Statist Changes - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

Statist Change - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ______________________________________________ "The more you make change, the more your balance books remain the same." ~ Chevy Change Founder - Saturday Night Live Change Manhatten Bank "Statist Change In The SidePocket - ou Can Bank On It." Delbert McClinton, a paid media informant for a shell of the former Time Bandits, the Nutly Noose, sent me a private email, the contents of which which ethics and propriety forbid me to disclose, although it can be PartyPhrased as, "So why the fuck do you keep sending your goddamn SPAM to the CypherPunks list, you illiterate, drunken asshole?!?!?" The Real (TM) Answer #436-C.2: "Because I'm a CypherPunk, ShitForBrains!!!...!!!" "I don't care what they say about me, as long as they spell my name wrong." ~ Declan McCaulkin Former OldSpiceBoy who recently cut a solo album, "ArmGlue" Declan McCullagh (ever notice that I only get his name right when I'm insulting him?), who used to be an unread, but lightly respected journalist for the Netly News (it is better to remain unread and thought a Tool, than to get a byline and remove all doubt) sold the soles of his shoes to pay the piper, only to discover that his Controllers at Time Magazine, a subsiduary of a fidicuary corporation, Slime, Inc., wholly owned by the MainStream Enquirer (Gyrating Minds Want To Be Snowed) had already paid the 'fiddler', and thus got to NameThatTune, since they were astute enough to realize that the 'original' quote was, "Those who learn from the mistakes of the past, can profitably repeat them." So now Declan, currently only a part-time employee of the CIA/FBI/DEA/NSA (and ASecretThreeLetterOrganizationWhich- SecretlyControlsTheWholeWorldToBeNamedLater) as a result of being fired as a Cuspected CypherPunks Cpy, but rehired on a consultancy basis to be a Shadow of his former self... Damn...lost my train of thought, again. I guess that's why they don't pay me the BigBucks... Anyway, if Declan had been one of the original coconspirators (sometimes spelled with a hyphen) in the Secret Plot Against The CypherPunks List, instead of a JohnnyComeLately trying to jump on the bandwagon, after believing Jim Bell when he told Declan how great prison food is, he would be aware that a chapter of a previous 'True Story Of The InterNet' manuscript pointed out that a member of an elite group of dribblers who wore green bibs with numbers on them, the CelticPunks, Kevin McHale (if that is his *real* name...), said of a fellow CelticPunks member, Danny Angst, "Sure, he's actually a slobberer, but he's *our* slobberer!" This quote was used to illustrate my point that the late Dr. Dimitri Vulis, KOTM, an IgnorantInsaneInconsiderateIgnoble Asshole, was a 'CypherPunks' IgnorantInsaneInconsiderateIgnoble Asshole (TM). PissAnt Dale Thorn was a 'CypherPunks' PissAnt. Cocksucker John Gilmore was a 'CypherPunks Cock Cucker' (not to be confused with the Criminal Cocksucker of Canada). Statist GuberMint Chill, Kent Crispin, was a 'CypherSpooks' Statist DoubleMint Chill, and a secret member of the Circle of Eunuchs. The veteran elitists on the list accused me of being a elitist neophyte who was bitter over not having received a CecretSypherPunksDecoderRing (TM), but none of this really has anything to do with the point I am trying to make... "When Outlaws are outlawed, only Outlaws will be outlaws." ~ An Inlaw of Billy the Kid (aka-BadBillyG, BadBillyC, Bill Frantz, Bill Stewart, William Geiger III, Bill C. May, etc.) (Anyone complaining about the foregoing not making any sense is obviously hanging around with David Byrne because he is rich and famous, and not because they truly love and understand his music.) Why I Am Spamming The CypherPunks List #A-497-2.3: I am the TruthMonger. The dedication of my life to becoming one with the MadDog- InPossessionOfTheLastFalseSmile resulted in my being forcefully unbriscrived from the Jack Nicholson Fan Club Mailing List, because "THE CAN'T *HANDLE* THE TRUTH!" In loneliness and depravation, I decided to sribvive to the Suicide Mailing List, but it turned out to be just a corporate- sponsored pimple on the butt of the InterNet, created as a means to feature the Nike 'Just Do It' logo. (Besides, there was only one other member on Suicide Mailing List, and she only sent a single post, a suicide note, helping me to realize that she had really belonged on the list, while I was just a rubbernecker. I then subscribed to the AIDS Support List, but was kicked off when they discovered that I didn't have AIDS, and was just there to try and meet women. On advice of legal counsel, and Jerry Falwell, I will