I feel somewhat stupid for asking, But where are all of the new Q posts coming from? 8chan is non-existent and 8kun isn't up (for me at least)

Install a tor so you can get to onion.

http://www.jthnx5wyvjvzsxtu.onion/qresearch/catalog.html

If not that, then just check https://qmap.pub/ each day.

If not that, then stay here to chat on QRV and GreatAwakening.

I think Q has a special way of getting onto 8kun.

The question I guess, if 8kun is not secure yet why would Q be posting?

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a salt update?

Not sure. Some kind of IT talk I guess.

A string of characters used to encrypt data

No, that’s a key. Salt is used to make it harder to fake a tripcode.

The way tripcodes work, you provide a password and then an algorithm called a “one way hash function” or “cryptographic hash” crunches it to generate the tripcode. However, many passwords will hash to the same tripcode, so a hacker can fairly easily find a password that lets them use your tripcode.

Salt makes it a bit harder for the hackers. The board operator makes up some text string (the salt) and appends it to the password before calculating the tripcode. For example, if the user gives the password “foobar” and the salt is “xyzzy” the tripcode will be calculated from “foobarxyzzy” not just “foobar”. That makes it harder to use someone else’s tripcode - you can’t use any old password that hashes to the tripcode, you have to find something that hashes to the tripcode and ends with “xyzzy”. That’s appreciably harder, but still not even remotely secure - there’s a reason why no one in military intelligence would ever rely on tripcodes to prove they’re not an imposter.

Changing the salt wipes out all the old tripcodes (use the same password as before and you’ll get a whole new tripcode).

When you encrypt something, a salt is like an additional character/string to encode it even better.

Seems like Q wants to make sure everything is ok with his tripcode. I think.

He can’t make sure everything is OK with his tripcode. It’s mathematically impossible, and that’s the problem with having depended on a tripcode this way.

A tripcode no more proves a poster’s identity than those nametags you see people wearing at a conference, the ones that say “Hello my name is” and have a blank space where you write down whatever you want.

I'm seeing it as at moment of update someone could beat Q to the Q identity.

I know. A FAKER can be in the wings ready to POUNCE and Q wants to make sure that doesn't happen.

It sounds like we are all gonna be scrubbed off this forum and a reset is coming to me. If so it's been good to know all of you!
