They don't need no stinking privacy!
by A. Sheeple 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

An Open Letter To The CypherPunks: Due to the large amounts of ridicule heaped upon the Sheeple family by members of the CypherPunks list, I have decided to write to the list to clarify a few of the issues on which our family's stances are apparently misunderstood by people outside the pen. First of all, we are AdamAnt about retaining our right to privacy, but we recognize the need for the authorities to invade other people's right to privacy, in order to protect us from them. We demand our right to a fair and impartial trial before a jury of our peers, but we recognized the need for law enforcement agencies and the justice system to take whatever steps are needed to make certain that others are convicted in accordance with the desires of the majority of their betters, according to the results of the Sheeple polls taken by CNN and People's Court. (Note: We, the Sheeple, are willing to do our part, and look the other way when those responsible for our protection need to stretch the boundaries of belief by claiming that a black wife-beater is not a suspect in the murder of his wife and her white lover, as they climb over a fence onto his private property, without a warrant, saying, "We're white men from the government, and we're here to help a Black-Afro American.] We wish to exercise our right to have security in our private communications by employing strong cryptography, but we also recognize the need for our government to intercept communications by foreigners, in order to protect us and to manipulate world events in a manner that will keep the price of our TV's as low as possible. We wish to exercise our right to free speech, but we recognize the need of authorities to prevent filth and vermin from using disgusting and perverted language such as, "Baah...Baah...", instead of righteous and politically correct language such as "Baaa...Baaa." In short, or position is that we wish to retain all of our rights and freedoms, but support them being compromised or taken away from others, for the good of the Sheeple. A. Sheeple

fight back at SPAM!
by nobody＠nsm.htp.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I received some annoying spam today. Unbelievably, they included a 1-800 number. Since they wasted my time, I thought I'd call them up and waste their time (on their nickel!). I got a recording asking me to leave a message. I then called back and it stated that this was my last call for the day. Apparently they only accept two phone calls from each distinct phone number. The phone number is 1-800-338-6150 if anyone else feels like calling them up and tying up their phone line. I'm not going to mention what they're selling, since that would be doing them a favor. Maybe when they get their phone bill they will realize the problems associated with direct email marketing on the Internet. ;-) If a honest-to-goodness live person answers, just talk to 'em and try to keep them on the line as long as possible. Ask questions about their product, etc. The longer they talk to you, the more it costs them! You get the picture! Enjoy!

The Rapist from the Internet Chat Room
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Alleged `Cybersex' Victim Testifies By SAMUEL MAULL, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK -- A woman who says a graduate student she met online tied her up and raped her in his apartment tearfully described for jurors how she begged, "Don't rape me, don't dismember me, don't kill me" before escaping. In emotional testimony Tuesday, the 22 -year-old woman said she managed to untie herself from a futon, fight off her assailant and flee. "I was sore. I was exhausted. I didn't want to move," she said, then describing how she loosed the cloth strips: "I felt so good! I got it undone and I stood up! I got it undone! I looked at him and he looked frightened! I'm not going to die!" The witness, who said she was naked while tied up, said she grabbed her clothes and got dressed while running for the door and fighting off the man who had held her as a sex captive for more than 20 hours. "He tried to catch me," she said. "I just kept fighting. I wouldn't let him get any part of me. I ran to the door and clenched the handle because I was not going to be tied up again." The woman says her tormentor was Oliver Jovanovic, 31, a Columbia University doctoral candidate in molecular biology whom she met in an Internet chat room. Jovanovic is charged with kidnapping, sodomy, aggravated sex abuse and assault against the woman in his apartment following their first date Nov. 22, 1996. The woman said Jovanovic had tied her up, dripped hot candle wax on her abdomen and genital area, bit her breasts until they bled and used a nightstick to sexually abuse her. The woman said Jovanovic attacked her after a discussion about good and evil and became upset when she said she believes people are not inherently evil. He then ordered her to undress, she said. Defense lawyer Jack Litman said no violence occurred between the two and that any sexual activity, while it might have been unusual, was consensual. He quoted from e-mail messages sent by the woman to Jovanovic before and after their date in which she talks about sadomasochism in what appear to be terms of approval. The e-mail messages the woman sent to Jovanovic included one that reads "Rough is good," and another that reads "I would go through the pleasure of hell's pain." The woman testified that she sought out Jovanovic because she thought he was intelligent, knowledgeable and interesting. Litman called the woman unstable and overly imaginative. He said she is blaming the evening's activity on Jovanovic to absolve herself of something she likes but considers dirty.

Somebody quoted PRZ's message about the NAI/PGP/TIS merger deal, which puts to rest for now some of <my> concerns about the weird juxtaposition of companies, anyway. He didn't address the issue of NAI becoming a KRAP again. Anonymous quoted: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ... > announcement on this subject on 20 March at CeBit in Hannover Germany. > > -Philip Zimmermann > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- and then s/he said: > I'm just curious, and no offense intended, but Phil's signature is > bad in the signed message. I'm using PGP 5.55, and it has his key > in it, and it doesn't check out. "Things that make you go 'hmmmmm'"....... Just a formatting problem. If you put a space before the "-Philip" the message checks just fine. There are several other copies of the message posted around the Web already with the correct formatting, and the other one I checked had the spacing right already (which is how I knew where to look on this copy). See, for example, the copy at http://jya.com . Jim Gillogly

While I agree with you in that total security is only possible if you completely isolate the system, I think that the original person posting wasn't referring to the batteries, but rather the conditioning that is going on inside the UPS. Any decent ups will put the incoming power through a "conditioner" that will filter out noise in the incoming power, and rebuild the wave so that transient sags and spikes don't get through. It stands to reason that these filters would work in reverse, since they are AC filters. Most AC circutry works equally well in reverse as forward. DC circuitry would probably filter out noise equally as well since it simply won't work in reverse for the most part, it'll simply resist any reverse current until it blows. Of course, I make no claims about noise that the transformer itself may make while it does it's filtering that someone might be able to use to determine what was filtered out. -The Spectre [SP4 w/ Clam Cluster] -http://www.anthrax.net/cos "No man is clever enough to know all the evil he does." - La Rochefoucauld

"They are now able to build their own networks by using regular Internet connections combined with the F-Secure VPN+ security solutions. Large organizations can also utilize F-Secure VPN+ to extend their corporate network to sites outside the corporate domain." F-Secure VPN+ is firewall and router independent, allowing for the building of extranets on top of existing infrastructures. "The F-Secure VPN+ architecture is uniquely wide: it is compatible with all existing router and firewall solutions, and all major platforms," says Mr. Kotovirta. "For the end user, the strength of the product is its transparency. As F-Secure VPN+ operates at the OSI level 3, which is invisible at the application level, it does not require any changes to applications or their configurations."

Guys When Sandia assigned me to break locks for the FBI/Engineering Research Facility, project leader Peter Hamilton told me that if we got caught there were judges who would help us. I was not sure that I believe Hamilton then. I do now. Morales and I signed and mailed the petition for writ of prohibition on the 18th bill

G8 action plan on online anonymity?
by ulf＠fitug.de 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Apparently restrictions on online anonymity have been discussed at the meeting of the Justice and Interior Ministers of the G8 in Washington, Dec 8--12, 1997 on "high-tech and organized crime". >From Janet Reno's press release <URL: http://www.usdoj.dov/opa/pr/1997/December97/518cr.html>: "each nation has committed to develop faster ways to trace attacks coming through computer networks, so that we can quickly identify the hacker or criminal who is responsible." What are these fast ways to trace attacks? Did the ministers also discuss anonymous speech? Anyone have the full text of the declaration and the action plan?
