Hello, - You get emails every day, offering to show you how to make money. Most of these emails are from people who are NOT making any money. And they expect you to listen to them? Enough. If you want to make money with your computer, then you should hook up with a group that is actually DOING it. We are making a large, continuing income every month. What's more - we will show YOU how to do the same thing. This business is done completely by internet and email, and you can even join for free to check it out first. If you can send an email, you can do this. No special "skills" are required. How much are we making? Anywhere from $2000 to $9000 per month. We are real people, and most of us work at this business part-time. But keep in mind, we do WORK at it - I am not going to insult your intelligence by saying you can sign up, do no work, and rake in the cash. That kind of job does not exist. But if you are willing to put in 10-12 hours per week, this might be just the thing you are looking for. This is not income that is determined by luck, or work that is done FOR you - it is all based on your effort. But, as I said, there are no special skills required. And this income is RESIDUAL - meaning that it continues each month (and it tends to increase each month also). Interested? I invite you to find out more. You can get in as a free member, at no cost, and no obligation to continue if you decide it is not for you. We are just looking for people who still have that "burning desire" to find an opportunity that will reward them incredibly well, if they work at it. To grab a FREE ID#, simply reply to <mailto:hash913@hotmail.com?subject=Grab-me-a-free- mambership!> and in the body of the email, write this phrase: "Grab me a free membership!" Be sure to include your: 1. First name 2. Last name 3. Email address (if different from above) We will confirm your position and send you a special report as soon as possible, and also Your free Member Number. That's all there's to it. We'll then send you info, and you can make up your own mind. Looking forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Hisham Albuflaseh hash913(a)hotmail.com HERE P.S. After having several negative experiences with network marketing companies I had pretty much given up on them. This is different - there is value, integrity, and a REAL opportunity to have your own home-based business... and finally make real money on the internet. Don't pass this up..you can sign up and test- drive the program for FREE. All you need to do is get your free membership. Unsubscribing: Send a blank <mailto:hash913@hotmail.com?subject=REMOVE> "Remove" in the subject line.

Theres no huge explosion associated with its employment, there are no pieces and parts left behind that someone can analyze to say, this came from the United States, explains an unnamed Lockheed Martin official quoted in Aviation Week and Space Technology in July. The damage is localized, and it is hard to tell where it came from and when it happened. It is all pretty mysterious. http://www.inthesetimes.com/issue/26/24/news1.shtml Maybe we'll drop a Tarot card with Uncle Sam on it? http://www.counterpunch.org/stanton1005.html: Coincidental, no doubt, but one day after Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer's comment on putting a bullet into the sovereign ruler of Iraq's head, five US citizens in a suburb of Washington, DC, lost their lives in just that manner

The point here is that larger organizations with decryption capabilities probably do not think on the message-by-message level very often, just like credit card companies and insurance agencies deal with their customers in statistical buckets.

OK, let's assume for the same of argument that it takes about 1 minute for Echelon/NSA-like resources to break a weakly encypted lotus notes message. And then let's assume that there's a whole LOT of these machines sitting somewhere. And as the grumpy Tim May has suggested, perhaps only a small fraction of encrypted messages are (or can be) sent for decryption. Then the expenditure of such resources is going to be a big statistical optimization problem, akin to that faced in the credit card industry (eg, in approving or declining a POS transaction). The gub'mint or whatever doing such monitoring will therefore probably look for certain signs that will kick off decryption. For instance, the sporadic use of cryptography in cetain demogrpahic areas might cause a % of those to be sent over for routine check, particularly if there is no encryption used by that populace, and then all of a sudden there are bursts. Also, changing the strength of encryption might be a kickoff, but again I reveal I am a newbie with this question: Is it possible to determine (at least approximately) the strength of encryption of an intercepted message? Then, if someone from, say, the b'Arbes neighborhood of Paris moves suddenly from weak to strong encryption in his messaging, that would kick off a flag somewhere sending that message for cracking. So if a bin Laden were smart, he should routinely use encryption for all of his messages, even the most trivial, because the change in pattern would be a tipoff to send his encrypted messages for hacking. And the there are probably less obvious, large-scale statistical patterns indicating something's up, and causing a % of such messages to be hacked and then sent for routine check for key words. >From: Adam Back <adam(a)cypherspace.org> >To: Tyler Durden <camera_lumina(a)hotmail.com> >CC: DaveHowe(a)gmx.co.uk, cypherpunks(a)lne.com >Subject: Re: Echelon-like... >Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 20:41:21 +0100 > >Sounds about right. 64 bit crypto in the "strong" version (which is >not that strong -- the distributed.net challenge recently broke a 64 >bit key), and in the export version 24 of those 64 bits were encrypted >with an NSA backdoor key, leaving only 40 bits of key space for the >NSA to bruteforce to recover messages. > >The NSA's backdoor public key is at the URL below. > > http://www.cypherspace.org/~adam/hacks/lotus-nsa-key.html > >(The public key had an Organization name of "MiniTruth", and a Common >Name of "Big Brother" -- both Orwell "1984" references, presumably by >a lotus programmer). > >Adam > >On Thu, Oct 10, 2002 at 02:34:38PM -0400, Tyler Durden wrote: > > "I assume everyone knows the little arrangement that lotus > > reached with the NSA over its encrypted secure email?" > > > > I'm new here, so do tell if I am wrong.
