Tenfingers

Edit: the Base64 text is just a "fun" way of representing the downloadable link (or so I thought). I think it is kind of interesting, having a text based format for the tenfingers links that you can share on a forum. I'm adding this as one user was concerned it was some sort of "virus". Just for info, the cmd line rebuilds the file from the text (you can compare them if you doubt it by Base64 the link file), and it's all filtered through browser security when you 'use' the file, so I doubt it can be harmful even if I tried to make it so. Valmond strikes as a genius marketeer again I guess :-/

Hi everyone!

This time I have a fun use case, sharing with a text link.

Wait, come back! You won't regret it, promise!

To check it out:

1. download the tenfingers downloader webpage here (the three first files, 1 html & 2 javascripts): https://tenfingers.org/webentry/

2. Then instead of using the provided link on that page, copy paste this (see below) in a file link.txt, and run the command:

base64 -d link.txt | tar -xzvf - -C ./

3. Open the downloaded download.html file, and select "Browse" to open the newly generated page1.10f file. It's kind of slow especially the music and video links, please be patient!

4. Profit!

Happy sharing!

Migrated to cryptodome from cryptodomex, you will have to update the python files when updating the docker image.

Can now serve CORS requests for the web prototype ( see link )

To test out the tenfingers protocol in a real world use case, I made a small html/js entrypoint for tenfingers (.10f) files.

Security is of course a concern with downloading things inside a javascript on a web page, so there are restrictions on how it can be used.

If you want to try it out, and give some feedback I'd be quite happy!

To do so:

Go to this link where you can download the html & js code (3 files) and a tenfingers test link.

Put them all in a temporary folder, and open the download.html file in your favorite browser, from there you can 'load' the 10f file.

The code is slow, does not give much details of what's happening (hit F12 and check the 'console' tab (Firefox, other browsers might vary) or just check CPU usage (decryption is slow) so please be patient.

And please please report back, especially if something or nothing seems to work!

Cheers & thanks!

Latest dev news:

As there have been lots of questions about the legality to run a tenfingers node, I dived deep into the legal protections we have here in the EU, and it is called Safe Harbour Provision.

I'm not a lawyer, all help greatly appreciated! I thought that as the node do not know what it is sharing (because it is encrypted), it falls under the same legislation as internet broadband providers, but even website hosters benefit from this protection. If anyone is aware about the details about similar laws outside the EU, I'd be grateful if you can share them with me.

So you can spin up a tenfingers server node, but it obvious comes with a caveat ; there must be a way to generate takedown requests, and as a node owner, if you get one, you must comply. Much like a website.

You can now generate a takedown request from a link file, it is a simple command line and it generates a takedown file and an address file containing all the nodes carrying the data. All you have to do is to distribute the takedown request with the added takedown file to the users of the IP addresses. This is done all the time with illegal content.

If you, as a node owner, gets a takedown request you just need to execute it with a simple command to comply.

All documented Here

Again, I'm obviously not taking any legal responsibility for anything of this, as per the documentation.

Cheers

Valmond

After inquiry, I have made the server part a docker image that you can now spin up quite simply, see documentation here.

I'm new to publishing docker images so any feedback greatly appreciated.
