3DES Weakness
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

NYT-Markoff reports today on Biham and Knudsen's paper on 3DES weakness, "Cryptanalysis of the ANSI X9.52 CBCM Mode," noted here a few days ago. The ANSI X9.F1 committee has held up implementing its standard as a result, and may have to wait for AES. Credit is given to the worldwide DES crack. http://www.nytimes.com See a mirror: http://jya.com/3des-weak.htm Get the Biham/Knudsen paper: http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/%7Ebiham/publications.html

T 1563 and pals
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 3/31/98 7:39 AM John Gilmore John Young J Orlin Grabbe Reading the stuff on the pals at http://www.jya.com/pal-nukes.htm http://www.research.att.com/~smb/nsam-160/pal.html jogged my memory. After we completed the Forth implementation of the Missile Secure Cryptographic Unit at least Hal Pruett, Duane DeWerff, myself, and perhaps several others were invited to NSA at Fort Meade in about 1985-6. NSA employee Bill Legato assailed me for using Forth for the implementation of the MSCU. Legato hated Forth and relayed his hate to Sandia management. This is one reason I was replaced as project leader by Tom Evans who was later replaced by Eric Disch. Possibly surprising, however, is that NSA sent Forth expert Don Simard to visit Sandia for several years. Kent Parsons commented to me that he thought Simard was an NSA spy sent to see what we were up to at Sandia. Simard, along with Bill Goldrick, were the two reviewers of my SAND report now seen at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm EE Times, March 30, 1998 page 8 A Java chip being to ship in quantity SAN FRANCISCO - Patriot Scientific Corp. surged to the head of the silicon pack at the JavaOne conference last week, showing the PSC1000 RISC processor, which is shipping in quantity. Well be selling the chip for under $10 in volume and aiming at deeply embedded, low-power applications such as handheld devices and factory-floor control systems, said Phil Morettini, vice president of Patriot (San Diego). Competing offering from LG Semicon and NEC Corp., each based on Sun Microsystems Inc.s picoJava core, are not yet available, although select customers are said to have samples. Separately, Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) said that it has decided not to sell its Java-specific CPU on the merchant market. The company unveiled the innovative processor last fall. Here is their web site. http://www.ptsc.com/ Charles Moore, inventor of Forth, is author of the Shboom Java native code compiler for the PCS100. Rockwell built a Forth-like chip many years ago. I met Randy Dumse, who then worked for Rockwell, at a trade show. I got a copy of the Rockwell R65F11 chip manual from Dumse. Dumse quit Rockwell to start NewMicros seen at http://www.newmicros.com/ Click on history to see http://www.newmicros.com/history.html Of course, the Harris RTX 2000 chip used by NASA is a descendant of Charles Moores Novix Forth chip. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ Ballard, I was told by Jeff Allsup of Wood Hole, used polyForth to discover the wrecks of the Titanic and Bismarck. A central debate is whether a high-level language should be used for a weapons programmer. The implementer must be able to account for each bit. In Forth I can. Possibility exists that an disgruntled implementer might 'spike' a weapon so that it went off at an unintended time. Sandia supervisor Don Schroeder was an OUTSPOKEN critic of the T 1563 nuclear bomb controller. SCHROEDER,DONALD H. (505)845-8409 DHSCHRO (505)844-9478 0519 DHSCHRO(a)sandia.gov The T 1563 did not work very well. One reason is that it was written in about 112,000 lines of assembler. NSA was reluctant to approve use of an operating system or even a high-level language for crypto implementation for the reasons that security could not be guaranteed. Sandia did not have the resources required to write its own secure operating system and high-level language. This is why we used the Forth operating system and high-level language. Schroeder division employee Mike Sharp SHARP,MICHAEL W. (505)845-8444 MWSHARP (505)284-3850 1138 MWSHARP(a)sandia.gov wrote a T 1563 implementation in, I think C or Pascal. Henry Newgass modified the transient part of command.com so that on power-up a PC directly entered Sharps program. Jerry Allen, who also saw the merits of using an operating system and high-level language, funded Neugass. ALLEN,DOUGLAS J. (505)845-9624 DJALLEN (505)844-7593 1201 DJALLEN(a)sandia.gov I wrote the purchase order. I learned several months ago that Sandia built a PC version of the T 1563 called the T 1663, I was told, which was supplied to the Air Force. The threaded code - compiled native code battle continues. I am sort-of happy to be back [somewhat] doing MASM code - along with a bit of Forth and Forth assembler on the 80c32. I see that J Orlin Grabbe is linking Permissive Action Links at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ I read Both strong links must be closed electrically -- one by specific operator-coded input and one by environmental input corresponding to an appropriate flight trajectory -- in order for the weapon to be armed. George Dullek and Jon Bryan worked together on accellerometers for flight trajectory sensing. Dullek and Bryan are Forth programmers. DULLECK JR.,GEORGE R. (505)844-2628 GRDULLE (505)844-8480 1073 GRDULLE(a)sandia.gov BRYAN,JON R. (505)844-2015 JRBRYAN (505)844-6161 1003 JRBRYAN(a)sandia.gov Sandia had a division devoted to crystal oscillators. The oscillators for the micro occasionally fail to start - a bad scene if this happens when trying to arm a nuke. Dick Adams, also in department 2300, was in charge of oscillators. Adams never seemed to many of us too interested in his job. Adams took an early voluntary separation package from Sandia with a large educational retraining incentive. And went to cooking school in San Francisco, Bob Wayland told me. The real world again. Thanks to good research, some whistleblowing, and Internet details of fuzing the US nuclear arsenal are being revealed. Lets ALL hope for SETTLEMENT of this unfortunate mess before it gets WORSE. I want my money and I am out of this mess. Later bill

Political Test
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

THE SACREDBULL BASIC ENGLISH AND MATH TEST FOR FEDERAL POLITICIANS SECTION I: Competency in English 1. The phrase, "Congress shall make no law..." means a. Congress shall make no law... b. Congress shall make some laws... c. Americans can do anything they want, except things my colleagues and I, or our largest contributors, personally dislike. d. Congress can do anything it damn well pleases, starting with stacking the courts with our toadies. 2. What is the correct interpretation of the phrase "...the right of the people...shall not be infringed"? a. The right of the people...shall not be infringed. b. The right of the people...shall be infringed, but only gradually, moderately and for the good of children and battered women (except the ones we batter). c. The right of the people is actually a state's right and the states are a bunch of wusses who'll put up with anything as long as we offer them enough tax-funded loot in return for selling out their citizens. d. The people are all sitting on their butts watching TV, so we can infringe any damn thing we feel like infringing, and we'll get the media to screw you if you think otherwise. 3. What is the meaning of the phrase, "The powers ... are reserved to the states, or to the people..." a. The powers...are reserved to the states, or to the people... b. The interstate commerce clause gives us the authority to do anything. Therefore there are no other powers left to reserve for those other twits. Too bad for them. c. Where'd you get a stupid idea like that? We're more powerful and have bigger guns than they do, and that's all that really matters, isn't it? d. Hahahahahahahahahaha! 4. Essay Question: Write a bill (a proposed law, you twit) in plain English, for once. We just want to see if you can do it. Extra credit if it's constitutional or can be read and understood in less than ten minutes by a high school student of average intelligence. SECTION II: Competency in Mathematics 1. A fugitive oil baron named Roger gives $300,000 to the Democratic National Committee for the specific purpose of gaining "access" to the president. For that, he is given six invitations to the White House, but does not get the pipeline he wanted. How much money should Roger give to the DNC next time? a. Nothing. People shouldn't be able to bribe their way into the presence of public officials. b. This is a trick question. Next time, a Republican president might be in office, and Roger should give his money to the RNC, instead. c. I know the president. If Roger gives me the money, I'll give Roger access. Heck, I'll even throw in some hot babes, since Roger said the babes at the White House were too busy stroking Clinton to pay any attention to him. d. $600,000. (Roger's answer, in testimony before Congress 9/18/97.) 2. According to the administration's own projections, Americans will soon face an 82 percent income tax rate if present entitlement programs and levels of federal growth persist. How many years before American citizens rise up in rebellion? a. Americans should never be driven to that kind of desperation. We should immediately begin rolling the federal government back to constitutional levels. b. Don't worry, we're going to reform the tax system and, as Rep. Mitch McConnell says, "virtually abolish the IRS as we know it"; we'll just have an 82 percent national sales tax, instead. c. As soon as my term in office is over and I can get an oceanside place in Costa Rica, complete with Uzi-toting bodyguards. d. What do we care? We'll just let Janet burn the little jerks and claim they committed suicide. 3. The federal budget is...oh...some great big figure in the gazillions. The national debt is probably about five trillion dollars, give or take. The annual deficit is, you know, billions and billions and billions (not counting off-budget stuff like Amtrak and the Post Office). Budgets for Social Security and Medicare are increasing at some really wowie-zow of a percent every year. (Not like you care what the actual figures are, anyway.) Congress and the president have just cooked up a tax cut package filled with goodies for favored special interests. Please explain how you can claim the budget will be balanced by 2002. a. We can't do it without extreme cutbacks in government. Anybody who says we can is lying like a congressman. b. Revenues will...uh...yeah...revenues will increase because of all those tax breaks and...uh...the economy will be just perfect forever and ever and...uh...maybe some plague or something will come along and kill off all those money-sucking old folks...or something like that, maybe. c. The media said it's true, didn't they? What more proof do you want? d. Hey, that's for the suckers who are here in 2002 to figure out. I'll be in Costa Rica by then. e. Well, actually, now that I think about it, I'll be in some other country with an army so they can fight off the U.S. troops who will be sent to take my loot like they did Noriega's. Like, hey, I stole mine fair and square! Correct answers: B, C, D and E (From the politicians' point of view, that is. Hey, you know, whatever we can get away with while the folks are watching TV...) Correct answer, in reality: L-E-A-D T-H-E-R-A-P-Y ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ----- (c) 1997 Charles Curley and Claire Wolfe.

CNN - DeathMonger

17 Dec '03

SITE SOURCES Contents Help! Search CNN Networks Two Saskatchewan Freemen Assassinated One of the Freemen holds a drink during the 81-second standoff on April 1, 1998 Assassination stemmed from Microsoft standoff? Bienfait, SASK (AP) TruthMonger I and TruthMonger II were assassinated in an 81-second standoff with an unidentified team of freelance assassins who accomplished their goal without firing a single shot. A few short minutes after the CoalDust Saloon opened for business, a limousine bearing Redmond, Washington, license plates pulled up outside the bar, and a half-dozen black-clad, heavily armed figures raced into the building, behind the cover of smoke and tear-gas grenades. They were met by a heavy fusillade of gunfire from a variety of surprised morning drunks who were onery as snot, not yet having finished their first beer of the morning. The assassins rushed into the bar and established strategic positions, only to find that the two TruthMonger entities who were the target of the raid already lay dead on the floor. They quickly rushed out of the CoalDust Saloon and piled into the limousine, which headed for the American border. The day-shift barmaid who investigated the scene--in the absence of local RCMP, who were busy on the reservation legally murdering WagonBurnersnoted that TruthMonger I and TruthMonger II had both been shot in the head from behind. Blanc Weber, a member of the Circle of Eunuchs who claimed to have been just passing through Bienfait, at the time, and who was reported to be standing behind the TwoMongers when the shooting began, theorized that the fatal shots came from the grassy knoll behind the bar. When confronted by an angry crowd of drunken losers who pointed out that Webers anger over the TruthMonger Cult of One Clan including references to her in their Death Threat!!!(s) against an unnamed billionaire from Redmond, Washington, she bought a round of drinks for the house, and the matter was quickly dropped. Jeff Sandquist, a Microsoft employee who had earned his bones by cleaning up the mess that Circle of Eunuchs founder, C.J. Parker had made of the computer systems at the offices of a local mobile home manufacturer, verified Blanc Webers claims about the shots coming from the grassy knoll, noting that three bums (Mark Hedges, Robert Canizales, and a shadowy figure known only as Sameer) had been picked up shortly after the incident by Estevan City Police, and taken for a free breakfast at the Husky Truckstop. Sandquist and Weber were picked up and spirited away by a strange figure who refused to reveal his identity, but noted that it was imperative for the group to leave quickly, because at night, the ice weasels come. TruthMongerI.jpg TruthMongerII.jpg Local members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Gestapo later indicated that their investigation into the matter revealed that local law enforcement personnel in Redmond, Washington, could not find any suspects in their files matching the description of a billionaire in a limousine. A follow up inquiry by CNN reporters proved to be unsuccessful, as all of the officers involved on both sides of the border had retired by the end of the day. At a wake held for the TwoMongers after a truckload of Olympia beer unexpectedly arrived at the bar, the massive crowd that suddenly appeared out of nowhere reminisced about their fallen drinking buddies. It was probably an act of mercy, since they had been suffering greatly since installing Win95 on their systems. ~Anonymous Ever since TM-Is cousin died of a mysterious heart-attack after being put in a cage with the female guerillas, we knew it was only a matter of time before Blanc Weber saw the light and decided to become a Claire Wolfe in Sheeple's clothing. ~Nobody I *love* this bar ~A visitor from Boston © 1998 Cable News Network, Inc.

The first thing I noticed about veil's anonymity site was that they don't seem very proud of who they are and their company's background, since they don't provide any information of that nature.

Your manual tells all and has given me the tools I need to succeed, finally a genuine Internet insider tells all! If you're doing business on the web or have ever wanted to, this is a must have. You're the best, I'm making your manual into my Internet Bible! Thanks a million!" Best Regards, (Elaine forester) Florida WOW!, What a value your program is! Just the secrets on email was worth the price alone, not to mention all the other valuable things you included. I have already put up some ads and I'm getting positive results. Tom Hatcher - Minnesota Hello Internet friend, Some of you may already have purchased some "electronic marketing course" or tried to market some product online. Maybe you even made a sizeable profit! Whatever the case may be; No matter how successful you are right now, you can profit tremendously from what we are about to tell you! FACT: ANYONE WHO HAS THE DRIVE TO SUCCEED CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A SIZABLE PROFIT ON THE INTERNET. FACT: NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY DO IT. Why would people want to pass up this extremely valuable money making opportunity? Because learning is the key to succeeding online. Marketing on the Internet requires a wealth of knowledge. To learn everything you need to know about Marketing on the Internet takes more time than any human being can spare. The small amount of Internet marketers actually making a sizable profit know this all too well. Let me explain. Right now there are over sixty million people surfing the Internet. By the year 2000, that figure is expected to more than double. With so many people using the Internet, smart "net"repreneur's are taking advantage of what this new (in terms of true commercial application) and exciting medium has to offer. The Internet presents one of the best ways to make money that has ever been introduced. On any given day you have the opportunity to reach more people than most cities have population wise. This is the reason so many businesses are scrambling to make their presence known on the Internet. CONSIDER THIS POSSIBILITY: You wake up in the morning and you put on a pot of coffee. As you sip on your cup of hot "brew" you saunter over and turn your computer on. Then, as your monitor glows from dim to bright, you find that you have inquiries from all sorts of people requesting what you have to offer. Later, after you have finished reading your inquiries, you stroll out to your mailbox. You find it is filled with letters from people from all across the world! What's even better though, is that the letters are FILLED WITH MONEY; cash, checks, and money orders. Then, after tallying up the totals, you find that you have made anywhere between $200 to $1,000 and it isn't even one o'clock in the afternoon. Think of it: NO boss, NO traffic, and NO annoying Co-workers. Wouldn't it feel great to wake up in the morning knowing you are going to be making excellent money but don't have to leave your house to do it!?! Wouldn't your life be far less complicated? The truth is, you can be one of those who become financially independent via the Internet. AND THE BEST PART IS...IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A LOT OF MONEY!!

We can remember how overwhelming the Internet seemed when we were first introduced to it. We realized the marketing and profit potential the Internet holds, but really had no idea how to pursue it. In our thirst for answers and knowledge, we purchased everything we could find that had information on the How, What, and Where. We spent thousands of dollars, but we now know what works and what doesn't. No where, in all of our searching, could we find a complete packet of information for all of our questions.

You will be surprised how quickly you can be making money on the Internet! So you are probably thinking to yourself, this is AWESOME, but how much? $249.95, $199.95 maybe even $99.95? You may have seen other companies marketing "How To" information on the Internet and charging these prices. People are actually buying these packages at these prices. Why? People want to know how to market a product or service the "Right" way on the Internet. "How to Profit from the Internet" could easily sell for any of the above prices. However, we feel that we would rather help those who may not have the ability to pay such a price in order to be successful. That is why we are offering "How to Profit from the Internet" for the unbelievable low price of $39.95. That's right, that was not a typo...$39.95, and all the BONUSES worth over $1,000 are FREE!!!! Still skeptical??? Lets put that to rest right now. We will make this completely risk free for you. If you are not 100% satisfied with the information you receive, and believe that you cannot use it to start a successful business or increase your current business profits, return it within 10 days and we will refund your money.

Practicing for 'saving' America?
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

They had bodies. Bodies of these men's brothers, crew members from the helicopter or Delta soldiers, it was hard to tell from the angles and distances of the camera shots. They were dragging a body through the street at the end of a rope, kicking and poking at the lifeless form. It was ugly and savage, and the men went back out to the hangar and cleaned their weapons and waited for orders that would send them back out. Delta Sgt. Paul Howe was ready. If he was going back out, he was going to kill as many Somalis as he could. He'd had enough. No more rules of engagement, no more toeing some abstract moral line. He was going to cut a gruesome path through these people. http://www3.phillynews.com/packages/somalia/dec12/default12.asp And what happens if we, as citizens, resist the assault of minimally trained local and regional law enforcement agencies operating with massive firepower donated to them by the federal government, and acting under the direction of local government figures who have personal agendas and local political axes to grind? We have already seen the future of law enforcement in the travesties that have already occurred in our cites and towns as a result of the mythical War On Drugs. There is a remarkable parallel in our sending troops into both Somolian and American cities to 'protect the people' from WarLords and DrugLords. In both cases, the Lords die of old age while our self-proclaimed protectors "cut a gruesome path" through the Peasants. In the early 80's, as I watched the helicopters touch down in the Ettersburg, California schoolyard and heavily armed men in camoflage piling out in full view of the children, I had an uneasy feeling that what I was observing went far beyond the stated objective of CAMP (Campaign Against Marihuana Production). After observing the armed assault against mostly happy-hippies living in the hills for some period of time, I eventually realized that the true objective of CAMP was to promote cooperation and interagency comradship between federa l, state and local law enforcement groups. The local yokel volunteers from various law enforcement agencies got to play with the Big Boys, and with the Big Boys Toys, and use the cover of legality to become fully immersed in the mentality needed for an unquestioning assault on the populace. Why pass better laws when you can just arm your enforcers with heavier weaponry, instead? Why provide true justice when you can just make everything a felony and plead it down, instead? Why bother telling 'good' lies when the Herdizens have become so numbed to the lies and thievery of their rulers that 'bad' lies will suffice? Why bother pretending that there will be jacuzzis waiting at the end of the ride in the cattle-car when the Sheeple are passively being herded into them by the strength of an established culture of oppression? Why bother claiming that you 'only want Austria'... ~~~~ Toto <toto(a)sk.sympatico.ca> ~~~~

Cryptography and DNA
by Dmitry Goldgaber 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

"Chaffing and winnowing in molecular biology" Ronald L. Rivest's method for hiding information by breaking it in to packets mixed with other meaningless packets is similar to an approach which is used in organic systems, at the DNA level. In our bodies, packets of meaningful information from the DNA used for encoding protein sequences, called exons, are mixed with meaningless stretches of DNA, called introns. Certain rules exist for putting protein coding sequences together which are based on information around the intron/exon border. The analogy between cryptographic techniques and biological processes at the genetic level are striking. I believe that principles of protien coding may be useful to the cryptographic community. In turn, the principles and methods used by the cryptographic community may be useful to those who are analysing DNA sequences which are available and are becoming available from the Human Genome Project and other non-human Genome projects.

Meganet Corporation Ships Virtual Matrix Encryption Nationwide; new $1.2 Million Challenge Begins Today
by ichudov＠algebra.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

_I_ am not joking on this April Fools' day. I picked it up from a stock website. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Wednesday April 1, 11:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Meganet Corporation Meganet Corporation Ships Virtual Matrix Encryption Nationwide; New $1.2 Million Challenge Begins Today LOS ANGELES, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Meganet Corporation, who challenged Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - news), Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - news), AT&T (NYSE: T - news), NCR (NYSE: NCR - news) and many other high tech companies with their unbreakable encryption is shipping VME98 nationwide. As of today, April 1st, 1998, anyone in the continental United States of America can buy VME98 directly from the Meganet web site at http://www.meganet.com. Prices for the standard edition are only $100 for a fully operational application. After 12 months of Research & Development, Meganet Corporation completed 21 different commercial versions of VME98 last month, and the product is now being sold nationwide through the World Wide Web. Virtual Matrix Encryption is the strongest encryption available today, and the product is available ONLY in the United States of America. For the time being, there are no sales in any other countries, though Meganet Corporation is considering applying for an export license. Meganet Corporation also keeps on working on standardizing VME with the different standards committees. Meganet Corporation is also launching their 3rd challenge which is worth $1.2 million over the next 12 months. Starting today, and for the next 12 months, Meganet Corporation will post a monthly $100,000 challenge for registered users of VME98. This new challenge shows Meganet Corporation has absolute confidence that VME98 is completely unbreakable. Today's date also marks 1 year from the first 1 million dollar challenge that brought Meganet Corporation nationwide recognition. The challenge lasted 45 days and over 55,000 people participated. None have succeeded. Today also marks the end of the second challenge which lasted over 6 months, where Meganet Corporation challenged the top 250 corporations in the U.S. to test and break VME97. None have succeeded. The challenge solution will be posted on the Meganet web site at http://www.meganet.com. Meganet Corporation has a U.S. patent pending for VME. The technology uses a new field of encryption and a new algorithm to encrypt data that is completely different from any existing method. VME is the only algorithm that does not encrypt the data or transfer it. By comparing the data to a random built-in Virtual Matrix, a system of pointers is being created. These pointers are meaningless outside the context of the matrix they belong to, while being repeatedly encrypted in a plethora of algorithms. Even in the unlikely event that the algorithms are compromised, the set of pointers discovered is completely unrelated to the original data, and there is no way to derive the original data out of the pointers set. The Virtual Matrix encryption enables the world's first and only unbreakable encryption. More information about Meganet Corporation and the Virtual Matrix Encryption can be found at http://www.meganet.com.

Prologue 16/0 - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Title: Prologue 16/0 SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS Prologue 16/0 SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!! First of all, let me stress the importance of cracking in our everyday life. Cracking it's not just about software, it's about information, about all patterns of life. To crack is to refuse to be controlled and used by others, to crack is to be free. But you must also be yourself free from petty conventions in order to crack properly. You must learn to discern cracking possibilities all around yourself, and believe me, the development of this ghastly society brings every day new codes, protections and concealing mechanisms. All around us grows a world of codes and secret and not so secret patterns. Codes that are at times so familiar and common that we do not even notice them any more... and yet they are there to fool us, and yet they offer marvelous cracking possibilities. http://fravia.org/crack_C1.htm From: Dmitry Goldgaber dgoldgaber(a)mail.psychiatry.sunysb.edu To: cypherpunks(a)toad.com cypherpunks(a)toad.com Subject: Cryptography and DNA "Chaffing and winnowing in molecular biology" Ronald L. Rivest's method for hiding information by breaking it in to packets mixed with other meaningless packets is similar to an approach which is used in organic systems, at the DNA level.

Dmitry Goldgaber dgoldgaber(a)mail.psychiatry.sunysb.edu ...only one remark, may be: the DOS/UNIX world seems very neglected in the essays... everybody is cracking exclusively the newest applications for windoze, and that could be a mistake: I said that we must crack windoze in order to throw our seeds with the wind, true, but let's not forget that, as you know very well, a good knowledge of the past is the only tool you can relay on in order to foresee the future... ...You see fravia+, for the first time in the history of humanity knowledge can be spread for free and reach anybody who cares :=) I don't know if this contingency will last, coz many powerful forces are struggling against this. Should knowledge, their efforts notwithstanding, continue to flow in this way, it will change the face of the world as we know it. http://fravia.org/academy.htm Now, Bubba explained, the Evil Forces were regrouping to once again take control of the world, and they had been working through our new, hi-tech gods, the Gods of Communication--television and computers. "There were those who tried to warn us," he said. "Marshal McLuhan was our hi-tech 'John the Baptist,' "The Medium Is The Message" became our new Bible, but he, too, was just a "voice crying in the wilderness." "Others, like the "Android Sisters," we relegated to the status of clowns and entertainers as the 'Media' lulled us to sleep and became our 'Waking Dream,' our new reality." "Where once we sacrificed sheep, offering up the blood of the innocent to appease our gods," Bubba railed, with ever mounting conviction, "now we have become the sheep to be led to the slaughter by our 'Gods of Communication.' "And the shadow of Gomez falls ever more frequently across our door, like a pestilence upon the land and its people." Bubba Rom Dos, derelict and philosopher, surveyed the crowd, which had now gone totally silent, and proceeded to explain some of the things he claimed to have learned in the Far East from a group which was, according to him, actively working to counter the new 'Angels of Darkness' which had already begun launching their assault upon mankind, using our own new hi-tech environment. "Demons," he explained, "have always worked their will through our own physical reality in order to accomplish their ends. Television has lulled our minds into a deep slumber, and now they are free to attack through the mechanisms of the physical instrument which is becoming a part of, and controlling force over, the whole of our lives---the computer." "Our lives are tracked and controlled by numbers---our address, our phone number, our social security number, our driver's license and passport numbers. And now all these numbers are being controlled by computers---computers that can communicate all around the world, at the touch of a button. Computers that can, in an instant, separate us into categories according to our names, our race, our political beliefs, or by the names of our children. Computers that know all, and see all." Bubba explained how the Evil One is making his bid, once again, to write his own happy ending in the Final Chapter of the war between the 'forces of good and evil.' He told of how Gomez and the Dark Allies (Daemons, Zombies, and Orphan Zombies) have been unleashed to wreak their havoc in the Final Battle, with the Hounds of Hell nipping at our heels and the dreaded Cron orchestrating this whole savage 'Dance of Armageddon.' By now the crowd had grown deathly silent and Bubba, sensing that they were, individually and collectively, on the edge of despair, began talking about what could be done to alleviate, and perhaps even remedy, the present desperate situation. He explained that the reason that many of the best computer hackers around were teenagers was that they are in the hot, throbbing throes of puberty, and were thus very conscious of the yin-yang aspects of computers, which basically consist of just hardware and software. The hardware, he said, is the yang, or male aspect, of computers, while the software is the yin, or female, component. "Hardware is very ego-centered, it wants everything it's own way. In order to operate correctly, it wants everything to be very structured, in the place it wants it to be in, and meeting its own narrow criterion. When you turn the hardware on it gives itself a little diagnostic 'hitch in the crotch' to check its equipment, and says, 'let's get at it'---it's ready for some action." "Software is more flexible and malleable. It is more willing to go with the flow and change to meet the requirements for the job at hand, rather than forcing things to be done in a certain way. Good software will do anything you want it to do---it just wants to be coaxed with the right words and syntax, so that you don't think of it as being too 'easy.' Bubba explained that programmers are what Gurdjieff referred to as the 'third,' or 'unifying,' force in the universe, capable of bringing the yin and yang aspects of the cosmos into union with one another to produce a third, unique force. "Programmers are the unifying force that supply the energy enabling two separate and unique components, hardware and software, to have a relationship that is capable of productivity and growth. A marriage of matter that could spawn and produce a multitude of children to go forth and do many new things in the world, for better or worse, for good or for evil." "You are society's last hope for thwarting the Forces of Evil gearing up for the final battle, readying themselves to wreak grievous havoc upon the world, such that it has never known. It is up to you to 'raise the torch,' and let the 'light of knowledge' spread throughout the civilized world, in the thread of 'clues' scattered throughout the UNIX operating system, and throughout your programming and your instructions." "You must band together, man and woman, young and old, into a 'Magic Circle' for your own protection from the Forces of Darkness! You must develop your own secret codes and rituals to deal with the Evil Forces which will beset you daily once you set foot on the Path of Righteousness." At this point Bubba, who had been sucking rather liberally on a bottle of Wild Turkey during this rousing and inspiring 'spiritual soliloquy,' started to lose his train of thought and began to babble randomly about young boys' hardware and young girls' software, making statements that downright smacked of pedophilia, and it turned into quite a nasty scene before the students finally threw him out of the meeting. But a spark had been ignited before the old geezer finally lost control of his mind, as well as some of his bodily functions, and the evening marked the initial development of the 'Post-Ancient Rites' of the Computer Age---and the beginning of an underground Secret Society later to become known by those within the 'Magic Circle' as the "Circle of Eunuchs." http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/xenix We are already now thoroughly involved in this, and your "students' essays" page is a very good example of a potential new dawn. We will see in due time... let us sip our cocktails and wait... as I told you, the repercussions, on the web never immediate, yet the inertial effects of our work can be huge. Thank to your (and other) sites, those who want to learn will now be able to begin learning (and teaching, which is the other side of the same extraordinary mirror) within very powerful frames. It was about time: maiora premunt! The world of the near future will be a "world of software", an half-virtual world, where code will assume today unbelievable massive proportions, where" reality" will not count much for the pavlovian gullible beings that will forget their miserable slave conditions deafened by the concerted (and concocted) "virtuality" that they will Oh so much love. A world of software, a world of code, and therefore, as usual, a world of hidden codes and hidden meanings (as if the world we live in now did not have already enough of them :=( I just hope that many of our "students" will soon tackle the more complex and even less rewarding task of cracking the reality they live in... hoc opus, hic labor: software protections are only a tiny part of the "unknown" world around us, albeit a very useful playground to flex your "reversing muscles". Our students and friends will have the difficult (and seldom rewarding) task of finding the keys of its concealed doors, in order to donate them to all those who care, to all those that our enemies are determined to leave outside. In fact they "must" remain out in order to allow fat profits for a minority. This future codeworld will be a scary world indeed if we don't modify (or destroy) the rails our societies are now running on: I advice you to fasten your seat belt and to seat next to an emergency exit. Like cracking. Work well, +ORC http://fravia.org/academy.htm Shackling the state * by Nuri Albala If signed, the current MAI proposals would form a benchmark for the global investment economy, taking precedence over most existing national obligations and agreements. The multinational corporations would be given powerful ammunition against sovereign states and the legal means to enforce their new "rights". It is a dynamic agreement which would ultimately "rollback" all national laws which did not conform. Translated by Julie Stoker http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/md/en/ The infamous "privatization" and "rationalization" trend of the last decades, basically aimed to degrade the quality of life in the whole world in order to allow more profits for the few that had the economic power, among many other damages, wiped away the "conductors" all over the world. A society where the cloak of rationalization is used only to blind people, tricking them into losing life quality and into political immobility through a well orchestrated propaganda machine in order, as always, to allow very few to make a lot of profit... Yes, as I have repeatedly told you: quality of life has been continuously and purposely lowered, in order to allow bigger profits for the few that control this awful society of stupid slaves: planes land noisy at night, whole suburbs abandoned to the savages, you have to carry heavy water home and your pensions (should you have the right to a pension) will be cut (or completely eliminated) in the near future in name of the "rationalization". In the mean time all social cushions are being stripped off one by one, in name of the "globalization" and of the "free play" of the market forces, which are nothing else than the uncontrollable throbbing for profits of the few that control these markets. Don't be deceived if there is nothing about cracking code above... decoding life is much more important than decoding code, and you wont be able to feel the code if you don't learn first to decode the world around you. A devastated, scorched society, that's where we live in, a desert of intelligence where only some faint lights glow. Make so that your brain will help others to find the way to understand the world around them with unsullied eyes, that's the real task of a cracker. Moreover inside each country (rich and poor alike) takes place an analogous "development" in favor of the richest part of the population... that's the current "progress of humanity" stand behind all bla-bla-bla: rich get richer, poor get poorer... a nice society indeed, headed at full speed against a brick wall. Because we are more than code crackers: we are reality crackers, my kids. +ORC, the old red cracker, August 1997 http://fravia.org/modernze.htm Requiem for a Fallen Comrade: One of the original members of the Circle of Eunuchs recently began analyzing information gleaned from an AI Model designed to enable herself and others to calculate the variation between the economic gains provided by the evolution of technology and the reflection of these gains in the economic evolution of society, as a whole. The AI Model was designed and generated using techniques and methodologies which have already proved to provide exemplary results in regard to reflecting real-world results, as reflected by analysis and direct observation. Her preliminary report, based on what she considered to be a solid--though incomplete--foundation, was that there appeared to be an astounding amount of wealth generated by evolving applied technology which was disappearing down a "Black Hole." Shortly after providing her preliminary report, she, also, "disappeared down a Black hole," as did her equipment and all record of her work on the project, code-named Robyn Steele. Permanent residents of TVWorld are unlikely to notice her absence, but those who strive to live their life in a waking state are well aware that there is a star missing in the sky over Lost Alamo that brought much sparkle and joy to those who dare to venture out into the darkness to help others find their way to the light. http://dev.null/Alexis.htm The Revolution is NOW! http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/infowar3 People do not want to learn to be free, and to free them we have sadly to "circumvent" them with more or less the same techniques that our enemies use to enslave them :=) Let's crack the very temples of the enemies of the humanity and poetry, the prisons where we are forced to buy and consume... let's show all idiots the WHIPS that are used to enslave them... as always light comes through knowledge. Remember that NOTHING is casual in this awful society where people are CULTIVATED to consume and nothing else than that. Around you almost everything has a "secret" meaning, that you are not supposed to see, understand or crack So let's battle against them! Codebar! Understand! Explain others! Free the stupid slaves... watch the world around you free from petty convention and understand in what for an awful mess you are condemned to live! http://fravia.org/slaves.htm Prologue to 'WebWorld & The Mythical Circle of Eunuchs' The great tragedy of it, is that it didn't have to happen. Not at all...we were warned. And yet, still, it has come to this. I don't know why I feel this overwhelming compulsion to go on and on about it. I could have done something. We all could have done something. Perhaps the final epitaph on the gravestone of Freedom will be, "Why didn't somebody do something?" That seems to be the common battle-cry of the legions of humanity that have been sucked into the vortex of the New World Order. None of the imprisoned seem to know that the very phrase itself is reflective of the source of their imprisonment...that this desperate cry of anguish is in no way an antidote for the terrible disease that has afflicted 'Liberty and Justice', and that it is, rather, merely the final symptom of the cursed blight itself. I can hear the rumbling of the trucks as they come up the street, and soon I will be hearing the thumping of the jackboots storming up the staircase, as I have heard them so many times before. But I suspect that this time, the sound will be different, that it will have an ethereal quality about it, one which conveys greater personal meaning than it did when I heard it on previous occasions. This time, they are coming for me. My only hope is that I can find the strength of character somewhere inside myself to ask the question which lies at the heart of why there is a 'they' to come for me at all...why, in the end, it has finally come to this for me, as for countless others. The question is, in retrospect, as simple and basic as it is essential for any who still espouse the concepts of freedom and liberty to ask themselves upon finding themselves marveling at the outrageousness being perpetrated upon their neighbors by 'them'...by 'others'...by 'Friends of the Destroyer.' The question is: "Why didn't I do something?" http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/webworld

Crytozilla operational 15 h after Netscape releases Mozilla source
by Lucky Green 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In yet another painful blow against US export regulations, the international Mozilla Crypto Group replaced the crypto code that US regulations forced Netscape to remove before publication of the Mozilla source. It took the group all of 15 hours to do so. This should make for a nice tidbit to be used in future depositions or testimony. http://mozilla-crypto.ssleay.org/press/19980401-02/index.html -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred

To clarify: I'm serious about this question, if for no other reason than I am editing a paper that basically claims it is impossible to regulate the internet. I wish that were true, but I'm not sure I buy it. Any input is most appreciated.

Your question is too vague to get any kind of simple answer. Regulate *what* exactly? Protocol standards? Pricing? Volume of traffic? Traffic content? Internationally or domestically? If domestic, which countries? Use of encryption? Anonymity? Digital signatures? Taxation? Email content? Spam? Porn? Usenet? Web sites? IRC? DNS naming services? Digital telephony? Packets currently fly around the world as free as migratory birds, and as hampered by borders.

The modem tax never left...
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> >To: politech(a)vorlon.mit.edu >Subject: http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1869,00.html The NotReally News ReportWhore informs us: > * * * > Is the "modem tax" back? FCC Commissioner Susan Ness said on > Monday that ISPs might have to pay so-called universal service charges > that help subsidize cheap rural phone service and school and library > Internet connections. Declan, Something that Republican children of the post-JFK generation all remember is where they were when George Bush said, "Read my (moving) lips...No New Taxes!" The great tragedy of their times, though they still fail to recognize it even today, is that the citizens present at that occassion did not rush the stage and drag him to the nearest tree with a limb strong enough to hold his weight when a rope was thrown over it and attached to his neck. The sticky PrePubescizens of the WebGeneration will someday regret that their parents stood by and didn't even bother watching as the Analogue Lies of the Controllers were transformed into Digital Lies suitable for implant into the brains of the Robotizens, via the infrared wave emission capabilities of TeleTunnelVision and JavasCrapGraphics. I know that you make your living in the Belly of the DCBeast, so you don't want to slay the Monster Who Lays The Golden Eggs, but couldn't you at least try to make sure that the Monster gets a little of the Bad Eggs it is hurling at the Flockizens on its own face? How about some headlines such as: "Lying Piece of DC Shit Claims Hands-Off Internet Policy" "Arrogant Thieves Expect Victims To Believe They Won't Shake Down NetUsers." "Armed Terrorists Fake Retreat To Draw Victims Into Ambush." > * * * >Some excerpts from Commissioner Ness' remarks: > > "Local telcos complain that data calls typically last much > longer than voice calls, tying up switches and requiring > the addition of more capacity in the loop and the central > office. And this is True (TM)? Are there any real reporters left in the media who are capable of analyzing the Claims (TM) being made by those promoting Facts (TM) meant to serve their own-self interests? (Not a 'crime', but neither should it be a 'gimme.') Is their anyone in the techno-reporting industry who is capable of including an analysis of the claims of various players in the game of Buy The Pot? Are any of those reporting on the Telecos' claims capable of informing those with a limited knowledge of the technology involved if the analog and digital signals being discussed are comparable in terms of the 'burden' that they place on the Telecos, or if InterNet service would be more efficient or competitive if put into the hands of other communications infrastructures? If the local Telecos are finding themselves 'burdened' by InterNet traffic, then perhaps they should share that terrible burden with Cable Companies, and other entities who would like a chance to compete for the InterNet business which is currently in the dictatorial grip of the Regulators Who Feed At The Teleco Trough. I expect that I can find the answers to the questions I have about these matters by reading a mountain of information from various sources, and then distilling it down to manageable proportions suitable for analysis. It seems to me that if the media is not providing that type of service to me, then I might save myself time by accessing the original 'press releases' by various government and corporate entities, and not have to wade through mountains of media 'news' which adds little to what was handed to them on a silver platter for advertising/disinformation/promotion purposes. ~ ~ Toto ~ ~ "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/xenix "WebWorld & the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs" http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/webworld "InfoWar -- The Digital Revolution" http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/infowar3 "Space Aliens Hide My Drugs" http://www.clas.net/~dave/public/sahmd

V-Chip Reruns...
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A member of Peacefire (http://www.peacefire.org/join/) who has volunteered to pull the Fire Alarm at a White House To Be Named Later, on April 19th, at 9:02 a.m., forwarded: ******************************************************* [In honor of April Fool's Day, the following message about a "V-Chip for books" was first posted on the Internet two years ago on April 1, 1996. During that time, Internet censorship was a national concern after the passing of the Communications Decency Act, and censorship systems for the Internet, like the V-Chip for television, were just starting to gain public attention. The news of a "V-Chip for books" was met with an outpouring of support from some parents who apparently didn't recognize it as a joke.] [Forwarder's Note: There was also a great outpouring of support for the gentleman who began the non-profit society promoting the clothing of animals, to cover their 'private parts.' While fools like yourself 'work for a living,' eh?] News Release -- April 1st, 1996 V-chip rating system extended to books CLA endorses 'V-barcode' plan The Canadian Library Association today announced its intention to comply with the wishes of millions of Canadians who had signed a petition decrying the increasing presence of "vivid imagery of sex and violence" in books targetted at children. "Once my daughter started reading books in the 'Goose Bumps' series", says one concerned parent, "reading became like an addiction to her." Even though the books were so violent and scary the girl had nightmares. "Soon she started reading beyond her grade level and was getting into books with 'adult themes'." The problem, say most busy parents, is that kids can visit the local library and borrow anything they choose, regardless of their family's values. The new book rating system, modelled after television's highly successful V-chip, has been dubbed the V-barcode, because each book will have a machine-readable "barcode" on the spine that encodes a rating of the book's contents on several scales: sex, violence, coarse language, drug use, religion, and 'alternative lifestyles'. "This isn't about censorship", says Keith Spicer, who recently joined the CLA as policy director after leaving the CRTC, "this is about choice, ... about empowering parents to make choices." Under the new system, parents will select their family's "tolerance levels" on each scale. These are encoded as a barcode on their child's library card. When a child wants to borrow a book, the librarian simply passes the library card and book over a scanner (just like the ones used in the supermarket) and a screen instantly displays whether authorization should be granted. "It's a marvel of technology", bubbles Spicer, "it's just like the child's parent is there, saying to the child -- 'No, we don't borrow that kind of book in this family.'". The CLA dismisses complaints the system will be burdensome. "We already have barcodes on most books, so the cost of the new system will be incidental", said a CLA spokesperson. Library patrons can expect to pay an additional $5 per year over their normal borrowing fees. "The V-barcode is just a small part of the overall solution for dealing with violence in books," says Spicer. "The best way of dealing with bad books is to have more good books, and we hope that once children stop borrowing the bad books publishers will start printing books of better quality." There are still a few wrinkles to be worked out, however. Some skeptical parents think children might start hanging out in libraries -- where they can still read books they aren't allowed to borrow. Still, to many parents, the new system gives a parent more control over what their child reads than is the case without this technology. "It's a social experiment worth trying", says one parent, "It will be interesting to see what guidelines will be drawn up and who will be doing the drawing. It will force people to reflect on ethics and reading, which is something we could afford to be more reflective about." Enthusiasts of the V-barcode would like to see its use expanded. "We'd like to see the V-barcode system adopted in bookstores", says Keith Spicer, "We've already got a pilot project going with the Cole's Bookstore chain and the Bank of Montreal where the parental tolerance levels are encoded into the mag-stripe on the child's bank card." A book purchase can be declined at the checkout if it exceeds the family's tolerance levels. "Cash purchases," says Spicer, "are still a problem."

instructs for using PGP 5 freeware with Eudora and 2.6.2 keys
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Since I grew impatient navigating geocities' UI, I am sending this in the hope that it will be useful. Propogate at will. Using Eudora+PGP 5 with 2.6.2-Compatible RSA Keys for Win95 for Dummies 4/3/98 honig(a)alum.mit.edu Intro I explain how to install and use the slick Eudora and PGP 5 freeware on Windows95 while maintaining full back-compatability with PGP v. 2.6.2 users. The installation path for compatability with 262 is not the obvious one a new user would take. Thus this document. The install takes about 10 minutes and the software is free. The strength of your key is the same. What is Eudora? PGP? Eudora is a popular, powerful, easy to use GUI POP3 email client. Free versions are available. PGP is a public-key encryption package. PGP 5 freeware includes a plug-in for Eudora, making secure email not only possible, but nearly transparent. That is key to widespread use which is key to the success of any protocol. But some people use only PGP 2.6.2, or 262 it is built into their MacOS. The problem is that 262 uses "RSA" keys only, but PGP 5 can also use "Diffie-Hellman" keys. In fact, the freeware version of PGP 5 does not allow the creation of RSA keys. These instructions tell you how to set up Eudora + PGP so you can painlessly use these tools with all popular PGP versions. The newer PGP does not generate keys that the earlier PGP can use; but the newer version imports them. So if we take the trouble to use the older version of PGP to make our key, we can use our slick GUI email tools with everyone, even the 2.6.2 throwbacks who probably use rotary phones, carburators, etc. I use "PGP 2.6.2 key" to mean the RSA key version supported by PGP 2.6.2, and "PGP 5 key" to mean the Diffie-Hellman key supported by the freeware version. Both variants are based on the ease of multiplying two numbers and difficulty of factoring the product of large indivisible ("prime") numbers. Installation Instructions You will use defaults everywhere. 1. Download and install Eudora lite 3.05 (eul305.exe) from http://eudora.qualcomm.com/eudoralight/ This creates c:\Eudora by default. Use Tools | Options | Getting Started and Hosts to specify your POP email account (e.g., joe(a)xyz.com) and your SMTP (outgoing) host (e.g., mail.isp.com) TEST: Run Eudora, send yourself email, wait a minute, retrieve it, exit. 2. Download and install PGP 5 freeware (pgpinstall.exe) Do NOT create a key if asked to do so. PGP 5 makes keys incompatible with PGP 2.6.2. You will use a 2.6.2-compatible key you make later on. This creates c:\Program Files\PGP\PGP5.0 and installs a plug-in to Eudora. TEST: Start Eudora, look for PGP tools in toolbar. Easier Setup If You Can: 1 & 2. Download Eudora + PGP together from http://eudora.qualcomm.com/eudoralight/ and install. (I can't access this so I don't know about installing it.) TEST: send yourself email as above. Check for PGP tools as above. HERE'S THE RETRO-COMPATABILITY PART 3. Download pgp262.zip. Create new directory c:\pgp262. Go there. Unzip the file there. Read the instructions, you may have to set some variables before using PGP262 SET PGPPATH=C:\PGP262 SET PATH=C:\PGP262;%PATH% SET TZ=PST8PDT While in that directory: 4. Create a 2.6.2 key with PGP 2.6.2: Run "pgp -kg" and do what it says. You will provide a username. Use your email address. You will also provide a passphrase to hide your private key. Pick a phrase you can remember, that others can't guess. You'll have to type your passphrase to prove who you are (when you use your private key). 5. Export your 2.6.2 key to a file: Run "pgp -kxa yourname mykey" where "yourname" is the username you used above. This creates a file mykey.asc which is your public key suitable for emailing. 6. Import your key into PGP 5: Double click on the file "mykey.asc" that you just created. 7. Make sure your PGP262 key is your Default (e.g., if you made a PGP 5 key): Run PGPKeys, e.g., from Eudora. Select your key with the blue icon. Right-click to see its properties. Its key type should be "RSA". Right-click and select Set As Default. TO TEST PGP Send yourself a regular email addressed to the username you used above, which should be your email address, to verify that functionality didn't break. Then send a second letter, this time, select Eudora's PGP MIME button AND the PGP Encrypt button. Then send your letters. Wait a bit, and retrieve your mail as you did before. To read the encrypted version run the Plug-in. You will be prompted for your passphrase. If one of your dinosaur 2.6.2 associates sends you a block of text, use the PGP Decrypt button. You will be prompted for your passphrase. To send email to other people, you will have to import their public keys. Security Note Your private key is hidden in the \Program Files\PGP\PGP50\SECRING.SCR file. Its also in the c:\pgp262\SECRING.PGP file. If threse files are copied by opponents, only your passphrase stands between them and your secret key. Your mykey.asc file is the opposite: it should be published so people can send messages to you (and verify that you signed and sent what was received by them, etc.) PGPKeys lets you export your key to a well-known server which functions like a phone directory. honig(a)alum.mit.edu ------------------ "Are we going after their tax returns?

