Thoughts? P2P javascript finally here? No need for flash anymore?

P2P javascript
That is the most horrible idea I've heard of in a long time.
Holy shit is it ever insecure.
If this catches on get ready for a whole new generation of intrusive spying by advertising companies

Why? Flash has p2p, what is the difference if javascript has it too?

Isn't it currently common practice to only allow javascript connections to the current domain?
If not javascript should simply be wiped off the map

You can't just send requests to whatever address.
Peers need to shake hands, if one side isn't even aware of it it won't happen.

So what's to stop an advertising company or hacker from putting javascript on a page to make you handshake with them?

Well, when you close the page it will be gone. Also, it will only have access to whatever is on that page (it won't have access to other pages). So I think it is pretty harmless, whatever you can do you still could do with just the XSS sending posts to them with img tags.

I thought this required a middle man.

Middle man IS requuired. After discovery, handshake starts and do to whatever you want.
This probably will be the rebirth of "Anonymous" and new breed of worms, now in JS!
Domain limitation was passed long time ago.
Hmm interesting idea
