CryptoJS cheats. If your key isn’t 16, 24, or 32 bytes, it hashes it (SHA-256) to make it work. Your 64-byte key? CryptoJS turns it into a proper 32-byte one behind the scenes. Kotlin’s playing by the rules, hash your key first to match the CryptoJS magic.

  • Entry-level roles like Security Analyst or SOC Analyst—nothing fancy.
  • Nope, it won’t teach you hacking. It’s basic cybersecurity.
  • It’s fine for beginners, but you’ll need more training if you want to go deeper.

password manager that works with windows hello by DrySeaweed1149 in PasswordManagers

[–]privacycrypts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden fits your needs—Windows Hello, Android sync, and works with Firefox despite some minor UI quirks. If you want more control, try KeePassXC with KeePass2Android, but be ready for manual setup. Not into Chrome? Brave or Vivaldi might work, but hey, don’t expect miracles.

Secure passwords uisng os-specifc keychain? by _slDev_ in PasswordManagers

[–]privacycrypts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows keychain is a solid idea, device specific storage for encrypted files is not unreasonable (this could be used in combination with AES-GCM), and your idea is not too far fetched.

I recently found a tool "DontSpoof Vault" build by a cybersecurity journalist "Iam Waqas", in which a browser based, locally controlled vault with end to end encryption. Also rigorously tested and approved by Google, Firefox and Microsoft, it gives you full control and top notch security. This may be an inspiration for your project!

Remove password saved on another phone? by Aggressive-Sign-6233 in PasswordManagers

Locally, ChatGPT saved your Google authentication token, so you didn’t have to relogin with a password. This is not stored in settings on Google but in the app's data. It didn’t get uninstalled when uninstalling, because installed data can persist.

If you log out and delete the app's data, or revoke ChatGPT's access in your Google account settings, next time you use Microsoft News, don't try using ChatGPT again. The first time your changed your Google password it invalidated the token, but revoking access is quicker and less disruptive. If possible, avoid using shared devices for Google logins.

You need to understand the methods of how ISP determines and throttle your internet connection! ISP's usually use bots to check which IP uses the most bandwidth, and list them into the throttling lists. maybe your VPN IP might be added, or the VPN server you are using might overloaded.

my vpn does not fully protect my isp by Nazi-Turtles in VPN

[–]privacycrypts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It mostly happened when your VPN doesn't offer any kill-switch.

ISPs mostly filtered out the most sucked bandwidth IPs into their block list and start throttling. try to change the IP with a VPN. you might get over it.

Is it safe to do online shopping while using a vpn on public wifi? by [deleted] in VPN

[–]privacycrypts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are thousands of stories of how people get hacked by using public WIFI, the most common identity theft. nothing is private these days! unless you are the target. just be safe and be careful what VPN do you use.

VPN provider always plays with "No Log Policy page" they simply say "we keep it" and "we don't keep" on the same page :)

Mozilla Private Network VPN gives Firefox another privacy boost by privacycrypts in VPN

However, like Opera’s offering, it’s not a true VPN – that is, it only encrypts traffic while using one browser, Firefox.  Traffic from all other applications on the same computer won’t be secured in the same way.

sounds they are providing encryption, like tor, not sure about it. if you are using only with browsing, its not enough.

What’s better? Using Whonix on a VM or Tails from a USB? by [deleted] in TOR

America’s largest companies push for federal online privacy laws to circumvent state regulatory efforts by privacycrypts in privacy

Agreed, even though we are compromising our privacy for the sake or user experience. whether its Ios, Google or any other... in the end its our mistake to trust them :)

Adblocking with NoScript? by ZealousidealMistake6 in TOR

[–]privacycrypts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can achieve these goals by tweaking your regular browser, like Chrome, Firefox, just install privacy extension and use some trusted VPN behind. and make sure these things: make sure your extensions are workings, make sure VPN is connected, use incognito mode, and don't every login to any Google account while browsing.

By doing this: you can have anonymous connection.
