GET HOOKED ON CRYPTOSTORM
For Windows users, we recommend using our widget available at https://cryptostorm.is/setup.exe
For non-widget users, before you can use your token you must calculate the sha512 hash of it.
For your convenience, we've got a sha512 calculator right here.
If you prefer to use OpenVPN GUI, or are using OpenVPN directly on the command-line, then you'll need our OpenVPN config files available on GitHub
For instructions on any other method (NetworkManager, Tunnelblick, routers, etc.), there are tutorials for each of them on the forum.
SHA512 Calculator
- Uses jsSHA 1.3 by Brian Turek (jssha.sourceforge.net).
- Take the above result from the Hash field and use it as username in your OpenVPN window. Password can be left blank. I know, right?!
- This calculates your token's hash client side (using Javascript in your fave browser) so—in theory—your token will never get 'on the wires' and thus will never be seen by others.
- This obviously requires Javascript (which is sort of the point as it keeps things on your PC as opposed to out on the wires where the NSA or whoever can scrape them off of the interwebs) so if you're using Noscript or have Javascript turned off you're pretty much better off using other methods for getting your hash. Sorry.
{protip: there's some rogue intermediate (& maybe root) CA signing (SSL & code) certs floating around out there. shows up in the usual malware, in some #komodia malware authority chains, & in "VPN service" installers w/ embedded MiTM proxies. we're trying to get results ready to publish; if you can pitch in, stop by #fishycerts on github. it's important stuff. thanks ~ ðørkßöt}
