alright, in this video we're going to discuss setting up pigeon with otr.
pigeon is by default installed on tails.
so if you're using tails, it is already ready to go.
so let's switch over to our desktop and take a look at that.
once on the tails desktop, it's pretty easy to find pidgeon.
all you need to do is search in the activity window or look in your applications and you can find it there.
we'll go ahead and launch it really quickly.
when you 1st launch it, it will say welcome and it'll say you have no im accounts configured.
that's no problem.
we'll go ahead and add one.
now we created one earlier.
so we'll select xmpp.
and we'll put in our username, which is just dark web academy.
and it was at jab.
im.
and the password was the password we created when we signed up.
we go ahead and click add.
and assuming everything is correct, you'll see this connecting here and it looks like it is good to go.
and you can see, we even got a chat here from the jab.
im service.
so they say hey, to us.
so you can see that we are working and connected.
so we are good to go.
we have an account we're logged in.
but we want to make sure that we set up otr before we start messaging anyone.
so what we want to do is on the buddy list, we go to tools, and we can go to plugins.
and there's a lot of different plugins in here, but there's a few specific ones we will want to see.
and we're looking for off the record messaging.
so just, you know, it's alphabetical.
so just look that and look at that.
it's already selected, but definitely click on that plugin and click configure to make sure everything is good.
and then for my account, we do have enable private messaging.
we want to automatically initiate private messaging.
and we want to say don't log otr conversations.
and that is it.
we close and we are ready to go.
so now we can actually add other contacts in here.
we want it to message if we want to message someone specifically.
we can even message ourselves if we really wanted to.
but that's really it.
pretty straightforward, pretty easy.
once you've created that xmpp account, you're now ready to go.
and you can do some different things in here.
but that's really it for this video.
you've now set up pigeon with otr.
super easy, super fast.
if you have any questions, of course, let me know.
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
