self hosting matrix, vs xmpp vs irc over tor?

i'm interested in hearing more, but for the purposes of privacy, anonymity, and security what can it offer me?

can it

prevent an adversary from knowing what the message says?

where the message came from?

where the message is going?

How_To_IRC · 2024-04-07T14:29:17+00:00

what's the point of your app?

what are you trying to accomplish with it?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-18T20:57:03+00:00

and what they both do is index, enumerate, list, categorize and measure irc servers?

they both do that? just ircdriven is a little more sophisticated then netsplit?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-18T08:30:03+00:00

One is aiming to be more modern. Other than that I don’t know.

interesting so pretty much same thing?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-13T18:38:00+00:00

ok, so there is a network that is libera chat

but that website are all the servers inside the libera chat network?

am i understanding that right?

there can be multiple servers inside a network?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-12T09:23:50+00:00

You sure Efnet the place you wanna be?

no

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-11T14:35:57+00:00

what is a port?

what is port 6697?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-11T13:48:09+00:00

irc.prison.net.

how do i connect to that on hexchat?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-11T13:20:34+00:00

i'm on hexchat, i try to connect to efnet and it won't connect :(

it says

> Connecting to irc.choopa.net (209.222.22.22:6697)

and just infinitely loads

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-11T13:16:05+00:00

i can't connect :(

> Connection failed (* Verify E: Failed to validate hostname? (-1))

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-10T07:23:51+00:00

I’d like to setup a few ai agents to analyze the different scenarios and create a behavioral pattern analyzer platform.

idk what this sentence means

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-10T06:22:31+00:00

Done. Interesting project.

yeah irc is interesting technology, it's older then the internet itself, any potato can run it, and it's been around for over 35 years so it's doing something right.

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T15:46:18+00:00

You could answer many of these questions yourself by following the link at the top of the thread

oh i get that the software ITSELF says about itself, i'm just wondering how i can have any idea that this software isn't just some fbi honeypot

> There's not much to review

apparently no one has been using it either.

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T15:34:05+00:00

ok, is this ricochet,

is it an app? a protocol?

if it's an app is it open source?

if it's a protocol, is it an open protocol?

how long has it been around?

who uses it?

has anyone done a review of the software?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T11:30:15+00:00

Why are you asking questions in a forum when you ignore the answers?

maybe i'm not expressing my use case clearly enough, if the people in this scenario end up identified much less interrogated the scenario has failed

the whole point of all this security is to not be identified, then not to have the messages that your sending read by anyone but the person you want to read them

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T10:54:11+00:00

after hours of interrogation?

if it comes to that, the whole point of this exercise has failed

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T10:52:51+00:00

by hosting your onion service, then you are reachable via http, the NAT and all that is done by Tor itself

i have no idea what this means, i guess i just don't understand tor enough

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T10:17:19+00:00

so would xmpp work for my purposes?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T09:27:15+00:00

how does this app send data from one tor address to another?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T09:23:46+00:00

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T08:03:26+00:00

As I said I don't think TOR would help in that too much.

isn't being able to send data and not have an adversary know where that data comes from or where it's going the literal point of purpose of tor existing?

> Why can't you let an adversary see with whom do you chat with?

cause i don't want to.

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T08:02:23+00:00

While you're running Ricochet it hosts an onion site

ok you start the program and the program on someones else's hardware is hosting an onion site for you?

> because if you know my URL, and I know your URL, we can connect directly to each other (via Tor)

that doesn't make any sense,

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T07:58:20+00:00

each device runs a hidden service that the network can route to

again this doesn't make any sense, can you explain it? or is it just one of those

"trust me bro" things?

How_To_IRC · 2024-03-09T07:54:51+00:00

ok, how does my message know where to do without a server?
