Software or methods for more-[[security|secure]]/[[anonymous]] [[file sharing]]. If exchanging files with known parties over an ordinary file sharing network, see [[Encrypting Your Files]].

'''Note''': No action other than abstaining from any sort of file sharing is a true defence. Programs that promote [[anonymous|anonymity]] may not be 100% effective and programs with encryption are often not carefully audited and may be insecure. In avoiding audits by the [[RIAA/Safeguard|RIAA]], anonymity is more important than encryption.

=== P2P-enabled Software ===

* [[ENTROPY]] - Similar in design to Freenet (at least from the user's perspective), but written in [[C]] instead of [[Java]].
* [[Filetopia]] - a fairly large user base with strong [[traffic]] [[encryption]]. Semi-[[centralized]].
* [[FolderShare]] - commercial Windows client allowing secure file-access with provided client or a Web browser. Also locally-based (only individuals who you add). Communicates with [[centralized]] server for file listing.
* [[Freenet]] - a popular [[anonymous]] and [[secure]] information sharing P2P network using [[Java]]. Can be opened with a prefered browser, among other clients.
* [[GNUnet]] - reputation-based network. [[GPL]], part of [[GNU]] project.
* [[MUTE]] - for [[Windows]], [[OS X]], and [[Linux]], easy search-and-download that seeks to protect the privacy of its users. Developed from [[Konspire]]'s code. [[GPL]]
* [[PRIVARIA]] - for [[Windows]] - more locally-based file sharing and [[Groupware]] tools
* [[Tesla]] - A freeware, decentralized, file sharing program with IRC-style chat features and multi-source downloading.
* [[WASTE]] - a focus on small groups of file sharing members, similar to [[IM|Instant Messaging]]. [[Groupware]] meets [[social networking]] meets [[IM]]. No centralized server, although users can create [[supernodes]].

'''Similar but not quite:'''

* [[Konspire]] - development was moved from an anonymity/security-aim towards a subject-based download system

=== Adding encryption layers to P2P ===

* [[Encrypting Your Files]] - exchange encrypted files. This can be useless if your recipient doesn't know the password or cannot determine it.
* [[Encrypting Your Network Links]] - exchange files over an encrypted network. This may not work for [[hive]]-type downloads, since it is unlikely all clients would use the same type of network-layer encryption.
