Raise the Fist Webmaster pleads guilty
by Duncan Frissell 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

RTF Webmaster Pleads Guilty RTF Webmaster to be Convicted on Monday, Sept 23rd Raisethefist.com, Sherman Austin will be convicted on Monday, Sept 23rd as he pleads guilty to felony count: 18 U.S.C. 842 (p)(2)(A): DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO EXPLOSIVES, DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES, AND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WITH THE INTENT THAT SUCH INFORMATION BE USED IN FURTHERANCE OF A FEDERAL CRIME OF VIOLENCE. The plea bargain gives Austin a felony conviction with 1 month in jail, 5 months in a half-way home and 3 years supervised release. Austin does not start his sentencing on Monday, but will find out the exact date at his court appearance. The arraignment is at the downtown federal building in Los Angeles on 255 east temple on the 3rd floor at 8:30am Another one of those unfortunate chicken defendants we seem to get. He would have got a max of 4-5 at trial. So now he has a felony conviction anyway plus endless parole supervision which gives the Feds way too much control over you. And he gives up a chance to challenge the "Publish Bomb Plans" go to jail law. If you go to trial and lose and do your time you are then free of supervision. Plus you never admitted any crime. A plea is an admission. When you are in custody, your cooperation is the only thing you can deny your captors.

Initiatives - vigilante politics is for everyone!!!
by YouMakeMoney 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

THIS BOOK IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND!!! THE FIX, by David R. Myrland Every politically aware or politically active American should have this collection of initiatives, written by an analyst and researcher with remarkable insight and talent. For legal professionals and laypersons alike - a peaceful way to take the law into your own hands. Dozens of provisions proposed to solve the things about government we like the least. Initiatives to address the most intrusive encroachments on civil liberties, the excessive tactics of law enforcement, discrimination under licensing requirements - all in one book. A responsible and firm hedge against the "homeland security" measures that unreasonably infringe on our most treasured liberties. Decriminalize marijuana, limit pepper spray use, protect SS numbers, citizens' review panel, end state income taxes, limitations on the use of technology against the innocent, make gov't more friendly - who's the boss here anyway?!?! Fairness is lacking in so many instances involving gov't that somebody's got to do something. Complaining aside, let's look at some answers, dozens of them!!! THE FIX, by David R.

HUMANITARIAN GESTURE
by MR NAMBO DOE 24 Sep '02

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met,but kindly consider the message, because, I am determined to live for posterity. I wish to plead with you to join me in not only serving humanity, but to also benefit in the process. This message could be strange but reality will definitely dawn on you, if you pay some attention to it's contents. I would'nt have notified you but for the sake of your integrity and goodwill.Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any personal pains or discomfort. I am Nambo Doe the elder brother to the late Liberian President Samuel Doe, who was murdered by the then rebel leader Charles Taylor, now Liberian President. President Samuel Doe, in his bid to fend off rebel insurgency,put in my care, the sum of $12,300,000(twelve million, three hundred thousand dollars) for the purchase of arms and ammunitions, to counter rebel attacks. But unfortunately, we could not purchase these arms before he was killed. This money is still being kept in trunk boxes in a secret location and just the two of us knew about it until he was killed. I could not get in touch with any arms dealer before my brother was killed. I have since held on to these trunk boxes, which I was able to transport out of Liberia with the aid of ECOMOG soldiers/Diplomatic passsage under the guise conveying my personal effects without anybody knowing. I am presently residing in Mhlambanyatsi in Swaziland and work as a consultant on inter-regional cooperation. I have borne the burden for too long. I do not want to keep the funds any longer, but I can never turn it over to the brutal and tyrannical rogue regime of Charkes Taylor, is still comitting all sorts of atrocities on the liberian people. I am not solicitng for your help to wage a war against the regime, but to act as a foreign partner, to allow me transfer the funds to you, and in turn donate a portion of it as humanitarian gesture to the Liberian people by purchasing such essential needs like blankets, milk and so on from the money after deducting your expenses and comission of 20%.Please note that I could have approached the Red Cross Society, but I changed my mind on that after calculating what they would deduct as comission, and also, after rationalising the scandal that followed their mismanagement of the donations meant for the victims of the september 11th attack on the United States. Also note that this offer will give you a double-edged advantage : 1. as the benefactor of the Liberian people and; 2. the comission you stand to earn. On getting a positive response from you, I will send to you the modalities for processing the necessary documenations that will facilitate your securment of the funds from the Security company where the funds are kept for safe keeping. Please note that confidentiality and honesty are fundamental rules in this transaction. Be assured that I am a reputable personality in this country and I am mindful of the legal implications of this transaction, as I intend taking care of all the legal documentations for a successful and hitch-free transaction. You will be expected to take delivery of the consignment, personally from the deposit company in Europe. With the password and informations that I will give you, together with the Power of Attorney, you would then proceed to the security firm, as these will facilitate your collection of the consignment. The consignment containing the USD$12,300,000.00 will be released to you in the two large trunk boxes. I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money collected by you and transfered into your account,as we would give you the neccesary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally in Europe. ***PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED. Thank you very much for your time and understanding. Yours sincerely, Nambo Doe

