Frost is seriously broken. Not strictly true. If we are talking about US/Britain then text story can be classified as 'child pornography' (or 'kiddy porn' as it was called above). As such any software that is used to communicate can be forced to download child pornography without your knowledge. In fact the very e-mail client you are using can be abused in such a way. Imagine the scenario where somebody signs up to this e-mail list and posts pornographic story involving somebody who can be argued to be under the age of 18, your client will download this (it has no way to contact a lawyer before downloading each message). Frost currently uses an old system (that is going to change) which does allow an attacker to post small bits of any files as a message. Theoretically you will be downloading, although frost won't recognise such file as a valid message in the end. That was one of the ways that attacks were done on Frost. The intention currently seems to be to allow frost to communicate via Freetalk mechanisms. - Volodya - -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast "None of us are free until all of us are free."~ Mihail Bakunin -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNYhYQAAoJENW9VI+wmYasJicH/0l46+5e7F2Ai1aHkVqDIycp lC9pfGW1/JaGoGikkXQ+IeCLuQgmfwKl27JSlUOd2Wyxp8V9hSmd+ndEr136Jgbt nQ0/7UVYx0NK3sK8M6xj12fXsH4GZYqNggzo0CtNdrhq5SK8G/y/xBC2mY1WcueR +GtO55yQc4tYEaiX9oAPHrb2x9M3/lKZSDqXb3KqS15sxYHE5ALwgfLx70Enq9A2 Tflb1NJxifuDr9aAlGKZi9HqpeEV6CBA5gtX9YlY6Z1xc5XByrYvDNmqvsYYIo7m 2I0XgxcpVIFgcW6xYoCiOXcq5G579t2wzTk2ysLjBMuWrM/+VFOQXgNETJIf2Cc= =n/Dt -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 > How can install and use Frost? Please the answer may be the instructions step > by > step, as you are speaking with a child. You didn't say which Operating System you are using, so i will be generic. You need to go to http://jtcfrost.sf.net/ and download the frost archive. You then unpack this archive, and start it (either by running frost.sh or by running frost.bat depending on the operating system). After starting it will ask you to chose an identity. You need to create one, but you will be able to create more after it starts. Once started you go to Language -> Italian, and frost will be in Italian. - Volodya - -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast "None of us are free until all of us are free."~ Mihail Bakunin -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNYg4BAAoJENW9VI+wmYasqTsIAJ47ma54A+J0izXIPdRHEoTZ MVdIJHWU7mg1g8d+CVIE/C7+yd7cjULUS0RMbDheILo0GdxpaZgtIEfkQNopzVwy MwXrYUD7P07G35tf3NnMAUxB9xl8kZoYHYL4K3RLVamluy0cycNkxv8S1KGG6/oL SklF/vfGRwPwpZgxvG7nj0QayX9YQVFXE7b9ECHeJNq/xFPtdZf13e7CopaE1wxU J7qHVorPCr3HmnlNpOAowhbnbh4KjQiFkG8e45L36lb31T+7Q8ZQE4pm2JlT3R6k IvKmdGlDY4DOHD8Y1U6qoJil+mzveEwpQf2uSpnMYfm5bhd3JLfehPH5fwb35Hw= =LORU -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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

Problem with that is that one can be "persuaded" to give encryption keys.

The sqlite3 (fms.db3) file. It contains all your options/identities, as well as saved forum messages and trust lists. It probably would be handy if it could be stored already encrypted on disk, but as you suggest, it's not essential. I don't think you can change where it gets saved -- not even via (sym)linking.

Re: [freenet-support] safe?
Ok someone told me in private e-mail that it is nog encrypted. For that I have the followup questions: which file is the database? can I (securely) delete it every time and will it then still remember the options set? and is it possible to select where it stores this messages database? then it would be possible to just create an encrypted filesystem at every boot with a random password. problem solved. > If I understand correctly, also the local cache and all files and such > are encrypted, right?

[freenet-support] safe?
Hi, If I understand correctly, also the local cache and all files and such are encrypted, right? And you can only access them if you know the key you're looking for. How is that with fms? If I read a message in it and it is cached on local disk (is it?) is it encrypted?