refrain from describing my experiences on the Christian Pre-Teen Mailing List, since charges are still pending. Why did I subscribe to the CypherPunks Mailing List? It was the last one...I had been kicked off of all the others. I thought that this time, I might be accepted for who I really pretend to be, since I believed that the other list members would be delighted to know that I had 'broken PGP,' although I couldn't provide any proof of it, at the time. Also, I had just completed work on a totally unbreakable encryption system, although I was hesitant to share details with others, in fear that someone might figure out how it worked, thus compromising the total security it provided. When the rest of the list suckbikers attacked me in fits of RayCharlesRage, I realized that they, like myself, suffered from Tourette Syndrome, and were not just pretending to, like Andrew Dice Clay. I suddenly realized that encryption was a science that had come about as a result of hundreds of years of misdiagnosis of Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder (not to be confused with Federal Deficit Disorder, which causes politicians peering into taxpayer pockets to see a Bottomless Pit). I realized that these people were sick motherfuckers... I was home... If ou Can't Kill The List ou Love, Kill The One ou're On: I have never been fond of the CypherPunks Mailing List, or its subscribers. The list and list members are a constant reminder that I am a mental misfit and a social outcast, chased by the torch-bearing angry mob of decent, law-abiding NetiZensComeLately back to the CypherPunks Cecret Castle, cleverly disguised as a Mailing List. It is indeed a great irony that I, a pretentious interloper on the list, was ultimately responsible for single-handedly rescuing the CypherPunks list from death and oblivion. I know what you're thinking: "Drop the crack pipe, and slowly back away from the keyboard..." But it's True (TM), I swear to Dog. I'm not claiming to be some kind of Hero, or to be Dustin Hoffman, or anything, since it came about quite by accident. At the time of the Legendary CypherPunks Censorship Crisis (not to be confused with the CypherPunks Moderation Experiment), I did everything I could to forment dissent, cause fractious fractal fractures between the list members, shooting and pissing at everyone and everything in sight, even myself, suffering several serious foot-wounds in the process. It was only later, when it became obvious that the CypherPunks list was going to survive, and prosper, and that, in fact, a beautiful Toad had been transformed, by the KissOfDeath, into a plethora of ugly PrincesAndPrincesses, that I realized that the CypherPunks Censorship Crisis had been an attempt to destroy the list, by making it just another bland, everyday imitation of PoliticallyCorrectMasturbation that would make our mothers proud of us, as long as we didn't stain the sheets too badly. In retrospect I realized that I had inadvertently saved the list from a Zombie-like future as just another sidestreet on the Information Highway by using my posts to promote and glorify violent anarchy against reason, common sense, and everything that my mother and father taught me in the hope of saving me from being a bad influence on myself, little realizing that I was actually epitomizing what the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP was really about. I realize that I am enclosing myself in an aura of grandoise self-importance once again, since most of the list subscribers fell into the same knee-jerk reactions as I did, even the ones who were calling the loudest for censorship, but doing so by shitting and pissing on the OfficiallyPerceivedTroubleMakers on the list, so, in actual fact, one might surmise that the CypherPunks Mailing List was not so much 'saved' by anyone, as merely confirming itself to be an IndestructibleEntity that would survive as long as their was a single individual on the face of the earth who continued to respond to a perfectly reasonable and valid statement with, "Oh yeah? Sez who?", or a pair of bickering children screaming, "Did so!/Did not!/Did so!/Did not!" Still, I think I deserve a CypherPunksSecretDecoderRing... "Question Anonymity!" ~ Janet Renal Department of Blow Jobs "Why not? Are you 'gay', or something?" [I am going to take a BeerBreak, and give you a chance to check the archives, in order to confirm that the next chapter of SAHMD, which deals with the concepts underlying the formation of the Army of Dog, was first mentioned on the CypherPunks list by Tim C. May, who really did invent everything, including the Wheel (doing it in his sleep), making the rest of us just dirt under his CypherPunks Elitist Feet (TM).]

