Italy remembers murdered anti-Mafia judge ROME (May 23, 1997 3:43 p.m. EDT) - Italy on Friday mourned the judge whose ground-breaking Mafia investigations led to his murder five years ago. On Thursday, prosecutors in Sicily requested life jail terms for more than 30 bosses charged with the murder. Judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and three bodyguards were blown up on May 23, 1992, on a motorway outside the Sicilian capital Palermo. "Institutions and citizens have a duty not to forget," the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies (lower house), Luciano Violante, said in an anniversary message to the families of the victims. He called on Italians "to avoid the rhetoric of commemorations (and to) work with determination in the fight against the Mafia to defend those values of civility and legality" for which Falcone worked. Crimefighters including FBI director Louis Freeh, in Palermo for a memorial service, drove in convoy along the motorway. They stopped to pay tribute at the point where explosives packed under the road were detonated by remote control as Falcone's car passed. "We are not just honouring the memory of a single man but of many policemen, prosecutors and investigators which he represents," Freeh said. Prosecutors in the central Sicilian city of Caltanissetta requested life sentences on Thursday for 32 Mafiosi, including Cosa Nostra's jailed boss of bosses Salvatore Riina and some of his key lieutenants, who are charged with masterminding the murder. For Giovanni Brusca, the most senior member of the Mob to be captured in the past year, prosecutors sought a 30-year jail term. They cited mitigating circumstances since Brusca has admitted using the remote control device that triggered the blast. The trial was halted for five minutes on Friday as a mark of respect. The defence is expected to sum up late next month. A verdict is expected late this year. On Friday night thousands of Sicilians gathered for a pop concert held in Falcone's memory on an undeveloped tract of land in the city's outskirts near a villa where Riina spent part of his 23 years at large before his arrest in 1993. Falcone, a Sicilian, revolutionised Italy's war on the Mafia by tracking financial records that revealed the extent of the Mob's criminal activities and resources, and by persuading captured Mafioso to turn state's evidence. Testimony from "Men of Honour," who are sworn on pain of death to a code of silence or "omerta" when they are initiated into the Mafia, gave unprecedented insight into the feared society and led to the arrest of Riina and other bosses. The murder of Falcone, and two months later of his friend and colleague Paolo Borsellino in a car-bomb attack, horrified Italy and galvanised efforts to crack the Mafia and end the reign of terror imposed by Riina and his bloody Corleone clan. Palermo's chief prosecutor Giancarlo Caselli cautioned on Friday that Italy now risked slipping into complacency. "The Mafia seems to have become a second division problem, or even a non-problem, because people think...that police successes in the last few years are leading to a definitive solution of the problem. "That is not so," Caselli said in a radio interview. "The Mafia is still an extremely robust and highly dangerous beast." _________________________________________________________________ [ Global | Stateside | Sports | Politics | Opinions | Business | Techserver | Health & Science | Entertainment | Weather | Baseball | Basketball | Football | Hockey | Sport Server | MAIN ] _________________________________________________________________ Copyright ) 1997 Nando.net Do you have some feedback for the Nando Times staff? http://www.nando.net/newsroom/ntn/world/052397/world14_3679.html

> And some government spook is going to break into a church's computer > to find out if they are secret terrorists because they oppose this > or that government policy. This is an interesting point on which very little serious debate is taking place: Is it EVER okay for spooks to break into a church's computer to find out if they are secret terrorists? I'm not sure the answer is clearly one way or another, and I am willing to bet that the tone of the answers will mostly be emotional appeals to some idealistic standard or pessimistic nightmares. A meta question is whether the answer to a question like this one above can be answer strictly through a "for all practical purposes it would never affect me so it does not matter" answer.

True, if that's what the friends actually said, and if they were not induced to do so by being fed lethal information: don't go down with Bell, protect yourself, spill your guts. Recall that John Painter spoke to one or more of them and they hedged the remarks of the complaint, but he, too, saw the makings of a deal in the affadavit's allegations. Turning friends against friends is pretty common in investigations, using threats and promises of relief from possible charges, even saying that your friend is squealing on you. I was struck by how similar some remarks attributed to Bell were to those attributed to McVeigh, not that they were not made, but that the investigators chose to select just those to indicate lethal intent. The possible link between the McVeigh trial and Jim Bell's bust could indicate how the feds are itching to attack every advocate of anti-gov mayhem (no pun Tim). The IRS searching the Internet for incriminating advocacy is a warning of what's to come, as often predicted here. Time to study and ponder the 1st Amend -- which, by the way, Matt Blaze did at the NYC crypto forum last night to challenge Charney and Denning. Matt pulled out a copy and cited it, which may be a good indication of what he knows that we don't about what's coming.

