Anecdote: I was in Cambridge MA this past weekend visiting old friends, some at church. I sat across from one such at lunch -- a young guy up from Texas going on about how good it is that people are fighting cyberporn. I brought up parental control in attempted rebuttal and he switched immediately to the idea that `parents usually *are* the child abusers and we need to protect children from them -- not give parents control over what gets communicated electronically'. I was surprised at the speed with which he switched to that line of thought. It's clear that this chess game opening has been played by or around him before. [Come to think of it now, it's completely consistent with the anti-abortion stand: that children (starting at fetus) are the property of Society and parents are required to serve Society as soon as a child is conceived (or perhaps as soon as they start having sex). If it's child abusers you're talking about, that line of reasoning can carry emotional appeal. However, I lived in Utah at a time when it was illegal for parents to instruct their children about birth control (I was told (I didn't read the law personally.)).] - Carl +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Carl M.

www remailer interface
by nobody＠valhalla.phoenix.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

c'punks, Please check out the new www remailer interface at http://miso.wwa.com/~dochobbs/cpremailer.html It is based on nate's code with one addition for security and contains info from other places. I would appreciate some visits and comments/criticisms before I place it in the general population. Again, give it a thorough test because I want it to be good and secure for me and those using it. It's in its final testing phase (mainly because I haven't got the news instructions just the way I want them) and will be set to go soon. I am, of course, sending this message through the page.

Over 350 'Munitions T-shirts' Shipped
by dhenson＠itsnet.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

As of 27 July 1995, we have shipped over 350 of the RSA/Perl Munition T-shirts. Orders are still pouring in. Don't be left out. Order your's today. Now you can wear a TSHIRT that has been classified as a MUNITION by the US Goverment. That's right! The US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) makes exporting cyrptographic materials illegal. ITAR further defines export as providing cryptographic information to a non-US/Canadian citizen even if you are inside the US at the time. Providing information is further defined as telling or showing information to a non-US/Canadian citizen. The Munitions Tshirt has a Perl implementation of the RSA algorithm (the one used by PGP) printed on the front along with a bar-code of the same algorithm. What all the above means is that if you wear the Munitions Tshirt where a non-US/Canadian citizen can see it, even if it is inside the US, you have just exported cryptographic material (which is already freely available outside the US) and have become a criminal in the eyes of the US Government. Now you too can become an international arms dealer for the price of a tshirt (US$15.95 - US$19.95, depending on size) and the guts to wear it. If you are a non-US/Canadian citizen, you can still own a Munitons Tshirt by ordering the tshirt from a source that is outside the US. The email response to a request for info (see next paragraph) includes full instructions for ordering the tshirt no matter where you live. For more information on how to own this classic example of civil disobedience, just send email to dhenson(a)itsnet.com with the subject of 'SHIRT'. (You don't have to be a US/Canadian citizen to request the info.) Or, if you have WWW access, just point your Web browser to: http://colossus.net/wepinsto/wshome.html By the way, 25% of the profits from the sale of the tshirt (in the US/Canada) goes to the PHIL ZIMMERMANN LEGAL DEFENSE FUND to help defend the author of PGP from harassment and possible prosecution by the Fedgoons. And if you get arrested for wearing the Munitions Tshirt, we'll refund your purchase price. :-) Get your Munitions Tshirt now. Who knows how long they'll stay in production!

It has been stated, :I'm a bit uncomfortable about the hardwiring of a particular remailer into :the chain, according to the Web page : : "Select your remailers [...] Your mail will be automatically sent : to the remailer hfinney(a)shell.portal.com and at least one other : remailer that you choose." : :(Nothing personal, Hal :) : :Why was this done ? : :-Futplex The code was written to be used with a local remailer that then sends it along the others that the sender chooses. I modified it so that I don't need to establish my own remailer by sending it to hfinney(a)shell.portal.com. I think this might provide better security for the sender due to the fact that you are forced to chain your letter thus providing more security. The argument can be made that if the initial hardwired remailer is compromised that this removes all security. I chose hfinney because 1. the turnaround time is good. I wanted the first to be fast because it is basically 'insurance' for the sender. 2. it was a remailer that I am familiar with and has been around (in remailer server time) awhile. 3. it was the one that I personally felt most comfortable with using as the hardwired mailer. Granted these might not be the best reasons, but this is the kind of response I was looking for. I can solve the problem by either 1. removing the hardwired 2. removing the hardwired and forcing you to chain 3. keep the hardwired in and use some 'established' remailer or one the group can come to a consensus on. Responses appreciated. I will gladly distibute the code if desired. Like the page states, it was originally written by Nate Sammons, but I can change it as needed. _____________________________________________________________ dochobbs(a)wwa.com M.D. Hobbs mhobbs(a)rad.rpslmc.edu http://miso.wwa.com/~dochobbs finger for my pgp key I am human and nothing human do I count alien.
