Re: [tor-talk] Google disable web-access to gmail for Tor-users?

2011-04-07 Thread grarpamp
 I used version 8.

sdk tools rev 10
sdk platform-tools rev 3
plat 3.0   api 11 rev 1 + google api 11 rev 1
plat 2.3.3 api 10 rev 1 + google api 10 rev 1
plat 2.2   api  8 rev 1 + google api  8 rev 2

These all work. I wanted to install the platform-tools, platforms
and add-ons individually via the command line but didn't have luck
with the filters.

3.0 has a nice big tablet interface, but no keypad/button panels
and it seems to wedge now and then.

 This should add the option to create a google account.

The above are working as expected now.

android list
android create avd -t id -n name

 when you create an avd you have the option of specifying a custom
 screen resolution

I didn't have much luck there. My physical crt is 21 at 1600x1200.
So I'd want the android glass to be maybe 800x600, excluding the
keypad/button panels off to the right. All within an X window of
maybe 1024x768.

Anyways: emulator -avb name -wipe-data -scale 0.76


Regarding identities and what is being sent...

# sdk installation
Though I haven't hashed the installation tree, I don't expeect
android/google is issuing unique software packages (with embedded
certs, etc).

# avb runtime
There are notes on the developer blog about various software generated
identities. So at minimum the avd's should be regenned per account.
You could diff the avb dirs. And further unpack/mount the images.

Also: adb bugreport

# host
Though less likely, there could also be access (via java, blobs)
of the host system UUID, MAC address, etc.

# wire
It's https, can't sniff it. I doubt google still has a fallback
http creation interface either.

My guess is that if you torify the entire box, regen the avb's and
maybe change your MAC... you should be safe across accounts. But
to be sure...


 I don't have any idea how this works. If anyone is interested in
 poking into this I suggest adding a self-signed root CA on a device or
 emulator and use sslsniff + wireshark to see what is going on.
 I found a nice tutorial explaining how to install a root CA here:
 http://wiki.cacert.org/ImportRootCert
 Unfortunately this did not work and the certificate is still
 untrusted. I also tried installing the certificate from the SD card
 (through settings-locationsecurity-install from sd card), but that
 doesn't affect the global certificate store.
 Attempts to create an account failed and sslsniff did not log anything.

There's probably some android debugger that would work to trace the
I/O of the android process that's talking through the stack to google.

Regardless of what's being sent, I'm pretty sure it's using a
lightweight android domain/proxy service cluster within google.

 You don't have an android phone? The following works too:
 
 1. Install the android sdk/emulator and create an avd. I tested with
 API 8 (android 2.2) + google apis


Oh, it is so slow to install that emulator through Tor...
Do I need only install for that  API 8 (android 2.2) + google apis, not
others?
And why do you try it with that version (which is now so new)?

They just happen to have some really good services and tie-ins that

sure, I'd get another phone or use my own, no problem :)

If I understand some Tor users' reasoning, they want to use Tor w/ email 
for various privacy reasons AND they want to use really good services

Plus, some are concerned about having huge email storage while using 
Tor?  Uh, not sure I understand that.  I must be missing something.  You 
do know anything stored on their servers isn't private?  My questions 
here are sincere - trying to learn - why use Tor  email (? on everyday 
basis ?) AND Gmail?


Presumably, the email contents would only be hidden from ISPs - or 
perhaps prevented from being intercepted.  The weakest link in chain is 
everything is exposed to Google.  Maybe I'll learn something about 
privacy / security by meaningful input why Tor + Gmail are so 
important.  No offense, but I don't consider really good services  or 
storage, etc., priorities when using Tor (if I was going to use it w/ 
email).


In some respects, if using Gmail, you may as well take out a front page 
ad on NY Times.


So why the concern for certain features (vs basic email service) AND Tor 
compatibility?  Why not use another provider w/ Tor, and a diff one 
(Gmail, if you insist) for everyday email?


What are a few of the reasons for using Tor w/ email, where it's not 
just as easy to use another Tor friendly provider?  IMHO, the brand 
recognition issue, especially when using Tor, doesn't make sense.  If 
you want privacy, Gmail or anything remotely connected to Google isn't 
the place to be.  Not an opinion - well documented over yrs.  It's like 
saying, how can I stick my head in a lion's mouth w/o getting bitten?  
How about not sticking it in at all?

 If I understand some Tor users' reasoning, they want to use Tor w/ email
 for various privacy reasons AND they want to use really good services 
 tie-ins at the same time? ... My questions here are sincere - trying to learn

The shortest answer is that strong pseudonyms are useful, even (or
especially) in a well connected social environment. Many people want
to have those links. Many want use some of the services google offers:
https://www.google.com/intl/en/options/
Many want to participate in the scene... just not as themselves.

No one here is saying that google is not indeed terribly evil.
Nor does being social or using google services equate to compromise
of one's nym. That's up to the user and how they use it. Some keep
their nym intact, some selectively disclose, some fully.

Google, facebook, twitter, etc are all good entry points into the space,
whether one chooses to do so pseudonymously or not.

If they forbid access from anonymity networks, that element of usage
is broken. So people testing and cataloging what works and doesn't,
and finding workarounds, is a very useful thing.

Some want location masking, some want identity masking, some
want both.

 Presumably, the email contents would only be hidden from ISPs
 The weakest link in chain is everything is exposed to Google.
 Maybe I'll learn something about privacy / security by meaningful
 input why Tor + Gmail are so important.

They are no more important to privacy/security than any other provider.
All providers of all services are not to be trusted in that regard. Neither
is anyone who might be able to trump them. That's old news :)

 IMHO, the brand recognition issue ... doesn't make sense.

See the first paragraphs.

2011-04-07 Thread grarpamp
 Those are very good points.
 My usage is just to expand the Tor community and get some modicum of
 privacy.  The more regular users that use Tor, the more acceptable
 it's use will be perceived.  As, if only the pedophiles and
 criminals use it, then it draws more attention and immediately labels
 you a bad guy if you're suspected of using Tor.  It also adds to the
 cost of those who would try to circumvent it's use.

Yep. Many people use anonymity networks for their day to day biz and
personal life, even with their real identity. Nothing 'bad' about it. It's
kindof cool even. I don't like the association of such nets with 'bad'
elements. They'll always be there, and overridden by the 'good' ones.
Call it critical mass :)

Re: [tor-talk] Tor IM Bundle

2011-04-07 Thread michael jefferson
Thank you very much for this info about wiping the drive. I will do that.

For reference about deleting the logs so I can know this for my other
computers as well, if I just delete the entire Tor IM Browser Bundle folder,
will this delete all the Pidgin Chat logs and web history from the Tor
Browser?

Or is there some extra step I need to take to delete all of these Pidgin
chat logs and web history?

Thank you for your expertise. There are many intelligent people on this
list, I appreciate your knowledge.

 You have to wipe your drive, which means to overwrite it completely.
 Do not give away any hard drive without wiping it first. Deleted files
 can easily be restored (deletion only removes the pointer to a file, not
 the file itself).

 I ask your forgiveness please if it is somewhere there but I couldn't

 Pidgin and am taking it off my old computer before I give my computer away.
 
 If I just delete the Pidgin folder that is self contained in the Tor

 Or are they saved in another place?
 
 Also, is there any browser history that I might need to delete?
