----- Forwarded message from Bob Margolis <rttyman(a)wwa.com> ----- Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 12:54:47 -0500 From: Bob Margolis <rttyman(a)wwa.com> To: spooks(a)qth.net Subject: [Spooks] Digital Steganography Secret Messages: Army Researchers Discover Advance Technique To Relay Information Army researchers bring new meaning to the phrase, 'a picture's worth a thousand words.' An advanced technique for hiding secret messages inside of images is a new discovery made recently by U.S.Army Research Laboratory (ARL) researchers and a Federated Laboratory partner from the University of Delaware. "As a method to provide secure communications on the battlefield, we are pursuing research in the area of digital steganography," says Lisa Marvel, an electronics engineer at ARL's Information Science & Technology Directorate. The Greek word, steganography, means covered writing. "Our initial system involves embedding hidden messages within images. Images that are typically transmitted over the battlefield, such as weather or terrain maps," she says. The hidden message, be it an authentication mark, time stamp or new orders to a commander, is completely undetectable and resistant to removal and arbitrary decoding. Only the intended recipient holding the 'key' can decode the hidden message. Consider for a moment the impact of this new capability. U.S. Forces are pent behind enemy lines and out numbered three to one. The commander is not able to communicate their situation to base, because an enemy listener is detected on the communication network. The commander orders a message be sent through the Stego Communication System. In less than 45 seconds a soldier types the message on a laptop computer, hides the message in a map and sends it to base undetected. U.S. troops are deployed with enemy forces unaware of the impending ambush. U.S. soldiers are recovered with no casualties. Steganography is part of ARL's defensive information warfare efforts under the Federated Laboratory Program. The research began in February 1997 and is projected to continue over the next two years. "The result of this basic research can be packaged as software that can run on any laptop, anywhere. The main focus for the next two years is to increase the amount of undetectable information that we are able to hide in an image and develop techniques that make messages even more resilient to any kind of corruption," Marvel says. Typically, basic research is projected for use five years out. But, Marvel says this particular work is implementable in a shorter timeframe. She predicts that when the research is completed in two years it will just be a matter of software rewrite and packaging, which will take about 6 months before it can actually become a true product. Marvel credits the collaborative work, commissioned by the Federated Laboratory, for the successful progress of the project. Marvel developed the initial test system, guided by Dr. Charles Boncelet, Professor of electrical engineering at the University of Delaware. "Dr. Boncelet brought in some specific insights and his expertise in random signals and noise truly contributed to the success of the work," Marvel says. Dr. Charles Retter another ARL engineer provided his expertise in low rate error correcting codes, "which is key to how we are able to extract the message from the image without having the original image," she adds. Digital steganography is a new topic of research that incorporates ideas from communications, cryptography, information theory, and signal processing. So far, very little information exists in the formal literature on this topic, unlike digital watermarking which is currently a very active area of research. Although similar, steganography differs from watermarking in several aspects. For example, digital watermarking is used to embed a visible or invisible signature into a medium in order to indicate ownership, such as the station insignia seen in the bottom corner of a television screen during programming. Steganography, on the other hand, is used to encode a hidden message typically much larger than a signature, Marvel explains. In preparing to file for a patent, the ARL researchers are conducting the required background research on the prior art. "We found that a few basic techniques used over the years work pretty well, but are not nearly as sophisticated or complete. It appears that our technique is unique," Marvel concludes. --- Submissions spooks(a)qth.net ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Dave Emery N1PRE, die(a)die.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass.

