It's implemented a bit differently... You are maintaining files in your cache, if necessary but storage nodes don't maintain their stored fragments since I guess you need the whole file to maintain it... (Luzius... clarification?!) The server also doesn't seem to do much atm, but I didn't add files recently so I don't really know. – Bugreport, on September 09, 2008 18:16

Hi Tigerix, as far as I know, this feature is already implemented.
I have a few gigabytes stored in wuala, and after this change I rarely need to maintain my uploads (unless it's new and then it makes redundant copies)
sometimes you will maintain another person's file but you won't see the real information like filename etc. just that you are updating an encrypted part of it. – kobi, on September 09, 2008 17:19

Anonyomus Maintenance sounds very promising!
I would love it to be in Wuala!
When is this feature going to be released?
I just see that this post is 7 month by age...
Hope that this feature hasn't been abandoned! – Tigerix, on September 09, 2008 13:17

The Password gets hashed + then stored on the Server (think of it like the sum of the digits: Your password is 123 and "6" gets stored on the server because 1+2+3=6. Hash funktions work similar, only a little bit more complicated, to make sure 42 doesn't work as well as password ;-) ) Your originla password "123" however never leaves the client, and if an attacker finds the "6" on the server, he has no Idea if the real password was 123, 42, 33, 51...? – Bugreport, on September 07, 2008 18:49

You just enter the password on that other computer. – DataWraith, on September 07, 2008 15:41

How is it possible to access my data from another computer if the password remains on the client (as stated in Wuala FAQ) ?

file integration always worked for me and i could stream videos, now ( i think after a winxp update) it suddently stopped working :(

Filesystem integration... – Bugreport, on August 03, 2008 00:01

how? – lele67, on August 02, 2008 22:26

If Java version = webstart version: this enables you to view AND store files within Wuala. But you need an account to be able to write or store something. Anonym. access gives you only read access. – Roger, on July 21, 2008 12:39

I can only guess that the Java version will come with a view-only and (possibly later) with a write access version. The reason for this is that this applet is also meant to enable users who do not have your PW to be able to view your content iff you give them a link (that is as far as I can gather) – Darkstriker, on July 18, 2008 13:50

Was about to post the same thing, would you be able to download files to the local hard drive and or upload files from the local hard drive or will it be view only?

@bugreport: nice post, you've been doing some homework ;) – nmat, on July 16, 2008 15:25

Ok, that was convincing. Now I only need the source code to verify that my password remains at client...;-) – etu, on July 15, 2008 23:03

There are different keys: one key for your "Cryptree" (best described as a "keyring") that is derived from your password that you enter on login with the username as salt and hashed 100 000 (?) times with SHA 256 to prevent bruteforcing + rainbow-tables and the passwords to decrypt the individual parts which are derived from the SHA256 hash of the parts. All the admins have is a encrypted file in wich all your keys to files you own + can access are, and this is encrypted with the Username + PW you enter at login. Luzius, please correct me if I'm wrong! ;-) – Bugreport, on July 15, 2008 07:27

How I know that the encryption key is not sent to the admins? Is the key derived from the (weak) password making it easy to make a brute force attack?

Hint: Read through the Wuala Chat logs.

omg this duplicated files thing actually works. Today I instantaneously uploaded a 70MB file. I took me a while to figure out what happened... I only believed the file was uploaded when I logged in on another computer and tried to download it.

Take a look at http://wua.la/en/new.html - 411 to 414 were merely cleanup/small bugfix versions like saving some settings over sessions. – Bugreport, on April 22, 2008 18:02
