Something new and interesting... Wirehog.com
http://www.wirehog.com/
The most interesting... "transfer files through firewalls and NATs"
What is it? looks like a new filesharing program, but based a) around socializing, then b) sharing. And it's integrated with theFaceBook, but I'm not too sure how integrated it is... It could easily be shut down by laq inforcement though, since it _looks_ (at first glance) like it runs off a central server..................
I can send out invites - you'll need one to download the fileserver/client thing - yes, there's MacOS X and windows support - yay for them - it's python based, unless I'm mistaken. If you want an invite, comment. My only requirement is that you be a current friend. I'm not going to give invites to random strangers, 'cause you know, you could be evil people trying to examine and break the nice new system.
I'd like to know how it transfers files through firewalls and NATs. Probably through other clients who are open? Or maybe by adding the request to a message that's transmitting back to someone behind a firewall? I dunno.......

looky at the source for the page of some random person I found in wirehog
the important art of the frame link is where it was served from port 2533 on my computer "bounced" from the server SOMENAME being the person i was visiting with #s replacing their ip address and port at the time... either their ip address or an ip address whose port 55246 was redirecting information from... maybe a webcache??
Also fun detail of wirehog is that if you download say a whole folder off a person's computer, it will compress it for you on the fly... so you can get a whole album of my music or all my music, or a single song... directly via wirehog...

http://138.16.27.206:55246/?wirehogisrunning=1&localhost=1&nick=fbartho&access=2&key=8ce1085d07a6c619dbe1a6fdd370671c
will connect to above person. As you. I think. :D
Loophole #1 found?
I think 138.16.27.206 is their actual address?
Compression on the fly? Interesting!
[edit] yes, that's probably their actual address if they're not behind a firewall. You're not, and I'm connecting to http://141.213.217.170:596/.. which matches the IP address you're posting comments with.

Hey!! I wonder if we can host our own webpages via the wirehog server we are running... and have fbartho.wirehog.com point to our own little servers... :O oooo pretty...

Mmmm, I dunno... it's a posibilitiy. You'll probably have to modify the wirehog code, but most of the stuff should be there...
