https://tox.chat/clients.html Tox is open source, cross platform, free, and uses encryption and out of everything that's happened in the last few days, it hasn't been mentioned in Vault 7, as far as I know. There are apps for both desktops and mobile devices. You create a profile much the same way you create an OpenVPN config file. In other words, it can be shared across devices and isn't stored on a server. That profile, which stays on your computer/phone, contains information that's password protected regarding user info (user name and a profile pic if you want) when connecting to a Tox server. The Tox server only acts as a relay until it finds the person you want to talk to. Then, it's encrypted p2p. In most cases, it only works if both sides are running clients, much the same way as other instant messaging apps. Tox supports video or audio calling, text messaging, and file sharing. You can change your "availability." There is no phone number or "signup." The code used to act as a "phone number" is incredibly long and randomized. If someone contacts you via Tox, you either know them or you posted your Tox string online somewhere. Most clients support QR Code reading to make sharing contact info much easier. Be very careful though, Tox is also the same name given to a randsomewear designer on the dark web. They have nothing to do with each other and call me paranoid, but I suspect it was on purpose to scare people from something that works really well. I only say this because if you DuckDuckGo "Tox" by itself, bad stuff may or may not show up instead. Only people that care enough to use a Tox client are also probably the same kind of people that know what "randsomewear" is. Use the URL I gave at the beginning and you'll be fine.
People just expect companies to fix the vulnerabilities while knowing that they're still going to be spied on regardless. People are social networking sheep now and it's become normal to have no privacy. And because it's a government intelligence agency and so forth, you can't hold anyone accountable, even if you could spinoff the fact that not reporting vulnerablities puts everyone at risk, regardless of the country origin. U.S. intelligence agencies aren't the only ones with this knowledge and it stands to reason Black Hats knew about them too. But, they gotta get results to justify the spending. Screw everyone else because there are about 16 or so agencies like them in the U.S. competing with each other. I think that there's talk of complete data sharing among all of them, but that's dangerous. They are like any IT firm, but more God complexed and evil. Maybe it's a stretch to say that, but "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." If they told people how to fix vulnerabilities or what system not to use (Window$ cough cough) risks putting them out of a job. And anyone better at it usually gets arrested at the first screw up, regardless of White Hat or not. Yet, the U.S. hires militia when they want to get things done under the radar all the time. Example: Black Water. When Cold War 2 starts and our infrastructure crumbles and our best "tools," aka "tech militia" are all in prison, "missing...dead..cough cough," or kicked out for being brown, maybe they'll rethink things, though I doubt it. Your average white collar will not take the time to learn to be proactive in computer defense. Just ain't gonna happen.
prints out the tcp packets from eth0 in HEX or ASCII format. So, actual encrypted packets would look like garbage. prints an overview of system audit information, including failed login attempts. traces packets sent from start to finish. A LAN scanner would be good to have too just to see who's on the router. I used to use one to see if my RA was in the building or not. Mistake number one, naming your phone with your actual name or a name at all. Entering a " " actually prevents devices from seeing the phone when using it as a hotspot, so it may have other benefits. Or, just name everything the exact same and let the router assign numbers. They change every so often. Lynis (and Rkhunter) is an open source program built for finding Rootkits on Unix-based systems, ie. Linux and Mac. It also prints out suggestions from what it finds to harden your system. ClamAV is an open source virus scanner; unfortunately, it's front ends are deferent for different operating systems and makes it hard to tell if you're getting the real thing. You should also hide your network if you can. In other words, people driving by your house can't pick it up normally when scanning. I think Kali has tools to circumvent this, which brings me to next point. Kali is a Linux based distro that's been around for a really long time and is designed for ethical hacking and could be used to test your stuff out. Oh and, for the love of God, encrypt your Home directory. Linux has LUKS (SHA512), Mac (not sure) has FileVault, and Window$....not going to matter if running 10. You can also learn how to shred your files to prevent recovery. Emptying the trash doesn't do much good anymore. For Mac users, "srm" (secure file removal) command is built in even though they removed secure empty trash option for whatever reason. It wipes 35 times by default. Linux also has srm available, as well as "shred" built in with wipe number options. There are many others for Linux. Bleachbit for open source cleaning of caches is available for both Linux and Window$, and I think they've been working on a Mac version. And, it never hurts to wipe Swap and RAM every once in a while. Cover your webcam if you don't use it. Skype is a convenient trap. If you only need one-on-one calling, use a Tox client. It's encrypted and is available for just about everything, including phones, and supports video, vocal, text, and file sharing. It connects to a server like a switchboard and then it's all p2p from there. Only mentioning this because I read somewhere that Signal and Telegram where compromised. WhatsApp, the Facebook owned version, should of been a given. Duh. As far as web browsing is concerned, NoScript, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, and uBlock Origin. Block and uninstall Flash if you can. Most things are HTML5/MP4 these days anyway. DO NOT USE CHROME. Google digitally fingerprints everyone. Chromium with a user agent spoofer addon is a good alternative. Firefox is still the best though.;P Not everything mentioned is fool proof, but they are tools available to most OS's and people need to start being more proactive in their computing defense. You may not have anything to hide, but "probable cause" is incredibly vague these days, and it'll get worse because of this. https://theouterlinux.com/priv... if anyone is interested. I need to add more stuff.
