[freenet-support] elettra, a supplementary way to encrypt files on your harddisk
I happened to find this, on another mailing list. Elettra might be supplementary to freenet users, a supplementary way to encrypt important data on your harddisk? This might saw some ideas to the Freenet "people". WHAT'S ELETTRA ? Elettra is a software providing plausible deniable cryptography. It supports a dynamic number of files and requires a password for each file. When you need to decrypt a file, the password is able to find in the encrypted archive the file related to it. the security measure is in the protection of the number of files encrypted in the archive, because the algorithm is thought to give a plausible ammission that the data unencrypted is simple random data, and only one file is encrypted in it. Here are some important links: http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=65&id=6#article http://www.winstonsmith.info/julia/elettra/ Just for your info. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

[freenet-support] Converting the whole internet into a freenet
I have been following the discussions on this freenet mailing list for months, and it seems to be more and more active, and new ideas pup up :-) I was then struck by the thought, to make the whole internet into a freenet, and to let all harddisks be encrypted. Really it's all about files, files and more files and again Then we get someting closing into "Freedom of the people of the world". This is just a philosophical thought for all you clever guys to consider. But that's how the development accelerates anyway - an idea is picked up, rejected, and then treated in a lot of brain's subconsiousness, and then a much better child idea might be born. Otherwise I am stupid, and that's my problem *laugh* ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

You are rigth, the very Freenet is very easy to install.

[freenet-support] Why is the development of the freenet project going so slow
I was just wondering? I have tried out freenet for years, but it still seems not to be ready for serious use by individual people, that is the huge group of ordinary people out there on the Internet, who are in serious need for a Freenet. It can be used mostly only by small groups of smart people, who are more or less programmers, really friends, closed groups or alike. I find freenet to be a very important project, for the freedom of speech of the world, but freenet seems to have stopped up in its development. It is still quite difficult to use and setup for normal people, I find, and not many people have "frinds" to exchange nodes with, in order to become anonymous. The internet is in the middle of a very fast development phase, but freenet just sits there more or less sleeping. I do not have any capabilities of programming myself, and is only a possibly enduser of Freenet. Maybe some forces do not want Freenet to develop - or maybe it is really only intended for small closed groups of people? Interested in hearing some comments *smile*

[freenet-support] Do you need to have any firewall ports open when running freenet
I am running freenet (ubuntu 8.04) on one box with no open ports, and also running freenet on another box with most of the ports mentioned in freenet opened - both boxes appears to run fine. I am using "Firestarter" as my "firewall" as I find it easy to use, only. Now my question, is it necessary to have any ports open in order for freenet to work best?

[freenet-support] How does a Freenet newbie get Freenet friends to become invisible
I have almost made a supplementary Freenet, Freemail, JSite -and FMS minihowto, but I need an important question answered. How does a Freenet newbie, who urgently needs Freenet for some purpose, add reference nodes of Friends, when he/she does not have any Freenet Friends, but is all on his own? This is a question about finding Freenet friends, and not about adding the very reference node (that I know already) Freenet becomes more and more rurgent, I find I need it explained in down to earth words? It is a very relevant question I hope. :-)

[freenet-support] How to announce a freesite anonymously
I have published two small test sites (index.html - activelink.png - an archive file with some images) - using jsite. It works fine, when I download them to myself. But how do you get freesites onto the freenet indexes anonymously in the spirit of Freenet. I had expected a electronic spider to put activelinks onto an index page but I read following on top of "Freenet Activelink Index", which surprises me very much: "This index is manually maintained and at the moment I will include pretty much any site that has an activelink, except for sites.." ? - which to me indicates that freesites are not anonymously announced, and not free of censorship? I am on FMS, but I would prefer a "spider" to announce freesites without any human person interferring? Is it possible to get freesites onto any of the indexes without any censorship?

Re: [freenet-support] running freenet on memory stick
See www.minihowto.org - here you can see how to install ubuntu 8.04 encrypted, and also how to make a backup using dd, so even your backup is encrypted. Then you can run freenet from there - it works well - and the speed is ok. Just a comment :-) +++ On Monday 25 August 2008 09.38.42 robert fallis wrote: > I,ve just bought a 8gig memory stick, Can I run freenet on it so that it > doesn't interfear with my computor, I'm running ubuntu 8.4 > > bob ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I find there is lacking a fair amount of documentation: freenet - works fine, and has a fair amount of documentation. jsite - works fine, and has a fair amount of documentation. fms - I have got it installed, but do not know how to use it (lack of documentation)? freemail - I cannot get it installed and cannot find how to use it (lack of documentation)? Here follows some further comments to your questions, and the clever ones will then have to add more comments. :-) 1. Nobody knows how big freenet is. There probably are hidden freenet web sites. 2/3. You cannot find friends. But I think, if you are a group of people who KNOWS EACH OTHER IN REAL LIFE, they could use freenet at their advantage (just my imagination): A group of foreign disidents of some country A group of political opposition people of some country A group of motor cycle gangsters somewhere A group who wants to smuggle cigarettes -and whiskey A group of people who wants to exchange secret pictures/documents/videos/etc A group of people working on some secret scientific/commercial project Only the phantasy sets the limit For not so secret matters you can perfectly well use the strangers (untrusted peers) freenet. 4. You should use fms instead of frost? 5. That's not my problem *humour* 6. You could announce your freenet sites via fms? 7. You do not need to use an e-mail address, you can use a username. 8.You could use an encrypted ubuntu linux, encrypted directories (encfs) -and files (gpg). Check out: www.minihowto.org If you use the automatic untrusted peers strangers net, you could be detected for connecting to freenet, but nobody will know what you are doing. If you are using the trusted friends net (exchanging reference nodes person to person), nobody will have a clue about you being connecting to freenet - so you are completely invisible. Above is what I have picked up, reading freenet documentation - hope it could help, to add something to the freenet discussion etc. I find your questions are very relevant, as I have had some of the same questions myself, and it is hard to find answers? Freenet seems to be very active in France and a few other countries (the rumour says).

But I think, if you are a group of people who KNOWS EACH OTHER IN REAL LIFE, they could use freenet at their advantage (just my imagination): A group of foreign disidents of some country A group of political opposition people of some country A group of motor cycle gangsters somewhere A group who wants to smuggle cigarettes -and whiskey A group of people who wants to exchange secret pictures/documents/videos/etc A group of people working on some secret scientific/commercial project Only the phantasy sets the limit For not so secret matters you can perfectly well use the strangers (untrusted peers) freenet. 4. You should use fms instead of frost? 5. That's not my problem *humour* 6. You could announce your freenet sites via fms? 7. You do not need to use an e-mail address, you can use a username. 8.You could use an encrypted ubuntu linux, encrypted directories (encfs) -and files (gpg). Check out: www.minihowto.org If you use the automatic untrusted peers strangers net, you could be detected for connecting to freenet, but nobody will know what you are doing. If you are using the trusted friends net (exchanging reference nodes person to person), nobody will have a clue about you being connecting to freenet - so you are completely invisible. Above is what I have picked up, reading freenet documentation - hope it could help, to add something to the freenet discussion etc. I find your questions are very relevant, as I have had some of the same questions myself, and it is hard to find answers? Freenet seems to be very active in France and a few other countries (the rumour says). ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
