[freenet-support] HUSH! Usability and Security Hackathon

2015-05-05 Thread Michael Rogers
Hi,

I'd like to invite the Freenet project to the HUSH! Usability and
Security Hackathon at Cardiff University in June. Please drop me a line
if you have any questions!

Cheers,

 HUSH! Usability and Security Hackathon
 18-19 June 2015
 Cardiff University, UK


The DCSS Project (Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society) is
hosting a two-day hackathon for usable and secure software in
conjunction with the Surveillance and Citizenship Conference.

The conference and hackathon will take place at Cardiff University on
18-19 June.

The goals of the hackathon are:

* To build relationships between designers, developers and users of
security tools

* To share ideas, experiences and skills for creating usable and secure
software

* To understand the communication needs of activists, journalists and
civil society groups

* To sit in a dark room hacking away at our laptops while the sun is
shining outside

REGISTRATION IS FREE if you give a lightning talk about your work.

http://www.dcssproject.net/

The hackathon will take place in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Cardiff
has an international airport and is easily reachable from Bristol
Airport and London Heathrow. Cardiff is two hours from London by train.

For information about the hackathon, please contact Michael Rogers:
mich...@briarproject.org

For information about the conference, please contact Jonathan Cable:
dcssproj...@cardiff.ac.uk

Conference organizing committee:
Dr Arne Hintz (Cardiff University), Prof Karin Wahl-Jorgensen (Cardiff
University), Dr Lina Dencik (Cardiff University), Prof Ian Brown (Oxford
University), Dr Michael Rogers (Briar Project, Technical University of
Delft), Dr Jonathan Cable (Cardiff University)

Eeeek! That's a really wierd one. Make absolutely sure that there weren't two 
copies of Freenet running at the same time, then register an account on the bug 
tracker and report a bug including this stack dump and preferably wrapper.log 
and any ERRORs related in logs/.

Can you reproduce this bug on demand or is it just something wierd that 
happened once?

[freenet-support] Free Project Redirects

2010-02-05 Thread Michael C. Thorogood
When I try to look at different pages on your site, I always get 
redirected back to the page requesting  donations.


I'm not sure whether this is intentional or not, but I already donated 
(monthly), and this is annoying.

[freenet-support] How to clear my request cache?

2009-09-01 Thread Michael Yip
Hi,

I have noticed that one the nodes I'm running has cacched so many 
requests that it sends around 20k of them on every restart.

How do I actually clear the cache?

Thanks,

Re: [freenet-support] ?spam? Re: Automating console interface

2009-08-24 Thread Michael Yip
Hi,

What I'm looking to do is to somehow automate the process of uploading a
  set of documents on one end of my on darknet and request the documents
from the other end.

I'm trying to measure how the HTL value and key closeness may expose the
requester's identity.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Michael

 Hi all,

 I'm currently carrying out a research project on Freenet to try and
 measure the amount of information one can gain from the observable
 attributes.

 I was wondering if there's any way I can automate the commands through
 the Freenet console interface, in the same way one can write a shell
 script to automate shell commands?

 Thanks for your help in advance.

 If i would be doing something like this i would edit the code itself putting 
 System.err.println(Attribute1 = +attribute1.toString()) of the attributes 
 that 
 i need to capture and then write something to parse wrapper.log file which is 
 where it all will end up.

[freenet-support] Peer IP address leakage?

2009-08-23 Thread Michael Yip
Hi,

My name is Michael and I'm currently studying the source code of Freenet.

I have found that the object reference for all PeerNode objects has the 
IP address of the peer associated with it. How is anonymity kept with 
the IP of the peer exposed? I have examined the log file and it seems 
the object reference of the peers are logged as they are added.

What I'm confused is since Freenet seek to promote freedom of speech in 
the presence of strict government control, if they decide to run a 
Freenet node and collect IP addresses in this manner, the consequences 
would be unthinkable

I have tested this by adding another node of mine and my IP address 
appears as expected.

Can anyone explain to me why??

Thanks,

Michael

 Hi Michael...
 it is correct that your IP would be known by your neighbour node, but, 
 he is the only one to be able to identify you... more, and beside the 
 fact of being able to be sure that you are using Freenet (only sure of 
 this), even so, he has no way of knowing if the info or file or 
 whatever, coming to you, or going from you, did or not come or go 10 
 nodes away from you, since you act also (as a node) in passing 
 packets... and anyway, even so, he is (and you are, and any of your 
 neighbours) unable to know the content of the package, if you didn't 
 create it yourself or ask yourself for it since only the original 
 sender and final receiver are able to know it's content.
 Hope it was clear...


Hi,
   
Thanks for your reply.

Taking from the point that IP addresses are known to your peers, I 
have another question.
   
I've noticed that the hop-to-live counter is decremented according 
to the policy of:
 1)  the source node of the request,
 2) the node which recently reported fail for a data request or
 3) the node handling the request (usually because the node is the 
source of the request)

Ok, so what if I modify the code for my node so that:
  
1) maxHTL = 1
2) decrementAtMin = false
3) disableProbabilisticHTLs = false

   Would this mean that my peers would not forward my message any 
further? This is because if so, this would allow me to probe my peers 
using my set of keys for data

Thanks,

Michael

 have another question.

