TOR TAILS: ONLINE ANONYMITY AND SECURITY TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL By David Toddington, CEO, Toddington International The Internet connection at our home had been running slowly for some weeks and after a final round of basic analysis of our WiFi network, it was time to contact my ISP’s technical support department to get to the root of the problem. After an acceptable hold time and a quick chat with a 4 of 18 2015-05-21, 3:21 PM TII Internet Intelligence Newsletter - November 2013 Edition http://us7.campaign-archive1.com/?u=1e8eea4e4724fcca7714ef623... patient but somewhat bored sounding tech support representative, I was requested to visit a specific web site to check my upload and download speeds. Feeling I knew a better site for the job than the one he suggested, I deviated and instead pointed my browser to a different speed test site. “No, that’s not the site I told you to visit” said the tech support rep only a second or two after I hit my keyboard’s Enter key, “but it’s still a good site, what does it say?”. I told him my connection speeds. “How about this site?” I said to the support rep as I pointed my browser to to www.speedof.me without telling him where I was going. “Oh cool” came the reply, “I’ve never seen that site before. I think I’ll start using it”. And with that, I was reminded that certainly at my Internet Service Provider, even the lowliest front line support person could look at my Internet connection and see exactly what web sites I was visiting in real time. Are You Being Watched? In terms of network surveillance, my contact with the technical support representative at my ISP demonstrated just how easy it could be for even a low level network administrator to track the online movements of any users under their control. For those of us who care about privacy however, this issue goes far beyond the trust we give to the administrators who maintain the networks we use to connect to the Internet: keep in mind when using an insecure wireless network (such as those free connections available at coffee shops and in hotel lobbies) that there are a variety of freely available network protocol analysis tools available that if configured correctly, could enable anyone in the immediate area to be inspecting your WiFi traffic, and possibly seeing exactly what you are doing online.

O Presidente do Júri, Porto, ______/______/_________ Thanks to all my friends throughout all these years who have done their part to make me who I am. Thanks to my family, for always being there. Thanks to my supervisors, Professor Rui Prior and Professor Sérgio Crisóstomo, for giving me the opportunity to work with them and to learn from them. Obrigado, Muchas gracias, Merci Bien, Tudo é Kanimambo (João Maria Tudela) i ii Abstract Over the last two decades, we have seen an exponential growth in the use of mobile phones. This growth was accompanied by a change in their usage pattern — the access to data services has overtaken voice calling, which was the almost exclusive use of mobile phones. It was also accompanied by a change in the devices themselves, with the market shifting to smartphones. The selection of a mobile service provider can be difficult for the end users, given the lack of unambiguous, accurate and independent information on coverage and quality of the wireless access, including voice and data, with every provider claiming their particular signal quality, network speed and/or pricing is the best. This motivated us to develop a service for measuring mobile network parameters using Android smartphones, and display the data, adequately processed, to the users in a mapping application.

    Appendix I: Search Quality and Economies of Scale

    Appendix I: search quality and economies of scale Introduction 1. This appendix presents some detailed evidence concerning how general search engines compete on quality. It also examines network effects, scale economies and other barriers to search engines competing effectively on quality and other dimensions of competition. 2. This appendix draws on academic literature, submissions and internal documents from market participants. Comparing quality across search engines 3. As set out in Chapter 3, the main way that search engines compete for consumers is through various dimensions of quality, including relevance of results, privacy and trust, and social purpose or rewards.1 Of these dimensions, the relevance of search results is generally considered to be the most important. 4. In this section, we present consumer research and other evidence regarding how search engines compare on the quality and relevance of search results. Evidence on quality from consumer research 5. We reviewed a range of consumer research produced or commissioned by Google or Bing, to understand how consumers perceive the quality of these and other search engines. The following evidence concerns consumers’ overall quality judgements and preferences for particular search engines: 6. Google submitted the results of its Information Satisfaction tests. Google’s Information Satisfaction tests are quality comparisons that it carries out in the normal course of its business. In these tests, human raters score unbranded search results from mobile devices for a random set of queries from Google’s search logs. • Google submitted the results of 98 tests from the US between 2017 and 2020. Google outscored Bing in each test; the gap stood at 8.1 percentage points in the most recent test and 7.3 percentage points on average over the period.
  • The Digital Markets Act: European Precautionary Antitrust

