'Tatu Ylonen' was reported to have written: > I do find it rather shocking that the most powerful country in the > world sets industrial espionage as the primary task of their > intelligence services. Well, I have a letter from a United States Senator which was received last year in response to my phone call in opposition to the Digital Telephone Act of 1994 (S. 2375). Here's the interesting part: "According to the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Louis Freeh, the number one law enforcement, public safety, and national security issue facing us today is preserving the ability to conduct court approved wiretaps." In other words, retaining the ability to monitor citizen communications is their greatest concern. This should be more than shocking to anyone who cares about privacy. It appears as though the primary function of the FBI and the "intelligence services" are similarly directed. One significant distinction is that the FBI's stated mission is directed toward the "owners of the country" (to borrow a term from Perot).

Re: Canarypunk: Jim Bell in a coalmine

>Okay. So we know that Bell has pled, and he's in there for a while. > >How long until he gets out, now? > >Has he moved to another facility? > >Is all this moot because he's admitting to something which is not related >to his activities on this list? If I remember, his A/P rant here was still >pretty central to the Feds' case, right? As far as I can tell from what I've read on the list, Jim has plead guilty but will not be sentenced until sometime in October. (November?) In the interim period, he'll be interviewed pretty extensively by a federal probation officer, who will prepare a presentencing report which discusses Jim's attitude(s), prior conviction(s), drug/alcohol use, family status/influences, work history, etc. The presentence report is supposed to provide a context (for better or worse) into which the conviction(s) and sentence are placed. Jim and his attorney are supposed to get a chance to review the presentence report and object to it or supplement it before sentencing. This is a part of the process where it's possible that Jim is about to get screwed, because in large part this is one big litmus test re "bad attitude" (towards authority), which Jim had at one time, and quite possibly still has. The sentence he recieves will depend upon the federal sentencing guidelines; the guidelines will provide a range of months for incarceration and/or probation, depending on the offense level of the crime(s) he plead to and his criminal history (which appears to be relatively minimal, e.g., a previous guilty plea re possession of a precursor to methamphetamine). It's difficult to guess what his final offense level will be (and hence guess what range the judge will have to work with) because it depends on the amount of taxes he evaded. The sentence is determined by the judge, and should be within the range(s) specified by the sentencing guidelines, unless the judge has a reason to depart (which can be "upward" = more time, or "downward" = less time) from the guidelines; there are a number of adjustments to the offense level for things like weapon use, acceptance of responsibility, etc. The judge is only allowed to depart from the range specified if there are aggravating/mitigating factors which aren't covered by the pre-existing adjustments. More information about the sentencing guidelines is available at <www.ussc.gov>. His political/economic ideas aren't relevant/important to the crimes he plead to, although I personally suspect that they've got a lot to do with the decision to investigate and prosecute him. -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles(a)netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |

But the non-crypto world has of course not solved this > problem, either. I've often thought that in a system of digital pseudonyms, where no-one need trade with a negative reputation (a reputation deficit?), something like Akerlof's Market for Lemons will arise, and _all_ pseudonyms will be treated as (reputationally) worthless. [Akerlof, if I remember my economics right (and I am confident that I will be corrected if I don't) analysed a market for used cars. There were two types of cars: good ones, and lemons. A purchaser couldn't tell the difference until she had bought the car. Since the expected value of a used car was less than the value of a good car, purchasers wouldn't pay the good car price. But that would mean owners of good cars wouldn't offer them for sale (in this market). So the only cars for sale would be lemons :-)] As Tim points out, this is a non-crypto problem as well, and devices such as bonds or (which are game-theoretically similar) expensive advertising or plush premises [if they spent an unrefundable $20million on the Rolling Stones, they're not likely to throw it all away by ripping you off for $100 ;-)] are used to convince potential customers of one's bona fides. How these transfer to the world of cyber-finance, I'm not sure, but I suspect it leaves a role for True Names in the management of credit risk: as escrow agents, middlemen, clearing houses etc. [Although, having said that, if the Akerlof analysis applies, you just *can't* grant (unsecured) credit to pseudonyms - the percentage of defaulters will be 100...] But these Names are True only in the sense that they are juridically persistent (that is, if they transact today, they can be sued tomorrow), and need not be traceable to any True People (Warm Bodies?) - anonymously held corporations, for example. If you can't rely on the unsecured promise of a digital pseudonym, and you can't accept reputation as 'security', how do you extend credit?