I've noticed that the hop-to-live counter is decremented according
 to the policy of:
 1)  the source node of the request,
 2) the node which recently reported fail for a data request or
 3) the node handling the request (usually because the node is the

 using my set of keys for data
 

 Your peers will sometimes pass on requests at min htl, specifically to
 avoid this problem.  That's what the probabilistic htl thing is for.

 Turning off probabilistic htl only turns it off on your node; it
 doesn't change your peers config, obviously.  So turning it off will
 let other people probe your store, but doesn't help you probe theirs.

 Evan Daniel
   
Hi Evan,

But what I've found from the source code (the Node class and the 
RequestSender class) is that the HTL of a request would actually be 
decremented according to the SOURCE of a request (that is, if a source 
exists e.g. the node is forwarding a request). Also, it could also be 
decremented according to the most recently failed node if the request 
has been forwarded beforehand. Only if neither exists would the request 
be decremented according to the node handling the request.

This is at least as far as I understand from the source code so if 
anyone can point out otherwise, I would be glad to hear it.

Thanks,

Michael

 Hi,

 My name is Michael and I'm currently studying the source code of Freenet.

 I have found that the object reference for all PeerNode objects has the
 IP address of the peer associated with it. How is anonymity kept with
 the IP of the peer exposed? I have examined the log file and it seems
 the object reference of the peers are logged as they are added.

 What I'm confused is since Freenet seek to promote freedom of speech in
 the presence of strict government control, if they decide to run a
 Freenet node and collect IP addresses in this manner, the consequences
 would be unthinkable

 I have tested this by adding another node of mine and my IP address
 appears as expected.

 Can anyone explain to me why??

 Thanks,

 Michael

 Hi Michael...
 it is correct that your IP would be known by your neighbour node, but,
 he is the only one to be able to identify you... more, and beside the
 fact of being able to be sure that you are using Freenet (only sure of
 this), even so, he has no way of knowing if the info or file or
 whatever, coming to you, or going from you, did or not come or go 10
 nodes away from you, since you act also (as a node) in passing
 packets... and anyway, even so, he is (and you are, and any of your
 neighbours) unable to know the content of the package, if you didn't
 create it yourself or ask yourself for it since only the original
 sender and final receiver are able to know it's content.
 Hope it was clear...


   
 
Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Taking from the point that IP addresses are known to your peers, I
 have another question.

I've noticed that the hop-to-live counter is decremented according
 to the policy of:
 1)  the source node of the request,
 2) the node which recently reported fail for a data request or
 3) the node handling the request (usually because the node is the
 source of the request)

Ok, so what if I modify the code for my node so that:

1) maxHTL = 1
2) decrementAtMin = false
3) disableProbabilisticHTLs = false

   Would this mean that my peers would not forward my message any
 further? This is because if so, this would allow me to probe my peers
 using my set of keys for data
 
   
 Your peers will sometimes pass on requests at min htl, specifically to
 avoid this problem.  That's what the probabilistic htl thing is for.

 Turning off probabilistic htl only turns it off on your node; it
 doesn't change your peers config, obviously.  So turning it off will
 let other people probe your store, but doesn't help you probe theirs.

 Evan Daniel
   
 
 Hi Evan,

 But what I've found from the source code (the Node class and the 
 RequestSender class) is that the HTL of a request would actually be 
 decremented according to the SOURCE of a request (that is, if a source 
 exists e.g. the node is forwarding a request). Also, it could also be 
 decremented according to the most recently failed node if the request 
 has been forwarded beforehand. Only if neither exists would the request 
 be decremented according to the node handling the request.

 This is at least as far as I understand from the source code so if 
 anyone can point out otherwise, I would be glad to hear it.

 Thanks,

 Michael

Hi all,

After examining the source code further, I have found that the peers of 
a node which are represented by the class PeerNode, have their own set 
of probablistic HTL factors.

Such factors (decrementHTLAtMaximum and decrementHTLAtMinimum) in the 
PeerNode DO NOT actually follow the factors of the peers they represent.

This means that each Freenet node actually has full control over how it 
decrements the HTL of the requests that it processes. This means that 
the peer which sent the request has no control over how the HTL of that 
request is to be decremented at the destination node. Thus, a node 
cannot probe by setting its maxHTL value to 1 and disableProbablisticHTL 
= true.

Can anyone please confirm this for me?

Thanks,

Michael

The biggest problem is IMHO that the links in the start menu point to 
programs which should run with administrator privilegies. A simple 
right-click-preferences-compatibility-run as administrator is 
enough. Freenet runs beautifully under Vista (tested with Vista Business 
x64 with java 6 u13). A page explaining this, linked from the downloads 
page, would be a good workaround in time. Should be under an hour to

Re: [freenet-support] [Tech] Some issues and considerations

2008-01-22 Thread Michael Rogers
Hi Stephen,

 In the UK, a new law has been brought in which would make 
 it a crime for a suspect who has encrypted data on his computer to fail 
 to reveal the password to the police.

The police can only issue a disclosure order if they believe on reasonable 
grounds... that a key to the protected information is on the possession of 
the person in question. I'm not a lawyer but that suggests a defence on the 
basis that you don't have, and have never had, the key in question.

