Too few sampled comments (8) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Krypt3ia is a security blog with technical write-ups, such as IP address analysis in the FBI's North Korea/Sony attribution and data on Trump-linked servers. HN readers link it as a source for those analyses.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussion> And we do need to fight that at each and every turn because until governments get it I read an interesting article somewhat related to this: http://krypt3ia.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/digital-natives-dig... It uses Anonymous and Wikileaks as examples (which you may or may not disagree with), but I'm linking it for the general discussion about a sort of digital generation gap, how the "governing class" of people hasn…

HN discussionThis isn't meant as an attack on the OP, but I have a hard time taking anybody seriously who's using the word "cyber" in such an inflated way. Always reminds me of this: https://twitter.com/sehnaoui/status/643972826802688000 I also think it's quite troublesome how this very real issue, IT security, is being misused to stage yet another "War on something" even if there isn't anything concrete to wage a war on. If the…

HN discussionAt the moment that I'm writing, not one of the ten highest-ranked comments here addresses any of the technical detail or substance in the counterarguments which white hat experts have raised. Bruce Schneier is one of these skeptical experts. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-best-thing-we-can-do-ab... The IP address blog post by Dr Krypt3ia makes the FBI look silly beyond words. http://krypt3ia.wordpress.com/2014…
