CAVOK,

From one of the developers:

Excellent question. In the case of Java I2P and of I2P+, the attacker is actually gaming the sybil attack tool in order to trick routers into erroneously banning floodfills.

Basically the attacker has found a way to trick real routers into attempting to connect to fake routers. Normally, this is not harmful, fake routers are just offline routers. Offline forever.

But if you craft your fake router this one specific way then the router you are tricking thinks some real router, which is usually reachable, is offline. That’s how it affects I2P without the sybil tool. The sybil tool, in this case, amplifies the effect of the attack and the duration of the attack, because the real router which is ddos’ed gets banned by the sybil tool.

Edit: I am deliberately leaving out specific details here.

CAVOK,

It’s the same AfD that has the same talking points as the Russia linked National Front in France. What a weird coincidence, right?

CAVOK, (edited )

And the Sweden Democrats. (not Swedish as I wrote before)

CAVOK,

A question. If the migrants that comes to Ireland via the UK first came into the EU in France, could the Dublin agreement be used to send them back to France?

This isn’t a question of they should be sent back, only if they legally could.

CAVOK,

More nodes are always helpful I think, but mostly it’s about being up to date. This too shall pass.

CAVOK,

I’m in java, but it still looks bleak at the moment. Just have to weather the storm.

CAVOK,

Fair. I don’t have a strong opinion on the matter.
