Communicate if Your Government Shuts Off Your Internet

Scenario: Your government is displeased with the communication going on in your location and pulls the plug on your internet access, most likely by telling the major ISPs to turn off service.
This is what happened in Egypt Jan. 25 prompted by citizen protests, with sources estimating that the Egyptian government cut off approximately 88 percent of the country's internet access. What do you do without internet? Step 1: Stop crying in the corner. Then start taking steps to reconnect with your network. Here’s a list of things you can do to keep the communication flowing.

Make your network tangible

Print out your contact list, so your phone numbers aren’t stuck in the cloud. Some mail services like Gmail allow you to export your online contact list in formats that are more conducive to paper, such as CSV or Vcard, and offer step-by-step guides on how to do this.
Broadcast on the radio

CB Radio: Short for "Citizens Band" radio, these two-way radios allow communication over short distances on 40 channels. You can pick one up for about $20 to $50 at Radio Shack, and no license is required to operate it.
Ham radio: To converse over these radios, also known as "amateur radios," you have to obtain an operator's license from the FCC. Luckily, other Wired How-To contributors have already explained exactly what you need to do to get one and use it like a pro. However, if the President declares a State of Emergency, use of the radio could be extremely restricted or prohibited.
GMRS: The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed land-mobile FM UHF radio service in the United States available for short-distance two-way communication. It is intended for use by an adult individual who possesses a valid GMRS license, as well as his or her immediate family members... They are more expensive than the walkie talkies typically found in discount electronics stores, but are higher quality.
Family Radio Service: The Family Radio Service (FRS) is an improved walkie talkie radio system authorized in the United States since 1996. This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band. It does not suffer the interference effects found on citizens' band (CB) at 27 MHz, or the 49 MHz band also used by cordless phones, toys, and baby monitors.
Microbroadcasting: Microbroadcasting is the process of broadcasting a message to a relatively small audience. This is not to be confused with low-power broadcasting. In radio terms, it is the use of low-power transmitters to broadcast a radio signal over the space of a neighborhood or small town. Similarly to pirate radio, microbroadcasters generally operate without a license from the local regulation body, but sacrifice range in favor of using legal power limits.
Packet Radio Back to the '90s: There do exist shortwave packet-radio modems. These are also excruciatingly slow, but may get your e-mail out. Like ham radio above it requires a ham radio license because they operate on ham radio frequencies.
Phone

Set up a phone tree: According to the American Association of University Women, a phone tree is "a prearranged, pyramid-shaped system for activating a group of people by telephone" that can "spread a brief message quickly and efficiently to a large number of people." Dig out that contact list you printed out and follow the steps on the AAUW website to spread the message down your pyramid of contacts.
Enable Twitter via SMS: Though the thought of unleashing the Twitter fire hose in your text message inbox may seem horrifying, it would be better than not being able to connect to the outside world at all. The Twitter website has full instructions on how to redirect tweets to your phone.
Call to Tweet: A small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company Google acquired recently, made this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to the Twitter account, speak2tweet.
Alex Jones and infowars.com have a telephone number for people to listen to his radio show by phone, in case the internet goes down, or if you don't have internet. The phone in listen line is 512-646-5000.
Fax

If you need to quickly send and receive documents with lengthy or complex instructions, phone conversations may result in misunderstandings, and delivering the doc by foot would take forever. Brush the dust off that bulky old machine, establish a connection by phone first with the recipient to make sure his machine is hooked up, then fax away.
You may not need a fax machine to send or receive faxes if your computer has a dial-up fax application.
Non-Virtual Bulletin Board

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the virtual world that we forget about resources available in the real world. Physical bulletin boards have been used for centuries to disseminate information and don't require electricity to function. If you are fortunate enough to be getting information from some other source why not share it with your friends and neighbors with your own bulletin board? Cork, magnetic and marker bulletin boards are as close as your nearest dime store and can be mounted just about anywhere. And if push comes to shove you can easily make your own with scrap wood lying around the house.
Getting back online

