ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial)
by rsaeuro＠repertech.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial) ================================================================ What is RSAEuro? ---------------- RSAEuro is a cryptographic toolkit providing various functions for the use of digital signatures, data encryption and supporting areas (PEM encoding, random number generation etc). To aid compatibility with existing software, RSAEuro is call-compatible with RSADSI's "RSAREF(tm)" toolkit. RSAEuro allows non-US residents to make use of much of the cryptographic software previously only (legally) available in the US. RSAEuro contains support for the following: * RSA encryption, decryption and key generation. Compatible with 'RSA Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #1. * Generation and verification of message digests using MD2, MD4, MD5 and SHS (SHS currently not implemented in higher-level functions to maintain compatibility with PKCS). * DES encryption and decryption using CBC (1, 2 or 3 keys using Encrypt-Decrypt-Encrypt) and DESX(tm), RSADSI's secure DES enhancement. Blowfish and RRC.2 encryption and decryption using CBC (available in commercial versions only). * Diffie-Hellman key agreement as defined in PKCS #3. * PEM support support for RFC 1421 encoded ASCII data with all main functions. * Key routines implemented in assembler for speed (80386 and 680x0 currently supported). * Much improved library documentation with code samples. International Use ----------------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not distribute or use this software in the US it is 'illegal' to use this toolkit in the US, as RSADSI and Cylink hold patents relating to public-key cryptography. If you are a US resident, please use the RSAREF toolkit instead. On The Web ---------- RSAEuro can now be found at http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html Author Details -------------- With comments and suggestions, please address them to Stephen Kapp, at 'rsaeuro(a)repertech.com', for documentation comments suggestions please address them to Nick Barron, at 'nikb(a)repertech.com' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO: rsaeuro(a)repertech.com RSAEURO Bugs: rsaeuro-bugs(a)repertech.com Tel: +44 (0)370 566687 Http: http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html RSAEURO - Copyright (c) J.S.A.Kapp 1994-1997. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO - Cryptography for the World.

Lewis McCarthy (lmccarth(a)cs.umass.edu) wrote * [various newsgroups removed from the distribution] * Eli the Bearded writes: * > help prevent the moderator or a third party from inventing * > posts from people. (If someone always posts from the Lucifer remailer * > how can you tell real posts from that person from fakes?

At * least with anonymized articles, most people realize more readily * that there's no real proof of identity present (as you noted above). That is correct. A moderated newsgroup can be set up such that messages coming from certain addresses can be required to be digitally signed. This requirement, of course, does not have to apply to all users and can be done on a voluntary basis. Anonymous users can also enjoy the benefits of authentication, if they submit their public keys to the moderator (with the key address set to something like space(a)alien.nowhere) and request that all messages coming with the address "space(a)alien.nowhere" be authenticated. This is a very positive aspect of moderated groups, since anonymous posters can enjoy both anonymity and reputation. The other concern here seems to be forgers who forge valid addresses of existing users. Again, a moderated group has a great flexibility to introduce SOME authentication without even the need for using public key cryptography. The moderator can set up a password-based system. Anyone can request a password sent to them by sending an email to password(a)moderation.site.com. A unique password will be generated, stored and sent back to the requestor. The address that had been assigned the password gets on the "watch list" and all article submissions from that address would be checked for presence of the password. Of course, a password needs to be wiped out from the message priot to teh approval. As long as email remains private (ie, there is no man in the middle or any sniffers acting), this scheme is secure. Again, it may be either purely voluntary or mandatory. Of course, anonymous users need special treatment since they are unable to receive email. Such users may continue to use PGP. igor

How about: To sub-s-c-r-ibe to the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer is a little different than most mailing lists you may have experienced. The reason is that the list consists of several indipendent systems passing traffic from each system to the others. They use a mutualy agreed upon method for deleting multiple copies. Since all the remailers share a commen remailer package, namely Majordomo, they have a commen interface. The actual mechanism of sub-scr-ip-tion is to send 'majordomo@<system>' an email with 'sub-scr-ibe cypherpunks' in the body. As of <insert date here> the available <system> are: albegra.com ssz.com (human mailing list help is available at list(a)ssz.com) cyberpass.net [To avoid bias I suggest sorting alphabeticaly by domain and then system name] Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com ----- End of forwarded message from owner-cypherpunks(a)algebra.com -----

