Hey, a few weeks ago I published a paper on brazilian congress about IPFS and IPNS.
I used it as a way for controller of botnet, a simple proof of concept.
The paper original version is in Portuguese, but I made a (not very good) version in English.
One of my main challenge when I writing this paper is there are really few academic article that uses IPFS/IPNS or others distributed web protocols. I would like if more persons write papers about it.
I would be happy with any your feedback 😄
