 3.13-beta and 3.14-alpha releases made in December 2021) includes a series of other improvements to our experiments and measurement methodologies (https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases), as well as updated dependencies. *## OONI Measurement Aggregation Toolkit (MAT)* We continued to make improvements to the OONI Measurement Aggregation Toolkit (MAT). In particular, we improved the usability of the one-dimensional charts, we fixed a tooltip rendering issue, we resized the panels for the charts and table, we fixed issues with non-measurement-start-day based charts, we fixed the sorting order of the table, and we worked on other UI improvements (https://github.com/ooni/explorer/issues/624). We also added support for displaying the various blocking types (DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP-failure, HTTP-diff) as an axis value in the MAT charts. Improvements to the MAT can be viewed through commits made in the following pull request: https://github.com/ooni/explorer/pull/622 *## OONI backend* In December 2021, we continued to make progress on migrating our backend infrastructure to Clickhouse (https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/371). To this end, we worked on: * Switching more tables over to Clickhouse and improving test coverage; * Implementing Clickhouse in our fastpath data processing pipeline; * Implementing the Clickhouse feeder; * Updating JSONL table in Clickhouse from feeder; * Updating CI to test Clickhouse; * Splitting the platform in tiers; * Adding a deletion flag on the uploader; * Re-importing the JSONL table and rebuilding the fastpath table with the domain column. We also worked on the following backend activities: * Implemented an integrated API/fastpath multi-host dashboard; * Added backend support for Tor Snowflake experiment feature extraction ( https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/372); * Added backend support for extracting Tor Snowflake runtime metrics and exposing them via a new API endpoint (https://github.com/ooni/api/pull/274); * Handled upcoming VM reboots; * Continued to monitor OONI measurement coverage from unattended runs on OONI Probe Mobile and Desktop. *## Established new partnership with Zaina Foundation* In December 2021, we established a new partnership with Tanzania's Zaina Foundation (https://zainafoundationtz.org/). Over the past year, we had already been collaborating with Zaina Foundation, who facilitated OONI training for women human rights defenders in Tanzania, conducted usability studies for OONI Probe and OONI Explorer, and translated OONI Probe to Swahili. We are therefore thrilled to have now formalized our partnership with Zaina Foundation, and we’re excited for our ongoing collaboration over the next few years. To highlight Zaina Foundation’s important work, we published a new page on the OONI Partners page: https://ooni.org/partners/zaina-foundation/ *## OONI website### New Donate page* In December 2021, we published a new Donate page on the OONI website: https://ooni.org/donate/ Through this page, we aim to encourage donations in support of OONI’s work. *### Edited various OONI webpages* We edited and updated the copy of several web pages on the OONI site. In particular, we edited the About page ( https://github.com/ooni/ooni.org/pull/1041), we updated the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section (https://github.com/ooni/ooni.org/pull/1042), and we restructured and edited the Nettests section ( https://github.com/ooni/ooni.org/pull/1043). We also *## Hosting an OTF Information Controls Fellow* As of December 2021, we started to serve as the host organization for Open Technology Fund (OTF) Information Controls research fellow, Gurshabad Grover (https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/1471454369866719237). During his 1-year research fellowship with us, Gurshabad aims to uncover how ISPs, through their technical decisions, can exacerbate or minimize the effects of state-ordered censorship. *## Community activities### PiProbe* Our Venezuelan partners, Venezuela Inteligente, created a new OONI Probe distribution for Raspberry Pis, called “PiProbe” ( https://github.com/VEinteligente/PiProbe). On 15th December 2021, they presented PiProbe to collect feedback from the OONI team and broader community. *## Userbase* In December 2021, 39,609,318 OONI Probe measurements were collected from 2,785 AS networks in 165 countries around the world. This information can also be found through our measurement stats on OONI Explorer (see chart on “monthly coverage worldwide”): https://explorer.ooni.org/ ~ OONI team.