Cryptanalysis of S-1
by dawagner＠tucson.Princeton.EDU 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I just got back from vacation in time to see the brouhaha over S-1. My, my. So I'll describe an attack on S-1 which takes 2^32 known plaintexts and 2^64 operations, assuming that F, G, clear_family, and cipher_family are known (but arbitrary). Tradeoffs are possible: a similar attack breaks S-1 with 2^48 known plaintexts and 2^48 operations. This adds weight to the hypothesis that S-1 is a hoax (assuming that the NSA was trying to design a strong cipher!)... I should point out that this attack works for an arbitrary number of rounds. It shows that increasing the number of rounds will never make S-1 secure. To fix S-1, the key schedule must be repaired. Anyhow, here's the attack. Several people have noted that the S-1 round keys repeat every 5 rounds. I'll take advantage of this with an attack reminiscent of related-key techniques (but I don't need any related-keys, Mind you!). If P is a known plaintext, let P_i denote the intermediate block after i rounds. I'm going to look for a pair of matching plaintexts P,Q: a pair for which P_5 = Q_0. Then we'll have P_{5+j} = Q_j for all j. Pictorially: P_0 P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4 P_5 Q_0 P_6 Q_1 ... ... P_31 Q_26 P_32 Q_27 Q_28 Q_29 Q_30 Q_31 Q_32 The birthday paradox says that with 2^32 known plaintexts, there should be at a matching pair P,Q. If I can recognize it, I can exploit it as follows. Note that (P_0,Q_0) and (P_32,Q_32) are two known plaintext-ciphertext pairs for 5-round S-1. These two known plaintexts for 5-round S-1 are enough to find the 5 round subkeys by standard methods (since we know the inputs and outputs to almost all the F boxes in these two examples). Thus, each pair P,Q will suggest one key value, and the right (matching) pair will suggest the correct key value (which can be easily recognized with one trial decryption). I don't know how to recognize matching pairs directly, but I can try all 2^32 * 2^32 possible pairs, and I'm guaranteed to find the matching plaintext pair if there is one after 2^64 trial decryptions. That's the basic attack. Here's a sketch of how to trade off known plaintexts for time. I'd really like to be able to detect matching pairs easily, because then I'd be able to use a hash table (or sorted list) to find a matching pair more efficiently. So I'll note that I can detect matching pairs pretty accurately if P,Q are in a particular form. I'll construct an oracle which can quickly tell if two plaintext-ciphertext pairs (X,Y) (X',Y') for 5-round S-1 were enciphered with the same key, if they're in a special form. Let A,A' be the 32 bits from X,X' entering the F boxes in round 2; let B,B' be the 16 bits output from the F boxes in round 2; let C,D,C',D' be the 16 bits affected by the F boxes in round 2 from X,Y,X',Y' -- so that D = C ^ B = C ^ f(A ^ K_2) D' = C' ^ B' = C' ^ f(A' ^ K'_2). If K_2 = K'_2 and A = A', then D ^ C should equal D' ^ C'. So this is how I'll construct the oracle: it insists that (X,Y) (X',Y') be of a form so that A = A', and it reports that (X,Y) (X',Y') were enciphered with the same key when D ^ C = D' ^ C'. The oracle will always answer correctly if they were enciphered with the same key, and will answer incorrectly 2^{-16} of the time when the were enciphered with different keys. So now we are considering (X,Y) = (P_0,P_5) = (P_0,Q_0) and (X',Y') = (Q_27,Q_32) = (P_32,Q_32). The oracle's precondition means that 32 bits of P_0 equal a corresponding 32 bits of P_32. The tradeoff attack follows from this. Get 2^48 known plaintexts. Consider only those known plaintext-ciphertext pairs (P_0,P_32) which meet the 32 bit oracle precondition as possibilities for P. There will be 2^16 possibilities for P. Let Q range over all 2^48 possibilities. Then we expect there to be some right matching pair P,Q: the oracle is guaranteed to detect it, and also another 2^48 wrong pairs. Each possible pair P,Q will suggest a key value, so the wrong pairs can be filtered out with a total of 2^48 trial encryptions, leaving only the right pair and the right key value. This would seem to require 2^16 * 2^48 oracle computations since there are 2^16 values for P and 2^48 possibilities for Q. But wait: the oracle can be implemented more efficiently as a table lookup. Store all 2^16 possibilities for P in a lookup table, keyed on the 16 bit value D^C used by the oracle. For each Q, calculate the 16 bit value D' ^ C' and search in the table for a matching D ^ C value (which gives you a possible matching pair P,Q). This technique requires a total of 2^48 table lookups, 2^48 trial decryptions, 2^16 space, and 2^48 known plaintexts. Further tradeoffs between # of known plaintexts and time appear to be possible... I've ignored the issue of the G box throughout. Actually, it does change the number a little bit -- but just by random luck, the two G box outputs should match 1 in 2^2 times, so we only need to increase the complexity of this attack by about 2^2 to account for the G box. The G box didn't add much strength. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Wagner dawagner(a)princeton.edu