As well as active Cypherpunks mirrors, have there been many new nym servers coming into existance? Most of them seem to have been dying on the vine. Info on new or existing nym servers appreciated.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)miron.vip.best.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"exon"} = "<remailer(a)remailer.nl.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"haystack"} = "<haystack(a)holy.cow.net> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"lucifer"} = "<lucifer(a)dhp.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"balls"} = "<remailer(a)huge.cajones.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"middle"} = "<middleman(a)jpunix.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek reord"; $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{"dustbin"} = "<dustman(a)athensnet.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek mix reord middle"; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"wazoo"} = "<remailer(a)wazoo.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"shaman"} = "<remailer(a)lycaeum.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"hidden"} = "<remailer(a)hidden.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer. There is no remailer at relay.com. Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator: (cyber mix) (weasel squirrel) The alpha and nymrod nymservers are down due to abuse. However, you can use the nym or weasel (newnym style) nymservers. The cyber nymserver is quite reliable for outgoing mail (which is what's measured here), but is exhibiting serious reliability problems for incoming mail. The squirrel and winsock remailers accept PGP encrypted mail only. 403 Permission denied errors have been caused by a flaky disk on the Berkeley WWW server. This seems to be fixed now. The penet remailer is closed.

Supports Request-Remailing-To: field. eric A variant of the cpunk style. Uses Anon-Send-To: instead. penet The third class of remailers (at least for right now). Uses X-Anon-To: in the header. pgp Remailer supports encryption with PGP. A period after the keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email address, should be used as the encryption key ID. hash Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of outgoing messages. ksub Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode. nsub Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode. latent Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option. cut Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option. post Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header. ek Encrypt responses in reply blocks using Encrypt-Key: header. special Accepts only pgp encrypted messages. mix Can accept messages in Mixmaster format. reord Attempts to foil traffic analysis by reordering messages. Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

DCSB: The Internet as an Auction-Pricing Incubator
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Fred Hapgood "The Internet as an Auction-Pricing Incubator" Tuesday, June 3, 1997 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Price, Including Luncheon: $30.00 The low transaction costs and interactivity of the internet are proving a highly favorable incubator for auction pricing. In April Yahoo reported 60+ sites supporting online auctions with more appearing every day. The largest of these hosted more than 50,000 individual auctions (not individual items) simultaneously and was growing at 25% a month. Online auction sites appear to be the only indigenous internet service that is a) generating profits of any scale and b) respectable. Fred will describe how these auctions work, some of their varieties, what they are selling, analyze the online auction site as a business model, review recent developments, and weigh the odds that online auctions will be associated with changes of interest in the structure of the economy and the culture. Fred Hapgood, <http://www.pobox.com/~hapgood>, is a free-lance writer based in Boston. While he often writes about aspects of electronic commerce, that being where the market is, he promises creditworthy clients an attentive and positive hearing to any proposition legal in at least one jurisdiction. Last year he spoke before the DCSB on franchising and the internet. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $30.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio format at some future date We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, May 31, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $30.00. If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: July Win Treese TLS, Digital Commerce, and Export Issues August Duncan Frissell MarketEarth September Christof Paar Elliptic Curve Cryptography October Peter Cassidy Military Fiat and Digital Commerce November Carl Ellison Identity and Certification for Electronic Commerce We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com> . For more information about the Digital Commerce Society of Boston, send "info dcsb" in the body of a message to <mailto: majordomo(a)ai.mit.edu> .

Has anyone else experienced problems, inside the UK or outside? All of the post that have come through have been sent initially to toad.com, my guess would be that nearly everyone, regardless of where they are sub-scr-ibed, is sending posts to algebra.com, which appears to be down, therefore cyberpass and ssz, even though they are up, have not got many messages to send on, does anyone know where toad.com is forwarding posts to? I wonder if this outage might have anything to do with Igor moving the list to another machine, as I seem to remember he said he was, although if I recall correctly he did not think this would cause a problem. As I said, cyberpass is definitely up and has responded to my majordomo request.

Microsoft has been involved for some time with smart-card keyboard readers, and I think some of my cohorts have seen the prototypes (I have not). I figure strong authentication will become part of the the platform within somewhere between 6 and 18 months. With Intel putting crypto on the main board / CPU, this poses very important issues --- it does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Tim May writes: > Could hardware-based chips be coming? At a recent meeting, John Markoff > asked me if I'd heard anything about Intel's rumored contract to buy 20 > million (yes, 20 _million_) keyboards with crypto features built in. I had > not heard this rumor. > > (Since then, though, there have been rumblings that Intel is preparing to > offer such keyboards, possibly with "user authentication" features (don't > know what kind). This might, speculating here, be linked with the Intel-HP > (and maybe Verifone, which HP is buying?) key recovery work. Conceivably, a > plan to sell a large user base (20 million?) on a hardware/keyboard-based > "secure commerce" solution.) I haven't heard anything about this rumor. However, if you look at the new USB chips being built by Cypress et al, it's not hard to imagine keyboards with ISO smart card readers built in. The USB chips contain a simple RISC core, lots of I/O pins and something like 4-8KB of FLASH or OTP memory. The incremental cost is a slot with 6 contacts for the smart card. Unlike PCMCIA, the ISO smart cards are cheap to build and easy to interface to. Schmlumberger is currently promoting it's "CryptoFlex" card which can do 1024-bit RSA sigs as well as triple-DES. I believe that it can do a 1024-bit sig in something like 20 ms. Eric