IE Frees Crypto
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Source: http://go2.guardian.co.uk/paper.html Thanks to IB The Guardian Online, Microfile, July 2, 1998 ANNOUNCING the most liberal national policy yet on the encoding of data sent over the Internet, the Irish government last week showed it has every intention of being an international centre for electronic commerce. Ireland listened to its many resident technology companies, rather than bowing to pressure from the US, which wants access to encrypted messages. Ireland places no restrictions on the use, import or export of encryption products. Individuals can choose to offer a plain text version of the encrypted document or hand over a key, if a search warrant is proffered. The document was released to coincide with the Irish visit of President Clintons Internet tsar, senior trade advisor Ira Magaziner, who hinted that his views on encryption diverge from those of his boss. "Within the next year, therell be such an availability of high-level encryption that the market will take over," he said. ----- Leads on getting this paper would be appreciated.

NYT Hits GAK, Boosts GAKS
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times, July 6, 1998, p. A10. Editorial Privacy in the Digital Age As more and more Americans communicate and do business electronically, the fear is spreading that information they transmit can be seized by hackers or criminals and used for illegal or unsavory purposes. Fortunately, the technology to thwart such invasions already exists. It is called encryption, or the encoding of digital information to secure its privacy. But the Federal Bureau of Investigation is trying hard to prevent the growing use of encryption, both in the United States and abroad, because of fears that the protective technology itself will get into the wrong hands. That shortsighted stand will undermine efforts to protect commercial transactions and may actually hamper law enforcement rather than help it. The Clinton Administration's current policies toward encryption have been largely dictated by the F.B.I. and the Justice Department. These two agencies now block encryption makers from exporting their most advanced technology unless they agree to develop a method allowing law enforcement agencies to gain access to it. The method favored by the F.B.I. is known as the key escrow, in which the key to cracking a code is kept with a third party that could hand it over quickly if law enforcement agencies demanded it. But the key escrow method poses tremendous threats to privacy. There is a danger that access to keys for the code could be abused by law enforcement agencies and others. Worse, the United States would be required to share key escrow information with law enforcement agencies of other countries, and giving access to private communications to countries with poor human rights records could lead to crackdowns on dissidents using encryption for their own communications. According to industry officials, the export controls are already backfiring. More and more foreign companies are supplying encryption technologies without key escrow arrangements, making it virtually impossible for the F.B.I. to eavesdrop and stealing business from American firms. The growing foreign role diminishes the ability of the F.B.I. to demand new safeguards or ways to penetrate the communications of criminals who use encryption. President Clinton might normally be more sympathetic to concerns over maintaining privacy in the digital world. But since Attorney General Janet Reno has protected Mr. Clinton from an independent counsel on campaign finance, the White House is said to be loath to oppose either her or Louis Freeh, the F.B.I. Director, on this issue. On Capitol Hill, the debate over encryption has created some unusual political alliances. Many conservative Republicans have stood with leaders of the high-tech industry to oppose any kind of ban on encryption within the United States and to support a loosening of export controls on encryption technology. It has been odd to see Trent Lott, the Senate majority leader, and Dick Armey, the House majority leader, stand with civil libertarians against the demands of the F.B.I. But the F.B.I. is not without influence. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, more friendly to the agency, has prevented a bill encouraging greater use of encryption from coming to a vote in the House. The concerns of law enforcement agencies are legitimate. But smart criminals are already using encryption, some of which is readily available on the Internet. That was the message conveyed only a few weeks ago by such unlikely allies as Bill Gates of Microsoft and Jim Barksdale of Netscape, who are on opposite sides in the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft but agree on this issue. The F.B.I. should give up its losing fight against encryption and work with industry to develop new means to catch criminals who use it. One approach under discussion would be to develop software technology that could be surreptitiously placed in a suspect's computer to capture keystrokes before they are encrypted. Any such operation would have to be carried out under strict court control as the electronic equivalent of a search warrant. But law enforcement agencies have to find a legal and ethical way to stay ahead of technology, rather than stand in the way of it. Trying to block advances in the digital age is futile. [End]

Code Wizard Frank Rowlett Dies
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Frank Rowlett, a founder of NSA's National Cryptologic School, has died at 90. The New York Times has an obituary on the "code wizard" today: http://jya.com/nsa-rowlett.htm Rowlett was one of three earliest recruits of William Friedman, head of the the US Army Signal Intelligence Service, a 1930s forerunner of NSA's "massive cryptologic system today" (Kahn). After a long career in Army cryptology Rowlett served with the CIA and was special assistant to the DIRNSA at the end of his service in the 1960s. He is credited with helping to break the Japanese RED and PURPLE codes, efforts unlerlying the Allies World War II MAGIC cryptanalysis system. He was also an inventor, following work of others, of the SIGABA machine, the US Army's version of Hebern's cipher device, and held other cryptologic patents. David Kahn has tart remarks in The Codebreakers about how Friedman, and to a lesser extent, Rowlett, got national awards for work done by others, through "well-situated friends, picayune mechanical differences, and a great but totally irrelevant record." (page 392)

Would any of the members of the NAS CRISIS panel know if keystroke surveillance one of the technologies proposed for the FBI as an alternative to GAK? Could this technology to be covertly placed in all keyboards for activation say, by remote control, or via a program/device on the Internet? Recall the various proposals for putting hardware encryption in keyboards, with the possibility of covert GAK.

