Forget Direct Mail... Electronic Marketing is the Way of the Future In order to sell your products, they have to advertised. ... And in order for you to buy them, they have to be advertised. You always need customers. What better way to find customers that you need? Through emailing. What faster way to send Ads, Letters and Flyers to millions of people? Through emailing. Why spend up to 32 cents per envelope you mail (not including printing costs) when you can mail to virtually the same people for FREE? Think about it, to mail 1000 envelopes or postcards it would cost around $320. And that's after you have bought the mailing list which can run about $300 for a good one. Best of all, you don't have to wait 6 to 7 days for your response - you will get it that very day. In fact, check your email right after mailing 500 and there will more than likely be at least 2 to 5 responses waiting for you already! Best of all each one of these commercial mailings will cost you ABSOLUTELY NOTING. You can send ONE HUNDRED or ONE MILLION, the cost is the same - FREE. The one thing we discovered was that finding enough email addresses to send your offer to can be a real headache, and VERY TIME CONSUMING !!! Well, we take the pain out of collecting email addresses!

NSA Elint Memoir
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

One of the earliest reports on NSA's global electronic interception program appeared in Ramparts magazine in 1972, which published a lengthy interview with a young former NSA analyst, "U.S. Electronic Espionage: A Memoir": http://jya.com/nsa-elint.htm (84K) James Bamford, Duncan Campbell, Nicky Hager and others have since confirmed what the analyst revealed then and greatly extended what was at the time doubted as a young man's anti-war exaggeration. NSA, according to Bamford, decided to not prosecute in the hope that no one would believe such astonishing claims of electronic violation of friends and foes. See The Puzzle Palace, p. 334 (paper editon). Bamford says Perry Fellwock was the name of the anonymous analyst, first called Winslow Peck, a pseudonym. Would anyone happen to know where Fellwock is these days? That's on the assumption that Fellwock is not a deeper pseudo than Peck. What knocked me over was Fellwock saying that the location of the NSA training school was at Goodfellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, Texas, from whence this counterspy originates. We were told the base was mothballed, kept pickled only for local pork. No doubt, NSA was never there, and "Fellwock" was just continuing to do his disinfo job via Ramparts.

announce: WEAK S/MIME support for netscape messenger
by Anonymous Sender 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello all, here's a new weaken patch, this time for netscape's mail client with S/MIME support. when you send an encrypted email, it is first encrypted with a secret key. the secret key is then encrypted with the recipient's public key. this patch will modify netscape's mail client so that whenever it generates a new key, it generates an all 0x72s key. i hope i'll find time to release an S/MIME encrypted message parser... so that anyone can verify the info. the magic sequence : look for : 51 6a 00 e8 86 27 00 00 83 c4 0c 8b f8 and change with 6a 72 51 e8 b5 98 94 77 83 c4 0c 33 ff by just changing 9 bytes, you can read all the encrypted emails ! like the previous sequence, this substitues a call to GenerateRandom to a memset of course it may be possible to do something more clever, like hashing a 16 bits random key to produce a 128 bit one ! my ex-boss is already doing that. here's how to know if the weaken sequence works on your browser: use the md5 in fortify distrib md5 -r 0x400-0x32ca00,0x384a00:0x58400 ...\program\netscape.exe that should produce aea2aba6f731468e34fd1141f603ea20 the md5 for the whole program (netscape.exe) is : 294dfe9a5e941d12b04e10adafb0c769 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: cp850 iQCVAwUBNTKmWpVRLpSyKBl9AQGVAgP+Opot5VnJOouhwcS58JIdur1Q+xd2twWR /1q0SlpfsaTi99YIgFBrDpoVhqrW+wQWJmFmGppR5wZtyMNbSm3GPaRm0m9wAOiK vXsxS9VapEgjVh50caeTEh7e6GEwNBhNEENKbt1WvGWTrnh7K8dqiC3Pla7kmG3Q syimJN1toCs= =GIYU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.3i mQCNAzUuVR4AAAEEALkjQwGKIsBT16nqJbZsWiPOH6gfRkzFav0RmWgjBu/bjDKe PmC2aGoQV2FXFYGGnX0bHyBz8Qjewdb7aDg/MQsAXjxsSZvqxNEkXGa6bH4U/Fe8 32WBddLrScc6vikaPv0o3D8bgzr+qQM0s9FSP4n5Jb+N/y2YjJVRLpSyKBl9AAUR tAVtYXJrb4kAlQMFEDUuVR6VUS6UsigZfQEBI9AD/RM6l/Gmw3+IPNQ1fRSFAME3 ZLoWUC6mAW5kUP0IaOFD/tXGXT+ekehcFojHpk9/QIO1mVpxr3bp97/ETZb1ZJiS EHTEjAP/85gja/YlRubfihUUb5/MoIz94a+MWsoDB0qLDJbQ48vyNsftNDrolUFf KUdCME7v3al/m6c0wufP =Bnx/ -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

JY is referring to: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/technology/wired/story.html?s=z/reuters /980413/wired/stories/security_4.html Monday April 13 3:11 PM EDT Experts crack digital cell-phone security system By Annaliza Savage SAN FRANCISCO (Wired) - A group of California-based computer experts claims to have cracked the cryptographic security behind the world's most popular digital cell-phone system, making it possible to clone any phone using the GSM standard. The Smartcard Developer Association (http://www.scard.org) says it found the algorithm used as the basis for the Group Special Mobile (GSM) -- a digital cellular phone system that is used in about 80 million cell phones, primarily in Europe and Asia. Many U.S. networks are starting to implement GSM standards, too, and this attack was launched against a card issued by Pacific Bell. If the group's claims are true, it could lead to a recall or reissue of the smart cards used in GSM-based phones. "GSM is likely to face fraud problems of the same magnitude as analog systems have had," said Marc Briceno, a member of the SDA who said that analog systems have lost billions of dollars because of cellular phone cloning. GSM-based cell phones work with a small card containing an electronic chip called a Subscriber Identity Module card. The SIM card inserts into the back of the cellular phone and contains information that is used to identify subscribers and their account information to the GSM network. The SIM card must be inserted into a GSM Mobile handset to obtain access to the network, and one of the primary benefits of the technology is that cell phones have access to GSM networks worldwide. However, to clone a SIM card, a would-be cracker would have to have physical possession of one. Unlike the cloning used in analog systems, the crack does not yet include being able to listen in on phone calls or obtain a SIM ID via the airwaves, although the SDA has stated that an "over-the-air attack should not be ruled out." The SIM uses encryption to keep the identity of the phone secret, and the encryption algorithm used on most of the GSM network is called COMP128. The SDA was able to obtain the secret ciphers used by the GSM network. After verifying authenticity, the group turned them over to U.C. Berkeley researchers David Wagner and Ian Goldberg, who were able to crack the COMP128 algorithm within a day. In 1995, Wagner and Goldberg succeeded in another high-profile hack when they compromised the crypto code used in Netscape's Navigator browser, which was supposed to secure credit-card transactions. "Within hours they discovered a fatal flaw," said Briceno. "The attack that we have done is based on sending a large number of challenges to the authorization module in the phone. The key can be deduced and recovered in about 10 hours." A group of hackers gathered with security and crypto experts Friday evening at a San Francisco hacker club called New Hack City, for a demonstration of the hack, but it never came off. Eric Hughes, a member of the SDA and founder of the Cypherpunks cryptography group, discussed the technical aspects of the hack, but had to give up the planned demonstration after threats of legal action from Pac Bell and other telephone company executives. It is illegal in the United States to possess cellular phone cloning equipment, although legitimate businesses are exempted. The telephone companies dispute SDA's claims to legitimacy. Wagner blames the ease of the crack on the secrecy with which the ciphers were kept. "There is no way that we would have been able to break the cryptography so quickly if the design had been subjected to public scrutiny," said Wagner. The GSM standard was developed and designed by the European Telecommunications Standard Institute, an organization that has about 500 members from 33 countries, representing administrations, network operators, manufacturers, service providers, and users. "There's going to be an orgy of finger pointing," said Hughes, referring to all the engineers and other people associated with the design of the GSM network. The SDA say that they were able to crack the GSM network algorithm due to weak encryption in the original design. When the system was being designed, several European government agencies were successful in their demands to weaken encryption standards for government surveillance purposes. The SDA also claimed that the GSM security cipher that keeps eavesdroppers from listening to a conversation called A5 was also made deliberately weaker. The A5 cipher uses a 64-bit key, but only 54 of the bits are actually in use -- 10 of the bits have been replaced with zeroes. The SDA's Briceno blames government interference. "The only party who has an interest in weakening voice privacy is the National Security Agency," he said. The SDA said that a proper demo will be taking place soon from somewhere outside the United States. The group has also released the source code for COMP128 and A5 for further testing (Reuters/Wired) ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu Why is the CIA so full of spies?