$100 or less, 2-4 GB of RAM, WiFi AND Ethernet, and AMD or x86 option. That's about the only way it will work. Otherwise, your better off building your own Raspberry Pi laptop. 7" touch screens for them are only ~$20-$30. The Pi is about $35. A keyboard with trackpad about $15. An ok web cam about $15. Power supply about $10. You could use a USB battery life extender to make it more "laptopish." They even have solar chargeable ones for $20 now.
Geany (Linux/Mac/Window$) is a lot better than Notepad++ anyway. And guess who doesn't use dll's? Unix. Stop with the Window$ already. Linux is free and other than video games and deliberately installed spyware, it does everything Window$ does. And for anyone that's tried Linux and had problems, it's because of all the 64-bit Qt eye candy running on a motherboard that just a few years ago, was impossible to install anything else but Window$ or ChromeOS on and they both did it on purpose. If your computer came with Windows 7 or earlier or any MacBook, it'll run Linux just fine. If you're a graphics gaming weirdo trying to hack your card, what you break or crash out of impatience is your own fault. I dare anyone to tell me what Window$ does better, besides video games (duh). And even then, that's really a Direct issue. OpenGL has come a long way. Though, be aware that Visual Basic is now available for Linux, as well as Unreal Engine. Both Game Maker Studio and Unity3D export to Ubuntu (64-bit). Daz Studio and Office 2013 run via WINE on Linux as well. There's not a whole lot it can't do, it's just there's not as much money in developing for Linux at the moment unless you do server work. Linux and open source software have a lot more documentation too.
I've never have a problem with open source software until I use it on something other than Linux. I wish Inkscape would ditch X11 (Quartz) already. Even OBS Studio runs better on Linux (needs OpenGL 3+) than on MacOS. Having that said though I built a custom Linux distro and have the latest versions of mentioned open source software (~3GB ISO actually) running on a 2008 MacBook and on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 (can't remember the year it came out) just beautifully. It's OpenSUSE 13.2, 32-bit based, but it'll run kernel 4.10, even PAE for 4+ GB RAM if you know what repo to use. So, if Linux is making my 9 year old computer run like new, I don't see the benefit of running Window$. We've got WINE now anyway and it runs Office 2013 just fine if you absolutely must have it. I think Micro$oft is just trying to get ahold of government money because if something breaks, and it will, they will always have licensed IT guys with jobs around the clock. That's why I always laugh when I see "Micro$oft created blah blah many jobs in so in so year." Of they did. If everyone used Unix-based OS's, IT would be cut in half, at least.
Make sure the programmers add comments to each section that does different things, especially when collaborating. Nothing worse than editing a script file and then another guy changes a bunch of variables with no explanation. Also, have a debugger handy as soon as possible. Even if you're using something like Bash, Python, Java, make sure to have it echo or print out variables as it runs. You can use a special comment like "#DebugEcho" beside them to find and clear them out latter. Also, GitHub is the king of collaboration. I think private projects cost money, but are free to students. I got an account, but it's been a while since I signed up. I did it originally for the free Unreal Engine. And for the love of god Githubbers, please include a configure file for source compiling. I'm sick of getting M4 errors trying to make one. I guess another point to touch on is to test your code on as many platforms as possible. Not all Linux behaves the same if that's your target. If it's not, don't talk me. Hahaha....
