So a cryptosystem that's been in existence for an entire eleven days (you said it was created January 1, 1997) has had "sufficient" "analytical research invested"?

decryption
by Pierre van Rooyen 17 Dec '03

Will you please try to decrypt the following, I want to make sure it is not decryptable. Tips: - Only a..z and A..Z is changed - numbers,commas,spaces,ect. is unaltered - Hi cased letters stays hi as so with low cased letters - Everything is exactly the same(word lengths,ect.) only the letters of the text changed. - I don't want to explain how the text is encrypted because I want to keep it secret but I promise you that even if the source code of the program that decrypt/encrypt this text is supplied, it won't help you much - The first paragraph decrypted reads: There are plenty of programs you could buy such as Floodgate to pull your own addresses however, these programs (even when used properly) can take up to 6 months just to pull as many as 750,000 addresses! And after THAT time has elapsed you're database will have plenty of addresses that are undeliverable.

Menwith Hill / NSA
by Tobin Fricke 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

At DefCon III, someone had a video on these ladies ("granny hackers" was the comment from the audience) who explore[d] the Menwith Hill NSA base in the UK. The video was shown twice from what I remember, once in the main speaker room and once in the video room. If anyone knows anything about this video then please email me [tobin(a)mail.edm.net] especially if you know WHO had it, where I could get a copy, etc. Also, I'd like to hear about any other similar type things. (crypto, NSA, etc) Thanks, Light Ray

Such trash should be an indicator to you of your -real- position on censorship. It is said that a supporter is someone who will say anything. Perhaps this is your position on free speech...a mere supporter? I invite your response to this question. > If you have something to say that is of interest, maybe you may gain some > credibility. As it is, I won't be holding my breath, waiting for such a > reversal of form. The interest you seek is most probably only words of support for your position. Aiming at truth is always discouraged from those who do not know how to seek it. If you truly had any real interest in the anti-censorship position, you would watch your reactions to words which you yourself dislike, and attempt to understand what it feels like to want words removed from your reading selection by some other party. In this way, you would understand the pro-censorship position and therefore be in possession of enough real data to make a real decision as to which side you are on, if any. > Flames welcomed, from such fools as you obviously are. No flames from me are appropriate at this time...but...when *I* flame you, you will know you have been flamed.

As a Freedom Knight, it is my opinion that the appropriate demonstration for Freedom Knights is to ignore this junk email. This appears to be proceeding quite well, if a minor annoyance to some. However, I cannot in good conscience personally accept a "J'accuse" cypherpunks of forging Usenet posts to freedom knights. Since we have no proof of this action, it is my opinion that we must adhere to "innocent until proven guilty". I would like everyone to understand that this accusation is not shared (nor even considered until seeing the above quote) by myself, nor should it be shared by anyone who is or who calls themself a "Freedom Knight". Honor before blind support, Observation before belief, Truth before justice. Those who understand these principles will not be harmed by the net. ------ Dave Hayes - Altadena CA, USA - dave(a)jetcafe.org Freedom Knight of Usenet - http://www.jetcafe.org/~dave/usenet What we see depends on mainly what we look for.
