Hi,
I was wondering what the plan is for practial darknet in china. In the
west it looks like a practial IP based darknet i possible where a lot of
legal communication is encrypted and ISP's are not that government
friendly. The laws that have been passed have been in the style of ban the
application, or prosecute the little people. But for now it seems that ISP
are independent enough that a IP darknet is possible.
But what is the reality in china? What kind of link management is done, I
don't believe that darknet would be possible using IP, since it is
possible to see that a node is using it. It is just too easy to see that a
host have many encrypted udp connection.
So how is it imagened that freenet should work? Should the steganography
go through skype, or other messaging services? If it is phone or video,
how can you connect to multiple host? You first call one, and then you
call another? Can the network cope with this type of connections?
What about instant messaging? Here you can talk to a lot of people, but it
looks weird if you do it 24/7.
What about mobile phones, usb keys and the like?
What kind of application is it possible to run on each type of network? I
would think it could be some type of textmessages, without too much info.
So is there any chinese out there, that can post to this list and tell us
how the reality look in china (in english ;)?
Are there any frost forums which have chinese activity?
