ancientribe writes "Researchers at Black Hat USA next month will demonstrate a way to use modern browsers to more easily build darknets, those underground private Internet communities where users can share content and ideas securely and anonymously. HP's Billy Hoffman and Matt Wood have created Veiled, a proof-of-concept darknet that only requires participants have an HTML 5-based browser to join — no special software or configuration necessary, like with darknets like Tor, they say. The researchers admit darknets are attractive to bad guys, too, but they say they think these more easily set up and dismantled 'nets will be more popular for mainstream (and legit) users.
