-"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
-                - John Gilmore; TIME magazine (6 December 1993)
-
-OONI, the Open Observatory of Network Interference, is a global observation
-network which aims is to collect high quality data using open methodologies,
-using Free and Open Source Software (FL/OSS) to share observations and data
-about the various types, methods, and amounts of network tampering in the
-world.
-
-ooniprobe is the first program that users run to probe their network and to
-collect data for the OONI project. Are you interested in testing your network
-for signs of surveillance and censorship? Do you want to collect data to share
-with others, so that you and others may better understand your network? If so,
-please read this document and we hope ooniprobe will help you to gather
-network data that will assist you with your endeavors!
-
-Read this before running ooniprobe!
------------------------------------
-
-Running ooniprobe is a potentially risky activity. This greatly depends on the
-jurisdiction in which you are in and which test you are running. It is
-technically possible for a person observing your internet connection to be
-aware of the fact that you are running ooniprobe. This means that if running
-network measurement tests is something considered to be illegal in your country
-then you could be spotted.
-
-Futhermore, ooniprobe takes no precautions to protect the install target machine
-from forensics analysis.  If the fact that you have installed or used ooni
-probe is a liability for you, please be aware of this risk.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-Debian based systems
---------------------
-
-Run this::
-
-    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.ooni.nu/ooni wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
-    gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0x49B8CDF4
-    gpg --export 89AB86D4788F3785FE9EDA31F9E2D9B049B8CDF4 | sudo apt-key add -
-    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ooniprobe
-
-Linux
------
-
-We believe that ooniprobe runs reasonably well on Debian GNU/Linux wheezy as
-well as versions of Ubuntu such as natty and later releases. Running ooniprobe
-without installing it is supported with the following commands::
-
-    git clone https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git
-    cd ooni-probe
-    ./setup-dependencies.sh
-    python setup.py install
-
-Setting up development environment
-----------------------------------
-
-On debian based systems this can be done with::
-
-    sudo apt-get install libgeoip-dev python-virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
-    mkvirtualenv ooniprobe
-    python setup.py install
-    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
-
-Other platforms (with Vagrant)
-------------------------------
-
-0) [Install Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) and [Install Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
-
-0.1)
-
-On OSX:
-
-If you don't have it install homebrew http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/::
-
-    brew install git
-
-On debian/ubuntu::
-
-    sudo apt-get install git
-
-1) Open a Terminal and run::
-
-    git clone https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git
-    cd ooni-probe/
-    vagrant up
-
-2) Login to the box with::
-
-    vagrant ssh
-
-ooniprobe will be installed in ``/ooni``.
-
-3) You can run tests with::
-
-    ooniprobe blocking/http_requests -f /ooni/example_inputs/alexa-top-1k.txt
-
-Using ooniprobe
-===============
-
-**Net test** is a set of measurements to assess what kind of internet censorship is occurring.
-
-**Decks** are collections of ooniprobe nettests with some associated inputs.
-
-**Collector** is a service used to report the results of measurements.
-
-**Test helper** is a service used by a probe for successfully performing its measurements.
-
-**Bouncer** is a service used to discover the addresses of test helpers and collectors.
-
-### Configuring ooniprobe
-
-You may edit the configuration for ooniprobe by editing the configuration file
-found inside of ``~/.ooni/ooniprobe.conf``.
-
-By default ooniprobe will not include personal identifying information in the
-test result, nor create a pcap file. This behavior can be personalized.
-
-Running decks
--------------
-
-You will find all the installed decks inside of ``/usr/share/ooni/decks``.
-
-You may then run a deck by using the command line option ``-i``:
-
-As root::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/mlab.deck
-
-
-Or as a user::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/mlab_no_root.deck
-
-
-Or:
-
-As root::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/complete.deck
-
-
-Or as a user::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/complete_no_root.deck
-
-
-The above tests will require around 20-30 minutes to complete depending on your network speed.
-
-If you would prefer to run some faster tests you should run:
-As root::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/fast.deck
-
-
-Or as a user::
-
-    ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/fast_no_root.deck
-
-
-Running net tests
------------------
-
-You may list all the installed stable net tests with::
-
-
-    ooniprobe -s
-
-
-You may then run a nettest by specifying its name for example::
-
-
-    ooniprobe manipulation/http_header_field_manipulation
-
-
-It is also possible to specify inputs to tests as URLs::
-
-
-    ooniprobe blocking/http_requests -f httpo://ihiderha53f36lsd.onion/input/37e60e13536f6afe47a830bfb6b371b5cf65da66d7ad65137344679b24fdccd1
-
-
-You can find the result of the test in your current working directory.
-
-By default the report result will be collected by the default ooni collector
-and the addresses of test helpers will be obtained from the default bouncer.
-
-You may also specify your own collector or bouncer with the options ``-c`` and
-``-b``.
-
-
-Bridges and obfsproxy bridges
-=============================
-
-ooniprobe submits reports to oonib report collectors through Tor to a hidden
-service endpoint. By default, ooniprobe uses the installed system Tor, but can
-also be configured to launch Tor (see the advanced.start_tor option in
-ooniprobe.conf), and ooniprobe supports bridges (and obfsproxy bridges, if
-obfsproxy is installed). The tor.bridges option in ooniprobe.conf sets the path
-to a file that should contain a set of "bridge" lines (of the same format as
-used in torrc, and as returned by https://bridges.torproject.org). If obfsproxy
-bridges are to be used, the path to the obfsproxy binary must be configured.
-See option advanced.obfsproxy_binary, in ooniprobe.conf.
-
-(Optional) Install obfsproxy
-----------------------------
-
-Install the latest version of obfsproxy for your platform.
-
-[Download Obfsproxy](https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en)
-
-Setting capabilities on your virtualenv python binary
-=====================================================
-
-If your distributation supports capabilities you can avoid needing to run OONI as root::
-
-
-    setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip /path/to/your/virtualenv's/python
-
-
-
-Reporting bugs
-==============
-
-You can report bugs and issues you find with ooni-probe on The Tor Projec issue
-tracker [filing them under the "Ooni" component](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/newticket?component=Ooni).
-
-You can either register an account or use the group account "cypherpunks" with
-password "writecode".
-
-Contributing
-============
-
-You can download the code for ooniprobe from the following git repository::
-
-
-    git clone https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git
-
-
-It is also viewable on the web via [https://gitweb.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git](https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git).
-
-You should then submit patches for review as pull requests to this github repository: 
-
-https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe
-
-Read this article to learn how to [create a pull request on github](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request).
-
-If you prefer not to use github (or don't have an account), you may also submit
-patches as attachments to tickets.
-
-Be sure to format the patch (given that you are working on a feature branch
-that is different from master) with::
-
-
-    git format-patch master --stdout > my_first_ooniprobe.patch
-
