Hi, 

It would be nice, if I could tell freenet to use standard ports for 
communication - especially for connections inside a LAN (where the possibility 
that an admin is watching all used ports might be a bit higher than on the 
internet). 

I'd think it would be useful to just test a list of ports normally used for 
communication (ideally encrypted), so that encrypted data wouldn't draw 
suspicions (and so we don't need to implement full steganography at once, but 
can move towards it). 

Maybe the option could include a list with the note "Only select services you 
DON'T want to run!"

Some ideas, not all encrypted: 

- 2190/UDP  TiVoConnect Beacon
- 2593/TCP,UDP  RunUO?Ultima Online server
- 3723/TCP,UDP  Used by many Battle.net Blizzard games (Diablo II, Warcraft 
II, Warcraft III, StarCraft)
- 3724/TCP,UDP  World of Warcraft Online gaming MMORPG
- 4000/TCP,UDP  Diablo II game
- 6619/TCP,UDP  odette-ftps, Odette File Transfer Protocol (OFTP) over TLS/SSL
- 6891?6900/TCP,UDP  Windows Live Messenger (File transfer)
- 6901/TCP,UDP  Windows Live Messenger (Voice)
- 28910  Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

(all information from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers 
I'm sure there are more...)

Is tehre any danger in using known ports? 

Best wishes, 
Arne
