John McAfee wants to sell you a $100 gadget that blocks the NSA
Part-time fugitive and antivirus software founder John McAfee has a new invention he's working on. After spending some of his time filming a drug-fueled video tutorial to uninstall the antivirus program he helped create, McAfee now believes he can outsmart the NSA. Speaking at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center on Saturday, McAfee unveiled his grand plan to create a "D-Central" gadget that communicates with smartphones, tablets, and laptops to create decentralized networks that can't be accessed by government agencies.

The gadget might sound like something straight out of a Bond movie, but McAfee wants to build it and sell it for less than $100. "There will be no way [for the government] to tell who you are or where you are," McAfee says. Effectively, it works by creating small private networks that act as a dark web that's inaccessible to others. McAfee says he has been planning the technology for a few years, but work on the project has intensified "rapidly" over the past few months. It's not designed to replace the internet; instead it provides a localized dynamic network where users can communicate in private and share files. It will provide a private and public mode, and McAfee says he's planning to use public nodes too.

"McAfee will sell D-Central even if it gets banned in the US"

McAfee explains the device is localized and has a range of around three blocks. Everyone in those three blocks can then communicate with each other and that will obviously change as users move in and out of a local area. McAfee says he's around six months away from a prototype device, and the current one is a round shape with no screens. "We have the design in place, we're looking for partners for development of the hardware," he explains, noting there may be three or four varieties of final hardware. The whole project may never make it to retail shelves though, especially if concerns over its use result in a ban. McAfee answered questions over its criminal use by comparing D-Central to the telephone network. "Of course it will be used for nefarious purposes, just like the telephone is used for nefarious purposes." If the device gets banned in the US, McAfee says he'll simply "sell it in England, Japan, the Third World."

Re: John McAfee wants to sell you a $100 gadget that blocks the NSA
Through pure ineptitude I accidentally created a network that had no identity. It worked fine and I could go online and everything.
The only problem was when I would go onto secure network and it would "who are you" me. My network would realize it had no network ID or valid IP and the whole thing would crash and I'd have to reload both my wifi router settings.
It also eventually resulted in my host isp cutting off my connection too which was a hassle.

It was just an unintended result of trying to learn to set up a wifi/repeater network behind a wired router. No valid network IP

It was your router that was funtioning as AP most likely and therefore it seemed you didnt have any outside IP.

However to access the internet you have to have an IP otherwise your browser would simply not be able to download the data.

“It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.”

Re: John McAfee wants to sell you a $100 gadget that blocks the NSA
it's why they have a kill switch.

if they lose control of you all...yes tey have control over you.

you all are trying to maintain the belief that you can hide on the internet.

the instant you connected to the internet...you were robbed naked and blind.

you all still think you are hidden.

The top can see you all and everything.

There are billions of you that think you have secrets.

anything connected to the internet which is master...is a slave basically.

well the more positive sounding client to the server.

when they changed the terms in the past.

before in the early days.

the internet was called master...and all the people hooked up were called slaves.

so master was changed to server.

and slave was changed into client.

and you all were put to sleep to dream...

and you will fight to the death to remain asleep to enjoy the dream you are awake.

you all are all in your matrix pods right now...laying back and enjoying the mind rape.

These already exist and they're called pirate boxes. You can build them yourselves for free on a laptop or phone. Or a nice pirate beacon box for like 60 bucks. you can install it on those portable wifi hotspot devices that have openrct or whatever its called.

Why should I believe this asshole? McAfee was/is garbage antivirus that you have to pay for. First thing I have ever done with a new computer is delete that shit ASAP and download Malwarebytes for free and never have a problem. Just another douchebag trying to make more money from idiots who believe its good software just because its been around forever
