ANts P2P is an anonymous peer-to-peer open source GNU General Public Licenseed application written in Java programming language.
= Features =
ANts P2P is a third generation P2P net. It encrypts everything being sent/received from others and hides the users IP address.
Automatic update of the software.
Point to point Encryption (AES 128 - Diffie-Hellman 512).
End point, end to end, encryption (AES 128 - Diffie-Hellman 512).
Multipath routing for packets.
Preferential connections (to give the network a fast backbone).
Support for partial downloads.
Autosearch sources for active and interrupted downloads.
ANts can find partial files through normal queries or queries by hash
Full text indexing and searches over full file content and full file path location
Non-anonymous internet relay chat, (Internet Relay Chat)
Queries are encrypted Asymmetric key algorithm. This means that only the originator can read the query results. Everyone can read the query string but this asymmetric approach drastically reduces the potential of a node to do transit query analysis.
A node s filesystem is protected against attacks based on random file push messages because you will accept ONLY push relative to a request you have made.
Anonymous instant messaging
= Possible additions =
Friend-to-friend support based on PGP keys (waiting for a working Bouncy Castle PGP implementation)
