Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-a431412697
2016-06-19 01:30:00.918166
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ricochet
Product : Fedora 22
Version : 1.1.2
Release : 2.fc22
URL :
https://ricochet.im/
Summary : Anonymous peer-to-peer instant messaging
Description :
Ricochet is an experiment with a different kind of instant messaging that
doesn't trust anyone with your identity, your contact list, or your
communications.
* You can chat without exposing your identity (or IP address) to anyone
* Nobody can discover who your contacts are or when you talk (meta-data-free!)
* There are no servers to compromise or operators to intimidate for your
information
* It's cross-platform and easy for non-technical users
Warnings: Tor does no protocol cleaning. That means there is a danger
that application protocols and associated programs can be induced to
reveal information about the initiator. Tor depends on Privoxy and
similar protocol cleaners to solve this problem. The present network
is very small -- this further reduces the strength of the anonymity
provided. Tor is not presently suitable for high-stakes anonymity.
