I have thought for ages of something like this, but instead of usb drivers, a wifi box with a big harddisk. You would connect to the wireless network, open browser at 192.168.0.1 and instead of a router's page, you would get to a website, with a nice interface, where you could select the files you wanted to download or upload others.
I even did some drawing and thought of solar pannels and batteries to keep it going non-stop. What demotivated me was the fact I'm living in Brazil and normal filesharing is still much easier and non-risky...
Anyway, a wifi box like this would be much more secure if done right. A complementary idea I also thought of was to make the boxes communicate with each other, much like a cloud you could access from any reachable access point.
- interro 16y agothat would be really nice!
- baltcode 16y agoDon't wireless networks know the other parties MAC IDs?

- sigstoat 16y agothey know whatever MAC address you're using at the time, sure. if that happens to be 06:66:de:ad:b3:3f, then anyone later inspecting the logs will probably be disappointed.
- zokier 16y agoAn interesting idea would be using client computers to synchronize boxes automatically in the background.
- jackolas 16y agoIt could do virus scans. So thats a bonus. Maybe if this project works that could be next.
