Hi. I am a Whonix [0] developer.
We are looking for a decentralized and censorship-resistant storage
network to communicate notifications about critical situations [1] to
our users and host the project metadata and files themselves to resist a
Permanent Takedown Attack.[2]
GNUnet seems a perfect match for our purposes. I have some questions:
* Is the GNUnet version in Debian stable (currently: jessie) current
enough to connect with the GNUnet live network or is it usually obsolete
because of Debian's stable freeze policy? If its the latter could you
please consider running your own standalone repo?
* We have approx. 15K users - are you okay with us adding such a number
of users to your current network?
* Since we are Tor based (and we need our notifications to reach users
who live behind firewalls) we will be tunneling our GNUnet
communications over Tor. I haven't been able to connect GNUnet over Tor
in Whonix yet (user -> Tor -> GNUnet). Did anyone manage to run GNUnet
over Tor using the TCP based transports?
* What tools can be used to customize GNUnet node settings via scripting
in Bash/Python?
***
[0] Whonix is an anonymous Debian based OS (whonix.org) Some of you may
know us from the Tor lists ;)
[1] Apt CVE-2016-1252: During apt-get upgrading signature verification
can be
tricked resulting in arbitrary package installation, system compromise.
We would have liked a way to notify users to avoid running apt entirely
and instead the necessary manual steps to download/verify the patched
binaries.
