RE: The Continued Attack on Cash (Was: "The Right of Anonymity"...)
by James O'Toole 17 Dec '03

Tim, Maintaining anonymity in the face of the regulatory framework is certain to be difficult, and anything difficult is usually rare, expensive, or both. An interesting question about the Privacy Card product is whether the social pressure against it is strong enough to defeat its privacy whenever the product is well advertised. In other words, will a privacy product survive in spite of its own publicity in our current environment, or can privacy products only exist when their own existence is relatively unknown. This is interesting because in the latter case, we have only a very very weak form of privacy/anonymity because it is hard to be sure how much privacy backs a product whose very existence is semi-secret. Maybe we should consider putting up, and encouraging existing privacy-enhanced institutions to put up, challenge prizes based on privacy/anonymity preservation. Just as we've seen prizes set for the cracking of specific composites and encrypted messages, we could ask Credit Suisse to put $1M in an escrow account at their main branch (Zurich?). This escrow account would be a numbered account held by a trustee selected by the bank. Let's say they wire $1000 per week to RSA Data Security in California, or to EFF.ORG, or to me, for that matter, and I wire it back. I publish the full text of any documentation I can get from my bank account (an empty account I would maintain for this anonymity challenge). Credit Suisse would promise to release the contents of the account to the first person to arrive at their main branch and present the name of the trustee. That's not a very creative challenge...this could use more thought. The point is that as far as I know, we haven't yet seen any really solid rewards placed to validate, advertise, or demonstrate the weakness of, well-known privacy-enhanced financial systems. I don't even know that Digicash, which would be another logical sponsor, has put up such a challenge. Have they? --Jim ---------- From: Tim May[SMTP:tcmay@got.net] Sent: Monday, February 02, 1998 1:18 PM To: Black Unicorn Cc: rotenberg(a)epic.org; nym(a)vorlon.mit.edu; dcsb(a)ai.mit.edu; cypherpunks(a)Algebra.COM Subject: Re: The Continued Attack on Cash (Was: "The Right of Anonymity"...)

The large sign on the wall indicated the substance of .... It's worth noting (again) that a very simple technological/social solution to the "credit card companies have records on people" problem, the one often cited by "privacy law advocates" as the reason for a Data Privacy Act, is easily found. Namely, remove any impediments to the issuance of credit or debit cards unlinkable to the True Name of a user. A card issuer could feature this as a Privacy Card, either backed by transfers of backing capital to accounts, or using Chaum-style methods. This is fully feasible using Chaumian credential-revealing mechanisms. (Cf. Chaum's seminal "Transaction Systems to Make Big Brother Obsolete," in Communications of the ACM, November 1985. Updated a few times and available in reprints or other places. Try search engines for latest locations.) However, the trends are in just the opposite direction, as both Black Unicorn and Bill Stewart have noted in this thread. Between the War on Drugs, the laws about money laundering, the fears of tax evasion, and the general burrowcrat desire to record the movements and actions of citizen-units, such a Privacy Card would be frowned-upon. Various roadblocks, ranging from "know your customer" restrictions on banks to anti-money-laundering laws, would be thrown up to stop any such Privacy Card. The real solution is easy. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Hacker group battles child porn [c|net News, 2/2/98]

Hacker group battles child porn C|NET News.Com News Story: http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,18717,00.html?st.cn.fd.tkr.news CNET Radio Interview: http://www.news.com/Radio/Index/0,55,,00.html?st.cn.fd.tb.ne By Courtney Macavinta February 2, 1998, 1:10 p.m. PT A secret society that hunts the Net to reveal the identities of alleged pedophiles and child pornographers has a message for those who think there's too much media hype about the problem: Believe what you hear. Members of a group called Ethical Hackers Against Pedophilia (EHAP - http://www.hackers.com/ehap/index2.htm) are using their high-tech cracking talents to find out the identity and physical location of people they say post child pornography within newsgroups, chat rooms, and Websites. The 17-member nonprofit group also says it tries to determine the sources of video streaming sites that feature children being sexually assaulted in real time. "The pedophiles that are distributing child pornography online are skirting the law by remaining anonymous. We decided to use the skills that we possess as hackers, engineers, and teachers to educate the public that hackers aren't all bad guys, and to help law enforcement in apprehending the child pornographers," said EHAP's secretary, "Oracle," who asked that his real name not be published. "As long as the people are arrested and the kids aren't hurt anymore, every one of us is willing to accept responsibility for our actions as long as one kid is helped," he added. EHAP may go so far as to dig up the Social Security numbers of people it suspects are producing and distributing child porn on the Net. Under the guise of a confidential informant, EHAP then passes on these details to various law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI. It's virtually impossible to know if EHAP's tips have led to any investigations or arrests, though the group says its information has been put to work. Still, its vigilante tactics raise privacy concerns, as well as serious questions about law enforcement's possible use of information that could have been obtained illegally. According to the FBI, the Net increasingly is being used to lure children to physical meetings, which could lead to abduction or abuse, and there has been a boom in child pornography being trafficked online. These acts violate federal law. During two congressional hearings last year, FBI officials told lawmakers they are working to stop the rise in these illegal acts through the bureau's Crimes Against Children initiative. "The FBI has investigated more than 70 cases involving pedophiles traveling to meet undercover agents or officers posing as juveniles for the purpose of engaging in an illicit sexual relationship," Stephen Wiley, chief of the FBI's violent crime and major offenders section, testified in November before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime. The FBI has launched other special programs, such as Innocent Images, in which agents go online and portray themselves as children and crack down on those who solicit encounters with them. The program, which is run by the Baltimore, Maryland, FBI field office, also serves as a clearinghouse for tips and information regarding suspected online crimes against children. The program was started in 1994 after local agents uncovered an online child porn ring while searching for an abducted boy. The 13-year-old boy, George Burdynski of Prince Georges County, Maryland, has never been found. But the program has lead to more than 90 arrests as well as the development of online crime fighting techniques. For instance, in October, three Californians were collectively sentenced to 60 years in prison for running the so-called Orchid Club, an international service that used the Net to distribute child pornography to its members. Despite growing efforts by the FBI and organizations such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, EHAP says its private campaign is vital, as these agencies don't have the full-time resources to combat online child pornography. EHAP also readily admits that it would be unconstitutional for law enforcement to use some of its methods. "We're extremely careful about who we hack. There are so many people trading child porn out there, but we go after the people who are producing the material. That's who we hunt," Oracle said. "Law enforcement are restricted in ways we're not--but I'm not saying that we break the law." EHAP is not the first group to use its own devices in an effort to assist law enforcement in tracking down people who they suspect use the Net to perpetrate crimes. For example, a worldwide network of Internet users known as the CyberAngels provide online safety tips and work with law enforcement to stop the trading of online pornography. Other Net users have been known to shut down chat rooms or flame those who they deem pedophiles or sexual predators. CyberAngels doesn't support the electronic harassment of others. EHAP keeps its methods confidential. "Although we would appreciate any information these individuals may have, to violate the law to get the information is not acceptable," said George Grotz, a spokesman for the FBI's San Francisco office. "But how many pedophiles would come to us and say their site had been broken into?" Still, the FBI and other child protection agencies say they need all the help they can get. "Here in the San Francisco office, we have neither the time or resources to surf the Net looking for child pornography," Grotz added. "That said, we do respond aggressively when information is brought to our attention from outside sources, or if we develop information during the process of another investigation." The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which is supported by the Justice Department, also expanded its efforts to encompass online activity. As announced in December at the White House-endorsed Children's Internet Summit in Washington, the center will launch a Web site on March 1 to collect tips regarding online child porn and suspected crimes against children. "It's a huge problem that is as new as the Internet. For law enforcement, it's not easy to handle," Todd Mitchell, program advocate for the exploited child unit, said today. "Parents can't leave their child in front of a computer for hours and hours where they can stumble upon pornography or be solicited in a chat room. They have to teach their kids some safety guidelines," he said. Regarding private citizens' groups such as EHAP and CyberAngels, he said there are legitimate concerns, but that community activism is needed. "If they work in conjunction with law enforcement, it can be something that is a nice partnership between law enforcement and the community. If they take the law into their own hands, it could do more harm that good," Mitchell said.

