------------------------- _September 23, 2020_ Following the controversial presidential elections in August 2020, where incumbent president Lukashenko won a “landslide victory” with 80% of the votes, the people of Belarus went to the streets to show their dissatisfaction and claimed the election result to befraudulent.
The protests quickly grow and the authorities responded with widespread and violent arrests, Internet outage, and blocking of a large amount of news and political websites. This report investigates the Internet blocking in place in Belarus, focusing on a few selected providers to look deeper into the nature of the hardware used for the blocking and to understand which capabilities that are in place. The following four operators have been chosen for the study:* Business Network
* Beltelecom
* Unitary Enterprise A1 (A1) * Mobile TeleSystems Belarus (MTS) The report is a joint investigation with the Belarusian human rights organization Human Constanta . ------------------------- WEBSITES WITH RESTRICTED ACCESS The official registry of websites with restricted access in Belarus is not public, but only accessible to the authorities and internet service providers. The registry includes election monitoring initiatives, human rights organizations, websites of political candidates to Lukashenko, and independent news outlets. Based on the block list provided by OONI, we have identified the blocking in place by the four selected operators for each blockedsite.

UNITARY ENTERPRISE A1 UNITARY ENTERPRISE A1 (A1) is the largest private telecom, ICT & content service provider in Belarus. A1 opted to block websites using HTTP and HTTPS transparent proxies based on Squid. The web proxy (reserved.a1.by), only triggers a response for the IP addresses of the blocked websites, sends a HTTP302 redirect:
HTTP/1.1 302 FoundServer: squid
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 13:31:25 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8Content-Length: 0
Location: https://a1.by/mininfo/ X-Squid-Error: 403 Access Denied X-Cache: MISS from reserved.a1.by X-Cache-Lookup: NONE from reserved.a1.by:3128 Via: 1.1 RESERVED.A1.BY (squid) Connection: keep-alive The proxy also hijacks the HTTPS sessions forging certificates with commonName: ATLANT-TELECOM HTTPS PROXY A1 is forging X509 certificates. A1 forged X509 certificate. When the user accepts the certificate, it gets redirected to a captive portal hxxps://www.a1.by/mininfo/ Captive portal of A1 presenting the block message. FORGED CERTIFICATES IMPERSONATE DOMAINS AND ITS SUBJECTS A1 FORGES ALL THE X509 CERTIFICATES OF THE BLOCKED WEBSITES. Instead of creating a totally new self-signed certificate, they opted for keeping some of the values of the original certificate (Subject field and Validity) and replace the Issuer and crypto material only. The Subject field of a X509 certificate is the entity that its public key is associated with. For example the certificate of zenmate.com changed “Issuer” from Cloudflare to Atlant-Telecom but kept Cloudflare details in the certificate in the Subject field. Forged certificates impersonate Domains and its Subjects. MOBILE TELESYSTEMS BELARUS Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) is the largest mobile network operator in Russia, also serving Armenia and Belarus. The largest owner of MTS Belarus is Beltelecom (51% of shares), the national telecommunicationscompany of Belarus.
Mobile TeleSystems Belarus (MTSBY AS25106) enforces the blocking using their DNS servers 134.17.1.1 and 134.17.1.0. When a blocked website is requested, the DNS server responds with A record 134.17.0{.}7. SOA request for the same domains are not responded. A self-signed certificate valid for 274 years is served in 134.17.0{.}7 with the name “Default Company Ltd”. Once the certificate is accepted the browser receives a HTTP 301 redirect to hxxps://internet.mts.by/blocked HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2020 11:43:37 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips Location: hxxps://internet.mts.by/blocked < Content-Length: 240 < Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-885-1 MTS Belarus forged certificate. Block page provided by MTS Belarus. MTS Belarus’ certificate for blocked sites.CONCLUSIONS
* The Internet blocking in Belarus is implemented within the infrastructure of each provider, and not on a central level. * The techniques used include: * HTTP: transparent web proxies * injection of HTTP responses * HTTPS: stateless and stateful SSL DPI * Fake DNS responses * The list of blocked websites is not 100% consistent between the providers, but there is a very high degree of overlap that suggest that a list of websites have been provided to the ISPs for blocking.RECOMMENDED READING
