Title: Questions regarding TAILS, Encryption and NSA
Post by: dabbagepatchkids on August 16, 2013, 07:18 pm
Hello Everyone,

Curious to know

1. how safe is it to access SR via TAILS OS? keep getting a  message saying this is sent over unencrypted channels as I log into SR via tails so i have yet to access SR through tails

2. I tried googling this but to no avail. What type of encryptions has NSA broken into? i am trying to build a computer system from ground up based on encryption and security.

Thank you for your help,
DPK

1. Have you tried searching through the Security thread?

This thread seems like a good place to start. http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=201622.0

2. Not sure you are going to find a definitive answer to this.

If you are trying to build a secure machine to access silkroad I wouldn't suggest Tails, as Tails is pretty much limited, but secure... but limited.

I would say install debian and use TOR package for all connections.

So far i know NSA hasn't broken TOR and .onion routing system otherwise SR wouldn't be here today.

Just google security and anonymity, Im sure a 30min research will open ur eyes :)

cheers.

Im by no means an expert but I believe that message is default. Not actually easily viewable by a third party. As far as building a system from the ground up checkout the security thread and hit up comsec on here. That guy is a true expert on security in my opinion.