All it is is an agreement between people who run computers to send and receive messages, and pass them on to other computers, according to certain rules. It is like the treaties between supposedly sovereign nation states - you play by the rules if you want people to talk to you. The Internet is the best living example that you don't need governments to have regulation (although the US government certainly helped a lot. Maybe the Net or the Moon landings will go down in history as your pyramids or Stonehenge, the one thing your civilisation will be remembered for). The regulations will be made and broken and kept and changed by the people who use the Net and no-one will ever know what they all are at any one time but a lot of us will have a good idea of most of them, most of the time. The Internet doesn't depend on telephone companies or governments or undersea cables or satellites or university computing departments or cable TV or copper wires or carrier pigeons (that reminds me - time for my annual check up on the new RFCs :-) or fibre optics or anything else, although it uses all those things. It is software, not hardware, it is a set of rules, treaties, agreements, protocols, words, comments, jargon, ideas, thoughts. The Internet is like money, or marriage, or table manners - while people act as if they believe in it, then it will continue to exist. Of course if what the question was really about the feasibility of regulating what people use the Internet *for* - well, that's a different question...

Ex-spook tells 2 other countries their codes are toast
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://www.newsday.com/ap/rnmpwh0j.htm Ex-CIA Worker Charged in Spy Case By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- A fired CIA covert operative was charged today with tipping off two foreign governments that the United States had broken their code systems. He was held without bond. Douglas Fred Groat also was charged with trying to extort $500,000 from the CIA in return for not disclosing its secrets. Groat, a 50-year-old bearded and burly man, worked for the CIA from May 1980 through October 1996 but spent the last three of those years on administrative leave. The grand jury charged that he gave secrets about U.S. code-breaking to two foreign governments, which were not named, in March and April of 1997. The grand jury said that Groat attempted to extort money from the CIA began before his alleged turncoat activities and continued after them. The grand jury said the attempted extortion lasted from May 1996 until February 1998. All four espionage counts allege that the spying took place between March 24, 1997 and some time in April 1997. A federal grand jury said in its indictment that Groat gave both foreign countries classified information concerning ``the targeting and compromise of the cryptographic systems of ... (the foreign country) by the United States with intent and reason to believe that said information would be used to the injury of the United States.'' Groat, who was arrested Wednesday night without incident by the FBI, entered a not guilty plea through his attorney, at federal courthouse here, to all five counts against him. Two of the counts carry a maximum penalty of death. Prosecutor Eric Dubelier persuaded U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson to continue holding the burly and bearded Groat without bail by calling him ``a risk of flight and a danger to the community.'' ``Based on his former employment with the CIA, he is trained in travel and false identity and deception,'' Dubelier said. ``He has no ties to the community and he possesses sensitive classified information'' that could be communicated to foreign nations if he were allowed to go free. Johnson said that a federal grand jury had returned a sealed indictment March 27 which included four counts of communicating secret defense information to a foreign government and one count of interference with commerce. Two of the counts of conveying secrets carry the death penalty. It was not immediately known which countries were involved. Federal officials requesting anonymity said there was more than one. Groat himself did not speak during the 10-minute initial appearance. Muscular and heavy-set with black hair and a mustache, he appeared in court wearing dark blue jail trousers and shirt. He held his hands clasped in front of him as he stood beside his attorney, public defender A.J. Kramer. The judge set a detention hearing for next Thursday. And Dubelier said the government would use the Classified Information Procedures Act to prevent secrets from being disclosed at trial. Groat was the third current or former CIA employee to be arrested for espionage in the last four years. He was fired from the CIA under circumstances that officials would not immediately disclose. They said he held a lower rank than two of the biggest spies ever caught inside the CIA -- Aldrich Ames, who headed counterintelligence against Moscow while secretly working for the Russians, and Harold Nicholson, who was a CIA station chief abroad while selling secrets to Moscow. Ames and Nicholson pleaded guilty in plea bargains with the government. An official familiar with the investigation said the probe into this former CIA employee ``does not rise to the level of the Aldrich Ames case'' in terms of the suspected damage to U.S. security. Ames was arrested in 1994 and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance for parole. Ames gave the Soviets the names of at least a dozen high-level moles inside the Soviet government who were providing information to the CIA. Many of them were arrested and executed based on Ames' information. Nicholson gave the Russians the names of new CIA recruits whom he helped train. Officials said that limited where they could serve later in their careers. The CIA employee in this case worked at the ageny's headquarters in Northern Virginia and it was not clear if he had ever served overseas. The FBI was not seeking any accomplices in the case, but officials would not say whether any foreign diplomats were being expelled from this country. The names of the countries involved with the CIA employee could not immediately be learned. The House and Senate intelligence committees were kept informed of the investigation into the spying charges as it proceeded, congressional officials said today, speaking on condition of anonymity. An official said Senators have been actively involved in following the investigation since its inception.''

Do any of you cocksuckers know where the following comes from? URL? A shit-eating grin spread across Dr. Vulis' face as he realized that, this time, he had been caught for doing something he wouldn't be punished for. Rewarded, perhaps? Cautiously, Dr. Vulis asked Igor, "So can I have more medication? All of the others in treatment here are getting better drugs than me, because they are patients being treated by doctors. Why am I the only doctor being treated by a patient?" "Now Dimitri," Igor shook his head, negatively, "you are exaggerating again. You know that John Young and Robert Hettinga are the only two here who are getting better drugs than you, and it is only occasionally, when they share a room, and then only in order to increase their pleasure when they engage inuuhhhCypherPunk activities." Dimitri got angry, as Igor knew would result from feeding his fantasies, "I know what you're talking about!" Dimitri always gotuuhhh'excited', when this subject came up. "They're sucking each other's cocks! This place is full of cocksuckers, and the biggest one of all is cocksucker John <spit> Gilmore <fart>!"

The implication is that she is young enough for them to be concerned about her impressionability. If she is that young, isn't that simply good parenting?