A Lottery You can Control The stakes In!
by Tony Grendair 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

A Lottery You Control the Odds IN? Read the first few lines and see if you aren't at least intrigued. Are you SURE you won't miss out? OK. So this is another MLM, BUT, this is the best one I've ever seen. Firstly, the cost to me for starting in on this program = $20 US plus postage. That's it. Second, you actually get something for your money. Something truly useful. The package you receive contains detailed reports of (1) How to start a small business, something very popular in today's economy (2) How to find Gov't auctions. You'ld be surprised how many there are (3) Home based business and (4) How to start an Answering service. Each of the reports is very inciteful and will get you at least wondering what it would be like to control your own destiny. PLUS, this program gives you the chance to raise the start up capital, or just make a bunch of money. This is a lottery you control the stakes at. With a little effort you can easily turn 20 dollars into much more. Think just 10 people over the entire Internet need to take a chance like I did. I only need a response of about .05%, that's .005 out of a hundred I reach with this program. This is my first time ever doing this and I can't see one reason it won't work and I'm a business student at one of the best schools in the country. Hey I might not need a summer job. Wouldn't that be sweet? Throw your hand in and with a little work this could be the greatest thing that ever happened. Remember, people get rich with these programs, that's why there out there, there is no reason it can't be you. Maybe nothing in this life is free but this may be as close as there is. Please accept my apology if this was sent to you in error! ******************************************************************* You are about to possibly make $50,000--in less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN! ******************************************************************** Dear Friend, If you are looking to make some real money, and you don't want to spend much money to do it then this is for you. This business will only cost you $20 to get into, and that's not much when you consider some of the other offers that you will receive. ********************************************************************* Testimonial: I am an Executive Director of a YMCA and would never do anything that I thought would be wrong. So please take a look at the business program that we are offering you. I think this is one of the safest investments that you can make, and the rewards are outstanding $$$$. It requires very little effort on your part, and no hard selling. Now that's what I've been looking for! Many people have paid off debts, bought houses, taken vacations, etc. with the money they have made through this business, and believe me that it does not take long before the money starts to come in. Within 5 to 7 days of sending your advertisement out via bulk e-mail you will start receiving orders for the reports. You will have $5 bills overflowing your mailbox or PO Box. Many people have to pick their mail up at the window because all of the mail will not fit into the box! Excited yet? I was very skeptical too when I first received an advertisement about this great business opportunity, and passed on it many times--just deleting them when I received the offers. Thank goodness someone sent me another chance. The money has been rolling in now for about 9 weeks. I have paid the money that I owed to state income tax, and paid off two other credit cards. I know that in another 30 to 40 days I will be debt free, and how many people can say that now days? We are only giving you the opportunity to help yourself to this outstanding money making opportunity. The rest is up to you, but think about this. I have only spent about $100--$20 to order the reports and $80 to send bulk emails, and I am almost debt free now. Within another 3 to 4 weeks I will be there--debt free, and I never thought that would happen. There is no other opportunity that costs so little to get in, and to make such large sums of money. I urge you to act now. I promise you will be very satisfied with the results. Butch Christy ****************************************** Please, if you have any questions about this program feel free to email me with your questions. I will be glad to help you to financial freedom. The following is the program and how it works, and please when you decide to act upon this great opportunity, follow all directions exactly. Making changes in the program in any way will result in lost income for you and others. Thanks for taking the time to look at this program, and best wishes.

