[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1474 is finally released!

2016-06-08 Thread Matthew Toseland
If your node does not update automatically, you may need to update it manually 
as described in my previous message. The simplest way to deal with the problem 
is to shut down Frost, FMS and Web of Trust and reboot and the auto-update 
should work given an hour or two.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting this build out in difficult 
circumstances!

=

Freenet 0.7.5 build 1474 is now available. This is an emergency bugfix release, 
hence I am releasing it rather than Steve while he is incapacitated. It fixes 
some important bugs, one of which is involved in the current attacks on Frost 
and Sone.

Summary of changes:

* Fix the Frostbite bug: if the node downloads a malicious key, this would 
cause the whole client layer to break. This is currently being actively used to 
attack Frost and Sone.
* Automatically upgrade nodes to use the minimum bandwidth limit if necessary. 
Some nodes were unable to start up because their bandwidth limit was too low. 
Apologies to anyone affected by this. Also, improve the logic that sets the 
per-second bandwidth limits from a monthly setting. Obviously, you should be 
very careful if using Freenet on a connection with a monthly transfer limit.
* Minor security improvements to the web interface.

If your node is unable to update because of the Frostbite bug, please turn off 
the affected applications (unload the Web of Trust and Sone plugins and shut 
down Frost), and then restart the node. It should pick up the update within a 
few hours. If it still doesn't work, the update.cmd or update.sh scripts may 
fix the problem, but they will access our website in a traceable manner.

Thank you for using Freenet!

[freenet-support] Build 1474 status and the Frostbite attack

2016-06-07 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet build 1474 has been partially released. It includes a critical bugfix
for the "Frostbite" bug: if you visit a malicious key, downloads can stop
working. This is being actively exploited on Frost and Sone/WoT. Unloading
WoT / turning off Frost and restarting the node should make it work again.
Unfortunately the official release manager Steve is indisposed, and nextgens
and I are still working on completing the release; it should be inserted
into the auto-update system tomorrow, and thus "officially" released.

The build has been released as far as the website, so new installs will be
1474. Sorry about this, we will try to make our recovery procedures more 
robust in future... Please relay this message to FMS etc if possible, thanks!

You can manually update to the new build as follows:

Option 1: Use update.sh or update.cmd

This is not anonymous, in that it downloads the jar file over HTTPS from our
server, so anyone listening could tell that you run Freenet. Also there
have been some reported bugs (one problem with update.sh was fixed just by
running it again, otherwise contact #freenet on irc.freenode.net - note that
this is also not anonymous).

Option 2: Download the jar from Freenet on a working node and replace them.

First, download the following key:
CHK@jCVrtDlDgly4kqNRPAH4o7j16I5Fcy39ka6Qz2~NOko,kbxLQ-wHV4S8YgPUme3y9HKYopc1FWeEMUaZ~zDeSqM,AAMC--8/freenet-build01474.jar

Signature is here (if you have gnupg and my pubkey):
CHK@~gTf8kWGI0X34XOI~pI-hagrddxzUJdbPIk20nYoLjs,a7SNdm2Sq7u3sOwjX5GyVkitpR8J92~VGdO~tSynLto,AAMC--8/freenet-build01474.jar.sig

Now shut down the node.

Open wrapper.conf in a text editor. 
There should be a line that says something like:
wrapper.java.classpath.1=freenet.jar.new

If it says freenet.jar.new then change it to freenet.jar. 
If it says freenet.jar then don't do anything.

Now replace freenet.jar with the jar you just downloaded from Freenet.

Also, you really shouldn't rely on MD5 for anything important. It's
known to be broken, and there are fairly advanced attacks now IIRC.
SHA256 is reasonable, and is widely used in Freenet, although there are
some known issues. Whether we should trust Keccak is a debatable point!

Ugh. I did see this in debugging but I fixed it. Did you try restarting?
And empty password?

Does node.db4o still exist? Is there a client.dat.crypt?

IMHO the big issue here isn't horsepower, it's not having the thread

doesn't use that much CPU except when it's doing download decoding etc,
or when there's no good JVM???

Try enabling Java Web Start first. I believe this is on some sort of
control panel / settings menu somewhere.

There is, yes. The setup wizard will use this when recommending the
default store size when you install.

Technically: 4 bytes per slot in RAM, three slots for ~ each 35KB
(32KB+~300 bytes + 1K + 1K + 1K).

Please post your wrapper.log (from the folder "wrapper" in the folder Freenet 
was installed into).

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1456

2013-09-16 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1456 is now available. This build is riskier than most but 
I have tested it fairly extensively. Please let me know if you have any 
difficulties updating. Also see the first item below.
Changes include:
- Automatically update the wrapper binaries on linux/mac systems (other than 
Gentoo). This should fix a major bug on Linux where after updating the node can 
get stuck in a loop until it is manually restarted (or the computer is 
rebooted). This is a lot more work than it sounds because we need to replace a 
whole bunch of files at once, then restart the wrapper (not just the node).
- An important bugfix to the transport layer, should improve bandwidth usage on 
fast connections, this is especially obvious when transferring files between 
nodes (e.g. from the node-to-node text messaging system, click on a Friend and 
send a file).
- Download the latest version of update.sh, and make it executable. The updater 
was downloading an old, broken version of update.sh, and was not making it 
executable. This is the last-resort manual update script for linux/mac.
- Various bugfixes for the updater.
- Make node references more robust, any line which contains e.g. spaces will be 
base64 encoded, so passing noderefs via e.g. IRC/instant messaging should be 
significantly more reliable.
- Turn off NLM when upgrading from 1455 or earlier. It's broken at the moment.
- Config fixes. This *might* change your settings for SSL, load management and 
file locations (as previous fixes in these areas were being ignored).

