Pidgin
    #8854755 - 08/31/08 12:53 AM (15 years, 8 months ago)

Someone tells me i can have an IM session going, and yet a thing called Pidgin will have a way to encrypt it so it's 100% private, etc...

In case I sound stupid, let me tell you why: I have not 100% of an idea of what encryption is. I'll never learn it, never been good with computers except for a few games like counterstrike and tfc. I have a problem trusting this man's statement, because obviously I don't know much about computers to know if it's bulllshit or not. How can you completely make an IM private? Someone can be watching the conversation that you don't know about. You can probably take a screen shot of it (can't copy or paste) or just a picture with a real good camera. Does anyone know much about "Pidgin" and if it's some narcy trick or if it's safe?

naw it's cool. i use it on my linux box.

the only thing about IM encryption though is that both parties have to be using it in order to be secure. and even then, if somebody reaaaallly wants to crack it (teh g0v), they probably can. but you're average script kiddy on Cain & Able wont.

check it out.

Off The Record plugin. Remember to route your IM protocols through proxies.
