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. http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FreenetZeroPointSevenSecurity -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