List problems or is it quiet???
by root 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I have checked the cypherpunks archive following my comment that I was not getting much mail from the list (only 8 to 10 posts per day) over the last 2 or 3 days, and the archive confirms this. Igor and Jim have confirmed that algebra and ssz are up, and cyberpass is reponding to majordomo requests... I`m just sending this to check that this really is not a list problem, as of course 10 posts a day is an uncommonly low traffic level for the list. Unless of course the black clad ninja`s have come round on 4am nomex hooded raids, and you are all in the ministry of love being questioned over allegations of thoughtcrime, which would explain the lack of posts ;-)......

CRACKIT.DAT increased to 50,000 bytes.
by DataETRsch＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In a message dated 97-05-26 19:38:43 EDT, you write: << The test file is only 836 bytes long. Could you please post a file consisting of, say, 50.000 space characters encrypted with the same key? >> 50,000 with the same key? Sure. A new file will be posted under the same name as the previously posted one. The same key will be used to encrypt the file before posting. Contest details will be reposted. By the way, a simple VSA2048 decryption program will be released soon so that there will not exist a need to develop one to decrypt the file. Also, the contest expiration date has been extended to July 1st, 1997. Good luck! Again, random XOR is *not* the only method used to encrypt data. In fact, random XOR could be left out. Consider examining VSACMInternal (in INTUNIT.PAS) and VSACMProcessOperation in LIBUNIT.PAS for additional information. Regards, Jeremy Yu-Ramos DataET Research

