«Unlike Tor, Veilid doesn't run exit nodes. Each node in the Veilid network is equal, and if the NSA wanted to snoop on Veilid users like it does on Tor users, the Feds would have to monitor the entire network, which hopefully won't be feasible, even for the No Such Agency. Rioux described it as "like Tor and IPFS had sex and produced this thing."»

Bellissima iniziativa da tenere monitorata #cultofthedeadcow #acktivism #privacy #crittografia #framework

Un gruppo di hacker vuole creare il sistema perfetto per proteggere i nostri dati https://flip.it/VXt4WA

Thanks to #lemmy I saw this article regarding #CultofTheDeadCow 's new private protocol

"members say their protocol is built from the same digital DNA as the Tor browser and the chat app Signal and will be used to create new ways for folks to communicate, share files, and generally surf the web while simultaneously protecting their privacy."

#Hacking group plans system to #encrypt #socialmedia and other apps
#CultOfTheDeadCow is a hacker collective whose members at one time included Texas politician Beto O’Rourke
#cDc is building on the work of such free products as #Signal, which offers strong encryption for text messages and voice calls, and #Tor, which offers anonymous web surfing by routing traffic through a series of servers to disguise the location of the person conducting the search.

Hacking, for me, is a form of activism to create the world I want to see, and I'm beyond honored that the #CultoftheDeadCow wanted to spotlight it. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

One of the new Mastodon people I follow mentions in her profile that she's a member of #CultOfTheDeadCow, and I was like, "Wow, I haven't heard THAT name since I was an undergrad in the '80s and getting high with the #SubGenius nerds who liked to swap pirated videotapes of #SurvivalResearchLaboratories performances"

Another interesting story from Reuters:
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-politics-beto-orourke/

"O’Rourke wasn't just a random hacker ... As a teen, he also belonged to the notorious and wildly influential Cult of the Dead Cow"
"#CultoftheDeadCow burst onto the national scene as the biggest exemplar of hacker culture in 1998, at Def Con, when the group released Back Orifice"
"The group released a more sophisticated version, forcing #Microsoft to get serious about security."
