Right in other words, the freenet could determine cancer nodes and deal with
them.
Antibody nodes could be formed hehe.
The thing is the arbitrainess of freenet.
How do you know which node to attack?
The best attack is to become a cancer node that arbitrarily tries to
determine its target randomly. Very difficult.
The cancer node would try to spread and as numbers increased it could
identify targets as the randomness drops as it grows. But a giant cancerous
growth could be identified before it became dangerous.