make $50,000
by Alpine Sys 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I received this email a few weeks back and after some thought I decided it was worth a try. Please take the time to read through this and then make up your own mind. Thanks. The following income opportunity is one you may be interested in taking a look at. It can be started with VERY MINIMAL outlay and the income return is TREMENDOUS! <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> You are about to make at least $50,000 - In less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!... <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Christopher Erickson. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends, and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER....FINANCIALLY!!! In mid-December, I received this program via email. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. But like I was saying, in December of '95 I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT". Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my orders. I am telling you like it is, I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself that I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! A good program to help do this is Ready Aim Fire, an email extracting and mass mail program @ http://microsyssolutions.com/raf/ In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By January 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By January 30th, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 19th, of my emailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every day. I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. Please take time to read the attached program, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it wont work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry. It really is a great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Christopher Erickson PS Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills ($58,000) look like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S AWESOME! "THREW IT AWAY" "I had received this program before. I threw it away, but later wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get a copy, so I had to wait until I was emailed another copy of the program. Eleven months passed, then it came. I DIDN'T throw this one away. I made $41,000 on the first try." Dawn W., Evansville, IN "NO FREE LUNCH" "My late father always told me, 'remember, Alan, there is no free lunch in life. You get out of life what you put into it.' Through trial and error and a somewhat slow frustrating start, I finally figured it out. The program works very well, I just had to find the right target group of people to email it to. So far this year, I have made over $63,000 using this program. I know my dad would have been very proud of me." Alan B., Philadelphia, PA A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM By the time you have read the enclosed information and looked over the enclosed program and reports, you should have concluded that such a program, and one that is legal, could not have been created by an amateur. Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a profitable business for ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the unemployment rate...because many of you know from first hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before. The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who never had anything to save or invest, were moving down into the ranks of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER." The traditional methods of making money will never allow you to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that. You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. I should also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several offices which market this and several other programs here in the US and overseas. By the Spring, we wish to market the 'Internet' by a partnership with AMERICA ON LINE. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on every one of them!. Remember though, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! "THINK ABOUT IT" Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take a little time to read it and REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter how you calculate it, you will still make a lot of money! Definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$ Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you. CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550!!!! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an internet connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT#3 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY. It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave the house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions, and your dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!! The longer you wait, the more people will be doing business using email. Get your piece of this action!! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard Business School, and both Stanford research and The Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold throughout Multi-level Methods by the mid to late 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the 500,000 millionaires in the US, 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the last several years in MLM. Moreover, statistics show 45 people become millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing. INSTRUCTIONS We at Erris Mail Order Marketing Business, have a method of raising capital that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say "Bull", please read the program carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi- level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home, store or office. This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: Step (1): Order all four 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders should also include $1 extra for postage. It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR 4 REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day service on all orders. Step (2): Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the names and addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS!!! Step (3): Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email lists. Step (4): Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more than ever. Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on the internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00. IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase these lists when you order the four 4 REPORTS. ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS!!! REQUIRED REPORTS ***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC REPORT BY NAME AND NUMBER __________________________________________________________ Report # 1 "$50,000 FOR YOU" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: AIS P.O. Box 15148 Boston, MA 02215 ________________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Mattpam Inc. P.O. Box 803297 Santa Clarita, CA 91380-3297 ________________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Homeward Bound P.O. Box 8614 Essex, VT 05451 ________________________________________________________ REPORT#4 "SOURCES FOR THE BEST MAILING LISTS" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: R&D Development 2704 Apt. B 45th Lubbock, Tx. 79413 ________________________________________________________ CONCLUSION I am enjoying my fortune that I made by sending out this program. You too, will be making money in 20 to 90 days, if you follow the SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing. To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments, retire or take a vacation. No longer will a lack of money hold you back. However, very few people reach financial independence, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply. My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that costs me pennies to produce and email. I should also point out that this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but getting NOTHING in return, NO product what-so-ever! Not only are chain letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite unattractive. You are offering a legitimate product to your people. After they purchase the product from you, they reproduce more and resell them. It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material, the PRODUCT is a series of four 4 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making your participation in this program more rewarding, but will be useful to you in any other business decisions you make in the years ahead. You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORTS, which will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The concise one and two page REPORTS you will be buying can easily be reproduced at a local copy center for a cost off about 3 cents a copy. Best wishes with the program and Good Luck! "IT WAS TRULY AMAZING" "Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this program. But conservative as I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was no way that I could not get enough orders to at least get my money back. BOY, was I ever surprised when I found my medium sized post office box crammed with orders! I will make more money this year than any ten years of my life before." Mary Riceland, Lansing, MI TIPS FOR SUCCESS Send for your four 4 REPORTS immediately so you will have them when the orders start coming in. When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the product/service to comply with US Postal and Lottery laws. Title 18 Sections 1302 and 1341 specifically state that: "A PRODUCT OR SERVICE MUST BE EXCHANGED FOR MONEY RECEIVED." WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE REPORTS TO ARRIVE: 1. Name your new company. You can use your own name if you desire. 2. Get a post office box (preferred). 3. Edit the names and addresses on the program. You must remember, your name and address go next to REPORT #1 and the others all move down one, with the fourth one being bumped OFF the list. 4. Obtain as many email addresses as possible to send until you receive the information on mailing list companies in REPORT #3. 5. Decide on the number of programs you intend to send out. The more you send, and the quicker you send them, the more money you will make. 6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill the orders. 7. Copy the four 4 REPORTS so you are able to sent them out as soon as you receive an order. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ORDERS YOU RECEIVE! 8. Make certain the letter and reports are neat and legible. YOUR GUARANTEE The check point which GUARANTEES your success is simply this: you must receive 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1. This is a must!!! If you don't within two weeks, email out more programs until you do. Then a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2, if you don't, send out more programs until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, (take a deep breath) you can sit back and relax, because YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AT LEAST $50,000. Mathematically it is a proven guarantee. Of those who have participated in the program and reached the above GUARANTEES-ALL have reached their $50,000 goal. Also, remember, every time your name is moved down the list you are in front of a different REPORT, so you can keep track of your program by knowing what people are ordering from you. IT'S THAT EASY, REALLY, IT IS!!! REMEMBER: "HE WHO DARES NOTHING, NEED NOT HOPE FOR ANYTHING." "INVEST A LITTLE TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY NOW OR SEARCH FOR IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------