Army of Dog - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ___________________________________________ Bienfait Nutly News "ANARCH IS OUR ONL HOPE" Christmas Special ***************** by King Author and the Dark&Stormy Knights of the Magic RoundTable A Personal Note From An Army of Dog Prisoner Of War: To: remailer-operators(a)dev.null From: DaltonGang(a)Dev.Null Since my meatspace body is currently hanging on a federal meathook, my consistent meatspace identity is currently available for those who wish to rent it. Given the high value of the BadReputationCapital currently connected to my consistent meatspace identity, I don't feel I am remiss in requiring both a small monetary remittance to: James Bell #26906086 Federal Detention Center P.O. Box 68976 Seattle WA 98168 as well as Executive Editor credits on any InterNet website or email account that uses my consistent meatspace persona to send threatening letters to goverment agencies, officials and employees, to run Assassination Politics Bots, or to engage in activities which violate the conditions of my parole, including, it seems...breathing. James Dalton Bell "They also serve, who only bend over and wait." -----Pretty Monitored Privacy Public Cell Key----- OuCh#$!tHAthuRts*&^nOOooOnotSAnd!!!OKwhO'SNexT???? -------------------------------------------------- Questionable Quotes #37: "If the Army of God can kill so many people from the Missionary Position, where the risk of transmitting AIDS is comparitively low, then the Army of Dog should be that much more effective, working Doggie Style..." ~The Unknown CypherPunk (aka TCM) CypherPunks Cult of One Bay Area Addition The recent phenomena of the Army of Dog, which has had a long history of never before existing, is rumored by many to be a splinter group of the Circle Of Eunuchs, which had come into existence as a result of an announcement on December 7, 1989, by Bubba Rom Dos, that the existence such a group would be extremely dangerous to those involved, and that everyone assembled should immediately disband and have no further contact with one another. The Circle of Eunuchs, a wholly owned subsiduary of the Magic Circle, headquartered nowhere, has managed to keep their heads, as well as avoid being drawn and quartered, by never really existing. Although consisting of 3-member Gorilla Cells whose manner and method of their use of bananas is totally up to the individuals involved, based on their personal ethics and morals, none of the members can ever really be certain that the CoE actually exists, although it is pretty hard to deny the existence of the bananas, if you have made the mistake of choosing your fellow CoE Gorilla Cell members randomly from ads in the free magazines widely available in San Franciso. The Army of Dog operates much along the same lines, with the major difference being that more of the members choose to act alone, in solitary Cult of One units, with the more moderate members generally requiring reading glasses, while the more radical members eventually go blind. Seasoned warriors, they refuse to ask for pity or sympathy, having only themselves to blame, 'cause momma tried... Questionable Quotes #896: "ou don't have to have a bottle of Mercetan to know which way Janet Reno is blowing." ~JDB BellWeatherMen Cult of One Seattle AboveGround Cell Army of Dog recruits, going one step further than the Army of God members who have so successfully avoided being hunted down like dogs by LEA's around the country, perform many of their nefarious activities on behalf of causes that they have little or no connection to, little or no interest in, and do not necessarily believe in. For example, an Army of Dog Virtual Warrior who is very passionate in their feeling regarding the demonization and persecution of Kevin MitNikita, but who thinks that Jerome Dalton Bell is an asshole who got what he had coming to him, would naturally gravitate toward performing subversive actions which violated the conditions of Bell's parole. (If that AoD Warrior was a minor, they might even be bold enough to join with other minors in small Saskatchewan towns, acting in concert with NineInchNails, knowing they would not have to worry about being tried as an adult, since they could prove that their uncle, the Author, was not even an adult.) On the other hand, a CypherPunks Army of Dog Virtual Warrior, who feels indebted to Jim Bell for the blow jobs while awaiting trial (even though he *did* have to hold a knife to Jim's throat, since Jim was playing 'hard to get'), would perform their subversive activities on behalf of the UnaBomber, who they thought was a fucking lunatic who was better off locked up. (For instance, they might perform a variety of low-key meatspace crimes, such as setting the Dumbarton bridge on fire, just before the UnaBomber's trial, and then notify the President by email that they were ready to step in and take the UnaBomber's place if he was executed.

