@CCC Vielleicht sollten spätestens jetzt möglichst viele Leute ihre Kommunikationsstrukturen¹ dem öffentlichen Zugriff entziehen.

#Freenet / #Hyphanet kann dabei helfen, indem Nachrichten unter Freunden vertraulich werden und öffentliche Kommunikation über Pseudonyme läuft, die kaum auf reale Personen zurückgeführt werden können.

@geo @madeindex Freenet/Hyphanet's opennet mode is fundamentally broken (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphanet#Vulnerabilities) and the project plainly admits it too (https://www.hyphanet.org/pages/help.html#wont-attack-x-break-hyphanets-anonymity) (onion/garlic routing and cover traffic would help).

Correlation attacks are pretty much the death knell for opennet and darknet mode has unreasonable trust requirements.

As for #I2P, it does have some cover traffic in a way, with its mixing tunnels. It'd be nice if the batching & delay TODO work was done though.

@cferdinandi I can only dearly suggest getting on #Freenet #Hyphanet *now*.

If Trumpists already go after schoolchildren whose political opinion annoys them, you need a place to organize confidentially, and you need it as soon as possible — ideally last week.

I’ve been warning of this danger for years and now that time has come in the USA.

peer-to-peer networks that worked
core challenges, routing, and privacy

#slides: draketo.de/software/p2p-talk.p

This 90 minutes talk describes how peer-to-peer networks managed to interactively search 4 million computers with the bandwidth of 2004, which goals they failed to reach, and what information the networks expose as part of their operation.