It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave the house, except to get the mail and go to the bank! This truly is that lucky break you've been waiting for! Simply follow the easy instructions in this letter, and your financial dreams will come true! When followed correctly, this electronic, multi-level marketing program works. Thousands of people have used this program to: -Raise capital to start their own business -Pay off debts -Buy homes, cars, etc., -Even retire! This is your chance, so don't pass it up! ____________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY ELECTRONIC MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING PROGRAM ____________________________________________________________ Basically, this is what we do: We send thousands of people a product for $5.00 that costs next to nothing to produce and e-mail. As with all multi-level businesses, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the U.S. allows you to recruit new multi-level business online (via your computer). The products in this program are a series of four business and financial reports costing $5.00 each. Each order you receive via "snail mail" will include: *$5.00 cash *The name and number of the report they are ordering *The e-mail address where you will e-mail them the report they ordered. To fill each order, you simply e-mail the product to the buyer. The $5.00 is yours! This is the EASIEST electronic multi-level marketing business anywhere! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER AND BE PREPARED TO REAP THE STAGGERING BENEFITS!!!! ********INSTRUCTIONS********** This is what you MUST do: 1. Order all 4 reports shown on the list below (you can't sell them if you don't order them). *For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, AND YOUR RETURN POSTAL ADDRESS (in case of a problem) to the person whose name appears on the list next to the report. * When you place your order, make sure you order each of the four reports. You will need all four reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. * Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the four reports. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. 2. IMPORTANT--DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than is instructed below in steps "a" through "d" or you will lose out on the majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you'll also see how it doesn't work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will not work. This is just the nature of the program. In order to achieve the multiplying phenomenon you must follow the steps. a. Look below for the listing of available reports. b. After you've ordered the four reports, replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with your name and address, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. c. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #2 down to REPORT#3. d. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #3 down to REPORT #4. e. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is removed from the list and has NO DOUBT collected their 50 grand. Please make sure you copy everyone's name and address ACCURATELY!!! 3. Take this entire letter, including the modified list of names, and save it to your computer. Make NO changes to the instruction portion of this letter. 4. Now you're ready to start an advertising campaign on the WORLDWIDE WEB! Advertising on the WEB is very, very inexpensive, and there are HUNDREDS of FREE places to advertise. Another avenue which you could use for advertising is e-mail lists. You can buy these lists for under $20/2,000 addresses or you can pay someone a minimal charge to take care of it for you. BE SURE TO START YOUR AD CAMPAIGN IMMEDIATELY! 5. For every $5.00 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the report they ordered. THAT'S IT! ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS! This guarantees the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR name and address on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! ___________________________ AVAILABLE REPORTS ___________________________ ***Order Each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** Notes: - ALWAYS SEND $5 CASH FOR EACH REPORT - ALWAYS SEND YOUR ORDER VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL - Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least two sheets of paper. - On one of those sheets of paper, include: (a) the number and name of the report you are ordering, (b) your e-mail address, and (c) your postal address. __________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "How to Start Your Own Home Based Business For Fun & Profit!" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: KKyKo Rideau Town Center Post Office Box 30029 Kingston, ON Canada K7K 7B5 Please ensure sufficient postage, it is slightly more to mail to Canada. If you like I can include how I collected over 4000 email addresses for free and I'll include the list I compiled. Simply add five dollars to this order. _____________________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "An Insiders Handbook on U.S. Government Auction Sales" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: U.S. Champs Post Office Box 1612 Hermitage, PA 16148 _____________________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "How To Make Money Without Leaving Your House!" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Caines 3622 Tiffany Lane West Middlesex, PA 16159 _____________________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "Earn Extra Money With a Home Based Answering Machine" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Timberlane Consultants 2627 Romar Drive Hermitage, PA 16148 _____________________________________________________________ HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PLAN WILL MAKE YOU $MONEY$ _____________________________________________________________ Let's say you decide to start small just to see how well it works. Assume your goal is to get 10 people to participate on your first level. (Placing a lot of FREE ads on the Internet will EASILY get a larger response.) Also assume that everyone else in YOUR ORGANIZATION gets ONLY 10 downline members. Follow this example to achieve the STAGGERING results below. 