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukpga_2023_en_8#pt3-pb1-l1g49

 And in the USA, users with encrypted content are 
 curently protected by a constitutional right to privacy which prevents 
 police from compelling them to disclose their passwords. But right now 
 even that right is being put into question with an important test case 
 taking place (see link below)...

The test case relates to users who know a password but refuse to disclose 
it; it does not relate to users who don't know a decryption key (which 
would be too long for most people to memorise anyway).
 
 It is also important to point 
 out that at least in the USA the NSA avails itself to the use of advanced 
 programs that can carry out advanced 'dictionary analysis' to permute 
 nearly every possible combination of letters and numbers for a 'brute 
 force' attack to discover the password for an encrypted file - a process 
 that can take years.

Again, this is not strictly relevant - a password can be cracked using 
brute force, but a 256-bit encryption key can't.

 Secondly, there 
 are government installations in the UK (for instance a new MI6 building 
 on the London enbankment, which has the national internet traffic 
 channeled through it) which carry out surveillance of communications 
 including internet communications. This surveillance includes not just 
 keyword profiling but also several other different kinds of intelligent 
 and statistical analysis of the traffic itself, even where encrypted 
 files are involved, and an significant intelligence perspective can be 
 obtained in this way.

Yes, traffic analysis is a very important issue. Freenet does its best to 
frustrate traffic analysis by using a transport protocol with no 
unencrypted header fields, delaying and coalescing small packets to 
disguise timing patterns, and padding packets to disguise the size of the 
payload. Nevertheless I'm sure it's possible to design a rule for a deep 
packet inspection engine that will identify Freenet traffic.

A possible direction for future research would be hiding Freenet traffic 
inside other application-layer protocols (HTTP, BitTorrent, RTP etc).

Cheers,
Michael

Correction. The aforementioned error is wrong.

Here's the correct java error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: element name is not legal

 You can download the latest trunk version here :
 http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/ (pick the one with the
 biggest number : freenet-rX-snapshot.jar)
 and overwrite your freenet.jar with it.
 
 Or you can just wait for next release and update manually

[freenet-support] Installation

2007-02-20 Thread Michael Garlick
I've tried to install Freenet three times now.

After "Setting Up Plug-Ins"



The following is displayed:



"Detecting tcp port availability"

"Downloading update.cmd"

"Downloading freenet-ext.jar"

"Downloading freenet-stable-latest.jar"

"Installing the wrapper"

"Registering Freenet as a system service"

wrapper  | Freenet 0.7 darknet---- installed.

The Freenet 0.7 darknet- service is starting...

The Freenet 0.7 darknet- service could not be started.



A system error has occurred.



System error 1067 has occurred.



The process terminated unexpectedly.



Can anyone give me a solution to the above problem?



Thanks Mike

[freenet-support] Re: Support Digest, Vol 16, Issue 19

2004-11-26 Thread Michael
I jumped the Freenet ship over a month ago and swam to the easy safety
of Entropy.  Maybe not all the content but hey, it works and works and
doesn't need updates of anything(java or otherwise), it is consistent,
fast, and I don't have to maintain, re-maintain, shutdown, restart,
reconfigure, renothing to keep it going, plus, no bickering on the chats
over what is the problem du jour with the networks or nodes.
Danke.  
I may return to check out Freenet some day.  Marginally possible.

 I've been getting TFE fine, but I haven't been able to load FIND for almost
 a
 week.  The lists are pretty silent lately, as well.  Conspiracy theory,
 anyone?
 
 No, the explanation is simply this, that many active (meaning formerly
 inserting/posting) Freenetters have gone over to i2p. Not only do you see
 icons such as thetower guy there, but a lot of other ex-freenetters, some of
 which still didn't leave Freenet completely (like me).
 
 I've been pointing that out in the irc chan too, but I got slapped on the
 wrist for it. aparently, saying the obvious is 'not done'. For the first
 time, Freenet has some serious competition, and it's not performing well,
 speaking in a darwinian sense. As yet, it doesn't seem to affect finances
 that much, but once you start to lose interest and people go to another
 (promising) I2P, that can't be far away.
 
 I have said many times before that there is a lack of progress, or at least
 a sense of progress, certainly for the ordinary freenet user (and, in fact,
 for the end-user there HAS been little progress). The development cycle of
 Freenet is NOT normal, not even for a new-technology-beta. It seems that
 Freenet is performing better...but  compared to what? To how it was a year
 ago? No doubt, back then it was totally bork. It's a pitty we don't have
 performance testing logs, but I suspect that it's now about as good as it
 was 2 years ago...hmmm. Yesyes, I know a lot of technological goodies have
 been added, but that doesn't interest Joe Doe: he just wants it to work, and
 good. That means, primarely; finding something he wants, and d/l it fast,
 and, seen the fact it's freenet, in a safe manner.
 
 Freenet doesn't do all that.
 
 Now, granted, though I have been pleasantly surprised, neither does I2P, as
 yet. But the difference is, they are working 4 months on it, and have come a
 long way and  they *are*  improving dramatically. With that pace they are
 gaining support rapidly, as already can be seen (and that's why it has
 suddenly become more quiet on the posts, and Freesites are less and less
 being updated). The moment the DHT is ready, Freenet will not offer anything
 en plus, practically speaking.
 
