MIT Creates Tor Alternative That Floods Networks With Fake Data
"An anonymous reader writes with word that MIT researchers "created an alternative to Tor, a network messaging system called Vuvuzela that pollutes the network with dummy data so the NSA won't know who's talking to who." Initial tests show the systems overhead adding a 44-second delay, but the network can work fine and preserve anonymity even it has more than 50% of servers compromised." -- source: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/12/13/1522224 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
Holy crap. A signal-to-noise ratio so high that messages take 44 seconds to be received. That's misguided genius at it's best LOL -- Securely sent with Tutanota. It's good, you should try it: https://tutanota.com 14. Dec 2015 09:50 by fracpete(a)waikato.ac.nz:

I won't be looking to play Quake on that any time soon. That's even worse than Freenet :P On 14 December 2015 at 09:53, Eric Light <eric(a)ericlight.com> wrote:
