Last month, in collaboration with ISOC, M-Lab, Censored Planet, and IODA, OONI co-hosted an internet measurement hackathon alongside the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) 2023.

We published a blog post sharing the cool projects that came out of the hackathon: https://ooni.org/post/imc-hackathon-results-2023/

The hackathon participants worked on using OONI data to investigate IPv6 connectivity, data triangulation to infer censorship or shutdown events, and on correlating alarms across multiple datasets. We were very impressed with the results produced by the participants!

During the hackathon, OONI's Arturo created "The Sound of Internet Shutdowns": a sonification project which transforms some of the features of the IODA dataset into synthesized sounds: https://shutdown-sound.vercel.app/

Here is an example of how an internet shutdown in Iraq based on IODA data sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1TFc1AyqI4

Warm thanks to all the participants and co-organizers for making the hackathon a great event!
