Open-Source Projects

  • neubot/dash: I still maintain this project, which implements a client and server for the Neubot DASH streaming experiment.

  • ooni/probe-cli: I maintained and led the development of this project (and the OONI measurement engine written in Go) between 2019 and 2024.

  • bassosimone/websteps-illustrated: I wrote this new experimental experiment for exploring improving websites blocking measurement techniques in 2022-2024 and incorporated core ideas into OONI Web Connectivity v0.5 experiment.

  • measurement-kit/measurement-kit: I wrote and maintained this library between 2013 and 2020 to provide an OONI, Neubot, and NDTv5 measurement engine. Measurement Kit was used by OONI (in 2017-2020) as well as other integrators to perform network performance and internet censorship measurements.

  • m-lab/ndt-server: I contributed to this repository in 2018-2020 to implement the next-generation Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) iteration, also known as ndt7.

  • neubot/neubot: I wrote this project as a doctoral student and maintained it between 2010 and 2020 (with most of the development and the related research papers happening in 2010-2014 during my doctorate).
