Jerome Etienne, author of [Yavipin](http://yavipin.sourceforge.net), has done a
security analysis of tinc. You can read his findings in our [[mailing list
archive|mail]] or on his homepage. His points are valid, although the higher
protocols will protect you against most of the weaknesses. We will further
increase tinc's security in the upcoming release.