OONI Monthly Report: November 2021
by Maria Xynou 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Hello, OONI's November 2021 status report is shared below. *# OONI Monthly Report: November 2021* Throughout November 2021, the OONI team worked on the following sprints: * Sprint 51 (1st - 7th November 2021) * Sprint 52 (8th - 21st November 2021) Our work can be tracked through the various OONI GitHub repositories: https://github.com/ooni Highlights are shared in this report below. *## Published research report investigating internet shutdowns through Mozilla telemetry* In collaboration with IODA, we published a new research report which analyzes Mozilla telemetry to investigate internet shutdowns in Myanmar, Uganda, Belarus, and Iran over the last year. Our research report is available here: https://ooni.org/post/2021-investigating-internet-shutdowns-mozilla-telemet… Mozilla also published a blog post about our report: https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2021/11/08/detecting-internet-outages-with-mo… The goal of our research was to evaluate whether Mozilla telemetry could be a valuable resource for the Internet freedom community to investigate Internet shutdowns. To this end, we analyzed an aggregated dataset of network activity based on Firefox web browser usage worldwide (access to which was provided to us by Mozilla). To evaluate how useful Mozilla telemetry is for researching Internet shutdowns, we: * Selected case studies (known shutdown events from January 2020 onwards) * Analyzed Mozilla telemetry * Compared Mozilla telemetry with other public datasets We checked whether Mozilla telemetry provides signals for: * Myanmar: Internet outages following February 2021 military coup * Uganda: Nationwide internet outage amid 2021 elections * Belarus: Internet outages amid 2020 elections * Iran: Internet outages following 2020 elections Our detailed findings are documented in our report. Overall, our analysis demonstrates that Mozilla telemetry is a valuable resource for investigating Internet shutdowns worldwide, providing novel insights through geographical data granularity. We encourage Mozilla to publish aggregated Mozilla telemetry as open data to support research and advocacy efforts investigating Internet shutdowns worldwide. We also share further recommendations in our report: https://ooni.org/post/2021-investigating-internet-shutdowns-mozilla-telemet… *## Published blog post on Myanmar research paper findings* A few months ago, the OONI team collaborated with researchers at IODA, Kentik, UC San Diego, and University of Michigan / Censored Planet on a research paper examining censorship events in Myanmar (through diverse measurement datasets) following the military coup. The paper, titled "A multi-perspective view of Internet censorship in Myanmar", was published by FOCI 2021: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3473604.3474562 In November 2021, we published a blog post which summarizes the research paper findings: https://ooni.org/post/2021-multiperspective-view-internet-censorship-myanma… *## Blog post for Internet Society (ISOC)* In November 2021, our partner, Internet Society (ISOC), published our guest blog post where we discuss why collaboration and transparency is key to internet measurement: https://pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/internet-measurements-collaboration-… This blog post was also cross-posted on the OONI blog: https://ooni.org/post/2021-internet-measurements-collaboration-transparency/ *## OONI Probe Mobile* We released OONI Probe Mobile 3.4.0 for Android ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/releases/tag/v3.4.0) and iOS ( https://github.com/ooni/probe-ios/releases/tag/v3.4.0). This release includes the following new features and improvements: * New label indicating when a VPN is being used * Improved UI for requesting autorun permission ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1820) * Logs are retained for 1 week * Bug fix in RiseupVPN and Signal analysis logic We also released OONI Probe Mobile 3.4.1 with further bug fixes and improvements (https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/releases/tag/v3.4.1). Following the release of OONI Probe Mobile 3.4.0, we started to observe an increase in the volume of measurements contributed by automated runs. The new label which indicates the use of a VPN will hopefully also help improve OONI data quality. We also worked on improvements to our build system for OONI Probe so that it can be further automated through continuous integration. In particular, we added support to build the Android and iOS dependencies as part of continuous integration. *### Interviewed mobile developer candidates* In September 2021, we published a job