About:
Nodezilla is a secured, distributed, and fault
tolerant routing system (or grid network) that
supports distributed services such as file
sharing, chat, efficient video multicast
streaming, and secured file storage. It
provides cache features where any server
may create a local replica of any data object.
These local replicas provide faster access and
robustness to network partitions, and reduce
network congestion by localizing access traffic.
To ensure data protection, redundancy and
cryptographic techniques are used.

No source
by Michael T. Babcock - Jun 24th 2004 16:25:04
Warning: this "secure" and "anonymous" software
includes no source code. If you want to trust this individual (or group,
or agency) to write secure and honest software without the source, then so
be it; just a warning.

Thanks for the warning, but I think you know that most of the programs
running on todays computer are not open-source, and are then 'trusted' by
their users.
Even Opensource programs, and linux distributions, are installed on
precompiled forms (rpm/deb whatever), and are not compiled by final users,
they also trust the binaries for being safe.
Nearly nobody wants/can/have to time to check sources for backdoors or
check algorithms validity.
This warning sounds like something else than a standard warning everybody
knows, what's your point/interest in here ?
That's for the general point, now where do you see written that it won't
be opensourced ? Like maybe when it will be on a more stable state ?

I'm not terribly concerned with *how* it works; I'm already quite familiar
with the algorithms in Freenet (and the similarities to your own). I'm
concerned that you don't want people to see the source code to this program
for one reason or another. The programs distributed by Redhat and Debian,
whether you're aware of it or not have their source code read / compiled /
audited by at least the author and Redhat's employees (which are most often
different people). That said, MOST of the software people use on their
desktops doesn't claim to be secure or anonymous or protect their
identities. Yours does.

Just now. I haven't built and can't vouch for those files, but at the
time the above comment was posted, those files were not available (as per
the author's comments that source code isn't necessary for security).
Thanks for the heads-up.
