1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Okay.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So now that we have the account set up, let's go and see how we can log in to this account and communicate

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
with friends using Pidgin as the instant messenger.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
So I'm going to go to a new desktop now.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Pidgin comes pre-installed and tells.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So this is great and this is one of the reasons that I chose to cover it and one of the reasons why

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
it's so popular, because you don't need to install it.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
And as we know, tales is live.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So it's always great when you can just use the built in applications.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So we're going to go to applications and you can find Pidgin in here in the favorites, as you can see

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
in here, or you can find it under Internet and we have it right here.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Now we're going to launch this.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
And as you can see, as soon as you start it, it will have two default accounts.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Now, we're not going to be using these accounts.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
We want to use our own account, which we just created.

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So I'm going to click on ADD and I'm going to choose that this account is going to be an ex amp account.

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000
I'm going to put the username and as you remember, the username that we picked was JH N, W, C K and

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
the domain that we set this on was this domain right here, this mail.

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
D So I'm going to copy it and paste it here.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
I'm going to put the password, which is the same password that I chose when I signed up.

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
And I'm going to click on ADD.

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Now.

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Perfect.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Now I'm actually logged in, as you can see here at the bottom, the circle is green and it says available.

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
This is my status.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So if anybody has added me to their friends list or buddy list, they will see me as available.

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And using this we can set it to a way do not disturb or offline if we want to go offline now this is

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
fine.

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Let's go ahead and add a friend.

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So I'm going to go to buddies.

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm going to click on Add Buddy to add another friend.

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So the first thing it's asking us which account I want to add this friend to.

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
This is our account that we're using right now.

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
So I'm going to keep this the same.

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
If you had multiple accounts, you can click this and select the other account that you want to add

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
your friend to.

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Next, it's asking us for the buddies username, the username of the friend that I want to add.

38
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And I've already set up another account on a different zip server just to show you that you can communicate

39
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
with any zip server with any account.

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
And the other account that I set up is J and wc k to add jabber.

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Dot sys ally dot org.

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So as you can see, this is a completely different server, but we should be able to communicate with

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,000
it.

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
I'm going to add it.

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And if we go to the other account, which is this one right here.

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
So this is another Thales machine that I'm already logged in to the account that I just added to John

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Wick two at Jabber dot system WL dot org.

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And as you can see he got a friend request from my other email which is John Wick at this m.d.

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So I can authorize or deny this and I'm going to authorize it.

50
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I'm going to allow him to add me and I'm going to add him as a friend as well.

51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
So if we go back here, we can see we have John Wick as a friend and we can see there is a green circle

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,000
beside it.

53
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,000
So he's online and if I double click this, let's close this, we will get an instant messaging screen

54
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
again, very similar to what you get in other applications and other instant messengers.

55
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And you can start sending messages.

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
So let's say, hey, let's see if we receive it here.

57
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
As you can see, we got a message here in a new tab from John Wick at this melody.

58
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000
He said, hey, let's say hello back just to test and going back here, as you can see, we got the

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
message back.

60
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Now, before we wrap this up, I want to highlight one more thing.

61
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000
So right now, when we send something through X amp, we are connecting to the Tor network because as

62
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
we know, Thales route everything through the Tor network, then whatever we're sending is exiting the

63
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Tor network to the X NPP server because the x NPP server is on the clear net and then it's relayed to

64
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
the destination.

65
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Now, all of the servers that I showed you offer a hidden service x NTP server.

66
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000
So what happens in that case is we connect to the Tor network and whatever message we send directly

67
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
goes to an x NP server that is running as a hidden service.

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Therefore, it never leaves the Tor network making full use of the privacy and anonymity that the Tor

69
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
network offers.

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Now, to do this, we need to slightly modify the way we configured.

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:14,000
PIDGEON So let's go back to tails and I'm going to go up to the list of the servers and I'm going to

72
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
look for the server that I used, which is this one right here, this mail.

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
D And as you can see, we have the link for its hidden service right here.

74
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
I'm going to copy this.

75
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I'm going to go down to pigeon.

76
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I'm going to sign out of my current account.

77
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I'm going to go to offline and we're going to go to accounts.

78
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
We're going to manage my account and this is the account that we want to modify its server so that we

79
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
connect to the hidden service.

80
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Instead of directly connecting to the clear net server, we're going to click on Modify to modify its

81
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
settings.

82
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And keep in mind we're keeping the basic exactly the way it is.

83
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
We're still using the same username and the same clear net domain because this is our address.

84
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
But what we want to modify is in the advanced tab, which is the Kinect server.

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
So you want to set the server to the hidden service that you want to use as the SNMP server to connect.

86
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
And that's it.

87
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
We're going to click on Save and we're good to go.

88
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
I'm going to close this and I'm going to change my status to available again.

89
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
It's going to ask you for the password.

90
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
We're going to put it on.

91
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Perfect.

92
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
We're back online.

93
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I can see my body right here.

94
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And let's send him another text message.

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And go to his account and perfect.

96
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
As you can see, we got the message from him right here.

97
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000
So as you can see, very simple, very intuitive, very similar to any other messaging app that you

98
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,000
can use.

99
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
The great thing about this is, like I said, it's decentralized so anyone can start their own server.

100
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
There is no one company that controls how this works.

101
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Pidgin comes pre-installed entails.

102
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Therefore you don't need to install any third party programs.

103
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And as we know, tails is amnesic and live and secure enough.

104
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Therefore you're benefiting from all of these features.

105
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
The only problem right now is, as you can see here, it's saying the connection is not private.

106
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
So the communication right now between us two is not private.

107
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Now TLS is used, so there is a layer of encryption, but it's not end to end encryption.

108
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And ideally we want to use end to end encryption.

109
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,000
So the message gets encrypted at my end and it never gets decrypted until it reaches the destination.

110
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So even the server owner or anybody that intercepts this message would not be able to read it because

111
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
it will be encrypted throughout the whole way.

112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
So at the next lecture I'm going to show you how to configure pigeon to use end to end encryption.
