alpha.c2.org software upgrade
by admin＠alpha.c2.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It is now possible to send outgoing mail via the alias remailer at alpha.c2.org. To send a message, create a message of the following format: From: me(a)alpha.c2.org (My Nym) Password: mypass Subject: test To: alt.test(a)demon.co.uk This is my message. Encrypt this with the public key for the remailer and send it to alias(a)alpha.c2.org. It will decrypt it and send your message (after verifying and removing the password line.)

Steganography Software
by John.Schofield＠sprawl.expressnet.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I am working on a review of the various steganography programs out there for the March/April issue of Keep Out magazine. I have a pretty good list of the stuff that's available in the DOS world, but I may have missed plenty of stuff available on the Internet. If anyone is aware of later versions of these programs, or of a program not listed here that should be, *please* let me know. (Please include an FTP site and directory and/or a BBS to download it from.) I want this review to be as complete and accurate as possible. Questions, comments, and suggestions are of course welcome. Here's everything I have so far, including partial descriptions: HDSK41.ZIP Hide and Seek v 4.1b. Data hiding/seeking using GIF files. JSTEGV4.ZIP This version of the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG Software (release 4) has been modifed for 1-bit steganography in JFIF output files. MANDLEXE.ZIP MandelSteg V1.0, including GIFExtract V.10, for DOS. These two programs allow you to hide confidential data in fractal GIF images. PGE10B.ZIP Pretty Good Envelope (P.G.E.) v1.0. PGE will "insert" your data into a GIF or JPG file. S-TOOLS.ZIP S-Tools for Windows. Version 2.00. Steganography program for Windows. S-Tools (Steganography Tools) brings you the capability of `hiding' files within Windows sound files (.WAV), bitmap (.BMP) and CompuServe GIF files. STEGO.ZIP Send encrypted messages and files which are undetectible and REQUIRE NO KEY! Programs and messages are submerged into a graphic file (usually a B/W TIF file). Once the object has been hidden the TIF appears unchanged. STEGODOS.ZIP StegoDos aka Black Wolf's Picture Encoder, Version 0.90b. For 320x200x256 only. WNS210.ZIP White Noise Storm: Data Encryption/Steganography package. You can use this to hide files in PCX pictures so nobody will see them. Thanks very much!

Use FTP to access it either by name or IP address (128.115.19.53). The operation and prompt will depend on which vendor's FTP you are running. Usually, you must first log in before you can list directory contents and transfer files. Use "FTP" or "anonymous" for Name or Foreign username unless given a general prompt such as ciac.llnl.gov> or FTP>. In that case, enter the keyword "user" or "login" before "FTP" or "anonymous" (e.g., user FTP). Use your Internet E-mail address for the Password. Once logged in you may type a question mark to find out what key-words are recognized. The file 0-index.txt (in the top level directory /FTP) is a document explaining the directory structure for downloadable files. The file whatsnew.txt (in directory /FTP/pub/ciac) contains a list of the new files placed in the archive. Use the command get [for single files] or mget [for multiple files] to download one or more files to your own machine. - ------------------------------ Publications Available from CIAC CIAC prepares publications on a variety of computer security related topics, the CIAC 2300 series. Many of these will be updated as needed to keep the information current. We welcome suggestions for topics that you feel would be valuable. We also make available some documents from other sources.

Is it possible to break Norton Encrypt??

17 Dec '03

Howdy fellow 'punks- A friend of mine thinks his girlfriend has been cheating on him, and thinks the proof may be in a few Norton Encrypt files. Is there anyway to get the password with a data/resource editor, or is he shit-out-of-luck and looking for a new girl-friend?

B-PGP: news/requests
by ddt＠lsd.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Note: I'm meta-prefixing this "B-PGP" to indicate the "Beginner-PGP" thread. At 10:37 am 12/21/94, bshantz(a)spry.com wrote: >It is my own personal opinion that in order for crypto to truly become >mainframe, the software manufacturers of internet connectivity packages must >integrate crypto into the applications. [elided] FYI, any of you who haven't heard should be pleased to know that Steve Dorner is working with Zig Fiedorowicz on integrating ViaCrypt PGP/Mac functions into Eudora (on the Mac, at least, which is a good starting point). This is a major step forward, since Eudora is so POPular :) and this could certainly increase sales of ViaCrypt's s/w as well. In the meantime, I'm looking at the AppleEvent scripts that have been made public and will make comments on them soon. Anyone who's up-to-date on current Mac or Windows version development (Hal Hildebrandt?) is encouraged to contact me, per Phil's request. I just want to make sure everyone gets what they need and that the left hand knows what the right hand is doing, etc. I'll set up an FTP directory "somewhere" for a central repository if anyone feels it's necessary (location to be announced elsewhere). BTW, I'm starting work on a Beginner's PGP-FAQ and would appreciate any question/answer pairs anyone would care to submit. Please keep them simple: they are aimed at an AOL-ish user level. The final document should be extremely non-technical, non-threatening and about three pages long maximum. In it, I will describe the History of the Entire Cryptographic World in 4000 words or less. :) I'm calling the 3-Minute Shakespeare Troupe next week for pointers on how to accomplish this... Speaking of AOL, does anyone know anyone on the current Internet development team there? I used to exchange email with some internet-oriented guys there back in '90-'91 but I wonder if anyone is in current contact - I'd like to discuss the possible integration of PGP into the AOL client software. That would effectively put PGP in a couple of million users hands PDQ. With all the bidness activity there of late, it seems to me there's a need that could be filled quite nicely. >In order to bring crypto to the masses, we have got to convince people that >it is necessary. We also must make it"second nature". It sure is nice to have >a menu option or a toolbar button that will encrypt plaintext automatically. >Key management and some of the "high tech" (I know, for us it's nothing, but >for my dad who just bought a computer and doesn't understand the difference >between click, double click, and drag, crypto is a really high tech thing >just in itself.) Notice Brad didn't even mention his MOM yet. I once tried to explain PGP to my Mom. "That's very nice, dear," was about the breadth of her reaction, but I still put a box on her desk and set her up with a key, even if she won't use it yet (ever? hey, she's a mom, Okay?). Now, if it was a real point-n-click maneuver, it might have a snowballs' chance in hell with her, but until then... >things of crypto should not be directly handled by the user. >(Optional >of course. On a privacy level, the user should have full control. Indeed. I'm hoping the upcoming versions of mainstream PGP (Mac/Win) will allow for a bit more modularity in the apps. I.e. it would be nice if you could "plug in" various functions, so that you could build up the app's features as a user gained more sophistication, but this may be way beyond the v3.0 scope. More on this idea later, as it more directly relates to system software extensions than PGP application stuff. >But give the user a break...if the software is secure..as such...so is the >user's privacy.) > >You will notice that this message is not signed. That's because in order to >sign it, I would need to save my message, hop out to a DOS box, PGP encrypt >it, hop back to my mail program and insert the encrypted mail as a text file. >That's enough to discourage the average user.

It's not >>really practical for me either, but I do it when I feel it's necessary. > >The only way to make crypto practical is to basicalloy hide the technical >side from the user and make it easy. Let me describe briefly for you all (and everyone is encouraged to type up a similarly brief log of what they do on their machines so we have a UI comparison table) what I deal with when I encrypt a msg on the Mac. Keep in mind that I have worked very hard to streamline the process as much as possible, and that this is before installing the AppleEvent scripts. It's not difficult for me, but for someone without a clue... well, they get two steps in, stare at the screen and eventually bag it. type msg body (in Eudora). select text copy to Mac clipboard (system) switch to PGP with macro Encrypt (or Sign) menu command [PGP reads the clipboard here, a wonderful improvement thanks to ...Zig?] enter passphrase [PGP outputs encrypted text to clipboard, wipes temp file] macro back to Eudora. paste clipboard back into msg body Now, all of this is easily scriptable: I once did it with a long complicated macro, but it was s l o w, so I bagged that idea - it didn't even use system level events. I'm hoping the new AE scripts will handle most of this, but it SHOULD all be done in the application layer by Eudora with direct calls to PGP in the bg (see above annc re Steve Dorner), which is the current direction. Let's hope ViaCrypt's new AE support will allow for this (Zig? hello?). IMPORTANT: Anyone currently working on an PGP versions is hereby requested to mail me regarding the coordination of development efforts. Mail Phil with questions about this. ALSO: There will/should be a group discussion at the upcoming physical meeting on the 14th which both Phil and I will be attending. Please bring your keys/laptops/floppies for signing.

BYTE on Netscape
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Ben Smith writes supportively in the January 1995 issue on Netscape's products -- freebie and commerical. See pp.197-200. Two excerpts: "Netsite Commerce Server is Netscape Communications' most important product because it offers the basic requirements for secure transactions over the otherwise open-for-snooping-and-spoofing Internet." [Brief discussion of crypto system -- RSA, PGP similarity and difference.] "Netscape Communications may not be able to clean out the loose threads and cobwebs of the Internet, but its client and servers are the kinds of products the Internet needs to make the transition from being a cobweb of experimental projects to a serious commercial marketplace."
