Lantern is a free peer-to-peer internet censorship circumvention tool that delivers fast, reliable, and secure access to the open internet. It provides a way to bypass state-sanctioned filtration through a network of trusted users.
During the summer of 2016, Lantern and Open Technology Fund engaged NCC Group to conduct a security assessment of Lantern. Lantern provides a proxy intended for use to bypass censorship. This assessment was open ended and time boxed. Source code review was the primary method of assessment. One consultant focused on code review from a vulnerability discovery perspective and a second consultant focused on systemic and architectural issues.
