   Can we disable SPDY? That's like comparing FTP and sockets...

   If you're using public and private for security you've missed the point. The idea is to help other developers use your code correctly by only exposing the methods they should use, instead of everything.

   Have you considered using data from SDR's? There are a lot of ($20-30) DTV sticks that are capable of tuning 400-500mhz...

   The best way to learn to sole problems is to find a practical problem and solve it! Find something that would make you more efficient or something that you would personally use. It's going to be a lot of head banging at first but it k

   C is a great language but have you tried go? Feels very c like with a lot of very nice conveniences.

    This seems like a massive liability. I hope this is a joke.

    So this is perhaps a little naive but could any of these boxes be shell shock vulnerable? If they were that would make this whole thing trivial...

    In the US there's no option for this... Most banks will not allow you to deposit funds into another persons account.

    Regardless of source graph attacks are one of the oldest LEO techniques, even if they don't fit the modern definition...

    I know Visa and Amex do. Recent darkweb busts have displayed a level of arrogance that is somewhat disturbing.

    Sure but Sybil generally refers to obscuring identity as opposed to actually actively breaking into systems... This seems like a much more active attack if it involves forged packets.

    Tor works by obfuscating traffic, jumping through 3 or more nodes before exiting the tor network. If an attacker controls those three nodes it is possible for them to determine the source.

    Every system is susceptible to a graph attack at some level...

    I think there's a chance of using malformed packets to disrupt all other nodes.

    ehh a Sybil attack involves breaking identification systems (eg, cracking private keys). In this case it seems like they've broken the underlying protocol (tor) to get the ip address.

    by aosmith 12y ago

    I think you're right. This describes a graph attack that uses a secondary vector of malformed packets to limit other connections.

    What if we just started using keys with tor and setting a few (trusted) default nodes... Update to clarify: I'm talking about every user setting a few distinct trusted nodes.

    There's a very simple solution to this. Use strong encryption and obscure or otherwise hide the private keys. We're trying to develop a future conscious messaging client: http://emp.jar.st/ Is it NSA proof? Pro

    Well the difference is simple, most cell site simulators force unencrypted protocols... There are android apps that supply this sort of information.
