Is there something about the Equation dump that is not relevant to HN? Seems that most stories related to it are rapidly flagged off the front page, despite obvious interest.

NSA is not agitating for backdoors; FBI and other domestic law enforcement is.

Really wish someone could definitively answer you. I have yet to see any analysis that could define hard boundaries on where keylogging occurs.

The grugq tweets should always be read with the understanding/context that he sells bugs to the Feds. He is not an impartial observer on the topic of nation-state malware.

It seems that "open" and "transparent" GitHub has already ceded control of their business to Federal oversight, in deleting the repo: https://github.com/theshadowbrokers/EQGRP-AUCTION They are appar

Is anyone working on an actual implementation of this, beyond the golang reference implementation by one of the authors that can't be forked because it lacks a license?

DigitalOcean is just as susceptible to surveillance as Google or Microsoft.

Maybe cperciva can comment directly on this, but regarding #3, my reading of the statement on bspatch is that Colin is worried a compatibility breaking kludge now may prevent patching of the permanent fix when it is released, not just any o

Well, SwiftOnSecurity made a snarky macaroni video and the grugq buys the attribution without evidence, so the infosec groupthink must be correct.

You may have misunderstood me. I am saying that while attribution is a very tricky, difficult business fraught with guesswork and spectra of probabilities, in this one instance a ton of infosec people are throwing their typical caution abou

Many people in infosec (epitomized by the Swift On Security account) normally circumspect and cautious about attribution, are claiming with 100% certainty that Putin is behind the leaks. Politics have a tendency to really mess with a person

Traffic analysis is always a problem Not always. High-latency mix networks with fixed message size and randomized transmission are very robust against traffic analysis. The elephant in the room is, as usual, PEBKAC. The demand by users f

Looking at this disaster, I have to wonder why most people regard "preppers" as crazy.

The amount we over eat in the US is pretty unique in the world. Not so much, anymore. Saudi Arabia and Mexico surpassed us a few years ago. Most of Polynesia and good chunks of the Middle East have been more obese than the US as long as I

In 2011, however, it was pretty much impossible to get working DDoS mitigation for less than $100 a month I would have loved to know who provided this service so cheaply back then. IIRC in 2011, Prolexic and BlackLotus were your only opti

Somewhat reminiscent of agl's awesome-but-defunct pond, with turn-based rather than randomized sends.

As a nationalist, I can certify that the author gets their understanding of our motivations completely wrong. Indeed, every time Trump or Le Pen are dismissed as "crazies", our resolve only gets stronger. The abject refusal of the

To clarify, since modernity has stripped us of patience: "low latency" here means on the order of 1500ms, not tens of ms, as most people expect. As opposed to tens of seconds or minutes in mix message protocols.

Thanka dang. I'm curious if the HN software has flagging ring detection in the same way it has voting ring detection.

They have already sold 230 out of 1020 stars within an hour of opening up the sale. Unexpectedly high demand.

It's not religious discrimination. It's ethnic discrimination couched as religious because it's a little more socially palatable.

Functions looks interesting, but only supports node.js. GAE has the advantage that it support multiple language targets.

While I agree with your point, there is at least something to be said for blue sky codebases being able to use more secure languages/platforms and secure coding practices from the get-go, versus legacy codebases. Prevention of overfl
