Cool WASTE! - from the Creator of Gnutella
WASTE! - from the Creator of Gnutella

Let's hear some discussion on this. The guy who made Nullsoft WinAmp through version 5.0 (Jan 2003) and ShoutCast and original Gnutella code..... has just released code for SECURE chat and SECURE filesharing for FREE to the public! (May 28th, 2003)

Nullsoft WASTE
WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables secure distributed communication for small (on the order of 10-50 nodes) trusted groups of users.

WASTE is designed to enable small companies and small teams within larger companies to easily communicate and collaborate in a secure and efficient fashion, independent of physical network topology.

This sounds like good code to reverse engineer and get into the hands of open-source coders so security could be added to Gnutella clients. Does anyone agree? Does someone disagree?
