Agreed! Especially if you have an old phone laying around collecting dust

Yep!

Simplex does check alot of those boxes… but smp traffic is easily identifiable unless your jumping through the major hoops of establishing a totally anonymous proxy.

An encoded message on a pastebin through tor. Congratulations, you’ve entered pedophile/terrorist level security realm.

Thats to bad being anonymous and secure puts you in that category. It shouldn’t!

You make good points and I can’t provide any documentation. But the documentation won’t exist. It would be the closest guarded secret of all time. NSA only holds the upper hand if everyone thinks it’s secure. If the secret was out that that they could crack it no one would use it and the advantage is lost.

AES256 was broken the day it was released change my mind.

People dont realize that you may as well hand over your social security number when you pass out your phone number.

New accounts on reddit are heavily restricted making it impossible to share things so I left. Found Lemmy by accident. Instantly way better community and low barrier to contribute has me hereforawhile.

My bad, from my point of view it shared the description when I shared the link but I guess not everyone sees that.

Ok,

Here is a more polished version with MIT license.

Improvements

-User counts

-Connection Status Indicator

-Ability to turn on persistent rooms. By default, the server only relays in real time. /persist turns on chat logs. The server then stores encrypted messages and users can chat asynchronously.

-Rotating onion address and keeping existing onion now work correctly. If you rotate a onion address, since encryption keys are partially derived from the onion address, the client will be unable to decrypt messages even if the same password is used.

-filter command can be used to bootstrap private rooms in a scenario where multiple people want to use the same server, yet chat privately. All it does is filter out messages that it can’t decrypt because it has the wrong password.

-Got rid of ncurses set up menus to slim down the script a bit.

-Removed redundant server manager commands and now only list two. Quit and Quit and Flush (this deletes everything in the server directory except persistent chat logs if they were turned on)

New UI

Example of Encrypted Chat Logs on Server Side

I noticed some of my devices during testing wouldn’t connect without hosting a server in a seperate instance. I’m not sure why this is happening but if you can’t connect, try to host a server and then connect to another host. This seemed to fix the issue.

Yes that’s a good disclaimer. I dont own or maintain this list so some tools may be out of date, compromised, or just not the latest and greatest option.

That good practice for any list you find online.

One of my favorites in this collection is the hitchhikers guide. Very in depth with tons of sources.

There is good traction on the federal lawsuit in Norfolk. Your absolutely right this is a bipartisan issue. It will set huge precident if IJ wins the case. At the very least, LEO needs warrants to use the system. Right now it’s the wild west.

IJ posts updates of the case here. They have already tried to derail the lawsuit multiple times but they have been able to push through all the appeals thus far so it can actual go to a jury trial.

That’s a pretty big sandbox if you can host a web application from it though. It’s really not that restricted but there are compatibility issues so you find your self rebuilding primitives to make things work.

I think the next think I want to make is a notes/word processing web app. There is a pretty good use case to be to able to connect and process documents from a private server on any machine.

What a weird turn of events this is the festival that scammed everyone?

I stumbled upon it by by accident when trying to share. I remembered file.io was a quick account free way to share a files but now when you upload limewire takes over.

Thankyou that’s really helpful 👍

Yes termux is the webserver here and the client is the web browser now. This simplifies the use case scenario alot since most devices have a browser.

This is exactly why I started tinkering with termux…lots of old devices that I want to put to use that just collect dust.

I thought about it but it’s not worth tieing accounts together to me and I don’t wanna make throwaway accounts just to share.

To small of scale I’m just messing around is the short answer.

Usage is commented at the start of the script. Just save it, chmod, run it and it spins it self right up.

What are the downsides of sharing code with no license?

Cloudflared CLI for reverse proxy is as dummy proof as hosting a hidden onion site over Tor. I like it’s simplicity but I know I’m relying on a non free network.
