TinyDisk - An anonymous shared file system on top of TinyURL.
by Acidus at 12:17 am EDT, Oct 25, 2005

TinyDisk is a program from saving and retrieving files from TinyURL and TinyURL-like services such as Nanourl. It overlays a write-once-read-many anonymous, persistent and globally shared filesystem. Once something is uploaded, only the database admin can delete it. Everyone can read it. No one can know who created it. Think of it as a magical CD-R that gets burned and placed on a network.

This is a file system I demoed at Phreaknic that runs on top of the link shortening service TinyURL. Its the perfect case study of how to write meaningful extensions on top of existing web applications, which was the topic of my presentation.

I've already uploaded some fun stuff into TinyURL, like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and even TinyDisk itself. Thats right, the program to read and write to TinyURL is stored inside TinyURL! It was also very cool to see other people starting to use it.

Go download it and have some fun!

This sounds useful for creating add-on modules for open source CMS (Content Management System) web apps. Can TinyDISK or NanoURL be installed and used on a remotely hosted unix server and MySQL database, administered via FTP or through a web-baseed interface like cpanel?

Sure. NanoURL was written to test TinyDisk and to provide a framework for future services.

What most of the slashdot crowd doesn't seem to get is:

-This hack is about how things like PHP magic quotes cannot secure you if your web application design is bad.
-This hack is about how to write extensions to web applications, hopefully adding value to them (Chicagocrime.org)
-This hack could be applied to nearly any service on the Internet.
-This hack is crippled by default to *NOT* flood TinyURL.
-This hack is supposed to be fun. Come on, there's a picture of a dude hugging a Penguin in there now!

TinyDisk is a good hack.

I was doing some searching around yesterday, and it appears there is some interest in this tool coming from China.