That police like to confuse the issue as much as possible to their advantage? Of course it is a matter of civil rights. The police are a representative of the CIVIL authorities, you have truly missed the entire point of the constitution. > A license to practice medicine > gives you the ability to prescribe morphine.

Absolutely, but those statutes MUST be referencable back to the Constitution. Something I freely admit is not the current case. If it were the current case this would be a very quite mailing list indeed. What a citizen can and can't do with a weapon is covered in the 2nd. It includes police.

Absolutely, and if you are infering that I at any time in my life have EVER asserted that my speculation was the case then you need to take a reading comprehension course (as well as reflect on what the entire discussion on cypherpunks truly is at the core). What *should* be the case is the whole damn point. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

They considered such a state instrumentality in the army, the precise reason they didn't want a standing army in the first place (ie 2yr. limit on ALL military spending, something flaunted openly).

carbon fibers

Reading all the discussions about Jim Bell, I became interested in the carbon fibers that Jim allegedly planned to use to disrupt the work of compiters. I would appreciate if anyone explained me how these fibers work, how small and thin they are, and so on. I am also curious when and how this use of these fibers was invented. Thank you. igor

I am also curious when and how this > use of these fibers was invented. Carbon is commenly used in electronics because when compressed it generates a small voltage, ala your phone receiver. It can be both a insulator or a conductor depending on how one fills the outer valence band. Because its 'natural' state is -4 (it has 8 positions and only 4 are filled with electrons) it makes a fair conductor. Yet, it is not listed in most Activity Series for metals. I believe the idea is that since it is a reasonable conductor that when it falls across parallel lands on the pcb of a cpu it will short the lines. This would not only affect the reliability of the data because of current leakage but might in some cases cause an actual failure because of incorrect voltage or current. Some relevant physical data to consider: [1] Data from the Periodic Table: Carbon (C) 6/12.011 Valences +2, +4, -4 2.62 g/cm^3 @ STP M.P. 4100 B.P. 4470 Hexagonal crystal structure Electronegativity 2.55 (metal) (if anyone can find the conductivity I would appreciate it, it wasn't in [1] or the CRC that I have) [1] The Addison-Wesley Science Handbook: For scientists, writers, and science buffs G.J.

"How to E-X-P-0-S-E Infidelity" . . .
by Staff＠ExposeInfidelity.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From the offices of . . . Virginia Claims Corporation Statewide Claims Investigations Workers' Compensation Specialists 11232 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 220 Richmond, Va 23235-4714 Dear Friend: Hi...my name is Britt Phillips. If you suspect infidelity, or know someone who does . . .please take a couple of minutes to read this. I am very excited about the many people from all walks of life who have truly benefited from the publications that I have put together. I have been a fully licensed Private Investigator for almost eleven years. I currently work within a full caseload. My clients include attorney's,insurance companies, physicians as well as those in the corporate and private sector. I have very extensive knowledge as a direct result of working many different types of cases over this period of time. I currently focus my investigative services in the areas of insurance fraud and domestic and family issues. My background includes an honorable tour in the United States Navy as an Operations Specialist in the operational intelligence division. In this capacity I held a secret clearance and routinely handled very sensitive information vital to national security. In addition to these responsibilities I was also a member of an elite team who's members gathered intelligence as it relates to other countries around the world by photographing weapons and electronics systems and by gathering information about them useful in strategy. I have served at the Pentagon and have many personal memories of service to my country. I also have security experience in a major retail company as a loss prevention expert. In this capacity I continued my investigative skills and worked my way up to be placed in charge of three locations. It was while in this capacity that I was introduced to the investigative field and fell in love with all that it has to offer. I began in the trenches so to speak and worked my way up in a major investigative firm. I remained there for 4 years. I was well known by the company president as an eager investigator wanting to learn every type of case imaginable. I was turned down an offer to open a satellite office for this company during its expansion phase. I accepted a position with another firm and took over a lagging investigative company. I remained there for three years and ended my tenure with the title of investigations director! Some of my past cases include: Workers' Compensation, Narcotics, Homicide, Missing Persons, Adoption Searches, Skip Traces, Domestic & Family Issues,Child Custody, Infidelity, Criminal, Civil, Process Service, Witness Location, Background Checks, Contract Disputes, Asset Checks, Theft, Fraud, Personal Injury, Auto Liability, Automobile Repossession, Hit and Run and many many others. Our hope is that this has given you a tool from which to measure my knowledge and experience. Your comfort level is very important to us and it will remain the same way long after you purchase publications from our office. We are committed to providing YOU with the quality,efficient, honest, reliable service that you not only deserve but should demand. "How to Expose Infidelity" is a publication that I am very pleased to be a part of. It includes many helpful sections that will literally change your life forever. I can say this because most people make many mistakes when they are suddenly confronted with an infidelity situation. There also is the factor that many don't discover the infidelity until after the lawyers have walked away and the case is resolved. This can be a major loss to anyone especially when children and settlements are concerned. In this same light it is very crucial to document infidelity from the earliest stages. The early stages when infidelity is first suspected are the most crucial to your case. Now you can learn from my many years of field experience working these types of cases. This is a very important time and unfortunately most people allow their emotions to rule their intellect and do things that actually jeopardize their own case. It's only after these mistakes are pointed out that they are aware of them.Yes, that's right you guessed it, by then it's way to late! in "How to Expose Infidelity" YOU will learn what to do and when to do it. YOU will learn about hidden clues that are consistent with those involved in infidelity. YOU will learn the all important things to ask your attorney and investigator and how to interview each to make sure you are getting fair,competent representation. YOU will learn the most common mistakes that almost everyone makes and how to avoid them! YOU will learn how to channel your emotions and save your case instead of unknowingly doing things that compromise you. But please...don't take my word for it. Read for yourself what other current owners have said: "Your help made the greatest difference in my personal situation. I was able to reach a much better settlement and owe many thanks to you as well as my attorney. Your information revealed facts I previously was not aware of. If your guide had not been available, I would have been among the many who make the same mistakes on your list! Many thanks for a very helpful tool." "I purchased your infidelity guide because I had never gone through a divorce. Pride kept me from calling a private investigator to discus my situation. After reading your information I interviewed two investigator's.The first one was more interested in my retainer than my case. I used the techniques learned from your guide to quickly dismiss him and retained the second one. We won the case!" "My attorney commented that often in domestic cases her job can be very difficult at times, especially due to the mistakes that many clients routinely make. I was so glad that I had read your information beforehand.Thank you for being in my corner." If you or someone you know find themselves in the unfortunate situation in which infidelity could very well be a real possibility, YOU owe it to yourself to find out the true facts as they are happening. As a top private investigator I have helped literally hundreds of people restore peace of mind during this trying, emotional period in their lives. "How to E-X-P-O-S-E Infidelity" is an A-Z guide that walks the reader throughout the complete process including: ~ Clues to look for ~ Mistakes that are almost always made by those who suspect their spouse of infidelity ~ How to avoid costly common mistakes ~ What to look for when talking to an investigator ~ The interview process and hiring an attorney ~ Complete question and answer session including answers to many questions routinely asked over the years. Take action and restore peace of mind today. You owe it to yourself to find out the truth. The cost of "How to E-X-P-O-S-E Infidelity" is $19.95.

Too few cypherpunks nodes.

17 Dec '03

Ladies and Gentlemen, As the time goes on and I see what is happening inside and outside our list, I am getting increasingly concerned about the small number of hosts in the cypherpunks network. Practically, most of the people use only two nodes, Kent's and mine, and thanks to Jim, we have three operating ones. I do not believe that it is good enough. If anyone has any creative idea of how to get a couple more reliable nodes, please share it. igor

I have mostly lurked on the list for several years without doing very much posting. I am employed in an area of law enforcement where I don't get involved with the the darker side of the process but I often listen to others who talk about various methods they use to make a case against somebody they have decided to "get." It is well known that if the information provided in an initial interview of a potential witness is not damaging enough that veiled threats implying the person being interviewed will be going along for the ride is enough to induce them to spill whatever beans the investigator is after. I recognize the need to lean on those who are witholding needed information but the method is often used to trump up the most outrageous accusations and manufactured evidence imaginable. Add to this the fact that most of us have at some point made statements that we would like to "kill" a certain individual and similar off the cuff statements and almost anyone can look very guilty of almost anything. Since I initially recognized the federal action against Mr. Bell as an all out effort to get him no matter what the cost I was not surprised to see that the first interviews with his friends were fairly tame material and the second interviews were very damaging to Mr. Bell. Once you put enough fear into people their memories become very creative. > I was struck by how similar some remarks attributed to > Bell were to those attributed to McVeigh, not that they > were not made, but that the investigators chose to > select just those to indicate lethal intent. I have worked with a sufficient volume of evidence in all manner of cases that I am convinced that any paramilitary or military type of person could be arrested and one would be able to duplicate much of the evidence that is being introduced in the McVeigh case. I think that if McVeigh and Bell traded places that each would still be convicted of some of the charges against them. I have seen carnivorous prosecuters turn totally ambiguous evidence into a smoking gun against very average people even without the ferocious intent that the government has in the McVeigh and Bell cases to produce a conviction at any cost. > The IRS searching the Internet for incriminating advocacy > is a warning of what's to come, as often predicted here. In my time on the list I have noticed that and it was particularly brought home to me when I read the story posted to the list called "Webworld and the Circle of Unuchs." I think the author must be one of the list spooks because the connections he makes or makes up are strikingly similar to those which would be conjectured by a good evidentiary analyst. I used to print cypherpunk posts for a fellow employee who works computer crime cases and he would demean them because they weren't technical enough for his taste. Now he follows the list religiously because it lets him know whats going on and where things are going with privacy and encryption. > Time to study and ponder the 1st Amend -- which, by the way, > Matt Blaze did at the NYC crypto forum last night to challenge > Charney and Denning. Matt pulled out a copy and cited > it, which may be a good indication of what he knows that > we don't about what's coming. What I learn on my job is a world apart from the publics perception of what goes on in law enforcement. It is scary to realize how many people suffer terribly just because they are so trusting in the system when the system doesn't really care in many cases. I am certain that it must be just as true and more at higher levels of government where we see and know so little of what really takes place behind the scenes. If I had to work in an area of law enforcement where I faced pressure to do many of the things that others do to produce convictions I don't think I would last very long. At least I hope I wouldn't.

How despicable! The cracker installed nothing. From the first time they used the bbixler account I have known of them. Another interesting aspect is that since taking on the CDR I have had 3 attacks (previous ones were denial of service) while in the year previous to that I had only one. I think there is an object lesson buried in there somewhere. What I want to know is if he ever realized he was running on a 486DX2/80 w/ 24M of RAM, 1G of hard-drive, and a version of Linux that is over 2 years old? What a rube... The bbixler account was a trip-wire with a very silly password intentionaly left there (as are several others) just waiting for some happy jack to find one. I also do this with my IP's. It is actualy very effective. I once nabbed a bozo from the Richardson, Tx AT&T office who was using my system to get to other systems. I was monitoring the account and noticed an email go out to a buddy of his with his office number in it. I called, he shit bricks, I asked for money or that he desist from using my system. He desisted. I also have a pretty quick re-install plan as well. I have a basic image on a spare drive installed in the box. Swap cables and we are back up. I can do a complete re-install and be configured in about 3 hours from CD archives and the original source material which is on machines not on the Internet (it's my Amiga 2000). This does not include the user home dir's which I don't protect, with the users full knowledge and agreement. Their data, their problem (I push fast cycle times, the use of off-line encryption for security, and digital signing for authority); I provide services only and TEMPORARY file storage on my file systems. Linux on old 486's is wonderful! Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

I know of at least one other indipendant node that will be coming up in the near future. I am also in the process of putting in a satellite location to my current site about 30 miles east of Austin to better serve that part of the community. That site is intended among other things to host backup servers for the various services of CyberTects. Among these will be a server to run the various mailing lists in case of a primary site incident. It will currently be connected via modem but a switch to ISDN or ADSL is in the works. We also hope to kick the primary SSZ site up from ISDN to ADSL in the near future as well. I can't at this time provide even tentative go-live dates, but I will be digging a power trench there this afternoon if it quits raining, then we have to install the phones and air conditioner. Things are improving but only slowly. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

Actually, it is 10 million keyboards with smartcard readers. Unless Intel increased the lot size. I talked with a person at Intel attempting to purchase the devices back in October, 1996. He expressed the difficulties they were having finding a keyboard vendor who understood that the CPU should not be directly involved in the smartcard operation. From this discussion, I assumed the purpose of the devices is authentication. The keyboards might be for an ecommerce solution or they might be used in conjunction with Intel's P7, which will support encrypted instruction sets. --Lucky Green <shamrock(a)netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.

international rates
by minjiang＠hotmail.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello, You were referred to us as someone who makes regular international calls. If this is not the case, please forgive the intrusion- we won't send you any other messages. These are, by far, the lowest international calling rates anywhere.

Beware of encrypted processors bearing gifts...