Privtool 0.90 release
by Mark Grant 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Privtool Beta Release --------------------- Privtool ("Privacy Tool") is intended to be a PGP-aware replacement for the standard Sun Workstation mailtool program, with a similar user interface and automagick support for PGP-signing and PGP-encryption. Just to make things clear, I have written this program from scratch, it is *not* a modified mailtool (and I hope that the Sun program code is much cleaner than mine 8-) !). It can be compiled using either Motif or the Xview toolkit. When the program starts up, it displays a list of messages in your mailbox, along with flags to indicate whether messages are signed or encrypted, and if they have had their signatures verified or have been decrypted. When you double click on a message, it will be decrypted (requesting your passphrase if neccesary), and/or will have the signature checked, and the decrypted message will be displayed in the top part of the display window, with signature information in the bottom part. The mail header is not displayed, but can be read by pressing the 'Header' button to display the header window. In addition, the program has support for encrypted mailing list feeds, and if the decrypted message includes another standard-format message it will replace the original message and be fed back into the display processing chain. A recent feature is support for decoding nymserver messages using premail. When composing a message or replying to one, the compose window has several check-boxes, including one for signature, and one for encryption. If these are selected, then the message will be automatically encrypted and/or signed (requesting your passphrase when neccesary) before it is sent. You may also select a 'Remail' box, which will use the Mixmaster anonymous remailer client program to send the message through one or more remailers. As a Beta release, it has a number of bugs and unimplemented features. Known Bugs: Mail file menu doesn't work! Don't check trust level or for revoked keys. In-Reply-To: handled incorrectly with multiple compose windows. Many properties updates from the properties window don't take effect until you exit the program and restart. Nym selection should be per-compose window, not global. 'Add Key' button only adds the first key in the message. The code in x.c breaks on versions of GCC if compiled with optimization enabled. If you can't 'save attachments' then recompile x.c without optimization. Unimplemented features: When you save changes to the mail file, it throws away the signature verification and decrypted messages, so that the next time you view a message it must be verified or decrypted again. Currently if you send encrypted mail to multiple recipients, all must have valid encrpytion keys or you will have to send the message decrypted. Also, the message will be sent encrypted to all users, not just the one who is receiving each copy. Code should be more modular to assist with ports to Xt, Motif (under way), Mac, Windows, etc. I may port it to C++ in the near future. Not very well documented! Encrypted messages are saved to mail files in encrypted form. There is currently no option to save messages in decrypted form. No support for anonymous return addresses. Not very well tested on Solaris 2.x, FreeBSD or SunOS. Limited support for attachments (either Sun, uuencode or MIME). Changes for 0.90: Code now compiles on SGI IRIX! Mixmaster code now checks reliability before sending the message. I'm now shipping a modified version of Premail which doesn't verify signatures on decoded messages, but instead leaves them in place for Privtool to process. Fixed failure to strip prepending - marks when clearsigned message has bad signature. Changed scrollbar setting when opening a new mailbox or saving changes; we now display the first unread message if there are no new messages. Moved 'Print' button to reduce accidental printouts. Updating kill filters and pgp key mappings in the properties window now works without restarting the program. Privtool can be compiled to either use PGP Tools, or to fork off a copy of PGP whenever it is needed. There are also a number of different security level options for the passphrase, varying from 'read it from PGPPASS and keep it in memory' to 'request it every time and delete it as soon as possible', via 'request it when neccesary and delete it if it's not used for a while'. I've now patched PGP Tools for Linux. The code is available on utopia.hacktic.nl as pgptools.linux.1.0.tar.gz. The official Privtool Web Page is at http://www.unicorn.com/privtool/privtool.html and the release site ftp://utopia.hacktic.nl/pub/crypto/pgp/utils/privtool/. See the README file for information on compiling the code, and the user.doc file for user documentation (the little that currently exists). You should also ensure that you read the security concerns section in user.doc before using the program.

CRACKIT.DAT increased to 50,000 bytes.
by DataETRsch＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In a message dated 97-05-26 19:38:43 EDT, you write: << The test file is only 836 bytes long. Could you please post a file consisting of, say, 50.000 space characters encrypted with the same key? >> 50,000 with the same key? Sure. A new file will be posted under the same name as the previously posted one. The same key will be used to encrypt the file before posting. Contest details will be reposted. By the way, a simple VSA2048 decryption program will be released soon so that there will not exist a need to develop one to decrypt the file. Also, the contest expiration date has been extended to July 1st, 1997. Good luck! Again, random XOR is *not* the only method used to encrypt data. In fact, random XOR could be left out. Consider examining VSACMInternal (in INTUNIT.PAS) and VSACMProcessOperation in LIBUNIT.PAS for additional information. Regards, Jeremy Yu-Ramos DataET Research

PGP 5.0 keyserver
by Robert A. Costner 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Electronic Frontiers Georgia has set up a key repository for PGP type keys. This is part of a pilot project based on Georgia's New Digital Signature Law. We are still beta testing the keyserver, and invite people to try it out. The results of our testing will be presented at the Digital Signature Task Force meeting on June 24th. To access the keyserver, change your PGP5.0 preferences to point to keys.efga.org This is a closed keyserver, in that keys do not replicate to non EFGA keyservers. If this model is successful, this will help move Georgia to a position of being pro-strong encryption. Right now the server may only accept keys through the PGPkeys interface. We appreciate comments from experienced PGP users. Comments may be sent to myself, or to keymaster(a)efga.org Thanks, -- Robert Costner Phone: (770) 512-8746 Electronic Frontiers Georgia mailto:pooh@efga.org http://www.efga.org/ run PGP 5.0 for my public key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 5.0 beta Charset: noconv iQBVAwUBM4s5Q0GpGhRXg5NZAQFjiAH7BAzoxSFvyXUOt06nN5yZOyf4As198E9D gtNDqiqmux5SYuqoqBi7oiHEKNyphJOJEhMO+J2BVw8GGdWYMWtmRA== =BZXE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

SSN and passport
by nobody＠hidden.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I recently applied for a U.S. passport and, as an experiment, entered a SSN of 000-00-0000. The nice lady at the counter informed me that it would not be processed unless I provided a valid SSN (which gets forwarded to the IRS). It was my understanding that this disclosure was voluntary and that another form was available for notifying the IRS that a passport had been applied for. My travel plans didn't allow me the luxury of delaying the application process, so I provided the damn number. Does anyone know the real rules for this situation? Must passports be cleared with the tax goons or do they just want to keep tabs on people travelling abroad?

Tired of Not Making Money on the Internet?
by frank 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

ROCKET Your Way To Wealth In Cyberspace E-mail has proven to generate more response than any other form of communication. A Web site alone, posting through newsgroups and registering with a few search engines while placing a few classifieds just won't work. What good is a Web page no one knows is there? Using Mass e-mail provides great rewards for very little effort, time or money IF YOU KNOW what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, This is what will happen: Your Internet provider will SHUT YOU DOWN.. Your 800 phone bill WILL SOAR with nuisance calls. Your e-mail box will EXPLODE with mail bombs. It's not worth it to learn the hard way. Capitalize on the failures of your competitors to identify and continuously reach the TRUE online consumers. Get everything you need to know and use to produce MEGA INCOME ONLINE. Why is it anyone who has ever used Floodgate,E-mail Magnet, NetContact or Lightening Bolt for on-line marketing been so disappointed with the results? If you use any one of these programs with an ISP that frowns on Mass e-mail you are guaranteed to lose your account in a very short time. What good are bulk email programs if you can't find a provider that will allow you to mass mail? Every one of these programs extract the same addresses from the same sources. If everyone's hitting the same prospects over and over, is it any wonder they get upset? UNTIL NOW, the 1000's of user's you really want to target have thus far gone un-noticed. These are the users that are not active posting in the newsgroups and/or online classifieds. Send your own bulk email to thousands of people, FOR FREE!

BULKMAN PRO is compatible with Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows NT, and Windows 95. All you need is an Internet connection. Most online services or internet providers charge nothing to send e-mail. Send your letter to 10,000 people or 100,000 people - the cost is always the same. Nothing! While the misinformed continue using such programs as Pegasus for sending mass e-mails to the same old prospects, you'll be using BULKMAN-PRO to e-mail 16,000 + per day that are new and never have received mass email before. Do you really have the time or desire to try and figure this out for yourself? Stripping addresses yourself using the old methods is a time consuming, boring affair. You may see others shouting promises of how easy their program is, BUT while your competitor is actually mailing out their sales letter you're EITHER still stripping or stuck in the "I'll get to it" syndrome! If you buy and use any bulk e-mail list you will also get flamed, and/or mail bombed. Your account will still be terminated. These list are filled with traps, sysops, education, government and non-profit organizations just waiting to shut you down or post "Net Abuse" articles about you. Just because virtually every list is taken from names in newsgroups that are totally inappropriate to your product or service. So, what seems like a bargain for $30 or $50 for a so-called million e-mail addresses will turn out to be a nightmare before it's over. Learn how to create all the email addresses you will ever need on the fly without having to buy them or extract them from newsgroups, forums, membership directories, whatever - 100% deliverable too! Push a button and have 100,000 addresses in no time. Learn to identify All new users to the on-line world and email them before they leave (AND before anyone else could uncover them).

X-15 mail system. X-15 not only sends your mail very quickly and easily, it also will post messages to any number of selected newsgroups. If that isn't enough, it will even extract addresses from any number of selected newsgroups right off your host news server just like NetContact.

