Re: Not that daft
Well, of course the thing to do is assume, since you are a neo-Snowden and they want what you have, that the NSA stuff has back doors or other exploitable elements, so don't use all the elements that they suggest as a first step. Next, get yourself a good random number source and encrypt a variety of length "messages" and send them off to someone who you are sure is being monitored. Assume you send 100 random "messages" and one that has valid data as the meat between two slices of random numbers and you use TrueCrypt's hidden vault thinking to bury it even deeper, how much machine time will be wasted by NSA, etc. trying to make sense of it all?
Frankly I think we should get in the habit of sending encrypted random number files on a regular basis, especially through TOR, so that they grab a bunch to chew on.
Use a junker computer to send the files and then do a good wipe and re-install OS and other programs from a DVD right after you send out the c#$%.
Sure, they have tons of money and hardware but there are more of us than them AND what we are doing takes almost no effort and d#$% little money. Say AllGo’s, or Raspberry Pi, and {brain fart} that cheap English one is used and programed to spit out these file over the free WiFi while you sip your coffee. What fun we could have!