I find the notion of an extremely wide deployment (as any Intel x86 product will be) of machines with processors that support encrypted instruction sets and associated smart cards deeply disquieting. It seems to me that this is enabling technology that would allow the insertion of autonomous encrypted 'little brothers', into operating systems and perhaps major net applications such as web browsers as well.. These 'little brother' observers could be made completely opaque to even determined and sophisticated users - with encrypted code and the potential for encryption of all their data it would require breaking the encryption for an independant entity to understand what such an agent was doing and who it was doing it for. And by making support of such agents part of the encrypted inner ring of an OS (Win99?), it might be very nearly impossible to run the OS without the agent or agents present and operating properly. And as more and more PCs are net connected, such agents would not need to operate entirely autonomously, as they could communicate over encrypted links with their Big Brother somewhere else. The sea change in computing that would result from providing a mechanism for secret, black box, unknowable and unalterable code to run on the worlds personal computers is very significant. Up to now it has been possible, with effort and skill and intelligence, to determine what the code of any OS or application did by decompiling it, or use of software ICEs, debuggers, and even hardware monitors such as ICE's and logic analyzers. Presumably an encrypted Intel processor will reveal these secrets only to a very limited group of trusted developers, and perhaps even then only information about the application or layer the person is authorized to work on. Having both the ability to know what code is doing, and the ability to alter it has so far detered most attempts to put unfriendly agents into OS or applications code. It has been too easy to discover them, and too easy to disable them for this to be a really effective tool of social control, as witnessed by the failure of generations of copy protection schemes. But a truly secure encrypted processor changes things a lot - both understanding what the code does and modifying it become near impossible. While one can readily understand and even sympathize with the use of such entities to control and perhaps even largely eliminate software piracy and other theft of intellectual property, the potential uses of secure agents to implement more sinister social policy are frightening. A three way encrypted handshake between an encrypted agent that was part of the OS and a smart card and software at an ISP could be used to enforce an internet drivers license law for example, with no packets being forwarded by the ISP without hard authentication (even up to biometrics) of the user. And it would be rather trivial to disallow use of "unapproved" software to communicate over the net, making enforcement of GAK much more complete. One could even use such a mechanism to forbid use of any uncertified software on a net connected machine, thus making it rather hard to use such rogue applications as PGP. And given that independant review of such secret OS code would be near impossible, adding a Digital Telephony style watcher that could be turned on via an encrypted packet from the net to record the user's actions and what he typed or even access encryption keys or plaintext of encrypted traffic would simply require collusion between the OS supplier and the government, perhaps under pressure of antitrust enforcement or other suitable incentivization. Discovering that such a secret trojan was in the encrypted inner kernal code would not be easy, especially if it was only used rarely... Perhaps most sinister, as more and more of the code run on a PC becomes encrypted and opaque, it gets easier and easier for a trojan created not by a Big Brother state, but by criminal elements or foreign or industrial spies, to hide amidst all the other layers of encrypted code, safe from being detected by all but the few in possesion of the master keys or special hardware required to understand what was going on.

I strongly agree with you. While the motivation that lead to the development of such processors stems probably from the desire to thwart software piracy, it will make implementation of the "Internet Driver License" that much easier. [For those new to Cypherpunks, I consider the requirement for an Internet Driver License as inevitable as the sun raising tomorrow morning. While the event is technically in the future, it will occur with a certainty that it may just as well have already happened in the past. Read the graphic novel "Watchmen" if you don't understand what I am talking about. Sure, there is a small but no-zero probability that the Earth will be vaporized before sunrise by a timebomb left by aliens 3.5 million years ago. That's why I wrote "as inevitable", as opposed to "inevitable".] Smartcard readers and processors with encrypted instruction sets are just a first step to the ultimate goal, requiring biometric authentication to the applications on your machine. Some will claim they won't use such machines and stick to their old Pentium Pro's. I just threw out an old 286, because I couldn't find a single person that wanted it for free. Your 200 MHz Pentium Pro will be just as useful as that old 286 a few years hence. Sure, it will still operate and you can even run some old programs on it. But it simply will be unsuitable as your primary machine. Instead, you will find yourself using a box that runs code you can't possible figure out what it does and requires biometric authentication for login.

CDR & SSZ
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, I am in the process of expanding my business. While this will not effect the stability of the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer, in fact we hope to make it more stable, it will mean some additional resources being available in the near future. I unfortunately can't say more on this now. However, I can say that 'CyberTects' will most likely cease to exist in a matter of days. It will be subsumed in the creation of a newer and larger business entity (we are currently fighting over the name). This new entity will be taking on the SSZ network & its user base. I will still be directly responsible for the operation and customer satisfaction of SSZ users. There will be more announcements in the near future. However, if you have specific questions (no answer promised) please feel free to send them to me. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com
