Sticks in wheels for 9 million

The Russian Academy of Sciences has adopted a state order for new censorship technologies on the Internet

Everything went quickly. The start date of submitting applications on the website of the State Zacups was marked in the documents on March 3, and on the same day at 12 o’clock in the afternoon the procedure was closed. The lot at the price of 9 192 190.75 rubles left the customer - the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “The Main Radio Frequency Center” to the Contractor - State Institution “Federal Research Center“ Informatics and Management ”of the Russian Academy of Sciences”.

Not everyone without a yawn will read the long and boring names of the two state offices, one of which brought the other; And it’s really boring, not foreshadowing anything exciting, the name of the purchase sounds: “Work on the study, analysis of modern information and communication technologies and protocols of the information and telecommunication network“ Internet ”(the first stage)”. Large letters in brackets belong to the document.

But we will not allow ourselves to defeat ourselves boredom and, having eaten through the routine of descriptions, we will still open the terms of reference to find out what is going to explore the research center, subordinate to the Ministry of Science and Education and working under the leadership of the Academy of Sciences.

And there, on the 14 pages of the terms, we will find a lot of interesting things.

So, firstly, this is a task for the study of the architecture and protocols of the MesH networks, that is, single-rated distributed networks that have neither central servers nor providers. In Mesh networks, all computers are equal and each for himself a provider.

This is not the Internet, it is an independent, self -building network that cannot be turned off (only with electricity) and it is impossible to listen to any SORM.

The technology in the form of the theory and the first legendary unstable Mesh networks of Netskuki and Hyperborea has existed for more than ten years and is now embodied in the current, resistant practical developments in the work. Mesh networks are a network of the near future, in which everyone will be able to create their own cells and bushes with dozens, hundreds and thousands of computers.

What is proposed to do with them?

Create an experimental cluster in order to then expand the experience of scaling MesH networks throughout the country? To support progressive technology with the mind and experience of the Academy of Sciences? How, wait! A description of “possible methods of deterioration in data transfer (until the network is completely degraded), methods for identifying and restricting/blocking this type of traffic” is required.

That is, the bright heads of the creators of the Mesh net thought about how to improve data transfer, and the dark heads of the research center of the Academy of Sciences think about how to worsen it. The creators of Mesh networks thought about how to make them stable, and we will think about how to break them.

Before us is a conspiracy of a state tank in order to put a stick into the wheel of progress. Masters put a pig for people at work and in business.

We read the terms of reference and pay attention to the names of the fact that, in fact, he is going to study with the aim of suppressing and destroying Roskomnadzor and the center subordinate to it using the Academy of Sciences. Named YGGDRASILL, CJDNS, BRIAR, SIGNAL OFFLINE and FireChat.

• Called yggdrasil (mythical tree of life), the MesH network is successfully working, the bushes of which are scattered around the world;

• CJDNS is a protocol with which you can create a single -ranking network on top of the Internet or without the Internet;

• Briar - a free messenger capable of binding people with an encrypted connection when the Internet is disconnected;

• Signal Offline and FireChat do the same.

So why did the two Russian institutions suddenly have such a strong and painful interest in these excellent things?

Painful, because, of course, to think about the dangers of free life and order research on how to destroy what others do for people do - all this cannot be called health. This is a phase shift in a phase that is characteristic of a police consciousness that sees an insult to power in an empty sheet of paper, in a plastic glass - a weapon of the proletariat, and on the YGGDRASILL network - an encroachment on the basics and crossbreeds.

And then there is also a messenger who can be used anonymously and in which the major’s head can not fit (the cap interferes).

But this is not all interesting that we can find in terms of reference. We read on - and here hello, all faces familiar. The customer needs an “analysis and description of the principles of the most popular existing and promising technologies used to build anonymous Darknet networks.

The list of studied technologies and protocols Darknet must include the following technologies: Invisible Internet Project (I2P); The Onion Router (Tor); Telegram Open Network; Freeenet; Zeronet; Anonet ".

This is a list of network services that are needed to bypass locks, and for anonymous stay on the network, and to build decentralized networks; Some of them are created precisely in order to give freedom and protection to people living under the rule of authoritarian regimes and dictatorships.

Who wants to break them is the dictatorship.

Also, the increased and unhealthy interest of Roskomnadzor is caused by the Smart House and the IOT network, that is, such networks by which they exchange data, for example, a new type refrigerator and a futuristic controller that controls all devices in the house. These channels, of course, are encrypted, because all its channels should be encrypted to protect a person and his personal data.

This is the alarm in the frightened foreheads of Roskomnadzor and the offices attached to it: what if the IoT will be used to disseminate information prohibited in the Russian Federation?

Haytek has not yet created a full -fledged “smart home”, advanced minds and companies around the world are still working on its creation - and we already think in Russia how to open the transmission of traffic between a mixer and a dishwasher and block it.

We live in the world-edition, where terrible things are often hidden under beautiful names, but still one cannot but be surprised that Russian science designed to create and create, in the person of the unit of the Academy of Sciences, accepts an order to spoil and destroy.

But Stop! And all this for nine million rubles? For the meager nine million rubles and the efforts of the few programmers in the service of the Internet security officers, to make nets, software and systems inaccessible and incompetent, which have developed the best High-tech minds in which hundreds of programmers around the world have been investing in the mind? To get into the multilayer onion routing Tor and the dynamic i2p tunnels so deeply as to be able to break their work? Pull the network doors to the decentralized Zeronet created by Hungarian programmers, so that it always has easy and simple access? And all this pogrom and a ban with preliminary scientific dances - for just nine million rubles? Isn't it funny yourself?

The weak -legged, not capable of blocking Durov Telegram, challenges the powerful movement of the world hiite and teams, including the main developer I2P, known as ZZZ, and does not hide the name and faces of Ian Clark, which develops Freeenet since 2000, and the creator of the BRIAR messenger Michael Rogers, and those people who created and develop Tor.

There is an order of orders of magnitude more money. Hundreds of millions, billion! But after all, the document is written in major letters: "The first stage."
