Hackerspace Global Grid: A network of satellites to bypass censorship on the Internet - Global Grid hackerspacesThe
current onslaught of security, the available content, privacy and the
freedom to surf the web, who are being awarded the task of defending
these values to develop strategies with very high expectations and
ambitions. Very high. So
much so that at the Chaos Communication Congress, a group of security
experts announced plans to send a network of satellites into space,
building the Global Grid hackerspaces to combat censorship and there
exists more strongly on Earth.With the law SOUP fluttering in the vast corridors of the U.S. Senate and lobby for its passage suggestively caressing the pocket of many of the protagonists of the debate, the community of security experts continues to discuss and predict what the state of the network in the case that this law is applied and leave others in the future may be even worse. Freedom and privacy are values that can not be defiled, and the Chaos Communication Congress was interesting announcements at the censorship action. One of the most outstanding was the one who starred in called hackerspaces Global Grid, which expressed the intention to strengthen fundraising, research and community work to send a satellite into space and start a global satellite network that is an alternative to the Internet controlled by the powerful and their censors.
Collection stations would function as signal-geographical area - Global Grid hackerspaces capture stations as officials said geographic area-
Carrying several months of development ahead, the project hackerspaces Global Grid, will try, as in the past others have done so enthusiastic amateur, put several satellites in space through a service that the ground control without the need for constant presence of "owner" of the satellite. With this overhead, the idea is to create a communication network that is outside the territorial control of the intervening agencies, and users would connect to it through low-cost small stations that could be sold non-profit (100 ideal as a stop euros) or could even be built by the user. By partnering with the GPS satellite network, these stations will identify the satellite generating the appropriate feedback to surf the net without concerns about privacy and freedom of action. Mr. Bauer, a man in charge of the project, announced that the plan is to present 3 prototypes for half of 2012, and hopefully show the community in the next Chaos Communication Congress.
Bauer is a highly respected expert and leader in the community that will support this project. - Global Grid hackerspaces Bauer is a highly respected expert and leader in the community that will support this project.
While the project is feasible because it is not the first time a group of this kind send satellites into space (although these dimensions and integration with other projects, such as Constellation), technical difficulties as the amount of time may be operating these satellites, geolocation and efficiency, the possibility of repair and delays in the transfer of information because it would not count on such advanced technology. In addition to needing money to do so, the community of security experts and will require working together, because for 23 years in planning to launch the first computer to the moon, but that's another story.
