Thus, the cryptography was probably never as much in focus as in projects like Tor or Freenet which are basically designed to handle situations of life and death. The whole unspoken point of the Tribler project, as I see it, is to provide an anonymous enough way to seed and leech BitTorrent to keep MAFIAA befuddled until something better comes along. I'd certainly be interested in seeing some. I haven't seen any "side projects of individual hackers" that are anywhere as close to functional as Tribler is, but then again, I haven't been looking. As such, they are probably more vulnerable to hacking-related laws and probably less motivated to exploit these flaws.ĥ. As noted elsewhere, the adversary here isn't "spooks" but rather the MPAA, RIAA and the like. Which, naturally, resulted in a proportional amount of scrutiny, and hence, TFA.Ĥ. This generated vastly more publicity and enthusiasm amongst circles that probably didn't know how many grains of salt university PR is supposed to be taken with.

What happened instead is that these claims seemed to address a long-standing need of people the world over who wish to download copyright material without being held accountable for it. My guess is, this originated from typical university PR. The only reason it is getting so much scrutiny is because of recent claims that it makes "stopping bittorrent impossible". The researchers (at least as of a few years ago) were more interested in distributed systems and P2P, so the flawed crypto is not surprising to me.ģ.

That it is decently usable by the general populace at all is in itself unusual as far as most research projects go.Ģ. While the people who work on it (I even talked to a couple many years ago) do wish for it to be generally usable, they are academics, and so publishable material is their primary goal. It's basically a playground / lab for research and thesis work, and that's how it should be viewed. Note that this is, first and foremost, a research project.

As somebody interested in P2P, I've been following Tribler for a while.
