S.E., I encourage you do dig a lot more into the I2P documentation.
Especially about how the multi-layered routing, constant key regen, and
the cyphers they are using in I2P. Also, if you dig into it's history
it was created (not wholy, but in a large part) to get information in
and out of places like China and Russia. Places that are repressed but
have the means to launch incredible cyber attacks -- yet they can't
crack I2P and hunt down their own citizens. If that's not impressive
anonimity I don't know what is. TOR is already been compromised, many
times, with multiple documented cases. Usenet.... well all it would
take is one pretty supena to the usenet provider and they cave. It's
happened multiple times in the past. Why do you think the old news
groups are gone? Is I2P perfect??? HELL NO. But from this security
engineer it is the better alternative I've found so far IF YOU ARE
CAREFUL and VPN. (YEP, I make my living doing it. Really! CCNA
Security, CCNP Security, CCENT, and other certs.) Also, my setup is
offsite sitting on a virtual host that can be deleted with one click.
So I kindly ask that people don't jump to panic and conclustions and as
Smooth Slits suggested, DO YOUR REASEARCH because knowledge is the only
thing that can keep you protected on the Internet. If people have
questions about I2P setup I'm quite sure that if they were politely
asked here in this group that good people would in turn be happy to
help or point someone in the right direction for articles to read
themselves. I, for one, would gladly answer any questions (I didn't say
babysit, but I certainly will be happy to steer someone towards good
info to educate themselves).
Peace out!
MM
