Anonymous web hosting

11 Feb, 2008  3 Comments

I typed this once but my internet went down, so I lost it. Therefore I will be brief: Use the the Tor network to anonymously host a website, and allow the public to view it through a website that is able to interface with the tor network. This would allow a content provider to be completly annonymouse in there dealings, while being accesible to the general public. Only the site directing users to the tor site is at risk.

Idea: Cell Phone

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a cellphone that cost $50 and offered you free cell service? Well, I’d like to see if that is possible with a cellphone that taps into open wireless networks (or ones that you have the security information for) to make calls. It would also need to have the ability to place calls normaly, but that not that big of an issue. I believe that this is very do-able using open-source software and cheap parts. Te question is this: Are there enough open wireless networks around to make it useful?
