Peek-A-Booty goes public
CDC released peek-a-booty at CodeCon conference in San Francisco's DNA Lounge on Sunday. Peek-A-Booty lets users access sites blocked by government restrictions. It uses a peer-to-peer model, masking the identity of each node. So the user can route around censorship that blocks citizens' access to specific IP addresses, because the censor doesn't know they're going there. If you're a Peek-A-Booty node, you might be doing it on their behalf. So the software isn't itself a browser, but simply requires the user to use localhost in the proxy field of their preferred browser. I haven't tried the software yet but when I do I will report it.