Questionable Quotes #486: "Give them Flack, John." ~Bob Church of the SubGenius Cult of One Davis-Monathan Division Many Army of Dog recruits are LEA's and paid government informants who tried to infiltrate the AoD, but who got a little carried away and eventually ended up performing some act of meatspace violence so atrocious that they had to quickly find a scapegoat such as Timoth McVeigh, to take the fall. (Although the agent code-named Defcon McCullagh Chainsaw claims he was just there to cover the bombing, in a free-lance assignment for the Oklahoma Nutly News, he has thus far failed to adequately explain submitting a receipt for breakfast with the BATF shortly before the explosion, or why the BATF would be having champagne and caviar for breakfast, saying only, "Eggs is eggs...") Questionable Quotes #8: "I never minded about the little things." ~Bridget Fonda The Author's Secret Lover Cult of One Although both Army of Dog Virtual Warriors and MeatSpace Warriors are quick to point out that sex after plugging a strangers parking meter, or setting off the fire alarm at the local school via modem, is phenomenal, they also point out that it doesn't hurt to have a co-conspirator (sometimes spelled without the hyphen). One Army of Bitch WarriorGoddess, speaking about her long-time relationship with an AoD programmer, said, "Although he starts with a relatively small value of 'c', he always increments it, and sometimes puts it through what seems to be an endless loop." (For the non-computer oriented, that loosely translates as, "He may not touch bottom, but he sure raises hell with the sides.")

jeopardize law enforcement and national security objectives

SKIPJACK Review Interim Report The SKIPJACK Algorithm Ernest F. Brickell, Sandia National Laboratories Dorothy E. Denning, Georgetown University Stephen T. Kent, BBN Communications Corporation David P. Maher, AT&T Walter Tuchman, Amperif Corporation July 28, 1993 (Copyright © 1993) _________________________________________________________________ Executive Summary The objective of the SKIPJACK review was to provide a mechanism whereby persons outside the government could evaluate the strength of the classified encryption algorithm used in the escrowed encryption devices and publicly report their findings. Because SKIPJACK is but one component of a large, complex system, and because the security of communications encrypted with SKIPJACK depends on the security of the system as a whole, the review was extended to encompass other components of the system. The purpose of this Interim Report is to report on our evaluation of the SKIPJACK algorithm. A later Final Report will address the broader system issues. [...] We examined the internal structure of SKIPJACK to determine its susceptibility to differential cryptanalysis. We concluded it was not possible to perform an attack based on differential cryptanalysis in less time than with exhaustive search. [...] SKIPJACK algorithm is classified SECRET NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS. This classification reflects the high quality of the algorithm, i.e., it incorporates design techniques that are representative of algorithms used to protect classified information. Disclosure of the algorithm would permit analysis that could result in discovery of these classified design techniques, and this would be detrimental to national security. However, while full exposure of the internal details of SKIPJACK would jeopardize law enforcement and national security objectives, it would not jeopardize the security of encrypted communications. This is because a shortcut attack is not feasible even with full knowledge of the algorithm. Indeed, our analysis of the susceptibility of SKIPJACK to a brute force or shortcut attack was based on the assumption that the algorithm was known. Conclusion 3: While the internal structure of SKIPJACK must be classified in order to protect law enforcement and national security objectives, the strength of SKIPJACK against a cryptanalytic attack does not depend on the secrecy of the algorithm.

Beginning of process of decrypting net-nanny files (fwd)
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Article 425292 of alt.religion.scientology: Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: Beginning of process of decrypting net-nanny files Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 00:28:03 -0700 Lines: 100 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There are three files with the netnanny, called d32l.dll, n32l.dll, and p32l.dll. These are not really dlls, but are almost certainly the database of words and phrases that the netnanny is interested in. If you look at these files, there is a total of 1037 lines, each of which has from 10 or so to 60 or so characters. It turns out (see below) that two characters in the data file almost certainly map to 1 character of the plaintext, so the phrases are 5 to 30 characters long. 1037 phrases of 5 to 30 characters seems about right. If you look closely at the text, you'll see that they letters alternate between the ranges of 32-63 and 96-127 (decimal). That is, a line begins "1{7}.f#f". The 1, 7, ., and # are all in the range 32-63, and the {, }, f, and f are in the range 96-127. Each of these letters, then, can take one of 32 values, or five bits. If you combine these, you find that there are only 512 combinations used of the pairs of letters, instead of the expected 1024 (=2^10). It turns out that if you construct a 10 bit word with the first 5 bits from the first character and the second 5 from the second character, then you find that the middle two bits are always either both 0 or both 1. So, there are 512 possibilities. These 512 numbers are fairly uniformly distributed, so this is not a simple substitution cipher. Interestingly, though, again, using the above construction of a 10 bit number from the two five bit pairs, you find that the high order bits change very slowly if at all from character to character. This is the beginning of d32l.dll (fair use quotation of two lines from the file) 1101110001 1100110100 1100110011 0011001110 0011110000 0001110101 0010000000 0010000001 0010001111 0011001010 0001000100 0001001101 0000001110 0010000101 0000001000 0111110101 0110110111 0110001111 0111111110 0110000101 0110111110 0110110010 0101110110 0101000010 0101111000 0110001110 0100001110 0100111011 1011000001 1011111000 1011111000 1001110010 1010000111 1010110111 1010001000 1000111000 1011001111 1011111101 1010001011 1010111001 1101000111 1101110101 1100000011 1100110001 1100111111 1111001101 1111111011 1110001001 Note that the middle two bits are always the same, and the high order bits seem to be changing slowly, but slowly upwards. My guess is that some value is being added to the plaintext character, and this value is incremented every plaintext character. Further, perhaps, there is a exclusive or being performed. In any case, I hope that this gets other people moving in the right direction.