Or they gave them something they've been working on that looks like a patch, but is a unfixable root kit. Honestly, unless it's something we can all look at to know for sure there's no backdoor, it's crap. Linux, Linus, and Lynis are all you need to know. When they say Linux, I honestly think they mean Android and are generalizing. For goodness sake, Google knew about Dirty Cow but didn't fix it until December 2016.
Unless your smart enough like me to make your own distro. I've got PAE version of kernel 4.10 running just fine on a 2008 MacBook and a 2010 Acer Aspire One ZG5. I can't help that there are 64-bit, eye candy dummies out there in the world. No crashes after updates. Sounds like and Ubuntu problem.
Do they not realize this affects them too? I take it that the Muslim witch hunt isn't going so well so everyone must suffer. No WMD? More troops. No Muslims to harass? Go after everyone. How is this party still around? Surely their old tobacco and cotton money would of run out by now...Or, maybe they know since they hold the majority, they'll use this to wipe out Democrats and anyone else they don't like. Everyone has something that can be used as black mail.
I like it because you can use it for more than just passwords. You can store bookmarks and files in it too. I don't trust bookmark sync. I'd never use browser extensions for sensitive information because that info is only as secure as the weakest link, be it the extension or web browser. I also never use a cloud service to store the database files. Surely if something is important, you can remember a single password and where you keep a flash drive. KeePassX also allows the use of key files as a password. You can have it as both so if the password is compromised, they still need the file. This way, you can use a cloud service but it will only open on your computer. You could also keep them on separate services. What I do is create a dummy KeePassX database and key file and edit it with more random string stuff and then create the real KeePassX database and use the edited key file from before. It's only 44 characters long if you don't. 4096 that sucker! You could maybe also use Steganography to hide the key file within the icon of the database file if separate cloud storage is too much.
When working, unplug the router, Airport your phones, and turn off your Bluetooth on the computer. Turn off any IoT devices. Do not use wireless keyboards or mouse. Buy a faraday phone bag on Amazon because iPhones never fully turn off. Some refrigerators work too if you don't want a paper trail. They make software that you can use to scan for radio signals, which is what wifi and Bluetooth are, just to be sure. Keep one original copy (for emergencies) of the file on one flash drive and the modified, edited one on another. When satisfied, boot up a light version of Linux. Use the Linux OS in Live session from a CD to use GParted to format the flash drives. They also make tools such as "shred" and "srm" to wipe and load zeros as many times as you want for a file to prevent recovery. Though to make things easier, Windows 10 will run on VirtualBox with Linux as the main OS. If the Linux machine isn't connected, than neither is Windows in this case. If there's a trial period, you can just save your VirtualBox session as a snapshot after setting the Windows install. When it comes time for the trial to be over, just keep loading the saved snapshot and open the files you need from a flash drive. I've never used Windows 10 (or will ever), but this method definitely worked when I needed Windows 7 because some software devs are dumbasses. Also, Linux has software called WINE to run Windows applications that works well enough to run Office 2013 and some modern games (PlayOnLinux). There is also another way to run Windows apps via ReactOS. It's like Windows but open source, except for real open source. The developers are really friendly if you have any questions. Everyone needs a tin foil hat plan whether you think you need it or not. Future wars will be cyber wars and no smart person fights with a dirty gun.
You'd think people would learn by now...Buy a decent computer, wipe it out, and install Linux. Everything they build is spyware anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to implement the AI they've been working on in someway and it cause every popular communication service they have to crash. Think about that. Out of everything else they do, those platforms crash. Damn you Cortona and you're thirst for gossip! (Shakes fist) Women drivers!...Imagine what happens when that AI gets "sick" and everyone blindly keeps being sucked into Mucro$oft's cloud computing plans. Jesus...
