Snowden-approved: The Citizenfour hackers toolkit

Posted on by

One of the interesting reveals at the end of Citizenfour, the recent Academy Award-winning documentary about Edward Snowden, was the thanks it gives to various security software programs. The information that Snowden leaked two years ago continues to reverberate today, and it kicked off renewed interest in data security, privacy, and anonymity. Based on the closing credits in the movie, weve put together aguide tosome of the major security software programs and operating systems available. If youve wanted to take steps to secure your own information, but were uncertain where to start, this articleshould get you headed in the right direction.

The Tor Security Bundle is probably the best-known of the software products well discuss today. The Tor browser is easy to install and set up; its based on Firefox 31.5.0, but as the program warns, simply using Tor isnt enough to secure your Internet browsing. If you want to remain anonymous on the Tor network, youll need to also do the following:

Configuring Tor is relatively easy. Once youve begun the installation process, youll be asked to choose whether you want to connect directly to Tor or through a bridge relay, as shown below:

Make your choice, and the system finishes installing what looks like a standard version of Firefox with a few custom scripts and configuration options.

One caveat about using Tor for anonymous browsing is that the performance isnt going to be what youre used to from a standard connection. Tor uses multiple levels of encryption to hide destination IPs, and routes the information randomly across its own network to defeat spying. This helps prevent certain kinds of packet tracking, but it also introduces some substantial performance penalties.

The fact that Tor routing is randomized makes it tricky to estimate the performance impact of using it, but we ran a series of webpage loading tests anyway. Treat these as a useful ballpark rather than the final word. Page caches were cleared before the load tests for both standard Firefox (36.0.1) and the Tor Browsers version (31.5.0).

As you can see, load times for Tor are 3-4x higher than they are for other browsers. Thats the price you pay for anonymity.

Comets Announce Roster Moves

Posted on by

March 20, 2015 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets Utica Comets Director of Hockey Operations Pat Conacher announced today that the team has signed defenseman Ben Hutton to a professional tryout contract (PTO), and that goaltender Pat Nagle has been released from his PTO. Also, the Vancouver Canucks have reassigned goaltender Joe Cannata to the Comets from the Ontario Reign of the ECHL.

Hutton, 21, recorded 21 points (9 goals, 12assists) and 14 penalty minutes with the University of Maine this season. In 108 career total NCAA games for the Black Bears, Hutton notched 65 points (28 goals, 37 assists) and logged 40 penalty minutes. Hutton was named a Second Team All-American, and to the Hockey East First Team and was also the recipient of the Bob Monahan Award (top defenceman in New England) following a career season in 2013.14.

The 6'3" 200-pound native of Prescott, Ontario was selected by Vancouver 147th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

Nagle, 27, appeared in one game for the Comets where he stopped 25 of the Syracuse Crunch's 28 shots in a loss. In 28 games with the ECHL's Fort Wayne Komets this season Nagle owns a 2.35 GAA alongside a 0.910 save percentage and a 20-5-1-1 record.

Cannata, 25, currently ranks third in ECHL goaltenders in goals-against average (2.02) and in save percentage (0.927). He has allowed just 42 goals in 21 games with Ontario and has posted a 12-6-0-2 record with a shutout. He was the starting goalie in the ECHL All-Star game.

The Wakefield, Mass. native appeared in 28 games with the Comets last season and went 11-12-1-3 with a 2.83 goals-against average and a 0.907 save percentage. He finished the season strong by winning seven of his last nine starts with just a 2.08 goals-against average.

A sixth-round selection (173rd overall) of the Canucks in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Cannata played four years at Merrimack College from 2008-12, where he appeared in 122 career games posting an overall record of 59-46-16 with seven shutouts, a 2.47 goals-against average and a save percentage of .915.