 Now, I'm ambigous about this all. In theory, competition is a good
 thing...only it doesn't seem to have any impact, here. It's mostly being
 ignored, and when someone points it out, it's not welcomed. Furthermore, I
 don't think two main anonymity projects can be maintained by the OSS crowd,
 at least not the way it is done now. what is taken by one is at the loss of
 the other one, and vice versa, me thinks.
 
 That's why, in a former post, I tried to stimulate both parties to try to
 merge their technology and forces...but to no apparent avail. Is it that
 difficult to see that both projects have specific advantages, that would or
 at least could benefit both? Geez. Freenet has potential, it still has, but
 it just lays there as a dead horse, and i2p is has great ease-to-use
 promise, but still has to prove some basic things, like being able to scale
 (not that Freenet is out of the loop with that one neither).
 
 Anyways, when I pointed this out, I got the remark I was bulshitting,
 because I didn't even run a node anymore. Which was true, because I told so:

Can freenet be made to not conscript so much ram?

[freenet-support] Problems with Freenet: from a windows perspective.

2004-08-18 Thread Michael DeLisle
	I recently installed a new node from scratch on a Windows XP SP2 box, 
and here are my observations.

	While there's lots of talk about SP2 limiting TCP connections, I 
haven't see any real issues with it.

	On the negative side, freenet-java-webinstall.exe is configured to 
install Sun JRE 1.4.1, when I believe it should install 1.4.2.

	After 5 hours of uptime I only have 72 open connections.  This was a 
problem I experienced on my linux based node too; either the 
seednodes.ref file is inadequate (weighing in at 26mB!) or Freenet 5091 
isn't aggressive enough about meeting maxNodeConnections.

	I would also like to point out that I'm currently only using ~50% of 
my upstream bandwidth, based on frequent observation of the General 
Information page.  Perhaps Freenet should be more apt to take 
advantage of newbie nodes?

	If there's any other information that would be of assistance, please 
let me know.

[freenet-support] Data down a hole

2004-08-16 Thread Michael
Why cannot Freenet retain it's previous states better?  
And, why, when I update to each newer version, must I lose 
connections that I had before(YoYo for example) which have to 
rebuild themselves up to their previous state of connectivity?
Looks to me(an un-knowing one) like there should be a way where
my Freenet browsing will attain a state of specialization peculiar 
to what I use regularly.  It seldom does this(and yes, even using 
a large browser cache and also using a 10 gig data store).
Is there a fix in existence or is that reserved for version 6000+?
P.S. With 5091 this particular data hole issue worsened.

Not really, but enlarging your datastore all the time will prevent

 Fair enough. Would you say that the solution is to make sure the images
 load the first time from IMG SRCs?

If that were possible, sure. At least if they are available. If not
(like edition headers), Freenet will not manage it to fetch it...

It might at least try a bit longer. Usually images RNF in only a few
seconds here...

 Why is it a dirty hack?

Do you think it is usual behaviour to put images into IFRAMEs? 


I have only seen that on Freenet. And since it is more work (and needs
more resources on most browsers) and is only done to work around
another problem, I usually call thinks like this a dirty hack.

So:

- there is a usual solution (IMG tags for images).

- it does not work in a specified environment (Freenet).

- there is no interest to fix that solution in this environment,
  because

- there is a simple way to work around that problem (IFRAME)

- which uses techniques not appropriate for the problem (starting a
  whole HTML parser subinstance just for rendering an image) and

- makes migration of existing work harder (mirroring a website into
  Freenet requires s/img/iframe/)

== dirty hack.

What I can't figure is this...
When I stop Freenet for whatever reason, and then restart it, it looks

we go again, tapping fingers on desk, going for coffee, taking a nap,
going out for a movie, taking a vacation when, upon return, VOILA, I'm
back to where I was before restarting Freenet.
   

What are you complaining about here? Is data being lost from the store
or are you just annoyed that it takes so long to restart the node?
 

Anytime I've had to restart my node, it appears that the data store is 
just plain gone. I can go from having my resources at 60+% full one 
minutes, restart, and I'm at 0. That and it then seems to need to be 
active again for 10+ hours before clicking on anything is practical. 
Unfortunately I'm only able to run a transient node at the moment, 
something I'm working to remedy, and doing so seems almost worthless.

Unfortunately, from what I'm understanding of the rest of your response, 
it doesn't sound as if there's anything to be done about this, other 
then not restart. Is that a correct interpretation ?

Snipped the flamebait !
 This sounds like a bug, and since the thread 
doesn't specify stable/unstable what conclusion can you come to?

You *should* be able to shut down the node and restart it without much of a 
problem.  If someone was in the middle of a transfer from your node, I 
would expect it gets restarted or drops out.  At any rate once the data is 
in your datastore it will stay there until it's forced out by more recent 
data.

I was running stable and still announcing my presence to test the node 
out, don't know about the other person who brought this up.

Irregardless, it has been pointed out by multiple people that until 
you're had your node up for quite some time, some have said as long as 
48 hours, that you're not going to be able to make any connections. I've 
found this to be very accurate, and even after running for 2 1/2 days 
up, I was still getting couldn't get key and the like errors on most 
links I clicked. It seemed that they'd either come up almost instantly, 
or not at all.

