This is helpful when you want to use the anonymizing capabilities of tor, but you need to access a website that explicitly blocks tor exit nodes . . . → Read More: Tor->VPN in TAILS to bypass tor-blocking

If you google “pycurl tor”, one of the first results is a stackoverflow post that describes how to configure pycurl using the pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5 setting. Indeed, even the tutorial To . . . → Read More: pycurl through Tor without leaking DNS lookups

I will show the unencrypted metadata added to a GPG-encypted message, and I will present commands that can be used to extract . . . → Read More: Eavesdropping Analysis of PGP Metadata

I’m posting this for historical and educational purposes only. As always, I never condone the implementation of any of my content for malicious intent. Moreover, this script has flaws that * would make it . . . → Read More: Iterative MITM Packet Sniffer
