Q: TOR with SSH Server on top of it

One of the problems with tor is the exit node - if it's a malicious, it can sniff all the traffic. If I will chain TOR and SSH server (TOR->SSH Server->Internet), the exit node will be able to strip my traffic or it will route it to the SSH server and only the SSH server will be able to see the s...

Anyone else see the same problem I do?

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek uhh if any of this is true "As of 2012, 80% of the Tor Project's $2M annual budget comes from the United States government, with the Swedish government and other organizations providing the rest,[16] including NGOs and thousands of individual sponsors.[17] On December 17, 2013, the Tor Project announced that it would begin accepting bitcoin, . . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)#History

Journeyman Geek

10:19

@Psycogeek: Tor was developed by the US navy

Psycogeek

Then the TOR network along with bitcoin, is proably a perfect way to "consolidate" crime, making it much easier to track. Beings they had so much trouble with tracking everything.

And poof goes silk road.

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek: with privacy the US government has a mild case of MPD

They want everyone elses citizens to have privacy from their own governments ;p

Psycogeek

Guys I was arrested yesterday and out on bond now. But something is f--ed! I know I'm risking more warning you guys and my attorney doesn't even want me on the internet but you guys need to know this. When I was in the interview room they showed me all sorts of s--t that they should not know or have access to including conversations I've had with buyers and even DPR. I don't fucking understand.. and when I was in there I was at a loss for words. Something is definitely wrong . . .

Journeyman Geek

DPR?

Psycogeek

Journeyman Geek

lol

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek it kinda has to be in the US, they quit hanging people on trees 50+ years ago. so there is a lot of laywers and legalese stuff that if it is not followed correct , things get thrown out.

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek: I mean, they tracked the guy down on SO through a username ;p

slhck

@WilliamHilsum Yeah, it's probably hard to find anything that's not shady. I don't know if there's an actually honest review out there.

The best PST recovery tool is a backup :P

Psycogeek

My friend who knows way less about computers says "how then is TOR more safe and secure, if it goes through 4 times as many computers"

I tried to explain that it would specifically go through computers like say a Hackers computer , who also wants to be anonomouse, just to reasure him that it is perfectaly safe

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: The best recovery tool, period, is a tested backup

man, the android SE app gets updated a lot

Clippy

Hello. I've many PC on Windows 7/8 I want to install chrome on all those PC, I've two extensions (adblock + ghostery) to install on each Chrome installation of each PC.
The fastest way I found to perform this is to install chrome manually on each computer then install adblock + ghostery again manually on each computer... is there any way so I can install both adblock + ghostery and chrome at the same time

Or is it the fastest way ? :)

Psycogeek

@Clippy potentially you could trace the install (discover all changes made) then make scripting stuff that makes those same changes. My other browser, i can just drag and drop and it finds all the plug-ins and its done. But that one is more portable. is there a portable version ?

Clippy

10:53

@Psycogeek Yeah, that's a good idea, I think I'll go for a portable version of Chrome, I just need to know how I'll manage the updates for these portables versions but that should be ok thank you

@Psycogeek I know this is not the same thing as Tor, but how website such as Hackforums and Blackhatworld can still be online ? I never understood that can someone explain me ? Yes they're (or their members) offering/selling black hat softwares, black hat services, sharing hacking/scamming methods..

Psycogeek

@Clippy they have rules there too, things they cant/dont say outright? then in america were supposed to have "freedom of speech" which was supposed to extend to any sort of possible discussion. It is "action(s)" that were supposed to be illegal. But lots of that has changed with the digital laws, laws put in place because digital made things different.

I believe it is now illegal to publicly discuss breaking protections for example. Then there are (as always) exeptions, because protections (general) still have to be discussed to inovate them.

slhck

11:12

For a second there I thought Clippy had become alive.

Psycogeek

It is also legal (or tolerated) to sell any sort of software or hardware to break into (the disclaimer) Your Own computer network for testing security.

William Hilsum

@OliverSalzburg Smart ass

:P

Psycogeek

So you can test your security with our little black box, that will find every exploit steal all your data (for testing) and ship it off to some web servier you have setup. And we know for sure that people buying that would be using it just to test. (sure)

Journeyman Geek

@Clippy: You might be able to load the .crx files directly.

which would, at least, save you some download time

@Clippy: would these systems have different accounts or the same one?

That Brazilian Guy

12:11

@Clippy: it looks like you're trying to install chrome on all those PC. Would you like some help?

Journeyman Geek

lol

That Brazilian Guy

> I believe it is now illegal to publicly discuss breaking protections for example.

You mean Information Security is outlawed?

Clippy

@Psycogeek Alright, so the forum rules and the way of how black hat software/methods are shown can cover all illegal "actions".
@slhck With the technological progress, now Clippy can't help you to do anything, it's now time for him to ask questions.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah that's also a good idea & they'll have different accounts.

in The Bridge, 9 mins ago, by Martin Sojka

So, the German highest court published their take on re-selling used digitally distributed software: Yep, that's legal. All parts of any license or EULA which say otherwise are void by law. The one who's in charge of distributing the software has to allow the new owner of the license to download it as well as any updates which are part of the license. You're even allowed to break software bought in bulk into parts (turning a 10-seat bulk license into 10 one-seat ones).

How about we make apps for consumer complaint websites such as Callercenter.com available on our phone, too? Since these sites are filled with information about nuisance and scam callers, when a reported phone number calls, the app can just ring an alarm about the caller and display the report. With that, the recipient is alerted. And most importantly, what's nice about this idea is that the recipient will never have to pay for it or buy a new phone to stop unsolicited calls.

For email, it sucks. But it's encrypted email between FC users. It has communities, conferences, great calendaring... But I love the conferences! Like newsgroups or forums, and we can post attachments and such to it. Plus, access it like a WebDAV drive

And see the history of a message (i.e. if a user deleted it, forwarded it, downloaded attachment, replied, read it, etc), and instant messaginb built in

And forms! You can create custom "apps" inside of it, such as reports or in-out boards, or time off requests, etc. All programed in Python, if you have an admin who knows Python
