I'm sure you more knowledge of Pakistan than I do, but I find it hard to believe that encryption is so rarely used that the Pakistani government can afford to monitor and investigate anyone who sends an encrypted communication.
It's also a little grating to have you lecture me on my assumptions, whilst simultaneously making unfounded assumptions about me.
- abbasmehdi 15y agoSorry you feel lectured buddy, was not my intention. And you're right, I did make unfounded assumptions about you. Anyway, they did not overlook the oldest security technique in computer history (encryption/cryptography) without reason - and you gotta give those fuckers credit, those mountain goats gave the most powerful military in the world a run for its money for a decade.
- weavejester 15y agoI'm sure they had a reason, but I suspect a lot of it is that they lacked sufficient technical expertise, rather than it being a deliberate decision of an informed individuals. That they didn't encrypt all the information at their hideout indicates a lack of technical knowledge. That said, you're right that they're extremely good at hiding via more conventional means.
