Interesting. Can you clarify? It’s a fork of TrueCrypt, which was reviewed by an academic cryptographer (Matthew D. Green) a decade ago.

I’m not an expert, but would’t a VPN (commercial or to a server with known exit IP) prevent such attacks? It will kick out the MITM. Also I wonder if the lock down mode could block it.

If you are forced to unlock the phone, then whatever is in the phone is accessible! If you have laptop, you can encrypt it with veracrypt that gives you plausible deniability. Unfortunately it’s not available in LUKS or bit locker. It’s sim

This would not work well, because you can’t do it in a secret manner. Overuse of the rubber hose cryptography will become known, and there will be public backlash.

I also have this question, on Linux. You can use a VM, but that’s a pain.

Borg 2 is usable in my experience. It’s a breaking change. So tgr developer seems to be mulling over whether to release what is available or add in more breaking changes at this point.

Borg2 will soon be released. It will indeed be a breaking change.

Yubikeys are well constructed. I don’t think they die frequently before several years.

What command line tool do you recommend for file encryption and signatures by the end user?

by aborsy 3y ago
How does it compare with Restic, which is very similar, and written in GO? One feature that I wished these tools would have provided is support for public key encryption. The secret key then need not be exposed.

Veeam does both file and full system backups. Kopia is meant to do only file backups. Veeam is an enterprise solution, and popular among sysadmins.

Consider the traffic, not from your computer to VPN to the internet, but from the internet to VPN to your computer. You will require that all traffic received by a particular port at an IP address at the VPN provider be forwarded to your co

Similar software is used in some products. For example, synology DSM has a package called download station. Who knows if it’s based on some obscure .deb (or scripts such as youtube-dl). It could give rise to a supply chain attack.

People play politics everywhere possible. 1:1 at least guarantees that you have a chance to present your work. Problems with meetings: people don’t express themselves because they might offend others or create enemies, people follow each ot

Thanks! It doesn’t look very promising! SSH is already PQ-secure.

I’m now waiting for the Wireguard, going PQ, beyond the preshared keys! Any idea if there is activity?

If I recall, Shannon returned a proposal to McCarthy for research during his stay on the cellular automata (perhaps inspired by von Neumann), not machines playing games. Shannon did foundational research in information theory, communication

The story goes as, John McCarthy was applying for an assistant professorship position at MIT. MIT told him, but we have here Norbert Wiener who was a renowned mathematician at the time and had published cybernetics some time ago, in which h

Or backup your text files with backup software such as restic: encrypted, with snapshots, sent to several backends. Cryptomator is ok too, but has no snapshots and cloud integration.

Everyone talks about the housing crisis in Canada. But the post also includes the curves for income growth. Unfortunately, unlike US, the wages simply don’t increase much in Canada. The purchase power is bad.

I wonder if the lockdown mode would have prevented this attack? Has an iPhone in the lockdown mode been hacked so far, using a zero day vulnerability (not tricking the user to install a malicious program)?

Thanks! I assume for DNS it also needs to modify resolv.conf as root when needed.

Tailscaled runs as root. Is there a way to confine it, without losing functionality? As it connects many devices in my network, a vulnerability in Tailscale will have a significant impact (they had recently a nearly 10 CVE). That’s not the

In liu of ZFS replication (send and receive). I still use ZFS as a file system. Also, I have a 1.5TB directory. There is a lot of redundant backup data in it. I archived it with Restic to 400 GB. As a ZFS dataset, it would have taken ~4X th

It offers two external SATA ports for storage, and external PCIe x4 slot. It can be a cheap ZFS receive box for backups. It could actually run TrueNAS, with 3.5” HDDs (although we will have to check if it could power them up too, through a
