  • “Global Network Interference Detection over the RIPE Atlas Network” de Collin Anderson, Philipp Winter et Roya

    Existing censorship measurement platforms frequently suffer from poor
    adoption, insufficient geographic coverage, and scalability
    problems. In order to outline an analytical framework and data
    collection needs for future ubiquitous measurements initiatives, we
    build on top of the existent and widely-deployed RIPE Atlas platform.
    In particular, we propose methods for monitoring the reachability of
    vital services through an algorithm that balances timeliness,
    diversity, and cost. We then use Atlas to investigate blocking
    events in Turkey and Russia. Our measurements identify under-examined
    forms of interference and provide evidence of cooperation between a
    well-known blogging platform and government authorities for purposes
    of blocking hosted content.
