PINESIGN 2.2 (re: PGP for Pine)
by Robert A. Hayden 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've been out of town this week, so I coulsn't respond in a timely manner (and I returned to 500+ pieces of cypherpunks email :-) I'm appending a copy of PineSign 2.2, ehich is the most recent version of the PineSign program. It doesn't do any encryption, it simple allows for easy signing of messages composed with pine (and maybe other mailers as well). If you want to encrypt and such, I'd recommend mkpgp if you can find it or perhaps autopgp does it (not sure). I also have a version of a similiar program for Tin available on my home page, or I can post it if there is interest. ===== #!/bin/sh # PINESIGN v2.2 # Written by: Robert A. Hayden <hayden(a)krypton.mankato.msus.edu> # PINESIGN is a simple program that will allow you to automatically sign # your email and news messages composed with the Pine 3.91 mail reader. It # may also work with other mail and news programs, but it has not been # tested. # INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFIGURING PINE # # You need to define the following options in Pine. This can be done # either via the SETUP options in the main menu of Pine, or via editing # the .pinerc. # # A) signature-file=" " (an empty space) # B) enable-alternate-editor-cmd # C) enable-alternate-editor-implicitly (optional but recommended) # D) signature-at-bottom # E) editor=<exact path to this script> # INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFIGURING PINESIGN # # The PGP program must be in your path, and the PGPPATH environment # variable must be defined. See the PGP documentation for details. # # Double check that the first line of this program points to sh. # # In addition to PGP and the editor you define, PineSign also will use the # following programs: # cat # clear # echo # mv # # Execute the command "chmod 700 <path/to/tinsign>" # # Edit the SIGPATH and PINEEDITOR variables to point at your signature # (if any) and the editor you wish to use for your Pine mail. Default # signature will be the file .signature-pine in your $HOME directory. # Default editor is pico -z -t. # # Define SIGPATH=/dev/null if you do not have an ASCII signature to # append. SIGPATH=$HOME/.signature-pine PINEEDITOR='pico -z -t' # Next, define the ECHOTYPE variable. Some systems do not allow the use # of the echo -n command. If your system doesn't like echo -n, uncomment # the plain echo variable and comment out (put a "#" in front of it) the # echo -n commant. ECHOTYPE='echo -n' #ECHOTYPE='echo' # INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PINESIGN # # When you compose a message, you will compose your message as normal. # # When you exit your editor (control-X in Pico), you will receive a prompt # asking if you wish to add your signature file to the message. If you # respond with y, Y or just press return, your text signature file will # be appended to your message. If you type anything else, your message # will not have your signature added. # # Next, you will be prompted as to whether you wish to PGP sign your # message. If you answer with y, Y or return, you will be prompted for your # PGP passphrase and then dumped back to the address/subject section of # Pine. If you type anything else, your message will not be signed. # # If you selected it to be added, your signature file will be appended # AFTER your digital signature. # # If you have not defined your alternate editor to be run implicitly, you # will need to start it manually. If you do not run the alternate editor, # your signature file will not be appended and you will also have to do # that manually. It is highly recommended that your define your alternate # editor to run implicitly. ### DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ### $PINEEDITOR $1 clear $ECHOTYPE "Would you like to add your ASCII signature to this message?

Auto-PGP for OS/2
by dan＠milliways.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A few weeks ago, someone anonymously posted a uuencoded version of an add-on to the OS/2 System Editor that claimed to automatically use PGP to encrypt and/or sign ASCII documents. However, when I uudecoded it with several different versions of uudecode, all I got was garbage. I sent mail to the poster's anon.penet.fi address, but didn't get a response. Did anyone manage to get a clean file or know where I can FTP it? Thanks.

Forced Censorship vs. Fucking Your Brains Out

I would locate books in a way such that the children would be exposed to a variety of materials, instead of herded into playpens according to age and size. Also, in areas where children are allowed in bars if they serve food, or until a certain time of night, the atmosphere tends to be raised above just being a place for the parents to drink and get drunk. A 14 year-old guitar player named Little Charlie used to play with me at the Austex Lounge in Austin, and the liquor laws required him to leave the bar when the band was not onstage. He spent the breaks out in the parking lot, smoking dope and screwing his brains out with the young groupies. (My liver is gone, and his dick fell off. Thanks to the law, I won.) > So presumably you wouldn't complain about some technical means of > creating an analog in cyberspace? > If so, then voluntary labelling is not so bad. I think that a library-type cataloguing system adapted to the unique form of the InterNet and WWW could be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I would love not to have to visit 400 sites to find "hardware" plumbing instead of "women's" plumbing (and vice-versa). Likewise, I would rather not waste the bandwidth of myself and others when they visit my site in error, thinking "arson" has to with fires, and not with sex. The problem is that the words "voluntary" and "requirement" have, through some weird mutation of DoubleSpeak, become synonyms. Hardly anybody even tries to pretend, anymore, that they are not planning to trample the constitution and fry anyone that gets in their way when the ElectroMagnetic Curtain clangs shut. Even the Nazi's, in the early days, made some pretense of humanity when shipping fellow humans to the death camps. "Jaccuzzi? No, I don't thinks so, sir, but I'm certain there are plans for one. Now, climb aboard, please." Eventually, the reign of terror reached the point where it was all clubs and guns, with no need for pretense of humanity. When the gun-thievery began in earnest, the thieves still had to lie in bigger and bigger stages, tearing small, then larger, pieces off the Constitution at each step of their con game. With privacy and freedom, however, we have now reached a stage where the pretense of democracy is perfunctory, with the fascists who are rattling the chains standing on the stage behind the speaker as he or she assures us that "imprisonment for life will be a _voluntary_ requirement." The person I really feel bad for is Tim May. He used to at least be able to tell people, "I told you so! Check the archives from my previous life, and..." Prophecy loses its luster once _everybody_ can predict the future, and things have reached the point where everyone recognizes their cues in the march toward the "Tear-Stained Monologue" where, in an allegorical way, "The good-guy gets the girl. _I_ wind up dead." Face it, we all know where the cattle-cars are going, but they are carrying _other_ people--for now. Child molesters, drug dealers, and similar robbing, raping, low-down vermin who shouldn't have any rights, anyway. Oh, and a lady who put a quarter in a stranger's parking meter. And a 16 year old kid who shared a joint with a 15 3/4 year old friend. And a guy who pulled a stink-bomb prank on a government office. Oh yes, and an employee at Livermore Labs who pledged allegiance to the flag every day of his life, escrowed his crypto keys with the government even before it was required by law to do so, but forgot about the PGP 2.1 key on the floppy he's been using to shim up the short-leg of the couch on the front porch for the last few years. What are the major players in the computer and media industries planning in their secret meetings about the best way to require you and I to "volunteer?" They are planning to collectively "take one step back," leaving us ("voluntarily") standing in the line of fire. When the call to assembly comes, I plan on being the first one to line up. I think I'll position the line "one step ahead" of the land mines I plant the night before. TruthMonger

John Walker releases encrypting Speak Freely/Netfone
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

[John lives in Switzerland and renounced his US citizenship, so there's no export issue...] Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 07:14:10 -0400 Forwarded-by: farber(a)central.cis.upenn.edu (David Farber) From: John Walker <kelvin(a)fourmilab.ch> Subject: Free secure Internet voice communication I've just released to the public domain Release 5 of Speak Freely for Windows and its Unix counterpart, Netfone for Sun and Silicon Graphics workstations. Assuming you have a fast enough connection to the Internet (with reasonably consistent packet delivery time) and/or a fast enough CPU to perform audio compression in real time, you can talk to anybody on Earth connected to the Internet who's also running the program. The Windows and Unix versions have entirely different user interfaces, but can intercommunicate. Complete source code is available. For communications security, IDEA, DES (less initial and final permutations), and one-time pad (re-used for each sound packet) encryption are available. The intensely paranoid can enable any combination of these. The documentation explains how to use PGP to securely exchange session keys before a conversation; an automatic session key generator is provided. DES is included for commercial users who don't have a license to use the IDEA patent. One-time pad encryption is for those with machines too slow to run IDEA or DES in real time. I didn't include a public key mechanism because I wanted to avoid all the confusion. If somebody wants to navigate the narrow strait between the RSA patent Scylla and Charybdis of export controls, the programming work to implement public keys is straightforward and the source code is yours to hack. For further information, see: http://www.fourmilab.ch/netfone/windows/speak_freely.html which describes the Windows version in detail and contains pointers to the Sun and SGI editions, as well as links to download source code and a ready-to-run executable for Windows. You can also obtain the program by anonymous binary FTP: Unix source code: ftp://ftp.fourmilab.ch/pub/kelvin/netfone/netfone5.tar.gz Windows executable: ftp://ftp.fourmilab.ch/pub/kelvin/netfone/windows/speakfb.zip Windows source code (for Visual C 1.5): ftp://ftp.fourmilab.ch/pub/kelvin/netfone/windows/speakfs.zip The Sun and SGI versions of this program are quite stable, and should work for just about anybody with an adequate network connection. Porting the code to other Unix workstations with audio hardware should be relatively straightforward. The Windows version has just been finished and until it's shaken down on a variety of machines, networks, sound cards, etc. may not work for everybody. The Windows version requires a sound card with Windows Multimedia drivers (I've tested it on a variety of Sound Blasters of various generations) and a TCP/IP stack that supports WINSOCK (I'm using NetManage Chameleon NFS). Since multimedia and network hardware and drivers vary tremendously from machine to machine, I wouldn't be surprised if some tweaking were needed for various configurations. The CPU speed required interacts with the speed of your network connection; if you have a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet, or you're talking to another person on a high-speed LAN, there's no need to compress sound and the CPU load is minimal; just about any machine will do. If you need to compress in order to squeeze 8000 samples per second into a dial-up connection, then you need a CPU fast enough to run GSM compression in real time: basically we're talking a very fast 486 or Pentium. If you turn on IDEA and/or DES encryption, that also consumes CPU time. Based on my experience with other Windows programs, it will probably take months to track down misbehaviour due to strange hardware and software configurations. Complete, detailed bug reports are welcome. I may not be able to respond individually, but the Web page will track updates as they're released. I have tested the program only on vanilla 16 bit Windows 3.1. The Windows version contains preliminary code to support direct dial-up modem connections, acting as a phone scrambler. Serial port support in most Windows machines is so poor (unless you have a 16550A UART and appropriate drivers, which most people don't) that this feature isn't usable at present. I've left the code in just in case somebody with suitable hardware wants to bash it into working form. If you add features, port the program to 32 bits, fix bugs, etc., let me know so I can make your contributions generally available. -------------------- <http://www.fourmilab.ch/> ------------------- John Walker | A sufficiently advanced Internet: kelvin(a)fourmilab.ch | technology is indistinguishable | from a rigged demo.
