  • Threat Modeling and Circumvention of Internet Censorship
    Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship David Fifield September 27, 2017 Abstract Research on Internet censorship is hampered by a lack of adequate models of censor behavior, encompassing both censors' current practice and their likely future evolution. Censor models guide the development of circumvention systems, so it is important to get them right. A censor model should be understood not only as a set of capabilities| such as the ability to monitor network traffic—but also as a set of priorities constrained by resource limitations. A circumvention system designed under inadequate assumptions runs the risk of being either easily blocked, or impractical to deploy. My thesis research will be concerned with developing empirically informed censor models and practical, effective circumvention systems to counter them. My goal is to move the field away from seeing the censorship problem as a cat-and-mouse game that affords only incre- mental and temporary advancements. We should instead state the hypotheses and assumptions under which our circumvention designs will work|with the designs being more or less practical depending on how well the hypotheses and assumptions match the behavior of real-world censors. 1 Thesis My research is about Internet censorship and how to make it ineffective. To this end, I am interested in building useful models of real-world censors as they exist today and may exist in the future, for the purpose of building circumvention systems that are not only sound in theory but also effective in practice. 1 2 Scope Internet censorship is an enormous topic. My thesis research is concerned with one important case of it: the border firewall.

  • OSS: Using Online Scanning Services for Censorship Circumvention
    OSS: Using Online Scanning Services for Censorship Circumvention David Fifield1, Gabi Nakibly2, and Dan Boneh1 1 Computer Science Department, Stanford University 2 National EW Research & Simulation Center, Rafael { Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. Abstract. We introduce the concept of a web-based online scanning service, or OSS for short, and show that these OSSes can be covertly used as proxies in a censorship circumvention system. Such proxies are suitable both for short one-time rendezvous messages and bulk bidirectional data transport. We show that OSSes are widely available on the Internet and blocking all of them can be difficult and harmful. We measure the number of round trips and the amount of data that can be pushed through various OSSes and show that we can achieve throughputs of about 100 KB/sec. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach we built a system for censored users to communicate with blocked Tor relays using available OSS providers. We report on its design and performance. 1 Introduction Nowadays many nations regularly filter Internet traffic by blocking news sites, social networking sites, search sites, and even public mail sites like Gmail. The OpenNet Initiative, which tracks public reports of Internet filtering, lists a large number of countries that filter Internet traffic. Over half of the 74 countries tested in 2011 imposed some degree of filtering on the Internet [1]. In response, several proxy systems have emerged to help censored users freely browse the Internet. Most notable among these is Tor [2], which, while originally designed to provide anonymity, has also seen wide use in circumvention.

  • Threat Modeling and Circumvention of Internet Censorship by David Fifield
    Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship By David Fifield A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Professor Deirdre Mulligan Professor Vern Paxson Fall 2017 1 Abstract Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship by David Fifield Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Research on Internet censorship is hampered by poor models of censor behavior. Censor models guide the development of circumvention systems, so it is important to get them right. A censor model should be understood not just as a set of capabilities|such as the ability to monitor network traffic—but as a set of priorities constrained by resource limitations. My research addresses the twin themes of modeling and circumvention. With a grounding in empirical research, I build up an abstract model of the circumvention problem and examine how to adapt it to concrete censorship challenges. I describe the results of experiments on censors that probe their strengths and weaknesses; specifically, on the subject of active probing to discover proxy servers, and on delays in their reaction to changes in circumvention. I present two circumvention designs: domain fronting, which derives its resistance to blocking from the censor's reluctance to block other useful services; and Snowflake, based on quickly changing peer-to-peer proxy servers. I hope to change the perception that the circumvention problem is a cat-and-mouse game that affords only incremental and temporary advancements.

  • Computational Resource Abuse in Web Applications
    Computational Resource Abuse in Web Applications Juan David Parra Rodriguez Dissertation eingereicht an der Fakult¨atf¨ur Informatik und Mathematik der Universit¨at Passau zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften A dissertation submitted to the faculty of computer science and mathematics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of doctor of natural sciences Betreuer: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Joachim Posegga Passau, Germany, April 2019 Abstract Internet browsers include Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to support Web applications that require complex functionality, e.g., to let end users watch videos, make phone calls, and play video games. Meanwhile, many Web applications employ the browser APIs to rely on the user's hardware to execute intensive computation, access the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), use persistent storage, and establish network connections. However, providing access to the system's computational resources, i.e., processing, storage, and networking, through the browser creates an opportunity for attackers to abuse resources. Principally, the problem occurs when an attacker compromises a Web site and includes malicious code to abuse its visitor's computational resources. For example, an attacker can abuse the user's system networking capabilities to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against third parties. What is more, computational resource abuse has not received widespread attention from the Web security community because most of the current specifications are focused on content and session properties such as isolation, confidentiality, and integrity. Our primary goal is to study computational resource abuse and to advance the state of the art by providing a general attacker model, multiple case studies, a thorough anal- ysis of available security mechanisms, and a new detection mechanism.

  • Practical Countermeasures Against Network Censorship
    Practical Countermeasures against Network Censorship by Sergey Frolov B.S.I.T., Lobachevsky State University, 2015 M.S.C.S., University of Colorado, 2017 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Computer Science 2020 Committee Members: Eric Wustrow, Chair Prof. Sangtae Ha Prof. Nolen Scaife Prof. John Black Prof. Eric Keller Dr. David Fifield ii Frolov, Sergey (Ph.D., Computer Science) Practical Countermeasures against Network Censorship Thesis directed by Prof. Eric Wustrow Governments around the world threaten free communication on the Internet by building increasingly complex systems to carry out Network Censorship. Network Censorship undermines citizens’ ability to access websites and services of their preference, damages freedom of the press and self-expression, and threatens public safety, motivating the development of censorship circumvention tools. Inevitably, censors respond by detecting and blocking those tools, using a wide range of techniques including Enumeration Attacks, Deep Packet Inspection, Traffic Fingerprinting, and Active Probing. In this dissertation, I study some of the most common attacks, actually adopted by censors in practice, and propose novel attacks to assist in the development of defenses against them. I describe practical countermeasures against those attacks, which often rely on empiric measurements of real-world data to maximize their efficiency. This dissertation also reports how this work has been successfully deployed to several popular censorship circumvention tools to help censored Internet users break free of the repressive information control. iii Acknowledgements I am thankful to many engineers and researchers from various organizations I had a pleasure to work with, including Google, Tor Project, Psiphon, Lantern, and several universities.