While it might be relatively easy for a government to cut connections by leveraging the major ISPs, there are some places they wouldn't get to so readily, like privately-owned networks and independent ISPs.
Find the privately-run ISPs

In densely populated areas, especially in central business districts and city suburbs there are multiple home WiFi networks overlapping each other, some secure, some not. If there is no internet, open up your WiFi by removing password protection: If enough people do this it's feasible to create a totally private WiFi service outside government control covering the CBD, and you can use applications that run Bonjour (iChat on Mac for example) to communicate with others on the open network and send and receive documents. **needs more clarification
If you are a private ISP, it's your time to shine. Consider allowing open access to your Wi-Fi routers to facilitate communication of people around you until the grid is back online.
Return to dial-up

According to an article in the BBC about old tech's role in the Egyptian protests, "Dial-up modems are one of the most popular routes for Egyptians to get back online. Long lists of international numbers that connect to dial-up modems are circulating in Egypt thanks to net activists We Re-Build, Telecomix and others."
Dial-up can be slow. Often, there is a lightweight mobile version of a site that you can load from your desktop browser quickly despite the limitations of dial-up. Examples: mobile.twitter.com, m.facebook.com, m.gmail.com.
Ad-Hoc Networking

Most wireless routers, PCs, laptops, and even some ultramobile devices like cellphones have the ability to become part of an "ad hoc" network, where different "nodes" (all of the devices on the network) share the responsibility of transmitting data with one another. These networks can become quite large, and are often very easy to set up. If used properly by a tech-savvy person, such networks can be used to host temporary websites and chat rooms. There are many internet tutorials on the internet for ad hoc networking, so feel free to google some.
Apple computers tend to have very accessible ad hoc functionality built in, including a pre-installed chat client (iChat) that will automatically set up an ad hoc "Rendezvous" chatroom among anybody on the network, without the need for an external service like AIM or Skype. Ad hoc network-hosting functionality is built in to the Wi-Fi menu.
Windows computers have several third-party ad hoc chat applications available (such as Trillian) and setting up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network is almost as simple as on a Mac.
Linux operating systems, of course, have plenty of third-party apps available, and most distros have ad hoc network-creation support built in.
Build Large Bridged Wireless Network

Using popular wireless access point devices like a Linksys WRT54G, you can create a huge wireless bridged network -- effectively creating a Local Area Network (LAN), or a private Internet that can be utilized by all users within range using a Wi-Fi enabled device.
You can also link multiple devices together wirelessly, extending the range of your network. Most access points will cover a 100 meter area and if your wireless device is built to support the 802.11n wireless standard, you will get almost a 500 meter coverage area for each access point.
To build a wireless bridge, check out the dd-wrt wiki, and learn how to configure Linksys WRT54G as a wireless client using this Anandtech thread.
Nintendo DS

A used DS family device can be purchased inexpensively. In addition to wi-fi, the DS supports its own wireless protocols. Using Pictochat, it is possible to chat with nearby DS users without having any DS games. Unfortunately, the range is quite short.
Some games, such as the fourth generation Pokemon games, support mail items. Thus you can send your message under the guise of just playing a game. Mail items can be sent through the Internet if you can get on the net and you and your partner(s) have each other's friend codes.
The original DS and the DS Lite do support the Opera web browser, but finding the game card and memory pack may be very difficult. Starting with the DSi, Opera is downloadable.
Intranet

Your computer has the ability to set up your own INTRANET. This was done BEFORE the internet was popularized in two ways: Your computer dialed up other computers and sent them the contents of a message board, or local people people dialed into your computer. A nationwide system can be set up this way with a central location sending to many cities then each city sending out the info locally.
Become untraceable

If you're going to post government secrets on your work-around site, you may want to set up an untraceable account. Really, you only need a mail drop, an assumed name, a prepaid credit card you can get at many stores to set up service.
Get satellite access

