Cryptobook: '98 update
by andrew fabbro 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Joel McNamara (author Private Idaho) has updated his Cryptobook page, which now has information on newer software. The configuration works much better under Windows 95 now. Check out: http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/cryptbk.html I have a text file full of notes comparing different hard drive encryption software, if anyone would like a copy. I settled on Best Crypt, which uses BLOWFISH (or GOST, or DES if you're insane). So far it works well...except I haven't found a way to have Windows' swap file encrypted. Have fun... -- Andrew Fabbro [afabbro(a)umich.edu] [andrewf(a)jesuswept.com] http://www-personal.umich.edu/~afabbro/ 313.647.2713

New Customers for your Neighborhood Business, Church, Practice...
by 10510344＠30330.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

You know that new customers are the lifeblood of any local business; and WE CAN HELP YOU FIND MORE! That's because we know WHO'S NEW - those who recently came to live in your market or service area. We can tell you each month who and where they are, so that you can advertise to them (eg by mail) before they have time to get established with your rivals. Whether you own or manage a retail store, a clinic (medical, dental, veterinary...), a church, club, a private school, beauty salon, restaurant, professional office or bank - this is a prime opportunity to gain MORE new clients and so to increase growth. What we can help you do is MORE THAN to replace customers who move away; to get more than your "share" of new arrivals to Town, by putting YOUR name and special offer before them at the very time they are making decisions about whom to patronize. If you don't own or manage such an establishment, please pass this along to a friend who does. But if you do, find out more details now from our Web site, which you can reach at http://www.famailcrt.com/c-am.com Sincerely, Jim Davies

The Bioweaponeers
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New Yorker magazine of March 9 has a long shattering essay on Ken Alibek, the former Soviet bioweapons expert, William Patrick, the US's counterpart, the state of Russian secret bioweapons development, and prospects for the spread and use of this WMD. It's far more disturbingly detailed than the New York Times and ABC PrimeTime reports, and presents a horrific spectrum of gruesome details of nearly unimaginable catastrophe fermenting in secret laboratories and deepest black storage tanks. If you thought nuclear weapons were terrifying, read this for a shocking introduction to evil which will give even thermonuclear warriors nightmares of helplessness. Where Strangelovian physicists once ruled, now reign Mad microbiologists. Richard Preston is the writer, featured on PrimeTime and author of The Hot Zone, on the Ebola virus. For those without easy access to the magazine we offer a copy: http://jya.com/bioweap.htm (62K)

Newbie pgp question
by Mike 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi guys, I've got a question - may be it is FAQ, the please point me. I need - well, it sounds funny - to crack PGP-encrypted text ;) I have secring.pgp but not the keyphrase - does it make things easier or not? I also have pgpcrack99.zip (DOS-version, zip means that I unzipped it for the 1st time :) But I guess it will take megahours with big dictionary - and it will cover only single words, not sentences. Please, can somebody introduce me a little? TIA PS. I also know few words in that file, may be even phrases. -- ******************************************* Mike Blazer blazer(a)mail.nevalink.ru *******************************************
