That could help, but if someone is MITMing you, DNS is all in the clear too. I do not enough to solve that problem really.

Yes they can. They simply decrypt, and reencrypt with their own self signed cert. If you have no way to verify the self-signed cert, you would never know.

How do you verify the cert then? If you can't verify the cert, you have no way to know it is not being man in the middled.

> self-signed was never trusted The whole problem of a self-signed cert is unless you have a priori knowledge of the cert somehow, it then is trivial to MITM a self-signed cert. That is why it was never trusted. That is the point of a si

Plainly put, none of the OSes do the basic features of a phone. Ubuntu Ports is the closest to being daily driver ready, and it cannot do MMS[0] (so group texts and picture texts are out). I cannot comment on the state of other OSes. Even w

I'm glad to hear it! If those are mainlined I would be a lot more excited about this. I imagine it uses u-boot already, that doesn't seem as hard to port to a system and upstream (I got vanilla u-boot working on a Novena, but it d

Sure! Look at my github: https://github.com/chris4795 I tried to document what I did as much as possible for others to look at it. I recall I was able to update it to Stretch (with linux 4.4, not linux 4.9) and I was able t

My main concern with this DIY laptop is if they are mainlining everything for Linux and U-boot. It looks to be entirely open source (due to the use of the NXP/Freescale i.MX8MQ and the work going into that). This unfortunately happened

Are you mainlining everything so a vanilla distro can install on this?

If you're doing it to an alternative port, why are you reverse proxying in the first place? Another option is to reverse proxy to a cloud provider that can provide a static IP.

I have spectrum, and though it is "dynamic", I have never had it change. A couple of thoughts though for Dynamic IP: - I have my DNS on cloudflare, and I make a script that runs ever minute to checkif my ip changed, and if it did,

There was a hardware boot ROM exploit a while ago that enabled arbitrary code execution, and I am presuming that is allowing the ROM dump.

And my argument is if I know the video encoding and compression sequence, I wouldn't depend on AES-ECB. I know the patterns that show up. If I am encrypting something, I only want to depend on the strength of the encryption. I don&#x27

Shannon's source coding theorn says that the entropy in a compressed information is at most the entropy of the uncompressed information. If you add entropy to a compressed algorithm, you are by definition adding noise to the SNR of a s

by kop316 7y ago
Compression does not introdoce entropy to a stream. Please refer to Shannon's source coding theorm. If anything, it reduces entropy.
773.
by kop316 7y ago
The point is that any pattern in the plaintxt data shows up in encrypted data if you use AES-ECB. Compression does not introdoce entropy to a stream. So assuming that saying the stream is compressed and calling it good is a very bad idea. P
