schestowitzMost good computer security meaures, as locks in doors, are not to stop a targeted attack of someone with plenty of resources, but to slow down indiscriminated attacks enough to make them not worth the effort.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzIf someone has something criminal to hide or is a freedom fighter and is under suspicion it's hard even with anonymizing software to get away, most of the time for faults not related to the software, but if lots of people use tor and encryption then it will become too expensive and useless for the government pervasive surveillance, if 99% of the people is just looking at cats photos on the internet.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzIf I have two good locks on a good door and the neighbor has only a standard one he is more likely to be targeted than me, and it's the same for computers.Nov 10 22:49

schestowitz    are not to stop a targeted attack of someone with plenty of resources, but to slow down indiscriminated attacks enough to make them not worth the effort.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzYes, up to a point.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzThe problem here is that while this may work with the neighborhood scriptkiddie (or maybe even Google), it simply doesn't with the NSA. People here simply have no concept of the sheer scale of the NSA's capabilities and resources. You can never inconvenience them more than you do yourself (with the exception of raw encryption out of any context), plus in doing stuff that is expressly hostile, you simply draw unwanted attention -- Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzsort of the reverse of your example. They don't ignore you, they focus on you, and you're backdoored enough on the typical home box to get a good auto-sniffing in less time than it took me to write this. You're typically backdoored from your ISP upward...so your "locks" don't really enter into it.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzAt some point you have to realize the ugly, sour truth that not only do you not own the net, you don't even own your own box. And you're never going to reclaim either of them.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:49
schestowitz"@Privata Persona - I repeat my original question: What do you actually propose as a better method than using Tor?"Nov 10 22:49
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzFor which purpose?Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzI don't believe you can be significantly private nor secure nor (especially) anonymous on your own Internet box, and this is the bottom line. Nobody has given me the slightest credible reason to believe otherwise.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzIf you've come in late, I've been screaming about the NSA and its explosive expansion and utter disregard for basic human rights for thirty (30) years, and until Snowden came along, everyone thought I was crazy.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzI wasn't.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzI can be forgiven for being dismissive of those who are finally, dimly getting the memo at least a couple of decades too late to do anything about it and are replaying all the identical mistakes from around 1992 (Cypherpunks era) while thinking it's progress.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzThis war was lost a very long time ago.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzYou're not going to reclaim the net. You're not going to reclaim your net box. You're not going to reclaim any imaginary rights to privacy or security. Get over it.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzIf there's any answer, it lies in getting anything sensitive totally off your net box and onto religiously airgapped secondary computers and not using your home net box for anything dodgy. View dubious sites at the library, and that may not even be secure.Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzWhat I think offhand must be technically done ASAP to at least try to secure airgapped and RAMdrive/Live computers includes much analysis of possible BIOS compromises/backdoors and development of user-friendly exhaustive BIOS integrity checking software, likewise a very deep analysis of possible removable media exploits and countermeasures against them. Developing removable media exploits are huge with the NSA right now as they are Nov 10 22:49
schestowitzthe primary way of compromising/infecting/pwning airgapped computers. What they are, we don't know aside from the recent big shock about USB being insecure.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThese are just the first couple of things to come to mind.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThe NSA are for sure the world's best funded gang of security crackers. BUT they cannot do magic, or change the laws of physics or mathematics. What you're saying may or may not be true. Just because a conspiracy theory has the potential to be true doesn't mean it is. Always make decisions based on hard evidence. You seem to be saying "Kneel before the great Oz!" I'm wondering what's behind the curtain ...Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzHow would you know? where's your evidence ... Perhaps you are funded by the NSA?Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz@Guy - Temper tantrums won't help.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzWhen defiant ignoramuses say the NSA "isn't magic," I tend to remind them of Clarke's Third Law and refer them to a search of the NSA patent applications archived on John Young's Cryptome.Org, after reading which I assume they sit in humbled silence for a few months. Or just shoot themselves.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzBut I don't need to "prove" what's obvious through simple common sense: There's no magic, tech or effort required to simply auto-hack unsophisticated systems that are already lavishly backdoored for your convenience thanks to your symbiotic/coercive relationship with all major ISPs and marketers of consumer hardware and software. It's not even necessary to find hacks to penetrate the sloppy home computer, as it pretty much comes Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzhacked out of the box. The only firewall in the vast bulk of home systems is what's in the router, which is typically a proprietary unit forced by the ISP, and they are backdoored from the service level on up. Google router backdoors. Bring a lunch.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzAnd that's merely the tip of the iceberg. Google info on backdoors in every other significant component.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzNever mind that every week people are adding more and more faulty/spywared junk to their computers to get more and more fabulous uses out of their "Internet experience," most of which just drags in more intentional or accidental vulnerabilities.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzWhat people want is technically contradictory.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzAnd all this is before the NSA even starts working. When they do, it is literally impossible to be secure from them on a networked box, and surprisingly tough to manage even on an airgapped one.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzIf you've given up your IP (and you have), how do you expect "anonymity"?Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzEtc., etc., etc.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzI tell people to use their heads and think for a change, and that makes me an NSA shill? Please! An NSA shill would be telling you how all this security/anonymity crap was bulletproof and helping "terrorists" and pedophiles to rule the world. Read my profile.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzInevitable conclusion: You don't own your Internet experience. You don't own your computer or your smart phone. You just get to pay for them.Nov 10 22:50