opening to hire a new mobile developer for OONI Probe ( https://ooni.org/post/2021-job-opening-ooni-mobile-developer/). We reviewed applications and throughout November 2021, we interviewed candidates. ## OONI Run Based on community feedback, we made improvements to the OONI Run ( https://run.ooni.io/) platform. Specifically, we rewrote the URL editor ( https://github.com/ooni/run/pull/74), we limited the OONI Run platform to website testing (https://github.com/ooni/run/pull/79), and we deployed the changes to production. *## Integrating tor into OONI Probe* We made progress on integrating tor into OONI Probe Mobile and OONI Probe Desktop. In particular, we worked on adding support for building go-libtor on Android, iOS, and Linux: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1867 *## Expanding censorship measurement methodologies* Two essential steps required for shipping our new Websteps experiment (for measuring the blocking of websites) include: * Comparing our new Websteps experiment with our current Web Connectivity experiment; * Deploying the new Websteps test helper in production. In November 2021, we made considerable progress on both. To compare Websteps with Web Connectivity, we developed test cases to measure accuracy and to compare the two experiments in terms of bandwidth used, overall test runtime, and accuracy at detecting blocking events ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1805). We also worked on polishing the Websteps design documents and we shared them with community members who have relevant expertise, in order to receive their feedback for the improvement of our new experiment (https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1811). We worked towards deploying and using the new Websteps test helper ( https://github.com/ooni/backend/issues/544). We started off with an incremental rollout where only a few ASNs use the new test helper, and we eventually plan to replace the old test helper. We continued to investigate TLS parroting and interference ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1812), and we made several OONI Probe CLI releases which include a series of improvements to our experiments (improving the data quality of measurements), as documented through the following releases: https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.11.0-beta.2 https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.12.0-alpha.3 https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.12.0-alpha.2 https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.11.0-beta.1 https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/tag/v3.12.0-alpha.1 *## OONI Explorer* We added support to the OONI Explorer Search page for filtering based on failed measurements (https://github.com/ooni/explorer/pull/623). We also worked towards making OONI Explorer easier to debug (to improve the quality of OONI Explorer, and to make the MAT easier to debug) by improving how we log and report errors in OONI Explorer. *## OONI Measurement Aggregation Toolkit (MAT)* We continued to make improvements to the OONI Measurement Aggregation Toolkit (MAT). We measured the performance of the MAT UI components to identify bottlenecks. We worked on improving the interactivity and filtering of the table chart, we fixed the presentation of the horizontal axis of the chart, we worked on improvements to one-dimensional charts, and we worked towards making measurable performance improvements to the two-dimensional (2-axis) chart pages with large datasets ( https://github.com/ooni/explorer/pull/622). *## Building a web platform for test list updates* We continued to make progress on the web platform ( https://test-lists.ooni.org/) that we’re building to enable community contributions to the Citizen Lab test lists ( https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists). In particular, we made improvements to display the contributor and the date of when a URL was last updated in the list view ( https://github.com/ooni/test-lists-ui/pull/15), we added a notifications feature (https://github.com/ooni/test-lists-ui/pull/16) and a favicon ( https://github.com/ooni/test-lists-ui/pull/17), and we fixed a backend bug affecting the platform’s submit button ( https://github.com/ooni/backend/issues/545). *## OONI backend* In November 2021, we started migrating our infrastructure over to Clickhouse (an alternative database solution). To this end, we reviewed the architecture by: * Implementing Clickhouse in our fastpath data processing pipeline; * Switching the fasthpath and API CI to bullseye; * Implemented the experimental Measurement Aggregation Toolkit (MAT) using Clickhouse, and added relevant tests; * Implemented the experimental PG to the Clickhouse feeder; * Updating the CI to test