    I didn’t say it isn’t legit nor I distrust automation, but I would like to see anyone operating an online shop paid for a cert to show they are honest and won’t diappear in thin air not delivering. Am I going to get back what I paid, properly not, but a basic DV cert isn’t expensive either for a business.

    Personally, I distrust any ecommerce site that uses any free cert. I see paid cert as a commitment to do honest business, as they need to have some records on the CA.

    But for a blog or anythings other than ecommerce is totally fine by me.

    Note: It is not about security, nor automation, but a show commitment (i.e. buying a cert), largely psycological.










  • That scanner is simply looking for high entropy data, and then report to its operator. It wouldn’t care if it is a drive or a volume or a file. If the entropy is high, flag it.

    All random data have high entropy, same for encrypted data. The officer can see you have high entropy data then start throwing questions at you.

    This community need better understanding of cryptography and how it translates to real world. Deniable encryption exists and does work on paper, but only on paper.
