em5, Several statements against direct substitution cypher: 1. The frequency analysis is extremely fast when you have a lot of encrypted data (and BTSync is intended to transfer gigs of data). 2. The computer data is strictly determined (99% of file types have a header, which is totally the same for same file types) which makes frequency analysis even easier. 3. The archived file still have some determined service data - which would be easy subject for attack 4. Keeping in mind that deflation algorithm is very fast - the frequency attack can be done on already archived data. 5. Finally, the AES known to be cryptographically strong, while direct substitution cypher - not. I don't think it is worth to trade security for performance.

tito_j, You did all the steps correctly. The backup folder should not appear in the folders list on your iPhone, only in the folder list on PC. Do you see your iPhone in the devices list on PC?

I also would like to find out what is wrong. The most straightforward way is to collect a process dump (use Task Manager, it has built-in tool for dump collection) and send it to me for analysis. hungarianhc, Please follow this link to get FreeBSD build (it is also in starting post). Unfortunately yes, but we are working on its resolution.

jvavruska, Could you please send me your requests (including request #6 which fails) and the time interval between them? I'll try to repro it in my lab.

ColombianBootloader, Try putting absolute path in "storage_path", when making so - escape the "\" chars with "\\", so in your case that would be something like "C:\\Users\\<username>\\Appdata\\Roaming..." Let me know if it helps.

Hi guys, For now API works only for desktop platforms.

bobi, We've fixed that and the 1.3 version should not wake up the HDDs unless full rescan event timer triggers.

tito_j, I suggest that the very first step "Got a secret" means - you tapped "Enable backup" on your iPhone BTSync and delivered the secret provided by iPhone to PC. If yes - you did it correctly, and there is one peculiarity about the iPhone app - you need to go to settings, privacy and allow BTSync to access your photo gallery. This might be an issue.

Apelsin, You might have a chance to collect debug logs from both your machines? It would really help. Thanks!

Correct. Right.

It is considered to the future releases. No, there is no public bug tracker.

Saving it to file and reading it on the PC after connecting the phone. Pure phone-PC connection capabilities, no special functionality foreseen in BTSync.

19feet, Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Oh, I see what you are saying now. I thought that you mean something else, like GOST28147-89, which is also sort of substitution cipher. There is no much point in such encryption as it is extremely weak and the hack time is measured with seconds for average PC. As for the speed of hardware-accelerated AES - it is pretty much like putting some data in the memory and then reading it (from speed POV).

tito_j, The encryption key is derived from the secret. It is not temporary - you can use it as long as you wish. It is up to you to choose the most secure way to deliver key to the PC: you can send it over secure mail you trust, use a cable to transfer to PC or even type in manually (33 alphanumeric chars are not as long as they seem to be).

Great, looking forward for results.

1.3.80

Konstantin, Unfortunately the "Large amount of files" case is not very well supported by the very OS. If we'll find a good solution for it - we'll implement it. For the WebUI - it is going to be remastered in future to be faster and more convenient.

It is already in the Wishlist AFAIR.

0xdefec, Yes. Please try 1.3.80, BTSync became more friendly towards sleeping HDDs. Make sure you set folder_rescan_interval to larger value to make sure HDDs are not waken up by rescan.

ILay, 1.3 forces user to select folder on ExtSD card in one, designated by google, that is the solution for 1.3. We are looking for ways to overcome Google's limitation and allow backing up ANY folder on Ext SD card.

Konstantin, As I understands, the UI "is not working" in the same way as before: it loads, but shows no dynamic content (folders, upload / download values, etc), correct? If yes, I suggest cleaning up the cookies / trying another browser. If no, could you please elaborate?

Doc Green, I'd like to catch this issue in debug logs, if possible. Please include logs from the peer which is listed twice, and peer which sees it twice. Thanks!

wck, If your office BTSync can't "see" other devices in device list - this is a connectivity issue and it is likely your office admins changed firewall policy. BTSync uses TCP and UDP port 3000 to connect to tracker server, configured port (see preferences) to contact remote peers directly, UPnP / PMP to map ports your PC stays behind the NAT. The fact that PMP failed does not necessary means it is a root cause: it is possible that UPnP succeed, or you just don't use NAT at all.
