'''konspire2b''' is a [[peer-to-peer|distributed]], [[deniability|deniable]], strongly-[[pseudonymity|pseudononymous]] distribution system for files over a computer network.  It was designed and implemented by [[Jason Rohrer]]. 

== Overview ==

The aim of a konspire2b network is to transfer files from a publisher to his readers, in a manner which makes best use of the network connections available by all parties.

== Technical aspects ==

There is currently a single client implementation called '''kast'''.  It is written in [[C]], and uses a browser-based [[user interface]] which means that it is trivial to install and use on any type of computer or operating-system.

All konspire2b-related software is [[open source]] under the [[GNU GPL]]. The konspire2b website uses a [[wiki]] for the purpose of documentation and [[brainstorming]]
, although the konspire2b wiki has suffered repeated automated [[vandalism]] and.  There has been a continuing [[linkspam]] [[vandalism]] campaign on the [http://konspire.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?main_page Konspire wiki], and as a result, is no longer of any real use.

== Differences with other [[peer-to-peer]] software ==

konspire2b is markedly different from traditional [[file sharing]] software, where users search for files on connected systems. Instead, a konspire2b user is encouraged to simply subscribe to some channels of interest, let the software run for a few hours, and then look at the files they have received.

== Technical problems ==

From [[2003]] onwards, the computer used to run ''katcher'' which informs Kast nodes of each others' existence, has not responded to queries.  Any computer can perform this task, preferably one with a static IP address, and there are some possibilities listed below.
