Let’s imagine one is targeted by an extremely powerful adversary with maximum REASONABLY available resources (access to hosting providers, cryptographers, ISPs and so on) If you were supposed to give that adversary some kind of information over a messaging app while protecting your identity as much…

Thank you for reading my original post - obviously, for my described “threat model” battery drainage is absolutely insignificant. The only and main issue I see with SimpleX is the fact that - again - their server providers are either Akamai or Runonflux (even the ones supposedly “hosted by people”)…

Oh. also, how is SimpleX more metadata resistant than Session? Genuinely curious, not really fond of the protocol itself if I’m being honest’.

If battery life is not a concern, self-host your own server and share some access to your friends via a VPN located at your home (or safer location that you control). :+1:t2: [image] bubbyhubby: how is SimpleX more metadata resistant than Session No damn clue myself. Some people are very ner…

While not the most user friendly, it is the most secure: GitHub - maqp/tfc: Tinfoil Chat - Onion-routed, endpoint secure messaging system

How are you planning to communicate with this adversary in the first place to tell them which messaging app you’re sending the info through? Do you already have a contact for them on one of these apps? Signal would probably be fine if you are on grapheneos and buy the number you’re linking to it wi…

Metadata resistance probably shouldn’t matter much in this instance as long as you scrub metadata from whatever files you’re sending before sending them (and don’t send PDFs). In this case, you don’t need to protect from the adversary monitoring your comms because you are literally trying to send th…

Can you give a TLDR of what his twitter feed looks like? I am probably not going to access that site, but I’m interested in the info.

Wait, you want to communicate with the adversary? While remaining anonymous to that adversary? Send a letter from a place you don’t live with no return address. Print the letter with the most common possible printer model you can find. Use an air-gapped, never on the internet computer to type/p…
