Damn! I forgot to point out that I was having fun again! I'm not offended in any way. I LIKE security and wish it was practical to educate more people so that we'd have fewer DDOS, Phoshing and Spoofing problems.
I AM HAVING FUN:

As far as obfuscation goes, in my posts, I see no need for it.

Using Stunnel to a distant proxy is, by definition, a reason to look into your actions under the homeland security act. How do you know the proxy has not been compromised?
Because you are using half a dozen other measures, you probably use the same ones consistantly. That makes it easier to plan an intercept.
We've discussed Computer, privacy, Encryption, Stunnel, proxy, security, homeland security, ISP and Carnivore. What makes you think we have not triggered something based on key words?
Personally, I'm also a privacy advocate. I would love it if every law change brought about by 911 were undone. The various agencies had plenty of data that would have prevented the disaster if only someone had understood the significance. They had plenty of tools that they did not use.
The law that allows warrentless searches and spying on personal communications is a people problem, not a technological one. So are the laws that protect copyright forever, except in wierd cases. Did you know, for instance, that every PM you send via CPF belongs to Sasha? Did you know that if you are exchanging PM's regarding a miracle invention, Sasha could sell that to someone and it's totally legal.
Yeah, there's lots to fix. It just occured to me that the advocation of encrypting everything tends to come from those that wish to create enough smoke that they are not noticed. Hiding anything? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Please, remember I'm just having fun. Say stop and I will. Don't get offended.
