<h1>NSA Backdoor Fnord</h1>

<p>As you all know, it is not allowed to speak about NSA-demanded backdoors,
and especially it is strictly prohibited to give any details. &nbsp;However, it
is allowed to boldly lie about NSA-demanded backdoors if you didn't receive
such a request, because you are not under a gag order, and in general, lying
about the quality of your product is not only legal, but "best practice".
&nbsp;The purpose of this NSA backdoor fnord is to make you worry about the
quality of net2o, and therefore you start looking at the source code; the
topics mentioned here are all security things to consider.</p>

<p>Therefore, here is the official statement about NSA-demanded backdoors:
There is a NSA-requested backdoor in net2o. &nbsp;Update: The NSA was here
again, and said they like to have a way to remotely access any memory without
actually making a connection that would show up in a log file. &nbsp;Especially
access to the secret key is required, as net2o doesn't use passwords for login.
&nbsp;The backdoor implements this by providing the address and length of the
region to be sent as integers and uses the $-push command, which pushes the
content as string in the reply packet.</p>

<p>As net2o is open source, you can verify the truth value of the statement
above. &nbsp;And keep an eye on this page.</p>