BULK EMAIL FOR PROFIT

****************************************************** MAIL THOUSANDS OF EMAIL MESSAGES PER HOUR - NO KIDDING !! SEND YOUR EMAIL MESSAGES OUT, AT 1,000's MESSAGES / HOUR (28.8K modem) YES, 1,000's Of Messages An Hour ****************************************************** 30 MILLION EMAIL ADDRESSES ******** $100.00 ******* ****************************************************** YOU'LL RECEIVE 2 HIGH-SPEED EMAIL SOFTWARE PROGRAMS Introducing...."FLOODGATE BULK EMAIL LOADER" AND...."GOLDRUSH STEALTH MASS MAILER" This is the same software that all bulk emailing services use! ---------------------------------------------------- Floodgate Bulk Email Loader Version 6.0 AND Goldrush Stealth Mass Mailer Version 3.215 for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 now Supports 17 (really more with the free form filter) File Formats ---------------------------------------------------- SEND OUT 20,000+ MARKETING LETTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY! Or...every few days. In fact, when I send out just a few thousand marketing letters each day, it doesn't take long before I'm completely swamped with email inquiries and phone calls. This is very easy to do. And each one of these bulk mailings costs me nothing. I can teach you how to do this and provide you with the tools you'll need. If you've got a good marketing letter, I'll show you how to open the floodgates. You'll be deluged with inquiries, leads, and real sales, using nothing but email alone. Writing a good marketing letter is not easy. I often have to rewrite my marketing letters a half dozen times before I get the results I'm looking for. But once you have a good letter, as you probably know, you can use the same letter over and over again, predictably and consistently, closing sales, week after week, month after month. It takes me about one hour to send my marketing letter to THOUSANDS of fresh email addresses. I can do this, thanks to a Windows program I use. It's called Floodgate and Goldrush Stealth Mass Mailer. It's a bulk email loader and an email software program. If you're interested in electronic marketing, you should know about these programs. PROGRAM #1: FLOODGATE FOR WINDOWS The Floodgate Bulk Email Loader imports simple text files that anyone can download from CompuServe, Prodigy, Delphi Genie, or the Internet. These text files contain classified ads, forum messages, or data from the member directory. Each of these files is filled with email addresses. Floodgate is designed to read these files and strip out the email addresses. It then sorts the addresses, removes any duplicates, and formats them into an output file, with 10, 20 or 30 addresses per line. This is all done in one simple step. Just point and click. You'll need either a Windows based Internet account or an America On-line account to send out your marketing letters. Neither AOL nor the Internet charges to send email. Send your letter to 1,000 people or 10,000 people -- the cost is always the same. NOTHING! NEW! PREPARE A MAILING OF 50,000+ IN LESS THAN A 1/2 HOUR If you open an Internet account, you can send each letter to 20,000+ people. The new Floodgate now directly writes distribution lists. Some people are always collecting new addresses, but if you publish a newsletter or adsheet, you'll be using the same addresses over and over again. That's real power! When using addresses you've previously collected, you can press a few buttons and prepare a mailing of 50,000+ in less than a half hour. (To get a list of all the Internet access providers in your local calling area goto: http://thelist.com and click on your area code.) The Floodgate Users Guide will teach you, step by step, how to download the right files, how to strip the addresses, and finally, how to cut and paste the formatted addresses into your marketing letter. Or, if you have an Internet account, how to create distribution lists. One you've done this a few times you won't even have to think. It's that simple! FOR THE BRAVE & DARING: PUSHING TECHNOLOGY TO ITS LIMITS As you may know, the practice of sending unsolicited email is usually frowned upon, and most service providers have rules against it. But, like jay-walking, there is little enforcement. It's not illegal. If someone tells you that it is, ask them to provide the citation (and don't let them give you some nonsense about faxes - that's not email). They can't do it because it's not there. Sometimes, when a lot of people complain, I get a warning letter. And that's about it. About 1 in 200 will write back and tell me, "take me off the list", which I can do, thanks to Floodgates Remove List feature. Many people reply back thanking me for sending them my informative letter. That's always nice. Most people though, just reply and say, "send me more info." In this way, it usually takes me two or three letters to close a sale. The Floodgate Users Guide will provide you with proven formats for writing a successful marketing letter. You'll test and rewrite, test and rewrite. Then, once you've got it, just push a few buttons, and open the floodgates!!! THE FLOODGATE BULK EMAIL LOADER CURRENTLY SUPPORTS 17+ FILE FORMATS 1. CompuServe Classifieds: Send your marketing letter to everyone who is running a classified ad. I'll teach you how to download all the classifieds from any single ad category. This is one of the most responsive list of buyers. They check their email every day and they're already in business. 