>>because almost all the libertarians here are anarchists. I think we are all out of libertarians.(phew!) Fresh air...Aaahh! >>(Except, of course, by your peculiar use of the word "anarchist", whereby an anarchist is some who supports an all powerful state that rules by terror, similar to that which the anarchists of Catalonia wound up implementing.) That is a filthy lie.Last week I urged cypherpunks to compare and contrast the noam chomsky article,"Objectivity and liberal scholarship."with the material jamesd has on display at his website.Also I just reviewed a book on spain at Amazon called "Durutti: The People Armed.if anyones interested.Jamesd is a proven liar on libertarian socialism,communism and anarchism.He seems rational enough on all subjects other than those.No anarchist supports a powerful,or indeed,any state.Jim Bell seems to be the closest thing to a trad anarchist I've seen on this site.The anarcho-capitalists here are fakes,phonies and frauds that are running but they cant hide,I can see the whites of their eyes.Calling ted turner socialist is not peculiar!?

How many images are posted to Usenet every day? I'd say around 50,000 a day, including GIF images and other image file types that we did not look at [1]. Which USENET archive that stores a full feed from the time before steganography suddenly hit the limelight of the press would you use? We had access to a couple of Terra bytes accounting for a few months of Usenet activity. Thats what we looked at. You might have heard that Usenet traffic is mostly for binary data. That is correct but most of the binary traffic is not in images [2]. If you have any suggestions on how to increase the scope of our analysis, I would be glad to hear them. Alternatively, you might conduct a study yourself as I just released most of my tools. It would be interesting to see something more "statistically significant" ;) Regards, Niels Provos.

OpenSSL version 0.9.6c released
by Bodo Moeller 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

OpenSSL version 0.9.6c released =============================== OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS http://www.openssl.org/ The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.6c of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new OpenSSL version is mostly a bugfix release and incorporates at least 40 changes to the toolkit (for a complete list see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES) The most significant changes are: o Various SSL/TLS library bugfixes. o BIGNUM library fixes. o RSA OAEP and random number generation fixes. o Object identifiers corrected and added. o Add assembler BN routines for IA64. o Add support for OS/390 Unix, UnixWare with gcc, OpenUNIX 8, MIPS Linux; shared library support for Irix, HP-UX. o Add crypto accelerator support for AEP, Baltimore SureWare, Broadcom and Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver [in 0.9.6c-engine release]. We consider OpenSSL 0.9.6c to be the best version of OpenSSL available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as soon as possible. OpenSSL 0.9.6c is available for download via HTTP and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html) o http://www.openssl.org/source/ o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/ [1] OpenSSL comes in the form of two distributions this time. The reasons for this is that we want to deploy the external crypto device support but don't want to have it part of the "normal" distribution just yet. The distribution containing the external crypto device support is popularly called "engine", and is considered experimental. It's been fairly well tested on Unix and flavors thereof. If run on a system with no external crypto device, it will work just like the "normal" distribution. The distribution file names are: o openssl-0.9.6c.tar.gz [normal] o openssl-engine-0.9.6c.tar.gz [engine] Yours, The OpenSSL Project Team... Mark J. Cox Richard Levitte Andy Polyakov Ralf S. Engelschall Bodo Möller Holger Reif Dr. Stephen Henson Ulf Möller Geoff Thorpe Ben Laurie Lutz Jänicke --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

book
by Michael Motyka 22 Dec '01

Bought a copy of True Names and read it last night. Great story, especially considering the date. The first net-fi I read was Neuromancer in '84. R. Stallman's Right to Read short story is sickeningly close to reality. I don't care one way or the other if Microsoft patents and creates an OS that does DRM but I do care about having it forced down my throat at the hands of congressvermin and corporations which, as I see it, is practically a certainty. Tim's essay was mostly the familiar stuff, nicely organized and presented. The style was almost academic but I notice he did slip one "spokesvermin" reference in there. So, Tim, we seem to have raced closer if not past the fork in the road, especially since September. Recalling Yogi Berra's "when you come to the fork in the road, take it", have we taken it? And if so which path? The fork analogy may be too simple. The natural path for a vital culture is the crypto-anarchist path. The path of increasing state control is the natural path for the maintenance and accumulation of power. We all see the forces in operation, it's pretty much the topic 24/7. I think the forces that bind this mess together increase with distance, the more free the net becomes the greater the perceived threat and the desire to reign it in. The tighter the controls the greater the desire to break free. On each side there are those for whom compromise is unacceptable. In the middle are the nearly oblivious masses who can with varying degrees of success be swayed one way or the other from time to time. Fear seems to be their main motivator. Rather than making a choice and following any single path we are following two concurrent and divergent paths and the energy level is increasing. We are headed for a period of escalation. It's definitely a new 'War on Drugs' scenario, just as dangerous, just as futile and just as sustainable. Mike

America Psycho
by mattd 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

COURT-KNAPPING In America, more than 1,200 people have so far been held in connection with the attacks on September 11th - most because of the colour of their skin. The majority of those arrested have nothing to do with terrorism, but have been jailed for minor visa violations that normally would be ignored. Take Ali Al-Maqtari, a Yemeni immigrant who spent eight weeks in jail. Al-Maqtari told the Senate Judiciary Committee about being interrogated for 12 hours, lied to by the FBI, accused of beating his wife, then locked up unable to contact his wife or solicitors. All because his wife wore a head scarf to a recruiting centre when she enlisted in the Army, spoke in a foreign language (French), and because soldiers found box cutters and New York City postcards in their car. Or what about Samir Khalaf, a Palestinian who worked at a gas station in Connecticut. He went to the hospital with chest pains on Sept. 12. People thought he was acting suspicious. They called the police, who called the FBI. After his emergency operation, the Feds took him - against doctors' advice - to jail. There he remained, charged with failure to get a work permit. However, he was in the country legally and was quickly cleared of terrorism suspicion and an immigration judge ruled at the beginning of October that he could go home. But then the Immigration and Naturalization Service wouldn't let him go until November. Michael Boyle, solicitor for Al-Maqtari, told the US Senate meeting discussing the Department of Justice actions that these aren't isolated incidents, but are "part of a pattern of excessive detention and disrespect for the rights of non-citizens." The war on terrorism has become a war on people - if you're the wrong colour, have the wrong views, or are merely in the wrong place at the wrong time, then you better watch out because you could potentially be the next terrorist. * Coalition Against the Terrorism Act c/o Haldane Society, Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL Tel: 0845 458 2966 http://go.to/ta2000 * Read full story of America's detainees on www.alternet.org