Unexpected SSZ downtime...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, As some of you are aware, we are having a hell of a day concerning weather. Not only are 300+ homes north of Austin simply not there any more thanks to a monster twister (it even tore some of the slabs out of the ground) but we have had a very wide power outage. At the current time SSZ and associated systems are back up and working. We are expecting another heavy wave of weather later tonite. If the current forcast is still set at midnite SSZ may go down from midnite CST to around 7AM CST tomorrow. Take care and some cover (if you can find it). Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

Topic: Technology and social consequences of digital commerce and financial cryptography. Speaker: Robert Hettinga, founding moderator of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston. The NH INTERNET SIG (Special Interest Group) welcomes you to its monthly meeting, the first Tuesday of every month. The next meeting is on June 3rd and will focus on the technology and social consequences of digital commerce and financial cryptography. Mr. Hettinga is also general chair of Financial Cryptography 1997, the world's first conference on Financial Cryptography. However, financial cryptography, the technology which underlies digital commerce in its most secure form, will have much more profound implications than merely the simplification of sales and distribution. It permits us to make anonymous *cash* transactions for everything from a billion-dollar foriegn exchange trade to, probably, the switching of internet packets themselves. If this promise is kept, it could change the fundamentals of our entire society. Please check out Mr. Hettinga's web site:http://www.vmeng.com/rah/ This meeting promises to be fun and informative for both the technical and non-technical computer users.

At the same time, Gomez sees to it that there is enough trouble and turmoil in the world that the World Leaders, even in democracies, can chip away at human and individual rights under the guise of dealing with various 'threats' that they, themselves, have concocted as a means of retaining power over the masses. Even as the governments of the world strive to bring everyone and everything, however minute, under tight control and regulation, Gomez and the Dark Allies are behind the scenes, helping to guide the development of a technology that will, along with television, be the ultimate weapon in their struggle for the domination of all mankind---the Computer. The rich and powerful have managed to lull us to sleep with the hypnotizing power of television---stealing our thoughts and our reasoning processes in our slumber, feeding us our reality via the airwaves...according to the 'official' party line. The government and the media have placed us on neat little shelves where we are numbered and labeled according to their own wants and needs. We are allowed the illusion of freedom of thought, and individual choice, as long as we have our 'Freedom of Thought Permit 1136.51.709' and don't stray too far from the permitted paths. In the great battles of the past the Dark Forces have always been beaten by the individuals scattered in the secret places, living unnoticed in obscurity. Living quietly and unobtrusively, forgotten about in the madness storming the land, they have kept alive the spark of Thought and Reason. They were able to go quietly about their work, making contact with the individuals who were ready to escape the madness and work towards restoring Sanity in the land. This time there will be no escape. Every man, woman and child on the face of the earth will have a dossier documenting their life from the time of their arrival on the face of the planet. Information gleaned from the Department of Motor Vehicles, their Social Security Number, banks, credit cards, magazine subscriptions, charitable and political contributions. When Gomez removes the masks of his human allies, revealing them as dark agents who have been rewarded with wealth and power for doing the bidding of the Evil One, the names of the misfits and wrong-thinkers will be spit out of the computers at the speed of light---to be rounded up and disposed of in the opening salvo of the new Holocaust. Excerpt from "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" (1989) http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I first read the above work in 1990 when it was considered by some to be Orwellian in scope and by others to be paranoid babbling. Since then I have watched the underlying theme of the work come to fruitation slowly but inexorably. Since my first reading of it I began taking steps to secure my files and communications and in the process I discovered cryptography. In 1990 that made me a paranoid oddball to be viewed with skepticism. Now there is a name for my disease: Cypherpunk Syndrome. Not A Hypochondriac ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SSN and Passports
by nobody＠huge.cajones.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Wednesday, May 28, 1997 - 02:10:42 MET >I don't know the reason, but the IRS tax code requires that all passport >applicants supply their SSNs to the IRS. The reason is obvious - they want to make sure they've got their hands on your wallet, especially if you might be the type of person who goes overseas, where there are more opportunities to move money outside their supervision. When I last renewed my passport, I had enough time to do it by mail (with the extra fee for expedited service.) Since I don't have legal knowledge that the Secretary of Social Security has issued me a number (my father gave me an SSN card when I was a kid, which he had probably had issued to him for my bank account), I had to strictly obey the law and leave the box blank :-) Not a problem. On the other hand, I know someone else who has the wrong name on her passport, because the State Department has trouble keeping track of divorced parents' name changes. She filled out the SSN on her passport applications, and a few weeks after she got the new passport, she got a letter from the IRS saying "Dear Ms. Wrong-Name: We don't have any tax returns with your name on them that match SSN that you gave the Passport Office. Please send us copies of all your last N tax returns!" Governments. How quaint.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Re: Nym Servers To: Cypherpunks Igor and D.V. have been discussing the viability of cyberpromo as a host site for remailers; Igor points out that many recipients will auto-trash anything from there. On the other hand, it's a good entry point for a middleman remailer or a nym remailer, as long as you can trash anything from there without also trashing your remailer's mail :-) In particular, your remailer was going to remove direct references to cyberpromo anyway. However, the prices have changed since I brought up the idea a month ago. At the time, they had auto-responders with POP mail - - - $50/2yrs POP+autoresponder, or $39 one-time for a mail forwarder. Now, however, they offer autoresponders for 3/$99 for three years, with no mention of POP mail or forwarding - I don't know if they've dropped the service (in favor of web hosting at $25/month), or if it's still there and just not advertised.

