Is there an UNDERlawyered.com? WARNING 9TH Circus Federal Court !!! PUBLIC DEFENDER MALFEASANCE !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be aware that Seattle Attorney GENE GRANTHAM has a documented history of accusations from clients of deliberate malfeasance and collusion with federal prosecutors in the railroading of his clients and denial of their constitutional and civil rights. There is clear evidence on the Court Record (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CARL JOHNSON NO. CR98-5393RJB) of the 9th Circus Federal Court refusing to investigate Uncle Gene Granthams moral turpitude, even in the face of revelations that he is known to touch himself when clients describe the cruelty and physical abuse they are subjected to after having him forced upon them by the court and even confirmation in public internet forums of his moral turpitude and penchant for sick and sadistic bondage and subjugation activities, as evidenced below: August guestbook entries Dear Artemis I am 20 years old and has a boyfriend that likes tieing women up.. My boyfriend has duct taped my hands behind my back and taped my legs together. He pulls down my thong and puts a dildo in my pussy. I am screeming my lungs out and he gags me with a ball gag. He is now starting to mumify me in duct tape. HHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!! Jennifer - Monday, August 27, 2001 at 11:46:10 (CDT) The site is terrific. Gene <Gmgrantham(a)aol.com> - Monday, August 20, 2001 at 11:26:57 (CDT) (Source: Artemis Antone's Guestbook - ArtemisBound.com) It is a matter of the 9th Circus Federal Court Record that Grantham has been afforded the protection of the Court while acting as a bag-man and willing shill for federal prosecutorsafter being forced upon clients against their will he proceeds to clandestinely arrange for denial of his clients constitutional rights to such things as bail hearings, their right to view the evidence against them, and their right to control their defense. In one case alone, Grantham is shown, by both the Court Record and his own public statements, to have lost evidence crucial to his clients defense, as well as having falsely claimed to have lost documentation proving federal assistant prosecutor Rob Londons unethical and criminal malfeasance against his client (evidence which is nonetheless fully available today due to Granthams incompetence in hiding it), suppressed evidence sent to him at the clients request by other attorneys, and even knowingly allowed his client to proceed to trial and subsequently be convicted despite the client having been found incompetent in the only competency hearing conducted in the case. THE 9TH CIRCUS COURT OF APPEALS WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE COLLUSION BETWEEN FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AND GRANTHAM, NO MATTER HOW GRIEVOUS THE CONSTITUTIONAL ABUSES INVOLVED GRANTHAM IS GOVERNMENT PROPERTYOWNED LOCK, STOCK & BARREL

16 Aug '02

Older Features | Newswire | Publish | Links | About U.S. - MEXICO: NO ONE IS ILLEGAL Aug 15 2002 'Borderhack!' Hits San Diego and Tijuana Borderhack! forms part of the 'No one is illegal' chain of bordercamps, which have been held on various national borders throughout Europe since 1998. From August 16-18, a camp will be established in Tijuana, Mexico next to the border fence. The event will include a campground on the beach, conferences, expositions of photography, digital art, documentaries, and interactive multimedia. The festival will also operate online, transmitting live video feeds, net radio, website updates. A similar camp titled 'Una festival de resistencia contra la frontera' examining similar issues will be held at the same time in Nogales, Sonora and Arizona. In San Diego County, the INS and the U.S. Border Patrol are planning to complete the final stages of a three-tiered fence at the U.S.-Mexico border. The fence would run from the ocean eastward destroying environmental and cultural resources. In addition to the borderhack! festival, numerous groups are calling attention to border issues, including the Southwest Alliance to Resist Militarization. Further coverage on these issues can be found in the July26 and July 21 features on the bordercamp in Strasbourg, and the June 7 feature on the No Border movement.

RE: employment market for applied cryptographers?

Having devoted security personnel is a low priority at most companies. General engineers will be tasked with figuring out how to incorporate "security" and cryptography into products. I have visited many a company where I am talking to a room full of very sharp engineers, but there is a fundamental lack of understanding of cryptographic primitives and their applications (let alone high-level protocols using those primitives). At large companies, having a few strong security engineers that can provide support to the various engineering areas should be a norm (if anything, from a liability perspective). At small companies, having security engineers who are also capable of general engineering is a good balance. It seems lately that neither is occurring, but this will probably correct itself as security becomes a military/gov't-demanded->(bank-demanded->)corporate-demanded->consumer-d emanded feature. Of note, in my (Washington DC Metro) area there has been plenty of demand for cryptographic/information assurance/security engineers. -Andrew PS One (vague) example of the blunders that occur... A friend of mine worked for a company and wanted me to meet a few of their engineers. We started talking about cryptography and the engineers told me a story. It seemed that this company had wanted to add encryption to their communications products and some engineers were tasked with building this feature. These engineers did some digging and they discovered asymmetric and symmetric cryptography. Since asymmetric cryptography seemed "better," they decided to use it (RSA algorithm) to encrypt/decrypt the traffic. (Bad idea.) (of note, this was eventually changed to using a public key-based key exchange of symmetric keys. These symmetric keys were then used by a symmetric algorithm to encrypt/decrypt the traffic. I do not know the details of the protocol used or if it was standards-based.) Using this example, bringing on a (probably contract) "cryptographic security engineer" would have saved a great deal of time and effort.

TCPA hack delay appeal
by AARG! Anonymous 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

It seems that there is (a rather brilliant) way to bypass TCPA (as spec-ed.) I learned about it from two separate sources, looks like two independent slightly different hacks based on the same protocol flaw. Undoubtedly, more people will figure this out. It seems wise to suppress the urge and craving for fame and NOT to publish the findings at this time. Let them build the thing into zillion chips first. If you must, post the encrypted time-stamped solution identifying you as the author but do not release the key before TCPA is in many, many PCs.

Counter-attack scenarios on the net.
by Matthew X 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

ChowderHett...>>PS: I think we're going to *need* counter-attack scenarios on the net. Like Whit Diffie said, "infowar" will be fought between businesses. Governments are too slow, and not, paradoxically, nearly ubiquitous enough to do the job. All we need is bearer cash, :-), and, someday, machines even can handle it themselves... << Plane murder will happen...again...soon...real soon.The homeland einsatztgruppen can seize all the tweezers and nailclippers they like and burn them in the town square,(insert inane smiley emoticon for the sake of our boston readers.) Plane murder will happen again. Give every cleartrust TM citizen a fucking stinger and IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. More beans mr Hettinger? I think you've had enough. Where oh where is,after all these stale wasted years is bearer cash? Is that a smile :) or a twisted grimace? Whit Diffie's goin' to save us? WTF are you smoking? Has anyone called david Chaum lately? Witless difucker is head of security for,"you have no privacy get over it,yes I donate republican," SUN for fucks sake. The best defence has been and always will be OFFENCE.Sun Tzu style OFFENCE! It has been available here in this archive since 1996.Whit fucking shittie diffie,the sell out motherfucker is helping pTrei and others build the GOLDEN SHIELD. Infowar requires INFOWARRIORS,like bell,CJ and (my trials on s11.)me. rvroman may be the 4th man.
