This is the first time I ever hear of Usenet… read a little… but honestly sounds freakishly scary… torrents are anyway filled with malware… and now we have to trust a centralized source for files?
Do clients that use Usenet verify public torrent file hashes? How is security handled such that I know the files aren’t infected compared to whatever the same torrent offers?
I don’t know why some moron downvoted you, but the answer is maybe. For reference, I have always bypassed SSH firewall blocking by sneaking SSH packets within https.
The only way this won’t be possible is if the government enforces installing a certificate to use the internet, so that they can do a man-in-the-middle-attack. I heard this is already being done in Afghanistan.
