MitM Flaw in Bitchat: Identity Is a Bitchat Challenge

[zith]

I guess "don't roll your own crypto" is as valid as ever.

bitchat has a trivial MITM flaw with the favorite's identity system. i wrote up my thoughts around vibe coding cryptographic security and rolling a new protocol

[NitpickLawyer]

Are there any tell-tale signs of vibecoding in the code base? Or are we at the point where we're using it as a pejorative for bad code?

I'll stick with Briar, thanks.

Sounds like a feature and not a bug. 'Secure' but with enough holes for three letter agencies.