This build does not implement updating the wrapper binaries on Windows. That 
will be implemented in a future build, thanks to romnGit's update helper tool 
for Windows. Most of the code needed is already present in this build though.

Thank you for using Freenet!

How exactly did you install it? From the exe on the website, or using the Java 
installer?

More details on the download page on the website.

Does C:\Program Files\Freenet (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Freenet) exist?

The uninstaller works fine, from Control Panel as with any other app on 
Windows. You should shut down Freenet from the system tray icon first however.

It will remove all files and registry keys AFAIK, but I haven't checked this. 
Certainly it removed all files. It can't eradicate every last trace from your 
system e.g. deleted files that might be recovered, your browser cache etc; this 
is out of scope, there are third party tools that might be able to.

Good luck with Freenet! Thanks!

Any chance of trying a different AV? E.g. a demo version? Just to confirm that 
this is in fact an AV-related problem, you can go back to BitDefender 
afterwards?

Sorry, but we have a limited amount of Windows expertise. :|

This is very odd.

Can you please post the wrapper.log?

Just because you've previously used the same AV doesn't necessarily mean it's 
not an AV problem - the files may be different if you've reinstalled, any 
config you set to let it run may be different etc.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1455

2013-08-31 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1455 is now available. Please let me know if you have any 
problems upgrading, or run into any other bugs or regressions. The major 
changes are:
- The web interface now sends Content-Security-Policy headers to web browsers. 
This was designed to prevent cross-site-scripting attacks and provides an extra 
layer of protection against browser exploits and web-bugs. Note that you may 
have to enable Javascript support on "Configuration" -> "Web interface" if you 
use plugins which use Javascript (e.g. FlogHelper, Sone). Note to plugin 
authors: Please do not use sendReplyHeader(..., Date). There are several new 
sendReplyHeader* methods, sendReplyHeader() without a Date should be fine for 
most generated content.
- New encryption for on-disk temporary buckets (temporary files used by 
non-persistent downloads), when physical security level is not LOW.
- Plugin data is now stored in separate files on disk rather than in 
node.db4o[.crypt]. So it won't be lost when the database is corrupted. Note 
that this only affects a few plugins, notably FlogHelper (and Library if you 
have customised your indexes list).
- New version of the Library plugin, with a new search index. (Sadly by the 
same person as the last one)
- Minor French translation update (thanks romnGit, who is also working on a new 
Windows installer).

Thanks for using Freenet!

Thanks! I need wrapper.log though. This is on a newly installed 1454 node? Did 
you use JWS or the installer jar?

It was a typo in a script. I've uploaded a fixed installer. I'd still 
appreciate testing though. Does it work, does it complain about not running in 
the wrapper / does the wrapper.log show an error about this at the beginning?

There was a bug in the OS/X installer. I have now fixed it. Please uninstall 
your existing copy of Freenet, then download the following file:
https://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/new_installer_offline_1454.jar

You should be able to click on the file to install it. Let me know if that 
doesn't work.

There are lots of problems with a blacklist:

Unless they were a government agency it would be legally very difficult to 
maintain a blacklist, since they'd need to download the full metadata in order 
to block all the blocks, and probably they'd need to download the full data to 
check whether it is what it is claimed to be (which makes them vulnerable to 
prosecution for posession, not to mention various other obvious issues). Of 
course you could block stuff by downloading the metadata without checking it, 
but this would be easily exploited for censorship of anything you don't like. 
And according to EFF's advice, you'd probably have to block ALL illegal 
content, not just child porn. And anyone using the blacklist would have to 
trust the person who publishes it - especially as the blacklist would have to 
not include the full CHKs but only enough information to match them, without 
being able to decrypt them.

A whitelist is possible maybe. But it'd have to be a separate network, and it'd 
be enormously, and dangerously, centralised.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1453 (and installer changes)

2013-08-24 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1453 is now available. Please let us know if you have any 
problems updating. This includes Web of Trust version 13, which has some major 
improvements including much better support for recovering old identities from 
backups, and some minor bugfixes and robustness improvements for the updater, 
but the main change is to the installers:

We now use an up to date version of the wrapper in both the Windows installer 
and the Linux/Mac installer. For new installs, this should fix some of the 
antivirus problems on Windows (notably issues with Freenet taking ages to 
restart and sometimes not succeeding at all on Kaspersky). 

It should also improve the stability problems on Linux when updating, where 
Freenet would download a new build and then constantly restart without ever 
successfully updating. If you see that bug on an old node, the correct fix is 
to shut down the node manually and start it up again (./run.sh stop; ./run.sh 
start). If you see it on a new node (installed at 1453 or later), please let us 
know that the bug isn't fixed! 

Finally, the Unix/Mac installer now supports a few more platforms, notably 
FreeBSD on x86 (32 and 64), Linux on Itanium, and Linux on ARM (both versions). 
This is not full support as we don't have the (optional but important) native 
libraries for these platforms yet, but it should install, run, and auto-update 
without too much trouble, rather than having to run without the wrapper. Let me 
know if you want any other platforms, see the download page for JSW for what we 
can easily support.

None of this applies to existing installs. romnGit is working on a tool to 
upgrade the wrapper on existing Windows installs, and upgrading it on Mac or 
Linux should be fairly straightforward, but is not implemented yet.

Thank you for using Freenet!

