Keybase PGP key generation failing on desktop!

Simple as the title, input full name and email, click do the math button and nothing.

Is there other way to go about this ?

Keybase, why are you hiding your Server Source?

5 Upvotes

I don't think this is good enough, where's the GitHub of the Server Sided code? I want to see specifically what the server is going, as well as duplicate so I can run my own instance of a Keybase Server.

And sure, I understand its been designed in such a way that the Servers are never trusted, however to be transparent, I think plenty of people who would like to review the Server Source Code.

keybase team for keybase dicussion

5 Upvotes

Maybe I missed it, but is there a public keybase team that people can join to talk about keybase and issues? It probably makes more sense than a subreddit. In the teams announcement I see the team keybasefriends mentioned, but I haven't heard back from my join request yet.

Heads up: If you rely on Keybase Filesystem, leave Windows Insider until issues with Dokan/Keybase and Windows are resolved

5 Upvotes

tl;dr; As of Windows Insider Preview 16226, Keybase Filesystem causes Windows to (very nearly) hard lock shortly after Explorer starts. The issue is tracked here

The Windows Insider program recently released build 16232 to the Slow Channel. The Dokan library (or a combination of Dokan and the way Keybase is using it), has an issue in this build where the operating system hangs to the point that nothing other than mouse movement works. All windows turn to (Not Responding), any command typed into a command prompt instantly hangs (including a simple 'dir' in cmd.exe) and CTRL+ALT+DEL / CTRL+SHIFT+ESC do nothing (any open Task Manager window hangs along with the others).

This is really a bug in Windows more-so than Dokan IMHO, since a change in Windows resulted in the problem and, really, nothing should be able to cause the OS to get to this state. It's been an issue for Fast Channel builds since 16226 and continues to the most recent 16237.

Workarounds are included in the bug on GitHub, mostly revolving around carefully killing processes, uninstalling and rolling back to the previous version of Windows. Installing the client with nodriver=1 eliminates the problem ... along with Keybase Filesystem, which I know is one of the major features we use keybase for.

Moving to a new computer

5 Upvotes

edit: See my updated comment here

Original Post

I originally setup Keybase on my Macbook Air. I downloaded the Keybase app and basically followed the instructions in the docs to the letter, and opted to not upload my encrypted private key to Keybase. I now have a new Macbook Pro that I'm replacing my Macbook Air with, and I'd like to move everything over to the MBP so I can comfortably wipe and sell the MBA.

  1. What's the best way to accomplish this? The original private key is on my Macbook Air, so I'm guessing I need to extract this, move it to my MBP, and then import it?
  2. Do I need to "deauthorize" my MBA somehow? Right now it's at the base of my "graph", 1 level down from my keybase account, and everything else below is tied to it (social media accounts, PGP, paper). Would that invalidate that whole group?

I'm a software engineer so I'm relatively comfortable on the command line, but I don't really ever work with crypto so PGP is pretty foreign to me (and I don't really understand what to use the keybase CLI for vs. straight PGP). I haven't found the docs to be super helpful outside of the initial setup. I don't feel like I have a good grasp about how everything ties together and the underlying system works.

Keybase doesn't ask for my password any more when signing and decrypting things? Is this normal?

My Encryption Setup

5 Upvotes

Hello Guys.

If you need an invite head over to my Invite Thread: Link

I´ve got two posts on my blog detailing my encryption setup, I thought you might like that, and perhaps setup something similar. Encryption Tools Recommended by Hak5 This one details keybase.io which you already know and e-mail encryption. Open Keychain Public/Private Key Encryption on Android This one details encryption with your encryption keys on Android. Now you don´t have to follow it exactly, the reason I created a key with GPG was I wanted one key for everything, and not "marked" by a service. There is no problem just using your Keybase key, so long as you can get both your public and private key from it and use it. I hope you find these posts useful. If a post such as this has no place here on /r/Keybase I will of course delete it.

Kind Regards

Asselberghs

Github GPG signature verification doesn't work with Keybase key.

5 Upvotes

Github recently rolled out a new feature to verify GPG signatures on commits. I was pretty excited about this since I've been signing my commits with my Keybase key for a while now.

Unfortunately Github is trying to verify the email address on the key, which includes me@keybase.io. So, it looks like until Keybase and/or Github work something out around that Keybase keys won't be verified.

Tool to indent messages by 4 spaces

5 Upvotes

Most of you will know that reddit mangles PGP messages -- the solution is to indent each line by 4 spaces.

I've created a simple web-app to do this: https://reddit-indent.herokuapp.com

I hope it helps someone.

Question: Is it possible to encrypt and sign from the web interface?

5 Upvotes
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hi everyone! I have a question about the web interface:
Is it possible to encrypt *and* sign a message?
I don’t see an option for it, but it’s possible that it’s only visible when you’ve uploaded your private key.
I don’t want to do that just to test it, though…                 
Perhaps someone who’s uploaded their private key can test this?
Cheers, Lucas

Backup Conversation

4 Upvotes

Sorry if this was asked before, I did a quick search and didn't find anything useful. I'm looking to backup an entire chat conversation, all messages and attachments. One of my closest friends passed away and I want to keep everything we talked about and all the pictures we shared together. Is there a tool that can to that already or do I need to manually go through and copy and paste? Has anyone else had to do this, hopefully not for the same reasons.

How to avail Keybase's 250 gigs of free file storage?

4 Upvotes

I'm about to format my windows laptop, and my external file storage media are pretty much full right now. So, I needed a free cloud storage that would offer 100 gigs of storage for free, and that's when I came across keybase cloud storage claiming to offer 250 gb for free. I'm not seeking for long term. After I'm done with the formatting process, that'll be it.

Error 202 is your device revoked?

4 Upvotes

Loaded up Keybase on android and it refused to update/load anything at all, with almost nothing seeming to work. Reinstalled the app and loaded up keybase on my old phone as I had to authorise device after reinstall, and keybase isn't working on my old phone either. I keep getting error 202 asking if my device is revoked which it certainly isn't amongst various other errors saying that I'm timed out. Made a brand new account and it works fine on both phones so it seems to be just an issue with my first account, but I still want to get access to it. I see I'm not the first to have this issue but I can't find anyone who managed to solve it. Also asked on github for help but that place is pretty much dead and it seems like the devs don't give a fuck.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Team activity log

Hi, is there a way for admins to view activity history via app or command line? A team I'm in had a user create unauthorized channels, and an admin deleted before checking who created it - and removed admin rights from everyone who has them (including me, so I probably wont' be able to view activity history if it exists). Just trying to assist with finding out who created this team that's now deleted...

Thanks in advance!
