Bit Hunter Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 A while ago i was thinking of creating a Hamachi clone based on OpenVPN, but never had time to get it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This has come up quite a bit through the past years. It all comes down to "would you really be willing to join a vpn with a bunch of "hackers". A vpn with complete strangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str33ts0ld13r Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 A while ago i was thinking of creating a Hamachi clone based on OpenVPN, but never had time to get it started. that would be pretty sweet to add any features that hamachi has that openvpn is missing. if you can code that would be great, im not much good when it comes to coding. what were you thinking of adding?? This has come up quite a bit through the past years. It all comes down to "would you really be willing to join a vpn with a bunch of "hackers". A vpn with complete strangers. thats why we have to find a way to make it as secure as possible, your only line of defense shouldnt be your router firewall. i agree that there are a lot of security risks involved and that is one of my main concerns.. seeing as how it has come up before there is an interest in it, and i think that there is a way to make it work securely.

Perhaps make it invite only with invitees to supply verifiable data (address phone number, license number or something) but even then i don't know. I totally love the concept, but will the wannabe zero cool losers be able control themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally love the concept, but will the wannabe zero cool losers be able control themselves? ya skiddies are a pain in the ass (i mean ill defend noobs because they haven't had the chance to lean yet but skiddies don't want to learn.). i like the invite only thing a registration would be one of the best security measures we could take. (note:everyone who helps contribute to this project will have access to the hak5 vpn before anyone else is invited). registrations will be included in this thank you for that input Swathe. I was thinking of adding a wrapper around the original OpenVPN... that would be sweet. encryption is always good.. sorry to everyone i haven't been able to do as much with this project as i would like. i have a few other projects that have been taking up a considerable amount of my time, but not to worry those projects are just about wrapped up and i will be able to focus more of my time to this. i hope to really get things moving on this in the next week or so. now to just make sure everyone is in agreement, we are going with openvpn....?..

Swathe Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have nothing against noobs as everyone was one at some stage. I am pretty prejudice against dickheads though. And steve jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str33ts0ld13r Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 exactly the way i feel is if they are willing to lean i dont mind helping them. but ya we all have those people that we cant stand.. yours is steve jobs mine is pretty much all sys-admin/IT departments but the one that we can all agree on are those little internet punks.. (im sure im gonna get flamed for that IT comment (for all you flamers the key words in that sentence were "pretty much")) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingleBerries Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Great way for people to spread there bots. "Oh shit they new hazor app... Oh shit i r a zombie nao." There should be some type of invite or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daehlie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think the biggest benefit would be for some old school games that have matchmaking only on LAN, which could be circumvented by this OpenVPN. However I rarely am sorry the wild internets are behind my edge firewall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
