Almost every single VPN site I’ve ever come across is just shilling referral links for the highest paying VPNs. Even the privacy sites with old good articles, their new articles for the best VPNs/most secure/ETC are all the best paying referrals.
VPNs are not good for anonymity. They are good for public networks, and stopping companies that are heavy on piracy to not send you DCMA warnings when you torrent. That’s it. If you are actually doing criminal things (or are in a country where you’re treated as a criminal) they can traffic shape and find out who you are quick. Even multihop VPN providers aren’t much better.
Funny eh? If you select show only mullvad-owned servers (pretty sure those are the only ones with encrypted RAM drives) then they’re all 5eyes and a couple other 14eyes countries. No USA though. They also disconnect constantly and are slow.
Thanks I forgot I2P had email and all the extra stuff. Do they have inproxies and outproxies or do both sender and receiver have to use the i2p service?
Most people use custodial wallets (they don’t really hold the coins) and multiple wallets have had hacks (or ““hacks””) where a lot of user funds were stolen.
I personally like
Electrum for Bitcoin
Feather for Monero
Guarda for Ethereum based coins because it allows you to generate a new address each time.
Late response, I haven’t been on this account recently…
I understand that fastboot and similar things like the hive file if that’s what it’s called (ram writes to disk) or just a very quick tool/technique for cold booting/freezing RAM, but can just have fastboot enabled, enable them to extract the decryption key from RAM or disk?
I thought VeraCrypt started before everything… like a Linux bootloader.
Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I'm not one to buy into "XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet", but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now and it seems like it should be easily found with keywords.
If anyone interested has a Twitter account, would you mind searching there for Truecrypt and Veracrypt to see what comes up? That’s the one place I haven’t looked because I don’t have an account.