You can have very, very slow internet if you have something similiar to an Iridium phone, which would allow you to do dial up at 2400 baud, which at least gives you e-mail. This will also work when your government has shut down GSM and telephone access, and will work pretty much anywhere on the planet. If you're in the right place, get yourself KA-SAT access which is satellite broadband and will not be routed through any internet exchange that certain local governments may monitor or block (unless that government is part of EU or er ... Uncle Sam.
Back to Basics

Make some noise: Have an air horn or other loud instrument handy. It may just come down to being able to alert people in your local geographic area, who would otherwise be unaware of an emergency. You may also want to learn a bit about Morse code and have a cheat sheet available.
Additional Resources

The online activist group known as Anonymous has posted a crowd-sourced document titled "20 Ways to Circumvent the Egyptians Governments' Internet Block" that includes specific connectivity details like ham radio frequencies and ip addresses for social networking sites.

Amid Digital Blackout, Anonymous Mass-Faxes WikiLeaks Cables To Egypt
Jan. 28 2011 - 1:46 p

Updated (twice) below with other activist efforts to offer Egyptians Internet access.

Egypt has dropped a digital iron curtain over its Internet. So WikiLeaks’ fans are using an analog tool to smuggle the secret-spilling site’s latest scandals into the country: fax machines.

On Friday afternoon, the loose hacker group Anonymous began a campaign to fax thousands of copies of WikiLeaks’ latest missives–a series of State Department cables revealing human rights abuses under Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and tacit U.S. backing for his administration–to Egyptian numbers.

Since Thursday night, Egypt has blocked its four largest Internet service providers, Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, and Etisalat Misr. But landlines remain connected–and so, Anonymous believes, do landline-connected fax machines. “We stand up for the little guy as well as fighting the government,” one source within Anonymous writes to me. “We believe the people need to see the truth, which is why we’re faxing locations in Egypt (especially schools) with copies of a relevant WikiLeaks cable; due to the majority of Egyptian Internet being down, the public cannot access this vital information.”

On a crowdsourced document that the group uses for planning, members listed fax numbers of half a dozen Egyptian schools as their first targets. “The idea is to distribute the information to students, who can then share it with others,” says another source within Anonymous. “Right now they need to know that the police cannot be trusted and the wikileaks cables are just more proof of that.”

Update: As a commenter notes, another activist group calling itself Telecomix is also faxing messages to Egypt, offering its own Internet access points to anyone in the country with a dial-up modem. They’ve also announced they’re monitoring Ham radio frequencies to pick up messages from any Egyptians who want to broadcast messages.

Update again: Now Anonymous and Telecomix seem to have joined forces to offer Egyptians Internet access via foreign landlines. They’ve listed dozens of numbers that offer connections in this document.

Just what impact Anonymous’ WikiLeak faxes might have isn’t clear, given that thousands of young Egyptians are already on the streets and experiencing human rights abuses firsthand–not sitting in their offices waiting by the fax machine. But just as WikiLeaks may have helped inspire Tunisia’s non-violent ouster of its ruler Ben Ali earlier this month, the latest WikiLeaks documents could help dispel any remaining illusions Egyptians have about their government and its police force, which frequently tortures and brutalizes suspects and dissidents, according to the leaked cables.

The campaign also shows that Anonymous may be evolving its political tools, after campaigns that used denial-of-service attacks to take down websites of Mastercard, Paypal, and some Tunisian government sites, and led to the arrest of five suspected participants in those attacks around the U.K. earlier Friday. The Egyptian government, after all, just performed a massive denial of service attack on its entire Internet. Anonymous, for a change, is working to provide, rather than deny information.

Anonymous’s fax tactics hark back to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, when student protestors used faxes to communicate with Chinese-Americans in the U.S. and get out word of the bloody crackdown. In the analog world that Egypt’s government has imposed on its citizens, that tool may be as effective as ever.

4 More Projects to Create a Government-less Internet
By Klint Finley / January 31, 2011 2:15 PM / 2 Comments
Tweet
Hacker News

This post is part of our ReadWriteCloud channel, which is dedicated to covering virtualization and cloud computing. The channel is sponsored by Intel and VMware.

