Quote HistoryQuoted: So OP can't back shit up. In his mind, people use Signal and the feds issued a terror alert, therefore Signal has been compromised. Truly a dizzying intellect. OP, has it ever occurred to you that it could have been something else that led to the terror warning, including nothing at all? Especially since in the very same warning the gov intentionally conflagrated the 1/6 riots with the left wing riots that have occurred over the summer and fall? Nope. I believe they do have info, but will not divulge where they got that info. If they divulge where they got the info from they will divulge a capability they do not want to be know publicly. It's a std practice to not divulge capabilities. However, they also needed to inform the public. To not inform and have an incident occur, is just as bad as Cap PD not preparing even though supposedly they knew something bad was coming. They nabbed the pipe bomber guy. I loon of sorts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Who ever said the Fed notice had in it their source of info? It's a BS notice in that context. But no doubt they have info. To be credible they must have info, which is coming out of their looking into everything/anything running over the internet. Signal is just an app that people are flocking to in groves. Follow the users, it's that simple. If I did not want to "secure" my comms, then why bother using Signal or the like? Why does ar15.com use TLS for accessing the website? Only need TLS for the login piece and maybe the profile page. TLS'ing the rest is kinda pointless. Nothing like adding pointless overhead to a computing system. They did the same thing last time they were in charge. They warned that there was threats by anti abortionists, Pro constitutionalists, Single issue voters, and conservatives...................what changed this time that you think they have something on people who use signal, when they are just after conservatives (like they were the previous 8 years before Trump), rather than concerned about real terrorism? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Unless there is a backdoor in a given application, the .gov goes not have the resources to crack any respectable encryption. Unless there's has been some sort of mind blowing leap in the encryption breaking theory, it takes more processing power than is available on the planet to brute force through encryption in any reasonable time. https://www.eetimes.com/how-secure-is-aes-against-brute-force-attacks/ A powerful enough quantum computer doesn't exist yet to tackle the problem either. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/quantum-computers-encryption-decades-researchers,38819.html A year ago, took 3min to solve a 10,000yr problem.

People should know any "encrypted privacy app" which requires key identifying information to create an account isn't private.
I would think that would be a premise even the least security aware person would know. A truly zero knowledge secure messaging app will not require, DNA samples, email addresses or phone numbers to create a user account. Think about that for a bit folks ... Then if you still need a encrypted messaging app consider Element which is powered by the block chain based Matrix , or WICKR.me neither requires anything to create an account other than having the application installed on your phone or computer. |

You all here giving CryptoKnight shit are completely missing the point...whether or not AES256 has been compromised is not something any user on this forum will have any info on (do you have nsa security clearance? Doubt you'd be on arfcom). The minute you do, then you can bet every foreign government will know and this will be big news. So stop acting like you know anything about encryption based on what you read online.
The second point most of you are missing is that it doesn't take a genius to intercept comms on ANY platform. In case you missed it "many signal employees" expressed concern about their platform being used in ways the don't like -- INTERPRETATION -- some soyboi devs want to censor and deplatform conservatives. Willing idealist dev soybois + gov money = backdoor access. If that doesn't work, there's always the XKCD wrench..they don't have to break encryption to spy on you, they just need willing developers. Assume all your comms are compromised is the only takeaway. |

IBM's response to Google's claim: " In the paper, it is argued that their device reached “quantum supremacy” and that “a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task.” We argue that an ideal simulation of the same task can be performed on a classical system in 2.5 days and with far greater fidelity. This is in fact a conservative, worst-case estimate, and we expect that with additional refinements the classical cost of the simulation can be further reduced."

The sad part about all of this? It could have all been avoided if the 1st wasn't restricted. Trust is the foundation of any government. No trust, no peace.

My take:
Some months ago, some guy in Portland used a mobile hotspot to get info/ names etc about a whole bunch of Antifa/Blm. If he could do it, the Feds were already on it. I am going to go out on a limb and say that those people shifted to secure apps. I think they could still be "tracked" by cell phone /metadata even though they might not have read every transmitted message, but through one end of a comprised phone/ location to location tracking/ cell# to Cell# tracking/metadata tracking. Jan 6, it seems everybody that's been arrested is because they selfied themselves and put it on Facebook twitter, and that's how the news put it out. I am sure that they got a few from phone taps/warrants/breaking coms. But they can't say that. So, not only did a bunch of Marxists switch, but a bunch of the right switch to signal and others. The Feds don't seem to be concerned about marixsts, but now that the right has switched, they seem to be worried. Now they will have to expose their hand to use any data. Now I think they can justify switching computer time over to watching secure app users. So basically, You can be tracked and comms aren't really secure. And this. (ldl7071) "Besides, imagine if the government had done this. The government would be able to read every piece of information the Chinese and the Russians produce, for the next decade or two (or however long it takes the rest of the planet to catch up with their magic computer). That's the kind of breakthrough that they wouldn't tip their hand on. Even if people were planning assassinations of elected officials, it's far more likely that the NSA would consider those officials expendable in order to keep their technological advantage. They aren't going to disclose that they have broken cryptography in order to arrest a guy with a 30-round magazine in New York." |

NONE of us said otherwise - anywhere in the thread ALL of us DID say that mr first post's statement of The recent National Terror Threat Warning released by the Fed comes from them analyzing comms of the Signal app. Yes, the Fed can look inside all that "weak" encrypted stuff! was a load of the sky is falling BS and to show their work - that has not happened yet. We're now 51 posts into OP's stay here and simple questions like "well, was signal encryption in transit broken in real time or is this a case of idiots not using things correctly" have not been answered.... no shit electronics are compromised no shit your phone is used against you no shit your location can be tracked 24/7 if someone wants to no shit assume all your comms are compromised NO one in this thread is arguing that what we are arguing is that mr 1 post here came in dropping shit on, what is almost universally described as one of the top "secure" (note the quotes here) messaging apps... with nothing to back it up. nothing in this NTAS bulletin says ANYTHING about what he's talking about. Saying that the feds put out a bulletin at the same time people are migrating to signal for multiple reasons (1/6, "big tech" being a bunch of cunts, whatsapp saying they'll share data with Facebook - the biggest move likely...) means that it's compromised. Could Signal be better (get rid of the phone number requirement being #1) - sure! We're all in agreement there. Are there better platforms? maybe, maybe not. The best is the one everyone uses. Are there ways to exploit secure messaging without breaking encryption? yup, sure are. Are there better ways for the govt/globois/etc to get to you, while you're using "secure" apps, than brute fucking forcing the encryption - you bet your ass. So again - for CryptoKnight to come in and try to drop "Signal bad - use flip phone" is COMPLETELY ridiculous. The thought that employees of Signal are going to backdoor an open source app and not have it noticed is also pretty laughable. Again, the number of people on Signal who fall under the target of the DHS NTAS are tiny compared to it's worldwide user base. There are easier ways to go about finding and tracking you than that (again, XKCD sums it up perfectly). and there's plenty of Maryland boys on Arf I'm sure. Just sayin' |

Quote HistoryQuoted: what percentage of statistics are made up on the spot? 3.4% Quoted: I just don't want my personal correspondence sitting on who knows whose servers in how many locations. No matter how innocuous something is, it can be used to "prove" any number of things in an upside-down world. Fuck 'em. This is the point of Signal. Take your data out of big tech as much as possible. Take it out of their spying and collection. Make it as hard as possible for the government to do the same. If the NSA has you on a target list they already have a camera watching you poop.... just saying |

I would switch back to paper but my high-school intercepted a note from a girl and it nearly got me suspended.