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1452

2013-08-19 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1452 is now available. Please let me know if you have any 
problems upgrading. Major changes:
- Auto-updater: Create wrapper.jar file (in wrapper\ on Windows, otherwise in 
.). On the next update this will be patched into the classpath at the 
beginning. This will allow us to update the wrapper, at least in new installs.
- Auto-updater: Update wrapper.conf to create an anchor file on older Windows 
nodes. This will be helpful in improving update.cmd and in updating the wrapper.
- Auto-updater: Various bugfixes and minor improvements to auto-update and 
Update Over Mandatory (the last resort update mechanism).
- Temporarily reinstate support for builds prior to 1422. This will be removed 
again soon, UOM backward compatibility should only be broken when we change the 
auto-update key.
- Fix a NullPointerException breaking some plugins when rendering menus.
- Add some more code documentation (javadocs), especially at package level.

Thanks for using Freenet!

2013-08-13 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1451 is now available. Please let me know if there are any 
problems updating (the auto-updater should automatically update the 
Bouncycastle jar as well as the freenet jar). This build is mandatory on the 
28th of August (due to the change to parsing of noderefs added via the web 
interface). Changes include:
- Update Bouncycastle to version 1.49.
- Allow base64 encoding in noderefs. This will be used in future for more 
robust noderefs. (Sorry I thought I'd deployed this in a previous build)
- Better MIME type handling.
- Minor web interface fixes.
- New versions of Library of FlogHelper, remove Freetalk for now.
- Connections pages now show the FOAF locations separately after the main table.
- French translation update.
- Various minor internal improvements / code cleanups.

Plugin authors should note that there were some changes in the web interface in 
recent builds that might break your plugins, in particular POST requests need 
the formPassword (CSRF token); you can disable this (to provide a confirmation 
box) by implementing Toadlet.allowPOSTWithoutPassword().

Unfortunately this is a common false positive caused by our installer being 
written in AutoHotKey, a scripting language mainly used for games, but which 
tends to get flagged up by antivirus software. We will fix this, but it will 
take some time. In the meantime you should be able to tell Norton to ignore the 
false alarm.

This is a page on Norton's website showing that this pattern is low risk and 
giving some ideas for how to secure your system:

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1450

2013-07-25 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1450 is now available. Please upgrade. This build will be 
mandatory on August 2nd.

Major changes:
- Fix a web interface problem affecting updates (see below), but also some 
other functionality (e.g. removing files downloaded to temporary space).
- Remove some dubious back-compatibility code introduced in 1449, which was 
only there to ensure that you could downgrade to 1448 or earlier and then 
upgrade to 1449+ without problems. This means that downgrading before 1448 is 
not a good idea especially if you have darknet peers.
- Remove support for an old connection setup protocol introduced in 2011 
(connection setup negotiation type 7). Neg type 8 was added by nextgens in 
October 2012, so virtually all active nodes should have it by now. Note that if 
nodes are so old that they don't have negType 8, even update over mandatory 
won't work as of this build: We only keep back compatibility for 6 months. This 
simplifies our code and improves performance and security because we will now 
only use ECDH, not classic Diffie-Hellman.
- Russian translation update.
- New nodes will have their persistent tempfile folder as "persistent-temp" not 
"persistent-temp-[port number]". This is not changed on old nodes yet, as it 
would involves changing filenames in the client layer database.

There was a small problem in the auto-update code in 1448 and 1449: If 
"Automatically install new versions" was turned off, the confirmation button 
shown when a new version has been downloaded would fail to do anything, so 
updating wouldn't work. If this affects you please just turn that config option 
(on http://127.0.0.1:/config/node.updater) to "true" until the update has 
been deployed (you might need to restart the node once). Sorry about that.

Thanks for using Freenet! Credits:

Freenet's threat model is completely different to that of the average 
anti-virus software.

A simple HTML file can defeat your anonymity simply by inlining an image from a 
server on the web.

This is what the filter is primarily for.

Lots of other formats, for example PDF, have similar issues, which is why 
Freenet warns when you download them. If you choose to ignore that warning it's 
not our fault.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1449

2013-07-20 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1449 is now available, and will be mandatory in a week. 
Please let me know if you have any trouble upgrading. Note that it also makes 
1448 mandatory a few days early, so if you haven't upgraded since 1447 you may 
need to do so to stay on the network.

The major change in this build is a new connection setup protocol. It should be 
fully backwards compatible with previous nodes, but please tell me if there are 
any problems.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1448

2013-07-16 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1448 is now available, please upgrade. This build will be 
mandatory in a week, please let me/us know if you have any trouble upgrading.

Changes include:
- Various minor fixes to the encryption code, which should be more robust and 
marginally more secure.
- Changes to the default bookmarks, notably including Nerdageddon, promoting 
FSNG, and removing TUFI and ISF.
- Fix auto-detection of memory limits over 2GB. This will result in the node 
using larger default cache sizes etc.
- Various internal changes and cleanups in fproxy (some of which may need new 
plugins; KeyUtils has been updated).
- Improve the Insert a File page slightly.

One of the crypto changes is to use the NSS library, if available, for 
connection setup. This should save some CPU usage by using native code to speed 
up ECC crypto. To use it you need the appropriate library ("apt-get install 
libnss3" on Linux, getting it working on Windows is nontrivial), and then add 
to your wrapper.conf:
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dfreenet.jce.use.NSS=true
(Change "4" as appropriate depending on the previous lines in wrapper.conf)

You should then see in your wrapper.log:
INFO   | jvm 1| 2013/07/15 21:49:35 | SunPKCS11-NSS: SunPKCS11-NSScrypto 
version 1.6

If this works, and doesn't have any problems connecting to other nodes, please 
let me know, as I'd like to make this the default soon.

Thanks!

Odd.

Try shutting down Freenet manually and then starting it back up (e.g ./run.sh 
stop; ./run.sh start). What version does it show now? Sometimes we get problems 
with the wrapper...

