Hey Holla Forums are you excited for the return of Cryptocat? crypto.cat/news.html
Since the rewrite, Cryptocat moved from a browser extension to a desktop app. Atm the features are sparse but I think Cryptocat still provides the best UI when it comes to secure chat program and probably our best bet for adoption by the normies once it moves out of beta.
CC is far from invulnerable but it's a good effort. It's not going to be easy to convince people to install shit tho.
I, for one, welcome our new cryptographic overlords.
Aaron Perez
Hmm. I've been studying Ricochet lately, which also defends against metadata attackes. Not sure why I should care about Cryptocat.
Jordan Cooper
Maybe people in Hamburgerland will care. But not in Europe. No NSA.
Austin Gonzalez
Lol you are lying to yourself if you think the NSA isnt spying on you If they did it to Merkel they can do it to anybody
Xavier Sullivan
Yeah, no one in Europe is looking at your internet activity.
Joseph Stewart
Source?
Aaron Smith
I remember hearing Cryptocat implemented mpOTR, can anyone confirm that?
Ryan Allen
One of the major controversies of the NSA is that it spies on domestic citizens. Spying on other countries is basically a given.
Liam Ramirez
Haha, good one. Let us guess which of the five I's posted this one.
GCHQ
Ryder Williams
at least it isn't skype
Nathaniel Lee
Yeah, all with the same key.
Austin Smith
no... I think it's fucking garbage
Mason Lee
cats are overrated
Ethan Robinson
hash some subkeys from the original keys and there is no problem.
Isaiah Young
disgusting
Lincoln Edwards
I'm too lazy to find the picture right now but the guy was Dutch/Flemish, not Swedish
Matthew Butler
yay more metadata
Nicholas Gutierrez
...
Jaxson Stewart
Was meant to quote
Charles Turner
another worse-than-tox IM that tries to appeal to normies using memes kys fam
Xavier Roberts
Since the rewrite it uses OMEMO to send out message. Which is basically a multicast OTR or at least based on OTR. The original version of Cryptocat had something in the works to be a mpOTR but it was never audited I believe.
Tell me when Tox stops leaking your IP
From the network, all messages look exactly the same and impossible to determine who sent without having one of the parties key in the process. By definition, this doesn't make account names metadata. At this point, the only metadata generated from sending messages is the time they were sent if someone was snooping on the network. But that true for every chat protocol.
Jace King
You're right. You don't have the NSA. You have your own version. It's basically the same, it just goes by a different name. It even works together with the NSA.
Nathaniel Moore
I see, thx for clarifying.
Jaxson Turner
Tell me when bittorrent stops leaking your IP.
Jonathan Wood
I torrent over TOR, I iz safe. :)
Hudson Wood
I use i2p bittorrent, no ips to leak :^)
Christopher Richardson
I find it hard to believe that anything can be worse than tox, sell it to me.
Anthony Long
why not make a jabber client with sane defaults i.e. opportunistic otr and connections over tor / i2p ?
Adrian Martinez
I've been afraid of tox since a friend of mine demonstrated an exploit on me by crashing tox and opening up a random application a few months ago.
Brody Smith
he's dutch, not swedish and he later said it was just a rethorical question not something that actually happened.
and Zuckerberg doesn't own Twitter
Andrew Rivera
Tell me when you get that netbios-over-ethernet IM client working, kid :^)
Isaiah Moore
Why not just use tox?
Also don't fucking tell me the IP thing, even with crypto cat you might not give your friend the IP but you give it to the cryptocat site.
Brandon Murphy
Jesus.
Ayden Ortiz
Did he at least try reporting it as a bug? That's kinda what you should do when you discover a security problem.
Luis Cook
If crypto strength matters that much in a shitposting application, you shouldn't use a third-party system to do it at all.
Luke Gray
it's "five eyes", like eyes that look out for you.
Jonathan Howard
The Tor Project is on it, look up Tor Messenger, it's currently in beta.
Andrew Baker
The Tor Project is on it, look up Tor Messenger, it's currently in beta.
Luis Campbell
The Tor Project is on it, look up Tor Messenger, it's currently in beta.
Jaxson Price
HOTLWHEELS FIX YOUR GODDAMN SITE
Connor Harris
Or if you want something non-beta, I find ricochet.im/ quite impressive.
Haven't really used Tor Messenger though, I'd personally be interested in a comparison with Ricochet. (I think we're all agreed that CryptoCat and Tox are shit.)
Adrian Rogers
no, it's fundamentally broken - you can't do proper crypto in a browser
Cooper Lee
that's true and nadim kobeissi is a dangerous dipshit to even try it in the first place but it's not a browser app any more
