As part of the observatory, Censored Planet develops and maintains various next-generation remote measurement techniques
Satellite measures DNS manipulation by sending requests to public DNS nameservers, and comparing their responses with a set of hueristics developed for detecting censorship.
Augur provides a method and accompanying system that utilizes TCP/IP side channels to measure reachability between two Internet locations without directly controlling a measurement vantage point at either location.
Quack is a novel technique for measuring keyword blocking at the application layer in a scalable, longitudinal, and safe way. Quack uses echo servers to detect DPI blocking of traffic based on request headers.
Hyperquack is a powerful extension to Quack that measures keyword blocking at the application layer using infrastructural web servers as vantage points. Hyperquack detects interference with HTTP and HTTPS traffic by making use of publicly accessible web-servers with consistent behavior.
