[p2p-hackers] How is it possible to hide the traffic from a darknet?

[Michael Rogers]

Hi Jacob,

As far as I know the Freenet developers are planning to use a plugin 
architecture, so it will be possible to develop different transport 
plugins, some of which could use steganography. However if the 
eavesdropper can see that your node is communicating 24/7 with a 
suspected Freenet node, the fact that the traffic looks like IRC in 
Swahili might not make much difference...

I guess the best disguise would be another P2P protocol, so constant 
high-bandwidth traffic wouldn't look suspicious. GTK-Gnutella supports 
TLS-encrypted connections.

Cheers,
Michael
