Re: FC: Quotes of the Day (and cybercrime)

James Glave's Wired News article at http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/10605.html is nice, especially the quote from Peter Neumann about how this may be a con game by Janet Reno to get more budget. After all, the Feds has been doing computer security for a while, though not with the expertise of the NSA. So if they're so hot, why do they keep getting cracked so badly, and on such critical stuff as payroll data, which in the government is almost certain to include SSNs? There's already a National Computer Security Center - she could ask them for help, rather than starting a competing one. >LIVERMORE, Calif.

Radio Frequency Warfare Hearing
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We offer the lengthy prepared testimony at the Joint Economic Committee hearing February 25 on "Radio Frequency Weapons and Proliferation: Potential Impact on the Economy." http://jya.com/rfw-jec.htm (112K) Or zipped: http://jya.com/rfw-jec.zip (39K) It provides descriptions of the RF weapons, their development, research and testing, global spread, and threat to the infrastructure and national security. The Internet availability of Carlo Kopp's paper on the E-bomb and similar RFW information is cited as evidence of the spread of the threatening technology. The hearing evolved from JEC hearing testimony in June 1997 which described the threat from RFW, especially that developed by the Former Soviet Union: Magnetohydrodynamic Generator Frequency (MHDGF) Explosive Magnetic Generator of Frequency (EMGF) Implosive Magnetic Generator of Frequency (IMGF) Cylindrical Shock Wave Source (CSWS) Spherical Shock Wave Source (SSWS) Ferromagnetic Generator of Frequency (FMGF) Superconductive Former of Magnetic Field Shock Wave (SFMFSW) Piezoelectric Generator of Frequency (PEGF) Superconducting Ring Burst Generator (SCRBG)

Backyard RF Weapon
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Excerpt from congressional hearing on RF weapons: Mr. David Schriner is the Principal Engineer directed energy studies with Electronic Warfare Associates and a recently retired engineer with the naval weapons testing facility at China Lake. He has numerous patents, has received superior service awards, and given technical presentations over 42 years of civil and military service. He will discuss the difficulty in building a RF weapon and the terrorist threat. [Excerpt] In support of the information presented in this testimony and taking advantage of the winter's need to work indoors, a unit that uses oil spark-gaps was designed, built, and tested. The materials for it were mail-ordered at a cost of about $500 and about one week was needed to fabricate the mechanical hardware. It use two ignition coils and a battery for power, an automobile fuel pump and filter for the oil circulation, and commonly available transformer oil. An additional week was required to work out all of the electrical wiring, the oil lines, and the general finishing details. This unit was ready for testing in two weeks after starting the effort. The signal radiated from the unit was measured and found to be a very significant power level that can be compared against available vulnerability and susceptibility levels of military equipment. When the weather permits, this unit will be tested against a set of infrastructure targets at an official test range. >From the measurements and known signal levels, this unit is expected to be consistently deadly to many types of infrastructure items at ranges suitable for terrorist usage. This quickly-developed low-cost system could easily be placed in a small van and used in a parking lot or directed at buildings that the van was driven past. It is highly likely that this type of device would be a very effective terrorist system and the findings of its design could be factored into another either a larger, higher powered device, or a more advanced design each with significantly greater effectiveness. The net result of all of this design, experimentation, fabrication and measurement proves that such a weapon system could be made by anyone with an engineering degree or even a bright technician with good hardware experience. The technical information required can be found in open sources, if not just from good common engineering sense. The materials needed are nothing special and if the effort is made, advanced concepts can be made using everyday hardware such as automotive ignition systems. The testing to date has been very limited but the results of this testing have provided considerable insight to just what is vulnerable in infrastructure systems. This insight and work leads to a firm opinion that a terrorist would have little trouble developing such technology and that he would have a high probability of success in the use as an RF weapon against our infrastructure elements found in any city or near facilities around the country. This work has been done within the proper security guidelines since: 1.The models made in my home laboratory/workshop used off-the-shelf materials and open-source references. 