It's a good point that the cost could (would always?) be high, because you could probably just park a van outside the target's wifi network, given the sad state of wireless crypto.
However, ZeroTier is designed to provide encryption on top of an existing network, so by targeting ZT, you gain access to everything within that network, even in other locations.
Is the ZeroTier root code open source? Can someone run their own root servers?
- api 5y agoThe root code is open source. That's how they found the issue. We always encourage our users not to (just) trust ZeroTier, not because we don't think it's safe but because you should never trust just one thing. Never, never, never. One layer of security is no security. There are people who will tell you their software could contain bugs. Then there are people who will lie, or who are delusional. Anything you care about should be gated by at least two security systems, preferably ones with different code bases from different vendors. Bonus points if they use different mechanisms or algorithms.
