Reply to comment by blueraspberryesketimine in De-anon risk on I2P with consumer firewall products? by blueraspberryesketimine

you should be able to set the port like z3d said and it'll only use that, dangerous to share obviously because port scanning could be done to identify from suspected ips

i think in theory this is probably true to an extent, we're getting into the realm of traffic analysis. There's some info on this on http://i2p-projekt.i2p/en/docs/how/threat-model

I wonder how the intel management engine and AMD PSP could be used to track I2P users. They make up the majority of the nodes on this network. We really don't have a way to fight that unless we all jump to RISC-V right? Also, that article is interesting but incredibly outdated. It's from 2010. Id imagine the security posture of i2p has improved dramatically since then.

it probably could, to me that along with traffic analysis are things that fall more into state sponsored level attack. guess avoiding those chipsets is the way or disabling it, but only 3 people are going to do that. like i'd think that at least with intel it's basically a backdoor, probably would take a fair amount of effort for someone outside of them to exploit it. but i guess that doesn't stop intel from gathering intel, lol

there's a surprising amount of low-lying fruit that can be way easier to do for non state actors. Best to assume your ip address is known to be running i2p as public knowledge, and like just poking around the netdb will give info that can sometimes lead to deanon if not careful
