GitHub - i3T4AN/Yaktrace: YakTrace reveals when multiple Yik Yak posts were made by the same anonymous account and organizes them into a local PDF dossier. Built on the sidechat.js API project.

I completely agree. That’s why I released it. Yikyak doesn’t care about safety or vulnerability management. So I made a tooled release so instead of kicking the ice cube under the fridge, they’ll implement my proposed mitigation which would protect student safety from a deanonymizing attack.
Yup Exactly! It just does it on a mass scale, and to every user in a community. Because it creates a state change in the DB, it’s measurable and you can extrapolate through differential analysis between captured DBs. I have a proposed fix in the repo, that would protect student safety and the ability to block/hide posts, but in a way that doesn’t create that change state that can be measured.
You’re missing the distinction between identity disclosure and authorship correlation. YakTrace links posts made by the same anonymous account across weeks of activity. Once those posts are grouped, identifying details can be pieced together. You don’t need someone’s name handed to you for their anonymity to be compromised. Why are you so bitchmade lol?
You’re still confusing anonymity with the absence of a name or email. The vulnerability links posts from the same account, allowing people to piece together identifying details across weeks of activity. That’s the entire point. And yes, the project is open source. No pull request to change the name yet, though, so I guess it stays.
You’re confusing responsible disclosure with permanent silence. I reported the vulnerability privately, waited the full 90-day disclosure period, and received no response. Public disclosure after that window is an established industry practice. Stop tarding out and familiarize yourself with coordinated vulnerability disclosure before lecturing me.
Oh my god. Who cares if you can group messages together. IT DOESNT REVEAL YOUR NAME OR NUMBER.. anything of the sorts. It just groups them together. You already cant provide any identifying information. You are a loser if you have weeks and weeks of freetime to track someones activity. YOU are the problem because YOU are a bozo loser
I get paid over 120k between my job and my work as a security analyst with a few different bug bounty programs from Apple to cellebrite and most firms in between, and you’re arguing with me for whatever reason instead of enjoying your Sunday. Why not touch some grass, and take a nap? When my kid gets cranky that’s what I do to settle him 🫶
“Judge Nathan, For a long time, I wanted to erase from my mind the crimes that Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein committed against me and pretend they hadn’t happened. Beyond my initial description to my boyfriend and family of what occurred when I was with them in New Mexico, I didn’t talk about it for years. It was the type of dark memory that feels safest to keep locked away, and so I did the best I could.”
In recent years, I have been asked repeatedly to describe these crimes to law enforcement and the media, and I have learned heartbreaking details about the ways Maxwell and Epstein abused and exploited so many others. Focusing on these experiences that I tried so hard to avoid thinking about has forced me to acknowledge the many ripple effects of their crimes for myself and my family and the continued impact of these long-ago events on my life.
Yeah. And I don’t disagree with him, the names fucked lol. That’s why I changed it to yaktrace, I just kept it there for the pdf generation for the bit. But he got me fucked up thinking I’ll go out of my way to fix it after throwing a tantrum like that. My 2 year old is better behaved than that 😂
