The project is APLHA software aiming at replacing Skype.

It probably has its burden of bugs and certainly lacks proper security
at this point.  It would certainly benefit from scrutiny.  On the crypto
side, they chose NaCL, not a bad choice. ;o)  It also support going
through Tor.

The functionality is awesome, especially considering its *alpha* status
(I repeat to insist on the fact that it's a potential solution, and
probably one that needs to be audited, because as people discover it,
they tend to use it).  It provides voice, video (including desktop
view), file sharing, chat with UTF-8 support.  It runs from the terminal
with Toxic, or in GUI with qTox and uTox, on GNU/Linux 32 and 64 bit,
Android, Windows, and MacOSX.  The Windows port is more alpha than the
*nix ports.

Re: [liberationtech] secure voice options for china?

2015-02-14 Thread ITechGeek
It looks nice, but I would wait before using it when the people you're
trying to hide from can throw you in jail if found.

I will say I like how they're also making it a plugin for existing IM
clients Pidgin  Adium.

I also can't look at their bugs page cause they have HSTS enabled and the
SSL cert doesn't validate because it is for *.tenderapp.com and the URL is
https://support.libtoxcore.so/

It looks like support.libtoxcore.so is a cname for tox.tenderapp.com and
someone probably just forgot to set-up the SNI cert.