Clickhouse; * Determining what to keep in PG (failure modes and recovery); * Preparing an architecture diagram; * Splitting the platform in tiers; * Using raw SQL or SQLalchemy; * Implementing an experimental PG to the Clickhouse feeder; * Performing tests by using Clickhouse for the measurements API; * Handling JSONL. We also worked on the following backend activities: * Reviewed the new monitoring host, and removed the old host; * Handled unplanned and upcoming VM reboots; * Investigated an issue affecting the timing of measurements (probe clock issues); * Fixed a bug resulting in probe failures ( https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1328); * Started reviewing and cleaning up DNS records used by OONI; * Tested switching some ASNs to the new test helper; * Experimented with centralized logging management; * Continued to monitor OONI measurement coverage from unattended runs on OONI Probe Mobile and Desktop (particularly in light of the recent iThena integration of OONI Probe). *## Collaboration with Netalitica* Netalitica researchers continued to do excellent work in reviewing and updating the Citizen Lab test lists. In November 2021, we reviewed their updates to the test lists for Nicaragua and Ecuador and shared feedback for improvements. *## Test list updates* In November 2021, we contributed minor updates to the following Citizen Lab test lists: * Egypt: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/863 * Global: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/862 We also opened a pull request with updates to the test list for India ( https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/864), contributed by participants of the Bachchao Project’s 2-day test list event ( https://ooni.org/post/2021-event-india-test-list/). *## Notable community use of OONI Probe and OONI data### OONI Probe integrated into Murakami* In November 2021, Measurement Lab (M-Lab) integrated OONI Probe into their Murakami measurement tool (https://www.measurementlab.net/blog/murakami/). This is documented through the following pull request: https://github.com/m-lab/murakami/pull/103 We thank M-Lab for integrating OONI Probe into Murakami, as this will help boost OONI measurement coverage! *### VEsinFiltro report on censorship during 2021 regional elections in Venezuela* In November 2021, VEsinFiltro published a report documenting the blocking of independent news media websites, political criticism sites, human rights sites, multimedia dissemination sites, and circumvention tool sites during the 2021 regional elections in Venezuela. Their report makes use of OONI data, among other data sources. VEsinFiltro’s report is available in: * English: https://vesinfiltro.com/noticias/2021-election-blocks/ * Spanish: https://vesinfiltro.com/noticias/2021-bloqueos-elecciones/ *## Community activities### OONI presentation at ISOC Community Week 2021* On 16th November 2021, OONI’s Maria presented OONI as part of the Internet Society’s (ISOC) Community Week event. Information about the ISOC Community Week 2021 is available here: https://www.internetsociety.org/events/community-week/ *### OONI presentation at Tor’s State of the Onion 2021* On 17th November 2021, OONI’s Arturo presented OONI as part of the Tor Project’s annual State of the Onion 2021 event ( https://blog.torproject.org/state-of-the-onion-2021), during which he shared OONI highlights from 2021, as well as upcoming OONI projects for 2022. The event was live-streamed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNhIjtXuVzk *## OONI training for civil society in the Gambia* On 29th November 2021, OONI’s Maria facilitated an (online) OONI training for human rights defenders in the Gambia in preparation for the country’s 2021 elections. *### OONI Community Meeting* On 30th November 2021, we hosted the monthly OONI Community Meeting on our Slack channel (https://slack.ooni.org/), during which we discussed the following topics: 1. OONI research reports published in November 2021. 2. Iranian government is using a new type of regional Internet censorship during protests which blocks International internet access (except few services) but allows local websites and services. It would be nice if an OONI test could be developed to detect & log this scenario and submit the result to OONI once the international connectivity is fully restored. This is tracked through the following epic: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1600 *## Userbase* In November 2021, 31,393,906 OONI Probe measurements were collected from 2,276 AS networks in 157 countries around the world. This information can also be found through our measurement stats on OONI Explorer (see chart on “monthly coverage worldwide”): https://explorer.ooni.org/ ~ OONI team.
