An idea for anonymity

I was thinking the other day. How would I do something on the internet and make my activity completely untraceable. The simplest form of the answer was to scatter where the packets come from.

So the idea of the packet scatter network was born. Anyone could sign up and host a server and there would be a large list of servers that the program would use. what the client would do is grab all outgoing packets and scatter them amongst the servers in the list, attaching a forwarding address. when each packet gets to it a server it is then sent on to its final destination, but anyone trying to trace the packets would find anywhere from 2 to thousands of sources.

I have absolutely no idea if this is even vaugley possible. But its and idea. It seems like it would only work for UDP because those are not ordered and such like TCP. But I’m not sure. I’ll ponder on it more I guess. Just an idea.

IRC Server

Recently I came up with the idea to create my own little IRC Community. So I set to work. After several days and a very large amount of cursing, I finally got my IRC Server up and running. So then, I decided to buy a domain so that people could connect without having to use my IP address. Anyways. I set my original server up on a windows machine. Tonight, I spent another 6 hours setting up a second node in the network on my friends linux box. And then we had to go through the painstaking process of linking the servers. But now we have it all working together.

Now, the hardest part. Making the community. I only have 2 or 3 friends that frequent IRC Chat rooms. But I’m hoping maybe this post will draw some people in. For anyone who is interested in the new network please feel free to join us at irc.slushnet.com. Everyone is welcome!
