A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

KadNap is a sophisticated peer-to-peer design based on Kademlia, a network structure that uses distributed hash tables to conceal the IP addresses of command-and-control servers

How I would love to have enough Networking knowledge to be able to dismantle this system.

I’m a network engineer and I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. The ip addresses would be visible at some point or it wouldn’t work. I assume they’ve done the simple thing and ran a packet capture but a good chance it’s running through VPN so who knows
