List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail, which is available at: ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks/premail/premail-0.30.tar.gz For the PGP public keys of the remailers, as well as some help on how to use them, finger remailer.help.all(a)204.95.228.28 This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"vox"} = "<remail(a)vox.xs4all.nl> cpunk pgp. post"; $remailer{"avox"} = "<anon(a)vox.hacktic.nl> cpunk pgp post"; $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)extropia.wimsey.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"portal"} = "<hfinney(a)shell.portal.com> cpunk pgp hash"; $remailer{"alumni"} = "<hal(a)alumni.caltech.edu> cpunk pgp hash"; $remailer{"bsu-cs"} = "<nowhere(a)bsu-cs.bsu.edu> cpunk hash ksub"; $remailer{"rebma"} = "<remailer(a)rebma.mn.org> cpunk pgp hash"; $remailer{"c2"} = "<remail(a)c2.org> eric pgp hash"; $remailer{"soda"} = "<remailer(a)csua.berkeley.edu> eric post"; $remailer{"penet"} = "<anon(a)anon.penet.fi> penet post"; $remailer{"ideath"} = "<remailer(a)ideath.goldenbear.com> cpunk hash ksub"; $remailer{"usura"} = "<usura(a)replay.com> cpunk pgp. hash latent cut post"; $remailer{"desert"} = "<remail(a)desert.xs4all.nl> cpunk pgp. post"; $remailer{"nately"} = "<remailer(a)nately.ucsd.edu> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; $remailer{"myriad"} = "<remailer(a)myriad.pc.cc.cmu.edu> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"xs4all"} = "<remailer(a)xs4all.nl> cpunk pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"flame"} = "<tomaz(a)flame.sinet.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"rahul"} = "<homer(a)rahul.net> cpunk hash"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)nately.ucsd.edu> cpunk hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"q"} = "<q(a)c2.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"syrinx"} = "<syrinx(a)c2.org> cpunk"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. Use "premail -getkeys remailer.help.all(a)204.95.228.28" as a stopgap to get PGP keys for the remailer, at least until Matt Ghio gets his machine situation straightened out. Fingering this address works too.

A period after the keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email address, should be used as the encryption key ID. oldpgp Remailer does not like messages encoded with MIT PGP 2.6. Other versions of PGP, including 2.3a and 2.6ui, work fine. hash Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of outgoing messages. ksub Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode. nsub Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode. latent Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option. cut Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option. post Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header. special Accepts only pgp encrypted messages. ek Encrypt responses in relpy blocks using Encrypt-Key: header.

Looks like yet another person plans a lurid expose of online services, BBS systems, and the Net. ------ From: FMGG44A(a)prodigy.com (Jerome Haden) Subject: Writer Seeks On-Line Crime Info REQUEST FOR INFORMATION I am currently writing a book length manuscript entitled : "Crash and Burn: A Parents Guide To The Dangers On The Information SuperHighway." I am seeking real events that are "public record" either newspaper articles or court documents which involve the following criminal activity: 1.)

Any teenagers involved in making explosives with information obtained from a computer bulletin board. 4.) Any selling of illegal drugs involving minors on a computer bulletin board. 5.) Any other crimes invloving teenagers as either victims or perpetrators with the use of modems or any manner in "cyberspace".

Re: Data Vaults (vs. Data Havens)

Tim and Eric write things like: > I fully concur. The connotations of the word "haven" imply activities > that ordinary people don't see themselves doing. This means that > ordinary people won't generally use something called a "haven", even > if they might use exactly the same service called something else. We can always call them "Private Storage Servers" or some such; an interesting question is whether the main uses will be for retrieval by the storer, or by someone else, or by a bunch of others, and how we describe the service may affect that.

If any more of this non-cypherpunks related stuff turns up on the list those responsible will be fed "Blue Star", "Sad Clown", and "Bart Simpson" blotter acid (free samples available at your local playground) till they die of strychnine poisoning!
