Where is the Replacement for the JAP Anon-Proxy?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 17, 2003 @04:30PM from the for-anonymous-cowards-everywhere dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Now that it has been a month since the University of Dresden's Java Anonymous Proxy was back-doored via court order, what is the status of forked projects? Have any universities or individuals in countries with more respect for freedom taken the initiative to provide a truly anonymous alternative? Could a Freenet/P2P type system, with plausible deniability, be developed from the remnants of the JAP program? I would be willing to operate a mix if I could restrict the bandwidth usage and use a SOCKS proxy for my P2P apps. Could a phoenix rise from the ashes of JAP which delivered a 1-2 punch to censorship and media conglomerate entrapment?"

JAP isn't back-doored by Elias+Serge · 2003-09-17 17:06 · Score: 3, Interesting

ATM, the JAP programs's Crime Detection Feature has been removed. German Police are appealing the isuue, but it is currently secure.

  Admittedly I haven't been keeping up with this... But if the original back door was not announced, and the leak started a furor; what are the chances that any other circumvention will be announced? That being the case isn't it as good as non-functional now?
  NOTHING against the developers mind you!