Linux would be king if all software were crossplatform and most of the software would then become open source. Garageband and iMessages are the only things keeping me from moving completely away from Apple. Microsoft only has the video game advantage so if Linux had the same titles available, why bother giving up my privacy and freedom of customization if I don't have to? And then for arguements sake, let's analyze the companies as a whole. Mico$oft and Apple don't hold a candle to Linux in the 503c Non Profit market. If it comes down to picking a platform known for generosity and a community that actual works together and each has a say in things, Linux also wins. Hell, White Hat or Black, Linux already is the OS of choice regardless of the hypothetical world proposed. That should tell you something in itself. Most servers also run Linux. And another thing, I honestly don't understand why the U.S. Government uses Window$ unless Cortona has dirt on everyone. It's bad when the FBI directors cover their own webcams. Matter of fact, Linux is NEVER in the news. You know why? Privacy. Security. No backdoors. Even if software were all crossplatform, the cores and kernels of the "Big Three" would still have to be different enough to hold patent rights, except Linux doesn't use such proprietary garbage and allows everyone to look at and improve the code. Think community watch of diehard nerd rednecks vs. mall security guards that need the extra cash. The uniform is nice, but I'd feel safer around the guy with a fishhook in his hat. Weird analogy, but most of us Linux users are just as passionate about being a Linux user as the typical redneck is about being redneck and we don't like people pretending to have authority (Window$ and Mac) all that much and it is sickening to see everyone convinced that they have to use them. Literally, people would still choose one or the other over Linux because of fear and ignorance they'd both have to spread to stay on top. "Gotta have windows to be a good business." Gotta have a Mac to be creative." Bullshit. I've used Linux long enough to know better.
They will have SSL built in by 3.1 though, rather than as a plugin; though, not sure how advanced it will be. I think the dpi info for it is somewhere in here: http://www.dillo.org/dpi1.html. In all fairness, I can't get --enable-ssl to work on my Macbook, but that may be an OpenSSL issue. So, I've got HTTPS and HTTP working on Linux, but no HTTPS on my Mac. It's got a few bugs, but it opens instantly and works perfect for looking up information really quick. Using Ctrl+s to search Duckduckgo has issues; you gotta hit the search button on the page itself afterwards. But, they told me they have a fix for it in the next release, so fingers crossed. Wish they would fix webpage copy and pasting; only copy and pasting in the url works, though if there's something I really need that badly, I open the url with midori. I've been told about webkit bugs and exploits, but for what I need it for, who cares. I only use Firefox for heavy work or signing into things.
All this is going to be used for when it's all over is to turn all of us into individual, walking RFID chips. Pair it with AI to average out signals, and it'll be easy.
Pale Moon browser? It's basically the same as Firefox before the 64-bit eye-candy nazis got ahold of it. It's really fast too. 'Member?ðY (South Park joke).
Dillo or W3M are the fastest web browsers. Dillo is a GUI web browser with only HTML/PHP (not sure about ASPX) & CSS, SSL support, cookies (change Dillo config file), and a simple wget GUI interface as its download manager. It does incredibly well for going to websites you don't need to view videos on. I even got it running on my Mac (couldn't get SSL support to compile). W3M is a web browser that runs in a command line and some terminals (not all) support w3m-img so even images can be shown as the background of the terminal. So, if it's only speed you're worried about, then this is all wrong. He didn't even look at Min or Midori. This review is great for cross-platform, but not if the main focus is for Linux users. He didn't even look at Chromium.

Use the Linux OS in Live session from a CD to use GParted to format the flash drives. They also make tools such as "shred" and "srm" to wipe and load zeros as many times as you want for a file to prevent recovery. Though to make things easier, Windows 10 will run on VirtualBox with Linux as the main OS. If the Linux machine isn't connected, than neither is Windows in this case. If there's a trial period, you can just save your VirtualBox session as a snapshot after setting the Windows install. When it comes time for the trial to be over, just keep loading the saved snapshot and open the files you need from a flash drive. I've never used Windows 10 (or will ever), but this method definitely worked when I needed Windows 7 because some software devs are dumbasses. Also, Linux has software called WINE to run Windows applications that works well enough to run Office 2013 and some modern games (PlayOnLinux). There is also another way to run Windows apps via ReactOS. It's like Windows but open source, except for real open source. The developers are really friendly if you have any questions. Everyone needs a tin foil hat plan whether you think you need it or not. Future wars will be cyber wars and no smart person fights with a dirty gun.
You'd think people would learn by now...Buy a decent computer, wipe it out, and install Linux. Everything they build is spyware anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to implement the AI they've been working on in someway and it cause every popular communication service they have to crash. Think about that. Out of everything else they do, those platforms crash. Damn you Cortona and you're thirst for gossip! (Shakes fist) Women drivers!...Imagine what happens when that AI gets "sick" and everyone blindly keeps being sucked into Mucro$oft's cloud computing plans. Jesus...
Linux would be king if all software were crossplatform and most of the software would then become open source. Garageband and iMessages are the only things keeping me from moving completely away from Apple. Microsoft only has the video game advantage so if Linux had the same titles available, why bother giving up my privacy and freedom of customization if I don't have to? And then for arguements sake, let's analyze the companies as a whole. Mico$oft and Apple don't hold a candle to Linux in the 503c Non Profit market. If it comes down to picking a platform known for generosity and a community that actual works together and each has a say in things, Linux also wins. Hell, White Hat or Black, Linux already is the OS of choice regardless of the hypothetical world proposed. That should tell you something in itself. Most servers also run Linux. And another thing, I honestly don't understand why the U.S. Government uses Window$ unless Cortona has dirt on everyone. It's bad when the FBI directors cover their own webcams. Matter of fact, Linux is NEVER in the news. You know why? Privacy. Security. No backdoors. Even if software were all crossplatform, the cores and kernels of the "Big Three" would still have to be different enough to hold patent rights, except Linux doesn't use such proprietary garbage and allows everyone to look at and improve the code. Think community watch of diehard nerd rednecks vs. mall security guards that need the extra cash. The uniform is nice, but I'd feel safer around the guy with a fishhook in his hat. Weird analogy, but most of us Linux users are just as passionate about being a Linux user as the typical redneck is about being redneck and we don't like people pretending to have authority (Window$ and Mac) all that much and it is sickening to see everyone convinced that they have to use them. Literally, people would still choose one or the other over Linux because of fear and ignorance they'd both have to spread to stay on top. "Gotta have windows to be a good business." Gotta have a Mac to be creative." Bullshit. I've used Linux long enough to know better.
They will have SSL built in by 3.1 though, rather than as a plugin; though, not sure how advanced it will be. I think the dpi info for it is somewhere in here: http://www.dillo.org/dpi1.html. In all fairness, I can't get --enable-ssl to work on my Macbook, but that may be an OpenSSL issue. So, I've got HTTPS and HTTP working on Linux, but no HTTPS on my Mac. It's got a few bugs, but it opens instantly and works perfect for looking up information really quick. Using Ctrl+s to search Duckduckgo has issues; you gotta hit the search button on the page itself afterwards. But, they told me they have a fix for it in the next release, so fingers crossed. Wish they would fix webpage copy and pasting; only copy and pasting in the url works, though if there's something I really need that badly, I open the url with midori. I've been told about webkit bugs and exploits, but for what I need it for, who cares. I only use Firefox for heavy work or signing into things.
All this is going to be used for when it's all over is to turn all of us into individual, walking RFID chips. Pair it with AI to average out signals, and it'll be easy.
Since PHP has started supporting encryption out of the box, what about advancing that until a better language comes along?
Pale Moon browser? It's basically the same as Firefox before the 64-bit eye-candy nazis got ahold of it. It's really fast too. 'Member?ðY (South Park joke).
Never mind about Chromium. My bad.
Dillo or W3M are the fastest web browsers. Dillo is a GUI web browser with only HTML/PHP (not sure about ASPX) & CSS, SSL support, cookies (change Dillo config file), and a simple wget GUI interface as its download manager. It does incredibly well for going to websites you don't need to view videos on. I even got it running on my Mac (couldn't get SSL support to compile). W3M is a web browser that runs in a command line and some terminals (not all) support w3m-img so even images can be shown as the background of the terminal. So, if it's only speed you're worried about, then this is all wrong. He didn't even look at Min or Midori. This review is great for cross-platform, but not if the main focus is for Linux users. He didn't even look at Chromium.
