Riiiight. First time I'm hearing of network traffic being faked. You must be blowing the lid off of something HUGE here

You're not as smart as you think.

everything can be spoofed. Hell your comment could be.

Network traffic is faked all the time

https://www.csoonline.com/article/2514488/what-is-fake-network-traffic-and-how-does-it-complicate-security-efforts.html

Hell that article is a year old, so your info is a bit dated.

You have a good evening

Fair enough

Who holds the encryption keys? If it's X/Twiiter, I wouldn't trust it at all, especially considering who owns it.

I'm confused about this conversation. Are you the idiot here, or do you think I am?

Your AI generated article doesn't have any actual information, doesn't deal with MITM attacks, and has zero context about how anything it mentions could be used to attack what we're discussing here.

Unless you have a quantum responder in the chain, there isn't a currently known way to fake an exchange of keys to infiltrate secure channels secured by keys.

Not only would this destroy the currently existing Internet, you'd be seeing floods of information exfilateates for sale on the black market.

Not only have you not contributed to this conversation, you've proven to be absolutely ignorant about the topic, and you are awarded no points.

God have mercy on your soul.

I dont buy the security of that shit for a second.

The guy who champions free speech?

What are you basing your doubts on? When has X under Musk had anything happen to doubt their encryption? You think the guy fighting for free speech and ending people getting in trouble for what they say is going to lie about this?

I'm not the one who you asked, but I'd still give some feedback of my own.
Musk as a person is a difficult character. I would even go as far as calling him narcissistic.

• He got thrown out of PayPal for his incessant micromanagement and disruptions to the flow of the company
• he bought himself into Tesla to replace the CEO with himself
• he tends to depict himself as one of the greatest tech geniuses out there, yet often the plans he presents to the public are often poorly thought out and serve no other purpose than to show his "talents"
• when his proposal to build a tiny submarine for the Than Luang cave rescue was shot down and a British diver was chosen instead he resorted to call the diver a "pedo guy"
• his latest attempts in politics, especially concerning DOGE feel completely half baked and, again, how he presents himself in his position feels more like an ego trip than something more reasonable
• he publicly had talks with the controversial German political party "Alternative für Deutschland", which are currently legally considered "assured right-wing extremists" and have had a history of having Nazis and Nazi sympathisers in their ranks

I generally can't trust someone who seems to put himself first at everything to handle anything related to security when the role allows him to exploit it for his own gains. And I do not trust someone who supports political groups known for trying to oppress minorities to defend actual rights for free speech.

Lmfao, 4 digit password? That's like 1 femtosecond to bruteforce given whoever tries to access your messages isn't rate-limited *ahem, feds*

Youngster, your not an idiot.

You just proved my point

See you don't agree with an article. You think it's a. I generated. Fine

Prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You can't. ..

Your simply not looking at it from a vriepoirnt of having watched this outcome be developed intentionally by controlling men

It is what it is. No amount of name calling, or wishful thinking on your part. Will change that.

You are making statements that unfortunately have been proven incorrect in the real world.

It's faked all the time because THERES MONRY IN IT.

If there's money in it, it is happening. No amount of pretending that a quantum computer( Which isn't available so is a non factor in reality, so I'll ignore the irrelevant argument. ) is the only way to fake traffic.

And on to your argument. You've proven nothing. Your comment has nothing of substance in it, and what is was Trumpian in focus and meaning.

I truly wish you a good day. I'm too tired of overly confident tech bros to continue this.

Elon Musk says he champions free speech. He does not.

That’s a 4 digits password behind your account password and 2FA lol.

Platform from a whiny, fascist asshole for whiny, fascist assholes. Not that everyone on that platform is one, some might just have a high tolerance for bs

Like every news from X I'll pretend I did nazi it

I guess it can be done relatively securely using both the password and the code to derive the encryption key while not storing it on the servers (while 2fa isn't of any help here given it's kinda random with shared seed). I, however, doubt it's done that way: 1st of all, decryption should then only be possible after one enters their account password for the second time, as well as the conversation password (since the password shouldn't be stored in plaintext after you've entered it), and, secondly, that'll basically drop the chat history as soon as one changes the password, which is neither convenient nor mentioned.

Then, if it works how I assume it does, i.e. the actual encryption key is stored on the xitter's servers and only retrieved once you enter the encryption password, then they can decrypt your messages (either by immediately using that if the password just tells 'em who they should give the key to, or by bruteforcing the password if it decrypts/derives the actual key), which defeats the whole point of e2ee.

I prefer to judge people by their actions, not by the bullshit they spew. If you really think he champions free speech you are not at all paying attention to his actions.

Someones afraid of their dealer getting caught…
