For the past week, WireGuard has had the problem that it randomly drops my VPN connection to Mullvad every five minutes and have no idea what's causing it. I used to be able to fix it buy just logging out and logging back into my PC's account, but now even that isn't solving it. I tried reinstalling WireGuard, but that only fixed it for a day.

Hydrus Network General #10 Anonymous Board volunteer 07/24/2024 (Wed) 20:55:28 No. 15721 [Reply] [Last]
This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Users can choose to download and share tags through a Public Tag Repository that now has more than 2 billion tag mappings, and advanced users may set up their own repositories just for themselves and friends. Everything is free and privacy is the first concern. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it is now easy to run the program straight from source. I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ . Hydrus is a powerful and complicated program, and it is not for everyone. If you would like to learn more, please check out the extensive help and getting started guide here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/ Previous thread >>>/hydrus/21127

So the files get sorted in the thumbnail view by clicking on the sort button above the search box, then 'namespace'. Here your newly created schemes appear. >so author, series, character, blue tags, meta tags There isn't a way to sort the way you want right now.

>>16805 Honestly, I'm not sure how NEW I am. I tried using the software at maximum 2 years back, when I built an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x and Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti PC. Not really sure what I considered difficult back then. Honestly, I was pretty content trying to figure things by myself and using a search engine for more information when needed. I think the biggest unknown was what download page to use. Was pretty confused at the time! While I did read somewhere I should stay away from using the subscriptions when starting from scratch on an author or some other tag I might want, I still do use it just for that. I think the currently most confusing part of Hydrus for me might be the bandwidth rules. Checked out the about page on a booru I import from and learned that there is a hard limit of 1000 posts per request. No idea how to put that into practice so my subscription doesn't stop entirely, because it hit a bandwidth rule. Thank you for all your hard work ^^

>>16568 >anyone knows how to create a .bat file that kills computers? Something like this?: @echo off :uji start goto uji exit What this code basically does is to open a "Command Prompt" window, hide the text output (or at least I think that's what the @echo off was for), open another console window and jump to the second line creating an infinite loop. I can confirm that it works on Windows XP, but I don't know if it still works on newer versions of Windows.

ITT we brainstorm about how to prevent unwanted influxes of newcomers that change the culture of imageboards. Preferably ones that can be implemented in a P2P way. For example: they could require a quorum of existing users to approve new users. This would probably require some sort of identity based on i.e. asymmetric crypto. But users could stay anonymous using ring signatures.

>>16716 I think both of you make pretty good points, newfags are fine, the problem is when it is artificial, none of us can legitimately look back at halfchan and say that what happened was organic, when it reaches the point of say, 2016 or 2012 /pol/ and /b/, the bannings are necessary, whereas if you look at all the bitching and moaning by oldfags before then, they were just annoyed that not everyone cared about desu dolls or duckrolling Also a good litmus test for whether any chan is good is whether it allows raids, any chan that does not allow raids is fake and gay by virtue of the fact and should be ignored completely
If you want to filter newfags just host it on i2p and ban any clearnet proxies.
A site/board culture hostile to tourists/non-integrators. I recall people being told to "lurk more" on /b/ even as recent as 2012 when I started visititg 4chan. Due to that I spent years just lurking threads and absorbing the culture.

Colombia .gov.co websites source code Anonymous 06/27/2023 (Tue) 16:31:44 No. 12449 [Reply]
Hello, this is Alpha OP, the cyber security group. If you are a member of a large corporation or a government you have most likely heard our name before, and you know for sure that we don't joke around, but Colombian gov didn't think so. After trying to help them out and offering detailed vulnerabilities report to micrositios.net the developer of most if not all Colombian governmental websites they have simply refused to respond to our emails, we have then contacted every Colombian minster warning them about the risk of using such vulnerable websites and they as well ignored all the emails. So here we are doing our responsibility - to fulfill our ultimate goal of building a more secure internet - publicly disclosing all the source code we have collected, which if analyzed is very very vulnerable. Don't blame US Colombia, we had no bad intentions, we tried to help, but you refused to listen. Link to download: https://anonfiles.com/n3L8Oby9z2/Colombia_Micrositios_Source_zip You can download the file, the directory listing is not encrypted but the files are password protected, we have spent 4 months collecting this and we need compensation for our efforts, if you are interested contact us.

