IRC is useful for multi-user chat. The classic use case is for software development where many engineers might need to coordinate their activities, but it's also useful for meetings, parties and general socialising.
|
||||
|
||||
* Irssi
|
||||
The easiest way to use irssi is to connect to your system, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then select *IRC* from the menu. However, other than via this method using ssh, irssi isn't a very good IRC client because it doesn't have the capability to onion route messages, and therefore leaks metadata. For the best security when using your IRC server, use HexChat, Emacs ERC or another client which supports socks5 proxying.
|
||||
|
||||
* HexChat
|
||||
HexChat (formerly XChat) is compatible with proxying via Tor and so provides the best security when connecting to your IRC server. It will allow you to connect to your IRC server's onion address.
|
||||
|
||||
First install HexChat and set up its configuration file. This can be done on your local machine with:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
freedombone-client --setup hexchat
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Now look up the onion address for your IRC server
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
ssh username@mydomainname -p 2222
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Select Administrator options, then *About this system* and make a note of the onion address for IRC. Also select the *IRC Menu* and take a note of the login password.
|
||||
|
||||
Run HexChat.
|
||||
|
||||
Within the network list click, *Add* and enter your domain name then click *Edit*.
|
||||
|
||||
Select the entry within the servers box, then enter *ircaddress.onion/6697* or *mydomainname/6697* and press *Enter*.
|
||||
|
||||
Uncheck *use global user information*.
|
||||
|
||||
Enter first and second nicknames and check *connect to this network on startup*.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the ordinary domain name (clearnet/ICANN) then make sure that *Use SSL* is checked.
|
||||
|
||||
[[file:images/hexchat_setup_clearnet.jpg]]
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the onion address then *use SSL* should be unchecked and the transport encryption will be handled via the onion address itself.
|
||||
|
||||
[[file:images/hexchat_setup.jpg]]
|
||||
|
||||
Within the *Password* field enter the password which can be found from the IRC menu of the *control panel*.
|
||||
|
||||
Select the *Autojoin channels* tab, click *Add* and enter *#freedombone* as the channel name.
|
||||
|
||||
Click *close* and then *connect*.
|
||||
|
||||
* Emacs
|
||||
If you are an Emacs user then you can also connect to your IRC server via Emacs.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that tor is installed onto your local system:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get install tor
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following to your Emacs configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
|
||||
(setq socks-noproxy '("localhost"))
|
||||
(require 'socks)
|
||||
(require 'tls)
|
||||
(setq socks-server (list "Tor socks" "localhost" 9050 5))
|
||||
(setq erc-server-connect-function 'socks-open-network-stream)
|
||||
(setq erc-autojoin-channels-alist
|
||||
'(("myircaddress.onion" "#freedombone")))
|
||||
(erc :server "myircaddress.onion" :port 6697 :nick "yourusername" :password "your IRC password")
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
* Changing or removing the IRC password
|
||||
By default the IRC server is set up to require a password for users to log in. The password is the same for all users. If you want to change or remove the password:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Select /Administrator controls/ then *IRC Menu* and then change the password. An empty password will allow anyone to log in, so you can have a globally accessible IRC system if you wish, although you might want to carefully consider whether that's wise.

* IRC Server (ngirc)
|
||||
Run your own IRC chat channel which can be secured with a password and accessible via an onion address. A bouncer is included so that you can receive messages sent while you were offline. Works with Hexchat and other popular clients.

Subsequently even if dynamic DNS isn't working you may still be able to administer your system. Using the onion address also gives you some degree of protection against corporate or government metadata analysis, since it becomes more difficult to passively detect which systems are communicating.

IRC is useful for multi-user chat. The classic use case is for software development where many engineers might need to coordinate their activities, but it's also useful for meetings, parties and general socialising.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div id="outline-container-org854be38" class="outline-2">

<h2 id="org854be38">Irssi</h2>
|
||||
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-org854be38">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The easiest way to use irssi is to connect to your system, like this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="org-src-container">
|
||||
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Then select <b>IRC</b> from the menu. However, other than via this method using ssh, irssi isn't a very good IRC client because it doesn't have the capability to onion route messages, and therefore leaks metadata. For the best security when using your IRC server, use HexChat, Emacs ERC or another client which supports socks5 proxying.

