Creating A Private File Sharing Network Using PirateBox Technology

When NYU art professor David Darts shows people his lunchbox, "a smile just starts creeping up on their face." Painted black with a white skull-and-crossbones, the metal box doesn't hold a pastrami on rye; instead, it's stuffed with networking equipment and batteries, and it hosts a Debian Linux install running a barebones Python-powered Web server. . The goal of this "PirateBox": to create an open file-sharing network in any public space, and to do with total privacy. Inside the PirateBox sits a Free Agent Dockstar, an Asus WL330GE wireless router, and a SanDisk 16GB flash drive. The software, including Debian Linux and the DD-WRT open-source router firmware, is all free. The total build cost is under $100, not counting the lunchbox enclosure and the optional battery pack (the PirateBox can alternately run on AC power). The article located at arsTechnica is no longer available. . Discover the PirateBox, an innovative solution for discreet file sharing in communal areas by utilizing the Debian Linux operating system and open-source technologies.. PirateBox, file sharing network, open source technology. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