Thank you ! You summed up rather nicely what I was trying to get across. 
If someone wants to install Linux rather then Windows, then they'll do 
so. If they're curious, then they'll ask about it. But if someone is 
asking for an answer to a very specific question, then turning it into 
an excuse to tell them how ignorant they are for not doing it your way 
seems rather counter to the concept of a support group.

And while there is a group out there that feels that the sun rises and 
sets on Linux, until the number of systems running it comes even close 
to 1% of the number of computers currently in use, all it is is a small 
niche that's not going to be supported by the mainstream. And, if it 
ever does take off, and surplant Windows as the standard, then the 
hackers will just start writing their malicious code to infect it, and 
it'll be some other niche group ranting about how secure their systems are.

Perhaps it wasn't you that made the first comment, but the first person

I NEVER said I trusted Microsoft ! I don't even really like Microsoft, 
and I agree that Windows isn't a great OS. What I disagree with is your 
assertion that it's possible to do all the same things with Linux as you 
can with Windows. Yes, there is more software being produced now that 
will run under Linux, but there's no where near the same variety.

It's already got something like 25-30% of the web server market.  Don't

engineering of these systems that makes them more secure?
 

And ? You're just helping make my point. 25-30% of a small portion of 
the total computer market is what in terms of totla number of computers 
? I'm still guessing it's less then 1%. Most of Freenet, how many 
Freenet nodes are out there ? 2500 or so ? Again, a small niche market. 
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with Linux. I've said several 
times now, that I agree that Linux is more secure then Windows, I just 
think that using any oppurtunity to try to push it is just plain stupid. 
The average computer user, not technician or programmer, is running 
Windows. When they ask for help configuring a piece of software, so that 
Freenet works ON THIER SYSTEM, telling them to go out and buy another 
system to install Linux on, or that they should wipe their existing OS 
and run Linux, just so that they can run a Freenet node is moronic. If 
you want to expand Freenet, the way to do it is not by making it seem 
like the only way to do so is on a Linux system.

As to responding more intelligently then the ranter, well I'd say that 
isn't all that tough to do. What is hard to do is is to have a 
reasonable discussion when the other person chops out the majority of 
your post, and then responds to a small snippet as if that were it's 
entirety. (Yes, I snipped a bunch from this last post, cheifly the more 
insulting crap.)

I would.  A linux one.  Or better, a BSD one.  With daily updates.  The
firewall really wouldn't help all that much for me, although I do use
NAT as an effective firewall for the internal network. 

U, no offense, but are you just being intentionally argumentative ? 
My post started out by saying that I agreed with the original poster 
that Linux was more secure then Windows, but that since most people 
aren't going to take the time to hook up a linux box between their 
primary PC and the internet, or use Linux as their primary OS, the 
alternative was to use a router and to NOT hook their PC directly to a 
cable/DSL connection.

I really don't think anyone is arguing that Linux isn't more secure then 
Windows, but you're discussing apples and oranges here. Most people are 
NOT using Linux, therefore the average discussion is, by default, going 
to be based on Windows unless they've specified otherwise. Jumping into 
these discussions and citing Linux examples is pretty much useless, 
especially when the thread was someone asking how to install/configure a 
piece of WINDOWS software on a WINDOWS based system. Shout the 
advantages of Linux as much as you'd like, in threads ON linux, but what 
is the point of trying to muddy up a thread that has absolutely nothing 
to do with Linux, just because you feel it's a better system ? This 
would be like me going onto a board discussing how to do engine repair 
on a Honda and throwing out tips on how to fix a Dodge, in every thread !

Would someone step me through setting up Norton Internet Security

1) Find the IP address of my NAT or Firewall.
 
The FAQ says to consult my manual but I can't find this information.
It depends on whether or not you're using a router.
If you aren't, then go to a command prompt (DOS prompt) and type 
IPconfig. (this is the command for XP, it'll be slightly different under 
different OS) This will give you the IP of your computer.
If you are, go to the router console, this will usually involve opening 
your browser and entering the URL of the router, typically 192.168.1.1 
or 192.168.0.1. If you've added a password, you'll be prompted for it. 
Once you're in the console, look for a tab that says Status. Look under 
the WAN heading for the IP address. This will be your broadcast IP, 
what's seen by the internet, and that's what you need to enter. The LAN 
IP will just be the local IP of your PC within your own little network, 
and will be something similiar to the router's URL (192.168.1.xxx) or 
(192.168.0.xxx). This IP is only important for when you configure the 
router or firewall port to pass any requests for your freenet port to 
the PC that's hosting the node.

Hope this helps. Feel free to e-mail me direct if you need further 
assistance.

[freenet-support] Connecting to Freenet ?

2004-06-03 Thread Michael R. Stork
Hi there
I'm trying to set up a Freenet node, and I'm not having any luck at all. 
I've followed all the instructions for opening up ports on my router, 
and I've reseeded several times now.

