Where is your tutorial database?
It is under construction.
How can I connect to your IRC and chat with you?
You need an IRC client, as no webchat exists as for now. We plan to add a tutorial to our tutorial database about IRC. The server information follows:
- Server Address: cryptoforliberty.org
- Ports: 6697 (TLS support)
- Official channel: #cryptoforliberty
It is an old school service, with no support for nicks longer than 9 characters and no NickServ or ChanServ support.
The IRC service is also available from the i2p mesh network. You can create a tunnel to server irc.cryptoforliberty.org (b32: rj74pcdhli7oz4ic46ve6dykt6hpmrqaxnhn5eolllcvqybaxnba.b32.i2p).
What are the terms of use of the IRC server?
Some simple rules:
- Don't Spam
- Don't use the service for deeds that are illegal under Spanish law
- Trying to bypass channel bans or the "ignore" filters of other users is considered unnaceptable
- Don't set channels with topics that are against Crypto For Liberty's goals. This includes Communist channels, Nazi channels, or any advocacy of totalitarism. Totalitarian societies are about control and are based on their ability to gather information. They hate encryption.
- Don't bother IRCops with matters that are not related to the service itself. If you are banned or have a particular problem with a particular channel, talk to the channel operator. IRCops are neutral and won't take action unless the above rules are broken
We hope you will enjoy your visit and learn a lot about security with us.
