Summary0001488: command line tools leak activity to local users
DescriptionHi,

this is a forward from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508518 where a user reported the following:

---snip---
The command line tools gnunet-search, gnunet-download, and gnunet-insert
only accept search terms, filenames, etc. as command line parameters.
This means that other users on the same system could monitor gnunet
activity by running ps or top.

Since gnunet is supposed to be anonymous, it should be possible to pass
parameters in some way that can't be observed -- for example, the tools
could prompt for parameters and read them from stdin.
---snap---

Regards,
Daniel