Data Fellows Secures the World's Largest Computer Demo Event
by Mia Westerholm 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For immediate release 3 July 1998 Data Fellows Secures the World's Largest Computer Demo Event Assembly '98 Sponsored by F-Secure Data Security Products Data Fellows, one of the worlds leading data security development companies, is proud to support Assembly '98, the world's largest computer demo event. Data Fellows will also maintain data security during the happening. Assembly is an annual computer multimedia event, celebrated in Helsinki, Finland. It gathers amateurs and professionals from all over the world to meet other demo experts and compete in the art of demo making. A demo binds thrilling graphics and animations with massive sound effects to form a multimedia presentation of computer programming. Assembly '98 will be held during 7th - 9th of August 1998 and is expecting 3000 visitors. Prizes worth more than $25,000 USD will be awarded. The F-Secure Anti-Virus product will be used to protect the main file servers of Assembly '98 against viruses. Copies of the product will also be distributed to all participants. The F-Secure Network Encryption products will be used to protect the network traffic of the ad-hoc Assembly network - which is hooked live to the Internet. "Protecting a happening like Assembly is certainly a challenge", comments Data Fellows' Manager of Anti-Virus Research, Mr. Mikko Hyppönen. "However, we've been co-operating with Assembly organizers all along since 1993, and I'm sure of yet another success." "We do realise that the stereotype of a demo coder and the stereotype of a virus writer are pretty close to each other - both are often male teenagers who are experts with low-level programming." Continues Hyppönen. "That's why we want to promote a happening like Assembly, which shows these young people a way to use their programming talents in a safe and productive way." More information about Assembly '98 at http://www.assembly.org About Data Fellows Data Fellows is the world's leading data security development company with offices in San Jose, California, and Espoo, Finland.

