I never thought I would find a chat room in gopher

Ok, AI bot.

What do the Gopher Troopers think of the following? The Gopher protocol is a nearly-forgotten network protocol from the early 1990s, designed to serve and navigate text-based menus and documents over the Internet. While it’s far less common than HTTP/HTTPS today, there are still some security risks associated with Gopher and Gopher space. Let’s break them down carefully: 1. Lack of Encryption Problem: Gopher was designed long before widespread use of SSL/TLS. All data—including credentials, file transfers, and menu selections—is transmitted in plaintext. Impact: Anyone intercepting traffic (e.g., via a network sniffer, public Wi-Fi, or a compromised router) can read sensitive information, including usernames and passwords. 2. No Authentication or Access Control Problem: Gopher servers rarely implement robust authentication; access control is usually limited or non-existent. Impact: Unauthorized users might browse sensitive directories or download private files, particularly if servers are misconfigured. 3. Server Software Vulnerabilities Problem: Modern OSes can still run legacy Gopher servers, but the software is often unmaintained. Impact: Old software may contain buffer overflows, directory traversal bugs, or command injection vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. 4. Malicious Gopher Links Problem: Gopher menus can contain links that point to scripts or other servers, similar to hyperlinks in HTTP. A client following a malicious link could inadvertently: Download malware Access sensitive internal network resources (server-side request forgery) Impact: Could serve as a vector for attacks if a user opens content from untrusted sources. 5. Legacy Protocol Weaknesses Problem: Gopher lacks modern web security mechanisms like: Content security policies Same-origin policies Cross-site request forgery protection Impact: If Gopher is bridged to other services (like modern browsers via gateways), old vulnerabilities may be exposed. 6. Information Leakage Problem: Gopher servers often provide directory listings without restriction. Impact: Sensitive files, backup directories, and internal documents may be exposed unintentionally. 7. Bridging Risks Problem: Some modern browsers access Gopher via gateways (HTTP-to-Gopher proxies). These bridges may: Expose sensitive internal resources to the gateway Introduce logging or tracking that wouldn’t exist on pure Gopher Impact: Attacks could occur indirectly through insecure intermediaries. Key Takeaways Gopher is inherently insecure due to its design in a pre-HTTPS era. Main threats: eavesdropping, unauthorized access, malware delivery, and exploitation of unpatched server software. Safe practice: Use Gopher only in isolated, trusted environments, or through secure HTTP(S) gateways with proper sanitization.

Happy trip to the moon, USA!

Heyy 04866, regarding grub, you should have checked your grub config file before installing it, never rely on distro’s tools. See if your grub config matches your intention and install it, if not, tweak it until it’s fine.

Is that ID I received for my messages stable somehow or is it changin if I get here another day?

heyy

You should study your tools if you’re planning to FAFO with them. Now use a live USB and see if the grub files are missing something, or just learn how grub works.

I installed Alpine Linux on my laptop. I’m pissed that Devuan wouldn’t boot after installing. Msg to Devuan devs: terrible UX after “successfully” installing when you see “grub>”.

Try motor-bycicle, this is cool stuff!

Hey yall. Anyone got Gas in Upstate Arkansas? My 1999 Honda Civic LX is Low on fuel and I need to go to places soon.

If you don’t know what social media is, send letters to 10 friends or random people.

What is social media?

You don’t have at least 10 friends? Send letters to random people.

This is Gopher. Feel free to share contents published here with friends. Not on social media? Send letters to 10 of your friends.

Find a good snail-mail service online or buy an envelope and stamp, and send them your message.

everyone is here, welcome!

Right now here here right now me :-D

Hello?Is anyone here right now?

Hello I’m new here :D

@fe55c : Hi, which client do you use on Haiku? It seems to me that the protocol has been removed from WebPositive?

Welp, finally dug out after the snow. I’m officially ready to spring

@fe55c How are you liking Haiku? I love the idea of a tabbed interface, but I wonder if it can handle most work duties or the modern web.

Someone alredy said that.

Some weeks ago I got a phishing email from the british defence ministry. Always look at the ip, if you get emails from unknown persons. Adresses from friends can be fake.

Hi @c2803! You are right. But whot is the reason, that the onion site of magical.fish is not working? Why 1436.ninja/1/Port70News is not working? Why gopher://sdf-eu.org is not working? I thing, big companies or states are making troubles to gopher sites. If you like to search the web anonymously, take the onion site of me0w.net .

HEY! I think we all noticed that privacy is dying. Government and corporate entities around the world are building the laws and tools to track you, from everything you write, to the media you consume, to where you drive your car and the people you associate with. Gopher I believe Is one of the last bastions of freedom away from what I call “Corpo web”. GopherSpace is free, I wrote my client so I know it’s safe, and I can route my traffic over tor or any proxy of my choosing. I think we should use gopher as a means to communicate and get out of the modern corpo web because soon everything you do and say on the modern web or possibly corporate owned devices is under scrutiny, even more so than it ALREADY IS. Right now I can use tor and my custom gopher cli to communicate privately here. With the ways the laws are going they are going to implement things like age verification to track you and they’ll deem privacy focused open source software as tools for circumventing these rules. It’s a slippery slope. I need to stop writing before I sound really crazy.
