ANts P2P
'''ANts P2P''' is an [[anonymous]] [[peer-to-peer]] [[open source]] [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]ed application written in [[Java programming language|Java]].  See [[Anonymous P2P]] for more information on anonymous peer-to-peer applications.

== Features ==

ANts P2P realizes a third generation P2P net.
It protects your privacy while you are connected and makes you not trackable,
hiding your identity (ip) and crypting everything you are sending/receiving from others.

* Software automatic update
* Point to point encryption (AES 128 - [[Diffie-Hellman|DH]] 512)
* End point, end to end, encryption (AES 128 - [[Diffie-Hellman|DH]] 512)
* Multipath routing for packets
* Preferential connections (to give the network a fast [[backbone]])
* Support for partial [[download]]s
* Autosearch sources for active and interrupted downloads.
* ANts can find partial files through normal queries or queries by hash
* Full text indexing and searches over full file content and full file path location
* Non-[[anonymous]] internet relay chat, ([[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]])
* Queries are [[encryption|encrypted]] [[Asymmetric key algorithm|asymmetrically]]. This means that only the originator can read the query results.  Everyone can read the query string but this asymmetric approach drastically reduces the potential of a node to do trasit query analysis.
* A node's filesystem is protected against attacks based on random file push messages because you will accept ONLY push relative to a request you have made.
* Anonymous instant messaging
* Chat (IRC) non anonymous.

== Possible additions ==

* Friend 2 Friend support based on PGP keys (waiting for a working Bouncy Castle PGP implementation)

== Limitations ==

* ANts releases are ''not'' backward compatible.  Keep your node updated.⏎
* Seems (v1.0.1) to not be able to work on a LAN.
