nif2ee··on DoH Privacy Enhancement: Do Not Set the User-Agent Header for DoH Requests
Yes, that's a one more reason to trust Cloudflare and Google over a nobody service since their motives with their free DNS services (including DoH and DNS over TLS) relate more to having up-to-date synchronization, load balancing, etc.. with the servers they host themselves. Spying on users via DNS queries by Cloudflare or Google is kind of a joke that can bait only the ignorant. Cloudflare terminates TLS connections and even issues TLS certs and can "theoretically" see every sensitive data that can compromise both businesses and users and yet they are trusted by countless public companies and startups alike. The same thing if not more for Google for their own ervices or their GCP business.
nif2ee··on DoH Privacy Enhancement: Do Not Set the User-Agent Header for DoH Requests
It's all bout money encapsulated by "security" marketing buzzword. Yes, DoH is an improvement over old plaintext UDP DNS. But why should I used a nobody service over Cloudflare or Google that update their databases within seconds all over the world and rarely if ever faced a downtime?
nif2ee··on The Startup Side Project Bubble (2013)
"How dare you slave not work for me 24/7 so that I can buy that yacht? I fucking own you, get back to work": the post
nif2ee··on $12k/month SaaS scraping social networks’ data
How is this even legal?
nif2ee··on My Bootstrapped Micro-Startup Got Acquired
I mean, unlike theoretically preached by old billionaires and millionaires trying to trick the public and rewrite their own history, making money is usually at odds with creating real value. It's usually about marketing, PR and gaming the system.
nif2ee··on My Bootstrapped Micro-Startup Got Acquired
It's heartbreaking to see people who scrape websites and make 60k in a weekend project while opensource maintainers for projects used by thousands of companies are begging for 10 dollars a month
nif2ee··on WireGuard is in net-next
This will mean a lot for the future of WireGuard and VPNs if it catches Ubuntu 20.04
nif2ee··on Ask HN: Why do tech startup owners do not own the majority of their stock?
because most founders are in the business of raising money not building companies/making products
nif2ee··on Inferring and hijacking VPN-tunneled TCP connections
I just can't understand how this attack can be implemented in real world, it not only needs having an adjacent network access to the VPN client but most importantly knowing the destination of a currently open TCP connection encrypted by the VPN and then guessing the right sequence numbers. Since most TCP connections are also carrying TLS these days, this attack is pretty useless in the vast majority of real world situations I can think of.