Earn money fast and legal
by Fredric_Olsson＠hotmail.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear friend, Please read the following information. The income opportunity is one you may be interested in. I am just an average person with basic computer knowledge and it has worked for me. It can be started with VERY MINIMAL outlay and the income return is TREMENDOUS! Please print this message and read it over twice. You will not regret it, I sure haven't! You will not receive another message from me, so there is no need to remove yourself from any list if you are not interested. I expect, however, you will be! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ You are about to make at least $50,000 - In less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THIS IS A LEGITIMATE and LEGAL money making opportunity. It does not require you to come into contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave your house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break, you may wait forever unless you act. This is a chance to act, and it will work. Simply follow the instructions and you will make a handsome profit for the few hours involved. Multi-level marketing (MLM) has gained national respectability. It is being taught at Harvard Business School and both Stanford Research and the Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold through multi-level marketing by the late 1990s. This is a Billion-dollar industry and the of the 500,000 millionaires in the United States, 20% (100,000) have made their fortune in the last several years using MLM. Moreover, statistics show that approximately 45 people become millionaires each day through Multi-level marketing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Christopher Erickson. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends, and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER....FINANCIALLY!!! In mid-December, I received this program via email. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. But like I was saying, in December of '95 I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT". Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my orders. I am telling you like it is, I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself that I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! (A good program to help do this is Stealth Mass Mailer, an email extracting and mass mail program which can be found @ http://www.mitent.com/stealth.html. Shop around, you may be able to find a better deal.) In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By January 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By January 30th, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 19th, of my emailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every day. I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. Please take time to read the attached program, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it wont work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry. It really is a great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Christopher Erickson P.S. Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills ($58,000) look like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S AWESOME! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM By the time you have read the enclosed information and looked over the enclosed program and reports, you should have concluded that such a program, and one that is legal, could not have been created by an amateur. Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a profitable business for ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the unemployment rate...because many of you know from first hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before. The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who never had anything to save or invest, were moving down into the ranks of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER." The traditional methods of making money will never allow you to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that. You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. I should also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several offices which market this and several other programs here in the US and overseas. By the Spring, we wish to market the 'Internet' by a partnership with AMERICA ONLINE. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on every one of them!. Remember though, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! THINK ABOUT IT ! Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take a little time to read it and REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter how you calculate it, you will still make a lot of money! Definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$ Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you. CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550!!!! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an Internet connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT #3 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY. 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. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions, and your dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!! The longer you wait, the more people will be doing business using email. Get your piece of this action!! INSTRUCTIONS We at Erris Mail Order Marketing Business, have a method of raising capital that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say "Bull", please read the program carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi- level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home, store or office. This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: Step (1) Order all four 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF- ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders should also include $1 extra for postage. In lieu of sending an self addressed, stamped envelope, you may simply include your email address if you wish to receive your report by email. It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR 4 REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day service on all orders. Step (2) Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the names and addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS!!! Step (3) Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email lists. Step (4) Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more than ever. Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on the Internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00. IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase these lists when you order the four 4 REPORTS. ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS!!! REQUIRED REPORTS ***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC REPORT BY NAME AND NUMBER ________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Fredric Olsson Lillgårda Hagestad 276 45 Löderup SWEDEN _______________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Johansen Inc.

