Release Tomorrow! hydrus_dev ## Board Owner 03/01/17 (Wed) 01:59:13 9a3351 No.5239

I have had a very busy three weeks. Along with a complete network overhaul, several related critical parts of the program are rewritten. The main upshot is better control of and feedback from services, a reduction of network bandwidth by about 70%, and a tremendous improvement in overall update processing efficiency. My test machine processed ten million mappings in five minutes!

I have also squeezed in a few urgent bug fixes.

The release may be a few hours late tomorrow. I have tested a lot already, but there may be some more to do.

So excited! That bastard Artefact is going to have no idea what is going to hit his server.

Good job devbro.

Sounds cool. Random question, is network traffic encrypted?

Everything between the hydrus client and server now works on https with self-signed certificates. This means all traffic is encrypted, but no verification occurs. This isn't as good as I would like, but it covers most scenarios. The guy listening to your traffic at a wifi cafe won't be able to see what you are doing, but a hypothetical government that has full access to your ISP and infrastructure to perform a man-in-the-middle attack would be able to attack it.

I'd like to add certificate verification in a future network update. I'll write a new service that works as a certificate authority and a bit of gui so you can review and manage the certificates your client knows about and trusts. I also have to update some behind-the-scenes connection code to support this.

If you are interested, going to:

https://hydrus.no-ip.org:45871/

Should load up a welcome page for my PTR. You'll be asked to add the certificate exemption first in your browser (precisely because it is self-signed). Viewing that cert should give a SHA-256 fingerprint of:
