The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world.
This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:
-
the CLI client (cmd/ooniprobe);
-
the test helper server (internal/cmd/oohelperd);
-
the mobile library (pkg/oonimkall);
-
and all the related support packages (inside internal).
Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file. You
may also notice that some internal packages live under internal/engine
while most others are top-level. This is part of a long-standing refactoring started
when we merged https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine into this repository. We'll slowly
ensure that all packages inside engine are moved out of it and inside internal.
The mobile library is a public package for technical reasons. Go mobile tools require
a public package to build from. Yet, we don't consider API breakages happening in
such a package to be sufficient to bump our major version number. For us, the mobile
library is just a mean to implement OONI Probe Android and OONI Probe iOS. We'll
only bump the major version number if we implement any set of breaking changes of
the ./cmd/ooniprobe's CLI.

Please, follow the instructions at ooni.org/install/cli
to install ooniprobe. If we do not support your use case, please let us know. Once
ooniprobe is installed, try ooniprobe help to get interactive help.
Report issues at github.com/ooni/probe.
Please, make sure you add the ooni/probe-cli label.
Be sure you have golang >= 1.17 and a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows). You can build using:
go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobeThis will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk androidto build bindings for Android. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk iosto build bindings for iOS. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
go build -v ./internal/cmd/miniooniThis will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.
Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:
go build -v ./internal/cmd/oohelperdThis will generate a binary called oohelperd in the current directory.
Every nettest (aka experiment) implemented in this repository has a companion spec in the ooni/spec repository.
Please, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
go get -u -v ./... && go mod tidyCreate an issue according to the routine release template and perform any item inside the check-list.
We build releases using ./mk, which requires GNU make. Try
the ./mk help|less command for detailed usage.
