Sideband is a privacy-focused, peer-to-peer mesh messaging protocol and platform that allows users to communicate directly over local networks or the internet without servers. It emphasizes metadata resistance and secure message delivery, working effectively in offline, low-bandwidth, or disaster recovery scenarios. Built-in Rust, Sideband supports encrypted group messaging, file transfers, and network self-discovery. It is ideal for use in community networks, crisis response, and decentralized communications infrastructure.

Petoron P2P Messenger (P-P2P-M) Architecture: Pure P2P - no servers, no databases Key storage: Keys generated in memory, never stored, erased after use Metadata: Only IP and port exist during the session - everything else is encrypted & obfuscated Encryption: PQS v1.2 - PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200k), BLAKE2s-MAC, custom stream cipher + fake padding Authentication: BLAKE2s-MAC (16 bytes) - instant failure on any data change Packet obfuscation: --stealth mode - padding, hidden structures Connection: Direct peer-to-peer only Anonymity: No accounts, logins, or phone numbers Third-party access: Impossible without physical access to both peers during session History: No storage — all in RAM, wiped on close Message size: Limited only by RAM & MTU — no artificial limits External dependencies: None DPI/blocking resistance: Harder to detect, can be masked Autonomy: Fully offline until peers connect 26.01.26 Add pqs_chat_tor.py github.com/01alekseev/Petoron-P2P-Messenger
