Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface

mistermark writes "I built a fully encrypted (samba) fileserver with a web interface for managing torrent downloads on it. All I used is OpenBSD 3.6 and its package collection, except for the TorrentFlux-interface (which you need to install separately). Anyway, it can be built using binary packages only. I included a rough HOWTO on how to make one of these yourself."

Nice

Now you can seed your secret corporate documents!

slashdotted

[crazyray]

from the "about" page: Professional co-location was/is out of the question simply because of the costs and I did/do have bigger plans than to be able to host this kind of thing at home. To be honest, if this thing grows any bigger I'll be moving the whole shebang to a datacenter after all... Prices have dropped quite a bit since about two years ago and now. But, until then, all this comes from my server at a friends house where he has an amazing 10mbit up&down.

Well, I guess he USED to be your friend, until you slashdotted his internet connection....

Also encrypted my machine

Pertend I'm stupid...

No need.

Big fan...

[__aaclcg7560]

Can anyone identify the size of the fan being used on that server? I'm used to seeing 60mm and 80mm fans but not one that big. (Although when I had an AMD K-5 computer back in 1997, I would open up the case during the summer and use a 20" floor fan to keep it cool.) I think have the front end open like defeats the purpose of cooling down that many hard drives.

I did this once...

I built a fully encrypted system once. Even the source was encrypted. Sadly, I lost the key and it was all for naught...

Blizzard

Shit, you better call up Blizzard quick. They've been using this warez technology to distribute their game patches. Who knew all torrents were illegal!

Douche bag.

now that's useful

[commodoresloat]

encrypted mp3s sound so much better than regular ones.

Re:I did this once...

[Anonymous Coward]

I want to write a freeware opensource encryption program. I will advertise only that it will encrypt the contents of "My Documents" so that nobody can decrypt it.

After that my program will print a message about the commercial version having support for decryption and where to send $25.00 via Pay Pal.

No no no, the point is that they sound so much worse to everyone else. The RIAA browsing your filesystem for example.

Re:Obstruction of justice --misleading wording.

[Anonymous Coward]

You use the phrase "don't hand over" but this is an oversimplification of a complicated legal issue.
Let's take two examples.
Example One
You say: "Fuck you dirty rat coppers, I have the key and I spit at your entire justice system which I haven nothing but contempt for. I have the key and I refuse to give it to you. Go to hell."
Well, in that case I think you might be right.
But let's try another instance of "don't hand over" that has different implications.
Example Two
You say: "Key? What key? You mean the key to the house? Oh, the computer. It doesn't need a key. Oh, you mean an encrypted file key? How's that work now? I'm not sure about all that really. Maybe you should ask my lawyer.
I think the second one is hardly going to be grounds for obstruction because by the time you and your lawyer talk it out for a few hours you'll come up with a good one.
Ronald Reagan pulled that crap under oath in front of the Senate for Iran Contra and he was snickering he thought it was so funny that fucking asshole. And they didn't find that old bastard in contempt.
