About

• to startup a discussion on possible projects -- please submit your ideas / probable needs (competences, material,..).
• Later we'll do a rundown in which specific projects ppl are interested & we'll put hsbxl money into
• Be aware these should be projects you've always wanted to do but can't do on your own...

• to establish a direct tcp connection between 2 nodes behind natted firewall (a third, publicly reachable node is available to do the handshaking) -- need to observe the behavior of a iptables firewall when opening new connections & predict src-port numbers used by both firewalls -- hm drop it, it exists, though no reliable solution exists (which wasn't to be expected from such a hack) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Traversal_Utilities_for_NAT - http://samy.pl/pwnat/
