Peek-a-Boo (ty)

Anemophilous Coward writes "Tom's Hardware has a story detailing cDc's new anonymity app, just demonstrated Sunday. Peek-A-Booty is designed to let surfers access sites blocked by government restrictions, and is essentially, a distributed proxy network. It uses a peer-to-peer model, masking the identity of each node. This means the user can route around censorship that blocks citizens' access to specific IP addresses, because the censor doesn't know they're going there. There is also a website dedicated to the project."

I don't administer any kind of network (apart from the 4 Linux & 1 Win98 at home). However, you don't have to be a sysadmin to be patronising and arrogant. And my uid is not particularly low. It's about two orders of magnitude too high to get a proposal of marriage from CmdrTaco.

They are not drones because they are windows users. The reverse would be more accurate.

Where's the "Beef"?

[spotter]

this supposdly "non vaporware" still isn't downloadable from the peekabooty website.

Just because people have seen it run, doesn't make it non vaporware, it has to be distributed.

So where's the Beef? ([lame joke]or should that be dead cow?[/lame joke])

I don't care how low your uid is, I still find your referring to employees as drones to be patronising and arrogant.

That's right. Please refer to them more accurately. Call them "lusers".

Blocked!

I'd like to use this, but my company has blocked access to the site.
