Freenode is interested in your security. As such, they have two hidden Tor servers available for you to use. They have actually been using the hidden servers for a while now, but they just added a new one, and the added security benefits are great!
First, aside from end-to-end encryption, which is a bonus [...]
In my last post, I mentioned how to stay anonymous on the web generally by using Tor. Here, I want to discuss how to use Tor specially with Freenode.
IRC channel ops are notorious for kicks and bans. Many reasons are called for, others are just plain silly. #okopipi on Undernet is notorious [...]
Being an advocate of security protocols and applications, I am actually quite stunned that I haven’t thought of this before. Actually, I had heard of it a while ago, but didn’t give any thought to it. Now I kind of wish I had. I am talking about Tor. However, before getting [...]

Thank you all for the last 6 years or so. It has been fun (sometimes) [...]
I am getting really frustrated with encrypting conversations between differing IM clients. Why in the world does this have to be so difficult? First, let’s talk about the principle of the matter. Then we’ll get into the nitty-gritty.
Regardless of who I am talking to, regardless of what instant messaging client I am [...]
Spammers must enjoying the relief from the very apparent strain that Blue Frog users were giving them. Well, they won’t be enjoying the relief for long. Thanks to a new startup group called Okopipi. For starters, it is peer-to-peer, de-centralized and completely open source. And the best part? DDOS attacks [...]
Blue Security is no longer fighting the war on spam. Another victory for the spammers.
So I guess I get to join the file and rank of “bend over and grab your ankles” when it comes to spam entering my inbox. Downloading filters is what to do, right? Out of sight, out of mind? Out of [...]
There seems to be a lot of miscredited information spreading around the Internet like wildfire concerning Blue Security. Although I don’t work for them, or know their inside operations personally, I would like to take the time to put many of them to rest. I will admit, that because I am not [...]
Bluesecurity is fighting the good fight. Unfortunately, the spammers are hell-bent over bringing them down. Three days ago, Bluesecurity began suffering DDoS attacks. Bluesecurity tried to wait it out, but found it wasn’t going to be letting up any time soon. They then moved their domain to the Six Apart servers hosting a Typepad blog. [...]

First, a [...]
If I am beating this topic into the ground, so be it. Sometimes, you just need to beat a dead horse, regardless.
Due to the decision of switching to Jabber exclusively, I am on the lookout for a good Jabber client for Linux. In fact, a cross-platform client for Windows and Mac OS X [...]
I am in the blogging mood today. Mainly, because I had the day off to reflect on a lot. Nothing really important. Mainly, just how I am going to clean the garage before my adoption case worker gets here to inspect our house. Needless to say, the garage is clean, and [...]
