Why worry then? People are creative beings. For every govt and it's resources there are thousands working in your favour. It's a war of intellect and many take up the challenge. Not my thing anymore but I've broken a few in days of yor. Who would have thunk I could break QEMM(Quarterdeck) encryption back in the day. I did, my hobby was breaking things like that. I have an old and fading book full of shyte like that. That was simple stuff, XOR with keys and not like today's encryption. As long as you can hold out against govt torture, your data is probably safe if you use opensource encryption.

I should take some pics of it even though I have no idea now what was scribbled then.

Edit: I do know, just that the memory addresses are meaningless now. It just looks like a bunch of hex and memory addresses.



Hi Set,
I'm not worried,
I'm not doing anything wrong.
I just get annoyed at the lack of privacy.
Can't the Govt. be satisfied that they might not know everything?
It seems that we live in an Orwellian society.
Because there are some bad people then everyone must lose their privacy for the good of all.  Huh


I'm not fond of the "think of the children" excuse. Fuck the children.



LOLO - what about WhatsApp?
a supposed encrypted system that could not be broken:
https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/new-vulnerability-detected-whatsapp-allowi...


WhatsApp has been fighting with governments and law enforcement agencies that its messaging service is encrypted end-to-end and there is no way it can be intercepted or broken into. An Israeli cybersecurity firm has smashed this claim by demonstrating that not only can they intercept and decrypt a WhatsApp message but they can change the sender’s identity as well.


See what I'm saying? "there are thousands working in your favour". People love trying to break shite. This makes things better.

You know, if windows had back doors like you say the NSA would not need tools. They do and they have been leaked and used nefariously.

Be vigilant, not paranoid.

Those links tell a frightening story.
Windows and Linux are both vulnerable and have more holes then a sieve.

If you really want to test your Windows 10 64bit operating system then visit the DARK WEB and chug around the onion sites there for a while and then sit back while the onslaught begins.

A VPN is a good idea as well.

Ubuntu LINUX is now nearly as good as Windows with free software and almost immunity to virus and spyware.

UBUNTU LINUX is a full blown free file server whereas Windows 10 is really a cut down file server.

Most Web Sites use a LINUX version with Apache.
