Free-Net project back to drawing board

CNET News.com: “An ambitious attempt by an international coalition of hackers to create a file-sharing
program that can defeat censorship has gone back to the drawing board, the project’s
leader said Wednesday.

Known as “Peekabooty”–and previously as Project X–the program could allow dissidents in
authoritarian countries to speak out online by hiding the identity of its users.

Although the program was expected to be released at Def Con, the well-known hacker to-do, the
group has decided to solve some sticky technical problems first.”
