Slashdot Mirror
InvisibleNet Presents IIP
An anonymous submitter writes: "A new and ever growing project has launched into the alternative
network realm, changing the pace by focusing directly on speech, rather than file sharing. The Invisible Irc Project, a peer
distributed secure and anonymous internet relay chat network has popped up
at some of the recent conventions this past year. The creator, and project leader, known as 0x90, has been seen at
CodeCon 2002 introducing
it to the public, at that time in more of a primitive state, and
today, almost a year later, the software has noticeably been more
usable by the masses. 0x90 just gave a talk at ToorCon 2K2 on designing a robust
& secure Peer-2-Peer framework, and their InvisibleNet site just released
new software
along with a two part interview that
was taken in July. A good read that details the depths of their
project, including the state it is in now, and the future vision of
a privately distributed steganographical crypto-net. I have tried
out the software and it is very easy to set up, and it supports the
freenixes, OS X, and Win32 machines. You can use any irc client
with it seemlessly, and the cryptography is handled transparently
within your "IIP" node. It's GPL so peer review is welcome, as it
also states this on their site. It appears to have a nice community
of users with a range of discussions. So if you have a bit of time
on your hands to engage in some chatting online, give this a try.
It's alternative, creative, and possibly a standard setting step to
securing IRC as we know it."
I gotta love slashdot, just before I decided to cave in and do homework, theres a post on slashdot involving downloading, irc AND encryption!
I am 06x0 and I challenge you to a duel, 0x90! You see, we are like brothers. If you stand on your head while reading my name, you see your name! However, only one of us can exist. So you must die! There can be only one!

... that way I'll be "too gross."
This sig is false.
Social Contract? I don't remember signing any Social Contract!
Terrorists! All those IRC Crypto people are terrorists!
All real, patriotic citizens are more than happy to let the government see, read and catalog everything they do.
All those "Privacy" nuts have something to hide.
I'll bet this 0x90 is learning to fly a plane while building bombs, writing free encryption programs, laundering money for the mob, selling drugs to toddlers, writing a violent video game, and *gasp* TRADING MP3S while on IRC with his fellow communist baby eaters!

"Live Free or Die." Don't like it? Then keep out of the USA
It's great! When the boss comes around the corner, you don't have to minimize the window! Screenshots of Invisible IRC are in the link below.
mund freud.
i just tried this, its very cool.
:(
although a bit laggy, and can get confusing on +a channels, where everyone is anonymous, heres an example
sup?
ello
this is working?
no
you broke it!
no ok
wtf
who are you?

nobody loves me
I love you
and with everyones host being anon.iip it must be hard to ban people, but its a very intresting idea

Yeah, that name is pretty gross.
p.s., If you don't get the joke, don't moderate this post.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
Quite true. As sure as my name is George W. Bush, President of the United States, I contantly worry that my 1337 hacking s7!11z will be be uncovered. Luckily I've got this encryption thingymigig on my laptop that protects my identity.
nop I don't get it.
