Torstorm is currently undergoing reboot; since 2013 providing ECC-protected transparent HTTPS access to .onion sites ~ sponsored by @cryptostorm_is @cryptofree.
For those working on the #TortureFiles leak of a 1.1gb archive documenting a 15-person US animal torture ring (pics/vids identify some RL), reference image is at:

Let's keep expanding visibility of this horror!
After decades of sparring, the gloves are off now that effective crypto is functionally illegal in (Five Eyes) Australia.
This will split privacy tech providers into two discrete categories:
domesticated <-or-> wild
Middle ground will decrease monotonically towards zero.
Theremin's "Thing" is a timeless reminder that imagination & creativity deliver breakthroughs impossible to produce through application of money &/or manpower alone.
(also that clever attacks can hide in plain sight, undetected & ignored; orthogonal vectors ftw)

"Things started getting weird..."
For those who have not themselves faced the pressure of organized extra-legal persecution (be glad you haven't), this is an excellent introduction to what it entails.
For those of us who have, it's a stark reminder of what we've been through.
Network #injectionattacks are now a commodity service, using civilian DPI hardware.
As there is no systematic, ongoing, broad-view (civilian) monitoring for such attacks, actual volume is anyone's guess.
Kudos to @citizenlab for this brilliant research!

After problems at the data center and several server replacements later, we finally got a new https://t.co/L04qTYIEQs server setup. In a few hours, we'll turn auth back on at our Paris server that we were temporarily sending cryptofree users to.

A bit unsettling to see this work going down an (apparently) closed-source path: absence of process visibility, right from the start. 😑

"Google's Pixel 2 & Pixel 3 devices are running their Android Linux kernels built under the Clang compiler. With the new Pixel 3, its Clang'ed kernel is also making use of LTO & CFI." 👍
Interesting, & not obviously an evil development.
Also an inescapable indicator that #peakVPN has arrived, & that its now time for a phase-shift upgrade of the entire consumer VPN security model - top to bottom...

"In particular, additional resistance to traffic correlation via timing attacks and IP addresses are areas of ongoing development." <-- holy grail