2.The laboratory tests of this hardware were made in a controlled environment with the proper security in place. 3.The results of these tests, the data capabilities, and the target set identities are kept in a facility cleared for classified storage. 4.The development of any of this hardware is reported on a regular basis to those with whom I relate at a classified level to assure that they are informed of the work and are able to apply this to their interests and efforts if necessary. Any of this hardware can be used by them for any determination of utility to military interests. Work in this area will be continued and an aggressive test and evaluation of these "back yard" techniques and methods will be accomplished. This process will be done in cooperation, and if requested, under the direction of agencies with an interest in this non-military weapon related process. The author of this report will, if requested, provide to the Committee further details at a classified level in the proper security environment. ----- Full hearing testimony: http://jya.com/rfw-jec.htm

HP Crypto Export
by Michael Elder 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From the NY Times online (www.nytmes.com) February 28, 1998 Hewlett-Packard Granted License For Encryption System By PETER WAYNER The Commerce Department has granted Hewlett-Packard an export license for its VerSecure encryption architecture allowing the company and its licensees to export strong encryption tools, the company announced Friday. The catch is that the products must take their orders from a central computer system that will dictate how all the products will behave in each country. The company hopes that the solution would break the deadlock between the Clinton Administration, which continues to restrict the export of secure computer technology throughout the world, and the computer industry, which contends that foreigners are not interested in buying products that don't protect their secrets. The new solution effectively disconnects the problem of distributing encryption technology from the process of determining the policy for government access to information. The heart is a new class of trusted hardware cards and chips that take their orders from a central company known as a Security Domain Authority or SDA. In countries, like France, that require people to keep a record of keys for unlocking data, the SDA would only allow the computers to encrypt information if it complied with the laws. In countries with no laws about encryption usage like the United States, Germany and Great Britain, the SDA would allow users to encrypt in whatever manner they choose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is very hardware-specific with the flexibility of software and that gives us a lot of strength in terms of tamper resistance Feisal Mosleh, business development manager at Hewlett-Packard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hewlett-Packard sees the solution as a win for the industry, which will be able to build one set of hardware and software that can be shipped throughout the world. The SDA's will set the local rules because the computers will not encrypt information without first getting permission from the SDA. Doug McGowan, one of the director of Hewlett-Packard's efforts, said in a telephone interview, "Never before has a general purpose cryptography tool been exportable from the United States, with or without key recovery. We're opening a huge market for American industry to enable commerce on a worldwide basis." The price for this flexibility is the need for specialized hardware that treats the SDA as its master. In an ordinary computer, the owner can control all aspects of what the computer does. This extra hardware will raise the price of machines and is bound to be more expensive than software which can be distributed at minimal cost. Feisal Mosleh, a business development manager at Hewlett-Packard, pointed out that specialized hardware can offer faster performance and more security. "It is very hardware-specific with the flexibility of software and that gives us a lot of strength in terms of tamper resistance" he said in a phone interview. Many security experts continue to point out that general-use microcomputers and their operating systems are dangerously insecure. In one recent attack, hackers were able to begin transfers from a bank account by manipulating accounting software. Off-loading the process to specialized hardware makes it simpler to ensure that the system is secure because the special hardware has only one job. Hewlett-Packard says that it is licensing the architecture to a number of different computer vendors and announced that IBM, Motorola, CertCo, Trusted Information System, Microsoft and RSA Data Securities had already signed licenses. The vendors will be free to choose how they implement the special computer hardware, but most will probably use firmware with an embedded microprocessor. The initial version will reportedly include DES, tripleDES, RSA, RC2, RC4 and DiffieHellman algorithms. Each of these solutions can be sped up by specialized hardware, but only a general microprocessor can handle all of them with equal agility. The specialized hardware will also be tamper-proof to prevent people from circumventing the commands of the SDA. When an encryption card is first started up, it cannot begin working until it has received instructions from an SDA in its country. This information is contained in a "policy token." Joe Beyers, general manager of Hewlett-Packard's Internet Software business unit, explained, "The token says, 'You can use this amount of key, this amount of strength for this amount of time.'" Beyers went on to say, "The aspect of time allows the government to evolve their policy. Time limits are one of the attributes that made it attractive to the U.S. government." It would be possible for a government to change policy with the system from time to time, perhaps forcing citizens to use long keys in time of war to protect themselves and then relaxing the policy after peace emerged. In the current plan, policy tokens would be good for one year, forcing computers to re-register with an SDA in order to keep working. The SDA would have no control of a token after it was issued and would only be able to change policies at the renewal. The relationship between the SDA and the key recovery program is more difficult to describe. The SDA would not keep any records of any keys that would allow the police to eavesdrop on calls. But the policy tokens would force the embedded hardware to obey the local laws that might include key recovery. The FBI has asked Congress to mandate key recovery systems that give it clear access to all communications. The yearly interrogation between the SDA and the individual computers does not mean that the system will be foolproof. Someone could simply carry a laptop from a country that allows personal privacy to a country with more invasive laws and use it freely until the policy token runs out. Also, it may be possible to spoof the token authorization procedure by pretending that the request came from one country instead of another. Some critics found the use of special hardware to be problematic. Jim Lucier, a policy analyst for the Americans for Tax Reform, a Republican think tank, pointed out that specialized hardware was ignored by the marketplace in the past. "None of it ever works" he said, "because the more obvious solution, which is end-to-end encryption, is already there." Lucier also pointed out that specialized hardware is more complicated to engineer and much more expensive to distribute than software. "Atoms cost more than bits, it just comes down to that," he said. In a press conference Friday morning, Beyers promised that the new hardware was "months, not years away" and also promised that the hardware costs would be as low as possible. Marc Rotenberg, director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, suggested that replacing the current export control bureaucracy with a network of SDA's was not a significant advance. "Government efforts to regulate crypto will only slow the development of commerce," he said. In fact, the decision by the United States government to grant a license to Hewlett-Packard's architecture is far from liberating. Companies making VerSecure products can only ship them to countries approved by the United States government, a list which at this time is limited to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark and Australia. More countries will become open if and when they create an SDA infrastructure that is acceptable to the United States. Hewlett-Packard has gone to great lengths to prevent rogue nations from setting up their own unauthorized SDA's by cloning hardware. The infrastructure uses CertCo's secure certificate servers to restrict the ability to create the software necessary to build the tokens. Beyers says that no one person at Hewlett-Packard has the ability to do this in order to reduce the potential for corruption and theft. Hewlett-Packard is also working heavily with foreign countries to assure them that the system does not include back doors that might be accessible by the United States government. Beyers said that the company had retained an international group of cryptographic experts to vet the system and allay any fears of hidden back doors. A press release from Hewlett-Packard quoted William A. Reinsch, undersecretary of commerce, as saying, "We are pleased to support HP's effort to develop and market encryption products that encourage the use of key recovery in providing robust, secure encryption. This approval and our ongoing dialogue with the industry are consistent with the Clinton Administration's goal of allowing the market to develop recoverable encryption products."

Prologue 4/0 SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS --------------------------------------- A Nuclear Bullet, With *Everyone's* Name On It: [Your Name Here] Excerpt from an interview with Marilyn Manson on NPR: MM: A lot of the lies spread by Fundamentalist Christians about our tour were believed by people because they read them on the InterNet. The InterNet is the CB Radio of the 90's. People perceive it as a legitimate news source, which it's not. Eventually there will need to be some sort of laws or something... Top Ten Ways To Convince The Sheeple The Revolution Is NOW: 10,9,8,.7,6,5,4,3,2... 1. Put Marilyn Manson's name on the first bullet. "Give me nuclear freedom, or give me death." ~ Patrick Hussein The TRUTH About Area 51: It's a resort-spa for the reptilian Nazis who are shaping our present and our future, preparing to rule all of mankind when they emerge from the underground bunkers beneath Los Alamos, Livermore, Colorado Springs, Muleshoe, Texas, etc., at the end of the Milleniuum. Why can't you buy a straight 2"x4" anymore? The reptilian Nazis are keeping all of the good stuff for themselves. The reason for the tight security at Area 51 is not because of secret spy-planes and the like. The reptilian Nazi's don't want us to know that they are all driving '56 Chevy's. (Their original plan was to have earthlings all driving Edsels, but they tried to implement the plan before their mind-control experiments had proven successful.) Who It Is OK To Put A Fucking Bullet Through Their Head: Officially Recognized Bad Guys--For the Sheeple, this is Saddam Hussein, Timothy McVeigh, Dennis Rodman, paramilitarists, grandmothers who plug other people's parking meters, Branch Davidians (but it's a shame about the children), and The Subject Of A Ten-Second Sound-Byte To Be Named Later. For Republicans, this is welfare cheats, the homeless, tax cheats making less than $100,000 per year, liberals, Ralph Nadar, CypherPunks, Alt2600 avocados, the 4 Horsemen, and anyone who looks like me. For the Democrats, this is the non-avant-guarde wealthy,\j liberals consume, Rush Limbaugh, Republican presidents, rednecks, people who drink water straight out of the tap, and anyone who looks like me. For Kris Kristofferson, this is "People doing something dirty, decent folks can frown on..." "Sunshine is the best disinfectant." ~ Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928 "Bullet holes let the sun shine in." ~ Supreme Asshole TruthMonger, 1998 When Existence Is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Exist: The revolution is now. The only question that those who have the balls to participate in the inevitable chaos which will be needed to balance the Tao against the current onslaught of digitally structured reality that is being forced upon humanity by the new technology being promoted by the pawns of the reptilian Nazis whose headquarters is deep within the confines of the AdamAntarctic is: "Whose brain do I put my first bullet through?" For many, the answer will be, "TruthMonger!" Nobody likes to hear the truth, and the truth is: We all deserve to die. Not only that, but the extinction of humanity, according to our current values, epitomizes the crowning glory of our evolutionary path. What places us *above* the other primates and the other forms of life on our planet? What is it that makes us special, that deems us worthy of ruling over all other life forms on the planet Earth? It is our ability to control; our ability to master our environment and the objects and life-forms contained within its bounds. Ultimately, it is our ability to *kill* whatever stands in the way of the fulfillment of our desires and our goals. For all of our soul-searching, spiritual posturing, deep down inside we all know that we live in a predatorial universe. Republicans cry out for bigger guns to defend our way of life from everyone who fails to salute the flag. Democrats cry out for the press and political leaders to invent enemies to justify the liberals crying out for bigger guns to protect us from the 'bad guys.' And it's all bullshit... The reason we need to launch wars and destroy our environment is to keep the price of our refrigerators and our color TV's reasonable--to keep the price of the dollar high enough that we can feel good about ourselves for saving a starving child for less than ten cents a day, while ignoring the fact that an obese Sally Fields could save more starving children in a week than we possibly could in a lifetime, just by donating one of her lunches to the charity she is promoting. Think About This, You Stupid Fucking Bastards: Why do we need to allow our basic human rights and freedoms to be compromised?: In order for our hallowed leaders and our protectors in the law enforcement community to adequately protect us from the 'bad guys.' Why do we need to be protected from the 'bad guys'?: Because if they win out over the 'good guys', they will take away our basic human rights and freedoms. The Reason TruthMonger Will Die Broke And Alone: Because he invested all of his money in ClueServers, believing that the Sheeple might one day find them to be of value. "TV Is Real! (Just go back to sleep, dear.)"