schestowitz    It’s the not knowing that’s the hardest thing, Laura Poitras tells me. “Not knowing whether I’m in a private place or not.” Not knowing if someone’s watching or not. Though she’s under surveillance, she knows that.Nov 10 22:53
schestowitzHuh? That makes no sense.Nov 10 22:53
schestowitzOne of the most exasperating things about the Snowden flap is how Poitras and others who knew astonishingly little about even fake security are now instant experts (never mind that self-aggrandizing Micah Lee character).Nov 10 22:53

As with all people everywhere also in Russia there are peace-loing people and not so peace-loving people. The same is with Ukraine: same personification, same problem: Who is the Ukraine?

schestowitz@Johaness well said, indeed! There are victims from both sides, and also aggressors from both sides. For example, when the Kiev forces start shelling neighbourhoods in Donetsk, hitting civilians who hold Ukrainian passports, isn't Ukraine both the victim AND the aggressor? When Russia sees NATO arriving at its doorstep and reacts, isn't Russia both the victim AND the aggressor?Nov 10 23:30
schestowitzThe problem with Ukraine is that it is still divided between east and west, the Lviv and the Donbas, and it can't cope as one country, just like Serbia and Croatia, or Slovakia and Czeck.Nov 10 23:30
schestowitzAnd finally, @Roy, having NATO expand to Russia's borders, and then warning that Russia is at NATO's borders is a bit silly! The article is correct, the Russian threat is non-existent, it just appeared because NATO pushed back until it had no more!Nov 10 23:30

schestowitz"I agree wholeheartedly and they need to hear it from the perspective not only of GNU/Linux user but also of a user of a proprietary system. I think the allowing people to gradually migrate would work very well if the free software advocates concentrate on introducing Firefox first (and explaining how it is better at respecting privacy), LibreOffice second (and explaining how the open formats serve to ensure that documents will be Nov 14 22:11
schestowitzloadable even long after a developer ceases development of a suite), OGG Vorbis/Opus third (and explaining how the developers made it free for people to encode and decode music whereas other formats require payment of some sort under certain conditions) and GNU/Linux last.

schestowitzIf someone has something criminal to hide or is a freedom fighter and is under suspicion it's hard even with anonymizing software to get away, most of the time for faults not related to the software, but if lots of people use tor and encryption then it will become too expensive and useless for the government pervasive surveillance, if 99% of the people is just looking at cats photos on the internet.Nov 10 22:49

