KadNap is a sophisticated peer-to-peer design based on Kademlia, a network structure that uses distributed hash tables to conceal the IP addresses of command-and-control servers
How I would love to have enough Networking knowledge to be able to dismantle this system.
14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?
You have to ask yourself, is this comment intended to serve another interest?
How about neither?
Are you sure? Those seem like the only two options to me. Clearly the purpose of the article is to convince people to feed their children to the rich.
Seriously, I’ve seen an increase in these weirdly extremist comments recently. One would have to wonder if they are the ones serving another’s interests.
I don’t think anything Onno said is “extremist”, I just think it’s so vague that what they think might be happening is indecipherable. Makes it more likely to be rage/engagement bait, imo.
But it’s not extreme to think that perhaps, given the current anti-anonymity push among governments worldwide, and the fact this uses DHTs and P2P routing, governments might love to tarnish those things in peoples’ minds in order to more readily accept banning of bittorrent, onion routing, TOR, etc, which can help bypass a lot of the dangerous government net restrictions and surveillance being put in place.
Do you think that government intrusion into media, or the existence of online influence campaigns, are “extremist” conspiracies rather than proven realities?
That sounds like something that someone who was serving another’s interest would say!
Maybe the interests we serve are the friends we made serving another’s interests along the way…to serve interests? Or something like that
