[Freedombox-discuss] open source hardware exists
by freebirds＠hushmail.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Nick Daly, thanks for your empathy. But my abuser's hackers are accessing AMT and DASH. Because reflashing the BIOS did NOT erase the firmware rootkit and because firmware rootkits also infected my graphic card, I purchased a brand new netbook. I didn't copy files to the internal hard drive. I used a live Fedora DVD. Jack's hackers hacked my AMD DASH. Nick Daly, its not that I shouldn't or can't avoid unavoidable hardware. Its that the hackers can and do use the hardware's backdoors. FreeScale, MIPS, Texas Instruments are not on Intel's adapter list. http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/adopterlist.htm BeagleBoard and PandaBoard use Texas Instrument's processor. Olimex board, Genesi linux netbook and Hercules linux netbook use FreeScale's processor. The Ben NanoNote micro netbok uses MIPS processor. What I have not been able to find out yet is whether they have ARM's TrustZone and how to hide the PSN. Both Olimex and Beagleboard forums replied that their processor has a PSN. Several days ago, I cited a link to Qi hardware, which is open source hardware. http://en.qi-hardware.com. They manufacture for Ben NanoNote. I am considering purchasing a Ben NanoNote even I cannot follow the complex tutorial on flashing Debian onto a SDcard. Yes, I can download and burn an ISO. But flashing to a SDcard is complex. I am not suggesting to give up on Marvell. I disagree with Ben's post that a nondisclosure agreement means not answering my questions. If the Freedombox Foundation forum signs a nondisclosure agreement with Marvell the Freedombox Foundation can share this information among themselves. If the forum, as a group, has preferences not met with Marvell, the forum as a group can ask Marvell to customize the dreamplug. If Marvell refuses, we can look at the above mentioned alternatives or create our new open source hardware jointly with Qi. The first step is to ask Marvell. Please do. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJP7OWUAAoJEMry4TZLOfxmH4IH/173BAwd7jtFiHmtKYCP73+PUB3W WTwxy+Apc3ZFVNSovfFq2Qw0nmIASyGdUVOpifaStQ4MeKvNhKeMLB3vYz6KOO7tPzyx xUFFUnSzJ+Ye/fOVDDyCggmLSaN8fmQT1smKfnNyq4BjiC+6gb0eMchePf9l9bW3vL3G bwLlBiNVNoQZq2Vg9+YGaSuuvVZAbvrytqMY5sAB+wedWDU4vVceAKoI6xmVrGR36BEz 5uSThJY3gj40XJINUAJfc8tD+t7G62w8/vdNw71jGomB3b8yYu2UYgBQXVpaxVaC5tRk WrmVPGXkSfP/IV+lWLfXBCSJG97MvcF/0QAzRSY1V/E= =c3rI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss(a)lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE

Brian's idea is for all nodes to offer a "grid-control" service. "grid-control" allows you to publish Announcements, either your own or ones you are forwarding for someone one else. Brian proposes several approaches to this concept: * fully-connected mesh: every node makes a Foolscap connection to every grid-control provider they hear about, subscribe to hear about all announcements, and publish any announcements that the other side doesn't already know about. * opportunistic: clients only connect to storage servers, and storage servers don't make outbound connections to anybody, but if you *do* happen to be connected to someone who also offers "grid-control", then connect to their grid-control object too and exchange Announcements * cluster-of-Introducers: normal nodes don't offer grid-control, but multiple Introducers do, and all of them know about each other. All nodes connect to all grid-control providers (which means all Introducers). * one Introducer: this is just a degenerate cluster-of-Introducers .. _`proposes switching from introducers to gossip`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-July/007511.html grid-updates - ------------ darrob `announced the release of grid-updates 1.1.3`_. grid-updates is Tahoe-LAFS helper program.

Lucrative update
by Patrick 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Lucrative release 4 is out. I know many people are used to seeing releases numbered like "0.000001", "0.000002", "2.0.3.0.14.657" etc. but release numbering systems are essentially arbitrary in nature so don't get excited as Lucrative goes toward version 50+. This release is a fairly minor one, but included some changes such as the client name that I wanted to get out as soon as possible. There is also a new development weblog at http://lucrative.thirdhost.com/weblog/. I went through an install with someone over IRC last night and made a blog entry summarizing the install notes. I recommend reading the notes before attempting an install. I am glad to help with an install, drop me a note at patrick(a)lfcgate.com if you have trouble. Some documentation on the various entities in the Lucrative system is now available on the website, http://lucrative.thirdhost.com/documentation.php but more is needed and coming. If Lucrative is interesting to you, please consider helping in any way you can: Feedback Installation reports Suggestions Comments Criticism Feature requests Source code patches Donations Are all very much welcomed. And criticism is more useful to me than praise. My sincere thanks to everyone who has participated so far by installing, testing, providing feedback, spreading the word, and donating. And finally I just received word from SourceForge that the project registration for Lucrative has been approved.

Re: [liberationtech] Carrier IQ
by Marnie Froberg 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Senator Al Franken as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Privacy Technology and the Law has sent a letter to CarrierIQ asking a number of very specific questions regarding user information and technical specifics. It will be interesting to read their response, if there is one. A copy of the letter is available here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2011/12/01/heres-the-letter-senat… The full text of the letter: Dear Mr. Lenhart, I am very concerned by recent reports that your companybs softwarebpre-installed on smartphones used by millions of Americansbis logging and may be transmitting extraordinarily sensitive information from consumersb phones, including: b" when they turn their phones on; b" when they turn their phones off; b" the phone numbers they dial; b" the contents of text messages they receive; b" the URLs of the websites they visit; b" the contents of their online search queriesbeven when those searches are encrypted; and b" the location of the customer using the smartphonebeven when the customer has expressly denied permission for an app that is currently running to access his or her location. It appears that this software runs automatically every time you turn your phone on. It also appears that an average user would have no way to know that this software is runningband that when that user finds out, he or she will have no reasonable means to remove or stop it. These revelations are especially concerning in light of Carrier IQbs public assertions that it is b not recording keystrokes or providing tracking toolsb (November 16), b [d]oes not record your keystrokes,b and b [d]oes not inspect or report on the content of your communications, such as the content of emails and SMSsb (November 23). I understand the need to provide usage and diagnostic information to carriers. I also understand that carriers can modify Carrier IQbs software. But it appears that Carrier IQbs software captures a broad swath of extremely sensitive information from users that would appear to have nothing to do with diagnosticsbincluding who they are calling, the contents of the texts they are receiving, the contents of their searches, and the websites they visit. These actions may violate federal privacy laws, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This is potentially a very serious matter.

[Freedombox-discuss] open source hardware exists
by freebirds＠hushmail.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Nick Daly, thanks for your empathy. But my abuser's hackers are accessing AMT and DASH. Because reflashing the BIOS did NOT erase the firmware rootkit and because firmware rootkits also infected my graphic card, I purchased a brand new netbook. I didn't copy files to the internal hard drive. I used a live Fedora DVD. Jack's hackers hacked my AMD DASH. Nick Daly, its not that I shouldn't or can't avoid unavoidable hardware. Its that the hackers can and do use the hardware's backdoors. FreeScale, MIPS, Texas Instruments are not on Intel's adapter list. http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/adopterlist.htm BeagleBoard and PandaBoard use Texas Instrument's processor. Olimex board, Genesi linux netbook and Hercules linux netbook use FreeScale's processor. The Ben NanoNote micro netbok uses MIPS processor. What I have not been able to find out yet is whether they have ARM's TrustZone and how to hide the PSN. Both Olimex and Beagleboard forums replied that their processor has a PSN. Several days ago, I cited a link to Qi hardware, which is open source hardware. http://en.qi-hardware.com. They manufacture for Ben NanoNote. I am considering purchasing a Ben NanoNote even I cannot follow the complex tutorial on flashing Debian onto a SDcard. Yes, I can download and burn an ISO. But flashing to a SDcard is complex. I am not suggesting to give up on Marvell. I disagree with Ben's post that a nondisclosure agreement means not answering my questions. If the Freedombox Foundation forum signs a nondisclosure agreement with Marvell the Freedombox Foundation can share this information among themselves. If the forum, as a group, has preferences not met with Marvell, the forum as a group can ask Marvell to customize the dreamplug. If Marvell refuses, we can look at the above mentioned alternatives or create our new open source hardware jointly with Qi. The first step is to ask Marvell. Please do. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJP7OWUAAoJEMry4TZLOfxmH4IH/173BAwd7jtFiHmtKYCP73+PUB3W WTwxy+Apc3ZFVNSovfFq2Qw0nmIASyGdUVOpifaStQ4MeKvNhKeMLB3vYz6KOO7tPzyx xUFFUnSzJ+Ye/fOVDDyCggmLSaN8fmQT1smKfnNyq4BjiC+6gb0eMchePf9l9bW3vL3G bwLlBiNVNoQZq2Vg9+YGaSuuvVZAbvrytqMY5sAB+wedWDU4vVceAKoI6xmVrGR36BEz 5uSThJY3gj40XJINUAJfc8tD+t7G62w8/vdNw71jGomB3b8yYu2UYgBQXVpaxVaC5tRk WrmVPGXkSfP/IV+lWLfXBCSJG97MvcF/0QAzRSY1V/E= =c3rI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss(a)lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE

Brian's idea is for all nodes to offer a "grid-control" service. "grid-control" allows you to publish Announcements, either your own or ones you are forwarding for someone one else. Brian proposes several approaches to this concept: * fully-connected mesh: every node makes a Foolscap connection to every grid-control provider they hear about, subscribe to hear about all announcements, and publish any announcements that the other side doesn't already know about. * opportunistic: clients only connect to storage servers, and storage servers don't make outbound connections to anybody, but if you *do* happen to be connected to someone who also offers "grid-control", then connect to their grid-control object too and exchange Announcements * cluster-of-Introducers: normal nodes don't offer grid-control, but multiple Introducers do, and all of them know about each other. All nodes connect to all grid-control providers (which means all Introducers). * one Introducer: this is just a degenerate cluster-of-Introducers .. _`proposes switching from introducers to gossip`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-July/007511.html grid-updates - ------------ darrob `announced the release of grid-updates 1.1.3`_. grid-updates is Tahoe-LAFS helper program.