schestowitz    are not to stop a targeted attack of someone with plenty of resources, but to slow down indiscriminated attacks enough to make them not worth the effort.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzYes, up to a point.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThe problem here is that while this may work with the neighborhood scriptkiddie (or maybe even Google), it simply doesn't with the NSA. People here simply have no concept of the sheer scale of the NSA's capabilities and resources. You can never inconvenience them more than you do yourself (with the exception of raw encryption out of any context), plus in doing stuff that is expressly hostile, you simply draw unwanted attention -- Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzsort of the reverse of your example. They don't ignore you, they focus on you, and you're backdoored enough on the typical home box to get a good auto-sniffing in less time than it took me to write this. You're typically backdoored from your ISP upward...so your "locks" don't really enter into it.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzAt some point you have to realize the ugly, sour truth that not only do you not own the net, you don't even own your own box. And you're never going to reclaim either of them.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"@Privata Persona - I repeat my original question: What do you actually propose as a better method than using Tor?"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzFor which purpose?Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzI don't believe you can be significantly private nor secure nor (especially) anonymous on your own Internet box, and this is the bottom line. Nobody has given me the slightest credible reason to believe otherwise.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzIf you've come in late, I've been screaming about the NSA and its explosive expansion and utter disregard for basic human rights for thirty (30) years, and until Snowden came along, everyone thought I was crazy.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzI wasn't.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzI can be forgiven for being dismissive of those who are finally, dimly getting the memo at least a couple of decades too late to do anything about it and are replaying all the identical mistakes from around 1992 (Cypherpunks era) while thinking it's progress.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThis war was lost a very long time ago.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzYou're not going to reclaim the net. You're not going to reclaim your net box. You're not going to reclaim any imaginary rights to privacy or security. Get over it.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzIf there's any answer, it lies in getting anything sensitive totally off your net box and onto religiously airgapped secondary computers and not using your home net box for anything dodgy. View dubious sites at the library, and that may not even be secure.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzWhat I think offhand must be technically done ASAP to at least try to secure airgapped and RAMdrive/Live computers includes much analysis of possible BIOS compromises/backdoors and development of user-friendly exhaustive BIOS integrity checking software, likewise a very deep analysis of possible removable media exploits and countermeasures against them. Developing removable media exploits are huge with the NSA right now as they are Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzthe primary way of compromising/infecting/pwning airgapped computers. What they are, we don't know aside from the recent big shock about USB being insecure.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThese are just the first couple of things to come to mind.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzThe NSA are for sure the world's best funded gang of security crackers. BUT they cannot do magic, or change the laws of physics or mathematics. What you're saying may or may not be true. Just because a conspiracy theory has the potential to be true doesn't mean it is. Always make decisions based on hard evidence. You seem to be saying "Kneel before the great Oz!" I'm wondering what's behind the curtain ...Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzHow would you know? where's your evidence ... Perhaps you are funded by the NSA?Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz"Nov 10 22:50
schestowitz@Guy - Temper tantrums won't help.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzWhen defiant ignoramuses say the NSA "isn't magic," I tend to remind them of Clarke's Third Law and refer them to a search of the NSA patent applications archived on John Young's Cryptome.Org, after reading which I assume they sit in humbled silence for a few months. Or just shoot themselves.Nov 10 22:50
schestowitzBut I don't need to "prove" what's obvious through simple common sense: There's no magic, tech or effort required to simply auto-hack unsophisticated systems that are already lavishly backdoored for your convenience thanks to your symbiotic/coercive relationship with all major ISPs and marketers of consumer hardware and software. It's not even necessary to find hacks to penetrate the sloppy home computer, as it pretty much comes Nov 10 22:51
schestowitzhacked out of the box. The only firewall in the vast bulk of home systems is what's in the router, which is typically a proprietary unit forced by the ISP, and they are backdoored from the service level on up. Google router backdoors. Bring a lunch.Nov 10 22:51
schestowitzAnd that's merely the tip of the iceberg. Google info on backdoors in every other significant component.Nov 10 22:51
schestowitzNever mind that every week people are adding more and more faulty/spywared junk to their computers to get more and more fabulous uses out of their "Internet experience," most of which just drags in more intentional or accidental vulnerabilities.Nov 10 22:51

schestowitz@Johaness well said, indeed! There are victims from both sides, and also aggressors from both sides. For example, when the Kiev forces start shelling neighbourhoods in Donetsk, hitting civilians who hold Ukrainian passports, isn't Ukraine both the victim AND the aggressor? When Russia sees NATO arriving at its doorstep and reacts, isn't Russia both the victim AND the aggressor?Nov 10 23:31
schestowitzThe problem with Ukraine is that it is still divided between east and west, the Lviv and the Donbas, and it can't cope as one country, just like Serbia and Croatia, or Slovakia and Czeck.Nov 10 23:31
schestowitzAnd finally, @Roy, having NATO expand to Russia's borders, and then warning that Russia is at NATO's borders is a bit silly! The article is correct, the Russian threat is non-existent, it just appeared because NATO pushed back until it had no more!Nov 10 23:31

schestowitz"I agree wholeheartedly and they need to hear it from the perspective not only of GNU/Linux user but also of a user of a proprietary system. I think the allowing people to gradually migrate would work very well if the free software advocates concentrate on introducing Firefox first (and explaining how it is better at respecting privacy), LibreOffice second (and explaining how the open formats serve to ensure that documents will be Nov 14 22:11
schestowitzloadable even long after a developer ceases development of a suite), OGG Vorbis/Opus third (and explaining how the developers made it free for people to encode and decode music whereas other formats require payment of some sort under certain conditions) and GNU/Linux last.