Re: What good are smartcard readers for PCs

"James A. Donald" <jamesd(a)echeque.com> writes: >Increasingly however, we see smartcard interfaces sold for PCs. What for, I >wonder? Companies buy a few readers for their developers who write software to work with the cards. They may even roll out a few in pilots, and put out a stack of press releases and print brochures advertising how hip they are for using smart cards. Eventually the clients discover how much of a bitch they are to work with (installation problems/buggy drivers/incompatibilities/not having your card when you need it/etc, not helped by the fact that smart card vendor after- sales support is the most client-hostile of any PC hardware type I know of) that users decide to live with software-only crypto until the smart card scene is a bit more mature. Given that n_users >> n_card_vendors, this situation can keep going for quite some time. Peter.

Cypherpunks and Irish Travellers
by Anonymous 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Terrific article below about the "Irish Travellers", an inbred gypsy-like society which has decades of practice in anonymity, multiple identities, secret languages, fake IDs, and other cypherpunk-like practices. They live in trailer parks and make their living with home improvement scams and various frauds, just like many cypherpunks. They even reside in towns with names like White Settlement. I thought that was Tim May's house! Read on for a glimpse of the future of cypherpunk culture... Woman videotaped hitting child has local ties By MELODY McDONALD Star-Telegram Staff Writer FORT WORTH - The woman captured on videotape beating a child in an Indiana department store parking lot last week is believed to be an Irish Traveller with ties to the Fort Worth area. Madelyne Gorman, 25, also known as Madelyn Toogood, has been the subject of a nationwide search since Indiana law enforcement authorities distributed copies of the videotape to the media earlier this week. Gorman, who is believed to be affiliated with a Traveller group in White Settlement and Fort Worth known as the Greenhorn Carrolls, is also wanted on unrelated warrants in White Settlement and Fort Worth, authorities said. Irish Travellers are descendants of a nomadic ethinic group that came to the U.S. in the 1800s to escape the potato famine, roaming the country by horse and wagon in search of itinerant work. Shiny trucks and travel-trailers now carry them to the nation's distant corners and unassuming places like White Settlement. They are devout Roman Catholics who share biblical names, marry within the group and speak their own dialect. Most of the men make their living in home-improvement and business-repair work, such as paving, painting and roofing. Law enforcement authorities said some scam their clients in the process. Joe Livingston, a senior agent with the South Carolina Law Enformcemnt Division who has investigated Travellers for 18 years, said there are various subclans of Irish Travellers around the cournty. "In Texas, they are the Greenhorn Carrolls. The South Carolina Travellers are known as the Georgia Boys. In Memphis, they are known as the Mississippi travellers. This girl appears to be a branch of Texas." "How many are there?" he asked. "Who knows." The Greenhorn Travellers -- the Carrolls, Gormans, McDonalds, Daleys and Jennings -- found themselves in the spotlight in January 2000 when five of their young members were killed in a wreck on Interstate 30 in Fort Worth. The accident -- one of the worst in city history -- shocked the public. Questions arose when authorities learned that none of the boys was older than 14 and four of them were carrying false driver's licenses misrepresenting their ages. After the accident, some Traveller families withdrew their children from area schools. Victims' families met with investigators only once. Livingston, who is researching the Madelyne Gorman case, said he has discovered that Gorman has driver's licenses in Indiana, Missiouri, Texas and New Jersey. Computer searches reveal she has listed addresses in Mission and Fort Worth; Elkhart, Ind.; and Independence, Mo., among others. "This again, shows the transiency of these people," said Livingston, who said he received a call from an informant Friday morning about the case. "My guy says they've gone underground. They're not going to find this girl." In addition to the arrest warrant out of Indiana, Gorman is wanted in White Settlement and Fort Worth for unrelated crimes. In White Settlement, a warrant was issued for Gorman's arrest on April 9 after she failed to pay a $202 traffic ticket. According to the city's municipal court clerk, Gorman received a citation for no driver's license on Dec. 12, 2001, in the 1400 block of south Cherry Lane. The following month, Fort Worth police issued a warrant for Gorman's arrest after she failed to appear in court to face theft charges, said Lt. Mack West, of the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department. According to a computer records and a Fort Worth police report, Gorman and another woman, Rose Ann Carroll, were arrested March 27 at a Kohls department store in Fort Worth on charges of theft $50 to $500.

[BrinWorld] precrime squad in Del: more pigs needing killing
by Major Variola (ret) 21 Sep '02

21 Sep '02

WILMINGTON, Del. -- The city police department's Corner Deployment Unit is known as the "jump-out squad" for bursting out of vehicles to question and search suspects. Its officers also are known for something else: snapping photos of suspects they stop, even those they don't arrest. City officials defend the practice as a legal and effective part of fighting drug dealing and street crime. Critics say it violates the constitutional rights of innocent people. In an era when surveillance cameras peer from buildings and parking lots, courts have ruled that people can't expect privacy in public places. Civil libertarians argue that police photographing people they don't arrest is a different matter. "There's no authority to forcibly photograph someone and enter them into a database when they have committed no crime," said Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union. "I'm not aware of any other municipal police department that has engaged in this type of behavior," he said. Wilmington Mayor James Baker describes such criticism as "blithering idiocy," saying police take pains to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens while targeting people "who are killing our neighborhoods, who are killing our people." City officials deny police are photographing individuals they believe are likely to commit crimes. Some media reports have compared the technique to "Minority Report," a recent science fiction movie in which police identify criminals before they commit crimes. "It's not a Gestapo technique, it's not anything other than a progressive means of policing an urban environment," said police spokesman Cpl. Stephen Martelli. Among other things, the photos can serve as proof that a person arrested for loitering received other warnings. They also are kept as "possible evidence for ongoing investigations," authorities said. Police Chief Michael Szczerba said his department has taken photographs of suspects for years without complaints. It's "highly improbable" that innocent people were caught up in the stops, he said. According to city officials, 658 people were stopped and questioned between June, when the jump-out squad's "Operation Bold Eagle" began, and last week. Among them, 546 were arrested, and 708 charges were filed. Police believe the other 112 are involved in criminal activity, even if officers didn't find enough evidence that day to arrest them. Drewry Fennell, executive director of the ACLU's Delaware chapter, argues that shouldn't matter. "Their criminal histories are not relevant to their rights to move freely about on the street," Fennell said. The ACLU is considering a lawsuit but, so far, no one has come forward with a formal complaint, he said. City officials have met with ACLU, NAACP and Urban League representatives to hear their concerns, and another meeting is scheduled Wednesday. In crime-troubled neighborhoods, some residents have welcomed the camera-toting police. "I would rather have innocent people's pictures taken than innocent people shot," said Barbara Washam, who joined a rally last week to support the police. Mayor Baker said the photo policy doesn't violate the Constitution or the U.S. Supreme Court's 1968 decision in Terry v. Ohio that police may stop and frisk people if they have reasonable suspicion they are engaged in criminal activity. The state attorney general and chief federal prosecutor for Delaware agreed that Wilmington police appear to be acting within the law. But others disagree, saying the Terry decision allows police only to briefly detain and question suspects. "They can't use Terry as a pretext to go out and gather a photographic database of suspects," said professor Phyllis Bookspan, who teaches constitutional criminal procedure at Widener University. City officials say officers exercise discretion. On a recent Friday night at a corner reeking of alcohol, the squad frisked and questioned six men while investigating suspected drug dealing. Patrol Officer George Collins questioned one of the men, then pulled a digital camera from his pocket and asked if he could take his picture. "Can I ask why you're doing this to me?" replied the man, who showed identification and told police he just was walking to the store. "If you're not a criminal, you don't have anything to worry about," Collins answered. "It's for future reference." Satisfied with the identification, Collins pocketed his camera without snapping a photo. "He was a resident, so I gave him the option," Collins explained. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-police-photos0921sep21(… ----- Got Osama?

Wouldn't it be cool if a paki gunman shows up at a .gov NOC, just like he did at the CIA some years back? http://www.securitynewsportal.com/cgi-bin/cgi-script/csNews/csNews.cgi?data… VeriSign Inc has stopped providing access to information about the .gov internet domain, which is restricted to US government bodies, over concerns the data could be used in planning internet attacks, ComputerWire has learned. On September 16, the company posted a notice on its web site saying that from September 13 (three days earlier) it would no longer provide FTP access to the so-called "zone file" for .gov, which contains the IP addresses of all the name servers that point to .gov domains. Ken Silva, VeriSign's director of networks and security, told ComputerWire the company had removed access to information "of potential value to hackers", and that the decision was made "in conjunction with" the General Services Administration, which administers the .gov zone file. Silva pointed out that while VeriSign manages the .com, .org and .net zone files, and continues to make those available to those willing to enter a no-cost agreement with the company, it does not run .gov, and merely made the data available as a free informational service. Malicious hackers wanting to take down government web sites would hypothetically be able to do so by denial-of-service attacking the name servers associated with .gov domains. It was not immediately clear if the .gov zone file data is made available in bulk from other sources, but the GSA does not seem to do so. Also removed from the FTP site was the zone file for in-addr.arpa, which is used for reverse-DNS lookups (when somebody wants to find out what domain is associated with an IP address, rather than the other way around) It seems so logical to take that .gov WHOIS info offline that you have to wonder why it wasn't done last year. After all, who really needs to do WHOIS look ups on government sites except hackers, mail spammers that are harvesting government email addresses and fearful folks who like checking where the IP's of mysterious visitors to their web sites originate from... I wonder whether the same will be done for the .edu and .mil which also are prime targets..

[HereticalCode] DeCSS Redux: DVDSynth
by Major Variola (ret) 21 Sep '02

21 Sep '02

Summary DVDSynth is an open platform for developing various "virtual devices," particularly virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and virtual discs to put in them. One of the most interesting things it can do is apply filters to physical devices in the system. Filters can change the contents of a CD or DVD in arbitrary ways on the fly. This early release of DVDSynth contains only the filtering support together with the following three filters: DVD subtitler: This filter effectively adds a new subtitle track to a DVD, by inserting new data into the MPEG stream and updating the various navigation pointers on the fly. Since it works at the device-driver level, it's compatible with all software and hardware DVD players. It comes with a fairly sophisticated subtitle rendering engine which supports asynchronous overlapping subtitles in multiple fonts and colors, fade-in and fade-out, the full Unicode character set, vertical Japanese "sidetitles," etc. Unrestrict DVD: This filter removes various usage restrictions from a DVD, including region lockout, APS (Macrovision), and disabled fast-forwarding, menu call, angle change, and so forth. SCSI protocol spy: This lets you monitor the SCSI commands and data passing to and from your drive, in the tradition of such utilities as FileMon, RegMon and Spy++. It's useful for debugging, and interesting to watch if you're curious. http://www.roundelay.net/dvdsynth/prerelease.html#download

On the contrary, TCPA/Palladium can solve exactly this problem. It allows the marketers to *prove* that they are running a software package that will randomize the data before storing it. And because Palladium works in opposition to their (narrowly defined) interests, they can't defraud the user by claiming to randomize the data while actually storing it for marketing purposes. Ironically, those who like to say that Palladium "gives away root on your computer" would have to say in this example that the marketers are giving away root to private individuals. In answering their survey questions, you in effect have root privileges on the surveyor's computers, by this simplistic analysis. This further illustrates how misleading is this characterization of Palladium technology in terms of root privileges.

Now that I think about it, I recollect the proposal was something along these lines: Alice is confronted with a question with a yes or no answer. She flips a coin. If the outcome is "H," she answers the question honestly. If the outcome is "T," she then flips another coin and gives that outcome as her answer. Half the population of pollees is ostensibly answering honestly, the other half is randomizing. No particular person can be linked to an answer.

That doesn't sound like a solution to me - they haven't provided anything to motivate people to answer honestly, nor do they address the basic problem, which is relying on the good will and good behavior of the marketers - if a website visitor is unwilling to trust a privacy policy which says "We'll never use this data to annoy or harm you", they're likely to be unimpressed with a privacy policy which says "We'll use fancy math tricks to hide the information you give us from ourselves." That's not going to change unless they move the randomizing behavior off of the marketer's machine and onto the visitor's machine, allowing the visitor to observe and verify the correct operation of the privacy technology .. which is about as likely as a real audit of security-sensitive source code, where that likelihood is tiny now and shrinking rapidly the closer we get to the TCPA/Palladium nirvana.

Uh, excuse me?! I can see how such an idea works if you add a random variable with a known mean to the data. A researcher could do this before storing the data, in order to protect the confidentiality of individual respondents, and still be able to compute aggregate statistics. However, if you XOR a bit with a random bit, you have something equally likely to be in either state. Even a large collection of yes/no responses XORed with random bits is indistinguishable from random data.

Found Object at Party: Knife/pliers multi-tool
by Tim May 21 Sep '02

21 Sep '02

I found a stainless steel locking pliers multi-tool behind my ice chest on my deck. Someone probably used it at the party as a bottle opener and forgot it was there. Perhaps it was left on the lid of the ice chest and it rolled off in the semi-darkness when someone else opened the lid. It's one of the models made by one of these vendors: Leatherman, SOG, Gerber, Buck, etc. Describe the brand and/or how it operates, opens, etc. and I'll hold it for you or make other arrangements for you to get it back. Comment on the meeting,/party: I counted about 50 people at one time or another, peaking at about 40 during the late afternoon indoor session. A lot of people I'd never met, nor heard of. (If someone lost the multi-tool and doesn't read Cypherpunks, oh well, think of it as Darwin's blade, now mine.)

Woman wanted for child abuse after store spycam witnesses beating: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/Midwest/09/20/video.child.beating/index.html SOUTH BEND, Indiana (CNN) -- The woman caught on videotape seemingly beating her 4-year-old daughter in the parking lot of a Kohl's Department Store in Mishawaka, Indiana, is wanted in Texas for skipping a court date -- on charges that she shoplifted from a Kohl's in Fort Worth, Texas. Police are searching for Madelyne Gorman Toogood, 25, identified by authorities as the woman seen in the videotape repeatedly striking her daughter, Martha, after putting the little girl in a van. Police said Toogood is from Texas, where she was arrested on March 27 and charged with shoplifting from the Kohl's store in Fort Worth, according to Fort Worth Police Lt. Jesse Hernandez. A spokeswoman from the Tarrant County district attorney's office said that a warrant was issued for Toogood's arrest when she missed a May 9 court date. Mishawaka, Indiana, Police Chief Anthony Hazen said Toogood's sister, identified as Margaret Dailey, has been arrested and charged with failing to report child abuse. Dailey was also seen in the video, police said. Hazen said authorities are "optimistic that we will find this young girl and her mother." Maggie Jones, deputy prosecuting attorney for St. Joseph County, said the sister was "not cooperating," and her office was considering filing felony charges against her for assisting a criminal. Battery charges against Toogood are expected to be filed later Friday, Jones said. If convicted, Toogood would face a maximum of three years in prison. Hazen said police are "very worried about the child," who appears in the video to receive several blows that "could have caused severe trauma." The beating occurred last Friday, when a surveillance camera recorded two women -- identified by police as Toogood and her sister -- walking with two small children as they departed Kohl's department store in Mishawaka, near the state's northern border with Michigan. The women had attempted to return several items, but were refused and were asked to leave, said Hazen. "The suspect became angry, and left the store," the chief said. "I believe (store personnel) followed them out through the camera system and witnessed the incident." As the camera tracked them from the store to a 2002 white Toyota Sequoia SUV in the parking lot, one of the women -- identified by police as Toogood -- placed her 4-year-old daughter in a rear seat. The woman, wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt, her blond hair in a ponytail, looked around the parking lot and -- for about 25 seconds -- shook the girl and hit her in the face. "You can see the woman grab one of the girl's ponytails and forcibly shake her," Jones said. "Not even counting all of the blows we saw the woman make, that constitutes battery." Using the videotape, police traced the vehicle to the woman's family and impounded it. Jones said family members told her the girl was one of the woman's three children. But the woman's relatives have been "less than cooperative" in helping authorities locate the girl, Jones said. The sister, who has not been identified by name, "claims not to know where her sister is," Jones said. Authorities also said they had spoken with Toogood's husband, who had not led them to his wife. It was not clear if the two live together. "I've been in police work over 20 years, and I've never seen such a horrendous attack on a small child," said Mike Samp, assistant chief of the Mishawaka Police Department. Samp said the family members told authorities the woman had left the state. But he was not persuaded. "My hunch is that she's still here. That's why we're continuing to pursue this so vigorously." Authorities have urged anyone with information about how to find the woman or the girl to call the Mishawaka police at (574) 258-1684. "It made me sick to think that that child is still with that mother and, quite frankly, if the mother is willing to do that in a public parking lot, what is she doing at home?" Jones asked. "Our immediate concern ... is to locate the child and get the child out of the environment." CNN Correspondent Gary Tuchman contributed to this report.