I'm running Win XP Pro SP1 with all the latest updates, the latest build 
(5084) of Freenet,  and my router is a D-Link DI-604. Within the router 
I've opened  the following ports; 64028 (the listen port listed in the 
freenet INI file), 8481,  . I opened the last two just to be on the 
safe side, since it wasn't working anyway. I'm connected to the net, and 
I'm able to get other P2P software to work; Limewire, Kazaa, Shareazaa, 
so I'm not sure why your software won't get through.

Anyway, hope that you can help

What is the problem you are experiencing? An error message (if
so, which)? Are you uncapable of downloading anything from Freenet?
What? Details, please.
	If it is the latter, I would run Frost
(jtcfrost.sourceforge.net) to see if you receive messages. If that is
the case, your node is alive and it will just need time to get
integrated into the network.
 

You know what, I think it was the time issue. I've been trying to get 
onto Freedon engine, and getting the error message Couldn't connect to 
the network. Are you sure you have configured Freenet correctly? Also 
make sure that you are connected to the internet. Couldn't get Key  
one about the network possibly being busy and to reseed my nodes. But I 
was just able to get onto Freedom Engine, so it's likely that the 
problems solved. It's odd that it couldn't load the thumbnails on the 
main internet screen, or even get to the readme file though.

Oh well, I'll give it time and see what happens.

[freenet-support] re: Memory leak in XP

2004-05-31 Thread Michael K.



I've been using Freenet for a couple of days now, 
and I began noticing that after using the program for about an hour, the size of 
the file in memory began to grow ridiculously large. Had I run the program for a 
whole day, the memory leak would have encompassed all available memory on the 
system.

Is this unique to XP SP2 or does this affect all XP 
versions?

 How would you distinguish messages you don't want very much (like

By not using Frost? If that is really an issue, one could specify an

 It
 is likely to generate quite a lot of extra traffic to automatically
 retry all RNFs till you get something, even if the user has gone on to

Not until you get something, but for some more time. I guess most

2004-04-17 Thread Michael Schierl
Garb [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 You are right - that certainly seems to be exactly what I am looking for (if
 we exclude J.Lo's private phone number...). But where is that information
 actually located? It is not in the HTML-source of the page. Could it be in a
 special file with a name that FIW can somehow deduce from the URI of the
 main page?

In Freenet there is no such thing as a file (surely, in your
datastore there are files, but there needn't be. E.g. Freenet 0.4 used
one large file as datastore). Every key in Freenet can have 2
different portions of data. Metadata and Raw Data. While tools like
FProxy and FUQID usually show raw data to you (since metadata is for
internal purpose) that does not mean there is no metadata saved.

Another example: In modern OSes (including Windows NT, 2k, XP) you can
add file permissions to a file. They are not saved inside that file
(you'll notice that when you look inside before and after you edit it)
and they are not saved in some special file either - they are simply
saved in the file system (where file names are saved as well). Or, on
XP, you can even assign real metadata to a file, like an author
name, which will not end up inside that file. (If you copy that file
onto a CD-ROM or floppy disk and then copy it back, the author entry
will disappear).

And similar to these kinds of metadata in file systems, Freenet has
things like that as well - it is just used for different purposes.

If that helps you, just think of two files behind every freenet key
- one for metadata and one for data. (Actually this is wrong, since
both metadata and data of one key will always be saved on the same
Freenet node, while two different keys don't need to)

 I have been using FIW for inserting sites, but because I'm a hands-on kinda
 guy and a masochist, I would really like to try doing it a bit more
 manually. Unfortunately I don't seem to be quite smart enough to figure out
 how. My problem is the contruction of clickable links to files that are
 already in freenet. How do I do that?

just link to the key, preceded by a slash, e.g.

a href=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]Maybe the GPL/a
a href=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/file.datWhat know I/a
a href=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]A nice picture/a
a href=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/picture.pngA nice picture with a nice name/a

 Then I heard something about a MAP-file, which I am lead to assume could
 be the solution to all my problems - or at least the ones not related to
 girls or money. It appears to be some sort of cross-reference between the
 real-world file-names and the URIs, but I have thus far been unable to find
 out exactly what it looks like or how to make them. And I'm still not
 certain, how that would solve my problem with telling the browser about
 fred's location.

FIW will build a mapfile when you insert your site so that you can use
nice names for files inside it.

You could tweak this file by adding stuff into your .fiw/mapfile.ini
inside the project directory, but I think that is overkill for linking
to foreign sites. It might be useful if you want to give files an
address below your SSK (to prove others that you approve its
contents), but is not needed for linking to foreign files.

To view the raw mapfile of a freesite, open FIW's metadata browser
and enter the URI of that site up to the first // in it.

(You might see a DateRedirect first if that site is DBR, but just move
your cursor on that DateRedirect line and hit Return to view the
current mapfile behind it.)

The format for mapfile.ini is a bit more cooked than the mapfiles
inside freenet, e.g.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then you can directly link to picture.png from your site and viewers
won't be able to notice that that is a file you didn't insert
yourself. 

 Any of you brains out there have an idea or a pointer as to where I could
 look for info?

If you are more interested about what is happening behind the
scenes, try to get the Nubile or Freenet Explained
freesites. AFAIK they are archived somewhere outside Freenet as well,
but I don't remember the URL.

 I don't think it does. It's probably a socket timeout on FIW's end.

Hmm. That should give SocketTimeoutException (which is caught

However, after a few tests (replaced Fred by a simple prog that says
nothing but disconnects on a keypress) i can see that I get an
IOException like the one above when the connection is closed from the

St00pid me... The connect exception was caused by my test app which
closed the socket and since FIW reconnects at once, it gave an
error then... The SocketTimeoutException occurring first is (as
expected) not written to the error log file.

So, this bug is really somewhere inside freenet. Either the accept()
call was not handled quick enough (dunno how accept is called in nio)
or Fred really closes open sockets without having sent any data.

 I get many of these (using FIW 0.08):

Hehe. That 42/42/42 (do you know Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's guide to
the galaxy?) is just a code for bad things happend as any other
combination of at least twice 42.

In that case it means that an insert returned a DNF message which is
invalid according to the spec and thus treated as a RNF. (RFC1122
Robustness principle). Toad told me that he had fixed that but most
likely he hasn't...

 I also get quite some of these:

Hmm. Why does fred close his connections prematurely? It's not because
you are restarting fred?

 It also complains very often that it can't fetch an inserted chunk, while I
 can fetch it without a problem through fproxy. This leads to continous insert
 retries whitout FIW inserting the mapfile.

set the default priority in advanced settings so that the mapfile is
inserted first. This should speed your insert up somehow. Then you
can disable to ignore local datastore. This will make your insert
much faster, but much less reliable as well. I don't know what FUQID
is doing, but if it does similar things, I understand that insert is
faster.

[freenet-support] too much memory used

2004-01-31 Thread Michael
I keep hearing this too much memory, and let me tell you, folks.  I
run an old-timey AMD 400 and 192 megs of ram.  I leave my machine
running for days with freenet java daemons running constantly and this
is my memory usage:
 total   used   free sharedbuffers

Swap:   385520 198376 187144
Total used, including swap: 187+198=385+ megs... not too bad, I'd say. 
If I upgraded to 512megs I'd have room to spare.  What I have noticed is
that all yous who have mem problems are running some version of Winderz.

 No, it wouldn't.  Gecko is for rendering (and I'd guess that WebKit is

 will probably continue to use it (at least for browsing).
 
 It doesn't use http, of course, but adding a freenet://  URL style
 wouldn't change things too much, since you need the key first anyway --
 it's going to be a long address no matter what.  All that would do is
 allow for URLs to be to somewhere other than localhost, which can
 already be done (not sure if it has) by the server itself.  This is
 better, because it doesn't require modifying a browser, and so far
 there's only one server.
 
 And if you wanted to do such a thing, or the privacy features
 auto-set, you would do it as a browser extension -- notice when it's a
 freenet url, and don't do things like caching it.  For this, you'd
 probably just specify a particular host:port that is a freenet url.

[freenet-support] Boycott truthout.org

2004-01-21 Thread Michael
  We now boycott truthout.org. These so-called professional, objective
 journalists are quite convincing with their cutting-edge articles and
   editorials but one major and fundamental problem that ruins their
   credibility at the outset is the fact that the are willing to give
  credibility to broken governmental systems . Their 'truths' are thus
  canceled out. News isn't the New York Times which spews repetitious
rhetoric. News is NEW. New knowledge of REAL events, the scope of which
 go deeper than new takes on false suppositions and premises spouted by
  groups with selfish agendas.

Your ignorance of the issues of the fundamental decadence of the
foundations of so-called civilized society so a glaring incompetence in
your ability and desire to make the changes necessary to improve the
human lot.  You ignore the wider scope of the problems.  You focus on
moving pebbles when the mountain needs to be moved.  You ignore issues
that may not be popular within your clique.  Objective?  Only
superficially.  Your 'contributions' are only to the smoke and clouds of
so many other media outlets and the increasing volume of your voices
simply adds to the falsehood, the mass-media pollution and for this I
and many others do not thank you and your kind.  The tiny sparks of
light your publication occasionally emits are fireflies in the sun.
Your overt and deliberate failure to recognize the atrocities of war
weapons such as DU and cluster bombs and land mines is a minor example
of what gets lost in your quagmire of replicating delusions.  

You're good though.  Keep telling yourself that in the mirror.  Bush and
Cheney and Rumsfeld and Kerry do.

[freenet-support] New mailing list for FIW!

2003-12-22 Thread Michael Schierl
Hi guys,

You might have noticed that i do not have the time to follow all
discussions on the freenet mailing lists. However, I do not want to give
up FIW development (although the last update has been some time ago).

So I decided to create a discussion mailing list for FIW - additionally
to the CVS mailing list that already exists.

You can find information about this new list at

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fiwiz-devl

Additionally, I added a snapshots dir to the sf.net homepage
(http://fiwiz.sf.net/snapshots/ where I can provide latest CVS builds
for those who like to be on the bleeding edge.

So, for additional discussions (and support questions as well) please
use the new mailing list.

Some information about the current FIW roadmap:

Thelema has committed a new FCP layer a week ago for FIW which should
make it more robust against Freenet issues. Today i managed to spot
the last large bug in the FEC part, so I hope it is stable enough now.
If you want to test it, try current CVS (committed a few minutes ago, so
it might not be available on public cvs yet) or the current snapshot.