100% CPU suggests either:
1) You have some heavy plugins installed, e.g. WoT, Freetalk, Spider.
2) Your memory limit is too low in wrapper.conf (512 is good).

When exactly does this happen?

For example, if you restart your computer, and click on the rabbit icon / start 
Freenet from the start menu, can you get to http://127.0.0.1:/ ?

I have seen this when restarting Freenet, e.g. shutting it down ... Exactly

Does it give any details, e.g. a virus / pattern name? I'm afraid I can't read 
your screenshot, it's very blurry and in German.

Sometimes AVs trigger just because the installer is written in AutoHotKey. This 
is hard to deal with...

Some of the AV companies have whitelisting programmes, we should deal with that.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1446

2013-06-29 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1446 is now available. Please let me know if you have any 
trouble upgrading. This is a minor bugfix release, including:
- Fix the node name alert breaking the alerts page, and improve the English 
text.
- New Library and Spider versions which hopefully fix Spider. Looks like we may 
have an up to date Spider index again soon!

Thanks!

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1445

2013-06-26 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1445 is now available. Please upgrade, and please report 
any problems you find. Changes include:
- Add Enzo's Index and delete AFKindex.
- Make 1443 mandatory, because of the peers limit. Should have done this last 
time.
- Remove the too many peers warning, improve the waiting for entropy warning, 
show the correct filename for the node.db4o corruption alert.
- Implement a "remove finished uploads" button.
- Show the panic button even if there are no downloads/uploads.
- Update the Japanese translation.
- Fix (permanently) config descriptions referring to 20 or 40 peers instead of 
the correct limit (currently 100).
- Beginnings of support for more robust node references.
- Minor bugfixes.
- Add more CSS hooks for menu items.
- Improve the MergeSFS tool used when merging translation updates.
- Detect the MTUs of the network interfaces inside Freenet, don't rely on the 
JSTUN plugin to do it.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1443

2013-05-21 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1443 is now available. Please let me know if there are any 
problems (with updating or with the new build). Changes include:
- Increase the maximum opennet peer limit to 100. IMHO this is an acceptable 
tradeoff between a vulnerable, over-centralised network (there are at least 
5000 nodes online at any time), versus allowing nodes with fatter connections 
to contribute more.
- Add vwoodzell's FCP interface for the content filter.
- Minor logging fix.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1442

2013-05-14 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1442 is now available. Please let me know if you have any 
trouble upgrading; your Freenet node should update itself automatically. This 
build will be mandatory on the 21st of May. Major changes:
- Process connection setup messages on a separate thread to the one that 
handles packets from already connected peers. This should make connections more 
stable, especially on seednodes, ARM nodes and when there are CPU usage 
problems.
- Increase the maximum number of locations that a peer can tell us about to 
110. This does NOT actually increase the maximum number of opennet peers yet, 
that will be in 1443.
- Update update.sh and update.cmd via the auto-updater.
- Minor optimisations in auto-update.
- Write a backup of the old main jar to freenet.jar.bak when updating on Linux 
(on Windows, we alternate between freenet.jar and freenet.jar.new).
- Paranoid code to try to prevent the problems in 1439 from happening again.
- Increase the startup timeout for waiting for entropy to 1 hour, explain the 
situation a bit better.
- Support missing the ; at the end of CSS styles (e.g. in HTML).
- Fix changing the bindTo address for fproxy breaking the web interface 
completely when bad addresses are entered (same for FCP too) - bug #5674.
- Refactoring, mostly in client layer, also some logging stuff in crypto code.
- Trivial optimisations, cleanups, remove old probe messages, comments in the 
code etc.

[freenet-support] ***FlogHelper anonymity breach*** and Freenet 0.7.5 build 1441

2013-05-08 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1441 is now available. Please upgrade, the changes are 
minimal but include a critical security fix for FlogHelper. If you have used 
FlogHelper and have published flogs with the "safe backups" option enabled, 
your hostname is visible to anyone who downloads flog.db4o. Sorry about this, 
we should have been more careful (it's an information leak inside db4o...). A 
more detailed warning will show up if you use it. Note that this may not affect 
you even if you do have a FlogHelper flog with backups turned on, if it hasn't 
been updated recently and the backup file is large enough not to be in the main 
container (in which case it may have fallen out).

Changes:
- Update the SSL certificate for the last resort update scripts.
- Catch more db4o errors on startup.
- Library v27.
- FlogHelper v29.
- Fix an NPE in non-persistent USK inserts.

ANONYMITY BREACH: Your flog "${title}" has leaked your hostname "${hostname}" 
for your WoT identity ${author}, in the backup file "flog.db4o". That means all 
your flogs, Sone posts, Freetalk posts, Freemail and anything else using that 
identity can be connected to "${hostname}". You could keep using this identity 
but bear in mind that it may be compromised, or you could delete the identity. 
Files on Freenet cannot be deleted, but if you upload a new version the old one 
may eventually become inaccessible, although somebody may have downloaded it 
already. You can delete the identity or create a new one on the Community menu 
under "Own anonymous identities". In case of any questions please contact us 
securely on Freenet Messaging System (FMS) board Freenet.

You might not be able to install it. It assumes you have Java 6 and Java Web 
Start; this is true on Mac's but not necessarily on iPad's. Even if you can 
install it, it works best if you can run Freenet reasonably close to 24x7 (i.e. 
most of the time), and this will use 25GB/month+, so it's probably a bad idea 
on a mobile device mainly using 3G/4G for connectivity, as they usually don't 
like you using more than 2GB or so per month. Also Freenet needs at least 256MB 
of RAM, and at least 1GB of storage.

