@light I remember Freenet from the 2000s, it was an interesting project. I tried it once but didn't keep using it.
This Freenet looks like a vibe-rewrite in Rust, even whitepaper is vibe-slopped: https://github.com/freenet/paper-1/commits/main/. Apparently, the project maintainer went completely bananas.

@silverpill @light tor has had audits and bug bounties and lots of scrutiny and freenet has not afaik
@sun @silverpill Which Freenet? Freenet or Hyphanet?
@light @silverpill old freenet has known vulnerabilities documented in academic research but no formal audit afaik. new freenet is too new
@sun @silverpill Old Freenet devs also are using SHA-1 in their PGP keys
@light @silverpill incidentally, most convictions connected to Tor seem to be vulnerabilities in other places rather than Tor Server itself although the browser has gotten hit multiple times most hacks seem to be, the USG breaks into the site and then iplocates it, honeypots it. or, if someone is using tor to make a threat, they correlate the threat with a tor connection established (run a relay and avoid that I guess)
