• Sharpening an unfocused Pic

  If it's badly out of focus you can use a specialized deblur tool like smartdeblur. The website looks dated but the program is actually amazing, scroll down to the out-of-focus examples. http://smartdeblur.net/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Unredacter: Never ever use pixelation as a redaction technique

  There are tools that can "correct" both Gaussian and motion blur, as an example a car plate from low resolution video stills, example (commercial): http://smartdeblur.net/ before the above the author made a version which was free (but old link is now dead): https://github.com/Y-Vladimir/SmartDeblur/downloads. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to enhance image or video quality to see car plate?

  The biggest problem is when the plate is blurry. Then you can use specialized programs like FocusMagic or SmartDeblur. The second one is like magic sometimes but needs just the right settings via trial and error. Mindblowing examples: http://yuzhikov.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tell HN: Zelensky is blurring -not blanking- sensitive documents in a video

  Smart Deblur[1] is probably one of the best publicly available tools for debluring images like this. It supports a wide array of blur algorithms. I've used it to reverse passwords and identifying details released by security researchers. I was unable to retrieve anything of value from the blurred areas of this image.

  Just so you know: https://grapheneos.org/ and https://signal.org/ do exist! - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 7 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 7 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