This is because of a severe (but trivial) bug in 1439 causing startup to fail 
if there are darknet peers. Please upgrade to 1440. You can do this by either:

1) Run update.sh (or update.cmd)
This should work for 99% of people.
2) If this doesn't work, update your update.sh or update.cmd from 
https://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/update/ then try again.
3) If this still doesn't work, download the jar manually from 
https://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/freenet-build01440.jar and save it 
over freenet.jar (it might be freenet.jar.new, you may need to check in 
wrapper.conf).
4) Otherwise something is seriously broken - ask for help or reinstall.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1439

2013-04-01 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1439 is now available, please upgrade, it will be mandatory 
next Monday. Yes I know it's April 1st, this is not an April Fool's build, see 
the first item below. Major changes:
- Improve the warnings shown when a page cannot be filtered. It needs to be 
absolutely clear that if you open it anyway, it won't be filtered.
- New probe type to test a theory concerning load management ("most non-uber 
nodes are around 50% load"). This is also shown on the stats page 
("outputBandwidthLiabilityUsage") in advanced mode.
- Various minor internal changes to load management, don't check NO LOAD STATS 
status unless NLM is enabled (it shouldn't be).
- IgnoreDateHints FCP option for inserts. (thanks Eleriseth)

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1438

2013-03-27 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1438 is available, and will be mandatory on Monday (April 
1st). Please let me know if your node doesn't automatically upgrade.

This build reverts the load management change in 1437. The stats that were 
supposed to measure it were buggy, and it doesn't seem to have dramatically 
reduced rejections; and it may have caused performance reductions. I plan to 
try this again soon, but there are several issues that need looking at first, 
other bugs in load management which may prevent the change in 1437 from working 
well, and may make nodes with low bandwidth limits unnecessarily slow.

The build also turns off fetching plugins over HTTPS by default (and when 
upgrading), even if the security level is LOW. This is dangerous, as has been 
pointed out on FMS by Joyce_Mack and Uotab.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1437

2013-03-22 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1437 is available, please let me know if you have any 
trouble updating. This build will be mandatory on the 28th of March. 

The main change is an improvement to load management proposed years ago by Ian: 
Currently, when a node is overloaded, we send a "slow down" signal only when we 
reject requests, i.e. when the damage has already been done and requests have 
been routed to the wrong nodes because the right nodes are out of capacity. In 
1437, we send the "slow down" signal (RejectedOverload with Local=false) when a 
peer is using 80% of our capacity for running requests, and I have increased 
the node's capacity accordingly. This should result in fewer rejections, and 
therefore more accurate routing, and hopefully better performance in general 
and in particular better data persistence. We have statistics to measure all of 
these things; the "fewer rejections" bit we can measure quickly, this is the 
main measurement of success for this change (operhiem1's graphs now show a 
graph of the proportion of nodes rejecting a given proportion of requests). Any 
change to general performance will take longer to show up.

There may be a brief period of reduced performance while the network adapts to 
the new code; at worst, it should be back to normal shortly after the build is 
mandatory.

There are also a few minor bug fixes. Thanks!

In principle it would be a good idea to have local authentication. However it's 
not a priority.

The bottom line is if you don't control the computer you are running Freenet 
on, nothing you can do will ensure your safety. Even if you rent it from a 
cloud provider, it is perfectly legal in the US for the authorities to install 
whatever wiretapping they want, even if you are not suspected of a crime.

Bear in mind that  and 9481 (both TCP) are *local* ports - they should only 
be visible from the local computer, i.e. localhost/127.0.0.1, not forwarded to 
the internet. However the listenPort (check freenet.ini) needs to be visible to 
the world, and is UDP.

I don't know. Freenet needs to bind several ports, both for its web interface 
on port  (how you access freenet), its FCP interface (how things like Frost 
access Freenet), on 9481, and a random port for talking to other nodes. It 
looks like it's something related to that, so there might be a setting to allow 
it.

Depends on how low level you want to go. There are hooks if you are writing a 
plugin. You can use KeyUtils to browse a site's contents as a directory 
listing, and I think you can access it via FCP for scripts.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1436

2013-03-02 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1436 is now available, please let us know if you have any 
problems updating. This build will be mandatory in 2 weeks' time. Changes:
- A new probe stats type, which returns data on what proportion of requests are 
being rejected. This should allow us to 1) decide whether there is still a 
problem with rejecting requests, and 2) test solutions to it. (Ian has 
suggested a way to greatly reduce this by tweaking when we tell the AIMDs to 
slow down). You can opt out, like all other probe requests, but it should not 
be a big anonymity issue, and will be removed eventually.
- Important fixes for inserting big freesites, fixes some bogus "Too many 
files" errors.
- Fix CSS on iframe's (and probably other elements) in CSS filter (when the 
sheet specifies an element, not on .
- Polish translation update.
- Fix not showing the datastore-is-resizing alert since the last build.
- Fix a minor bug (ClassCastException on startup, harmless apart from breaking 
the datastore-is-resizing/rebuilding alert) related to the new caching layer.

Right. Though USB sticks might be more convenient. If you want everyone to 
connect to everyone, then you each need a copy of each friend's noderef. That's 
this file:
http://127.0.0.1:/addfriend/myref.fref

It's probably most secure to exchange these files in person, but you could 
email them etc, if you are careful (e.g. if you already communicate by gpg etc).

