disgruntled idiots

I cant help but notice that everyone here stroking their ego at my expense only has like one thread to their name and hardly any posts, but they cant help the butthurt to pop in to bother me, like they are some type of experts on what I should post or not.

Thanks for bumbping the thread though! See you in another 5 years when I say something that rings true and you cant help yourself but validate what I say.

For any interested, the only way to truly hide your internet traffic is to connect to TOR using a tinybox(anonabox), building one, or joining the TOR network by hosting traffic and then linking your devices to your home network on TOR.

True encryption is based off the hardware TOR uses, not just software.....hence why the network was infiltrated by the authorities THROUGH HARDWARE they used to host some of the traffic.

But hey, not a hacker or anything. What do I know

Now I could go on a rant about how pathetic and ignorant you come off in your OP, but you did it perfectly already so why should I bother?

What? Didn't you read the thread, the kiddie who did this even posted on this thread and I gotta say TadaMan was on point with the slug.

You are really outta line saying that we can't express our feelings 'cause it disagrees with yours. To me, you're ignorant.

Note: TadaMan, I liked your other avatar better, you look so dark on this one. I hope you change it soon, but lol, it's your decision. I won't ORDER it unlike some of the thought police on this board.

I think the old old one will come back. Corialanus can retire. Lol

Thanks BTW.

In their minds they thought they were giants by hurting ATS. You made a good case to support who they were really hurting, the regular people who are members here. I hope they now understand.

See ya on the boards,

What makes you think they are script kiddies? What would the motive be? Where is the financial benefit? What knowledge is being suppressed against whose agenda? I would look more at alphabet agencies, since their handlers are the ones that truly benefit from an un-informed populace.

Cheers - Dave

Your point is a moot point imho. It doesn't matter who they are, from an agency to a person in their basement in their underwear wearing black socks and sandals eating Cheetos, it doesn't matter! Tadaman clearly pointed out that it was hurting the regular people and went to great lengths to shame them. The shame would carry into the mind of whoever/whatever person or group initiated this. They're all human, right?

If even for one moment, one instance they realized the truth of his posts and who they were aligned with and the stupidity of their actions this thread will shame them into rethinking their targets, I hope.

Lets try it

THANKS!

LOL. Your the best.

coriolanus turned into a hacker!

a reply to: Quantum12

I will leave it for a bit. I have to tweak it. Its too dark.

LOL.

Thanks, hoodie and all. I only had the one and its in the wash now. I will have to get it dry to play the part. LOL

I forgot your coffee and cigarettes.

I figured I would throw this in here since people like to act like they are Gods of knowledge in technocratic heaven and the rest of us peasants cant understand basic written language.

That is a little device you can build and have 100% secure protection on YOUR end. There is no 100% security though, since the weakest link of security is the total security.

People like to think TOR is safe. It IS NOT. There have been studies that show with as little as 5 relays and dubious exit nodes on the TOR network, any traffic can be eavesdropped.

You would have to add encryption to the device you build. If you send plain text over TOR, you sent plain text that people can interpret. Log in credentials, bitcoins, all of it.

Encryption on one end is nothing. You would need to set up a server (tunnel) that you can put encryption on, that can be the intermediary between two users like on TOR. You need to wrap up all your entire data stream within it to be safe. YOU have to set up the VPN.

SO basically you and your buddy, lets say you, reporter A, and reporter B are on TOR talking about a major political scandal. They want to use encryption in their messages over TOR.

They cant get a TOR relay to receive data that is encrypted, decrypt and sort it out, and then send it out again to the recipient encrypted again.

You need a randomizer you control, or have the key to the encryption to. That is what an anonobox type build working with a server you control can do if you configure it to have encryption.

So by having a server you build that is not a TOR relay, but that reporter A´s box can send encrypted data and commands to so as to send information to reporter B, you can have 100% encryption on both ends.

Why not just send encrypted data over TOR? You can, but TOR has huge draw backs, especially security wise when accessing the regular internet over it. Things like speed is awful. If you want to send an email between TOR and the regular internet or vice versa of like 8000 words,of 4-8 characters in each word before encryption, good luck. A video? Yeah, grow old trying to finish that task. I wouldnt be surprised if security would be compromised after sitting on the same connection (relay) for hours while you do it.

