Digital Angel gets under the skin after all

19 Dec '01

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-121901chips.story Applied Digital Solutions is pursuing the implantable chip after all. It's not the GPS-trackable unit yet, but more like the doggie chips. The L.A. Times story says it holds "up to 60 words" in one place, and "several sentences of information" in another. Interesting that they plan to be to market in South America in 90 days (because of fewer required regulatory permissions). They say they expect FDA and FCC approval here by midyear. Anyone want to get barcoded? -- Roy M. Silvernail Proprietor, scytale.com roy(a)scytale.com

Encrypted Distributed Filesystem With Linux?
by Jei 19 Dec '01

19 Dec '01

With over > 2GB in size and on 2.4 Linux kernels? Say, an 80gb filesystem image that is encrypted with XXX over a loop device YYY to a filesystem image that resides on ZZZ. Is there any way to do this or something similar to it? I browsed the net but PPDD + CODA doesn't quite seem to get me there. Neither does SFS or CFS or TCFS or any of the other alternatives I found. The freenet clones seem all too insecure and freenet is just a piece of java code. Not suitable for any *real* use.

The most commonly held point of view that I've perceived on this list is that spammers are too lazy/stupid to do this -or even add a simple string token to a line.

Licenced to Program?
by Jei 19 Dec '01

19 Dec '01

http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8145809.html?tag=tp_pr Enough already! Ban programming. @ Articles Dec 16 2001 - 02:54 EST acideye writes: No I don't agree with or endorse in any way this statement, but to anyone who would like an insight into the minds (often closed minds) of the general public who have been manipulated by the mass media into almost decleration of war on Hackers and other such sub-cultures of hacking. This article is from Adequacy.org and as such copyright and the rest of it. Programming computers is, for practically everyone, something done far away in exotic software engineering facilities by a priesthood of ultra-specialized, half-mad obsessive-compulsives. This is as it should be, and it is where we get the software we use every day to do our online banking, send email, and get productive work done. Though few normal people have any experience of it, or know anyone who does it, there is another kind of programming performed outside this legitimate sphere, one that you probably assumed was illegal, but shockingly, is not. This other kind of programming also affects us every day, but negatively, as a continuous series of massive disruptions to the worldwide economy in the form of viruses, in the form of important and useful computer services being sabotaged with denial-of-service, in the form of defacement attacks, and in the form of substantially higher prices for all sorts of intellectual property such as software, DVD movies and music on CD, all due to piracy. I'm talking about "hacking" of course. It is the evil dark side to all the good that computers have brought us, and we are all sick of it. The time has come to put a stop to "hacking", because we can no longer tolerate the damage "hackers" cause, and the potential risk of terrorism when, not if, "hackers" go to work for such forces of mayhem as have begun an onslaught of terror against not just the United States, but Western Civilization's freedom to be loose and decadent in general. For a time, our society tolerated "hackers" because they promised that something useful would come of their shady and secretive tinkering. Yet we have had nothing but a harvest of bitter fruit from "hackers", and it is now time to pull the plug. It is time to ban all unlicensed computer programming, and take steps to ensure that no one outside of government, select universities, and state-sanctioned private-sector corporate software engineering facilities is given the knowledge, skills, or means to write or compile computer code of any kind. Amateur or hobbyist computer programming has grown from a minor annoyance to a major social disease, and it simply can no longer be tolerated. Although ordinary decent people will find this suggestion to be obvious to the point of banality -- in fact, I'm sure many of you are surprised that amateur computer programming was ever legal! -- many of those who associate themselves with the "hacker community" will bridle at the suggestion. Strictly as an exercise, it would perhaps be diverting to entertain some of their more obvious objections. The first cry in defense of hobbyists toying with this dangerous technology is that hackers have already proven their worth by producing a valuable piece of software -- namely, the Apache web server. Others would even claim that more than one useful program has been written in the garages and and lonely bedrooms of hobbyists. There are two delusions at work here. One of these delusions is that any of the Open Source applications that have found some utility in business and industry were written by amateurs. The truth is that Apache began it's life as the work of professional coders employed by Amazon.com, and as any software engineer you want to ask can tell you, nothing of value was added by anyone but professionals. In truth, the work of the gainfully employed programmers on this project was often interrupted and even sabotaged by the ham-fisted meddling of the teenage wanna-be's and self-styled "gurus" who have accumulated around professional Open Source projects like so many leeches and barnacles. This episode alone demonstrates that if there is anything good to come out of Open Source methodology, it will only be helped along by the removal of dilettantes