Sounds fine. However you can have some opennet nodes, provided they are outside 
the hostile environment. So ideally it should look like this: (I've picked Iran 
at random here, if you are actually in Iran be damn careful, they might try to 
detect it at the protocol layer / block UDP / etc, and they certainly throttle 
connections)

Iranian darknet - friend-to-friend only
-> darknet links
Cautious friends of Iranian darknet - friend-to-friend only (so the bad guys 
don't know about these)
-> darknet links
More friends - both darknet and opennet (bad guys can find these, but it 
doesn't matter)
-> opennet

Then you have access to the wider Freenet, without revealing those inside the 
dodgy country. Which is good because it means your data should be more widely 
distributed / more reliable. Also, Freenet needs some special configuration if 
it's a really small network. On the other hand if you're inserting stuff from 
inside Iran, it might be risky in that they could trace it to the third layer 
friends. There are things you can do about that but it depends what you want 
Freenet for e.g. having a group outside that reinserts stuff.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1434

2013-02-23 Thread Matthew Toseland
Build 1434 is now available. Please let us know if auto-update doesn't work.

Changes include:
- Major optimisation to datastore disk I/O. We now cache writes for up to 5 
minutes, and then write them all at once, greatly reducing disk I/O. By default 
this is a 1MB cache per store (there are 9 iirc), but the default depends on 
the available memory.
- Major optimisation to datastore disk I/O on new nodes: The "slot filters", a 
structure that keeps track of which blocks have what in, is now filled 
correctly when creating a new node. This should substantially reduce disk 
seeking on new nodes.
- Minor optimisations to disk I/O related to node-throttle.dat, 
client-throttle.dat, and the bookmarks file.
- Fix bogus SSK collisions in some cases. Not sure what the impact of this will 
be but it could be a small help with messaging apps etc.
- Minor changes to memory-based autoconfig of limits. In particular nodes with 
192M or less will use 400 threads rather than 500.
- The max datastore size in the wizard is also slightly smaller for a given 
amount of memory (we keep the slot filters in memory so a huge store on a small 
memory limit can break). But show 200G, 300G, 500G size options in the dropdown 
if possible.
- Fix simple/advanced toggle not working immediately on the web interface.
- Various internal code cleanups.
- Fix FCP AddPeer command.
- Fix "ignore local vs remote bandwidth liability" advanced config option not 
persisting.
- Optimise IP to country code and handle a corrupt data file better
- Use slightly smaller packets to ensure we don't fragment on IPv6.
- Partial support for detecting IPv4 and IPv6 packet sizes separately. Not 
finished.
- Fix a NullPointerException on the console interface.
- Small Polish translation update.
- Plugin authors note: UserAlert.getUserIdentifier() is gone.

A node has a single "location", between 0 and 1, randomly assigned on creation. 
Requests are routed greedily, that is, to the node with the location closest to 
the key we're trying to find (converted to the same 0...1 space). 

On darknet, nodes swap locations to make the topology "routable", using an 
algorithm based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, exploiting the fact that 
friendship networks are usually small-world networks.

On opennet, nodes' locations are constant, but they gain and lose connections 
when they do requests: When a request completes, the node sending the data may 
send its noderef back to the requesting node. This passes through many nodes, 
and can be replaced along the way. If the requesting node decides it wants the 
connection, it may drop another connection to make space.

This is documented on the website, and in the papers section. You might also 
find the wiki helpful. I'm CC'ing the support list as the explanation is worth 
other people seeing.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1432 is now available

2013-02-01 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1432 is now available. Please let me know if you have any 
trouble upgrading, your Freenet node should update automatically. This build 
contains most of the remaining changes in the next branch, so it is more or 
less "caught up" now. A lot of changes, but most of them not very important. I 
have some more interesting stuff on branches...

Changes:
- Show IP and country of peers even in simple mode.
- Fix MIME type autodetection in site uploads.
- Minor transport layer fixes.
- Minor improvements to the port forward detection code.
- Various bugfixes related to using the default character set rather than 
specifying one. The worst one might have caused some compressed keys to break 
(in the unlikely case that the default charset isn't ASCII-based).
- Fix an opennet bug that might prevent a node from starting up if its peers 
file was corrupted.
- Minor changes to the code handling the auto-update revocation key, and the 
messages shown in this case. (The revocation key indicates that the auto-update 
system is blown; hopefully we'll never need to use this code! :) )
- Lots of code cleanups and minor optimisations. (mostly from findbugs)
- Various minor bugfixes that probably shouldn't happen but appeared in 
findbugs.
- Minor synchronization fixes (I don't think these can cause deadlocks)

Please let the developers know if there are any problems, in particular if you 
find a bug.

Yes, updating the wrapper is problematic, it's something that we haven't solved 
yet. Even including a newer version of the wrapper on newly installed nodes 
runs into problems because the wrapper jar is inside freenet-ext.jar.

We will fix this eventually, it will help with stability on Windows, but we 
haven't yet.

Freenet 0.7.5 build 1431 is now available. Your node should update 
automatically, if not please let me know. It will be mandatory on the 2nd of 
February. The main changes in this build are bugfixes for announcement, one of 
which bugs goes back to 2007 and may have been significant. It will be 
interesting to see whether this improves the currently rather poor opennet 
bootstrapping (announcement) performance...

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1430

2013-01-24 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1430 is now available. Please upgrade; most users' nodes 
should update automatically, let me know if this doesn't work.

This build includes lots of changes: (non-exhaustive list)
- Various improvements fixes to (non-persistent) freesite uploads. It will 
detect when there are too many files in a folder, but this should not happen in 
practice unless you try to upload a site with 2000+ files in a single folder. 
Redirects work. Some unofficial plugins may be affected by an API change 
(FlogHelper has been updated).
- Various minor crypto cleanups and optimisations.
- Lots of code cleanups and optimisations. (In theory CPU usage should be a bit 
lower)
- Don't show hidden files in the upload a file from disk browser.
- Handle container loops better (somebody on FMS had this bug?)
- Various improvements to handling of temporary files (both in memory and on 
disk).
- Various minor improvements to IP addresses and country detection code, and 
one-connection-per-IP logic.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1428 (sorry folks!)