I was asked to forward this message to the Cypherpunks list by Linda Reed...Who sent it to me as a responce to one of my e-mails...I know that by doing so, I risk being kicked, stomped, beated siverly amongst the neck and shoulders, and even flamed...But I think so many of us are not looking at the true messages involved in these 'spams'. Reed is makeing several REALLY good points...Given, Reed does rant a bit...And some of what is writen is just so much bullshit...But all of it, taken in context, is Truth (TM)... Let me make a suggestion to Reed and all others involved...There is a time and place for everything...The time for rEvolution, as Reed puts it, is _NOW!_ However, Cypherpunks is not the place...So does anyone know of any good e-lists that would love to get the ALIANS posts? Maybe your five minute's of thought on a way to help Reed will make everyone happy, Vs the hours some of us are spending complaining about the damn thing. D ___________________________________________________________________ ---Begin Forward Message--- The Geezinslaw Brothers, from Austin, TX, had a song called, "If You Think I'm Crazy Now, You Should Have Seen Me When I Was A Kid." I envy today's youngsters, who have the opportunity to participate in a Virtual Revolution that is every bit as serious, and will have consequences just as great as, any so-called World War that has ever been fought in the history of human evolutionary development. I envy them because they have, if they seize the opportunity, a chance to engage in rEvolutionary acts of Virtual anarchy, derring-do, war & violence which will not threaten the lives of those whose only crime is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, physically, but will threaten only those whose crime is to be in their own mindspace, at the right time for them to be there, but refusing to allow others the same right. I do not pass judgement on Timothy McVeigh, any more than I pass judgement on Che Guerva, Louis Riel, Leonard Pelltier, or Ho Chi Min. They did what they had to do, and they used what they thought was the best judgment and tools of their day. Anyone who claims to judge a moral differnce between them and those they opposed is a fucking BeanCounter, and should be in line behind the lawyers when the firing squads line up. I wish that Timothy McVeigh could have done what he did within the confines of Digital Reality, on the InterNet, perhaps blowing a hole in the ElectroMagnetic Curtain that would allow the children to survive, but also allow them to glimpse what was on the other side of the wall, so that it could not be denied once the hole was closed. That was not to be... [KFor all of the sincere intent underlying my TruthSPAMing and RealityBlathering, I find myself at a loss to truly describe what I see as the importance of those entering the Digital/Global/Interactive Age that is being born to realize that *they* will be the ones who either allow the dinosaurs of the past to usurp the current rEvolution of human development, or to act as the Founding Fathers ojf a Global/Digital Democracy, recognizing that the dinosaurs are wearing red, marching in straight lines, and cussing out the shit-disturbers as cowards for hiding behind Digital Trees known as Remailers. The Great Myth is that there isn't enough to go around. Enough *what*? Money? - There's as much as we agree there is... Time? - I spent a good part of the day sitting on my ass... Love? - I love Janet Reno and Louis Free. They're great targets... Cadillacs? - Any President who proposed to block communism in southeast Asia would have been laughed out of office. It turns out that it would have saved us money and invigorated the auto industry. Cadillacs? - Any President who proposed to block communism in southeast Asia by buying everyone a Cadillac would have been laughed out of office. It turns out that it would have saved the US money and invigorated the auto industry. Freedom & Privacy? - Like Cadillacs, there is as much as we are willing to pay for. We are not going to be able to have it, however, until we are ready to make the giant leap of faith it takes to trust that $30,000 is better spent in promoting Freedom & Privacy, than buying another toilet seat for the Censorship CCoommiittee executive restroom. If there is enough BullShit to go around, then, according to the Eternal Laws of the Tao, there is enough Reality to go around, as well. Those who recognize the Reality that I profess as the TruthMonger might get the impression that I am attempting to hoard the Truth, because their isn't enough to go around. Nothing could be further from the Truth (TM)... I'm willing to share... As a matter of fact, I could use some of yours, since I'm starting to run a bit low, as a result of begining to believe my own press when others indicate that I am something special, because they agree with me, and thus I run the risk of becoming a Spokesperson For Consensus, franchising the TruthMonger persona, and speaking the EasyTruths in order to capture the mass-market when, in reality, I could retire quite comfortably from the income I receive from having Truth (TM) trademarked, since everyone who speaks the Truth (TM) currently has to send me a nickle, or I'll sue their sorry ass... One more beer, and I'll be losing it...so NoMoreMrNiceGuy... The Cold Hard Truth: Truth, Freedom, Privacy, Love, ad infinitum...all have a Cost! The LIE: That which we have an inherent Right to, should be Free! The Reality: Virtual/Conceptual/Idealistic Reality have a physical cost, but they also have spiritual earning power. Humans are both physical and spiritual beings... It 'costs' you $1.00 not to knock someone over the head with a rock when they are standing beside you at a bus stop with a dollar in your hand. Your soul appreciates $1.00 if you refrain from doing so... The choice is yours, and yours, alone. (Although my personal *opinion* as to the ethics/morality of your decision might vary depending on whether or not *I* am the person standing next to you at the bus stop.) I don't know how many soul-credits it cost Tim McVeigh to bomb the Murrah Federal Building, and I don't know how many soul-credits he earned for waking up government employees to the fact that their actions have consequences, as well. That is between Tim McVeigh and his Accountant. There is a Cost to telling the truth, to taking a stand, to refusing to be be oppressed/repressed in Virtual Reality. I have had my possessions confiscated and criminal charges filed against me as a result of speaking what I consider to be the truth, within the confines of CyberSpace. Freely speaking my mind has led to physical retribution against me. I can vouch for the fact that Freedom of Speech has a Cost. I am willing to pay that Cost... I am more than happy to pay whatever price it requires to be the TruthMonger, because that what is important to me. I'm not doing anyone any favors...I am doing what I feel it is my role to do. My definition of a Hero, is a person who does what they can, who fulfills the role that they have the capacity to fulfill. A man who charges a hill, and dies in the process, is a Hero if he does it because he looks around him and sees that it is his role, his time, his destiny. A man who charges a hill, and lives in the process, because of the expectations of others, is a fool. I have seen Heroes who charged the hill because they looked around them and saw Warriors who had families waiting for them, while they had none. I have seen Heroes who charged the hill when they knew it would likely result in their families waiting in vain for their return, because they knew that their actions would result in a dozen families not having to grieve the loss of a loved one. I don't expect todays CyberWarriors to get their asses shot off for thumbing their noses at authority--that is foolish. However, if you're sitting at your desk at the HeadQuarters of the Great Oppressor, and HeOrShe walks in, hands you the latest model of DeathRay, asking your opinio, and you decide to do something very, very foolish...I'll understand. All I'm saying is that Values, Concepts, Ideals, Ethics, all have a cost. Whatever you can contribute in the physical realm to help cover that cost is 100% deductible in the esoteric realm. Andy Warhol prophecied that everyone would receive their fifteen-minutes of Fame, in *his* future. TruthMonger's Prophecy is that, in HisOrHer future, everyone will get a shot at the Great Oppressor. Use it, or lose it... Love, Toto *********************** p.s. - I am currently writing on an early Sperry computer which has 128K of RAM, and can barely run WordPerfect 4.1, and then having to transfer it to Windows 3.0, to clean it up, before sending it to a hacked Unix account and transferring it via a VAX system to its destination.

