Security
========

Freenet requires different security considerations than other projects.

Any vulnerability that can correlate your activity with easily observable behavior of your node is critical.

This specifically means:

- any way to crash Freenet when accessing some known content is serious.
- if you can get Freenet or the browser opening a site from Freenet to make a request to some clearnet server depending on the content being accessed, this is serious.

More so if the vulnerability affects the friend-to-friend mode.

Reporting Security Issues
-------------------------

Please report security issues to [email protected]
encrypting to all PGP/gnupg keys from our [Keyring](https://freenetproject.org/assets/keyring.gpg).

Please do not file public reports of security problems that could be
used to connect the pseudonyms of users with the nodes they run. If
you find those, please send them to the email address above so they
can be resolved and the fix released before the vulnerability gets
someone in danger.

Attacks we know about are detailed on the opennet attacks and the major attacks page:
