Re: Public-Private Keys (WireShark)

Nice find, Mac! :) Dealing with Nalates requires a bit more space… :shock: I’ll try to keep it shorter next time! How so? You don’t have the private key or the session key. In the context of a MITM a cracker would have already dome some sophisticated cracking and would have demonstrated determinatio...

Re: Public-Private Keys (WireShark)

a'moaca', good point about the Python download – I hadn’t thought of that. However, anyone determined enough to hijack the data stream is going to find and easy way to monitor the conversations. Compared to hijacking a router I think reading the code to see what the server sends to the client and us...

Re: Public-Private Keys (WireShark)

I keep rereading your post looking for "The real benefit of encryption is what I mentioned above." and not finding it... What I was referring to by “above” is Knowing that only I and the server operator know what I am doing on the server, and knowing that I am connected to the server that I think I...

Re: Public-Private Keys (WireShark)

I have the impression you are mixing up the public and private keys. (If you are not familiar with public-key cryptography, read up on it . The specific method used in Uru is Diffie-Hellman key exchange .) The public key is, as its name implies, public. It is part of the client already and can easil...

Re: Release of Wireshark plugin for Uru protocols

I have been using this for a few days now. Very useful! I have come up with two modifications and have entered them into the issue tracker in case you like them: Always display the date in vault node timestamps Display more info about vault nodes in the Info column It may well be that there are bett...

Re: Release of Wireshark plugin for Uru protocols

Wow! 8-) Lucky me that I haven’t spent a lot of work on manually dissecting my MOULa dumps yet! (I have mostly automated decryption, but not analysis of the individual messages.) This is going to make learning the protocol much easier – thank you so much! I’ll be sure to give it a try next weekend o...

Re: Uru Code Release - Partial

I didn't think so much about the license because there was none. I'm not really clear on what happens when no license or limitation is issued. I'm sure it's in copyright law somewhere. But what is the default state of code and copyright when any changes are all hypothetical (are not applied). It's ...

Re: Uru Code Release - Partial

The MOUL thread does some good speculating and from a programmers perspective it is probably what needs to happen. I think it over looks the kids, novice, and amateur programmers that have no clue what version control is about. I disagree. If you are a novice programmer and have no clue what versio...

Re: Uru Code Release - Partial

I guess what I still have trouble wrapping my head around is why the process used to get KI modifications into MOULa now should be different from the open-source development process used down the road. Why would Cyan want to get user contributions into MOULa before enabling the open-source process a...

Re: Uru Code Release - Partial

Is it still peer review if it is restricted to a group of selected (in whatever way) “assessors”? Can we afford to exclude those from reviewing that would be most qualified for it? I expect a high overlap between “qualified people” and “submitters”. It seems to me that the appropriate procedure for ...
