VPN/TOR Block Bypassing Anonymous 04/10/21 (Sat) 14:31:06 No.7759 [Reply]

Hello tech, does anyone here know of a way to bypass public VPN/TOR blocks, such as those used on 4chan and wikipedia? It must be technically possible no? Any other anonymizing software that might not be blocked?

Anonymous 04/10/21 (Sat) 18:19:38 No.7762

>>7759
I don't think so unless there are brand new tor exit nodes no where knows about.

4chan probably blocks all datacenter IPs so its not like you can even roll your own either. Maybe with an IPv6 address though? The address space is probably large enough so they can't do that

II believe SOCKS5 proxies are banned on wikipedia if I am not mistaken, not aware of their feasibility elsewhere. Would a tor bridge work perhaps?

A Tor bridge? Like Meek Azure or Obfs4? Those are for disguising you at the entry node, not the exit node.

If you actually want to learn Linux, go for Gentoo or at least arch, and do as much through terminal as possible. I recommend a tiling window manager. They're honestly the absolute shit once you get used to them.

This is not true, you have to provide the source code to the users of the binaries, but you don't have to send your changes upstream or make them public.

Electrical Engineering / Learning Hardware Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:44:09 No.336 [Reply]

I'm looking for recommendations on resources, learning materials, or general advice when it comes to learning about electrical engineering. Books, videos, MIT courses, you name it. I'm open to starting with the absolute basics from Physics 101, which I admittedly have not brushed up on in a while.

In addition, I'm also interested in tinkering with hardware as part of the learning process, so any advice on that front would be greatly appreciated.

Electrical Engineering isn't what most people think of it anymore. Try to learn about digital design and learn a HDL like Verilog or VHDL. Buy a cheap FPGA board and tinker with it by writing designs for it.

You can dowload vivado from Xilinx for free if you take an older version.

Tor hidden services Anonymous 04/16/21 (Fri) 06:35:42 No.7850 [Reply]

Know some good shit on Tor? Let us know. Whether it be substitutes for clearnet services, or just the .onion domain for whatever, or just something cool.

Hidden service for snopyta.org
Basically an index of their services, and about half of them have a hidden service through Tor. I prefer the Invidious instance I linked before, but theirs probably works just as well if not better if you don't want to sign up for an account to keep a subscriptions list. The Invidious instance I linked before had registration while Snopyta's didn't when I checked.

Seizing the Means of Anonymous Discussion Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:44:31 No.564 [Reply]

Recent events have once again highlighted the necessity of a truly communal, self-governed anonymous discussion forum. This thread is for the development of new forms of decentralized anonymous image boards.

The problem in need of a solution is this: [b]How can we develop a forum that genuinely empowers its community and allows them to resist censorship?[/b]

One recent attempt is NNTPChan/Overchan. NNTPChan is a decentralized imageboard that uses the NNTP protocol (network-news transfer protocol) to synchronize content between many different servers. It utilizes cryptographically-signed posts to perform optional/opt-in decentralized moderation. I'm still rather confused on how moderation works there myself.

This seems like a great idea, by distributing a forum across a collection of servers one can resist the disruption of any single server. When 8ch was shutdown by its DDoS provider, however, its community didn't find the motivation to learn from this and migrate to a censorship-resistance platform. Instead its subcommunities were scattered to the winds, the ones that survived coalescing back on a number of individual websites using the classical top-down server-owner structure, with all the authority and alienation from its userbase that it necessarily contains. What lessons can be learned from this? Is there more that can be done?
