Hacking Vodka

Nothing new most spirits are filtered through some type of activated carbon to clean them up. Even spirt Ive made in a small 20 liter still that produces 5 liters of spirit cleans up well if I use good carbon and filter it a slow rate.
Why did'nt they do gas cromotography to test the vodka ? like us profesionals do when we test our own grog and Where thier tasters trained vodka judges?.
If you really wanna hack vodka look here <URL:http://www.spiritsunlimited.co.nz/>
Most vokda is made with some form of cheap fermantable like grain,beets,or sugar basicaly if thier is a surpluss of a fermentable and its cheap you can make vodka out of it.What makes it good is the downstream processing like distillation processes and filtration processes. On a comercial level they use even ferment milk derived whey to produce the vodka wash and they distill the vodka from that.
Just wait till the MPAA and RIAA uses the FCC to fine computer users just like they get the DOJ and FBI to riad Direct Connect Hub operators houses again

Eric they could always use Ants
P2P to do this it offers point to point and end to end
encryption,multisource,resume and it uses IRC for bootstraping.There
is also a JETI Jabber IM version
of Ants that uses your Jabber buddylist for bootstraping.The only
problem is that Ants and JETI are written in JAVA so will the noob even
have Sun Java installed.
Im an Australian that lives in a US East Coast Ski Area (Vermont) and quite a few people have asked if Im from Austria when they are told Im Australian very funny. Sure we have snow in Australia but its for about 2-3 months in one area that has small montains and mostly done with snowmaking. Here in New england they get 5 months of snow .

Ants Project description Abstract The main problems of the 2-nd generation p2p nets (as well as the 1-st one) are two: the complete lack of privacy and data protection and the lack of structured queries. Doing queries over the net we can see who's connected and what he's sharing. This is not acceptable if we care about our privacy... furthermore we usually have many problems in finding what we are looking for: queries support in common p2p system is usually not-stuctured and exact text-matching based, so we cannot exploit SQL-like features (join and so on...) over the net data-set. This project tries to resolve both the problems.
The privacy problem It faces the privacy one breaking the ebsence of p2p... I mean a connection is not anymore point 2 point in the strict sense... the peers are virtual peers over a virtual net, so when we are requiring a resource over the net, our request is routed through many points utill it reach our peer. The peers are not anymore identified by ip... the have a unique ID produced hashing infos from their time and their location (this yields a unique hash). So a client now knows only the ips of its neighbours (the other peers directly connected to it), but it doesn't know their ID, as only the same node knows its ID. So what about routing, how can a node route a message if it doesn't know where the destination is? Simple... a node will know which are the "best" direction to route a message to, but it will not know where precisely another node is. The routing protocol has been developed over studies on ants behaviour... ants do not know the precise location of their hive, they simply follow a track... the same happends in this system. So the more messages follow a track the more that track will be "strong", if a track produces many failures it'll fade out and it won't be followed anymore. This way we can achieve privacy over our identity, but what about the informations sent? They have to route through many peers so how can we protect 'em? The protection is realized at 2 levels... low level (against man-in-the-middle extern to our net) by crypting communication between each couple of directly linked points of the net, high level (against internal threats) crypting the communication between the two end points. At both level the security is granted using a DH-KA and DES or AES (negotiated at the beginning).
The queries problem Another solution has been found for the query problem. Each query is distributed (in a non deterministic and sequential way) over a part of the net. It is processed by each node it passes and at last it is returned to the source following the shortest path. Each node can process operations more complex than the simple text-matching: we can support pseudo high level SQL-queries over the data-set reppresented by our partial explored net.
Efficiency issues We talked about a wide spread net that comprises very etherogeneous kind of nodes (lan connection as well as 56k) how can we support efficiency? The routing protocol is studied to find the best path to route a message... but if the path is not present we cannot find it. So we have to create a well structured net with a sufficient number of "routing point" (I mean pseudo server point with high speed connection and high connectivity (about 30 peers connected). The peers don't need to know the address of these points... we can structure the service creating few (hidden) routing points and many access points. At the startup one can choose if becoming an access point or a simple peer, every group of people can also create their own net with routing points and simple peers (a very scalable system). Computer simulation over the routing protocol have shown its efficiency over both the cases: with or without many routing points... in practice the virtual net is a sort of neural network that learns during its life and distributes the traffic in the best way.
About the IRC based connection system Is there any threat due to the IRC based connection system? Is it dangerous that my IP a

Here is a proxy chaining p2p that uses ID hashes instead of IP to transfer data it also has point to point and end to end encryption.IPs are used for bootstaping from IRC and seting strategic routing points on the network.So they will have to make a law that first bans you from even being on a p2p network and also a law that bans you from proxying data so it would mean they would have to ban every ISP also under those type of laws.

Ants P2P is designed to protect the identity of its users by using a series of middle-men nodes to transfer files from the source to destination. As additional security, transfers are Point to Point secured and EndPoint to EndPoint secured.
1. Distributed search Engine - Each node performs periodic random queries over the network and keeps an indexed table of the results it gets. When you do a query you will get files with or without sources. If you get files simply indexed (without a source), you can schedule the download. As soon as Ants finds a valid source, it will begin the download. This will also solve the problem of unprocessed queries. This way you will get almost all the files in the network that match your query with a single search.

The good thing about mesh networks and leaving things unsecured is that you can fileshare without much worry from the RIAA becuse you can always claim that it wasnt you downloading from a IP it was someone hooking into your wireless router.Justin Frankel the godfather of distributed P2P file sharing has also sugested that it should be done on his own blog .

1) ANts supports point to point encription (AES 128 - DH 512)
2) ANts supports endpoint encryption ( " " )
3) ANts supports multipath routing for packets
4) ANts supports preferential connections (to create a fast backbone and
to let everyone going faster)
5) ANts supports PARTIAL DOWNLOADS and it has a unique and very
innovative system to do this (in theory it could be better than
bittorrent inspite of routing overhead and speedes reached on LAN showed
this!)
6) ANts supports AUTOSEARCH SOURCES function for active and interrupted
donwloads, if your donwload pass in the interrupted box this DOES NOT
MEAN that you have lost it... it is just paused and it will restart as
soon as possible!
7) ANts can find partial files through normal queries or queries by hash
since version 0.4.1 beta!
8) ANts supports FULL TEXT indexing and do searches over full file
content and FULL FILE PATH LOCATION.
9) ANts will (perhaps) support instant messaging integration
10) ANts IS NOT a simple IRC client
11) ANts relies on ad-hoc network theory as well as MUTE
12) ANts is strongly beta... this means it is not intended to be dummies
probed!
13) ANts releases ARE NOT backward compatible, so if you can't find
peers you probably has an old version! Use Java Web Start to be sure to
have te newest one.
14) ANts exploits IRC CTCP commands for initial ip exchange!
15) ANts supports internal ip exchage during and after your first
connection.
16) ANts queries are cripted in an asymmetric way. This means YOU are
the ONLY who can read you queries results. Everyone can read the query
string but this approach reduces drastically the potential power of a
node in trasit queries analisys.
17) ANts uses TWO consecutive ports (Like HTTP does) default are 4567 &
4568 but you can change the lower getting automatically changed the
highest. If you are NATTED you don't need two non consecutive ports,
cause these ports are used ONLY for incoming requests. Your own requests
are made on any free port, so you don't have to care, it can take a
little bit more to obtain your first connection if you are natted, but
ANts can work with natted peers as well as with unnatted ones without
ANY difference
17) Internal protocol is not harmed by nats and firewall... so once you
get a connection it doesn't make sense saying "I'm natted my queries are
not working!".
