Everytime I click on stackoverflow the answer is some pompous windbag who chastised the OP for some trivial error in his post, or claiming it was posted to the wrong base, or some other infraction that wastes your time and the question you want answered is locked. I'd like to evac that site and nuke it from orbit.

You should also use startpage.com instead of google. Less spyware, same results

Syria would blow it out of the sky. They also are targeting all satellite signals in their borders with mortar shelling. That's how all those French journalists got owned, they turned on the cameras, set up the uplink and 30 seconds later bam here's a face full of explosive censorship enjoy. They simply locked on to the signal and shelled it not caring who was there.

They've also been targeting wireless uplinks across borders and adhoc cell towers. Syria levelled an entire apartment building full of kids in Turkey to destroy a suspected adhoc cell tower they claimed was being used by "terrorists". This is serious business, no piratebay UAV drone solution is going to work. Mesh networking is also certain death, any building with a mesh router on it is going to have all its inhabitants dragged out of their apartments and shot in the street so they've been using good old walkie talkies and bouncing signals all over the place to confuse the syrian army, and in most cases simply stealing Syrian army comsec devices and pretending to be them talking in slight code with each other to avoid suspicion. Al Jazeera ran a story with some smugglers who used gps disabled cellphones but changed the IMEI every couple of hours to avoid being found

They've been blocking traffic in Syria to numerous social networking and email/voip sites since the revolution began, and nulling cell towers in every area where there are protests. This hasn't hampered the free syrian army or activists as since last year they've been passing sdcards to the border of lebanon, jordan, iraq and turkey and uploading their videos wirelessly from there. The FSA is running two border crossing with turkey anyways.

This seems to be like some sort of incompetence, more like they tried to set up some sort of spying choke point and it massively failed. ask nokia-siemens, they helped iran set up their chokepoint, most likely some infosec whitehats with zero ethics are currently flying out there to assist in the holocaust, er I mean rebellion put down, by working with Assad to get the tubes back up.

It only hurts Assad to keep the tubes out, his loyal base needs to buy their louis vuitton bags off alibaba to keep their minds off the constant public shooting of protesters and shelling of entire cities full of "terrorists"

this article was terribad internet 2.0 stuffed shirt middle management corporate hot garbage.

i wiped my ass with everything that ceo had to say. join our moustache hipster 'hot startup', it'll take you 9 interviews but we're worth it. really? it's 2012 how about f you and your viral marketing video cloud service startup. you are parasites upon humanity making video spam and viewing metrics stats for car companies, penis pills and gambling. just admit you are shameless hucksters that are one peg above a spammer, ditch the synergies and ridiculous pretense.

if this guy enjoys the starbucks latte macfag synergies promoting corporate work environment that's great but this isn't 'hacking' this is pleading and begging to get a shitty job in yet another corporation that's just pretending to be super kawaii cool and awesome but when it comes down to it they'll lay this guy off in a heartbeat, sell the company to some megacorp and screw every employee royally. all startups do this. the guy who owns it buys back all your shares before he lays you off as a favour then keeps the money and sells out faster than Jay Leno in front of a bowl full of Doritos.

I bet they do excrement inducing "team building exercizes" at this way super coo startup. No matter what hipster clothes and mac products you put in front of the CEO he's Bill Lumberg from Office Space demanding TPS reports.

Finally the worst of this entire article was the buzzword 'growth hacker' which is newspeak for a spammer. Look at the definition article they link, some guy who basically manipulates CL ads to punt his junk, a marketer with coding experience, in other words, a fcking spammer. Protip: all of India and Pakistan are chock full of marketers who can code. This is not a revolutionary concept.

I would've shown up and given this guy a USB drive with 3 OSx exploits on it to corrupt client side memory and my "resume", then sold myself to him in person using balls not limp social media or stalking around linkedin and twitter. If they didn't hire me I'd have their source code to sell on blackhat SEO forums anyways so who cares.

Holy shit, seriously who is running the EFF these days? I haven't checked in since the 1990s. This was the absolute WORST article on privacy I've ever read in my life.

FUUUUUU... did they just advocate for people to use Hushmail? The same proprietary, for-profit organization that when contacted by the FBI they present the user with a decoy login screen so they can capture your password in the clear and then decrypt your entire history to hand over to the feds?

Nobody should be using hushmail in 2012, not after multiple court cases that have detailed exactly what hushmail has done for the feds. Hushmail has sold their users out so many times I can't count. It's useless cloud encryption nonsense.

If you really want to send an anonymous email, you use mixmaster, torrified. Period.

If you need a method to be contacted by people who are clueless you then sign up to privacybox.de a free service provided by the German Privacy Foundation and you upload your public PGP key and have it forwarded to a tormail account. Reply through mixmaster encrypted

If you're really paranoid you have mixmaster post encrypted emails to alt.anonymous.messages and skip centralized email servers like tormail all together

http://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/help-live-cd/jondo-liv...

This is how send email torrified with Jondo live privacy CD, or just install mixmaster on your own linux/bsd computer and use full disc encryption + pgp.

Screw the EFF after reading that tutorial. It should be burned to the ground and an entire new organization built if this article is their best advice.