FBI Tesla Files
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Jim, Maybe you know that the FBI offers about 256 pages of docouments related to Nikola Tesla on its FOIA Web site: HTTP://www.fbi.gov/foipa/hisfigs.htm#tesla They are in two large PDF files of 4.8MB and 5.8MB. In case you've not seen them here's a brief: None of the papers are by Tesla himself, and most relate to various inquiries about Tesla's "missing papers," based on O'Neil's book claim that the FBI confiscated Tesla's papers and effects shortly after his death. The FBI claims that it was the Alien Property Office which had Tesla's effects and that the FBI had not been involved. Several focus on Tesla's famous "Death Ray" of the 1940s, with requests for access to the scientific papers on it, or warn of its possible use by foreign enemies. To most the FBI sends a standard disavowal. However, one is of interest: a Feb 1981 inquiry by the Defense Department which stated in a then-classified paragraph: "(C) We believe that certain of Tesla's papers may contain basic principles which would be of considerable value to ongoing research within the DoD." The FBI answers that it never had Tesla's papers but reports that a review of those at the Alien Property Office by an MIT scientific team found that none of the papers contained significant scientific information of national security interest. Yet, the FBI goes on, the Alien Property Office told the FBI in the 1950s that in the only recorded visit to the Tesla archive in January 1943 (shortly after Tesla's death) an unidentified "Federal authority" microfilmed numerous papers, film whose whereabouts the FBI knows nothing. There's a bit more about electronic research at Wright Paterson AFB. And a DoD thank you letter on behalf of Dr. S. L. Zeiburg, Deputy Undersecretary (Strategic and Space Systems). A once-secret 1983 series investigated a claim that Margaret Cheney's biography of Tesla, "Tesla: Man Out of Time," points to national security threats based on allegations of Soviet development of his experiments using papers possibly obtained through his nephew, Sava Kosanovic, a high Yugoslav official. Many pages of Cheney's book marked at threatening passages on the "missing papers" are in the file.

The Government Has Our Numbers by Lori Patel 4:00am 3.Jul.98.PDT Your banker has it. Your employer has it. Your insurer, the IRS, and, frankly, you can't remember who else has it. So what difference does it make if the US Department of Transportation joins the crowd asking to see your Social Security number? Recently, the department published its intention to require all states to verify Social Security numbers before issuing or renewing drivers' licenses. Depending on who one asks, the significance of this decision can swell or shrink like a top-notch special effect. "Fear of crime and terrorism has caused us to let down our guard against excessive intrusion into the lives of the law abiding. The ease of minor borrowing and the transformation of shopping into recreation has addicted us to credit cards," wrote New York Times columnist William Safire. "Taken together, the fear and the ease make a map of our lives available to cops, crazies, and con men alike." . . . http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/other/politics/story/13441.html

One Nation web site temporarily off-line
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW You will note from my email that I am not using the normal gwb(a)gwb.com.au address. Last night at about 6.30pm Optus "pulled the plug" on my Internet Service Provider (Pronet) who I have NOW been informed are facing financial difficulties. (I only found out today after making enquiries as to why I could not access my ISP.) This has caused all contact with the "gwb" web sites (which includes One Nation) to be cut off. If you try to contact them you will come up with a "DNS error". I am currently relocating the web site and will be seeking a new ISP who can offer One Nation "the best deal". This will take some time, perhaps a few days, and in the mean time I apologise for any inconvenience. As soon as the One Nation website is up and running I will advise you. Please note that the Internet address will remain the same as it was. In the meantime be assured that One Nation being "off air" is not related to any conspiracy, lack of support from our part or any other misinformation that might be fed to you through the media. As always GWB stands 100% behind Pauline Hanson and her competent team. GWB Scott Balson