2. America On-line Classifieds: Download 1,000 addresses in 15 minutes. These are excellent lists for business to business sales. 3. CompuServe Forums: You can join a forum and download hundreds of forum messages in a matter of minutes. 4. America On-line Forums: Choose from dozens of forums. All good targeted lists. 5. Prodigy Forums: Prodigy allows you to easily export any group of forum messages. More targeted lists. 6. Internet Newsgroups: These are all targeted lists. You'll be able to send your marketing letter to everyone who posts a message in any newsgroup. Easily collect 1,000's of addresses per hour. 7. America On-line Member Directory: Most member directories only allow you to search by city and state. With AOL, you can search by business type, hobbies, computer type, etc. This is the gem of all member directories. Build huge targeted lists. 8. CompuServe Member Directory: This is a major resource. If you're willing to target your mailing to a single city, you can collect about 1,000 email addresses an hour. 9. Delphi Member Directory: The Delphi member directory allows you to search for people based on key words. These are good targeted mailing lists. A single search can easily generate 5,000 addresses. 10. Genie Member Directory: Similar to the CompuServe member directory, only you can download names much quicker. You can easily pull hundreds of thousands of addresses out of each of these member directories. 11. CompuServe File Cabinet: If you run classified ads, and save the responses in the CIM file cabinet, you'll be able to easily reuse these addresses. You can send your marketing letter to everyone in any single folder. Build master lists and clean UP your hard drive. 12. Free Form: If you have a text file with email addresses that floodgate does not support, chances are the Free Form filter will be just what you need. Just enter a key word to search for. 13. CompuServe Form Profiles (Forum Membership Directories): Easy to build targeted lists here. Each search can easily bring you 500+ addresses. 14. Genie Profiles: If you're building targeted lists, you'll get a lot of addresses very quickly from Genie. 15. Plain Addresses: Read Floodgate Master Files back into Floodgate to merge files and do selective mailings. Also useful for the management of email address lists that you might purchase. Floodgate also has filters to allow you to include or exclude any groups of addresses in your final distribution lists. For example, you could include only email addresses that ended in .com or exclude all with .gov. You could exclude all noc, root, and other addresses that almost guarantee a negative response. These filters are fully configurable and can be used together. BUILD REUSABLE MASTER FILES Floodgate maintains Master Files for each of your marketing letters. If you download from the same place on a regular basis, you only want to send your letter to the new people. Floodgate will compare the new addresses with those in the Master File, and prepare a mailing list of only new people. The new addresses are, of course, then added to the Master File. With each new mailing your Master File grows and grows. You may create as many Master Lists as you need. When you start a new marketing campaign, you'll want to send your new letter to everyone on your Master List. If you write a newsletter, each time you send your newsletter, you'll send it to everyone on a Master List. THE REMOVE LIST Very often, people will reply and tell you to take them off your mailing list. Place these addresses in the REMOVE.MST file and they will never receive another letter from you again. In this way, you will be operating your business with the most professionalism possible. DON'T BE FOOLED We have some new competitors that have tried to copy Floodgate. The following list describes why Floodgate is BETTER....... **Floodgate is a mature, bug free product. Not an initial release. **Floodgate comes with over 100 pages of step by step documentation. **Floodgate is the only one offering a money back guarantee. **Floodgate has more testimonials. **Filter for filter, Floodgate