Title: North Korea's Internet
Post by: Jacob on January 09, 2015, 06:24:52 PM
Some guy gets his hands on North Korea's Official Web Browser (apparently an old version of Firefox), and makes some deductions: https://blog.whitehatsec.com/north-koreas-naenara-web-browser-its-weirder-than-we-thought/

... you know, in case you care.

The way I understand it, basically they treat the internet in their country as an intranet, so everybody connecting to stuff has to go through the same pipe (a proxy server) so they can control everything that goes through it. This slow downs stuff greatly and makes it vulnerable, but they aren't likely to give many fucks.

For a nation that is managing only 1,000 or so IP addresses, it looks like it makes perfect sense.
