I.e. all JVM internal request are redirected to a <a class="" href="/p/silvertunnel-ng/wiki/Netlib%20NetLayer">NetLayer</a> and/or <a class="" href="/p/silvertunnel-ng/wiki/Netlib%20NetAddressNameService">NetAddressNameService</a> implementation of your choice, e.g. to <a class="" href="/p/silvertunnel-ng/wiki/Netlib%20TorNetLayer">TorNetLayer</a> and <a class="" href="../Netlib%20TorNetAddressNameService">TorNetAddressNameService</a>.</p> <p><a class="" href="https://silvertunnel-mirror.silvertunnel-ng.org/image/figure/adapter.png" rel="nofollow"><img alt="https://silvertunnel-mirror.silvertunnel-ng.org/image/figure/adapter.png" src="https://silvertunnel-mirror.silvertunnel-ng.org/image/figure/adapter.png" title="https://silvertunnel-mirror.silvertunnel-ng.org/image/figure/adapter.png" rel="nofollow" /></a></p> <p>In the ideal case, after the correct initialization of the Netlib Adapter(s) you are ready - your Java application is anonymized. The usage of Netlib Adapters can also applied easily to existing Java applications.</p> <h2 id="limitations">Limitations</h2> <p>Unfortunately, we cannot always use Netlib Adapters because:</p> <ul> <li>your application (that initialize the usage of Netlib Adapters) must have maximal permissions to access the JVM<ul> <li>this is no problem for standalone applications</li> <li>this is usually not the case for some kind of applications such as Java Applets or Java Web Start application</li> </ul> </li> <li>your application must initialize the Netlib Adapter quite early, i.e. before some (often-used) JDK-internal classes are used the first time<ul> <li>this is no problem if you can control the main() method and do all initialization first</li> <li>this is not always possible for some kind of applications such as Java Servlets or EJBs - they are initialize too late<ul> <li>a work around could be the implementation of an own main() method that is doing the initialization of Netlib Adapters and that then starts the application server/forwards to the main() method of the application server</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>currently, only client-side network traffic will be redirected by all adapters<ul> <li>server-side support to redirect traffic to NetServerSockets is currently not available</li> <li>this will change in the far future - please post in our <a class="" href="../forum.html">Forum</a> if it is an important feature for you</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2 id="netlib-adapters-table-of-contents">Netlib Adapters - Table of Contents</h2> <ul> <li><span><span><span>[Netlib Socket Adapter]</span></span></span>: redirect traffic from java.net.Socket<ul> <li><span>[Netlib Socket Adapter Implementation Details]</span></li> </ul> </li> <li><span>[Netlib URL Adapter]</span>: redirect traffic generated by class java.net.URL</li> <li><span><span><span>[Netlib Name Service Adapter]</span></span></span>: redirect name service requests from java.net.InetAddress<ul> <li><span>[Netlib Name Service Adapter Implementation Details]</span></li> </ul> </li> <li><span>[Netlib Java Adapter]</span>: do all redirects together</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Top: <a class="alink" href="/p/silvertunnel-ng/wiki/Netlib">[Netlib]</a>, Up: <a class="alink" href="/p/silvertunnel-ng/wiki/Netlib%20Tools">[Netlib Tools]</a>, Next: <span>[Netlib Socket Adapter]</span></p></div>Tobias BoeseSat, 23 May 2015 20:58:56 -0000https://sourceforge.net6361223ec28a5f2e2d9c72c12d95b8025bb16091
