Earlier, Chael Hall presented a creative and ingenious way to get somebody's pseudonym on anon.penet.fi (well, at least the pseuodynm's of remailers, if any). But I think the attack won't work because Johan recently put a password requirement into his software: with no password, the message will bounce back. Thus, in the attack described, the message will wind up in your mailbox, alerting you that somebody is trying to figure out your id! Geez, this is somewhat exciting - reminds me of a _True Names_ world in which others are constantly trying to figure out your real identity while working to conceal theirs! /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
