First, it is misleading to call this a "vulernability." The term
"vulnerability" says that this is a security hole, which it isn't at
all, which is clear from the body of your post. Another thing is that
Freenet requests are not simple searches like those of Gnutella et al
- they are significantly more complex to calculate/simulate. However,
a Freenet simulator named Serapis already exists, which could be used
to test thist.
