    Lanny, did you just add PGP-support to NIS or this is old?

    Thanks, I'd like to see people exchange keys even if they don't want to sign all their posts, that way they at least have the option of encrypting their PMs if they don't feel like letting me snoop on them. Although the majority of folks don't seem to care, which is disappointing on the "made a feature people don't use a lot" level but more on the "we live in a society that's rolled over and surrendered privacy" level.

    Have you ever thinked about mirroring NIS to a .onion domain?

    I haven't. I know some organizations do that, but what's the point if you also run a clearnet site? The clearnet side can be traced back to me easily so the mirror doesn't offer me any protection. Tor users (with some initial struggles vis a vis captchas, admittedly) can post on the clearnet site with the same level of anonymity as the .onion domain. What's the upside to it?

    That said, ISS was designed with consideration to running it over TOR, it should work pretty well for that purpose given it optimizes for request counts/network efficiency pretty aggressively and treats no-js users as first class citizens. In case anyone wanted to set up a darknet forum it might be one of the best pieces of software in the world to do it with (you would be amazed at the scarcity software that ignores the fact that legitimate users can disable javascript) but I've just never really seen the benefit in the mirroring approach.

    the only major weaknesses in tor are to do with the way exit nodes are handled; tor users are much safer accessing a hidden service than exiting to the internet and accessing a clear service


    it really doesn't make any difference here, just saying

    when I was doing php dev work I had that 'discussion' with the boss - none of their websites worked at all without javascript and he just could not understand that some people prefer to turn it off

    How so? If you access a site via HTTPS it shouldn't matter as the exit node won't be able to snoop on the traffic any more than the last node in a route to a hidden service. HTTPS works through TOR right?

    Yeah, it's a hard sell to management. I mean hell, it's even a hard sell to web developers trained in the last 5~10 years. I guess if your job boils down to peddling features that don't work or cost more to implement without javascript it behooves you to pretend like people who choose not to use it, or can't use it, just don't exist and to spread that same ignorance as widely as possible.

    timing and circuit forcing attacks mostly, injecting fake ssl certs is possible but should be obvious to anyone not retarded

    the concern with using exit nodes is more with the owners being able to determine the originating IP