1st level--your 10 members with $5..................................$50 2nd level--10 members from those 10 ($5 x100)..................$500 3rd level--10 members from those 100 ($5 x 1,000)..............$5,000 4th level--10 members from those 1,000 ($5 x 10,000)...........$50,000 THIS TOTALS ----------------->$55,550 Remember friends, this assumes that the people who participate only recruit 10 people each. Think for a moment what would happen if they got 20 people to participate! Most people get 100's of participants! THINK ABOUT IT!!!!! Your cost to participate in this is practically nothing (surely you can afford $20 for a chance to make $55,000). You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail is FREE!!! REPORT #3 shows you the most productive methods for bulk e-mailing and purchasing e-mail lists. Some list and bulk e-mail vendors even work on trade! About 50,000 new people get online every month! ********TIPS FOR SUCCESS********* *TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. *Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY so you will have them when the orders start coming in because: When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the requested product/report to comply with the U.S. Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18, Sections 1302 and 1341 or Title 18, Section 3005 in the U.S. Code, also Code of Federal Regs. Vol. 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received". *ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. *Be patient and persistant with this program. If you follow the instructions exactly, the results WILL undoubtedly be SUCCESSFUL! *ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL SUCCEED! ************YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINE****************** Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: If you don't receive 10 to 20 orders for REPORT #1 within two weeks, continue advertising until you do. Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2. If you don't, continue advertising until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a DIFFERENT report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. If you want to generate more income, send another batch of e-mails and start the whole process again! There is no limit to the income you will generate from this business!! NOTE: If you need help with starting a business, registering a business name, how income tax is handled, etc., contact your local office of the Small Business Administration (a Federal agency) for free help and answers to questions. Also, the Internal Revenue Service offers free help via telephone and free seminars about business taxes. *******TESTIMONIALS******* This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rule of not trying to place your name in a different position, it won't work and you'll lose a lot of potential income. I'm living proof that it works. It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money, with little cost to you. If you do choose to participate, follow the program exactly, and you'll be on your way to financial security. Sean McLaughlin, Jackson, MS My name is Frank. My wife, Doris, and I live in Bel-Air, MD. I am a cost accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received the program I grumbled to Doris about receiving "junk mail". I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I "knew" it wouldn't work. Doris totally ignored my supposed intelligence and jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old "I told you so" on her when the thing didn't work....Well, the laugh was on me! Within two weeks she had received over 50 responses. Within 45 days she had received over $147,200 in $5 bills! I was shocked! I was sure that I had it all figured out and that it wouldn't work. I AM a believer now. I have joined Doris in her "hobby". I did have seven more years until retirement, but I think of the "rat race" and it's not for me. We owe it all to MLM. Frank T., Bel-Air, MD I just want to pass along my best wishes and encouragement to you. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. I even checked with the U.S. Post Office to verify that the plan was legal. It definitely is! IT WORKS!!!!! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC The main reason for this letter is to convince you that this system is honest, lawful, extremely profitable, and is a way to get a large sum of money in a short time. I was approached several times before I checked this out. I joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received $36,470.00 in the first 14 weeks, with money still coming in. Sincerely yours, Phillip A. Brown, Esq. Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back. Boy, was I surprised when I found my medium-size post office box crammed with orders! For awhile, it got so overloaded that I had to start picking up my mail at the window. I'll make more money this year than in any 10 years of my life before. The nice thing about this deal is that it doesn't matter where in the U.S. the people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return. Mary Rockland, Lansing, MI I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed another program. 11 months passed then it came...I didn't delete this one!...I made more than $41,000 on the first try!! Wilburn, Muncie, IN This is my third time to participate in this plan. We have quit our jobs, and will soon buy a home on the beach and live off the interest on our money. The only way on earth that this plan will work for you is if you do it. For your sake, and for your family's sake don't pass up this golden opportunity. Good luck and happy spending!

Appeals court notices
