The basic problem is when a Freenet node comes online, how does it know
where the other nodes are?
This mode must use 'out of band' - non-freenet - means of finding at least
one other Freenet node.
Presently, Freenet is using a temporary scheme of 'discovering' other
nodes - it calls up a page on a web server, whose address is hardwired into
the node. That page lists a small number of other nodes' IP addresses,
selected at random from the nodes presently online
The vulnerability of this scheme is certainly not news. But as I understand,
plans are in place to eliminate all dependence on this central server
discovery process.
