Perfect dark (Anonymous P2P)

* Perfect Dark is a peering file-sharing client for Microsoft Windows.

** At the moment, the main filling of the network space is Japanese content.
** This network does not depend on the health of the servers, as there is no need for them.
** Anonymity is that no one knows what exactly you are shaking, and what you post.
** Encryption technology used

*** Requirements:
- It is desirable to have an external (public) IP
- Minimum upload speed: ~ 100 Kb / s;
- Space (just free space that will be gradually filled) occupied on the disk under the Perfect Dark network distributed file storage (unity directory): at least 40 GB;
')
* At the moment the project is at the stage of open testing and is updated quite often.

* The anonymity of the Perfect Dark network is based on mixnet, in which the direction of traffic is subject to a certain probability, and distributed file storage (unity) does not have a certain structure, which will complicate attempts to prove the illegality of file sharing. Data is stored and transmitted by encrypted blocks, separately from the keys used to encrypt these blocks.

* Perfect Dark uses RSA (with a 1024-bit key) and AES (with a 128-bit key) algorithms to encrypt data transferred between file sharing participants. The keys used for encryption are cached to improve performance.

* The uploaded files and discussions (which can be automatically updated if the corresponding option is enabled) are usually signed with a 160-bit ECDSA key. Spread updates are additionally protected with a 2048-bit RSA key.

6) Speed ​​/ traffic limits


7) Folders for download and the size of the shared folder (minimum 40GB)


8) Add addresses (nodes) for the primary entry into the public network.
We take the nodes (copy) from here (at least 1 active node is required):
* p2p-db.net/dark.txt - only a part can be copied
* Or you can drive a node / un: a friend's port if he tells you.


9) The message that until 2000 MB is accumulated in the shared folder, the program will be almost useless for downloading information from the network.


10) General information on the network status


11) Search (to download the desired file, right-click and select Start download ) The file will be downloaded to the shared folder in chunks first, and then generated to a file in the Download folder.
Search: on the left side, words are entered for the search, and they are saved as a tree and gradually filled up with search results.
You can search for a word in the results of another search by highlighting the previous result and typing a new word in the top window for the search.

3) In the program, go to the transfer section and see the files that are uploaded to the network (quite a long time in hours measured), but you can force the transfer (in the menu through the right click on the line of the file being transferred) to speed up, but it is not recommended to save more anonymity.
