Hub Will Stay Open

First I would like to thank all the beta testers for offering your help.

we'll start testing Project Hydra tommorow around noon and we expect to release it a few hours later.

so if all goes well:

Project Hydra Will be released In less than 12 Hours!

in the meantime the hub will stay open for a while longer, so the transition will be smooth.

Important Note

It is important that everyone understand that the DC protocol is not safe for us to use inside the technion.
Because DC relies on HUBS to operate, it is very very easy for the TCC to shut the DC down.
Project Hydra will use a Program which will use a Network Without HUBS! so no action by the TCC can shut us down.
Please do not be tempted to continue using DC.
If we continue to use DC we will always be weak and vulnerable, while Poject hydra will make us Invincible. (because it also encrypts the transfers).

think about that. Invincible. don't you want to be part of that?

Project Hydra

Ok guys, Project Hydra is ready but needs testing on thursday or maybe friday.

don't worry! everyone will take part and will be able to connect. DC hub will remain open until most of the people have moved to Project Hydra.

Sorry for the delay and see you thursday!

-Moonbase.Commander

p.s.

for beta testing I will need about 10 volunteers so if you will be available on thursday and friday to test out the new network.
please send an email with your name and phone number to technion.hub@gmail.com

Project Hydra - Back from the Dead!

After all hope was lost, Project Hydra has risen from the ashes!

The hub WILL close down, but in it's place there will come a new Ruler of the file sharing.

Right now i'm going to do some laundry (now you can go there and wonder: "is that guy Moonbase.Commander?" :)

but later I will upload the details.

it will not be simple at first but it will be secure and most important of all:

TCC Shutdown Proof certified by Moonbase.Commander

I will update the blog later today with the instruction and details.

HUB GOING DOWN

DUE TO SECURITY CONCERNS (MAINLY MY ASS BEING KICKED BY THE TCC) THE HUB WILL GO DOWN ON 04.06.07 IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WILL NOT HAPPEN:

1)SOMEONE WITH NETWORKING KNOWLEDGE FINDS A WAY TO TUNNEL THROUGH THE FIREWALL IN THE FARMS.

2)SOMEONE ELSE TAKES THE RISK AND RUNS THE HUB.

I'M TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS AS WELL AND WORKING HARD ON IT. BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RISK FOR VERY LONG, NOT WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS HUB.

THIS IS YOUR BURDEN AS WELL! FIND PEOPLE WITH NETOWRKING EXPERIENCE AND HAVE THEM CONTACT ME AT:

technion.hub@gmail.com

IF THE TUNNELING WILL NOT WORK THE SERVER --WILL-- GO DOWN.

Blocking in farms and labs

still no resolution to the blocking of the DC in farms and labs, but were working on it.

If you have experience in networks and feel you can help beyond changing a port please contact us and help!

New port

Hi guys (and bumbelbee :)

if you are trying to connect from inside farms or from outside the technion try using this address instead:

technionhub.gotdns.org:5040

this might not work... still experimental! :)

please let us know if it works: technion.hub@gmail.com

Project Hydra

Project Hydra

A plan has been set in motion to create a system where no action by the TCC, whatsoever, will result in either the shutdown of the DC hub in the Technion or actions against the admin (I've got to cover my ass too if you don't mind :)

soon you will know more, but for now what you need to know is that you should get StrongDC.

get it here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/strongdc/sdc203.rar

StrongDC is by far the best DC client and will ensure you can connect to the Hydra Project Easily.
You don't have to get StrongDC, but it is recommended.

The revolution will not be televised. it will be shared through the DC.

Launch of the DC hub.

as you might know, the old DC hub has been shut down by the TCC.

While the cause of this may be unclear, one thing is clear - it is not coming back up.

as a response we are creating a new hub:

TechnionHub.gotdns.org

Right now this is run from a PC with limited power, so performence might be not be really good right now.


Later on it is possible that we would like to start passing the hat around, and collecting donations for some upgrades but for now we are doing our best to get free parts from friends and family.

If you have one or more of these things to donate it would be great:

-a PC that is stronger than a Pentium 3 733 mhz
-RAM for pentium 3 series. (RAM freq. 133 mhz.)
-Ethernet HUB/Router/Switch
-KVM switch
-Power supply unit for PC
-PCI Ethernet card

Alot of these things are just things most of you have lying around so do something good with it - donate it!

To donate stuff contact us at technion.hub@gmail.com

Some important notes about the hub:
-Sharing copyrighted material is prohibited.
-Tell everyone about the hub.
-This hub has nothing to do with old hub, and is not run by the same people.

Happy Harish,
-Moonbase.Commander
