* Package name : marabunta Version : 0.3.2 Upstream Authors: David Gascón, Daniel Larraz * URL : http://marabunta.laotracara.com <http://www.wormux.org> * License : GPL Description : An anonymous P2P Application # It is a P2P platform for information exchanging among nodes in an anonymous way based on several communication algorithms called "Order and Chaos" which can be found in massive social organizations such as ant colonys. # The project was born in the University of Zaragoza, developed and promoted by students of computing engineering although developement groups and users from many different places seem to be interested because of the importance and the aim of the project. # Marabunta is the real implementation of the ideas explained in the Free Nets project APEIRON and it has been made with these ideas on mind: * AVOIDING CENSURE Communication between people avoiding central servers is allowed. So it is free from censure attacks, which are commonly launched from many governments and corporations that want to control the communications. * ANONYMITY Anonymous communication is allowed. So we can access the contents without knowing the original source of the message. CHARACTERISTICS * Text messages interchange is the first service. It could be taken as a platform for telegram distribution, where each computer in the net works as a Host and as a Server. o As a Host: Messages are sended, active nodes are seeked, etc. o As a Server: Text messages and requests to increase the connectivity between nodes are routed to the network using a broadcast forwarding method. * There are 4 Messages Distribution Lists. So we only receive messages sended to the list we are interested on. o General, Technology, Philosophy, Politics * Contents filters are allowed so only messages with certain patterns are displayed. This is specially useful when searching for some specific information because Marabunta just selects potentially interesting messages. * Connections: All generated traffic is UDP/IP. Avoiding setting up connections between nodes lets more traffic flow in the network and the operational redundance of every node can be used. Moreover, UDP protocol increases anonymity in the net because there is no need to validate source hosts to receive a datagram. * Marabunta is programmed using QT4 libraries because they allow compilation on three main operative systems: GNU Linux, Mac and Windows * Source code has been published under GNU/GPL License.