    The Digital Markets Act: European Precautionary Antitrust

    The Digital Markets Act: European Precautionary Antitrust AURELIEN PORTUESE | MAY 2021 The European Commission has set out to ensure digital markets are “fair and contestable.” But in a paradigm shift for antitrust enforcement, its proposal would impose special regulations on a narrowly dened set of “gatekeepers.” Contrary to its intent, this will deter innovation—and hold back small and medium-sized rms—to the detriment of the economy. KEY TAKEAWAYS ▪ The Digital Markets Act (DMA) arbitrarily distinguishes digital from non-digital markets, even though digital distribution is just one of many ways rms reach end users. It should assess competition comprehensively instead of discriminating. ▪ The DMA’s nebulous concept of a digital “gatekeeper” entrenches large digital rms and discourages them from innovating to compete, and it creates a threshold effect for small and mid-sized rms, because it deters successful expansion. ▪ This represents a paradigm shift from ex post antitrust enforcement toward ex ante regulatory compliance—albeit for a narrowly selected set of companies—and a seminal victory for the precautionary principle over innovation. ▪ By distorting innovation incentives instead of enhancing them, the DMA’s model of “precautionary antitrust” threatens the vitality, dynamism, and competitive fairness of Europe’s economy to the detriment of consumers and rms of all sizes. ▪ Given its fundamental aws, the DMA can only be improved at the margins. The rst steps should be leveling the playing eld with reforms that apply to all rms, not just “digital” markets, and eliminating the nebulous “gatekeeper” concept. ▪ Authorities in charge of market-investigation rules need to be separated from antitrust enforcers; they need guidance and capacity for evidence-based fact-nding; and they should analyze competition issues dynamically, focusing on the long term.

    Written Statement for the Record by Megan Gray, General Counsel And

    Written Statement for the Record by Megan Gray, General Counsel and Policy Advocate for DuckDuckGo for a hearing entitled "Online Platforms and Market Power, Part 2: Innovation and Entrepreneurship" before The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law Rep. David Cicilline, Chair Rep. James Sensenbrenner, Ranking Member Tuesday, July 16, 2019 DuckDuckGo is a privacy technology company that helps consumers stay more private online. DuckDuckGo has been competing in the U.S. search market for over a decade, and it is currently the 4th largest search engine in this market (see market share section below). From the vantage point of a company vigorously trying to compete, DuckDuckGo can hopefully provide useful background on the U.S. search market. Features of Competitive General Search Engines A competitive U.S. general search engine in 2019 must have a set of high-quality search features, and ensure none are substandard or shown at the wrong times. This set of mandatory high-quality search features includes: An up-to-date index of most all of the English web pages on the Internet (referred to as “organic links”) Maps Local business answers (e.g., restaurant addresses and phone numbers) News Images Videos Products/shopping Definitions Wikipedia reference Quick answers (calculator, conversions, etc.) Additional niche features may also be necessary to be competitive with particular consumer segments, such as: Up-to-date indexes of web pages in other languages Sports scores Airplane flight information Question/Answer reference (e.g., for computer programming) Lyrics When DuckDuckGo launched in 2008, this list was much smaller, and arguably just one item was a required feature: organic links (sometimes referred to as “the ten blue links”).

Even though many studies have been conducted on the retrieval effectiveness of Web search engines for Web users, few of them have evaluated them as research tools. In this study we analyse the currently available search engines and evaluate the suitability and accuracy of the hit counts they provide as estimators of the frequency/probability of textual entities. From the results of this study, we identify the search engines best suited to be used in linguistic research. © 20162016 TheThe Authors. Authors. Published Published by by Elsevier Elsevier B.V. B.V.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020

    OSINT Handbook September 2020

    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
