+ − 104 Finally, you may be getting a bit nervous at the amount of regulation
163
+ − 105 piling up around the world against the public Internet. Since the
+ − 106 "public" Internet is owned and managed by a number of multinational
+ − 107 corporations, it's fairly easy for governments to regulate it. Part of
+ − 108 the main purpose behind AnoNet has always been to get away from those
+ − 109 private control points, in order to create a truly public internet.
+ − 110 In AnoNet1, anybody who can regulate crzydmnd can regulate AnoNet1's
+ − 111 "official" wiki (and by extension, its resource "database"), and
+ − 112 anybody who can regulate Kaos can regulate AnoNet1's "official" client
+ − 113 port (and by extension, all new AnoNet1 users), so the private control
+ − 114 point problem hasn't quite been solved there. AnoNet2 is still largely
+ − 115 controlled by UFO and somerandomnick, but we have both technical and
+ − 116 administrative measures in place to ensure that as the network grows,

163
+ − 148 =head2 The AnoNet Advantage
+ − 149
+ − 150 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:
+ − 151
+ − 152 =over
+ − 153
+ − 154 =item Read Headlines
+ − 155
+ − 156 If you only read the headlines from your local news (without clicking
+ − 157 through to interesting stories, etc.), your anonymity on AnoNet is
+ − 158 actually significantly _worse_ than on IcannNet, because you're giving
+ − 159 away geolocation information that your IcannNet ISP already knows but
+ − 160 that AnoNet probably doesn't.
+ − 161
+ − 162 =item Read News
+ − 163
+ − 164 Once you start clicking around for "interesting" stories, you're giving away information that your ISP probably wouldn't already know. However, if you read local news it's probably still wise to avoid AnoNet. (You can still use tor directly.)
+ − 165
+ − 166 =item Do Research
+ − 167
+ − 168 AnoNet shines here. Governments can force Google to cough up your search history, but only if Google can figure out which searches you're responsible for. If you use Scroogle (HTTPS) through one of AnoNet's HTTP proxies, the proxy doesn't know what you're looking for, Scroogle has no clue who you are, and by the time the search makes its way to Google, connecting it to you is all but hopeless.
+ − 169
+ − 170 =item Share Files
+ − 171
+ − 172 BitTorrent doesn't hide your IP address, so seeding files for L<TPB|http://www.thepiratebay.org/> is not necessarily safe. BitTorrent on AnoNet doesn't hide your IP address either, but the authorities can't easily connect your AnoNet IP address with your IcannNet IP address (in order to get your ISP to reveal your identity).
+ − 173
+ − 174 =item Speak Out
+ − 175
+ − 176 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. 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.
+ − 177
+ − 178 =item Blog
+ − 179
+ − 180 If your blog is easy to connect to your offline identity (say, it
+ − 181 has your name and address, and/or dwells primarily on local issues),
+ − 182 then moving it to AnoNet obviously won't gain you much anonymity.
+ − 183 On the other hand, if it's "just another random blog," AnoNet has the
+ − 184 potential to keep it that way. For example, if you like to tell readers
+ − 185 about your experience with various products, you always run the risk of
+ − 186 having to defend yourself against a lawsuit if a corporate lawyer decides
+ − 187 his client would be better served if your critical review went away.
+ − 188 Now, since defending yourself in any court of law is never a trivial
+ − 189 matter (since the judges in nearly all first-world countries assume
+ − 190 that you know all the laws, regulations, relevant case histories,
+ − 191 civil procedures, etc. - you know, the stuff you'd normally spend
+ − 192 years in law school learning how to make sense of), you may decide
+ − 193 that publishing your blog on IcannNet simply isn't worth the risk.
+ − 194 On AnoNet, your blog is pretty well-protected against civil liability
+ − 195 lawsuits, since before a lawyer can sue you, he first has to find you.
+ − 196 (While there are legal mechanisms in place in many countries to allow a
+ − 197 lawsuit to get started even when the defendant is unknown, it should be
+ − 198 pretty obvious that a court will need to find out who you are before it
+ − 199 can meaningfully involve you in a case. If you've done your homework,
+ − 200 the cost of finding you will far outweigh the benefit, especially if the
+ − 201 plaintiff knows he has no real case against you and was simply hoping to
+ − 202 intimidate you.) In addition, the company hosting your IcannNet blog
+ − 203 almost certainly allows itself to delete (any part of) your blog in
+ − 204 its own sole discretion without even notifying you. That potentially
+ − 205 allows a lawyer with an upset client to take a shortcut and bypass you
+ − 206 entirely, simply "asking" your blog hosting provider to remove (that part
+ − 207 of) your blog. To avoid having to activate its own lawyers, your blog
+ − 208 hosting provider may very well decide to pull (that part of) your blog,
+ − 209 especially if you're paying little or nothing to host your blog. In fact,
+ − 210 if your blog is on its own domain, there's yet another canidate for the
+ − 211 weakest link, in that anybody who wants your blog gone can simply appeal
+ − 212 to your domain's registrar. (Recall the WikiLeaks case, for example.)
+ − 213 On AnoNet, you can easily host your own blog, forcing attacks against
+ − 214 your hosting arrangements to go through you (or at least through _all_
+ − 215 of your peers). Your domain is even harder to attack, since wiping your
+ − 216 domain off of a single resdb repository would only prevent one AnoNet
+ − 217 user from seeing it (and a simple git rollback would fix the situation
+ − 218 even for that individual user). Moreover, the deletion would quickly
+ − 219 propagate throughout AnoNet, potentially raising alarms everywhere.
+ − 220 (Even if only a single user notices the attack and re-adds your domain,
+ − 221 his own re-addition will quickly propagate throughout AnoNet, restoring
+ − 222 access to your domain for everybody.)
+ − 223
+ − 224 =item Publish
+ − 225
+ − 226 If you thought publishing blogs was tricky, try publishing a book. ("Alms for Jihad" comes to mind as one obvious example, where the publisher went so far as to delete the book from its own database and buried the copyright.) While physical books may not be so simple to publish on AnoNet (although you can certainly raise awareness of them by speaking out about them on AnoNet), e-books enjoy considerable anti-censorship advantages on AnoNet.
+ − 227
+ − 228 =item Teach
+ − 229
+ − 230 You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture.
+ − 231
+ − 232 =item Report
+ − 233
+ − 234 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor. (WikiLeaks over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you have L<tor|http://www.torproject.org/>, L<i2p|http://www.i2p2.de/>, L<Freenet|http://freenetproject.org/>, L<GNUnet|http://gnunet.org/>, and others.)

+ − 345 =head2 What You Can Contribute
+ − 346
+ − 347 Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on
+ − 348 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking
+ − 349 at a bit of a moving target. You're more than welcome to contribute
+ − 350 anthing you want, and if it's interesting and/or useful, it'll probably
+ − 351 attract a following. That said, here are a number of things that would
+ − 352 benefit the AnoNet as a whole:
+ − 353
+ − 354 =over
+ − 355
+ − 356 =item Client Ports
+ − 357
+ − 358 When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a
+ − 359 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for
+ − 360 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the
+ − 361 local government decides to try regulating it).
+ − 362
+ − 363 =item Public Email Services
+ − 364
+ − 365 Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has
+ − 366 to set up his own mailserver. AnoNet1 used to have a public email
+ − 367 service so people could get email addresses without running their own
+ − 368 mail servers, but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although the
+ − 369 AnoNet1 Web continues to advertise it). SRN is working on setting up
+ − 370 such an animal on AnoNet2, but competition here is a good thing.
+ − 371
+ − 372 =item IRC Servers
+ − 373
98
+ − 374 IRC on AnoNet2 isn't one big network under centralized control.
153
+ − 375 Rather, anybody who wants runs his own IRC (or other chat) server,
+ − 376 and links whatever channels he wants to channels on other servers,
+ − 377 using a collection of relay bots. (Right now, UFO and pragmo field
+ − 378 relays, and the scalability problems are becoming visible. How relay
+ − 379 bots may want to deal with this is still a topic for open discussion.
+ − 380 Feel free to join in the discussion, or just do your own thing and let
+ − 381 everyone else be damned.)
55
+ − 382
+ − 383 =item Outbound HTTP Proxies
+ − 384
98
+ − 385 SRN runs two right now and ryuk runs one, but that means between the two
+ − 386 of them they can snoop on all HTTP traffic from AnoNet2 to IcannNet.
+ − 387 Having more proxies gives you an alternative to blindly trusting SRN
+ − 388 and ryuk not to sell your click-through data to Google, invert the order
+ − 389 of search results to your queries, and inject malicious JavaScript into
+ − 390 your Hotmail homepage.

148

112
+ − 403
+ − 404 dn42 is another highly decentralized darknet, and it's also quite
+ − 405 friendly. The main differences are that it doesn't claim anonymity as
+ − 406 a goal, and that it's significantly larger than AnoNet. A number of
+ − 407 AnoNet members are also active in dn42.
+ − 408
148
+ − 409 =item L<VAnet|http://www.vanet.org/>
112
+ − 410
+ − 411 VAnet is a strange animal. It's a highly I<centralized> darknet, making
+ − 412 the curious claim that centralization actually aids in privacy protection.
+ − 413 It's still quite small, but it should scale extremely well from a
+ − 414 technical perspective, due to its centralization. VAnet's official IRC
+ − 415 is part of the AnoNet IRC monster for now, so the easiest way to find out
+ − 416 more about VAnet is actually just to join AnoNet IRC and ask about VAnet.