I also added kinda test case for the fcp layer - it connects to
freenet and tries to do some usual things like generating keys,
inserting and fetching keys (at htl 0) etc. FEC is not covered by it
yet. To try that, fetch the source from the src.zip inside the snapshot
or from cvs and do a ant fcptest; if you find a (recent) freenet build
where this test creates errors (not only warnings), please tell me.

Now most code uses deprecated methods in the old FCP layer (that used
static methods...) which call the new fcp layer. I'll try to clean this
up asap and then (if there is still time left) add some new shiny SWING
gui (additionally to the AWT GUI) to it. Whether the new gui comes or
not - i plan to release 0.08 (or 0.08-pre1) in mid-january. I'll
announce it on the FIW mailing list then.

if you have suggestions or feature requests, you know how you can reach
me,

mihi

BTW: thelema is trying to rewrite the FCP layer atm (AFAIK), so I won't

[freenet-support] Re: Last point of failure

2002-11-25 Thread Michael T. Babcock
 Signatures require a) somebody checks THE WHOLE SOURCE for trojans. This
 will take weeks and therefore will never happen. b) that we can keep the
 private key secure. This is unlikely.

Have you participated (without identifying yourself) in any large projects
that currently GPG-sign their sources / binaries?  All you have to do is
sign them when you package them.  What people want from the signature is
the knowledge that the package is as the author created it and not repackaged
by a third party.

As for source errors or hidden trojans, that can always happen, but a signed
release lets you announce a patch release, admitting the trojanning and users
know that the new release is also from the usual packaging author.

Keeping a private key secure is really easy in this context (use a CD/floppy).
More importantly you can always create private keys with 3 or 6 month expiries 
so that you have to create new keys before then and sign them with the old 
keys so that anyone who actually compromises the key doesn't gain much.  Being 
able to revoke GPG/PGP keys makes this almost unnecessary as well (are you 
actually familiar with the technology involved in how GPG/PGP work?  Go read 
the fine manual ... www.gnupg.org).

  with IE or Mozilla for that matter.  Please do some research ...
 Signed JAR files go through verisign. That is not good.

Signed JAR files don't go through verisign; that's one company that offers such
signatures.  You don't actually need to use their signatures; see www.openssl.org
or www.openca.org for something more complex.  There are open and free ways to
create and manage signing authorities for JARs as well (again, I happen to do this
stuff for a living).

  You can, of course, revoke signatures with GPG without a problem
  and then sign the distributions with it (at least as a detached
  signature).
 
  The installer could offer to check that signature by calling GPG
  but this is highly insecure (as anyone who replaced the binary would
  forge the call).  What you really want is for people to check the
  signature themselves (with GPG/PGP).

 Yes thats excellent from a corporate perspective since the more areas
 you leave for the l'users your customers to fuckup the less liability
 you have.
 
 However in an open for the most part volunteer project such liability
 and profit concerns do not arise so for that reason the developers can 
 afford to design systems to protect the l'user from their own 
 incompetence and are necessary if one cares to attempt to offer security
 and anonymity rather than create opportunities to destroy it.

Your complete lack of grammar and ability to express yourself coherently
is somewhat distressing but I'll reply nonetheless.

My comment had nothing to do with liability and in fact I do security
consulting for individuals and businesses; I am not a lawyer, and do not
care about liability issues in this type of arena.

The problem that arises with digitally signed binaries is that the
signature checking system _must not_ be distributed with the binaries to
be checked and the signatures or signator keys _must_ be available out of
band.

If the binaries are signed and come with a detached signature, any user can
double-click the signature file and receive a PGP/GPG message asking if
they wish to check the signature.  The installer can easily come with the
instructions to check the signatures, as well as a short commentary on why
this important for the security of their file store and the project as a
whole.  The binaries, however, must be assumed to be untrusted and untrustable
for the sake of such a discussion and as such, only the method I described
keeps the user from receiving a message such as 'signature checks out' when
in fact the image they received was either tainted or damaged.

Feel free to reply with a full discussion / reasoning behind your wanting to
do things any differently for this (preferably technical) and I'll listen.
There is no reason _not_ to distribute detached signatures for each of the
installer and/or JAR images.  Signed JAR files are also possible and checkable
with IE or Mozilla for that matter.  Please do some research ...

person like you to proceed to the place of the
security company in order to clear the fund and invest
on my behalf as I dont want my name to be used fornow.
Note that I will send to you the relevant documents
that will enable you take possesion of the the fund
for onward investment for our mutual benefit. All Ineed from you is as
follows:
1.  A letter of committment (duely signed)   that you
will keep the transaction strictly confidential.
2.  Your confirmation of  your ability to handle this.
3.  Your international passport or driving licence
number for identification to the security company.
4.   Your telephone and fax numbers for communication.
5.   Your full permanent address.
As soon as I get the above information from you, I
will disclose to you the name and the country of the
security company. I will forward your name  and
particulars to the security company to enable them
contact you accordingly. I will also send to you a
LETTER OF AUTHORITY  to enable you clear the fund on
my behalf. Note that this is a very safe transactionas
this money is my share of my father's estate.
I am waiting for your response to enable us proceed.
