Yes, this is what we should talk about. How do we create, maintain and support companies that guarantee our privacy? What do we do when those companies and its employees receive threats, blackmails and various attacks by the feds? When they

> Have we been given evidence by Snowden that they do this inside the US and/or to US citizens? Im amazed why do you US citizens always derail the debate towards this question "us citizens or not"? Are you guys more import

You are right, and it is demoralizing for any future leaker. Something can be done about the whole mess, its not all lost, but not unless a majority is on board, and it doesnt seem to be, majority seems to be fine with it and seem to be fin

You cant flee anywhere nice, Snowden is trying to you and you see 99.9% of the world countries are willing to stuff their own constitutions and human rights treaties up their asses and stick their head in the sand at request of USA.

There is no reason why it wouldnt play straight from a USB hard drive - but it only has 2 usb ports so keep that in mind, I used both of them - wireless keyboard/mouse and wifi. You do need to know some Linux commands, I doubt/h

Hundreds sysadmins? I think tens of thousands, if not more. Thats whats worrying and horrifying about all this for me at least. There is a whole organization, a structure, a culture of people whos job is illegal and immoral activities, the

If you have a SmartTV you already have a simple media playback from any of your devices, and from usb storage its dumb easy just stick it in the tv... if you want the output to your smartphone then setup a dlna/upnp server somewhere an

I agree there are more jerks in the crypto community than elsewhere, but in this instance it is justified, crypto is serious and if you are gonna claim to be secure and all that - peoples lives can hang on it - then make sure you get the ba

You install an app from the Play store that is very normal, it only requests Internet permissions. Then after a week or so, it wakes up and downloads its payload which with it can modify itself, transforming itself to seemingly be the Gmail

If you are in a coffeshop you too will likely have the passphrase to the WiFi, then you can still intercept traffic of your unsuspecting users, ARP poisoning and whatnot. So just because its WPA2 doesnt make it magically safe from tampering

Hm I dont know if we have pre-paid cards where I live, Nordics, but that is a good idea. You could save a few bucks by booting into a live-cd on your usual laptop and using a coffe shops wifi I guess.

A very convenient way for "security services" of the world and especially USA to get a very fine list of sympathisers of wikileaks world over has been opened. Not that it will stop me!

Ahem, not to sound like a pessimist. Android 4.x has vpn, so one way to sniff data is to setup openvpn and on your server tcpdump or wireshark everything. To sniff 3G/GSM I believe one would have to root their phone and sniff it there

by antocv 13y ago
Not a lot of people know how or have the time to setup sniffers for their appliances and then go through the logs. Maybe like 0.001% can do that. How would you sniff your device? WiFi and let your router do the thing? It wouldnt be difficul

All of those are not just real possibilities, but you should be surprised if that isnt the case. Israel has access to NSA data. USSR bugged the US embassy in Moscow for decades, using a laser. A few years back, EU found the Parliament build

Poor woman. Lets make a list of all the journalists that are a link between Wikileaks/Manning/Snowden and a journal, then we can look back 5, 10 years from now to see in what accident they each died.

EU is also spying on US, it just hasnt turned into a scandal yet. Its not out of malice or intent to hurt the other party, its just pure power, information is power. Who knows most at the negotiating table wins.

Perhaps this has happened to many other software firms, and the malware, is all undetected, perhaps they just screwed up their tracks this time.

This is really bad, but it depends who the attacker is, I wouldnt hold it against them if it was a government (or government sponsored entity).

Its too complicated. I believe any organization worth its salt that has NSA/CIA as enemy would have thought of something better and easier for a fail-safe device, an insurance on their lives if you will. Wikileaks has an insurance of t

Really, a million eyes on it? Okay, lets go with that, to compile OpenSSl you need a compiler and an entire toolchain, an operatingsystem, microcode and hardware. In any layer it is possible for an organization such as NSA to do its dirty d

In a world were most people would use encryption, NSA and other agencies would just backdoor consumer hardware or libraries such as OpenSSL and pretend to cry over their sudden loss of power. Technology is not the solution to this problem,
