Arresting Henry Kissinger
by Anonymous 21 Aug '01

21 Aug '01

The Village Voice has an article which approaches the question of how to make a citizen's arrest of Henry Kissinger: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0133/ridgeway.php The article is apparently hostile to Kissinger, but plays down the horror and extent of his crimes. Boilerplate excuses are offered. Outrage at murder and kidnapping is curiously absent. "Kissinger was simply a very loyal, opportunist subordinate." -- Daniel Ellsberg Does this exonerate other criminals under our laws? No. Is it the truth? No.

WEP is dead, how's the reception?
by Alfred Qeada 21 Aug '01

21 Aug '01

So WEP is dead, and the following are known: 1. you can drive around a city and sniff data (one ref) 2. folks can point a pair of dishes at each other and do 10 miles w/out extra ampl. (many refs) I'm curious: what range can you intercept 802.11 data with reasonable S:N assuming that the source is *not* cooperating as in 2. above. Lets try to answer this. A 2-m dish could give 30 db? (Damn, used to know that function of wavelength...) How many times the default range does 30 db give? (Damn, 30 dB is probably a power figure? 30 db is 1,000 times... range would be a square of radiated power.. sqrt 1000 is 30 something.. range of 802.11 is probably 100 m? so 3 Km, 1.5 mi with a man-sized fixed dish... too directional to drive with...

Also, most laptops have a VGA connector on the back, which leaks heavily. An external VGA screen might be a bit quieter, because the cables can be shielded, but it still depends on how capable the attacker is. And basically, if the Feds are sitting outside your house listening to whatever they can from your computer, you've already blown your security :-) Shoulda used Blacknet.