from the picture. Indeed, once the "hackers" have been outlawed, Open Source will very likely reach new heights of utility and quality, and perhaps even fulfill the promise of greatness that Open Source advocates have been making for years. The other delusion, or I should say piece of misinformation, that has been perpetrated by "hackers" is that there are many other "tools" that have been created by hackers and gifted to a grateful world by our benevolent hobbyists. What about Emacs, for example? What about it? Emacs was originally created at MIT, a trusted part of the US military research establishment. Obviously, such facilities and their (suitably cleared) employees will never be banned. The time has come to ban the reckless tourists from the programming field, not legitimate university researchers. It is true that Emacs, and similar tools have subsequently been "enhanced" by "hackers". Generally, we have seen a pattern of mind-boggling feature creep and software bloat as a result of this. Emacs, for all its admirers, is the worst known example of this. In addition, all of the "functionality" that has been added to Emacs, or other "tools" touted by free software hackers such as Flex, Bison, gcc, etc. are hacker's tools. That means that they are like lock picks or zip guns. They have no inherent functionality that is not ultimately malevolent and illegal in its purpose. This is not utility or service. This is disservice. The reason that hobbyists work so feverishly hard on creating this kind of tool is precisely because they are locked out of the world of the normal, decent software engineer, where professional-grade IDEs, debuggers, and similar tools are abundant. Those with ultimately criminal intent must cobble together their own weapons. There are dozens, even hundreds of these types of destructive programs in circulation, such as those mentioned, as well as the notorious "Back Orifice", or the hacker operating system, "Lunix". While a "hacker" could disingenuously and spuriously argue that each one of these various illegal programs has some redeeming social value, it is clear that taken as a whole, such "warez" do not in fact benefit anyone except "hackers" and other criminals. Rather than waste any more time tediously demonstrating this fact for each of these "hacker's" tools, it would be best to move on to the other canard that "hackers" raise in defense of their "freedom" to "hack". And that would be freedom itself. Is there a right to "hack"? Well, of course there most certainly is not. Is there a right to build atomic bombs or breed anthrax bacilli in one's back yard? Is there a right to spy on your government and pass on that information to our foreign enemies, merely because you have chosen espionage as a "hobby"? Perhaps you could claim that your interest in espionage is driven by an innate curiosity, a desire to discover new things and understand how the world works. And so what? Such apologetics are amusing coming from children, but to hear an adult make such excuses is not funny at all. It is merely sad. Few precocious adolescent "hackers" are capable of understanding why responsible nations must ban "hacking", but as adults we can all recognize that these apologetics for hobbyist "hacking" carry no weight at all, and so we must do what is right. If you style yourself a "hacker" and you really want to play around with dangerous toys, be it source code, fissionable material, or biotoxins, then you have only one route open to you: go to college and prove that you really have the mental horsepower to cut the mustard, and prove also that you are a loyal patriot who can be trusted with potentially deadly power. Then, and only then, will a decent society trust you with the secrets of our most awesome technology. Those too impatient to wait, too dull to get into a university, and too flaky to get security clearance due to low character, drug abuse, and trafficking with unsavory characters are simply out of luck. And it's a good thing too. Is it practical to ban "hacking" now? Absolutely. There is no better time than now. As we have seen by the recent mass murders by terrorists, computer technology is a mainstay of criminals, and they rely most on such "free" tools as text editors and military-grade encryption programs that "hackers" use simply because they think it is cute to play with such power. But the rest of society has lost patience with this childish diddling, and the civilized world has said unequivocally that we want strong legal safeguards enacted to put an end to "hacking" and terrorism. We most especially have no qualms about banning activities like playing with explosives or creating software when these so-called "hobbies" are restricted to a tiny fringe element who for whatever reason gets no pleasure from healthy pastimes like fly fishing or drinking alcohol at gentlemen's clubs. Put simply, normal folks are not going to let themselves get blown up because a tiny minority of freaks like to "hack". If you aren't willing to code for Uncle Sam, then don't code at all. Author's note: Since it is likely that many so-called g**ks or "hackers" will read this article and will perhaps become angry about it, and then, typically, lose control of their anger, I want to this opportunity to ask them to please refrain from attacking Adequacy.org in retaliation. Though you might disagree with an opinion that you read, that is no reason to launch a denial of service attack against the medium. Please use your reason and, if you feel strongly, engage in a polite dialogue, rather than acting out your anger with illegal "hacking" attacks. Thank you for not attacking this web site. read comments (62) | write comment

