Not so sure that's a good example? From https://isotope.metafizzy.co/#commercial-license , it looks like they are offering paid commercial licenses.

This article illustrates very well how a confrontational style can have the opposite effect. I don't know what this guy gets out of this, with zero appreciation for all the work Tor and its volunteers have done, no acknowledgement what

Signal pumps all traffic across AWS infrastructure, where the simplest of all traffic analysis can deanonymize its users. Signal relies on phone numbers (for reasons), which again is not exactly the best "metadata" to carry around

Because packet formats are bad? I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Agreed. It has been long overdue that alternative OpenPGP implementations exist that try to address some of the peculiarities of GnuPG -- most of which are [still] there because its founder wants to preserve compatibility at all costs to su

That is the single most common misconception around PGP, and it comes up every time: (Open)PGP is first and foremost a flexible packet format (and other specs), and GnuPG is more of a CLI "library" to interface with it -- all of i

This does not answer my question: You can still use the OpenPGP Signature scheme to implement this, and pick or invent a signature type to avoid the mix-up with existing signatures. You can still enforce "A centralized database"

I don't understand why this needs a new "key endorsement" infrastructure - isn't that exactly what certifications ("signing other people's keys") is meant for? Why not use one of the existing OpenPGP signa

Well, it's about time to reboot into a new kernel then. Seriously, the times where long uptime were something to celebrate are long over. System security is important.

The "fact that a user is using Tor" is not discussed in the post. There is zero connection between how Tor nodes generate their TLS certificates and whether or not you can detect that a user is using Tor. All you can do with this

I can't see how this is a "0day". This post talks about how you can identify a running Tor when you connect to the (operator-assigned, public) relay port. You can only "see" these TLS certificate details when you ar
