'''ANts P2P''' is an [[Anonymous P2P|anonymous peer-to-peer]] [[open source]] [[file sharing]] software written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. The project was launched in 2004, and the code is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]].

== Features ==

ANts P2P encrypts all traffic{{FactCitation needed|date=September 2008}} sent or received from others and proxies traffic between participants in the network to make it harder to determine the originating [[IP address]]es. Some of its features include:

* Automatic update of the software.
* Point-to-point [[encryption]] (AES 128 - [[Diffie-Hellman|DH]] 512).
* End to end encryption (AES 128 - [[Diffie-Hellman|DH]] 512).
* Multipath routing for packets.
* Preferential connections to give the network a fast [[Backbone network|backbone]].
* Support for partial [[download]]s.
* Support for the [[eDonkey]] link format.
* Autosearch sources for active and interrupted downloads.
* Finding parts of 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]].
* Queries are 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 reduces the potential of a node to do transit query analysis.

ANts P2P also allows users to offer [[web server]]s anonymously{{FactCitation needed|date=September 2008}}; these servers are only reachable from within the ANts P2P network. ANts P2P is however not an outproxy network which lets users reach services on the conventional internet; for this, an outproxy service such as [[Tor (anonymity network)|Tor]] can be used separately.
