In other words, if I go into a Starbucks with this thing, can my laptop or whatever start acting like a temporary Tor node?
I don't see why not, you'd be just middleman. If you want to wind up on this list http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu:8000/cgi-bin/exit.pl you'll have to submit your stats, and it will take a day or two.
That's a very fascinating concept: A temporary, transient Tor network. Any node on this network could cease to exist by the time someone tried to jam large portions of it. Or at least, their attacks would have to be a hell of a lot more flexible.
An ephemeral P2P traffic remixing system with high node density in address space could bootstrap very quickly just from rendezvousing/scanning some random net blocks. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
