  • So if they were going to do an attack like this, they wouldn’t do anything like the DH attack you’re talking about, they’d have a custom CA in the browser’s SSL root store. That root cert means they can generate a certificate for any website you visit, and that custom root cert would be how they decrypt your traffic.

    Afaik there isn’t a current attack on proper DH key pairings, but you can’t block the custom certificate path at the browser level without some serious server side work/client side JS to validate



  • Yeah, but then you give them something to complain about afterwards. Pissing them off by being kind is sooooo much more rewarding. You haven’t experienced pettiness until you’ve gotten a customer to a boiling rage by being nothing but saccharine and professional to a pissed off customer looking for a fight.

    I used to work retail cell phone sales for a now defunct reseller, and we’d frequently get people in who got pissed off when they found out we couldn’t do a lot of carrier functions, and boy was it fun winding people up by being kind, courteous and professional.

    I wasn’t as bad as the South Park ISP dudes, but same vibe lol









  • Yeah …notice I said “learning”, not “being taught”. Maybe the rest of it that I left implied is what happens when you force people to learn your language? Didn’t think I’d have to spell out what the schools did to those poor children to make them learn English for you to understand an implied point, but here we are.

    How do you think they’re going to make these people learn Mandarin? Do you think they’re going to ask nicely? Or are they going to do the same thing every dominant colonial culture tries to do to its minorites?
