[p2p-hackers] New project: P2P VPN, sort of...

[Luca Piccarreta]

Hi all,
my name is Luca Piccarreta, 
I've implemented a sort of P2P application (based on a KAD network)
with an embedded VPN (well.... not yet private :) based on a TUN
driver, and a ridiculous name server which map DNS requests to
Kad queries.
In the end, the application should be a big firewall opener, on top
of which it should be easy to build P2P applications, or to connect to
computers behind NAT/firewalls.
Of course, all the code has been written in a hurry, but I think that with
the help of someone it could become a very nice application.
If you want an idea of what it should become, have at look at Hamachi
(http://www.hamachi.cc), and add on top of that the ability to refer to
peers with friendly name (say http://name_of_an_host.kad)

What's there:
    - KAD network (own flavour, not compatible with Emule or whatever)
    - TUN interface and forwarding (got from OpenVPN TAP-WIN32 driver 
        and bits and pieces of code)
    - Nameservice (trivial, but working)
    - Linux/WIN32
    - C++

What's not there:
    - Message signing/encryption
    - A nice GUI
    - Some users...
    - A home page

The project is at sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/x-kad)

Eagerly waiting for volunteers!
Luca.
