Links to various P2P program that offer almost complete anonymity. Great for insane underground info and warez.
The main problem I have with “anonymous” p2p it’s kills speeds. You can obscure yourself but you are not anonyms. Not to mention when you obscure yourself like that you sacrifice speed and reliability.
It is possible to get anonymity on the internet. Drive up to somebodies house use their wireless connection for example. You can also basically route all traffic through god knows how many proxy servers, effectively hiding you for law enforcement, especially if you route through somewhere like Russia. Although technically some agencies could track you down it is a costly exercise.
Many wireless routers log MAC addresses for the DHCP server, also in arp cache on all the machines. a MAC is globally unique so it could be used as evidence to confirm that you’re the one who did the deed. They’d still have to catch you first, but that’s not too difficult since most warez kiddies are braggarts. If the Feds can identify the network they came from, they may be able to pull the ISP’s logs/traffic details & eventually line up a list of suspects.
Anonymity is easily possible. Proxy chaining through lists you find on the net though, not good. They just aren’t safe. All you need to do is spoof your mac address, and you’re identified as a whole other computer by the dhcp server. Better yet, spoof someone elses mac, take their ip, now that’s anonymity. Add that to being on someone else’s wifi, and proxy chaining. Hmmmm, doesn’t get more anonymous than that now does it?
I like the idea of onion routers and random servers used on Tor. These programs are nothing like the old days of Kazaa Lite, much more diffucult for the average user. Anyone still using bit torrent?
