[ANet-devel] I'm *SO* impressed by FreeNet!

[Benoit N. <be...@ma...>]

Anonymous my a**... YES! I'm jealous! Their protocol suck but they have
so good PR (public relations) that thousands go their project site each day!

If they can't admit that their protocol is *NOT* anonymous at all, then
I'll leave them to their fantasy...

>Key anonymity and stronger sender anonymity can be achieved by adding
>mix-style ``pre-routing'' of messages. In this scheme, basic Freenet
>messages are encrypted by a succession of public keys which determine the
>route that the encrypted message will follow (overriding the normal
>routing mechanism). Nodes along this portion of the route are unable to
>determine either the originator of the message or its contents (including
>the request key), as per the mix-net anonymity properties. When the
>message reaches the endpoint of the pre-routing phase, it will be injected
>into the normal Freenet network and behave as though the endpoint were the
>originator of the message.

Hey, who wants to store *MY* porn of *YOUR* machine whithout asking for it?

....

I'll send them a point by point list of all the limitations and problems in
their protocol. As of now, my list is getting huge. And I have a really
easy way to litteraly "eat" and destroy the entire contents of the network
in mere days... So that if they don't listen to me at all ("shut up,
newbie!"), I'll be able to demonstrate to them, legally, how their protocol
suck...
