    Anonymizing 1 Your Activities In our daily lives we like to have a certain level of privacy. We have curtains on our win- dows, doors for our offices, and even special screen protectors for computers to keep out prying eyes. This idea of wanting privacy also extends to the use of the Internet. We do not want people knowing what we typed in Google, what we said in our Instant Message conversations, or what websites we visited. Unfortunately, your private information is largely available if someone is watching. When doing any number of things on the Internet, there are plenty of reasons you might want to go incognito. However, that does not mean you’re doing anything wrong or illegal. he justification for anonymity when researching malware and bad guys is pretty Tstraightforward. You do not want information to show up in logs and other records that might tie back to you or your organization. For example, let’s say you work at a finan- cial firm and you recently detected that a banking trojan infected several of your systems. You collected malicious domain names, IP addresses, and other data related to the malware. The next steps you take in your research may lead you to websites owned by the criminals. As a result, if you are not taking precautions to stay anonymous, your IP address will show up in various logs and be visible to miscreants. If the criminals can identify you or the organization from which you conduct your research, they may COPYRIGHTEDchange tactics or go into hiding, MATERIAL thus spoiling your investigation.

  • Design of a Blocking-Resistant Anonymity System DRAFT
    Design of a blocking-resistant anonymity system DRAFT Roger Dingledine Nick Mathewson The Tor Project The Tor Project [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Internet censorship is on the rise as websites around the world are increasingly blocked by government-level firewalls. Although popular anonymizing networks like Tor were originally designed to keep attackers from tracing people’s activities, many people are also using them to evade local censorship. But if the censor simply denies access to the Tor network itself, blocked users can no longer benefit from the security Tor offers. Here we describe a design that builds upon the current Tor network to provide an anonymiz- ing network that resists blocking by government-level attackers. 1 Introduction and Goals Anonymizing networks like Tor [11] bounce traffic around a network of encrypting relays. Unlike encryption, which hides only what is said, these networks also aim to hide who is communicat- ing with whom, which users are using which websites, and similar relations. These systems have a broad range of users, including ordinary citizens who want to avoid being profiled for targeted advertisements, corporations who don’t want to reveal information to their competitors, and law en- forcement and government intelligence agencies who need to do operations on the Internet without being noticed. Historical anonymity research has focused on an attacker who monitors the user (call her Alice) and tries to discover her activities, yet lets her reach any piece of the network. In more modern threat models such as Tor’s, the adversary is allowed to perform active attacks such as modifying communications to trick Alice into revealing her destination, or intercepting some connections to run a man-in-the-middle attack.

  • Everyone's Guide to Bypassing Internet Censorship
    EVERYONE’S GUIDE TO BY-PASSING INTERNET CENSORSHIP FOR CITIZENS WORLDWIDE A CIVISEC PROJECT The Citizen Lab The University of Toronto September, 2007 cover illustration by Jane Gowan Glossary page 4 Introduction page 5 Choosing Circumvention page 8 User self-assessment Provider self-assessment Technology page 17 Web-based Circumvention Systems Tunneling Software Anonymous Communications Systems Tricks of the trade page 28 Things to remember page 29 Further reading page 29 Circumvention Technologies Circumvention technologies are any tools, software, or methods used to bypass Inter- net filtering. These can range from complex computer programs to relatively simple manual steps, such as accessing a banned website stored on a search engine’s cache, instead of trying to access it directly. Circumvention Providers Circumvention providers install software on a computer in a non-filtered location and make connections to this computer available to those who access the Internet from a censored location. Circumvention providers can range from large commercial organi- zations offering circumvention services for a fee to individuals providing circumven- tion services for free. Circumvention Users Circumvention users are individuals who use circumvention technologies to bypass Internet content filtering. 4 Internet censorship, or content filtering, has become a major global problem. Whereas once it was assumed that states could not control Internet communications, according to research by the OpenNet Initiative (http://opennet.net) more than 25 countries now engage in Internet censorship practices. Those with the most pervasive filtering policies have been found to routinely block access to human rights organi- zations, news, blogs, and web services that challenge the status quo or are deemed threatening or undesirable.

  • Promoting Global Internet Freedom: Government and Industry Initiatives
    Promoting Global Internet Freedom: Government and Industry Initiatives (name redacted) Specialist in Internet and Telecommunications Policy June 1, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R41837 Promoting Global Internet Freedom: Government and Industry Initiatives Summary Modern communication tools such as the Internet provide a relatively inexpensive, accessible, easy-entry means of sharing ideas, information, and pictures around the world. In a political and human rights context, in closed societies when the more established, formal news media is denied access to or does not report on specified news events, the Internet has become an alternative source of media, and sometimes a means to organize politically. The openness and the freedom of expression allowed through social networking sites, as well as the blogs, video sharing sites, and other tools of today’s communications technology, have proven to be an unprecedented and often disruptive force in some closed societies. Governments that seek to maintain their authority and control the ideas and information their citizens receive are often caught in a dilemma: they feel that they need access to the Internet to participate in commerce in the global market and for economic growth and technological development, but fear that allowing open access to the Internet potentially weakens their control over their citizens. Internet freedom can be promoted in two ways, through legislation that mandates or prohibits certain activities, or through industry self-regulation. Past legislation has been aimed at prohibiting or requiring the reporting of the sale of Internet technologies and provision of Internet services to “Internet-restricting countries” (as determined by the State Department).
