Scrub addresses before logging them MAC, IP and onion addresses are now scrubbed before logging to ensure we don't leave any sensitive information in plaintext on the device or send it in crash reports or feedback. * Bluetooth MAC addresses keep the first and last octets * IPv4 addresses keep the first and last octets * IPv6 addresses should be scrubbed completely (couldn't test) * Onion addresses keep the first three characters If an address is invalid it will not be scrubbed to enable debugging, because it is most likely not sensitive. Closes #592 See merge request !290
Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
