zeronet.py
you will be able to visit zeronet sites usinghttps://127.0.0.1:43110/{zeronet_address}
(eg.https://127.0.0.1:43110/1HeLLo4uzjaLetFx6NH3PMwFP3qbRbTf3D
). - When you visit a new zeronet site, it tries to find peers using the BitTorrent network so it can download the site files (html, css, js...) from them.
- Each visited site is also served by you.
- Every site contains a
content.json
file which holds all other files in a sha512 hash and a signature generated using the site's private key. - If the site owner (who has the private key for the site address) modifies the
site, then he/she signs the new
content.json
and publishes it to the peers. Afterwards, the peers verify thecontent.json
integrity (using the signature), they download the modified files and publish the new content to other peers.