by bill payne 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

Monday 5/26/98 7:39 AM John Young I looked at http://www.jya.com/nsa-cases.htm CALIFORNIA NORTHERN DISTRICT COURT Gilmore v. NSA Bernstein v. State U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, NINTH CIRCUIT Gilmore v. NSA [Court denied access to docket] Bernstein v. USA, et al 09/10/97 12/08/97 Open: Submitted Looks like Gilmore http://www.cygnus.com/~gnu/ is on his way to the Supreme Court. Too. We must all keep in mind that the government has loaded the courts with its own judges. I was told not to worry if I got caught doing illegal work breaking electronic locks for the FBI. The courts would cover for me. Not enough people took seriously what some were saying during the Vietnam war. Looks like those who screamed "Fascist pigs", unfortunately, were right. FASCISM - a political and economic movement, strongly nationalistic, magnifying the rights of the state as opposed to those of the individual, in which industry, though remaining largely under private ownership, and all administrative political units, are controlled by a strong central government. This morning I will file some papers for Morales with the court. And get forms for notice of appeal to the Tenth circuit. Let's all hope its not too late to make some PEACEFUL changes. And hope for settlement too. Later bill Counterfeiting Wiegand Wire Access Credentials Bill Payne October 16,1996 Abstract Wiegand wire access credentials are easy and inexpensive to counterfeit. Access Control & Security Systems Integration magazine, October 1996 [http://www/securitysolutions.com] published the article, Wiegand technology stands the test of time by PAUL J. BODELL, page 12 Many card and reader manufacturers offer Wiegand (pronounced wee-gand) output. However, only three companies in the world make Wiegand readers. Sensor Engineering of Hamden Conn., holds the patent for Wiegand, and Sensor has licensed Cardkey of Simi Valley, Calif., and Doduco of Pforzheim, Germany, to manufacture Wiegand cards and readers. ... A Wiegand output reader is not the same thing as a Wiegand reader, and it is important to understand the differences. In brief, Wiegand reader use the Wiegand effect to translate card information around the patented Wiegand effect in which a segment of a specially treated wire generates an electronic pulse when subjected to a specific magnetic field. If the pulse is generated when the wire is near a pick-up coil, the pulse can be detected by a circuit. Lining up several rows of wires and passing them by a cold would generate a series of pulses. Lining up two rows of wires - calling on row "zero bits" and the other "one bits" - and passing them by two different coils would generate two series of pulses, or data bits. These data bits can then be interpreted as binary data and used to control other devices. If you seal the coils in a rugged housing with properly placed magnets, and LED and some simple circuitry, you have a Wiegand reader. Carefully laminate the special wires in vinyl, and artwork, and hot-stamp a number on the vinyl, and you have a Wiegand card. IN THE BEGINNING Wiegand was first to introduce to the access control market in the late 1970s. It was immediately successful because it filled the need for durable, secure card and reader technology. Embedded in the cards, Wiegand wires cannot be altered or duplicated. ... Bodell's Last statement is incorrect. Tasks for EASILY counterfeiting Wiegand wire cards are 1 Locate the wires inside the card to read the 0s and 1s. 2 Build an ACCEPTABLE copy of the card. Bodell's clear explanation of the working of a Wiegand card can be visualized zero row | | | one row | | binary 0 1 0 0 1 representation Solutions to Task 1 A X-ray the card B MAGNI VIEW FILM, Mylar film reads magnetic fields ... Edmunds Scientific Company, catalog 16N1, page 205, C33,447 $11.75 is placed over the top of the Wiegand card. COW MAGNET, Cow magnetics allow farmers to trap metal in the stomachs of their cows. Edmunds, page 204, C31,101 $10.75 is placed under the card. Location of the wires is easily seen on the green film. Mark the position of the wires with a pen. Next chop the card vertically using a shear into about 80/1000s paper-match-sized strips. Don't worry about cutting a wire or two. Note that a 0 has the pen mark to the top. A 1 has the pen mark at the bottom. Take a business card and layout the "paper match"-like strips to counterfeit the card number desired. Don't worry about spacing. Wiegand output is self-clocking! Tape the "paper-match - like" strips to the business card. Only the FUNCTION of the card needs to be reproduced!

Holograms
by Xena - Warrior Princess 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

EURO HOLOGRAM IS MISSING Somewhere between Paris and Munich, a unique hologram design, intended to deter counterfeiting of the new euro currency, has turned up missing. The French-made hologram was on its way to a high-security printer near Nuremberg for testing. One European Union monetary official called the disappearance "startling" and there's speculation that the EU may have to change the design of its high-denomination euro banknotes, due to be issued in 2002. The hologram was designed by a small business in Paris and was taken to be loaded onto an Air France flight at Roissy airport by Brink's security services. Officials in Paris say the theft bears the hallmarks of a well-organized crime, as only an expert would understand the significance of the hologram in the note-printing process.

Greetings. I've heard these two are going to come out one day soon. What I'm interested in is what's so new in it that it's being called version 6.0... Thanks in advance. And my second message is about my archive. The reason why it hadn't been updated to something worthwhile is the fact that i need to spell-check the archives i download. There are tons of errors in them. It's just too bad that people don't spell check their own documents on the net. Sincerely, Jan
