Overview

This tool aims to provide a simple, usable tool to aid in the task of identifying, analyzing and sharing Internet filtering and surveillance mechanisms. By making such a tool available as an open source, easily shareable mobile software application, we hope to (eventually) develop a comprehensive understanding of Internet censorship across key regions via mobile data (3G, GPRS, etc.) and wifi / traditional ISP connections.
