BTW does the peer matching for Bittorrent Sync work the same way? Some write ups claim that Bittorrent Sync is more secure than Dropbox since the data isn't cloud stored. But if the client matching happens in the cloud a powerful agency could require the cloud operator to hand over the secret key and then use the key to access the Sync folder directly on the client. ...-Nod5 (August 15, 2014, 03:40 AM)
- Folder hashes are not the folder key (secret). They are used to discover other peers with the same folder. The hashes cannot be used to obtain access to the folder; it is just a way to discover the IP addresses of devices with the same folder. Hashes also cannot be guessed; it is a 160 bit number, which means that it is cryptographically impossible to guess the hash of a specific folder.
-Links make use of standard public key cryptography to enable direct and secure key exchange between peers. The link itself cannot be used for decrypting the communication as it only contains the public keys of the machines involved in the exchange. After a direct connection is established (the user can verify that by comparing the certificate fingerprint for both peers) Sync will pass the folder key over an encrypted channel for the other peer. In addition, the public key and the folder hash appear after the # sign in the URL, which means that all modern browsers won’t even send this to the server. Additional features have been implemented to further secure the key exchange using links, including (1) the links automatically expire within 3 days (set as default) and (2) explicit approval is required by the inviting peer before any key exchange takes place (also set as a default).
- We host a tracker server for peer discovery; the tracker is only there to enable peers to find each other. It is not a part of the folder exchange. As mentioned earlier, the hashes cannot be used to obtain access to a folder.
- Sync security is completely dependent on client-side implementation. The public infrastructure is there to enable better connectivity and a more user-friendly folder sharing experience. Compromising the public infrastructure cannot impact the security of Sync
IrfanViewI tried it again with IrFanView (portable version) just now and it works all right on my end.-nms1944 (November 10, 2014, 02:30 PM)
Yes I tried windows+right/windows+left - still does not work for me.What image viewer are you using?-nms1944 (November 08, 2014, 09:27 AM)
I for one am unable to get this script working. It displays the first result image and then other non result images in the same folder.What image viewer are you trying the script with? Just to make sure, you are using windows+right/windows+left to move to display the next/previous of the selected images after the initial F4 press?
It does not display the images found in other directories.-nms1944 (October 28, 2014, 11:59 AM)
The problem when you are using windows in desktop mode with a touch interface, is basically the size of the touchable things.Yes indeed!-superboyac (September 25, 2014, 04:53 PM)
I'll try it some more and post back here if I run into any drawbacks.
Are those trackers run by Bittorrent Inc?Yeah, but how does the client know who to communicate your IP address to?... like a torrent. There are trackers that know the locations of peers holding data. But they don't know what the content of the data is. And when the actual data of a message gets transferred, it's done peer-to-peer so there's no metadata passing through a central server where it can be easily intercepted. ... actual communication takes place directly between the parties themselves.-Deozaan (August 04, 2014, 08:24 AM)-40hz (August 04, 2014, 08:58 AM)