Please Help!
by C.J. Parker 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Poor little C.J. Parker will go to bed 'legal' tonight, unless some kind soul has spare Canadian WebSpace that they can bum him, in order to violate portions of the Canada Criminal Code by indulging in a pathetic, whining diatribe of self-hate and victimization. Surely there is some kind multiple-felon who is willing to give up a small portion of their own future court time in order to help a less fortunate individual with only a meager supply of pending criminal charges to sleep soundly tonight, knowing that he will not have to face the pain and humiliation that comes from being a decent, law- abiding Canadian CypherPunk. THE OFFICIAL C.J. PARKER HATE PAGE ------------------------------------------------ "His bad self-image and low self-esteem, and the knowledge that he had come by them honestly..." ~Excert from 'Space Aliens Hide My Drugs' KUDOS OF THE WEEK go to Revenue Canada Customs and Excise Thug, Bill Mitschill, who legally stole the tools of freedom used by C.J. Parker to Author chapters of a manuscript designed to kick down the doors of perception and lead to the violent overthrow of Perceived MeatSpace Reality (TM). Parker, unknown as the Author of socially deviant UCE/SPAMs such as "How To Make BIG $$$ Sitting At Home, Licking Your Own Dick!," was given a stiff dose of reality by Offal Sir MitSchill and his partner, who put on a blatant show of government disregard for the Legal and Charter Rights of its PawnIzens by not even bothering to tell Good Lies (TM) while widening Parker's asshole in preparation for the beginning of the RCMP Special Greco-Olympic Games. Congrats, Bill. A hundred points for stealing Parker's computer, and five hundred points for gathering photocopied evidence linking Parker to the biological warfare terrorists who rebelled against the King's Revenue agents by dumping terroroist tea into Boston Harbor, and then assaulted and murdered members of the King's LEAs during the lawful performance of their duties, while following proper Royalist procedure. This is a good time to remind Parker Haters (TM) across North America that, despite our long history of applying strong negative labels to him for deviating from the Norm (TM) (and even stronger electroshocks to his brain), that current social and legal trends give us plenty of leeway to ignore his Legal and Charter Rights when sticking a cold, hard one up his butt to hammer him into line with the other NailIzens. The RCMP officers of the Wild, Wild Nor'West continue to lead the way in keeping social deviants constantly on the run, no matter how far from MeatSpace they run to try to escape. You will undoubtedly remember last year's article about members of the Yorkton RCMP who planted drugs in a sting operation designed to set a transient felon visiting C.J. Parker, and then decided that Parker's unconventional lifestyle made him a perfect dupe for prosecution, when it turned out that duuhhh Mountie's ignorance of the laws they are paid to enforce precluded prosecuting the original target of their illegal sting operation. Well, Parker Haters (TM) can rest assured that C.J. Parker (aka - Toto, TruthMonger #0, #1, #709) is currently having his ass kicked back, from his mind's hiding space deep within the bowels of InterNet Free Terra, to the boundaries of MeatSpace, within which his imprisoned ass and mind can only gaze wistfully at those still living freely on the far side of the ElectroMagnetic Curtain which was slammed down around his Illegal Mind (TM) by the confiscation of his computer and the Digital Murder of his Sympatico WebSite. The Regina (can I *say* that on the InterNet?) RCMP are to be applauded for their arrogant, oppressive reminder to Parker that their willingness to lie on the witness stand, threated defense witnesses and run them out of town, as well as pile mountains of bogus charges on his head, mean that Parker's sorry ass is grass, unless he defers to the wishes of the Mounties defending the home of the AssMan, and sits his mind down in society's chair, straightens up his mind, and quits mentally fidgetting. Today's Humor: "First He came for Adam and Eve, but there were not yet any other humans on the earth, so there was nobody to speak up. "Then They came for Jane and Joe Sheeple, but they were too busy focusing on the meager piles of hay used to lure them into the feeding pen to notice the SlaughterHaus next door, so nobody bleated. "Then They came for the TruthMongers, and I was a TruthMonger, so I began eating an *enormous* amount of beans..." ~Constable TruthMonger (BigLoser Inside) (c) 1998, C.J. PARKER ("Hating myself since 1949")