How to create TOR websites Anonymous 12/04/2024 (Wed) 02:13:09 No. 16698 [Reply]
I've always been curious as to know how do people get to setup their websites on TOR and assign the .onion domain. The questions are: 1- How do people assign specific name in their supposedly random name in their website name (Check duckduckgo onion website address or protonmail or even Facebook and you'll always see their names as the first thing in their address, followed by some random characters instead of the usual one like 8chan.moe on .onion) 2- Do you necessary have to have a website on the clearnet, before assigning it to the dark web? If so, then how do people upload CP on a dark web website without any of the materials gets tracked to its original clear net IP address servers? 3- What's with the hate about Javascript and how dangerous can it exactly be to someone who uses TOR? I know that these type of questions you'd expect from a newfag, but I just decided to ask, instead of just blindly following whatever is being told. It is allowed to paste copypasta or any external materials to answer this thread here.
>>16698 1)Brute force. The .onion address must be random, because generating it is a part of the mechanism ensuring that no outsider can interfere in the site's workings. It is however possible, at the work of significant computational work, to generate a lot of such addresses until you get a few symbols at where you want them. A large organization can do that, especially since it's only done once and the address is then kept indefinitely (domain changes do happen, of course). Meanwhile picking the entire address string is not possible, or at least assumed to be so: being able to do that is in the same category as being able to break encryption of any other things, like banking systems. 2)No. You can create an .onion domain with no mirror in the clearnet. The next problem then is informing others of the address without that message being tied to you. This is why Tor has multiple sites that list .onion domains, and then sites that list those sites (since individual onions often do not enjoy 100% uptime). 3)The danger is real, the extent of it incredibly unspecified. There are specific research cases on using it to extract some information about individual users, but also similar research exists that uses pure HTML5 and so on. The danger is always the danger of being identified, but how dangerous JS specifically is, is a matter of debate with little in the way of clear answers. With that in mind, do consider what identification is: from the viewpoint of whoever tries to identify you, it is a matter of reducing the list of possibilities and concentrating their estimated probability on a single one. Information is measured in bits (as seen on any anonymity testing website): when working with binary possibilities (that is, either possible or not possible) cutting the list of possibilities in half means adding one bit of identifying information. When possibilities are assigned probabilities, the formula is more convoluted, and I'm not here to write a primer on information theory. Now, JS (and, say, HTML5) can be used to give more identifying information. Tor hides your IP, which often identifies you down to a single person or single PC, and Tor also hides some other pretty specific information, but many facts could be guessed about you from other data. For example, imagine that your browser has its time zone set to UTC+26:00, a time zone used exclusively by one Pacific island state because they do not want to have a full day of time difference between theit islands. There are probably very few browsers on the whole web with this time zone. A JS instruction sending your time zone to whichever data collecting group can be pretty identifying in this case, narrowing the question of who you are down to a very short list (the term is "anonymity set"). A browser has a lot of adjustable parameters, and a combination of enough of them can easily go all the way down to singling out exactly one person. Unless, of course, the browser is specifically designed to be used with almost entirely the same set of parameters (like Tor Browser is), and you do not change them. And that's still not all. A big thing in the "use JS to identify users" research is tracking your keyboard and mouse usage. Statistics on your pauses between keypresses seems to be quite damningly identifying if collected is large enough quantities. Same with mousestrokes. I do not know enough about research on these to give you an account, but it worries people whose opinion I do value, and so on and so forth. One additional notion to mention is pseudonimity. This is when a group collecting visitor data over many different sites (what both Google and Cloudflare do) can can be reasonably sure in stating that several visits, on maybe different sites and at maybe different times, are all done by the same person, by comparing browser data, other identifying data, and even browsing habits, without being able to out a name and a face to the visitor, besides "unknown user #1488". Tor can hide your identity, but your data, behavior, and writing style can still make you pseudo-identifiable to people, to data collection algorithms, and now to still-experimental setups using AI to analyze users. God know imageboards have enough "anons" easily recognizable by other board or thread regulars.

>>16498 "Only government is allowed to do stuff in Antarctica. No one goes there without a government permission" Well, yes and no. I worked there for a year as a contractor. The private company I worked for had a contract with the federal government to perform specific work and they hired private citizens to complete that work on a contract basis. I was not a direct government employee. There are many companies based there and each have their own networking infrastructure though I never learned if we all share the same satellite connections or if each company had their own. That said, I could so a lot on our network. I don't think I could have gotten away with having a tor exit but did used tor when I was there. Most things we could do here we could do there.
