Anyone here use Tox.im? - Nyx - 07-09-2014
I just heard about this program from a buddy and I was wondering if anyone here uses it? It looks neat and has a great concept behind it with the whole security aspect to it. To anyone who hasn't heard about it, you can go to http://www.tox.im/ to take a peek!

It seems overhyped. I've heard the security isn't as great as people like to believe, either. I think XMPP is a better solution.

It's probably a lot better than Skype though... Grabbing IPs through Skype is the easiest fucking thing to do.

Grabbing IPs are the easist thing to do to, period.

But most people aren't as smart as Starfall is with computers...

Probably, but I haven't bothered to look into how to do it so I wouldn't really know. I just know how to put a Skype name into a Skype resolver and go from there.

No not really. It's still P2P and it's actually DHT based. I did a security audit back when they were coming up, and the security has not improved much communication-wise or file-sharing or video-security wise. I had been asked not to publish my findings because it was "still beta" but it was still distributed regardless.

I really wish I understood this kind of stuff..

would if it wasn't buggy as fuck and had some actual audits done.
