<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 wasn't satisfied with me reverting the code back to the original
backdoor (you remember: reliable resetting the shared secret on both sides, so
it appears to be computed, but is never used). &nbsp;Apparently they still
can't get in... but they asked me to upload as much possible identification to
the DHT for NAT traversal information, because metadata is more important than
data.</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>
