linux-ipsec: ANNOUNCE: FreeS/WAN IPSEC & IKE version 0.8 released & useful!
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Forwarded from linux-ipsec(a)clinet.fi - posted by Hugh Daniel <hugh(a)toad.com> --------------------------------------------------------- I would like to announce for the FreeS/WAN software team that they now have a freeswan-0.8 release available for download from the FreeS/WAN home page at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan The 0.8 (and target 1.0 in June) runs only in a VPN (tunnel) mode, protecting and encrypting net traffic for a subnet behind the SG. This setup is called a SG for Security Gateway. We plan on implementing the rest of the IPSEC and IKE draft standards in our 2.0 release later this summer for the 2.1.xxx and 2.2.xx series Linux kernels. There is some useful documentation for the current FreeS/WAN done by Kai Martius at: http://www.imib.med.tu-dresden.de/imib/Internet/index.html The 0.8 release has been tested extensively in the hand keyed ESP-3DES-HMAC-MD5-96 tunnel mode and is quite robust. On a 150Mhz 586 Clone PC TCP throughput is over 320 Kbytes/second sustained as measured by netperf. The IKE daemon pluto has been tested only a very little and sometimes works and sometimes does not. It will work for the simple VPN case before 1.0. Feedback, new features, documentation, scripts and bug fixes & reports are especially useful in the next few weeks before we start in on the 0.9x series of release working up to a stable 1.0 release in June. Don't wait for the last minute to submit that neat feature or bug fix, as we might not have time to include it! If you have questions about the project please see our home page where you will find a mail list, list archives, FTP directory's etc. Thanks to everyone who made this release possible, but mostly the people who coded it up! Please post all bugs, fixes, code etc. to the public email list at <linux-ipsec(a)clinet.fi>. ||ugh Daniel hugh(a)toad.com Systems Testing & Project mis-Management The Linux FreeS/WAN Project http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan

NSA & y2k
by Information Security 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Forwarding... ---guy > From owner-ignition-point(a)majordomo.pobox.com Tue May 19 10:29:02 1998 > Subject: IP: NSA concerns could hamper DOD Y2K fix Source: Federal Computer Week http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1998/0518/fcw-frontnsa-5-18-1998.html NSA concerns could hamper DOD Y2K fix BY BOB BREWIN (antenna(a)fcw.com) HEATHER HARRELD (heather(a)fcw.com) DANIEL M. VERTON (dan_verton(a)fcw.com) The National Security Agency has slapped a security blanket on the Pentagon's efforts to fix the Year 2000 millennium bug, which could further slow the Defense Department's already-behind-schedule Year 2000 fixes. NSA has determined that all information detailing DOD's computers and its efforts to fix the Year 2000 problem are a "national security interest" and "highly sensitive." As a result, the Pentagon has cut off the military services and DOD project offices from the Defense Integrated Support Tool (DIST) database, which the Defense Information Systems Agency maintains to provide details on all DOD computer systems and interfaces for use in planning and deployment. DIST, according to DISA, is a database of some 9,000 DOD systems that the department uses to track such key areas as system interfaces, compliance with high-priority standards, interoperability testing, consolidation goals and Year 2000-compliance planning. DIST was seen as critical to the Year 2000 problem because it provides a central source of information about interfaces between different DOD systems, which is a chief concern of Year 2000 conversion efforts. DOD began using DIST to track Year 2000 compliance in August 1996, and a Dec. 19, 1997, memo from the Office of the Secretary of Defense to DOD chief information officers identified DIST as the "central, authoritative database for tracking resolution of the Year 2000-related problems for systems throughout the department." That aggregation of extensive details about Year 2000 problems with DOD systems poses a threat to national security, according to NSA. "The DOD's Y2K conversion effort is a national security interest," NSA reported in a statement supplied to FCW. "All information detailing these information systems and the progress being made toward their conversions is considered to be highly sensitive." DOD is not trying to cover up information about its Year 2000 efforts, a DOD spokeswoman said. "We couldn't hide what we're doing if we wanted to, and we certainly don't want to," she said. "The idea is to move these fixes along at the fastest possible clip but not to jeopardize other security measures as we do it." While industry and service sources said they could understand NSA's security concerns, they said the classification could hobble the Pentagon's already-delayed Year 2000 remediation efforts. One former high-ranking DOD official described the classification issue as symptomatic of what he called the Pentagon's "gross mismanagement" of Year 2000 issues.

Hackers Tell About Security Woes WASHINGTON (AP) - Computer hackers told Congress today that computer security is so lax, they could disable the entire Internet in a half-hour. Members of the hacker think-tank called ``The Loft,'' who were praised by senators for calling attention to the problems of computer security, also warned that they could transfer Federal Reserve funds by computer and disrupt electrical power. One hacker, identified by his online handle ``Mudge,'' told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee ``if you're looking for computer security then the Internet is not the place to be.''

Click or type here : http://www.investorsedge.net www.investorsedge.net Here is a sample of a Market Alert. Power Technology, Inc. Years Ahead of it's competitors 5/18/98 Market Alert Power Technology PWTC (OTC: BB: PWTC) Time to start to accumulating. We have learned that the company is about to have a major event. Here is a brief description of the company. Power Technology's (OTC BB:PWTC), principal offices and laboratory are located at 1000 West Bonanza Rd. Las Vegas, Nevada 89106. The centrally located warehouse, laboratory, office structure, owned by Alvin Snaper, is a two-story 30,000 square foot building. The Company utilities 5,000 square feet for the development and testing battery technology for electric automobiles and other uses. Current technology in the automotive battery industry utilizes a 6 to12 volt battery system that employs standard electro-plates with lead-acid chemistries. Power Technology has developed with already proven technology, a batter that substantially lighter than the conventional battery and also have a quicker re-charge rate and will be more cost effective. Because this new technology does not use lead, this product will be environmentally friendly. The potential market for the new Power Technology battery could be any application that utilizes the conventional lead-acid technology. Also the current target market for Power Technology's battery will be the new environmentally friendly electric car. Until recent amendments postponed legislation, the California Air Resources Board decreed that 2% of vehicles sold in California by major automakers must meet a zero-emissions vehicle standard by the year 1998. By the year 2003, 10% of automakers sales mix in California must be electric. In addition clean-air-regulators in a dozen Northeastern states and Washington, DC are considering adopting the same air-quality standards as in California, which could result in an electric vehicle mandate covering roughly 40% of the US car and light-truck market. The electric cars produce to-date have battery packs that last between 25,000 and 30,000 miles and require a two to three hour recharge using a 220-volt outlet or six to 10 ten hour recharge using a 110-volt outlet and cost about $2000 to $2,500 to replace. Still, these operating and recharge statistics only apply to electric cars or batteries operating at room temperature. At higher temperatures, like those found on sun-soaked asphalt highways (approximately 50% of North America), battery life is drastically diminished. Currently electric cars will carry two people about 50 miles on a hot day. With this kind of performance the consumer will be very limited to where and how far they are able to drive. The Battery that Power Technology has developed will let a consumer drive approximately 250 miles one a normal charge. The recharge time on a 110-volt outlet is approximately 3 hours. The Power Tech battery also does not contain any harmful materials. Two weeks ago I saw a prototype of the Battery and spoke to the inventor, Mr. Alan Snaper. The company currently has about $500.000 in the bank and is in discussions with several major companies and governmental agencies regarding this product. Currently Power Technology (OTC.BB) trades around 5 dollars a share. The company just recently started to trade. In my opinion Power Technology is undervalued. I believe this company will do very well in 1998. This is one of those undiscovered, overlooked companies on Wall Street. I really can't even project the potential of this company. 10 to 15 a share by the end of 1998 is extremely conservative. Take a look at the management. The stock should be 10 just based on the management's resume. Management: Alvin A. Snaper, is the company's vice-president of development and the project coordinator for the new technology. He has been engaged in scientific research and development of products and processes for 30 years. His well known inventions include the IBM Selectic Ball, Tang (the Orange drink), the NASA Apollo Photo-pack and a line of industrial hard coatings currently used by companies such as Gillette, Boeing, TRW, Vermont-American, Gulf Western and many others. Mr. Snapper currently holds 600 U.S. and foreign patents, products and processes. Mr. Snaper is the only inventor to receive the Design News Magazine Best Patent of the Year award for three separate years. In fact he is the only individual to receive more than one such citation. Charles Warn is the Chief chemical engineer for the project. He has over 40 years experience in development and project engineering and design expertise in a variety of different disciplines. His past experience includes working with General Motors and Parker-Hannifin with high performance aircraft fuel systems. Chances are that one of the big three automakers will buy out Power Technology. Due to no exposure in the financial industry, Power is undiscovered and a screaming buy.

This time I was so sure of the voice that I spoke aloud, "Hello, is someone out there." No sooner than I had finished speaking a tiny fairy appeared before me.
