2023-06-11 05:44:47 YouTube legal team asked Invidious developers to take down the service within 7 days.
In response, the project manager of the Invidious project replied on GitHub that they never agreed to any of YouTube's Terms of Services or Policies, and that Invidious doesn't use YouTube's API to fetch and display the videos. He added that “Things will continue normally until they can't anymore.”, implying that they're not going to comply with YouTube legal team's request.

2023-06-07 02:52:36 Call for Testers: Help the Tor Project to test Conjure on Tor Browser Alpha!

We are thrilled to announce that Conjure, a new pluggable transport is now supported in the alpha version of Tor Browser for Desktop and Android. Conjure is an anti-censorship tool that uses refraction networking (aka decoy routing) that will help users to bypass censorship and connect to the Tor network. We need your help to test if Conjure works in regions that the Tor network is blocked.

Your feedback will help us identify issues with this new pluggable transport and ensure its reliability.

What is Conjure?

Conjure is an anti-censorship tool in the refraction networking (a.k.a. decoy routing) lineage of circumvention systems. The key innovation of Conjure is to turn the unused IP address space of deploying Internet Service Providers (ISPs) into a large pool of phantom proxies that users can connect to. Due to the size of unused IPv6 address space and the potential for collateral damage against real websites hosted by the deploying ISPs, Conjure provides an effective solution to the problem of censors enumerating deployed bridges or proxies.

# How to test Conjure

Important note on risk assessment

Please only download Tor Browser Alpha if you are okay with some things not working properly, want to help us find and report bugs, and are not putting yourself at risk. Be aware that testing a new pluggable transport may call attention of censors.

To participate in this testing program, please follow these steps:

Desktop

1. Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Desktop (make sure you have a backup of your existing browser setup).
https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/

2. Open Tor Browser and navigate to the Connection preferences window. Or Click on "Configure Connection...".
Menu > Settings > Connection (about:preferences#connection)

3. Click on "Add a Bridge Manually". Copy and add the bridge line below in the field.


conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net


4. Click "OK" to close the bridge dialog. Finally, scroll up and click on "Connect".

5. If you see a purple screen "Test. Thoroughly." or if your Tor Browser Alpha was updated, you will see "Tor Browser has been updated”. Then, it means Conjure is working and you can use it for your browsing activities.

6. Take note of any issues, errors, or unexpected behavior you encounter while trying to connect to Tor using Conjure.
Android

1. Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Android.

2. When you run Tor Browser for the first time, you will see the option to connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection with the settings icon.

3. Tap on the settings icon. Tor Browser will take you through a series of configuration options. The first screen will tell you about the status of the Tor Network and provide you the option to configure a Bridge ('Config Bridge'). Tap on 'Config Bridge'.

4. Choose the "Provide a Bridge I know" option and then enter this bridge address:


conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net


5. Tap 'OK' and, if everything works well, it will connect.

Submit your feedback

Submit your feedback and findings here on this topic or use Conjure Gitlab for technical reports. Include a clear description of the problem, your Tor logs, steps to reproduce it, and any relevant details.

By testing Conjure and reporting any issues, bugs, or suggestions, you will contribute significantly to refining its performance and optimizing its capabilities. Your participation will not only benefit the Tor community but also help advance the Internet freedom community.

2023-06-06 06:00:15 Reddit is getting ready to slap third-pary apps with millions of dollars in API fees, and many Reddit users are unhappy about it. A widespread protest is planned for June 12, with hundreds of big and small subreddits planning to go dark for at least 48 hours.

2023-06-01 22:00:09 In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”

2023-05-26 08:38:11 May 25 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink on Thursday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given the green light to its first-in-human clinical trial, a critical milestone after earlier struggles to gain approval.

2023-05-26 01:00:13 Microsoft has uncovered stealthy and targeted malicious activity focused on post-compromise credential access and network system discovery aimed at critical infrastructure organizations in the United States. The attack is carried out by Volt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor based in China that typically focuses on espionage and information gathering. Microsoft assesses with moderate confidence that this Volt Typhoon campaign is pursuing development of capabilities that could disrupt critical communications infrastructure between the United States and Asia region during future crises.

US government agencies, including the National Security Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Justice Department published a joint advisory about Volt Typhoon's activity today alongside Canadian, UK, and Australian intelligence. “Private sector partners have identified that this activity affects networks across US critical infrastructure sectors, and the authoring agencies believe the actor could apply the same techniques against these and other sectors worldwide,” the agencies wrote.

2023-05-08 00:31:30 Google took a step toward to a “passwordless future.”
The search engine company announced on Tuesday -- the day before World Password Day -- that it's begun rolling out a new security tool that allows you to sign in to your Google accounts using a passkey instead -- no password required. Apple and Microsoft have also said they will embrace passwordless logins.

Passkeys are a type of login credential that removes the need for passwords. The authentication requires either biometric authentication -- such as a fingerprint or facial recognition -- or a PIN or swipe pattern for access.
