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.[3]

Design

Naenara is a modified version of Mozilla Firefox.[4] 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.[5]

Naenara can be used to browse approximately 1,000 to 5,500 websites in the national Kwangmyong intranet.[6]

When Naenara is run, it tries to contact an IP address at http://10.76.1.11/.[1] The default search engine for the browser is Google Korea.[3]