OECD attacks one of the Four Horsemen
by Tim May 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

News reports this morning that the OECD is moving out of strictly economic matters and is focussing on "child porn," calling a special meeting in July to discuss the laws of various countries and how they can be regularized to control the availability of porn and child porn on the Net. (The OECD is the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, or some permutation like that, and is a kind of "economic NATO," but with various non-European players. It was the OECD that David Aaron was special ambassador to, before assuming his current duties as Crypto Tsar.) So, one of the Horsemen is being invoked to control the Net. (And the story on CNN right after this one was about cryptography, with "drug smugglers and terrorists" prominently mentioned. The spin was that citizen-units need cryptography on the Net so that they'll feel more secure about Net commerce and thus buy more stuff, but that the security cannot be good enough to make the drug smugglers and terrorists--not to mention the pornographers!--safe from being caught.) The war is moving into its next phase. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.

There will be a "War on Porn" on the internet that will mirror the "War on Drugs" currently taking place. All that the government wants is their piece of the action. Like drugs, the porn will always be available, but the price will fluctuate according to the level of government control and/or illegality. The "War on Porn" will turn into another essential national industry which will become part of the GNP. The "winners" in this war will be the journalists who have covered the "War on Drugs" as they will merely have to dust off old stories and substitute "Porn" for "Drugs" wherever it occurs. The "loser" will be the Hoover Vacume Cleaner Company, whose development of Virtual Cathouse technology will fall victim to new legislation.

FWD: Statement on nym.alias.net

Newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server The alias.net domain has been put "on hold" by the internic. The result of this, among other things, is that host nym.alias.net no longer exists. Since the alias.net domain itself it not administered by the same people as nym.alias.net, I don't yet know why this is. Given that today is exactly 3 months after the creation anniversary of alias.net, and the fact that the internic does an extremely poor job of billing people and processing their payments, I suspect this has resulted from some sort of billing confusion rather than any kind of anti-remailer activity. However, I've not heard back from the alias.net administrators yet, so don't know anything for sure. I just wanted to get the word out that we have no intention of shutting down nym.alias.net. The machine is still up and running, and will be useable as soon as domain name service is restored.

1996 Wiretap Report
by Eric Blossom 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've been enjoying the 1996 Wiretap report. A couple of my favorite observations are: (1) Of the 1149 intercept applications authorized for 1996, 821 were for "Narcotics" and 114 were for "Gambling". I.e., 81% of the authorized intercepts were targeted at good old fashioned entrepreneurs. (2) In the past 11 years (1986 - 1996) a total of 9,912 intercept applications were approved. Of that number 5 (five!) were for "Arson, explosives, and weapons." Unless they've classified wiretaps against "suspected terrorists" in the "Other" category, it looks as if the LEOs don't think (targeted) wiretaps are useful for stopping small groups of modestly skilled people bent on blowing things up. No Shit.

Hi, In a message dated 97-05-28 04:39:24 EDT, you write: << Actions such as yours inspire trust in the cryptographic software that you write, if it passes the review. >> Thank-you very much. By the way, I realize that increasing the size of the encrypted file used for the contest is unnecessary and actually makes decryption easier in most cases. I'll let everyone @ toad.com know that the original encrypted message was "cut" and "pasted" over and over again to increase the final message to 50,000 bytes. So, there's is *decrypted* data repetition. (I know, it's was a stupid thing to do, but I believe in VSA2048's security, obviously.) However, as you probably have discovered, none of the *encrypted* data repeats or show any congruent/linear pattern. (In fact, there is no pattern whatsoever.) Also, along with the simple decryption tool, a simple flowchart of VSA2048 will be released that will show that VSA2048 is NOT is as simple as many seem to think. (No, it's not just a random XOR-er. Take a look at the VSACMProcessOperation and VSACMInternal functions. If it were simply a random XOR-er, the data could probably be decrypted in a few days, if even that long.) I truly hope that all of the cypherpunks out there are working on cracking the CRACKIT.DAT file used for the decryption contest or have worked on decrypting it but just gave up. (Contest details will be posted every now and then to cypherpunks(a)toad.com and other crypto-related mailing lists.) I realize that many of you out there live to take snake-oil crypto off the face of the planet. Not that it is snake-oil, but take a shot at hacking VSA2048. (Use your Crays, Delta, UNIXs, sync-ed Pentiums, mainframes, whatever. We don't care.) Regards, DataET Research
