| | Anonymous P2P - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An anonymous P2P computer network is a particular type of peer-to-peer network in which the users and their nodes are pseudonymous by default. | | | The anonymity comes from the idea that no one knows who requested the information as it is difficult - if not impossible - to determine if a user requested the data for himself or simply requested the data on behalf of another user. | | | This is because by design, a network node must be pseudonymous since it must have an "address" at which it can be reached by other peer nodes in order to exchange data. |

| | Anonymity on the Internet Must be Protected |
| | These anonymity servers make use of what are called "remailers", which are basically computers on the internet that forward electronic mail or files to other network addresses. | | | The Finnish police used the fact that the anonymous user was suspected of "unauthorized use of a computer" as the grounds for their search and the confiscation of the information from Julf Helsingius. | | | Abolishing anonymity servers is not necessary since the technology exists to produce kill files which allow users to choose for themselves what they consider offensive. |

| | Anonymity and pseudonymity in cyberspace: |
| | To understand the problem of anonymity and pseudonymity, it is useful to define varying degrees of the behaviour. | | | It is the contention of the author that anonymity on the Net will inevitably continue to spawn antisocial behaviour in cyberspace and that we must somehow manage to integrate this kind of abuse into our plans for the further development of the Internet. | | | Writers of computer viruses and others in the criminal computer underground may also focus so intensely on the challenge of defeating machines that they lose sight of their human victims. |

| | Some years ago, you could even subscribe to an anonymity service that would route all your surfing and even IRC activity through various routers and servers in such a way that you could never be tracked by either IP address or MAC address/serial number. | | | There have been bursts of activity concerning anonymity on the Net, with paranoid users finding ways to hide themselves from any sort of scrutiny. | | | With new software coming from Microsoft and others that will allow just about anyone to peruse your hard disk remotely, I can see the public at large getting a little more cautious, especially when it sees the RIAA bankrupting students with legal action. |
