Hi
Darkdik
Dude
Darkdik
RetroShare sounds fucking amazing!
Darkdik
There's even RetroChess xD
`
RetroChess as plugin.
Darkdik
Oh
Darkdik
Plugins sound dangerous
Darkdik
Is chatting E2EE, too?
Darkdik
It says that mail is, but not for messages
Darkdik
At least on the home page
Xeha
direct chat to people? yes
Xeha
there's also group chats
Darkdik
So if I message someone and give them government secrets(as an example) - we safe?
Xeha
i'd recommend you create a unlinked/anonymous identity in RS before that, so the other person wont know from which node it is
Darkdik
o.o
Darkdik
Oh like a separate tunnel?
Darkdik
Like the web-site recommends?
Xeha
no, you get a identity with your node. but that one is obviously linked
Xeha
you can have multiple identities. theres also unlinked/anonymous ones (not signed by your node GPG key)
Xeha
those become "distant identities" for others, they wont know on which node the identity is on
Darkdik
Obviously. So like a Guard relay in Tor circuits that remains the same for a longs time?
Darkdik
That is great
Darkdik
Is there some documentation or something like that?
Darkdik
on that
Darkdik
I'd like to know more.. I'd rather secure myself, then do shit, as opposed to doing shit and being stupid, then learning of your mistakes in prison or something xD
Darkdik
Wtf, a retroshare link??
Darkdik
But that's I2P specific, no?
Xeha
no
Darkdik
0.o
Darkdik
You were talking about RetroShar?
Xeha
yes
Darkdik
Huh?
Xeha
WE were talking about retroshare :D
Darkdik
Does I2P not have such things?
Darkdik
I know ;(
`
I2P is router.
Xeha
in i2p you can create server/client tunnels
Xeha
when you install RS, i recommend you dont use the automatic SAM/BOB variant
Xeha
and dont use java i2p, its slow and painful :D
Xeha
RS can use clearnet, Tor or I2P as transport. With a bit of hacks even other networks
Xeha
The winblows RS even bundles tor by default AFAIK (cant confirm)
Darkdik
SAM/BOB VARIANT? XD
Darkdik
I use C++
Darkdik
I do not use spyware
Darkdik
No matter what software you use on Spysoft Shit-wins - you cannot be secure
Darkdik
The "hacks" worry me a little
Xeha
no, SAM/BOB < i2p APIs
Xeha
when you configure RS for hidden service, you can either create the server tunnel manually (preferable) or with that shitty and broken automatic one
Xeha
i dont have winblows
Darkdik
And the shitty and broken automatic ones are - SAM/BOB ?
Darkdik
The APIs
Darkdik
?
Xeha
no, the RS implementation that is using them is broken/sucks
Xeha
hence -> configure your hidden host manually
Darkdik
Is that auto-thing ON by default?
Darkdik
If not - I just won't enable it and create my shit manually (prefered - you get to know more, and knowledge is mostly good to have)
Xeha
when creating RS node, choose manual hidden
Darkdik
Oky
Darkdik
Thanks
Darkdik
> RetroShare birngs two ways fo transferring files: * direct file transfers from your friends * distant anonymous tunneled transfers
Darkdik
So the 1st option is dangerous - not anonymous?
Darkdik
Since in the 2nd option anonymity is exclusively specified?
Darkdik
oh
Darkdik
> <Xeha> you can have multiple identities. theres also unlinked/anonymous ones (not signed by your node GPG key)
Darkdik
<Xeha> those become "distant identities" for others, they wont know on which node the identity is on
Darkdik
I guess this
Xeha
direct file transfer are faster. so if people dont know who you are on RS; its fine. all they see is that YOU are downloading X file from them
Darkdik
But if it is something illegal - gov can get you
Darkdik
Correct?
Darkdik
Or do you mean directly peer-to-a-peer instead of going trough other peers? 0.o
