You can't "close in on" a node. In fact, that's what Freenet is all about stopping. No matter how close you think you are the node hosting the data, you still don't know if the node you're getting it from is the one, or it's one hop beyond. > Consider this attack I run a great node that keeps all > the information in the target hash-space, so it has a > super response time.

If you need another node to help out, I'll volunteer my services. Tell me what you want me to do. I don't think you'll be able to pull off an attack, but it'd be extremely interesting project, nonetheless, and may yield some useful information. -todd _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
