Security / Re: GPG4USB question
« on: July 19, 2013, 02:48 pm »
My GPG4USB tutorial briefly explains that:

"Lastly, it's a good idea to back up your private key. If you lose it, you won't be able to decrypt messages and they will effectively be lost forever. Right click on your key in the right panel and select "Show Key Details". You'll see the dialog above. Click "Export Private Key" and save the file in a secure location."

The second step, not explained in the tutorial, is simply to copy the key to the other GPG4USB and import it the normal way.

exe files are for Windows. Tails is a Linux distribution. There's a program called Wine that can run some Windows programs on Linux, but generally in order to run exe files, you'll need Windows.

Security / Re: Problem while using Iceweasel on Tails 0.19
« on: July 19, 2013, 12:51 pm »
Why are you using the onion.to link? Iceweasel on Tails works with Tor, but then you're sending your connection back over clearnet to a Tor in-proxy. Remove the .to from the end.

I keep getting connection refused, previously used the client and it worked fine, ideas?

A more detailed description of your setup would be helpful.

Are you on Tails? If so, change Tor/Privacy back to Gnome default in the proxy settings.

If you're on Windows, did you set the right port? It's 9150 when using the Tor that's bundled in TBB, but 9050 for the standalone Tor.

Also, sanity check: is some copy of Tor actually running?

Then, in a move that will make Thanksgiving dinner really uncomfortable, Springer agreed to call his son while DEA agents monitored the call. The middle Springer announced that he was expecting a “package” to be delivered to his father’s residence.

And this is why I've said that hiring people to accept your packages offers zero protection. They will flip on you in an instant.

Tor Browser, not Tor. Of course they both you use Tor, but Tails uses Tor Browser, a modified version of Firefox with many anonymity and security enhancements.

Their entire transaction history is traceable. It's a thing called the block chain. Bitcoins are not anonymous by default.

You have to save someone from ODing on drugs.

BTW, why are you advertising your SR bitcoin address in your sig? Doesn't seem very smart.

Here is why you should be using Tor Browser on any operating system, rather than a regular browser (like the one on Liberte):

Which do you prefer. Tails or Liberte Linux and why?

Liberte is ostensibly more lightweight and hardened than Tails, but it hasn't been updated since September of last year, while Tails gets updated about once a month with bug fixes and new features. It implements things like obfsproxy bridge support and stream isolation, which Liberte does not. It uses Tor Browser, which is created with a set of 27 patches against Firefox, along with many changes in the default settings, to protect your anonymity and security, while Liberte uses the default Gnome browser. Overall, there are many reasons to prefer Tails over Liberte.

Glad it worked out for you! :)

Ok, I thought you might have an Nvidia or AMD graphics card. It should work well with Intel.

Yeah, not sure what to tell you. Is there any available resolution that's comfortable to work with?

Uh, the cheapest one.

644
I get it, yeah, because the screen resolution is too high. There are ways to fix it through x.org or randr, but they are complicated and you'd probably have to do it on each reboot. What kind of graphics card are you using?

645
Yes, this has been happening frequently to me.