2013-01-17 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1428 is available, please upgrade, it will be mandatory on 
January 31st. This is a bugfix to a bugfix: 1426 accidentally changed the store 
policy (that is, the algorithm that decides whether to put an insert in 
long-term storage), 1427 tried to fix it but broke it severely (meaning that 
inserts would not get stored in the store, only in the cache), and 1428 finally 
fixes this.

To answer the obvious questions: Firstly, this is my fault, as the Release 
Manager I should have picked it up in review when releasing. Secondly, 
Eleriseth wrote the code, but since Eleriseth wrote at least half of the code 
in recent builds, including some impressive cleanups and optimisations, and 
since (s)he found the bug and thus triggered 1428, we remain indebted to 
him/her, our most productive anonymous volunteer developer. :) Thirdly, this 
would not have been caught by any short-term testing, nor even by testing a 
pre-release build. However I may be able to add a test that would find such 
bugs. Fourthly, part of the reason for the problems (1425/1426) is that there 
is a huge amount of code on the development "next" branch, some of which is 
relatively risky, which I've been trying to release. Releasing it all at once 
is too risky: For example, we probably would have missed this bug until it had 
done real damage! However I intend to release most of the remaining changes on 
another build next week.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1426

2013-01-15 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1426 is now available. Your Freenet should upgrade 
automatically, but please let me know if you have any problems. This includes 
many changes from the "next" development branch, but there is much more to come 
in 1427. Sorry if your changes didn't make it, I tried to include only low-risk 
and already-well-tested changes. Changes include:
- New versions of FlogHelper, Spider and XMLSpider (FlogHelper includes new 
features; all are fixed to load correctly again)
- Substantial reduction in CPU usage for symmetric encryption (connections, 
SSKs and older CHKs)
- Various cleanups and minor optimisations, in crypto and the client layer and 
elsewhere, including a client layer memory leak.
- Russian translation update.
- Make Freetalk less visible, since it's not really working at the moment.
- Minor fixes for startup.
- Commit slightly less often (fewer disk seeks hopefully), due to writing 
statistics.
- Fix some bugs in the Ticker, could have caused wierd problems.
- Use less memory for IP-to-country detection and detect the country of some 
tunneled IPv6 addresses.
- Fix a bug which might have broken very old downloads.
- Make the firefox keyword.url hack work.

(1425 was skipped due to a bug)

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1424

2013-01-07 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1424 has now been released. Please upgrade. Lots of 
changes, including:
- Don't include hidden files in folder uploads (can be overridden by FCP).
- Backward compatibility with old Infocalypse repositories, and other minor 
MIME type related improvements.
- Fix deadlocks and other problems when prefetching is enabled in fproxy.
- Updated, working KeyUtils.
- Make Freetalk a bit less recommended since it's not very usable at the 
moment, link to FSNG on the chat page, and update editions.
- Russian and Japanese translation updates.
- Various minor internal changes, cleanups and sanity checks.
- Require a minimum of 5kB/sec bandwidth, and various fixes for the setup 
wizard (bandwidth and monthly limits).
- Partial support for MathML.
- Tidier generated HTML for fproxy pages (no visible change).

There are lots more changes on the "next" branch, many of which are more 
experimental and will need more testing. I will try to get some of that out 
within the next couple of weeks. Sorry if your contributions didn't make it 
today, they will be in another build soon!

PS Sorry it took so long. I did put out a test build a month ago; nobody gave 
any feedback. :|

Not likely any time soon. Technically it may be feasible but practically 
speaking Freenet uses 20GB/month+ of transfer, so even if we made it work it 
would either cost you a lot of money or make your mobile internet provider 
rather upset.

Long term there are some ideas for transferring data from one mobile device to 
another.

We tried to do this with a browser profile for a while. Unfortunately it caused 
severe problems, including permanently breaking people's Firefox'es.

We should allow configuring the browser we launch. But it *is* easy enough to 
implement it yourself - just install another browser, and use  that to access 
Freenet (go to http://127.0.0.1:/ ).

More sophisticated solutions have been suggested e.g. we could bundle a copy of 
Portable Firefox, or even implement our own UI including browser via e.g. 
XULRunner...

It seems to correlate with the phase of the moon. 

Seriously, node.db4o self-corrupting is a known problem and people have said 
it's connected to all sorts of things - and there is no reliable connection to 
anything. It certainly happened before java 7.

If you can reliably get it to corrupt itself quickly, it might be possible to 
debug it.

Just Freetalk errors. Turn off Freetalk since it's not working anyway. Does 
Freenet work reliably without Freetalk loaded?

WoT is quite heavy. I suggest you increase the amount of memory Freenet is

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1423

2012-11-15 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1423 is now available, please upgrade. This is a bugfix 
build. There is a lot more stuff waiting on the next branch, but that will need 
more testing. I will release 1424-pre1 later today, if you can possibly try it 
(update.cmd testing / update.sh testing) and *report whether it works*, that 
would be really helpful.

Changes in 1423:
- Fix a bug that might have caused connection setup to fail.
- Fix a bug that might have caused hashes to be reused too much, possibly 
causing all sorts of problems including corruption of inserted files. 
Fortunately this should have been fairly rare in practice.
- Fix a bug that could cause the setup wizard to break.
- New (fixed) version of KeyUtils plugin.
- Update default bookmarks.

