Hacktivismo, a group sponsored by the Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) has released the Six/Four system developer’s edition.
Six/Four System is a flexible protocol framework rather than just one single application. It is a protocol designed for tunneling information. It creates anonymous, secure and decentralized tunnels for its users, in a transparent way, making any information and any service which is publicly available on the internet accessible to everyone. And this from everywhere, no matter if censorship, content filtering and/or surveillance systems are in place — while upholding the user’s safety and privacy.
The Six/Four protocol is a decentralized P2P protocol, which is why it is rendering censorship based on access control and firewalling useless.
It employs two mandatory layers of strong encryption, making use of specially trusted end-nodes in the network, protecting against
surveillance, hostile peers, and content-based filtering.
And it employs reliable, yet fully anonymous routing, making it pretty much impossible to do things like traffic analysis, and subversion of information on the network through man-in-the-middle attacks.