||||

|
||||
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-orgf253d99">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
HexChat (formerly XChat) is compatible with proxying via Tor and so provides the best security when connecting to your IRC server. It will allow you to connect to your IRC server's onion address.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First install HexChat and set up its configuration file. This can be done on your local machine with:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="org-src-container">
|
||||
<pre class="src src-bash">freedombone-client --setup hexchat
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now look up the onion address for your IRC server
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="org-src-container">
|
||||
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh username@mydomainname -p 2222
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Select Administrator options, then <b>About this system</b> and make a note of the onion address for IRC. Also select the <b>IRC Menu</b> and take a note of the login password.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Run HexChat.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Within the network list click, <b>Add</b> and enter your domain name then click <b>Edit</b>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Select the entry within the servers box, then enter <b>ircaddress.onion/6697</b> or <b>mydomainname/6697</b> and press <b>Enter</b>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Uncheck <b>use global user information</b>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Enter first and second nicknames and check <b>connect to this network on startup</b>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are using the ordinary domain name (clearnet/ICANN) then make sure that <b>Use SSL</b> is checked.
|
||||

</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are using the onion address then <b>use SSL</b> should be unchecked and the transport encryption will be handled via the onion address itself.

|

|

|

</p>
|

By default the IRC server is set up to require a password for users to log in. The password is the same for all users. If you want to change or remove the password:

IRC is useful for multi-user chat. The classic use case is for software development where many engineers might need to coordinate their activities, but it's also useful for meetings, parties and general socialising.

|

<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orgacaf59f">
|

<p>
|

The easiest way to use irssi is to connect to your system, like this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="org-src-container">
|
||||
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222

|

</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Then select <b>IRC</b> from the menu. However, other than via this method using ssh, irssi isn't a very good IRC client because it doesn't have the capability to onion route messages, and therefore leaks metadata. For the best security when using your IRC server, use HexChat, Emacs ERC or another client which supports socks5 proxying.

HexChat (formerly XChat) is compatible with proxying via Tor and so provides the best security when connecting to your IRC server. It will allow you to connect to your IRC server's onion address.
|

</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First install HexChat and set up its configuration file. This can be done on your local machine with:
|

</p>
|

<div class="org-src-container">

|

|

<div class="org-src-container">
|

<p>
|

Select Administrator options, then <b>About this system</b> and make a note of the onion address for IRC. Also select the <b>IRC Menu</b> and take a note of the login password.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Run HexChat.

Within the network list click, <b>Add</b> and enter your domain name then click <b>Edit</b>.

Select the entry within the servers box, then enter <b>ircaddress.onion/6697</b> or <b>mydomainname/6697</b> and press <b>Enter</b>.

Tor Messenger is a messaging client which supports XMPP, and its onion routing enables you to protect the metadata of chat interactions to some extent by making it difficult for an adversary to know which server is talking to which. You can download Tor Messenger from <a href="https://torproject.org">torproject.org</a> and the setup is pretty simple.

It uses a system of nodes which act as a sort of directory service allowing users to find and connect to each other. The Tox node ID on the Freedombone can be found within the README within your home directory. If you have other users connect to your node then you will be able to continue chatting even when no other nodes are available.

The security of this is pretty good provided that you do it via Plumble and Orbot on mobile, but compared to other options such as XMPP/Conversations or Tox the security is not as good, since the mumble server currently doesn't support forward secrecy.

<a href="https://jitsi.org/Documentation/ZrtpFAQ">ZRTP</a> appears to be the current best standard to end-to-end encrypted voice calls, combining good security with simplicity of use. When the initial cryptographic negotiation between phones is done at the start of a call a short authentication string (SAS) is calculated and displayed at both ends. To check that there isn't anyone intercepting the call and acting as a <i>man in the middle</i> - as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker">stingray type devices</a> try to do - the short authentication string can be read out and verbally confirmed between the callers. If it's the same then you can be pretty confident that the call is secure.

The way that RSS reading is set up on Freedombone gives you strong reading privacy. Not only is there onion routing between you and the server but also between the server and the source of the RSS feed. The only down side is that many RSS feeds are still http only, and so could be vulnerable to injection attacks, but it's expected that more of this will go to https in the foreseeable future due to a combination of growing recognition of security issues and systems like Let's Encrypt which make obtaining certificates much easier.
