Because as moderators add value to the vast amount of stuff out there. Why do some people pay to get a restricted subset of the cypherpunks? Because they don't want the massive flow of wide open communications and they *trust* the person giving them the subset. Moderators provide a great service, and it is finially being recognized as such in a monetary way. I think that this is a great thing! I agree that moderated groups are useful at keeping the SNR high, and are a great choice for those who can't or haven't time to set up their own filters. However, they can't solve the problems that the Internet is popularly supposed to have (e.g. no provisions for eliminating parental responsibility). Even supposing that US ISPs are *prohibited by law* from carrying unmoderated Usenet groups, how does this address all of the other services (current and future) that can be carried by the Internet? Sorry, the horse is out of the stable, and the only 99% control option open to the government now is cutting the phone lines at the border. If an individual (e.g. a parent) wants to limit net access for certain services to emasculated resources, perhaps Microsoft Restrict (TM) and Prodigy can provide a desired service. Otherwise, the solution to the problem has to lie closer to home. -- Roger Williams -- Coelacanth Engineering -- Middleborough, Mass #!/usr/local/bin/perl -s-- -export-a-crypto-system-sig -RSA-in-3-lines-PERL ($k,$n)=(a)ARGV;$m=unpack(H.$w,$m."\0"x$w),$_=`echo "16do$w 2+4Oi0$d*-^1[d2% Sa2/d0<X+d*La1=z\U$n%0]SX$k"[$m*]\EszlXx++p|dc`,s/^.|\W//g,print pack('H*' ,$_)while read(STDIN,$m,($w=2*$d-1+length($n||die"$0 [-d] k n\n")&~1)/2)

UNWANTED KEYSPACE

I'm in Oakland. There's a great pub (30 taps) right around the corner from my house. Or do you have a place in mind in Walnut Creek for the hoisting? Regards, Anthony "We are what we repeatedly do.

RC4
by Donald M. Kitchen 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I was trying to throw a few already wasted CPU cycles to the RC4 bit, but had some problems getting the cypher and plain files. (I can't "save next link", only "save current" which sometimes doesn't work well.) So anyway, I decide to run a 24 bit test run on what I've got, using the "extra allocated" keyspace. It says got it at c70014639. Since I know I'm not lucky enough to pick the 5 seconds worth of CPU time that would work, I think someone better send me (by email thanks, lets not clutter the list) the uue of the cypher and plain. I ran the dos version, BTW, but I'm going to compile under Linux. When we decide _which_ key we're going to crack, I could finagle basically full cpu time on about 10 hp9000's for 6 hours a day. Would that help? ;) Don

Re: something to scare the *piss* out of ya
by Tim Scanlon 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

If this story is true, and can be substantiated, why the hell wern't the cops involved prosecuted, or walked out to a wall and summarily shot for crimes against humanity. The last time I checked torture and dismemberment were war crimes, and intolerable behavior in civilized nations. If it *IS* true there goddamn well should be congressional hearings on it. I would suggest contacting any of the local news media in DC, but would reccommend the local ABC affiliate, WJLA for contact since they are in the midst of tearing the ATF a new asshole (and are going to do the same to the FBI tomorrow night from what they say) over the Waco raid. The ABC affiliate here has caused new Senate hearings apparently, it seems that the longer things go on, the more nastiness is dragged out on this. If this bit wasn't true, then it's despicable propaganda, and anyone involved with it's distribution should be ashamed of themselves. I do not believe liberty and democracy can easily survive if citizens or public servants lie. True strength lives in honest discourse and the actions of reasoned men, acting in a thoughtful and honest manner. It's damned easy to run around splattering the net with nasty scare stories about the evils of LEO's, but it takes a bit more to actually do something. I'd say with stuff like this the best course would be to put up, and contact your elected offcials, or shut up. Becasue if it is true, no decent person should tolerate it. And if it isn't, damn the persons who lie for obscuring the truth.
