What is Guerilla Network Trading?
A program made for spreading political propaganda in countries without the freedom of speech.
Guerilla Network Trading is a distributed file system using network in network, inspired from Gnutella. The princip is, if you have a client, that client knows 3-5 other computers, that knows 3-5 other computers…..
The problem using Gnutella is the traceability with downloading, the search for something is distributed, but the downloads is still performed peer to peer.
We have (with the loss of performance) made a piece of software that downloads though the network in network.
This means, if you are computer A, that searches for a file, and that file is found on the computer D, then the download could be from d-c-b-a. The point is that you never will know!
Due to the performance in this kind of file transfering, it is recommened only to use with high bandwith, and not with too many computers (100 computers is preferred).
The communication between the clients is done by using RSA 2048 bit assynchronious cryptation and 128 bit blowfish.
The cryptation between the different clients is also done with different blowfish keys, to avoid someone listening on the network and figure out who is sending the data.

Free Game: Battle Of Seattle
Heres a great little game I found this morning called The Battle Of Seatle. The premiss and plot center around the WTO civil/uncivil action up in Seattle. Its a perfect example of a good DTP game. The rules, map and game counters are all there for the grabbing, just add a printer and youve got another game in your cabinet.
I have writting the author to see if they have a CyberBoard for it; if not Im going to take a crack at it. If you play this game, let me know and we can meet on the streets for some civil unrest.
Free Zope Hosting
A compnay called NIP Ltd. is offering free zope hosting. This is the first of its kind i have come across. Yea its in the UK and yea its not the speediest connection but its free and its zope and they have Squish
dot as one of thier allowed objects.
As some of you know WSMF was running some very usefull Zope projects up unitl i moved out of DSL land.
Befoire I start send folks over there for new WSMF projects, like a wargame./boardgame site, Im going to shake it down over the next few days. If this works out it
means I can do zope sites again over the internet. At work I have a few
projects hosted, but not being able to do my own zope stuff on the
internet has really taken a bite out of the effectiveness of WSMFs many
projects. Egroups and Blogger are great for many things, but nothing near what a site
running a few key zope objects can do (ie squishdot, zwiki, zsql, etc)
(if anyone has an internet based zope site up and wants to dontate some space
to wsmf, well as nelson mandella says “aint to proud to beg”)
Here are the links
