Hi JF, this discussion should move to the tech list as it's not related to day-to-day freenet development.
Anyways... I don't understand how you your idea will work. Where does the executable code come from? How is it supposed to be executed? If untrusted code is to be run on nodes, this is clearly a major security risk. Not even the Java sandbox is safe enough for this porpuse (it is susceptible to denial of service attacks by consuming all CPU and/or memory, for example). -Stefan ----- Original Message ----- From: "JF" <eigenma...@hotmail.com> To: <devl at freenetproject.org> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 6:39 PM Subject: [freenet-devl] Ideas for a FreeNet Process > > Has there been any discussion as to the possibility of creating a > FreeNet Process in the protocol. > > This Process could have the following properties: > 1) The executable would exists in the freenet, possibly split amongst many > nodes. > 2) The process could be executed by determining its set of keys and would > return screen info to the executor. > 3) The process would split its processing time amongst the nodes.* > 4) The process would use the current freenet as short term memory and long > term memory. > > The third property is the most interesting I think. > > The idea here is to set up a freenet webserver, that will run in the nodes > away from hacking and prying intruders. > The idea of distributing the process amongst nodes would make it very > difficult to hack and might even be more efficient. > The intruders wont even know where to start hacking. > > What say all? > > HackerKungFu > > > _______________________________________________ > Devl mailing list > Devl at freenetproject.org > http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