You too, will be making money in 20 to 90 days, if you follow the SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing. To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments, retire or take a vacation. No longer will a lack of money hold you back. However, very few people reach financial independence, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply. My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that costs me pennies to produce and email. I should also point out that this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but getting NOTHING in return, NO product what-so-ever! Not only are chain letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite unattractive. You are offering a legitimate product to your people. They are obtaining information that will not only help them with this business venture but others as well. They also are obtaining the rights to reproduce the reports. After they purchase the product from you, they reproduce more and resell them. It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material, the PRODUCT is a series of four 4 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making your participation in this program more rewarding, but will be useful to you in any other business decisions you make in the years ahead. You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORTS, which will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The concise one and two page REPORTS you will be buying can easily be reproduced at a local copy center for a cost off about 3 cents a copy. Best wishes with the program and Good Luck! ------------------------------------Testimonials:-------------------------- --------- "I had received this program before. I threw it away, but later wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get a copy, so I had to wait until I was emailed another copy of the program.

You must remember, your name and address go next to REPORT #1 and the others all move down one, with the fourth one being bumped OFF the list. 4. Obtain as many email addresses as possible to send until you receive the information on mailing list companies in REPORT #3. (It is a good idea to purchase bulk email lists, which generally cost around $35.00 for 100,000 names. Or you can start out the way I did, simply mailing out a few hundred to acquaintances and people who post to newsgroups.) 5. Decide on the number of programs you intend to send out. The more you send, and the quicker you send them, the more money you will make. 6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill the orders. 7.

Earn money fast and legal
by Fredric_Olsson＠hotmail.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear friend, Please read the following information. The income opportunity is one you may be interested in. I am just an average person with basic computer knowledge and it has worked for me. It can be started with VERY MINIMAL outlay and the income return is TREMENDOUS! Please print this message and read it over twice. You will not regret it, I sure haven't! You will not receive another message from me, so there is no need to remove yourself from any list if you are not interested. I expect, however, you will be! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ You are about to make at least $50,000 - In less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THIS IS A LEGITIMATE and LEGAL money making opportunity. It does not require you to come into contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave your house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break, you may wait forever unless you act. This is a chance to act, and it will work. Simply follow the instructions and you will make a handsome profit for the few hours involved. Multi-level marketing (MLM) has gained national respectability. It is being taught at Harvard Business School and both Stanford Research and the Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold through multi-level marketing by the late 1990s. This is a Billion-dollar industry and the of the 500,000 millionaires in the United States, 20% (100,000) have made their fortune in the last several years using MLM. Moreover, statistics show that approximately 45 people become millionaires each day through Multi-level marketing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Christopher Erickson. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends, and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER....FINANCIALLY!!! In mid-December, I received this program via email. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. But like I was saying, in December of '95 I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT". Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my orders. I am telling you like it is, I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself that I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! (A good program to help do this is Stealth Mass Mailer, an email extracting and mass mail program which can be found @ http://www.mitent.com/stealth.html. Shop around, you may be able to find a better deal.) In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By January 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By January 30th, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 19th, of my emailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every day. I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. Please take time to read the attached program, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it wont work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry. It really is a great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Christopher Erickson P.S. Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills ($58,000) look like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S AWESOME! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM By the time you have read the enclosed information and looked over the enclosed program and reports, you should have concluded that such a program, and one that is legal, could not have been created by an amateur. Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a profitable business for ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the unemployment rate...because many of you know from first hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before. The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who never had anything to save or invest, were moving down into the ranks of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER." The traditional methods of making money will never allow you to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that. You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. I should also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several offices which market this and several other programs here in the US and overseas. By the Spring, we wish to market the 'Internet' by a partnership with AMERICA ONLINE. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on every one of them!. Remember though, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! THINK ABOUT IT ! Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take a little time to read it and REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter how you calculate it, you will still make a lot of money! Definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$ Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you. CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550!!!! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an Internet connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT #3 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY. 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. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions, and your dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!! The longer you wait, the more people will be doing business using email. Get your piece of this action!! INSTRUCTIONS We at Erris Mail Order Marketing Business, have a method of raising capital that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say "Bull", please read the program carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi- level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home, store or office. This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: Step (1) Order all four 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF- ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders should also include $1 extra for postage. In lieu of sending an self addressed, stamped envelope, you may simply include your email address if you wish to receive your report by email. It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR 4 REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day service on all orders. Step (2) Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the names and addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS!!! Step (3) Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email lists. Step (4) Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more than ever. Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on the Internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00. IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase these lists when you order the four 4 REPORTS. ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS!!! REQUIRED REPORTS ***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC REPORT BY NAME AND NUMBER ________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Fredric Olsson Lillgårda Hagestad 276 45 Löderup SWEDEN _______________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Johansen Inc.

