Winny: Winny (also known as WinNY) is a Japanese peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing program which claims to be loosely inspired by the design principles behind the Freenet network and which also claimed to keep user identities untraceable. While Freenet was implemented in Java, Winny was implemented as a Windows C++ application.
The software takes its name from WinMX, where the M and the X are raised one letter in the Latin alphabet, to N and Y. As of September 2003, there were 250,000 users of the program according to the Tokyo-based Association of Copyright for Computer Software. According to P2Pnet, it is the most popular file-sharing program in Japan, with WinMX in second place.
The software was developed by Isamu Kaneko, who is a research assistant in graduate course of computer engineering at the University of Tokyo in Japan. He was also once a researcher at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (http://www.jaeri.go.jp/). Kaneko originally anonymously announced his intent of developing the software on the Download Software board (which was a board filled with copyright infringers) of the popular 2ch Japanese bulletin board
site. Since 2ch users often refer to anonymous users by their post numbers, Kaneko became to be known as "Mr. 47" ("47-Shi"), or just "47".
~The Kyoto Police claims to have analyzed Winny's anonymity features to track the users down, but have not disclosed the exact method used. The popular theory, though not verified upon, is that they had tracked the users via Winny's bulletin board feature, which does not guarantee anonymity, unlike its file transfer feature. The source codes confiscated tell information that Kaneko only knows.
