Paranoia? That might be well for you, but not eveybody has PGP (friends that don't have it).

Why doesn't other services use SSL (ES5 does, check out earthstation5.com). Sure there are little utilities that can encrypt text, but how secure are they REALLY? Recently there was a bug found in GnuPG (some type of key) that caused the whole system to be useless.

1. Never trust a goddamn jew or arab!

2. If it sounds to be too good to be true, it's not true.

They already are. There's Earth Station 5 based in Palestine that apparently decided to "declare war" on the entertainment industry.

When I clicked on ES5 and EarthStation 5, I was told that I could not connect because the servers do not exist.

... but this is what you get if you click on the "Company"-Link of ES5:

Our group is made up of many people, Jordanians, Palestinians, Indians, Americans, Russians and Israelis. Some of us are Jewish, some Christians, some Hindus and other of us are Muslim.

Believe it or not, we all love and respect each other.

We all work and play together. Our families on many occasions eat at the same dinner table. We trust each other and are very close friends with each other. As a group, the most important thing in our life is our children, our families and love ones and of course our friends.

Yeah I hated that flash thing too the docs are also kinda hard to find
The main points are here if you need them.

Stealth Technology Components:

One-Click Proxy Server - ES5 provides users with the instant ability to transmit and download via a "proxy server." Not to be confused with a corporate firewall/proxy/socks proxy, ES5 allows users to send connection requests through intermediary proxy servers located throughout the world so that the download destination of a file cannot be traced by any entity whatsoever.

SSL - Secure Sockets ö Ensures that the agents of the Evil Empire cannot monitor a userâs uploading or downloading activity. When a user downloads a file, ES5 will provide the user the option to automatically deploy SSL by right clicking. The only negative side effect is that SSL causes the download to be slower due to processing overhead.

UDP - User Datagram Protocol - It is not possible to reliably scan UDP so Big Brother cannot examine a userâs computer to determine if ES5 is running, unless they themselves are connecting to the ES5 network. However, it is not possible to batch scan computers at random to establish if ES5 is in operation on a userâs computer.

ES5 Security Key - ES5 utilizes a standard HTTP server to transmit files, but deploys a special "security key" so than only ES5 users can access your shared files.

Has anyone tried Earthstation5?

supports SSL, Proxys, tunneling of UDP though port 80 and some other goodies to hide from ISP's, RIAA, etc?

I've downloaded and tried it and was quite happy with it. You take a speed hit for your privacy but when the RIAA is screaming bloody murder it might be the only alternitive. Now all we have to do is e-mail them like made to get it ported to other OS's!

p2p thats anonymous and encrypted check out

Earthstation 5.

See their

press release.

" improving P2P security "

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a P2P application that had support for SSL, Proxy's and sets tunneling to prevent ISP's from blocking it?
well thats what the link is. It is still in beta and only available for windows so lets E-mail them about porting it. Or maybe one of you sharp coders is looking for a project. I only know perl so I'm out hehe

ONE CLICK PROXI SERVER - Users can send connection requests through intermediary proxy servers located throughout the world so that the download destination of a file cannot be traced by any entity whatsoever.

SSL - SECURE SOCKETS - Prevents monitoring of a user's uploading or downloading activity.

UDP -USER DATAGRAM PROTOCOL Using UDP makes it impossible to reliably scan a user's computer to determine if ES5 is running. Also, unlike TCP connections, UDP traffic can not be easily blocked by ISPs.

IP ADDRESSES - ES5 does not display user IP Address information.

DYNAMIC PORTS- Each ES5 node uses a randomly chosen port (unless the user chooses a specific port themselves). Therefore, ISPÃs will be unable to identify file-sharing traffic based upon port numbers and unable to throttle back the users bandwidth.

USER DEFINED PORT SETTINGS- ES5 provides users with one-click port setting options for ES5 to use port 53 (the port used by DNS) or port 37 (the port used by time service) therefore rendering all blocking attempts hopeless.

MULTIPLE POINTS OF ENTRY - ES5 uses multiple methods for connecting to the ES5 network including IP Multicast, Usenet Articles, Web Sites, Node List Files and a several other undisclosed methods.

PENETRATING FIREWALLS - UDP allows seamless penetration of firewalls without inconvenient setting of firewall parameters. For users behind firewalls, ES5 uses UDP to request a PUSH, where the behind-the-firewall computer initiates the connection back to the requested user's computer.

PGPDisk - As an additional security feature, to all P2P programs, is that ES5 integrates seamlessly with PGPDisk (which is a free program and will be provided by ES5 to its users) that lets you encrypt your disk drives to store your P2P content. No one except you will ever be able to see your files, not your kids, your spouse, your mother, your boss, the FBI, the KGB or anyone else!
