Introduction
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Geneva is an artificial intelligence tool that defeats censorship by exploiting
|
|
bugs in censors, such as those in China, India, and Kazakhstan. Unlike many
|
|
other anti-censorship solutions which require assistance from outside the
|
|
censoring regime (Tor, VPNs, etc.), Geneva runs strictly on one side of the
|
|
connection (either the client or server side).
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, Geneva uses a genetic algorithm to evolve censorship evasion
|
|
strategies and has found several previously unknown bugs in censors. Geneva's
|
|
strategies manipulate the network stream to confuse the censor without impacting
|
|
the client/server communication. This makes Geneva effective against many types
|
|
of in-network censorship (though it cannot be used against IP-blocking
|
|
censorship).
|
|
|
|
Geneva is composed of two high level components: its *genetic algorithm* (which
|
|
it uses to evolve new censorship evasion strategies) and its *strategy engine*
|
|
(which is uses to run an individual censorship evasion strategy over a network
|
|
connection).
|
|
|
|
Geneva's `Github page <https://github.com/kkevsterrr/geneva>`_ contains the
|
|
Geneva's full implementation: its genetic algorithm, strategy engine, Python
|
|
API, and a subset of published strategies. With these tools, users and
|
|
researchers alike can evolve new strategies or leverage existing strategies to
|
|
evade censorship. To learn more about how Geneva works, see :ref:`How it
|
|
Works`.
