      ab: The article discusses the use of malware by computer scientists including Alberto Dainotti and K. C. Claffy of the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in researching Internet censorship in Libya and Egypt. The article looks at how the CAIDA researchers used the darknet, also called a network telescope, to study Internet Background Radiation (IBR) and identify areas which displayed a sudden drop in packet rate due to BGP or packet-level blocking. The article also discusses the use of the Internet in activism and antigovernment protests.
