Technical workshop 3
THE third and final day of the conference is devoted to learning tools and mechanisms for protecting Asian cyberspace. Nart Villeneuve of the Toronto-based Citizen Lab and Ethan Zuckerman of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School are currently handling the day-long technical sessions on two levels:
- first, knowing if you’re being blocked, censored or monitored, and
- second, knowing the Web tools for anonymizing and getting around blocking, filtering and monitoring
Their presentation can be accessed here. Or listen to the first half of the presentation: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Great talk. Here are some links to the sites that Ethan and Nart talked about:

[...] The University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab has just released an open source application which allows users from countries where there is Internet censorship to utilize anonymous servers located worldwide. The system is a far improvement from the over burdened anonymity software called TOR. When I was in Manila for the Free Expression in Asia Cyberspace meeting back in April Nart Villeneuve, had conducted a technical workshop where he shed light on the latest developments in this regard where at that time it was in alpha stage of development, psiphon went into beta release in July and finally on December 1st entered its public release after aggressive testing throughout the world.
