From: Curtis D. Frye Attempted translation: Morality is both individual and situational, and must not be externally imposed as the imposition would violate individual sovereignty. Thanks, Curtis. For some reason, I kept reading the first sentence as: "Morality is the ablility to differentiate between right and wrong, without detonation." Which, I guess, would be another good translation.

REMAIL: pseudo-account remailer @andrew gains anonymous feature
by Matthew J Ghio 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I added an anonymous feature to my remailer. If you have an address of the form mg5n+eaxxx(a)andrew.cmu.edu, anonymous mail can be sent to that address by changing it to the format: mg5n+anxxx(a)andrew.cmu.edu An encrypted reply address is created for the sender of the anonymous message. You can get an anonymous address by sending mail to mg5n+getid(a)andrew.cmu.edu P.S. For what it's worth, the address mg5n+anz3ajg8o1yxicqzt6v6qgpg3tkhddpqw3jl(a)andrew.cmu.edu will forward anonymously to cypherpunks(a)toad.com. If your mail software supports mail aliases, a mail alias to that address might be an easy way to post anon to the list (and get replies ;-) As before, anyone who wants the source is welcome to it, however there is nil documentation, and some of my recent hacks to it have increased the code sloppiness factor by several orders of magnitude. It does now support 3DES encryption, much thanks to Phil Karn and Jim Gillogly's PD code.

Re: NSA Security Manual
by Black Unicorn 17 Dec '03

Mr. Toal said : What I found interesting was that it was published in Phrack about a week ago, and nothing happened, but when Grady reposted it, suddenly phone-calls come aflying. Either this means that the NSA read Grady's posts more diligently than everyone else's, or Grady went out of his way to tell them that he'd posted it, which wouldn't surprise me... G <- This is partly up to Grady to verify, but I suspect the answer lies in the different frequency and lag time between examination of the net and examination of Phrack. Grady's probably just got noticed first.

NSA manual.
by Black Unicorn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Grady says: Actually I speculate that someone who saw my reposting helpfully phoned the NSA about the security breach. But SDO10 didn't give me that information... Grady <- Sorry for the bandwidth, this sounds more reasonable than any active scanning. -uni- (Dark)

NSA Manual and Media

Well Sports Fans, I just mailed the NSA manual to every media source with an email adress listed in Adam's _Big_Dummies_Guide_ - It took 6 aliases to get them all. Scuuuze me! I'm headed back to the Buckhorn Bar and all those drunk undergraduate fillies. This will do for a nights work >;) -- PGP PUBLIC KEY via finger!

Shot 'Round the World
by Jeff Davis 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Well, my personal secretary compiled every single media email adress in the _Big_Dummies_Guide_ into 6 alias'. Then I emailed it to every one of them. If the FBI comes to the front door, this piece of shit XT clone I use for a UNIX terminal goes out the back door and off the sun deck into the alley. I suppose the fucking phone will ring off the hook in Ft. Meade for a while. By God! It's a good day for the Revolution!!! *** Here's the follow up *** To whom it may concern, You have been emailed an authentic National Security Agency Employee's Manual. I as an Electronic Frontier Foundation member, acting purely on my own initiative, and solely accountable for my actions, have emailed this information, as well as John Gilmore's FOIA attack on the current Clipper Chip proposal for key escrowed encryption, to every media source with an email adress listed in EFF's _Big_Dummies_Guide_to_the_Internet_ on the entire planet. You may authenicate the NSA manual via confirmation by the phone numbers listed in it. Consider this the shot heard round the world in the Electronic Revolution.

Nsa Manual distribution

I personally would counsel people to be quite cautious about distributing the document in question actively. There is a case to be made if you know the material is restricted and you send it out anyhow. I don't think this applies to Grady, who seems to have forwarded the material as a "is this real" project. Now that he has indicated the material is of some interest to NSA, anyone sending the document back and forth should really be cautious. For the less paranoid: Most of the information in the document, as I indicated before, is not damning by itself. It is the distribution that is offensive to the powers that be. The question is how obnoxious and picky the enforcement side wants to be and what the background of the leak is. If this is material put out by someone who might otherwise be in trouble it might get nasty out there. I don't think I'd want it on my ftp site, let me put it that way. The FOIA exemption for administrative materials is what worries me most. -uni- (Dark)
