I wonder how he deteremined the top wp sites? Is that via alexa, some other ranking? It's not clear.

I believe that this was supposed to be how things operate (or at least used to operate during the cold war) between the UK and US. The US outsources domestic spying on the UK, the UK spies on the US in return.

Since starting Lahana[1] I've become much more aware of the information we leak and the information that can be intercepted. In terms of counteracting the average Internet user, provided that Amazon isn't in the prism list (and I&

If you get stuck, try this: http://tidepools.dreamcats.org/ You can take the html and put that up anywhere you have a domain and it should set up a redirect.

Encrypting something multiple times doesn't necessarily make something more secure. In some cases it can decrease the effectiveness of the protocols in use, but it really depends on what encryption is used and how it is used. > The dang

To be fair an Ottoman Sultan banned Ottoman script from being printed, effectively banning the printing press across the Ottoman empire and pretty ending the Ottoman golden age, starting it's descent. The irony of Tayyip Erdogan's Neo-Ottom

You're right in that I do mean well and I think you have a very valid point about dogfooding crypto. I'm aware of (and have tried to point out) the limitations of the crypto in Lahana but others might not read it and I think I jumped the gu

If there are Jordanians reading this, could you spend some time testing out Lahana[1] - both nodes and clients and see whether or not that helps? [1] - http://lahana.dreamcats.org/

Thanks for that. I'll take a look into that tomorrow. I'm shattered right now. Trying to just get some nodes up. If I can at least provide the same level of security as the telecomix guys I think everyone (including the telecomix guys) are

Which is great, except for the fact that Tor itself is fraught with a whole load of issues and at the end of the day you can still incriminate yourself. Lahana doesn't implement secrecy because it wasn't a design requirement. It solves a di

The purpose of Lahana is to provide a free method of bypassing filtering that almost anyone can implement and anyone can use. It's not meant to provide secrecy, it just gets you past the first hurdle of the filter and gives you tor as an op

It's not perfect, it's meant to be easily shareable which precludes using certificates. Lahana nodes don't talk to each other and people should set stronger passwords and secrets (although I think I'll set a more secure default). Part of

Anyone who feels like menacing Turkish society by helping provide unfiltered Internet access could do a lot worse than set up a Lahana[1] node. Discussion here[2]. [1] - http://lahana.dreamcats.org/ [2] - https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

If you create a Lahana node, please post the details in the Lahananodes subreddit[1] so others can use it. It's a bit late in the evening in Turkey but I'm trying to get some nodes up for when people come online in the morning. If you can r

Some of you may have read or taken part in the discussion about what's going on in Turkey right now. This is my side project to help people build VPNs using Tor with the free tier. I hope it's helpful not just to Turks but to other people.

Sorry, I should've made that clear - I missed out the word "chain" in the sentence about Turkish ice cream.

It could be extremely dangerous. The sun is very hot in Antalya. You should at least make sure your 3 year old has sun cream and maybe a hat to keep the sun off them. If it gets too hot I would suggest you try a Turkish ice cream called Mad

This is true. I watched the Great Gatsby the other day and I thought "Baz Luhrman would have a field day if he ever went to a furry shindig".
