Building Subversive File Sharing With Client Side Applications

Sketches a file-sharing network built from unwitting visitors: Alice holds an idle browser on her page, feeds it chunks of a file, and JavaScript writes them into iframes that POST cross-site to Bob's and Zack's servers. Recipients verify every chunk against Alice, so a relay that notices cannot corrupt the transfer. Third-party bandwidth without third-party consent.
