Hackers to unleash anti-censorship tool



Hackers to unleash anti-censorship tool
 
A computer hacking group best known for creating tools for hijacking
computer systems is turning its hand to civil disobedience 
and plans to release an application that could scupper government and
corporate censorship around the world. 
The tool--to be called Peekabooty--will be based on peer-to-peer
network technology. This allows data to be distributed 
directly between computer systems and has attained fame through the
emergence of music-sharing technologies such as 
Napster and Gnutella. Peekabooty hosts will cooperate in a similar
way to Gnutella--without a central server--but in this case 
will share and distribute controversial Web pages.