There are free services you can use on the internet that act as an intermediary for encrypted data, but if you want to be sure, you build your OWN SERVER, use a box like the one I mentioned and have the other end use a box with the same encryption and protocols.

That pain in the ass way is the only way to be sure. ANY traffic over TOR is vulnerable. If you think using TOR alone without encryption on BOTH ends makes you safe, you are an idiot.

But like douche bags say, I am no hacker. I just have the freaking internet with all of mankind's knowledge available to my non hacker ass. I dont understand everything and I am no where capable of implementing any of this. I still know its true!

If you are smart you set up your own relays on a network YOU control, so you control the exit nodes, encrypt your data on both ends and if you are really good, you could have two whistle blowers chatting about CIA secrets with no problem as long as they are not physically caught.

You have to control the hardware in between the connection. It has to encrypt the data streams and be able to sort it out so commands and such are understood.

HENCE build the hardware....You cant just log onto a random server and ask it to do the work for you and think you are being slick.

TOR is FULL of bad relays now, with exit nodes compromising data as it peels the last layer off the onion.

Unless you adapt, you are as useless as me.

BUT for the average person like myself, what ever.

For an EMBASSY, a news agency or other such entity.....DO THIS.

(disclaimer, I know there are other ways of doing this that are easier, but the point is the goal, as close to 100% security as possible since it will never be there)

I'm confused. If you're not a hacker and do not fully understand the issues involved and aren't capable of implementing any of it - how come you think that what you write is true?

a reply to: ForteanOrg

Do you read english? Do you know the concept behind breaking earths gravity for orbit? Did you read that? Can you launch a rocket and do so?

Your question doesnt make sense.

Do you know how a cell phone works? Basically? Can you fix yours when it breaks? Can you build one?

Tell me this concept escaped you....LOL

Is this written in very complicated terms? Can you understand it? Ok, thats how.

This agenda with me is retarded. Accept the information, refute it with BETTER information or just leave me alone. You guys are looking so desperate and mean spirited by badgering me over retarded nonsense.

I am SO glad I made this thread. Its eye opening to say the least.

AND hey, maybe you have good intentions, but lack common sense. How is any of this productive? How is it helping anyone besides yourselves in feeling better when belittling someone just tyring to help.

Leave me alone if you cant post on topic. I am not the subject, though some would love to make me the issue since they cant actually refute what I say, or are such sticklers that common sense might as well be part of a skill set like launching a rocket into space is for me. I can still figure out the basics though. Others cant say that much about common sense.

So if you are just being a stickler and honestly cant see the harm in badgering someone over nonsense, then I apologize. If not, just stop. Its lame beyond measure.

EDIT TO ADD:
Do you actually find something I said to be factually wrong? Or are you trying to verify if the information is good based on the source? If so I suggest you start with the information and if you would be so kind, forgive my ignorance and CORRECT it for me. Point out what is wrong. If not, dont begin to lecture me, asking if and how I understand something so as to verify something you dont understand and cant verify factually yourself.

take it with a grain of salt and read more beyond this one thread and poster if you be so inclined.

I am only trying to help.

MY intentions are clear in that much.

What are all your intentions here?

Yes. And I might even understand the meaning of some of it

Your question doesnt make sense.

I think it does. You yourself say that you did not understand everything you read. You do assume, however, that you understood enough to teach / help us. But the Internet is a pack of half-truths, truths and lies, some very convincing. How can you be so sure you haven't simply read lies - believable, but nonsensical stuff? So, the sources you quote - are they reliable? How do you know?

This agenda with me is retarded. Accept the information, refute it with BETTER information or just leave me alone. You guys are looking so desperate and mean spirited by badgering me over retarded nonsense.

Accepting the information you offer is quite difficult if you yourself say you aren't quite sure that you understood what you read.

I am only trying to help. MY intentions are clear in that much.

Duly noted.

What are all your intentions here?

Very simple: to deny ignorance.

a reply to: tadaman

Somebodies knowledge is not automatically transferred to you because you know them. So, you can have many hacker friends and still not have a real clue about hacker culture and the required knowledge and skills.

I might be able to refute or confirm things you wrote. But you are on a high horse and I don't like it if people talk down to me. I'm not your teacher. You aren't mine. Let's live with that.
