Naenara (browser)


Naenara is a North Korean intranet web browser software developed by the Korea Computer Center for use of the national Kwangmyong intranet. It is developed from a version of Mozilla Firefox 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.

Design

Naenara is a modified version of Mozilla Firefox. Naenara is the only software distributed with the Red Star OS that is not named after its functionality. 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.
Naenara can be used to browse approximately 1,000 to 5,500 websites in the national Kwangmyong intranet.
In 2010 Russia Today reported that Mozilla's Firefox website successfully recognized Naenara, and offered downloads for the latest Korean language version of Firefox for i686.
When Naenara is run, it tries to contact an IP address at http://10.76.1.11/. The default search engine for the browser is Google Korea.
