And hell yea, we know your there. Its way more obvious than you may think. Now, the best way to be a teen on these things, is to stay silent. Its called lurking. You observe this sub for maybe 6 months, just to see what exactly can happen in the dark world in that time. Which will probably be a lot of shit. That just how it is now a'days. But lurk on here. Don't post. Let others post for you, and learn the ways of the wize, like pgp... don't ever skip it. That is the only thing keeping you safe. Anyone who hasnt used it, is most likely to become a target for LE in the future. Now, the mindset of LE now, is to recover as much as possible, get the culps later. Well guess what? That recovery part, is where PGP saves your ass. Think about it like this. To stay protected from the cold, you wear mutliple layers of clothing. To stay protected from LE, use multiple layers of security. That what gets them. Thats the time waster. So if you really wanted to fuck with LE, you could encrypt a PGP encrypted message again, with pgp! Thats double layers. Double time. 1/2 the casualties. Oh and if you think there is a protection technology that will never be cracked by LE, your stupid. Everyone, and holy shit, I mean everyone who has been here since 2011 will tell you, we never even guessed that the FBI was trying. We all guessed LE was too stupid, and thought the tor technology too superior. Well, LE will crack it. No matter what it is, they can do it. Final verdict, you're never going to get away with everything. But you high schoolers got too fuckin much shit to experience before you get thrown in jail for conspiracy or some shit. Basically, don't get your self into something you can't get out of. Stay safe. AND GO THE FUCK TO CLASS!
Encrypting a message with the same public key twice doesn't actually add security as far as I'm aware. If the private key was, through some amazing technology, factored from the public key, then they could decrypt the second layer of encryption with no added effort.
Yes, everybody knew LE was trying to get the markets taken down, and yes, everybody knew LE was trying to break encryption algorithms such as RSA and PGP, and yes, everybody knows LE is smart. I'm sort of amazed you didn't realize these things.
And finally OP, you should really stop condescending to people in this sub. When I was in high school I had a pretty full understanding of how PGP worked, and I'm sure there are 30-something year olds on here who still don't understand it at all. Addressing "high schoolers" as a high risk group and assuming none of them know anything is silly.
