Ok, I should rephrase  

"until 0.7's stability equals or exceeds that of 0.5 *and* open-net is
activated"

[freenet-support] New installation on dedicated server

2006-07-29 Thread BlueStar88
I'm back after a break.

Now i see only java-autoinstall packages to download. And the linux
variants seem to be strictly X11 dependend. So i cannot install them on
dedicated non-gui'ed linux rooties.

Is there a way to get a non X11 dependend installation package, like before?

[freenet-support] From 0.5 to 0.7

0.5 has security problems. 0.7 has security problems. Either way you are
vulnerable primarily to those nodes you are directly connected to. Who
are far fewer in 0.7, and who you hopefully already know, in 0.7.
Whereas on 0.5 you may well be connected to the [insert bad guys].

Hence the darknet model is safer - at least, it's safer from a distant
adversary. It is less safe from the point of view of a personal
betrayal. And it remains an explicit goal that it be impossible to trace
the author of an insert, however if you happen to be directly connected
to them, you have a good chance of busting them with a correlation
attack or something similar, until we implement premix routing (in 0.8).

Also there are a number of important features which are not implemented
yet, and a variety of attacks are possible. One of the big ones is that
we don't have proper encryption yet; connections are encrypted, but not
authenticated yet, so they can be MITMed or spoofed. That will be fixed
in the reasonably near future.

[freenet-support] Why is the main Download Freenet 0.7 when it's

2006-07-29 Thread Matthew Toseland
"Stable enough that updates only come a couple of times a year" ?

That will never happen, not if I have anything to do with it, certainly
not before 1.0.

0.5 had loads of updates. Granted there were periods when it had fewer
updates because people were concentrating on other things e.g.
simulations.

Now, should we try to only put out one new build number a week, or every
few days? Probably, but only after 0.7 has entered the beta phase.

I agree.  I am willing to experiment with 0.7, but until it is stable
enough that updates only come a couple of times a year and open-net is
activated, I will be keeping my main content on 0.5

This means that it's time to download all of your favorite 0.5 content and
re-insert it in 0.7 when it becomes possible.

On a related note...

If I set up a new 0.7 node, get a few refs and begin inserting content. am
I as anonymous in doing so as I am in 0.5? Is there any way to trace
content back to the node that inserted it?

What's the best plan for upgrading from 0.5 to 0.7?
Is it still so that in order to use 0.7 you have to know a node that's
already in the network? If so, can I simply pick any node from "open

Is the content under 0.7 the same or completely different?

Stable enough that updates only come a couple of times a year ?

That will never happen, not if I have anything to do with it, certainly
not before 1.0.

0.5 had loads of updates. Granted there were periods when it had fewer
updates because people were concentrating on other things e.g.
simulations.

Now, should we try to only put out one new build number a week, or every
few days? Probably, but only after 0.7 has entered the beta phase.

Ok, I should rephrase  

until 0.7's stability equals or exceeds that of 0.5 *and* open-net is
activated

 I agree.  I am willing to experiment with 0.7, but until it is stable
 enough that updates only come a couple of times a year and open-net is
 activated, I will be keeping my main content on 0.5

 personal note: I hate pgpmime, inline may be old fashioned, but it's more
 compatible

It's more standards compliant.

Perhaps, but useless to programs that do not understand pgp-mime.  Sadly, I
lack the skills to add this capability to Jack B. Nymble and I am entirely
too stubborn to change software from what has worked for me for years, thus
your msgs are not verifyable to me at all.

 
 You have to connect to a **0.7** node. Actually you have to connect to
 several. And yes, the content is different; it's an incompatible content
 reset.
=20
 This means that it's time to download all of your favorite 0.5 content and
 re-insert it in 0.7 when it becomes possible.

Yes.
=20
 On a related note...
=20
 If I set up a new 0.7 node, get a few refs and begin inserting content. am
 I as anonymous in doing so as I am in 0.5? Is there any way to trace
 content back to the node that inserted it?

0.5 has security problems. 0.7 has security problems. Either way you are
vulnerable primarily to those nodes you are directly connected to. Who
are far fewer in 0.7, and who you hopefully already know, in 0.7.
Whereas on 0.5 you may well be connected to the [insert bad guys].

Hence the darknet model is safer - at least, it's safer from a distant
adversary. It is less safe from the point of view of a personal
betrayal. And it remains an explicit goal that it be impossible to trace
the author of an insert, however if you happen to be directly connected
to them, you have a good chance of busting them with a correlation
attack or something similar, until we implement premix routing (in 0.8).

Also there are a number of important features which are not implemented
yet, and a variety of attacks are possible. One of the big ones is that
we don't have proper encryption yet; connections are encrypted, but not
authenticated yet, so they can be MITMed or spoofed. That will be fixed
in the reasonably near future.


Thanks for the clarification.  That helps my decision of what to insert
where.
