Well, my recipes for procmail and pgp have been out for a while now. I realize that the installation was a bitch, but what do you think of the rest of it? Where can I improve it? Comments welcome. J.

Internet Backbone Traffic
by jdblair＠nextsrv.cas.muohio.EDU 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Someone in the past week asserted that, at $1000 a gig, one could store all of a year's worth of mail headers from the Internet backbone for under ~$8.7 million. (8700 gigs of data, I presume?) Sorry, I don't remember who it was, but I have some questions: 1) Where can I find an estimate of the mail volume on the net? 2) Are there any projections of internet usage (subscribers, mail users, etc.) over the next several years? I plan on holding an educational session on net legal issues, and I would like to point out the $8.7 million/year price tag on a mail header archive (scary potentials, to say the least), but I would like some sources to back me up if I assert it. Can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. -john. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Blair <jdblair(a)nextsrv.cas.muohio.edu> phone: (513) 529-4879 Insert cool signature file that makes a trendy, yet bold and original statement about my cyberspace proficiency, then mentions that I'll send you my PGP public key if you want it, and you trust that I'm actually me.

value of privacy?
by J. Michael Diehl 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've been thinking lately. (No, it didn't hurt.) Does privacy have in inherent value, or are "we" simply concerned with what others can do with sensitive information about ourselves? What raised the question was that I was thinking about all of the ways in which information was being gathered about me and my new wife. I asked myself, "How far would I go to erase my name from ever database in existence?" and, "So what if the government knows how much money I make, it's not that much! ;^)" Comments? Also, I need to investigate my options for putting my own machine on the internet. I may be loosing my account when I (finally) graduate. Any pointers will be appreciated. J.

Key Server Info Requested
by jdblair＠nextsrv.cas.muohio.EDU 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I could possibly set up a PGP Key server on one of the machines here at Miami. Is there anyone listening that could inform me of where I can get the software and what would be required to set it up? -john. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Blair <jdblair(a)nextsrv.cas.muohio.edu> phone: (513) 529-4879 Insert cool signature file that makes a trendy, yet bold and original statement about my cyberspace proficiency, then mentions that I'll send you my PGP public key if you want it, and you trust that I'm actually me.

Vint Cerf, President of the Internet Society, projected some interesting figures at ONE BBSCON in Colorado recently. According to an article in the October BoardWatch magazine, ".....by December, 1993, there will be over 2 million ping-able hosts on some 46,000 registered IP networks in 22,000 registered domains strewn across some 91 countries. As of June, 1991, it is NOT primarily academic use, but actually that was the crossover point where commercial use applications exceeded academic use. Over 137 countries are now reachable via the Internet domain name e-mail system via UUCP, and the NSFNet backbone is now carrying some 7 TERABYTES of traffic per month. The Internet overall is growing at a rate of 12% per MONTH." You do the math. ,-) Cheers.

Distribution of Secure Drive
by edgar＠spectrx.saigon.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- On Nov 30, I sent a private msg to Eric Hughes asking him to put Mike Ingle's Secure Drive program for MSDOS SECDRV10.ZIP 68155 11-19-93 Secure Drive 1.0 with SRC. On the Soda.Berkeley FTP site and to advise me of its location. I have not received any response at all. I'm on a UUCP system, so I have to do FTP requests via an E-mail server, which is cumbersome if one has to "fish around" for a file one doesn't know the exact directory & filename for. I'm aware that Mike said he hadn't submitted Secure Drive to the FTP site because of "export concerns." But since this site is already distributing PGP, I wouldn't think this a "concern" to the site administration. So I'm asking any public-spirited Cypherpunk (perhaps even an anonymous one) to place Secure Drive on an FTP site or a site with an E-mail file server and to post the location of the file either here or to me privately. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLQg3Zt4nNf3ah8DHAQHWPwP7Bhr/FkuqS3FqkOszCdB97+P6WtKJPsYR d6VshdtFDm59JKsTcUk1V2wY6//5u+BhpFowgJ0qsGR/pl8Bzcl8upTn+RC2IBKH 07oxyJIlciiqYJ+ghlqnMZiPq/ZZ3Z/jHGTlOW1cAP2jHgT2Ok5kPhrr4mGYlAGO h1FfB8AJsDM= =tUFI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- edgar(a)spectrx.saigon.com (Edgar W.
