According to the Pond docs:
> What a global, passive adversary (one who can observe all Internet traffic) can achieve:
> A GPA can learn who is using Pond and where their home servers are located.
It's probably a great piece of software, but how exactly does it fit into the theme of cover over concealment? At its current level of popularity, simply using Pond, without a proxy at least, paints a giant target on you in the eyes of such an adversary. GPG and Tor, for all their faults, do not have this property.
- mirimir 12y agoPond works through Tor, and Pond servers are hidden services. I consider that using Tor makes me a target, so I go through at least three VPN services.
- angry_octet 12y agoWould have been better that you hadn't mentioned using tor then hmm?
- mirimir 12y agoMaybe I'm lying ;)
- angry_octet 12y agoWe need to start writing apps that use an embedded tor, not for anonymity, but to increase the noise floor. NB Just remember that lying to the FBI is in itself a criminal offence :-( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc
