Building the new Tor

I found this part interesting,

"In 2014, the US government paid Carnegie Mellon University to run a series of poisoned Tor relays to de-anonymise Tor users. A 2015 research paper outlined an attack effective, under certain circumstances, at decloaking Tor hidden services (now rebranded as "onion services"). Most recently, 110 poisoned Tor hidden service directories were discovered probing .onion sites for vulnerabilities, most likely in an attempt to de-anonymise both the servers and their visitors."


It really amazes me how much our Gvt is working hard to break the internet and snoop on every living man woman and child in the world.

I hope when the Snowden movie comes out and people realize someone has been in their phone listening, in their computer copying, watching them through their cameras,..they'll be massive outrage.

.....I don't think it'll happen because people are lazy as f**k. But I hope the movie will open some eyes at how far they've gone. I know a lot of people don't read or pay attention,..or don't know anything about Snowden other than, "OMG traitor!" ... but I hope the movie opens some eyes. People are receptive to movies.

Cell phones are cool but it's easy to forget you're carrying around a camera and microphone that can see and hear everything you do.

...which wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't for the fact there are people who have a full time job of watching and listening to what you do.


Anyway interesting article and I wish them luck. People have a right to privacy.


I also find it interesting that hacking is illegal,...unless the Gvt is doing it.



the fact the trailer has almost 8 million views gives me hope people are starting to pay attention though.

.....I don't think it'll happen because people are lazy as f**k.

I hear ya...

That is the biggest issue - LAZY and are SHEEP

 

[TheX]

People are afraid to believe it's true, and too lazy to spend the time required to educate themselves.

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

People are afraid to believe it's true,

I hadn't considered that maybe it's too scary for a lot of people to even think about.

that's a fair point.

[AnthonyWeiner] They can spy on my phone all they want. All they're gonna get is pictures of my donger. [/AnthonyWeiner]

The MLP has a duty to educate the masses as to what's really going on.

 

[James R]

So, serious question here.
What is the solution to being spied on by the gov through devices and computers?
Seems logical to me that the best way to combat it is to not own devices or go on the Internet at all.
I personally don't think people care enough about their privacy to give up the convenience of the very thing that's robbing them of it in the first place.

Mal.... You have it all wrong!

It's really: Lazy as $hiT!

Because the other as described above, takes effort. AND...... usually, the more effort you put in. the better it gets!

But we all know the story about $hiT. It just sits there smelling bad.

Kinda like the trajectory of the above link.


And I've red complacency is a byproduct of fluoride consumption. It is the first ingredient in Rat poison too.

Got any Peanut Butter?

 

[Bytor1958]

It's a conspiracy theory.

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

@james

that's the problem.

and there's the issue of if you're, "not connected at all",...that looks suspicious too.

We're all carrying around surveillance devices. Track your movements, where you go online, what you look at, what you buy, your emails are read, your texts are read, they can listen through the microphone, they can see through the camera (usually a camera lens on both sides of the phone at that), and on and on.

It's funny years ago people used to laugh that I'd tape over my cameras. ..now a lot of people are doing it.

and it's not that I'm doing anything bad. I just don't like a camera lens pointed at me all the time. I don't like the feeling someone could be watching me and I wouldn't know it.

 

[LPMarshall Hack]

If I saw someone with tape over their lens, I would still laugh at them. And point.

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

look at Zuckerbergs (Facebook founder) computer...

..think he knows something you don't?

 

[Tone deaf]

There are lots of vulnerabilities in our tech-enabled lifestyles. There are many ways to reduce these vulnerabilities but, the biggest key is personal discipline.

The easiest low-tech solutions are tape over camera lenses and pulling the battery out of your phone (or if you can't pull the battery, put it in a faraday bag). Also, use the security systems on your routers, printers and other devices.

I use several different practices to keep both personal and work related data safe and to prevent accidental disclosure of things I don't want disclosed. I am also very private so, I do additional things to ensure my privacy.

 

[Mindfrigg]

Yep. I tape my laptop webcam. Couldn't hurt.

'Course when I had a serious drug problem I would also unplug my television. This was the '70s.

I find it very hard to believe that there are enough hired ppl to listen and watch everyone with a cell phone in the USA. There is 324,369,77X ppl in the USA with approximately 10million per every 4 yrs of age meaning under 5 there's 10 mil, 5-9, 10 mil and so forth. So let's subtract 20mil from 324,369,77X and we have 300,369,77X using cell phones from age 10 and up. What you're saying is that they have another 324mil ppl listening in on all our conversations? Watching our every move? If that was the case, we'd stop crime before it ever took place...

If anybody (gov't) wants to tap into my cell phone camera, they are welcome to the view inside my pants pocket, because that is where it is 99% of the time.

My mother taught me, that if you live your life cleanly, nobody will ever have an opportunity to use it to bring you down.

Well, I can't quite live up to that (sorry, Mom), but I still think that I'm pretty safe from big brother.

You're ruining the conspiracy theory!

Sorry. I'll go back to the illuminati

The rules don't apply to the little people. Keep that in mind in a couple months.
