GNUnet 0.23.0 released

We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.23.0.
GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and privacy-preserving distributed applications.
Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.
Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet.

This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.22.0X versions. Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a while) INCOMPATIBLE with the 0.22.0X GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers will result in issues.
In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information.
As a result, the 0.23.0 release is still only suitable for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance.

#OpenWrt One: A Repairable #FOSS Wi-Fi 6 #Router From #BananaPi

Source: https://news.itsfoss.com/openwrt-one/

Built with user control in mind, the OpenWrt One is designed to be open and unbrickable, with a switch to separately flash the NOR and NAND portions of the flash memory. This allows anyone to recover their router quickly, even if one of the #firmware partitions is corrupted, enabling easy flashes and unmatched customization potential.

#Orbot lies brazenly to the user

Source: https://guardianproject.info/apps/org.torproject.android/

Orbot is a very useful app for using the #TOR #network on #Android. With all due respect to floss and the achievements of the altruistic developers, I still think it's downright cheeky to lie so blatantly to the user.

The bridge functionality, which can be optionally activated, allows users from the censored Internet, where all TOR servers are blocked, to connect anyway.

Orbot is writing:

It will not drain your battery

This is wrong. There will be more background activity for this connections and this will cost battery power. This is a damn lie!

It will not slow down your internet

This is wrong. There will be connections from others and they will slow down your internet. With a big bandwidth you won't note it but not everyone have high speed internet. This is a damm lie!

Elon #Musk declares ā€œit is #warā€ on ad #industry as #X sues over ā€œillegal #boycottā€

#ElonMusk's X Corp. today sued the World Federation of #Advertisers and several large #corporations, claiming they "conspired, along with dozens of non-defendant co-conspirators, to collectively withhold billions of dollars in #advertising revenue" from the #social #network formerly known as #Twitter.

Elon is a brilliant #mastermind because he can stop advertising without an #AdBlocker. :D

Beyond the Limit: Expanding single-packet race condition with a first sequence sync for breaking the 65,535 byte limit

source: https://flatt.tech/research/posts/beyond-the-limit-expanding-single-packet-race-condition-with-first-sequence-sync/

To overcome the limitation of a single packet attack, I used IP fragmentation and TCP sequence number reordering.

Using IP layer fragmentation, a single TCP packet can be split into multiple IP packets, which allows the full utilization of the TCP window size.
Additionally, by re-ordering the TCP sequence numbers, I prevented the target server from processing any of the TCP packets until I sent the final packet.

Thanks to these techniques, we can significantly exploit a minor limit-overrun vulnerability, potentially leading to severe vulnerabilities like the authentication bypass of one-time token authentication. During testing, I was able to send 10,000 requests in about 166ms.
