| 7 <h1>AnoNet, Take 2!</h1> | |
| 8 <p>Welcome to AnoNet! AnoNet is a highly decentralized darknet, aiming to create a censorship resistant network free from government influence and restrictions. AnoNet uses an IP network to accomplish this, as an alternative to the existing internet.</p> | |
| 9 | |
| 10 <p>You can read more information about AnoNet below, or on <a href="http://wiki.ucis.nl/Anonet">http://wiki.ucis.nl/Anonet</a>.</p> | |

| 68 <h2>Why to Join</h2> | |
| 69 <p>Note: There's now <a href="links">a separate page with links to many more reasons tojoin AnoNet</a></p> | |
| 70 | |
| 71 <p>You'd want to join AnoNet2 for the same reasons as you'd want to join | |
| 72 AnoNet1: to exercise your freedom of speech and action, without having | |
| 73 to worry too much about people who don't like you making too many | |
| 74 connections between your online and offline identities. Unlike AnoNet1, | |
| 75 we're not nazis about our rules, so if you don't feel the need to conceal | |
| 76 your real-life identity, we won't get all mad at you. Just please be | |
| 77 considerate of those who would like to stay anonymous ("pseudonomous," | |
| 78 technically), and everybody is happy. (For more discussion on this | |
| 79 topic in particular, you may want to check out <a href="anonimity">separate page | |
| 80 here</a>.</p> | |
| 81 | |
| 82 <p>A secondary reason for joining is to gain an opportunity to experiment | |
| 83 with internet technologies without breaking "the real thing." While | |
| 84 that's not the purpose behind AnoNet, it seems to be a common reason | |
| 85 for joining, and as long as you don't break too much with your fun, | |
| 86 you're more than welcome to have your fun here.</p> | |
| 87 | |
| 88 <p>You may want to join for the social scene (we even have our own social | |
| 89 network, although nobody uses it for what should be obvious reasons), | |
| 90 or you may want to create your own social scene. Again, you're not | |
| 91 looking at an "official" reason for joining, but nobody owns AnoNet, so | |
| 92 "official" is an artificial term 'round here.</p> | |
| 93 | |
| 94 <p>You may be looking for help with your Mathematics, Physics or Computer | |
| 95 Science homework. Due to AnoNet's nature, many of the guys who hang | |
| 96 out here have an academic background in one (or more) of the above, | |
| 97 and most are quite happy to help students.</p> | |
| 98 | |
| 99 <p>If you're interested in starting your own darknet, you can get plenty of | |
| 100 advice here. In addition, the AnoNet2 infrastructure is easy to reuse | |
| 101 for any other darknet, by design. (Technical ease of forking is a core | |
| 102 goal of AnoNet2. We avoid forks only by being good enough so nobody | |
| 103 feels the need to fork AnoNet2.)</p> | |
| 104 | |
| 105 <p>Finally, you may be getting a bit nervous at the amount of regulation | |
| 106 piling up around the world against the public Internet. Since the | |
| 107 "public" Internet is owned and managed by a number of multinational | |
| 108 corporations, it's fairly easy for governments to regulate it. Part of | |
| 109 the main purpose behind AnoNet has always been to get away from those | |
| 110 private control points, in order to create a truly public internet. | |
| 111 In AnoNet1, anybody who can regulate crzydmnd can regulate AnoNet1's | |
| 112 "official" wiki (and by extension, its resource "database"), and | |
| 113 anybody who can regulate Kaos can regulate AnoNet1's "official" client | |
| 114 port (and by extension, all new AnoNet1 users), so the private control | |
| 115 point problem hasn't quite been solved there. AnoNet2 is still largely | |
| 116 controlled by UFO and somerandomnick, but we have both technical and | |
| 117 administrative measures in place to ensure that as the network grows, | |
| 118 the two of us will no longer have enough control to destroy the network, | |
| 119 even if our own governments ever decide to try regulating us.</p> | |
| 120 | |
| 121 <h2>The AnoNet Advantage</h2> | |
| 122 | |
| 123 <p>You may be wondering what AnoNet buys you, relative to IcannNet. The answer obviously depends on what you tend to do on IcannNet. Here are some points to note:</p> | |
| 124 | |
| 125 <h2>Read Headlines</h3> | |
| 126 <p>If you only read the headlines from your local news (without clicking | |
| 127 through to interesting stories, etc.), your anonymity on AnoNet is | |
| 128 actually significantly _worse_ than on IcannNet, because you're giving | |
| 129 away geolocation information that your IcannNet ISP already knows but | |
| 130 that AnoNet probably doesn't.</p> | |
| 131 | |
| 132 <h3>Read News</h3> | |
| 133 <p>Once you start clicking around for "interesting" stories, you're | |
| 134 giving away information that your ISP probably wouldn't already know. | |
| 135 However, if you read local news it's probably still wise to avoid AnoNet. | |
| 136 (You can still use tor directly.)</p> | |
| 137 | |
| 138 <h3>Just Browse</h3> | |
| 139 <p>If you just surf aimlessly for hours, you are giving away a lot of | |
| 140 profiling information to your ISP. With the AnoNet proxies, you can | |
| 141 avoid giving your ISP any of this information. (You are still giving the | |
| 142 same information to the AnoNet proxies if you don't use SSL tunneling, | |
| 143 but AnoNet proxies can't connect the profiling information with your | |
| 144 real-life identity, while your ISP (and anybody who can get your ISP | |
| 145 records) certainly can.) Surfing with AnoNet also means that you don't | |
| 146 need to worry about your government filtering policies getting in your | |
| 147 way while you surf.</p> | |
| 148 | |
| 149 <h3>Browse WikiLeaks</h3> | |
| 150 <p>If you're located in a totalitarian regime, your ISP may not allow you | |
| 151 to access WikiLeaks. Even if you are located in a less totalitarian | |
| 152 regime, your government may monitor your WikiLeaks browsing habits. | |
| 153 AnoNet allows you to browse WikiLeaks without your ISP preventing or | |
| 154 monitoring your visits.</p> | |
| 155 | |
| 156 <h3>Do Research</h3> | |
| 157 <p>AnoNet shines here. Governments can force Google to cough up your | |
| 158 search history, but only if Google can figure out which searches you're | |
| 159 responsible for. If you use Scroogle (HTTPS) through one of AnoNet's | |
| 160 HTTP proxies, the proxy doesn't know what you're looking for, Scroogle | |
| 161 has no clue who you are, and by the time the search makes its way to | |
| 162 Google, connecting it to you is all but hopeless.</p> | |
| 163 | |
| 164 <h3>Share Files</h3> | |
| 165 <p>BitTorrent doesn't hide your IP address, so seeding files for | |
| 166 http://www.thepiratebay.org/ is not necessarily safe. BitTorrent | |
| 167 on AnoNet doesn't hide your IP address either, but the authorities can't | |
| 168 easily connect your AnoNet IP address with your IcannNet IP address | |
| 169 (in order to get your ISP to reveal your identity).</p> | |
| 170 | |
| 171 <h3>Speak Out</h3> | |
| 172 <p>If you know something that you'd like other people to know, and you fear retribution from those who would prefer for others not to know what you know, traditional IcannNet forums can be forced to turn over your IP address, which can then identify you. If your email address is with Gmail, <a href="http://mirror.wikileaks.info/wiki/Gmail_may_hand_over_IP_addresses_of_journalists/">you have other problems</a>. On AnoNet, it's comparatively easy to cover your tracks, in such a way that even your own peers would have a hard time figuring out who said whatever it was.</p> | |
| 173 | |
| 174 <h3>Blog</h3> | |
| 175 <p>If your blog is easy to connect to your offline identity (say, it | |
| 176 has your name and address, and/or dwells primarily on local issues), | |
| 177 then moving it to AnoNet obviously won't gain you much anonymity. | |
| 178 On the other hand, if it's "just another random blog," AnoNet has the | |
| 179 potential to keep it that way. For example, if you like to tell readers | |
| 180 about your experience with various products, you always run the risk of | |
| 181 having to defend yourself against a lawsuit if a corporate lawyer decides | |
| 182 his client would be better served if your critical review went away. | |
| 183 Now, since defending yourself in any court of law is never a trivial | |
| 184 matter (since the judges in nearly all first-world countries assume | |
| 185 that you know all the laws, regulations, relevant case histories, | |
| 186 civil procedures, etc. - you know, the stuff you'd normally spend | |
| 187 years in law school learning how to make sense of), you may decide | |
| 188 that publishing your blog on IcannNet simply isn't worth the risk. | |
| 189 On AnoNet, your blog is pretty well-protected against civil liability | |
| 190 lawsuits, since before a lawyer can sue you, he first has to find you. | |
| 191 (While there are legal mechanisms in place in many countries to allow a | |
| 192 lawsuit to get started even when the defendant is unknown, it should be | |
| 193 pretty obvious that a court will need to find out who you are before it | |
| 194 can meaningfully involve you in a case. If you've done your homework, | |
| 195 the cost of finding you will far outweigh the benefit, especially if the | |
| 196 plaintiff knows he has no real case against you and was simply hoping to | |
| 197 intimidate you.) In addition, the company hosting your IcannNet blog | |
| 198 almost certainly allows itself to delete (any part of) your blog in | |
| 199 its own sole discretion without even notifying you. That potentially | |
| 200 allows a lawyer with an upset client to take a shortcut and bypass you | |
| 201 entirely, simply "asking" your blog hosting provider to remove (that part | |
| 202 of) your blog. To avoid having to activate its own lawyers, your blog | |
| 203 hosting provider may very well decide to pull (that part of) your blog, | |
| 204 especially if you're paying little or nothing to host your blog. In fact, | |
| 205 if your blog is on its own domain, there's yet another canidate for the | |
| 206 weakest link, in that anybody who wants your blog gone can simply appeal | |
| 207 to your domain's registrar. (Recall the WikiLeaks case, for example.) | |
| 208 On AnoNet, you can easily host your own blog, forcing attacks against | |
| 209 your hosting arrangements to go through you (or at least through _all_ | |
| 210 of your peers). Your domain is even harder to attack, since wiping your | |
| 211 domain off of a single resdb repository would only prevent one AnoNet | |
| 212 user from seeing it (and a simple git rollback would fix the situation | |
| 213 even for that individual user). Moreover, the deletion would quickly | |
| 214 propagate throughout AnoNet, potentially raising alarms everywhere. | |
| 215 (Even if only a single user notices the attack and re-adds your domain, | |
| 216 his own re-addition will quickly propagate throughout AnoNet, restoring | |
| 217 access to your domain for everybody.)</p> | |
| 218 | |
| 219 <h3>Publish</h3> | |
| 220 <p>If you thought publishing blogs was tricky, try publishing a book. | |
| 221 ("Alms for Jihad" comes to mind as one obvious example, where the | |
| 222 publisher went so far as to delete the book from its own database and | |
| 223 buried the copyright.) While physical books may not be so simple to | |
| 224 publish on AnoNet (although you can certainly raise awareness of them | |
| 225 by speaking out about them on AnoNet), e-books enjoy considerable | |
| 226 anti-censorship advantages on AnoNet.</p> | |
| 227 | |
| 228 <h3>Teach</h3> | |
| 229 <p>You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the | |
| 230 authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world | |
| 231 countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer | |
| 232 is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) | |
| 233 AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being | |
| 234 able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture.</p> | |
| 235 | |
| 236 <h3>Report</h3> | |
| 237 <p>You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts | |
| 238 of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report | |
| 239 something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long | |
| 240 trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to | |
| 241 a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor directly. (WikiLeaks | |
| 242 over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're | |
| 243 worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. | |
| 244 AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols | |
| 245 is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you | |
| 246 have <a href="http://www.torproject.org/">tor</a>, <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/">i2p</a>, | |
| 247 <a href="http://freenetproject.org/">Freenet</a>, <a href="http://gnunet.org/">GNUnet</a>, | |
| 248 and others.)</p> | |
| 249 | |
| 250 <h2>Why Not to Join</h2> | |
| 251 <p>If you're looking for a ready-made community, where you just show up and | |
| 252 "browse," AnoNet (either 1 or 2) is probably not quite what you're after. | |
| 253 The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. | |
| 254 Of course, that's not to say you'll have to build everything from | |
| 255 scratch, but if you want to be happy here, you're best off bringing | |
| 256 your creativity along rather than leaving it behind when you join. | |
| 257 (If you've been around darknets before, you're probably quite familiar | |
| 258 with "design by committee." On AnoNet, you're more than welcome to | |
| 259 invite a committee to discuss anything you want, but you don't have to | |
| 260 organize one before doing anything. If (you think) you already know | |
| 261 what you're doing, just "build it and they will come.")</p> | |
| 262 | |
| 263 <h2>What You Can Do</h2> | |
| 264 <p>See the <a href="services">Services</a> page</p> | |
| 265 | |
| 266 <h2>What You Can Contribute</h2> | |
| 267 <p>Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on | |
| 268 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking | |
| 269 at a bit of a moving (and highly subjective) target. You're more than | |
| 270 welcome to contribute anything you want, and if it's interesting and/or | |
| 271 useful, it'll probably attract a following. That said, here are a number | |
| 272 of things that would benefit the AnoNet as a whole:</p> | |
| 273 | |
| 274 <h3>Client Ports</h3> | |
| 275 <p>When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a | |
| 276 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for | |
| 277 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the | |
| 278 local government decides to try regulating it).</p> | |
| 279 | |
| 280 <h3>Public Email Services</h3> | |
| 281 <p>Nomius runs a public mail service, and lex is working on another one. | |
| 282 While more than 2 public mail services clearly aren't necessary at this | |
| 283 stage, too many is better than too few.</p> | |
| 284 | |
| 285 <h3>IRC Servers</h3> | |
| 286 <p>IRC on AnoNet2 isn't one big network under centralized control. | |
| 287 Rather, anybody who wants runs his own IRC (or other chat) server, and | |
| 288 links whatever channels he wants to channels on other servers, using a | |
| 289 collection of relay bots. (Right now, UFO, pragmo and SRN field relays, | |
| 290 and the scalability problems are becoming visible. How relay bots may | |
| 291 want to deal with this is still a topic for open discussion. Feel free | |
| 292 to join in the discussion, or just do your own thing and let everyone | |
| 293 else be damned.)</p> | |
| 294 | |
| 295 <p>Update: UFO implemented udpmsg3 (inspired by r101's udpmsg protocol), | |
| 296 and UFO, SRN, sevilNatas and lex all have IRC servers connecting to the | |
| 297 udpmsg3 "cloud" now. The primary advantages of udpmsg3 are that it's | |
| 298 truly decentralized, very difficult to censor, fails over gracefully in | |
| 299 case of hardware/software failures without dropping messages and without | |
| 300 duplicating messages, and avoids the long relay chains that normally | |
| 301 take up half your screen.</p> | |

| 303 <h3>Outbound HTTP Proxies</h3> | |
| 304 <p>SRN runs three right now and ryuk runs one, but that means between the | |
| 305 two of them they can snoop on all HTTP traffic from AnoNet2 to IcannNet. | |
| 306 Having more proxies gives you an alternative to blindly trusting SRN | |
| 307 and ryuk not to sell your click-through data to Google, invert the order | |
| 308 of search results to your queries, and inject malicious JavaScript into | |
| 309 your Hotmail homepage.</p> | |

| 311 <h3>IcannNet mailinglist Proxies</h3> | |
| 312 <p>AnoNet uses a lot of software in new and interesting ways, so AnoNet | |
| 313 users find "accidental features" quite often. If there were an easy | |
| 314 way to join the official mailing lists for some of this software, AnoNet | |
| 315 users would probably submit many more bug reports, resulting in better | |
| 316 quality software being available for us.</p> | |
| 317 | |
| 318 <h2>See Also</h2> | |
| 319 <p>If AnoNet sounds good but not perfect, don't despair: there are a number | |
| 320 of other projects that may interest you either instead of - or possibly | |
| 321 in addition to - AnoNet.</p> | |

| 323 <h3><a href="http://www.dn42.net/">dn42</a></h3> | |
| 324 <p>dn42 is another highly decentralized darknet, and it's also quite | |
| 325 friendly. The main differences are that it doesn't claim anonymity as | |
| 326 a goal, and that it's significantly larger than AnoNet. A number of | |
| 327 AnoNet members are also active in dn42.</p> | |

| 329 <h3><a href="http://www.vanet.org/">VAnet</a></h3> | |
| 330 <p>VAnet is a strange animal. It's a highly <i>centralized</i> darknet, making | |
| 331 the curious claim that centralization actually aids in privacy protection. | |
| 332 It's still quite small, but it should scale extremely well from a | |
| 333 technical perspective, due to its centralization. VAnet's official IRC | |
| 334 is part of the AnoNet IRC monster for now, so the easiest way to find out | |
| 335 more about VAnet is actually just to join AnoNet IRC and ask about VAnet.</p> | |

| 337 <h3><a href="http://ix.ucis.nl/">UCIS IX</a></h3> | |
| 338 <p>The UCIS Internet eXchange is an attempt to link a bunch of darknets | |
| 339 together. If you connect using UFO's CP, you're already on the UCIS IX.</p> | |
