I see Matthew Toseland propagating darknet, connection to 'friends' only, in favour of opennet. Now since there is no way around the fact that 'friends' must know your IP and it being very easy for them to monitor all you do on Freenet, I think using darknet is by definition making yourself much more vulnerable than opennet, no matter how much more attacks may be possible to the strangers network. Also no matter the visibility of me having a Freenet node up. Because it takes just one infiltrant who just has to sit back and follow all connections to know exactly who to pick out. As an internet pedophile, I know that there is no worse security than breaking the rule: trust no one. I can't possibly seek out 'trusted friends' in real life, that's hopefully obvious. But it stretches to say, Chinese dissidents who may find it easier to have real life trustees. Also their darknet can be compromized by government and how many can one infiltrator then catch at once? _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