Thanks to Eleriseth for finding the first two bugs!

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1421

2012-10-25 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1421 is now available, hopefully your node will update 
automatically, if not please do so manually. This build includes major changes 
to the auto-updating system. In particular, we now support it downloading 
multiple files before deploying a new version. We use this to distribute the 
Bouncycastle crypto library (bcprov-jdk15on-147.jar), which will be used by 
1422 or 1423 to implement a new connection setup algorithm based on Elliptic 
Curve Cryptography, which will be faster and more secure. The file will be 
automatically downloaded by any Freenet node with auto-update enabled.

This build is not mandatory, but nonetheless you should upgrade soon (possibly 
after using the verify-build script).

Also, it will automatically change the auto-updater key to a new USK. The 
revocation key is unchanged. This is on much the same principle as changing 
your GPG key every few years: it was old and should be replaced.

We will support upgrading old nodes automatically to 1421 and then beyond for 6 
months, via "Update Over Mandatory", the system that lets your freenet node 
download an update even when all its peers are listed as "TOO NEW". After that 
we will probably remove support for the old connection types and so old nodes 
will have to be upgraded manually.

Thanks!

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1420 is now available

2012-10-15 Thread Matthew Toseland
Please upgrade! This is a bugfix build... Changes include:
- Catch a common case of node.db4o problems causing Freenet to fail to start, 
so Freenet will start up and tell the user about the problem.
- Fix the bookmarks regressions (new bugs in 1418/1419), and some minor changes 
related to public gateway mode.
- Allow loading the native libraries from the classpath (needed for packages).
- Don't show the  for a country flag if we don't have it on the 
connections page.
- Minor cleanups and improvements to a few config entries.

1419 is out. Sorry about that. The Connections page was broken by a combination 
of 1) me finally getting around to uploading an up to date IpToCountry.dat on 
releasing a build, 2) the creation of the country of South Sudan since the last 
version was downloaded, and 3) poor handling of unexpected country codes. #3 is 
a bug, it is now fixed.

Freenet 0.7.5 build 1418 is now available, please upgrade, it will be mandatory 
on the 30th of October (3 weeks). There are many changes, including:
- German and Japanese translation updates.
- Lots of minor tidy ups etc.
- Many internal changes to make hashtable exhaustion CPU DoS attacks impossible.
- New versions of several plugins, and better compatibility mode detection 
(used by some parts of KeyUtils).
- Changes relating to downloading filtered files, including a better warning 
message including the MIME type, and check for the file extension not matching 
the filtered MIME type.
- Extend startup timeouts while trying to gather entropy.
- Request UIDs are now per-type i.e. separate for CHK requests vs SSK inserts. 
This should fractionally improve security against some attacks. (This is why it 
is eventually mandatory)
- Lots of work on various themes, with several new variants.

Please let me know if you find any bugs! Also, please verify it with the verify 
scripts if you can. Thanks.

Well each one lasts less than a seconf and they are happening much less than 
once per second. So no, that's not a lot.
=> It's not a garbage collection issue.

I guess you could get a few more stack dumps and send me them? Make sure that 
it's using loads of CPU at the time.

No, clearly not. It's supposed to switch to the slot filters and then live 
happily ever after. Hmmm ...

Apparently we use the same message when migrating to slot filters from bloom 
filters as we do when rebuilding because of an unclean shutdown. I have fixed 
this in the source, it will be included in the next build; we will use a 
different message if the .slotfilter file doesn't exist.

In your datastore/ folder you should have the following .slotfilter files, as 
well as other stuff:

CHK-cache.slotfilter
CHK-clientcache.slotfilter
CHK-store.slotfilter
PUBKEY-cache.slotfilter
PUBKEY-clientcache.slotfilter
PUBKEY-store.slotfilter
SSK-cache.slotfilter
SSK-clientcache.slotfilter
SSK-store.slotfilter

Do all these files exist? If so then it probably isn't migrating - it's 
probably rebuilding because of an unclean shutdown. In other words, Freenet has 
been killed by the wrapper because of taking too long to shut down, or you had 
a power cut, or pushed the power button or something.

wrapper.log may reveal whether Freenet is regularly having problems shutting 
down?

That does not make sense. That error is irrelevant. I assume it's the last 
thing it says in logs/freenet-latest.log? What does it say in wrapper.log?

I may not be able to test it ... I will try to look at it soon though ...

So this breaks IPv6 support? Potentially or usually?

Okay, add this line here:

wrapper.java.additional.4=-Xloggc:freenet.loggc

Then shut down and start up Freenet, and watch freenet.loggc. Are you seeing a 
lot of "Full GC" ?

It sleeps 100ms after processing a batch of 128 blocks, to try to avoid severe 
performance effects on the rest of the system. Resize on startup turns this 
off, so *should* be slightly faster. I have no idea why it was so slow for you 
but I imagine it has to do with hard disk seeks being slow - the number of 
bytes transferred could well be relatively low even though the hard disk is 
seeking constantly.

Re: [freenet-support] node.ipAddressOverride

Sorry for the unclear documentation. IP address override doesn't override the 
other detected IPs; this is intended. We only override it if you set bindTo as 
well. Of course you can't do that if you're e.g. on a static IP but behind a 
NAT. Usually bindTo is only used when there are multiple local internet 
connections and you only want Freenet to use one of them, in which case we 
should only advertise that address. Do you need a true ip address override that 
works even if you don't have a local inet interface?

Argh. Is this Windows, Mac or Linux? How many cores? How much CPU is Freenet

Datastore resizing is slow. Especially if it's already mostly full. :(

No. It could be a problem with local firewall however. Please post the last 10
