Oxymoron of the day: Consumer Helpful
TWO HP INSECURITY professionals are arranging to inform the Black Hat USA 2009 protection conference subsequent week about their options to build a browser-based darknet.
Darknets are overt, personal laptop or computer networks utilized for ultra-secure communications and file sharing.
Billy Hoffman, manager of HP's internet protection group,
Windows 7 Ultimate, and Matt Wood,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, senior security researcher at HP,
Office 2007 Professional Plus, have been using the brand new era of JavaScript engines in Chrome's V8 and Firefox's TraceMonkey to have out the encryption needed to create a darknet operate easily.
Apparently they've developed a prototype browser-based darknet called Veiled as evidence of idea.
Information Week said that the pair don't intend to release the software or make the source code available.
The goal of their presentation is to show how capable the internet browser has become as an application platform and to discuss the technical challenges they had to overcome to make their prototype.
The HP pair say that by making use of such tools it is a lot easier for people to create darknets. Since most people don't need to be that mysterious,
Office Standard 2007 Key, we guess that means criminals, terrorists, spooks,
Windows 7 Professional Key, investment bankers, governments, marketeers and other evil-doers will be able to use the technology.
Wood's system uses the server as a router. Veiled merges servers together so that clients on different servers can communicate directly.
Veiled shouldn't be seen as a replacement for an anonymity tool like Tor, said Wood. But it will help those wanting to create communities quickly and take them down quickly, he added. µ
