No. Transient nodes never announce, but worse, they never ever reset the datasource. Over a period of a few hundred requests, if it never resets the datasource, it's transient. Also if it has an invalid or void address. > okay, they've always been in a bad shape when trying to deny something, but this > change will *tell* nodes if a transient connects to them and the node can easily log > every key the trnsient node requested, leading to > the possibility to estimate which file or site the transient node's user is > retrieving. > > i'm very concerned :-/ Hmm. Suggestions? The current code will when it is desperate pick up node references from incoming queries and add the nodes to the routing table. This allows us to bootstrap considerably quicker. The eventual solution re all the requested keys, datastore attacks, is premix routing, but that is definitely post-0.6.. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