Last week we told you about three projects to create a government-less Internet by taking advantage of wireless mesh networking. Wireless mesh networks are networks that don't require a centralized authority to create networks. These can provide an alternative way to communicate and share information during a crisis such as a natural disaster or civic unrest.

Many of you followed-up by telling us about several other interesting projects, such as P2P DNS to Tonkia. Most importantly, there are at least four other projects that should have been on our original list.
Daihinia

Daihinia is a commercial project that provides software that essentially turns Windows PCs into wireless repeaters. The company's software makes it possible to use a desktop or laptop with a normal wireless card to "hop" to a wireless access point while out of range of that access point.

There's no Macintosh version, but it's being discussed.
Digitata

Digitata is a sub-project of open_sailing's Openet, which we mentioned in the previous installment. Digitata is focused on bringing wireless networks to rural areas of Africa. The group is creating open source hardware and software, including its own own IP layer for mesh networking called IPvPosition (IPvP).
Freifunk

Freifunk (German for "free radio") is an organization dedicated to providing information and resources for mesh networking projects. Its website has a list of local mesh networks all over the world, from Afghanistan to Nepal to Seattle.

One of its main resources is the Freifunk firmware, a free router firmware optimized for wireless mesh networking. Users can replace the standard firmware on their routers with Frefunk's firmware, enabling them to build mesh networks with cheap off the shelf hardware.

Freifunk also develops a protocol Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking, or B.A.T.M.A.N., an alternative to the older Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR).
wlan ljubljana and nodewatcher

wlan ljubljana is a wireless mesh network in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In addition to providing its users with Internet access, it appears to also feature a local network.

wlan ljubljana is working with volunteers in other cities in Slovenia to create more local networks, and has created its own firmware package for routers called nodewatcher. Like Freifunk, nodewatcher is based on the embeddable Linux distribution OpenWrt. nodewatcher is designed to be easy to use for a non-technical user.
More Resources

Here are a few more resources:

* The Connective, a knowledge base dedicated to mesh networking and building a citizen-owned Internet.
* A list of mesh networking protocols like B.A.T.M.A.N.
* A Reddit thread discussing the above link.
* A Reddit community dedicated to creating a darknet.
* Wikipedia's list of wireless community projects, many of which are mesh networks.

Free Anonymous Uncensored Internet for Everyone one bit at time...

Hi!

Since I have announced that http://www.torservers.net accepts Bitcoin in the "We accept Bitcoin" thread, I have already received over 200 Euro worth of Bitcoin! I want to use this thread to thank all those who have donated, and to apologize for not yet having added these donations to our list of donations page. I want to revamp the page to give a better chronological view of donations, and rest assured that all your donations will be listed there once I manage to find enough time. I will be on vacation the rest of September, so don't expect this to happen earlier than October. Sorry! Check the twitter feed @torservers to keep everyone up to date on donations.

I also want to use this to properly introduce Torservers. Torservers is a project I started some months ago. The idea behind it is to support the Tor project with operational services. What does that mean?

The Tor software is in development for 10 years now, open source, and 'simply the best'. It is a research oriented project that aims to provide free, anonymous and uncensored Internet access to anyone who needs it. More and more countries are censoring and monitoring Internet access, and journalists, activists and bloggers risk their lives (or lose it...) to get information out (and in). Tor makes it very hard, if not impossible for a single government, to block and monitor user activity. While they do excellent work, they cannot as official project run servers that run the Tor software. That's where we step in.

What we do at Torservers is maintain high bandwidth Tor exit nodes, deal with the technical issues - and especially the legal issues. Before we came, about 25% of all Tor traffic exited through one network (Blutmagie in Germany), and we wanted to change that. So what we are trying to do is bring together people who love the idea and want to support the network, but don't know how to run their own exit nodes, or don't want to do it for legal reasons.

100% of your donations go into operational costs of Tor exit nodes and bridges. Every user of Tor will benefit from more servers - more anonymity and more speed. We are the first instance who are able to provide private bridge IPs to activists/organizations.

This model seems to work very well, and I am in the process of registering a proper foundation (a German "Verein") to back this up. We don't do this for the money, I will pay for the foundation myself, but - besides donations of course - I can use your help in getting the word out, talking to people to make them aware of the problem of censorship (say China, Burma, Iran, Irak, Saudi Arabia, Tunesia, Russia, etc...!), and to spread the idea behind Tor. It would be awesome to find companies and organizations who love the idea and want to sponsor a node. Tor has 50000 daily users from China alone! For me, getting information to and from people in oppressed countries is among the most important tasks of our civilization.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Lend your bandwidth for a global proxy cloud:

...Contributing to the Tor network requires a bit of technical savvy and a devotion of your time and your computer's resources. If that's you, you can help by joining the Global Proxy Cloud and downloading Tor, a free anti-censorship program developed by The Tor Project. A computer and other networked devices which run a Tor bridge over an extended period can help the network run faster, so if you have the know-how and are willing to make the commitment, follow the links to the right to The Tor Project's download page. And make sure you're familiar with their guide to running a Tor bridge.

Here's how it works. Tor is a network of tunnels through which information and internet sites can be requested and passed back anonymously, allowing users to access sites like Twitter, Facebook and Gmail even when they are blocked. Your support will allow the Egyptian people to connect to sites like Facebook, as the encrypted traffic will pass through your donated bandwidth, avoiding firewalls set up by the government.

And remember, once you start your bridge, make sure to keep it

MEDIA ^^
Do not attack media, if you try to bring down a website because you disagree with what it says then you are just as bad as the goverment! It is censorship and it is hypocritical. What we do when they lie? because you know they lie, a journalist ask me if we are from CIA, can you imagine? Expose the lies, find out the truth and inform people but let them make up their own minds. You can't deny them from viewing information just because you think it's wrong. well a lot of algerian gonna be disapointed... If a lot of Algerians want the media brought down then they can do it themselves, by protesting. I don't see why they would though at it's censorship! The same thing that they're trying to fight.
N'attaquez pas les médias, si vous fermez un site internet parce que vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec ce qu'il dit, vous ne valez pas mieux que le gouvernement! C'est de la censure, et c'est hypocrite.
>>Et que fait-on quand il mentent? Parce que vous savez qu'ils mentent, un journaliste m'a demandé si nous étions de la CIA, tu imagines?
>>Exposez les mensonges, découvrez la vérité et informez les gens mais laissez-les se forger leur propre opinion. Vous ne pouvez pas leur refuser l'information juste parce que vous la pensez mauvaise.
>>Eh bien, pas mal d'Algériens vont être déçus...
>>Si beaucoup d'Algériens veulent mettre à mal leur médias, qu'ils le fassent eux-même, en protestant. Je ne vois pas pourquoi ils le désireraient vu que c'est de la censure! Exactement ce que nous combattons.
>> La meilleure solution selon moi est d'informer le mieux que l'on peut. C'est une guerre d'Info/Désinfo.? Alors il faut la combattre de cette façon: Constructive et pacifique.

http://www.pen.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/686 update: he's released
http://www.pen.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/632/prmID/172 : Mohammed Benchicou, a newspaper publisher already in prison and facing 50 additional sentences for his newspaper’s independent reporting [...] Benchicou’s arrest was reportedly ordered by the Algerian Interior Minister Yazid Zerhouni, who Le Matin had accused in a 2003 article of involvement in torturing prisoners in the 1970s during his service as a military security commander. At a press conference in Djelfa in 2003, Zerhouni stated that Benchicou would “pay” for the accusation. Benchicou angered officials in early 2004 with a satirical book about the Algerian president: "Bouteflika, an Algerian Fraud"

Report from sat jan22's manifestation: Anonymous IRC user tells his story of the manifestations in Algiers.
""Algiers turned blue from police and their vehicles. They didn't let the protesters together, the protest was programed to begin from the May 1st Square, but we found over 100 vehicles of police there and they were dispatched to prevent any gathering. So we went to the regional bureau of the RCD. There was a group of people in front of it, but there was more policemen than protesters (see pics). We told to two journalists that the website of Interior Minister was attacked by Anonymous. We could take pics and videos only in front of the RCD office, and then police began charging people and we vanished anonymously. But the city of Algiers was surrounded by security services and they concentrated an important number of anti-riot vehicles all over the center of Algiers. Reportedly, there were 7 people arrested, 2 of which were wounded.""
Anonymous was there and took some pictures: https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid= ... 833d778276


Bullet proof anonymity with Cross routing
it is possible to configure i2p to route HTTP and HTTPS traffic through tor as well by configuring the appropriate tunnel to use the outproxy2.h2ik.i2p outproxy and having your we browser use 127.0.0.1 and the appropriate port as a proxy by using this and a web proxy in a country with poor relations with the government you are hiding from forms a method i call crass routing there are also web interfaces for anonymous remailers that bounce emails sent through them all over the world by combining this with crass routing and up to date versions of i2p and your browser and noscript you can send emails with strong anonymity my preferred remailer is https://www.awxcnx.de/mm-anon-email.htm which is run by the German privacy foundation so even if it is tracked through the remailer to them and they some how manage to convince them to give any information they have they would then have to go through your cross routing. For receiving messages set up a i2p email address and a account with https://privacybox.de/index.en.html and point it to your i2p mail address and instruct people who wish to send you a message to post it on your https://privacybox.de/index.en.html account and it will be relayed to your i2p mail account optionally you can import a pgp public key to your https://privacybox.de/index.en.html account to add secrecy to your messages. It is a good idea to have a list of foreign web proxies you can alternate as the final layer of your crass outing set up to avoid compromise. If you are signing up for a website that requires personal information never give a single bit of real info. There is a website called http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ that can generate detailed fake identities for a wide array of ethnic ,national,age and gender needs. You should only use a identity once unless you are trying to create a consistent profile. When surfing anonymously it is extremely important that you use a script blocking solution like noscript and have it automatically block
Google-analytics as this is a dangerous cross website tracking cookie/script. And you should only allow scripts that are necessary for essential content. And if your Internet connection assigns you a dynamic IP address make sure i2p is set to laptop mode. And have i2p running as long as possible and do not disconnect from I2p immediately after a posting as this can compromise your anonymity. Wait awhile and avoid patterns in how long you wait before disconcerting or keep I2P running 24/7. when you first install i2p be sure to enable inbound traffic and leave it running at least 24 hours after the initial install. A easy to implement cross router is to use portable i2p and boot it off a USB drive in a public Internet terminal and configure it to route through tor as mentioned above. Portable I2P can be found here and you should be sure to update it frequently: http://portable-i2p.blogspot.com/ if you choose to use public wifi and a laptop for your anonymous surfing be sure to spoof your mac address and avoid using the same hot-spot too many times and in that case it is extremely important that laptop mode is enabled. And use HTTPS when ever possible regardless of where routing from. This should go with out saying but never visit a site that can identify you from any form of cross routing as this will cripple your anonymity. Another major threat to your anonymity is downloaded files especially PDFs never download a file from a untrusted source and try and strip meta data from files you have created before uploading. Cross routing can be used for more then just anonymous web browsing and emails there are many web based interfaces to other services and protocols that can be found with Google such as spoofed SMS and even SSH and https://www.awxcnx.de has a web interface to newsgroups as well. And due to the nature of crass routing you can visit both .i2p “eepsites” and .onion websites from the same browser seamlessly. If you run into any technical problems with I2P
you can search the I2P forums at forum.i2p2.de for instructions on fixing common problems and if necessary you can ask for support for your individual problems. By harnessing the power of cross routing your prescience on line becomes masked and would require massive resources and time to track down and will discourage all but the most savvy and determined attackers.
