«ВКонтакте» начала готовиться к отключению YouTube в России Холдинг VK договаривается с крупными операторами связи об установке на их сетях серверов для ускорения загрузки видеоконтента на случай блокировки YouTube в России, пишет Forbes. В случае блокировки YouTube «у VK будет масштабный всплеск трафика», объясняет собеседник в одном из операторов связи. «Если есть задача создать альтернативу зарубежными сервисам (а это по большей части YouTube), то только один сервис может составить конкуренцию — это VK», — добавляет источник, знакомый с обсуждением проекта холдинга. По их словам, компания создает собственный CDN-сервис (Content delivery network, «сеть доставки контента»), который представляет собой распределенную сеть серверов, на которых хранятся копии востребованного контента. За счет сервиса контент загружается не с центрального сервера, а из ближайшей точки присутствия CDN. Это совместный проект VK и операторов связи, уточняет один из источников. «Стороны сейчас определяют ...

Doxxing the Billionaires By Fake PhD Investigator fakephdinvestigator.substack.com 6 min April 12, 2023 View Original A year or so ago I stumbled upon this billionaire guy and thought: What information could this well-protected guy possibly still have floating around on the internet? It turned out, it was a lot. Compromising information even. The video summarizes what information I found and how this private information presents a security threat. I have picked a random billionaire, who is most definitely on this list, and checked to see what information I can gather about him and, as a fictitious bad guy, see how I can use this information to harm the person or realize a financial gain. This is a very real person who is alive but of course I am not going to reveal his identity here. We’ll call him Wilbert McLegacy. Some details of the information, like passwords, emails, and exact addresses, have been changed to conceal his real identity. But the point is that a...
Internet censorship and blocking circumvention: no time to relax
Internet censorship and blocking bypass: no time to relax Hornbeam 13 min View Original Disclaimer: almost everything described in the article is not something fundamentally new or innovative - it has long been known and invented, used in different countries of the world, implemented in code and described in scientific and technical publications, so I do not open any Pandora's box. Often on Habré, in topics devoted to blocking resources, there are funny statements like “I set up TLS-VPN, now they will watch what they want and the censors will not block my VPN”, “I use an SSH tunnel, so everything is OK, they won’t ban all SSH entirely", and the like. Well, let's analyze the experience of other countries and think about how it can actually be. 0 So, let's say we bought from some service, or, as savvy users, installed in a personal cloud / VPS and set up a VPN server for ourselves. Let's say these are the popular WireGuard or OpenVPN. You know what? Wir...
casbtosint/py-ipv8: Python implementation of Tribler's IPv8 p2p-networking layer https://github.com/casbtosint/py-ipv8
FAQ: Q: Is this the new official Layer 3 solution for the Internet? A: No, the naming is a 10-years-old mockery of the deployment failure of IPv6 (which we sincerely hope will be deployed properly at some point in time). Linux : Windows : Mac : Mutation Tests : Read the Docs : What is IPv8 ? IPv8 aims to provide authenticated communication with privacy. The design principle is to enable communication between public key pairs: IP addresses and physical network attachment points are abstracted away. This Python 3 package is an amalgamation of peer-to-peer communication functionality from Dispersy and Tribler , developed over the last 18 years by students and employees of the Delft University of Technology. The IPv8 library allows you to easily create network overlays on which to build your own applications. ...
