nsane.forums Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Last month we reported on PirateBox, a super-cheap system for turning any open space into a wireless and anonymous file-sharing system. The whole system is based on a TP-LINK TL-MR3020 3G Wireless N Router which is available from Newegg at just $39.99. Although neat, the current PirateBox system is strictly a server/client setup but according to a development reported by Numerama, things might now go to the next level. A PirateBox software update now includes drivers for BATMAN, a routing protocol also known as Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking. Although still under development, future BATMAN-enabled PirateBoxes could then network with each other, meaning that accessing users could hop from device to device and have full access not just to a single PirateBox server, but a network of interconnected PirateBox servers. More information on BATMAN here and the PirateBox update here. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
