The MUTE Network (or MUTE-net) is an unmaintained peer-to-peer file sharing network developed with anonymity in mind.

The MUTE client is open source software released under the Public domain and includes support for the Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows computer operating systems.

All MUTE compatible clients use RSA encryption to exchange keys, and AES (128 bits) to encrypt stream data.[2]

The design of the MUTE network is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.[3]

History of MUTE

MUTE was developed by Jason Rohrer using a routing algorithm based on ant colony optimization.[4]

In the same period of time (mid 2000's), MUTE was competed by the software 'AntsP2P'.[5]