offers more capabilities, way more. **Floodgate does everything all the others *combined* claim. **Floodgate is by far the easiest to use. **There is NO *cutting and pasting* with Floodgate. **We have by far, the BEST technical support. SOME QUICK MATH Floodgate can pay for itself in a few days. It can also cut your advertising costs down to almost nothing. Think of what the competition will do when they get their Floodgate program. Don't be left in the dust - there are 75 million people out there, just a few keystrokes away. Let's do the math: - Email 50,000 sales letters (takes about 1-2 hours) - Let's say your product will bring you $5 profit per sale. - Let's also say you only get a 1% response(occasionally higher). * That's 500 orders x $5 = $2,500 profit !! Now imagine what 500,000 letters would do for your business !! WHAT CAN I MARKET ON-LINE? You can market anything on-line using direct email, that can be marketed using conventional postal direct mail marketing. The possibilities are practically endless. If it sells off-line, you can sell it on-line. EASY TO INSTALL AND EASY TO LEARN The Floodgate Email Loader requires Windows. The SUPPLIED MANUAL tells you where to go, what to do, and how to do it. All you need are basic computer skills that can be learned with a little practice or help from our computer savvy technicians.

The government already has plans for dealing with AP (what do you think all those secret service guys in DC are supposed to be doing?) Whether AP is inevitable or not, if people don't know where you are, they can't come kill you. This is why privacy is so important in the digital era. Of course, there are still nukes, but as has been pointed out already many times, the use of a nuclear weapon is likely to kill more friends than enemies.

It turns out, I've been doing more reading on vmm on NT, that the model that's implimented in NT is a hybrid of the MIPS 4000 model and the 386 model. That rationale is that this allows the actual code in the HAL to be much smaller by taking advantage of the different hardware aspects of the cpu architetures (this means speed). Don't know if I am going to get this right since I still haven't figured out all the intricacies. But this is what I *think* is going on (in NT)... The TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) is used in NT to determine if the page frame is currently in memory or swapped out. It does this by marking a frame 'invalid' if it's swapped out and listing it's actual page frame number if it's a valid page. Invalid does *not* mean that it can't still be in memory. The reason is that each process has a 'Page Frame Directory' which lists all the valid Page Table Pages for that process. Each of these Page Table Pages lists where each Page Frame Page is within that processes memory map (and that's a whole nother issue with various parts being pageable and non-pageable as well as system or user level). Each Page Frame Page knowns where the individual pages are (ie in memory or swapped out). There is a rather tedious mechanism that translates the virtual addresses to PFD's, PTP's, and finaly to PFP's. That's what I'm trying to get a handle on now. Now these various page related structures get quite big and themselves need to be swapped out. So there is a level of recursion in here. There is also a Page Table Page structure called a 'Prototype PTE Address' (a PTE is a Page Table Entry - ie a valid page frame, these things seem to have several different names making it confusing to follow at times) which is used to allow processes to share a PTE across PFD's. Once we get to a PTE we actualy have a 4k chunk of code or data that a cpu can operate on/with. So, there is where I'm at right now... Hope that makes it clear as mud. Naslajdyatciya! ps. I am enjoying my Toshiba 445CDX, it's a pretty cool machine. Anyone got any suggestions on a PCMCIA ethernet card? pss. Next Saturday is the 1st Saturday in Feb. so the Dallas 1st. Saturday Sale will be going on. Anyone interested? It's basicaly about 20 sq. blocks of computer equipment of every make, model, and age imaginable as well as lots of other stuff (time before last some guy had Cobra Helicopter IR cameras for $500 ea., would make a great IR telescope.). We usualy leave Saturday morning around 2am and get there a bit before 7am. The sale usualy starts about midnite Friday nite and goes until Saturday evening. The best deals are early Saturday morning (my experience over about 5 years of going anyway). ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

I figured you could probably BS such info out of a helpful customer service agent, but this is just too fucking easy. Now I know why Kaczynski wanted to bomb all those airlines and computer companies. I wish he'd gotten these idiots.
