You see them as objects to be acquired, and not as individuals/friends. There are many "artists" (ergh) that are quite clearly misogynist.

Not if you use a throwaway, crappy password, that you do not care gets compromised.

Good point. I would guess 40%.

We could warn "this is the same as site X which is HTTP". If it's a throw away, that is fine. If it's not, that might matter.

So the way to fix this is to get involved and write some software instead of commenting in a forum as if software is a static problem. Why not open a bug report? Maybe we can prevent password reuse by the browser taking a hash of the passwo

This was patched if you were using the latest Tor Browser Bundle at the time this exploit was attempted [1] . Vulnerabilities will always be disclosed, developers will always have to patch them. Automatic updating and deterministic builds [

Here is Mozilla on the vulnerability: [1] https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/08/04/investigating-s... It would seem that Tor released Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) with 17.0.7 on the 26th of June: [2] ht

That assumes he accesses the files at the airport or from devices that are known to be his. Lucky for him the future is somewhat non-deterministic. Also, he could have all of the files segmented and say the passphrase in a conference call o

To add to that: it's probably just a passphrase, so getting it from him would require torture. Even then, if that horrible scenario results, if he's smart, has a mechanism for plausible deniability, so he can give a key that decry

I posted this quote here because I thought it didn't need explanation as a criticism of the blog post. But perhaps I need to point it out... "He". We should not, implicitly or explicitly, promote the idea that to be a coder y

I was mostly helping people with Tor-related stuff and didn't have time to get a sense of the other usability issues out there in thinks like whole disk-encryption and PGP. There is a very literal UI bug that is also a security problem

I've participated in 5 of these now. I've noticed new bugs, and have a new appreciation for the art of a UI design because of it. Feel free to ask any questions or drop into the irc at #cryptoparty on irc.oftc.net (you can connec

"Not true" makes an unwarranted assumption. Watch the video, he has one story from the NSA in a classified hearing and the opposite story from the FBI in an unclassified hearing. Nadler is pleased with the report the FBI gave (req

Correlation is not causation. Baer is friendly to the CIA, being a retired agent, and there is incentive for the CIA to muddy the waters. This could very well be the same motivations of a whistleblower. It also co-incided with the beginning

If you really want to make it difficult for people to find this place, an idea might be to raise the technical threshold required to view it: serve it on telnet like a BBS-era board, or run it as a Tor hidden service, or better yet: both! I
