Comment Try Tor and exclude US/US friendly exit nodes (Score 2) 256

With all the uproar over US spying, you could always use a Tor solution that excludes US and US intelligence friendly exit nodes. PAPARouter (disclaimer: my company) is a router that has Tor in it and US and US friendly exit nodes are excluded (US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and all Commonwealth countries) by default. Anonymize several devices just hooking to the wireless access point. (Or build your own Onion-Pi from Adafruit and save a couple of bucks)

Comment Have you thought about a Tor router instead? (Score 1) 1

Given that the FBI and other feds have taken a keen interest in exploiting the browser bundle, you could consider using a Tor router like PAPARouter. You can anonymize several devices easily and PAPARouter excludes exit nodes in the US, and all the US intelligence friendly countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand, and all the Commonwealth countries) by default.

i_want_you_to_throw_ writes: Riding on the Acela express train between New York and Washington, DC, Hayden had the bad luck of sitting near entrepreneur and former MoveOn.org director Tom Matzzie. “Former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden on Acela behind me blabbing ‘on background as a former senior admin official’,” Matzzie wrote on his Twitter account. “Sounds defensive.” For the next twenty minutes, Mattzie continued to livetweet Hayden’s conversations slamming the Obama administration, all the while insisting that he be referred to only on background.

Submission + - Arrest the GOP leadership for sedition? 2

i_want_you_to_throw_ writes: Yes, that very idea is being floated now. You can see (and sign if you're so inclined) the petition at MoveOn.org. The law was passed by Congress, signed by the President and then ruled constitutional by SCOTUS. The idea is that the House GOP leadership's use of the Hastert Rule and H. Res 368 to shut down the government and threaten the US economy with default was an attempt to extort the United States government into altering or abolishing the Affordable Care Act, and was thus, self-evidently a seditious conspiracy.

Submission + - How FBI caught Ross Ulbricht, alleged creator of criminal marketplace Silk Road (cnn.com)

Submitted by i_want_you_to_throw_
i_want_you_to_throw_ writes: CNN reports that the FBI caught the man accused of creating Silk Road — the shadowy e-commerce site it describes as "the most sophisticated and extensive criminal marketplace on the Internet today" — after he allegedly posted his Gmail address online, according to court documents.
It appears he was nailed by not completely covering his own tracks as opposed to any failure of the technology.

This isn't news. You can already do this by buying the kit from adafruit.com or by buying one already built at PAPARouter.com(It's in the .sig). In short, Raspberry Pi + Debian + Tor. If you're browsing, make sure to use https everywhere.

He must be really tired from trying to stay relevant.
