Technical Analysis on Internet Access, Performance, and GSM Security Tools the team used to identify filtering and performance data: Overview of Test Results - OONIprobe - Used to identify network interference between two points online,26 - TCP Traceroute - Able to determine the way data travels through the Internet,27 - Netalyzr - Provides analysis on various properties of a user's Internet connection including blocking of important services,28 - Speedtest.net - Capable of measuring the capacity of an Internet link,29 - GSM Map Project - Passively determines the security and safety of GSM networks,30 and - Manual browsing of standard expected-to-beblocked sites. Network Openness Netalyzr tests run from the Royal Kumudra Hotel, Naypyidaw, showed blocked services that have commonly been reported censored.31 This could have been because of restrictive settings maintained by the hotel or the hotel’s Internet Service Provider. Interestingly, the same tests at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology did not show any signs of blocked services. Censorship tests on mobile networks revealed distinct and unique censored web pages, primarily focused on pornography. Pornography website censorship was confirmed by the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology. 26 See https://ooni.torproject.org See http://michael.toren.net/code/tcptraceroute See http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu 29 See http://speedtest.net. Note, while http://measurementlab.net tools are preferred, the lack of local servers made them impossible to use in this region. Note also that, as above, local reports question the provisioning of the test server, which means the results could be off by unknown margins. As a comparative metric, however, these are helpful. 30 See http://gsmmap.org/ 31 See Netalyzr results, http://n3.netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/summary/id=ae81b058-31576-4cb1593c-8b2b-44da-90fe 27 28 10
