Operation soft drill has a pool of 2$ on richard Armitage.He's suddenly MIA and some quad anon has made a prediction that he's dead.No evidence is presented yet the predictor says they have proof.Is this a set up? Will the great white porker reappear? His 'dad' says he's just gone drinking at the Buda-bing. The proof of death problem.A prediction is made yet the deaths in dispute.To save paying on the installment plan a trusted agent might be hired by predictor, The agent has to provide security to the designated pool authority. Also some locating and identifying identification that stays in remailing motion for several years as insurance. Regular sting and drug tests to avoid corruption,also cross country support where ever possible aiming for zero knowledge.Something better than the LAPD lab's required.The trusted agent would have to provide state of the art forensic coroners,skills inc DNA as that would be the gold standard.www.yourdead.com is an extraneous layer to the most simple and optimal KISS solution,yet its one that has other uses in a world more concerned with human rights,crimes against humanity and accountability technology every day. f0(x) = a0 +a1 x+ <+ am-1 xm-1 is the polynomial over GF(q) is constructed, and the evidence of death,dna sequence generally, is a0. From the beginning, each user has a point (xi, f0(xi)) with xi 9 0. For the first key refreshment, a new polynomial f1 is constructed from f0. More generally, for the kth key refreshment, a polynomial fk+1 is constructed from fk. The polynomial fk+1 is equal to fk + gk, where gk is a random (m-1)-degree polynomial with gk(0) = 0. After each key refreshment the secret is unchanged, but user i's new secret share is (xi, fk+1(xi)) = (xi, fk(xi) + gk(xi)). An adversary who knows less than m current secret shares at any particular time knows nothing about the evidence.Thanks to RSA for the maths.Kill the president.proffr1@elf

RE: CNN.com on Remailers
by mattd 17 Dec '01

>>something similar to 'innocent until proven innocent'. > That's the only defence against 'conspiracy'. >> Typical Choate, missing the point. A remailer simply gets sent a message, applies it's decryption key, and sends the contents on to the next address (yes, this type of remailer does not include nice features such as cover traffic). It has no idea if the address it received the message from is a remailer. It has no idea if the address it forwarded the message to is a remailer. It doesn't need to. Chaining is the sender's problem. The point here is that the remailer treats other remailers exactly as it treats source and destination nodes. There is no file on the remailer which says "I'll treat hosts from this list specially". This prevents the remop from having to worry about being sucked into a conspiracy charge for a crime commited by a different remop. He doesn't know, need to know, or want to know what other sites are remailers. He doesn't need to know the other remops, or communicate with them, except to inform the world (not just remops) that 'there is a remailer here." Peter Trei Oh ye of little faith ,jimmy,jimmy,jimmy.What of the old soft drill attack as the BEST defence? Peter knows all about section 25,paragraph 18.-"need to know." Thats the beauty of open conspiracy ,operation soft drill,as well and all. One other thing choaty,please dont drag that nasty creep matt drudge in here,he's stinkin up the page more than Tim on a bad day. Thanks mate,see ya.yr cobra professor rat.

Tarring everyone here with such a broad brush hardly seems appropriate. Just a quick reminder: you're as much "here" as anyone else is, even if you have fooled yourself into feeling a false sense of distance behind that remailer of yours. So unless you see yourself as "unsavory and immoral", you might understand how some people here could be interested in an apology. Or at the very least an explicit clarification. More to the point, I think the parole officers were probably as interested in depriving CJ of a stage as anything else. Maybe he isn't as florid or likely to act out if he doesn't have an audience to egg him on. Where else is he going to connect with people who think there's anything more to his case than just that of another pathetic garden-variety washed-up lunatic? If he ever finds such a place, they'll probably ban it too. It could be purely punitive, but I think the encouragement factor is worth considering. ~Faustine. *** He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies.

