Internet Privacy

There could be several reasons to use anonymous P2P networks like privacy concerns or for bypassing censorship, NodZilla is one such experimental decentralized, self-organizing, fault-tolerant peer-2-peer grid network meant for anonymous file-sharing and distributed services built on top of it like chat, efficient multicast video streaming, and secured file storage.

Unlike other similar file-sharing service Nodezilla offers cache features allowing servers to create local replicas of any data objects for providing faster access and robustness to network partitions help reducing network congestion by localizing access traffic. Furthermore, to strengthen the infrastructure against crash, information leakage, or become compromised the network makes use of full data redundancy and encryption techniques

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is now available for public downloading, the most notable change being addition of a "Private Browsing" feature, dubbed "InPrivate™ Browsing" the feature when activated let users browse website off the record, not saving any browsing history, cookies, and any other browsing related data.

NebuAd is a highly controversial behavioral targeted advertising system implemented by many leading ISP's, the sophisticated deep-packet inspection appliance based system at your ISP level analyzes customer's websurfing habits delivering micro-targeted advertising to them, the overall approach used to intercept, analyze and alter the visited webpage's html makes it no less then a Spyware and is raising substantial privacy questions.

In a new investigatory report, the author Robert M. Topolski found that NebuAd uses TCP/IP packet monitoring that “monitors, intercepts and modifies the contents of Internet packets” as consumers surf online, the report also provide details how NebuAd is intercepting web-traffic and inserting javascript codes into webpages:

"Upon reviewing the record of TCP packets from Google’s server, it is observable that that an extra packet appears in the data stream before the data stream closes. The contents of
this added packet are added to the code underlying Google’s Web page. The added packet
contains JavaScript code that causes a Web browser to visit another site. Evidence (see
below) indicates that this packet is a forgery and did not come from Google, but from
some other point within the network."