You too, will be making money in 20 to 90 days, if you follow the SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing. To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments, retire or take a vacation. No longer will a lack of money hold you back. However, very few people reach financial independence, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply. My method is simple.

Doubtful, as we already have evidence that people are treating some digital pseudonyms as reputationally valuable. Examples abound. >[Akerlof, if I remember my economics right (and I am confident that I will >be corrected if I don't) analysed a market for used cars.

Since the expected value of a used car was less >than the value of a good car, purchasers wouldn't pay the good car price. >But that would mean owners of good cars wouldn't offer them for sale (in >this market). So the only cars for sale would be lemons :-)] I haven't encountered this example, but it clearly misses some important real-world issues. First, people buying used cars are strongly advised to take the car to an independent mechanic to be checked out (a kind of variant of the "cut-and-choose" protocol at work). This often reveals lemons. Second, people take test drives, look under the hood, kick the tires, etc. This also often reveals lemons. Third, the reputation of the used car dealer is, despite nearly a century of jokes to the contrary, often very important. The last two cars I've bought I bought used--albeit with low mileage on each--from car dealers. I took test drives and got a limited warranty in each case. The first car I drove for 12 years with essentially no problems, the second I've been driving for almost 3 years. Like a lot of simple game-theoretic models, the application to the real world is quite different. But I certainly agree that crypto will reignite interest in analyses of such game theory questions. Another way of viewing anonymity vs. non-anonymity is that knowing the True Name of a party with whom one trades is just _one element_ of a transaction. By no means is it essential. (Think of various trading situations where one has no idea of the True Name of the other parties: cash-and-carry transactions, flea markets, many international trade arrangements, etc. As we have discussed in past discussions of anarchy, the international trading regime is essentially an anarchy, in that no Higher Authority exists to resolve disputes in a top-down way...the so-called "Law Merchant" evolved to resolve disputes in such trading situations.) >As Tim points out, this is a non-crypto problem as well, and devices such as >bonds or (which are game-theoretically similar) expensive advertising or >plush premises [if they spent an unrefundable $20million on the Rolling >Stones, they're not likely to throw it all away by ripping you off for >$100 ;-)] are used to convince potential customers of one's bona fides. > >How these transfer to the world of cyber-finance, I'm not sure, but I suspect >it leaves a role for True Names in the management of credit risk: as escrow >agents, middlemen, clearing houses etc. [Although, having said that, if the >Akerlof analysis applies, you just *can't* grant (unsecured) credit to >pseudonyms - the percentage of defaulters will be 100...] But these Names are >True only in the sense that they are juridically persistent (that is, if >they transact today, they can be sued tomorrow), and need not be traceable >to any True People (Warm Bodies?) - anonymously held corporations, for >example. > >If you can't rely on the unsecured promise of a digital pseudonym, and you >can't accept reputation as 'security', how do you extend credit? I am willing to extend some amound of credit to PrOduct Cypher, Black Unicorn, etc., based on their past reputation and on the fact that I can show to others the transactions into which their pseudonyms entered and thus expose them if they default. Now _how much_ I'm willing to extend is of course a more complicated issue, but the principal is still there: a purely digital pseudonym, with no possibility of being tied to a True Name, can still be extended credit....I just said I would do so. --Tim May ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Right, small, warm-blooded