Yeah, I know. It was an experiment and you're right, RAR is the way to
go for security. I'm not a fan of passworded posts, in fact
emphatically against them, but considering the recent surge of
Internet anti-porn activity, I thought it the best course of action to
explore secure ways to post publically. I won't use SFE again as it is
more of a home security device than a pass-around. Even PGP is not
secure from what I've heard. There is no fool-proof method but there
are alterntives. Where possible, use a news service that supports SSL
excryption to mask data packets from your ISP, like Giganews
Accellerator Proxy which links to your local machine (127.0.0.1) and
hides your IP address, and keep your computer free of Adware and other
virii that could risk breaching your system.
