They appear to be sharing it on the sly only with \u201cpeople they know\u201d to avoid tipping off the authorities that they are dealing and distributing illegal software, the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause Garakji is shared and distributed entirely through personal networks and acquaintances, there\u2019s no separate user\u2019s manual,\u201d he explained, adding, \u201cThe directions are conveyed entirely through word of mouth.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBidulgi,\u201d another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/ins-and-outs-north-koreas-smartphone-security-authentications-bypass-program-bidulgi\/\">circumvention program currently in circulation<\/a> in North Korea, reportedly has a separate instruction manual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK&#8217;s source said that Pyongyang is the \u201cdistribution source and supply base\u201d of the Garakji program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is to say, Pyongyang was where the program first began circulating. Based on the source&#8217;s account, it appears university students studying or living in Pyongyang are giving the program to their relatives or acquaintances in areas outside the capital city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also possible that the program was developed at a research lab in Pyongyang and secretly spread to the provinces by the very people involved in its creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source claimed that the \u201cRed Star Research Institute\u201d first developed Garakji in July of last year, with research labs at Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology adding later improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Red Star Research Institute is affiliated to the Korea Computer Center, North Korea\u2019s top software development body. Leading universities such as Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology also have Red Star Research Institutes of their own, which appear related to the one affiliated with the Korea Computer Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the Red Star Research Institute of the Korea Computer Center may have created Garakji and distributed it to related institutions. In the process, the program came to be improved, sold and distributed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, another circumvention program \u2014 this one called \u201cNalgae\u201d \u2014 is circulating in North Korea as well.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the program has been spreading since early May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey say it works better and faster than Garakji, and it\u2019s simpler, too, though I\u2019ve never used it,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean authorities are constantly trying to track and eliminate circumvention programs, yet new programs continue to appear. This situation suggests that North Koreans are continuing to consume content from the outside world away from the prying eyes of the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220812-1\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 10% of university students in Pyongyang use the circumvention program \u201cGarakji\u201d to get around the security systems North Korean authorities install on smartphones, Daily NK has learned.\u00a0 A source in Pyongyang told Daily NK on Friday that about 10 out of 100 university students in the capital use Garakji.
