An #E2EE messaging app unaffected by #ChatControl

* App: chat.positive-intentions.com/
* Code: github.com/positive-intentions
* Reddit: reddit.com/r/positive_intentio

How it works: positive-intentions.com/docs/p

TLDR: I'm working on a #P2P messaging #webapp. Webapps are generally not considered secure because of the nature of serving statics over the internet. This is correct, but not a limitation of this project. (#selfhosting options: positive-intentions.com/blog/d).

As a webapp, I can provide the app with zero-installation and no-registration. The app is only using (local-only) browser storage (specifically #indexedDB). So in a P2P interaction, the traditional concept of "the cloud" is just the physical devices connected over #WebRTC. This allows for things like P2P authentication: positive-intentions.com/blog/s.

Future:
I'm aiming to create the most secure messaging app out there... (more than #Signal, #Simplex, #threema, #session, #deltachat, #bitchat, etc). I know I have a long way to go to get there. The UI is fairly ugly for the average user, but I think the mechanics are working as expected. I think #JavaScript is underrated in what you can do with it. I'm actively investigating improving the #encryption approach further to align to how the Signal protocol works (currently using a #DiffieHellman key-exchange).

Support:
In the age of #ChatControl, I would like to keep this project #opensource, but open-source funding is not working for me. I don't want your donations (but don't let that stop you) because it isn't sustainable for a long-term project. I have so far only experienced grant-funding rejections. I have no idea what I'm doing in trying to get funding for this project, so any support/advice is appreciated. In recognition of the project in its current state not being able to get funding... (sorry) I will have to go #closedsource (which I'd like to avoid because it undermines several #cybersecurity claims I'd like to make). I don't accept collaboration on the project because this would make tough decisions like going closed-source also immoral.

For those who have InfoSec, privacy, security, and/or related technology expertise…

Would you use Bitchat?

Datenschutz und Zensurresistenz 🔒 Die App verschlüsselt Nachrichten, speichert sie nur lokal auf den Geräten und garantiert so #Privatsphäre sowie Schutz vor Zensur und Überwachung. (1/2)

Hi Aaron, you've got some pretty stupid notions about some real world circumstances, like even thinking that us Hams (Radio Amateurs) would even give you the time of day if you dared to operate outside the legal standards and rules codified into law by international treaties.

Also, as someone who's literally spent years completely off-grid killing and growing my own food and surviving in the wilderness, miles from the nearest humans, I can say unequivocally that you would not survive one single winter in the harsh and unforgiving environments I speak of without your thermostat, warrior keyboard, and electric light with forced air heating.

Now that we have that out of the way, I'll offer to you a couple of real world solutions that are already in production use that you can avail yourself of, considering you are suggesting that "someone" needs to develop such technologies -they have already, and you're welcome to leverage those communications systems here:

https://simplex.chat/ (Uses IP) #SimpleX

https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat

The latter does NOT use IP (Internet, from your perspective). Instead, it depends upon BLE mesh, the otherwise premier surveillance network of choice by Amazon "Sidewalk", Google, and the same type of mesh networking that enables 3D GPS coordinate pinpointing of Apple AirTags.

#BitChat also has leveraging of WiFi mesh networks on the roadmap as well, and like #BLE, it is another network service that you typically CANNOT turn off (unlike regular Bluetooth and WiFi of your home SSID). Yes, it works nearby PtP & P2P at distances varying between 100 to occasionally 300 meters, where regular Bluetooth is 30 to 40 feet.

There are others, to be certain, but you should be able to deploy these without any handholding.

And stay off the Ham bands! We (licensed radio amateurs) don't tolerate miscreants such as yourself violating operating procedures or disrespecting the band plans for any given country - people like you and your fellow BOLSHEVIK pretenders should stay on 11 meters with all the other fucking poseurs.

Have a great day and I hope you find SimpleX and/or Bitchat to be valuable real world tools for solutions to meet your objectives, whatever they are, and in achieving the level of privacy and security that you require.

🤘💀🤘

Jack Dorsey's new "secure" Bitchat app hasn't been tested for security. It's like selling a bulletproof vest without checking if it stops bullets 🛡️

Researchers already found ways to impersonate users through broken identity verification. Maybe test before launch?

Bitchat "Critical Security Patches - Multiple Vulnerabilities Fixed # 77" pull request at Github:

"Security Patches with Preserved Auto-Connect ✅

This PR addresses critical security vulnerabilities while preserving BitChat's core auto-connect mesh networking functionality. Based on community feedback from Franck Martin, we've implemented a user-controlled secure mode toggle that maintains the original seamless P2P experience."

Seems this may not have been very well thought-out in the design phase

"...we've implemented a user-controlled secure mode toggle that maintains the original seamless P2P experience."

Happens, when you're just hacking

"...the original seamless P2P experience."

mhmm...

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as bitchat, is in fact, Bitch At, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Bitching plus Chating. Bitch At is not an chat app unto itself, but rather another free speech platform of a fully functioning Nazi regime made useful by the shithead Jack Dorsey served with hot baked vulnerabilities and security issues.

Try out today itself and recommend it to your closest Nazi bastards. Be unsafe with Bitch At ❤️

Jack Dorsey, cofundador do Twitter, lançou o #Bitchat, um aplicativo de mensagens que funciona via Bluetooth, sem internet, sinal de celular ou servidores.
O app é descentralizado, criptografado de ponta a ponta e não exige cadastro nem coleta dados pessoais. As mensagens são transmitidas por uma rede entre os próprios celulares, formando uma malha (mesh) que pode cobrir até 300 metros.
Podendo ser usado em locais com restrição de sinal, protestos ou situações de emergência, o Bitchat também conta com um modo que apaga todos os dados do dispositivo com três toques. A versão beta está disponível para iOS e macOS.
