0.5 got pretty much the same security problems as 0.7 do and there is
no cap on bandwidth, toad denied it in the a reply to the mail you
replied to and I can confirm it as an user too, it may be slow but
it's faster than 0.5, retain content better and there is no cap that

 Maybe. There are a few hacks that would give *some* plausible
 deniability... Well, you have some plausible deniability *now*, but
 nothing that would stand up to a statistical attack...

 So essentially, if I'm looking for anonymity that can stand up to a serious
 attacker that has access to anything 2.5 billion dollars can buy, then I'd
 be better off using 0.5 for now insted of 0.7.

 Thank you for making that clear.  I have large (2 to 20gb) files to
 distribute (no, they're not cp), that I must have very good plausible
 deniability and be able to stand up to at least a statistical attack like
 you're talking about.

 BTW- I read in a msg on Frost that 0.7 is speed limited to 10mb per day to
 make it more difficult for people to insert large, possibly copyrighted or
 cp binaries.  Is this for real or does that poster not know what they're
 talking about?

 If for example only, I start an 0.7 node and begin to insert warez and cp,
 am I anonymous enough even from my peers to be safe or will the feds come
 knocking my door down?

 [remembering that free speech includes allowing stuff you abhor as well as
 what you agree with.]

I find it funny that all of these 0.7 users are saying that the 0.7 network is
better and more secure than the 0.5 network.  They say this even while we see
these warnings about critical bug fixes, peers in the 0.7 network being able
to monitor what comes from your node, and the IRC channels where people trade
references could have cops monitoring or actively trading these references.
Now you mention that there is a cap on bandwidth.  WTF?


0.5 got pretty much the same security problems as 0.7 do and there is
no cap on bandwidth, toad denied it in the a reply to the mail you
replied to and I can confirm it as an user too, it may be slow but
it's faster than 0.5, retain content better and there is no cap that
I've run into yet. There is still work to be done on speeding it up
but the current speed limit(whatever it is) is not intentional.



This is why I'm staying with the 0.5 network until either 0.7 becomes useful,
or another anonymous network (ANts  http://antsp2p.sourceforge.net/)
surpasses the 0.5 network in usability, popularity, and security.

It would be sad to see Freenet become just a footnote in the computer
chronicles while other anonymous networks become more popular and Freenet
loses it's user base.  Maybe some Chinese Christian dissident will use it to
speak freely, but it won't matter much if there is no one to listen.

You do realise that freenet and limewire are not trying to solve the
same problem, right?

Freenet is trying to do highly annonymous communication and publishing.

Limewire is trying to do fast and not nearly(I'm not even sure if they
try to) as annonymous filesharing.

Except they won't be using the opennet at all if they're serious
enough about keeping their net and themselves safe that they won't use
IRC to find new connections.

The end result of using opennet and getting refs through IRC is the
same, except it's a little easier for both them and the possible
attacker with opennet as it's completely automated.

 Ian,

 How can freenet grow to be a global network unless someone in one group
 trades connection information with someone in another group?

 Hypothetical - A group of people in England, another in France, another in
 Russia, and another in China have grown individual trusted 0.7 freenets. No
 one in any of these groups knows someone in the other freenet group, and
 they don't want to just advertise in IRC chat to find someone to connect to

Waste doesn't scale nearly as well as freenet 0.7 so there is a reason
to do it. Besides, if we don't get a darknet it'll all be a wasted
effort in a few years when they outlaw freenet for some reason which I
believe will happen and I'd be surprised if it take more than 5 more
years.

For now that is true, they could just go on IRC and get connected but
I'm talking about in the long run and people who are way too cautious
to do something as silly as that. Anyway the IRC thing is just for
bootstrapping the main network the devs are trying to create. People
who want to have their own private darknets can easily do so too.

What will you do when freenet is made illegal and all the nodes are
being harvested and blocked by a national firewall? Then the whole
network fall apart, this can not happen with a darknet if it's done
right. To take down a darknet you have to find participants and trick
them to letting you in and then you can start finding out which hosts
are part of it.

It's a lot easier, cheaper and faster to take down an opennet than a darknet.

 Freenet 0.5 is an opennet. You connect to any random node that happens
 to be on. Freenet 0.7 doesn't have this yet. In 0.7, there is no main
 network. There might be now, but the idea of the way it currently is
 setup is to allow small groups to connect without connecting to
 everyone else. Pretty much, there's nowhere for the content to go.
 It'd be like trying to move everything on the internet to your local
 LAN.
 That, and it's just a complete program re-write I believe. It's quite
 easy to 'convert' the content...open a page, save it, and then
 re-upload it. The data stores work differently, and anyways the data
 is distributed, so there wouldn't be any easy way to move it over.

  From what I've seen here, there is a huge base of Freenet users on 0.5,

I guess you mean there will be all these small darknets of people who are
isolated from the rest of the wrold because they don't know anyone they can
trust so they will never give out their node information. If that were the
case, I wouldn't be running a freenet server right now. I would be me, with
freenet running; an isolated entity within my own darknet, because I've
never met anyone who has ever said they were running freenet.

