  • DigDuality, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Took a damn bit of time to write this, but i hope people find it useful.
  • mzfluffy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Companies should pay attention to the encryption section when they send employees out to do field work.
  • cdecursus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2excellent article -- addresses an issue that could affect every US citizen (and non-citizens for that matter) in the not-so-distant future.
  • CyborgWarrior, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Very nice article. But VNC?? I dont recommend it. If you must use VNC tunnel it through SSH (have Putty installed on the hidden volume) so its encrypted well and they can't tell that your sending bitmaps through that part (which is a dead giveaway of a remote desktop application).

    Also, can anybody tell me what he means by saying that the VNC connection cannot be traced to the LAN you're on?? The TOR part he had installed was only functional in hiding the browser tracks. Unless RealVNC has some really cool feature that I haven't heard about yet I dont think this is true.

    Other than that, good article. Dugg.
  • DigDuality, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It can be traced back to the LAN you're on, I meant that they would not be able to see what you were doing on the computer you're connected to, great tip about putty/ssh though. I should've thought about that. And this may be my own ignorance, but i've never been to intercept the bitmaps and see what they are.

    Tor (if installed on the hard-drive and not just Torpark browser) is great at making IM convo's un-readable from sniffers as well, as all the traffic going through Tor is encrypted. Sending e-mail through it isn't a great idea though, as most Tor servers block port 25 on their exit policies to keep spammers out.
    • Daisuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think it can be traced back to the lan you're on, at least to the outside world. I mean, they can say there is encrypted traffic coming and going from this point, but who's to say you're not just routing it to someone else on the onion network? It's called "plausible deniablity" ("It wasn't me, I was just routing for someone else.") and is what makes networks like tor work so well. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you meant? :)