FBI wants worm's keycapture data
by Khoder bin Hakkin 17 Dec '01

http://www.dailyrotten.com/articles/archive/189387.html December 17, 2001 FBI wants access to worm's pilfered data A ROTTEN.COM EXCLUSIVE The FBI is asking for access to a massive database that contains the private communications and passwords of the victims of the Badtrans Internet worm. Badtrans spreads through security flaws in Microsoft mail software and transmits everything the victim types. Since November 24, Badtrans has violated the privacy of millions of Internet users, and now the FBI wants to take part in the spying. Victims of Badtrans are infected when they receive an email containing the worm in an attachment and either run the program by clicking on it, or use an email reader like Microsoft Outlook which may automatically run it without user intervention. Once executed, the worm replicates by sending copies of itself to all other email addresses found on the host's machine, and installs a keystroke-logger capable of stealing passwords including those used for telnet, email, ftp, and the web. Also captured is anything else the user may be typing, including personal documents or private emails. Coincidentally, just four days before the breakout of Badtrans it was revealed that the FBI was developing their own keystroke-logging virus, called Magic Lantern. Made to complement the Carnivore spy system, Magic Lantern would allow them to obtain target's passwords as they type them. This is a significant improvement over Carnivore, which can only see data after it has been transmitted over the Internet, at which point the passwords may have been encrypted. After Badtrans pilfers keystrokes the data is sent back to one of twenty-two email addresses (this is according to the FBI-- leading anti-virus vendors have only reported seventeen email addresses). Among these are free email addresses at Excite, Yahoo, and IJustGotFired.com. IJustGotFired is a free service of MonkeyBrains, a San Francisco based independent Internet Service Provider. In particular, suck_my_prick(a)ijustgotfired.com began receiving emails at 3:23 PM on November 24. Triggering software automatically disabled the account after it exceeded quotas, and began saving messages as they arrived. The following day, MonkeyBrains' mail server was sluggish. Upon examination of the mail server's logs, it quickly became apparent that 100 emails per minute to the "suck_my_prick" alias were the source of the problem. The mails delivered the logged keystrokes from over 100,000 compromised computers in the first day alone. Last week the FBI contacted the owner of MonkeyBrains, Rudy Rucker, Jr., and requested a cloned copy of the password database and keylogged data. The database includes only information stolen from the victims of the virus, not information about the perpetrator. The FBI wants indiscriminant access to the illegally extracted passwords and keystrokes of over two million people without so much as a warrant. Even with a warrant they would have to specify exactly what information they are after, on whom, and what they expect to find. Instead, they want it all and for no justifiable reason. One of the most basic tenets of an authoritarian state is one that claims rights for itself that it denies its citizens. Surveillance is perhaps one of the most glaring examples of this in our society. Accordingly, rather than hand over the entire database to the FBI, MonkeyBrains has decided to open the database to the public. Now everyone (including the FBI) will be able query which accounts have been compromised and search for their hostnames. Password and keylogged data will not be made available, for obvious legal reasons. The implications of complying with the FBI's request, absent any legal authority, are staggering. This is information that no one, not even the FBI, could legally gather themselves. The fact that they seek to take advantage of this worm and benefit from its illicit spoils, demonstrates the FBI's complete and utter contempt for constitutionally mandated due process and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. It defies reason that the FBI expects the American people to trust them to only look at certain permissible nuggets of data and ignore the rest of what they collect. One need only imagine what J. Edgar Hoover would do with today's expansive surveillance system, coupled with the new powers granted by the Patriot Act, to appreciate the Orwellian nightmare that the United States is becoming. The last thing the FBI should have is a spying Internet worm, and it looks like they've found one. Welcome to the Magic Lantern.

>>...He pled guilty, agreeing to a plea bargain There are numerous examples of the plea bargain cosh being bought down heavily on an innocent person. Its routinely abused as was seen at mike moores sisters home town story on"The awful truth" By betraying such ignorance of oppression/repression in practise you've earned my consignment to cornhole corner. Squeal like a pig! "Theoretically, because violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 have been included in the terrorism crackdown, hackers and spammers could be sentenced to life in prison."

>>The prime goal of any legal system is to maximize number of criminals. I'm sure that search of JYA's premises would yield enough stuff for a 100-year sentence, excluding any controlled substances. Each copy of a software program that cannot be substantiated with purchase receipt: 5 years. That incorrect 1998 IRS return where he forgot to include $100 that >>Gordon paid for cryptome CD: 10 years. Im sure too that were that to happen,cryptomes,cypherpunks and OSDs clickthroughs could take off.It would be a great sign we were on to something.I mean we all know AP is a cheap laugh,washed up,garden variety lunatics like JGordon take it seriously.BWAAHAHAHAH! The prime goal of OSD will be to minimize the number of criminals starting by putting jeff out of his misery.(my 0.02c) Say goodbye to joshua.KILLTHEPRESIDENTTHEVICEPRESIDENTANTHRAXALLGOVT!
