I'd guess that almost all Ethereum in circulation has passed through Tornado Cash at some point. The funds didn't come directly from Tornado, even if they passed through it in the past.

You're disregarding the context of those words. Schneier is illustrating the gap between the academic and practical meanings of "broken".

Are they considered suspect because they're counterfeit, or are they considered suspect because those specific parts appear to have malfunctioned?
247.
by prvit 4y ago
Nothing here suggests that those counterfeit components caused a malfunction.

General public isn’t going to spend $1k+/yr on a SIM card to avoid data brokers. Yeah, you might sell to a few rich nerds from HN. But for each of those you’ll get tens of drug dealers and other organised crime.

Drug dealers make up like 90+% of the market for expensive cryptophones. There’s been a bunch of companies selling “PGP phones” specifically to drug dealers. Many of these have been shut down by LE. If you look, you’ll find that most of the

That’s only credible if we’re to believe that they know literally nothing about the market they’re entering.

The branding is pretty revealing. They’re calling this “PGPP” because they want to sell to drug dealers. Various “secured” encrypted phones have been sold as “PGP phones” for years now regardless of underlying the technology having anything

Yeah, but the Cloudflare CEO seems (pretends?) to be downright delusional. He acts like as if internet outside of Cloudflare doesn’t exist, he pretends that there are no alternatives. Either he’s actually insane or this is just a marketing

Don’t take everything you read on twitter seriously. At best those people will sign up for some booters.

I wonder if he's actually so delusional to think that he's got the power to decide what goes on the internet, or if this is just something Cloudflare marketing is trying to push to make them seem like the only option anyone could

Go on, how do you plan to do that while remaining compatible with stock tor clients? It's simply not possible for the server to distinguish between real and malicious rendezvous requests.

by prvit 4y ago
That's not what Null claims, and in any case it sounds extremely unlikely that Cloudflare would attempt to justify their decision in such detail.

A strange move to attribute KF claims to CF.

Onionbalance doesn’t solve anything, the attack remains asymmetric so you’ll have to spend significantly more on hardware than the attacker is. > If it was easy, I wouldn't expect them to still be online on TOR after all this time.

Wait, why should Cloudflare give any evidence?

by prvit 4y ago
Most sites would delete your posts if you post someones SSN and credit report. Yet, I can easily find such posts going back years on Kiwifarms For example: http://uquusqsaaad66cvub4473csdu4uu7ahxou3zqc35fpw5d4ificedz...

I don't think anyone is actually DDoSing kiwifarms at any significant scale. If they end up running the site on a server with no DDoS filtering at all, people will probably DoS them because it will be super easy.
266.
by prvit 4y ago
This isn't meaningfully different from using onionbalance, the attackers will still be at a significant advantage.

by prvit 4y ago
People are extorting big money from drug markets doing this... It's very easy, anyone with basic grasp of C can modify the Tor client to do this.

by prvit 4y ago
Complete nonsense. You can easily DoS a specific service by flooding it with rendezvous requests.

How is 4chan worse? They rapidly take down any CSAM and anything that vaguely resembles a raid. Most KF threads wouldn't survive on today's 4chan for even an hour. This 12 years old comment describes the situation in 2010 https:&
