Falsification
Falsification is one of the stronger privacy protection mechanisms in Zultrax P2P. It only works under ZEPP and is not used on the Gnutella protocol.
We try to keep unwanted visitors off our network. Everyone visiting the network with another goal as sharing or downloading information is an unwanted visitor.
That unwanted visitor might be interested in what you are sharing, searching or downloading. Falsification makes sure that if he already manages to get some information it will be of not much value.
Big Brother might be watching but we use some concept Big Brother is rather familiar with himself: Not telling the truth.
Whenever Zultrax P2P is exchanging information about who is sharing what it manipulates that information: 2% of it is not true. This small percentage of garbage has no real influence on the performance of Zultrax P2P although it is even for Zultrax P2P itself not possible to see the difference between true and false information.
We do not send garbage at random but there is a clear strategy behind it to optimize the use of that 2% in misleading Big Brother.
Even when Big Brother might finally succeed in getting some information about your activities on the network .... it might as well be just false. His hard work is rewarded wit information he cannot trust.
