Computer A sends spoofed UDP packet containing encrypted" data. Packet goes over network. Computer B sniffs network data to find unknown packet that its not expecting and doesnt know the ip address of. Computer B finds packet by sniffing, and looks at unique codes, in the packets.
So, given the information that is here, there is in no doubt in my mind works PERFECTLY across a local area network, granted
A) network is hubbed B) MAC broadcasting is used (switched network) C) every client arp poisons (switched network)(kills legitimate traffic) or D) you use the specific clients MAC address (switched network)(which is no longer anonymous)
Now, every situation here works, but its done like a complete jackass. You obviously brought this up because you believe this could somehow be used to create a "secure" torrent distrobution network.. I am sorry to inform you that it wont work, at all, period, using this method.
Are the routers outside of your home network supposed to magically recognize these "codes" and then route to the secret computer that these codes refer to? Or how about when the smart ISPs who drop packets with IP adresses that dont belong anywhere near them? Shit out of luck I guess.
And this is all assuming this is the protocol alone.
Now, if its inside an SSL tunnel? Why the fuck not just use an SSL tunnel? Its encrypted, so people (or "the man") cant see what youre sending. So congradulations, youre hiding your super anonymous data.
This type of tactic will just encourage more rediculous law suits that have no reason to be filed. They will just say "Hello web site that gives out links to torrents. You let people connect to your server with a fancy tunnel that allows them to send super secret forged UDP packets containing data that might somehow be ours, no? How about we sue you so you give us your SSL tunnel logs, and well track those IP addresses and sue them for possibly downloading material that is copyrighted, even though we can't directly prove it." Thanks for destroying the judicial system.
Not to mention how fucking SLOW this would be if actually implemented. Best case scenario, you get to anonymously share your porn at LAN parties. Don't want anyone knowing that YOU like that kinky shit. Sorry if I crushed your dreams...

So how the hell does this work... Lemme see.