creature. There are a plethora of available avenues for surruptitious agents to exploit InterNet technology and methodology in order to reveal both your identity and the content of your communications. To truly achieve anonymity and privacy, one should be prepared to use the strictest standards of paranoia, the full capabilities of privacy and anonymity tools, and personal methodologies aimed at thwarting unlikely and/or impossible surveillance techniques as well as the currently known methods. Beyond the mere technology itself, one must consider the possibile use of psychological manipulation of individuals and groups into a specific mindset that, combined with an analysis of the individual's natural psychological profile, can enable a surreptitious entity to move the individual toward patterns or processes which will make the technological tools of identity and information analysis more effective. For example, take the fictitious case wherein an individual is prone to using only two different remailers, say, for instance, the remailer at c2net and the remailer at dhp.com. Suppose that the remailer at c2net was being monitored surreptitiously by an agent who had access to their system, but either had no way to access messages encrypted to the remailer, or their efforts to monitor the remailer seemed to be thwarted at times by another, unknown entity with access to the system. The surreptitious agent could arrange to have the c2net remailer shut down under some pretext, and seed the monitored individual's private email, mailing lists, and newsgroups with subtle pointers/suggestions as to the reliability/security, etc., of another remailer which was more securely under the agent's control, say, for instance, a remailer at replay.com. After the monitored individual has begun using the remailer at replay.com, then the agent would proceed to do the same thing in regard to the remailer at dhp.com, and another remailer controlled by the agent or associates of the agent, say, for instance the remailer at cypherpunks.ca. The agent is now in a postion to have the majority of the monitored individual's communications vulnerable to identity, information and traffic analysis, and thus will have an enormous amount of information to work with should the individual occasionally spread their anonymous communications through remailers that the agent may have less complete access to. If we suppose that the agent also is able to manipulate the monitored individual into sending the agent email that is encrypted to several recipients, including the agent or the agent's associates, then we see that the agent now has an even broader database of known information which can be analyzed to provide clues as to the identity of and the information sent by others who communicate with the individual who is being monitored. This fictitious example, if it came to pass, would serve to provide information to the agent which could be used to more effeciently target those who would be subjected to more restricted forms of surveillance, such as monitoring of the physical signals given off by their computer, keyboard, and monitor. All in all, the small, warm-blooded creature is correct in implying that one should always keep a shotgun by their computer, in the firm knowledge that the dogs of war do not always bark to announce their omnipresence. > Greets to all my friends in domestic surveilance.

Overload Alert: I use "escrow" here in the more mundane sense of the folks who collect your real estate taxes and homeowners' insurance from you 1/12th at a time along with your mortgage payment, for instance. If the buyer has a =nonymous= agent to recieve the payment, which is only released to the seller upon proof(s) of performance (whether in lump sum or on a schedule of staged payments tied to specific milestones in a long-term project) then the buyer has someone to go after in the event of such shenannigans.

And the escrow method dynamically scales to meet this threat, whereas the bond is static. Of course, the escrow agent will extract his pound of flesh, just as any other form of insurance. Such is the nature of life. * A Liberal puts your money where his mouth is. --- * Monster(a)FAmend.Com *
