Project Hydra - Gathering Momentum

Project hydra is having a great start!

a few updates:

1)In active connections, you can keep it down to 10 or even less active connections. The flash presentation is wrong at that point!

2) stop posting keys in the comments. instead read the comments. people who are already connected will post their email. you can email them and exchange keys and IPs.
also, the link to the download again:

TCC shut down hub

The TCC have shut down the hub, right now i'm a bit nervous. nothing is certain until sunday since they have all gone home.

this should serfver as a warning to everyone. operating HUBS is dangerous.

we will continue with project hydra.


I will contact the beta testers today.

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.
