Contents

Design

Naenara is a modified version of Mozilla Firefox [3] and is distributed with the Linux-based operating system Red Star OS that North Korea developed due to licensing and security issues with Microsoft Windows. [4]

Usage

Naenara can be used to browse approximately 1,000 to 5,500 websites in the national Kwangmyong intranet. [5]

Red Star OS and Naenara were developed by the Korea Computer Center that states on its web page that it seeks to develop Linux-based software for use. [6]

When Naenara is run, it tries to contact an IP address at http://10.76.1.12/. [1] The default search engine for the browser is Google Korea. [4]
