Is this a possible threat?

This is intertesting and could have a big impact if it is correct....

It remains to be seen. Who can really tell till it starts being a problem.

chris, no this is not a real news.
md5 was broken yes, but with tigertree you will never get faked chunks,
and for ants we have flat hashing in md5 for the whole file, so faked chunks are not possible,
otherweise gwren has to introdouce tigertree as well for sha1, but i gues she has alrerady a kind of tigrtree system based n falt hashing so it is ok.
what we need is a working architecture for searches, this is all and that ants-dc is working very fast.
gwren does not answer to the question, that a supernodes needs leaves.
we need direct connected superneighbours instead. and supernodes need to be connected direct as well amoung each other. In ireland gwren gets a new view on this, if not, phex on i2p will have made the race. True, but bad, the milesone of a working ants client is not reached.
there are several boards wanting to communitcate with ants, but we do not get a working version.
We must drop ad hoc, we need searches in direct connected hubs for the flight to the ants hill. THEN the proxynetwork starts. It is not a question of coding, itis a question of development and strategy, and this is limited to gwrens openness for other ideas. Ants is imited to his fokussed views and he has to learn to break his own view, and change the paradigm to let supernodes ALWAYS connect direct. to leaves, to other supernodes. otherwise ants will not come out, because supernodes belong into a tree. not into a chain.

No impact at all. It only effects networks like Kazaa that don't have real hashing.

filesharing is fun.
cheers

Grrrrr! :shootViralg!

Love and peace y'all!

I agree with smiley_mels, We will not know untill they start using the method to attack p2p users. Right now it is only theory and in theory according to Einstine it is even posible to travel backwards in time, doing it is another story.

id would not worrie about this but check my thread now thats somthing to worrie about not gonna say which one it is because i dont want to detur people from this one
