This was from a talk I gave at 5 minutes of fame in San Francisco. The event was hosted at Noisebridge hackspace. This was kind of a last minute presentation to help fill a gap in presenters. Could have been better.

3. Ensure the network is reliable.

4. The network must be fully open source, and well documented.

5. All nodes on the network must be excellent to each other.

6. Endeavor to do no harm. “ Governments and citizens must have confidence that the networks at the core of their national security and economic prosperity are safe and resilient. Now this is about more than petty hackers who deface websites.” - Hillary “Secretary of State” Clinton

9. ChaosVPN 1.0 ( HHH only US H space)

10. ChaosVPN 2.0 planned at HAR 2009

11. ChaosVPN 2.0 released last year

12. Packages for Debian / OpenWRT

13. Images for Fonera 2.0n

14. 60 or so registered nodes

15. NYC Resistor is fully integrated

16. Services are being added daily

17. DNS service was added last year

18. Multiple Servers now in use

22. Single Access Permanent Locations ( Tied to one person with some authoritative datasets )

23. Mobile Access Points ( Tied to a person or group of persons )

24. MANETS? ( Conference / Camp deployments )

26. Embedded Routing Device Deployments

27. Soft Client Deployments

28. Embedded Soft Client Deployments

30. Isolated network, no direct internet link

31. Opt in network that requires a minimum level of complexity when accessing

32. Hazardous projects expected, but general being excellent to each other rules apply

33. CTF competition field, and infosec training ground “ Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” - Rainbow Bright

38. Hacker spaces are community organized and managed with little to no commonality.

39. Organizational Models are very different.

40. All organizations, and users have different goals and concerns.

42. Compute resources are usually hand me down systems, or embedded systems.

43. On site human resources are ever changing and of diverse skill sets.

44. Environmental factors are diverse.

45. Nodes are dispersed globally.

48. Cheap in terms of CPU costs, faster throughputs on embedded devices.

49. Simple architecture, simple diagnostics and support for a small operations team

51. Keys are more vulnerable to interception

52. Privacy is non existent

56. Reduced reliance on higher risk keys in core routing infrastructure

58. Requires multiple group controllers

59. Resiliency is now dependent on reliability of authorities