True, but the opennet isn't illegal.
I'm not in any way saying the darknet shouldn't be added...it's a
great feature...but freenet has always been an opennet, and that
should be done first. People who want a darknet are probably already
using other programs like Waste. If they start thinking about making
the opennet form of freenet illegal, we'll know long before it
happens. And there will be plenty of people (EFF, ACLU, etc) fighting
it. I realize there are other countries where they can't use an
opennet, but like I said, there are other darknet programs out there.
That's not what freenet is.


Waste doesn't scale nearly as well as freenet 0.7 so there is a reason
to do it. Besides, if we don't get a darknet it'll all be a wasted
effort in a few years when they outlaw freenet for some reason which I
believe will happen and I'd be surprised if it take more than 5 more
years.

The problem with this is that it's very cheap and easy to infiltrate
such a network compared to the darknet aproach that 0.7 is taking.
It's just a matter of having enough bandwidth, and a slightly modified
freenetnode and you can pretend to be a lot of nodes(or you could just
run a lot of nodes) and get connected all over the network and start
snooping on stuff. Then a bunch of CPU time to crack the encryption
used.

Very easy to automate and very cheap compared to what you have to do
to do the same on a darknet.

On a darknet you have to use social engineering to trick members to
letting you in, and that mean you also have to find a member first if
they have a small network by themselves instead of using the main
network.

 someone else. Since I know absolutely no other person who is running Freenet
 I had to learn how to use IRC Chat so I could ask someone if I could connect
 to them. These connections are my sole points of contact to Freenet. I have
 no idea how 0.5 handles finding nodes. I don't know who these people are.
 For all I know they could be individuals living on the other side of town,
 the country, or the world and they could just as easily be members of MI5,
 FBI, CIA, or any number of other organizations who monitor and track
 messages on the internet. I do know their IP address, and they know mine. I
 tried to find some people who run 24/7 since having a PC dedicated to Freent
 fulltime, without having someone who is also on 24/7 is not worth much.

 I have 7 people who have exchanged node information with me. Of the 7 nodes,
 none are currently connected to me, and if I understand the information, the
 last to go offline did so more than 14 hours ago. I can wait to see if they
 come back online, or I can go back into the IRC chat and try to find new
 nodes. I absolutely hate having to spend time in IRC chat trying to get
 people to exchange connection information with me. I have better things to
 spend my time on, and if Freenet wants my machine and bandwidth it's going
 to have to make sure it stays connected.

 Freenet should have me put in a single node, any node, even one found on IRC
 chat, and spider the rest of Freenet establishing and making new connection
 to ensure it stays connected, or it should do something else to
 automatically establish connections. At any rate, once that connection is
 made, Freenet should randomly move my connections throughout the Freenet. I
 should never have hard and firm connections. By 'floating' my connections
 throughout Freenet it can honestly be said I don't know who I'm connected to
 and am simply a node in a collective whole.

 I'm going to continue to watch the forum and see how things progress. I'll
 leave my current 0.7 Freenet installed and over the coming weeks decide
 whether to continue, remove and install 0.5, or just shut down completely.

No peers will be added automatically. The general concensus is that a
fitting amount of peers is 5 to 20 peers depending on bandwidth
constraints and how many people you trust.

OK so far.

1. When I do this process and connect to a few nodes, are those the only
nodes to which I will ever connect, or does the act of joining the network

nodes whose references I don't explicitly add myself?

2. If/when the open net appears, will it be completely separate from the
darknet or will being in the darknet automatically join my node to the open
network?

Thank you in advance for any answers you can give.

 Is your computer very short on RAM? Freenet 0.7 shouldn't cause freezing
 of your PC, though it's conceivable that it might push it over the edge
 if it hasn't got enough RAM; how much RAM does your PC have? Hint:
 anything less than 256MB on Windows XP is really dodgy...

 Please tell us whether uninstalling Freenet solves the freezing problem,

If it's freenet 0.5 try waiting a day or two with the node running.
If it's freenet 0.7 you should exchange references with people, most
people seem to be doing this on #freenet-refs on freenode IRC(
irc.freenode.net ).

I can't remember what it's called exactly but there's some program on
windows for managing services, open that and find freenet in the list,
stop it, set it to need to start manually to run and then delete the
folder you installed freenet in. You can not get the service to not be

 then it will show me the html without any CSS data.

 They see this on the freenode IRC channel #freenet as well and I was

[freenet-support] Is it important to change the default port ?

2006-03-26 Thread Lars Juel Nielsen
If I recall right it's randomly selected when you install freenet so
you should probably change it since you told us what your port it and
it could thus help us figure out who you are in the net.

If you have a machine running windows I'd advise you to use it for
freenet instead, the bug in java 1.4.2 for OS 10.3.x tend to crash the
system too often to make using freenet enjoyable at all.