Subject: Proffr1 the Illuminator. Born 1955 died 2091,proffr1 the illuminator is the eco-anark apostle,international insane saint and punk patron of Anarchia.He was the first to institute global democratic libertarian socialism as crypto-anarchy. The anarchists mainline that the faith was preached by the apostles bart and thaddeus.Thaddeus especially.(thanks chief!)The story has been taken over somewhat by the ameroanachists.Their land being the first to turn crypto-anarchist.In their version proffr1 was the son of a panthein anark who murdered king kong 2 and then drowned while crossing the river murri.Proffr1 was sepporated and baptized in the fosters by a surfragette who acted in accordance a tele-vision.Proffr1 married, then soon after smarted from his wife who became a pro,singer,dancer,actress and dowager empress on rollerskates. Proffr1 had travelled to americana where he refused to take part in human sacrifice ordered by king george.He further enraged the king by declaring himself an anarchist so when king george found out proffs father slew king kong he had him thrown into a supermax.There he was tortured in various ways with christian video nasties and bad food and coffee.The only thing that kept proffr1 sane was when he befriended a rat who passed messages between cells.Proffr1 was also sustained in his time of trial by a pious widow who bought him psychodalek drugs and pron and daphne. Meanwhile the tyrant george had gone from bad to worse.A holy virgin who resists the crazy kings depraved advances is martyred.Rhizsome plays a great part in this story as she is driven mad by the sadistic lust of the bloodthirsty vampire king george the wicked.Finally as the crowds recoil in complete horror,the kings brother see's that he is mad and prays for help.At the very moment of doom he see's a vision off cape canaveral that only proffr can save king george.Proffr1 is bought from the dungeons, and placed before the bestial george, proceeds to exorcise the evil from him. His logical,precise and poetic lucidity charm the entire court.The long discourse of the anabasis of proffr1 becomes required holovid viewing and outrates anal gang bang 6.on channel 99. Following the fantastic conversion of a boar into a peacable learned primate,proffr1 moves around the kingdom in style staking unregenerate KG wannabees and larrabees that refuse enlightenment.There are suprisingly few as excited web surfers and SMSers spread the word of his and Rhizsomes coming.The contrast could not be greater as if lemon were suddenly squeezed into full cream milk.The false gods and werewolves are driven into caucus were they perish beneath a cypher/sword and mentalstorm.Eventually the movement leads to the collapse of govts worldwide.Truly it is written that we were in darkness before knowing of the cypher/sword of crypto-anarchy wielded by mentalstorm prophet and honorary professor1, the Illuminator.

Long Live the Republic, Death to the new world order! **************************************************************************** **** IRS Agent Goes Berserk, Assaults Citizen Local Cops, Sheriff Refuse to Prosecute http://www.4bypass.com/feature.htm by Pat Shannan Dec. 2001 A sign spotted recently over the door of one IRS office says: "Seizure Fever Catch It!" Word has it that the IRS agent with the best seizure rate for the week is rewarded with a brief respite and other job "perks." Apparently the pressure to hit his weekly plunder bonus was more than one revenuer could stand, and when he was asked to show the law justifying his actions, he blew a head gasket. The Oct. 2 incident occurred when Wiley Davis, an IRS Team Manager from Colorado, became agitated with Las Vegas resident Ken Nicholson, 37, during a hearing to discuss an IRS lien against some property owned by Nicholson's friend, Keith Milbourn. Davis, 45, had been brought in from Denver specifically for the Milbourn case. The Las Vegas Tribune first reported the altercation as arising from a tax dispute involving an IRS lien against some property belonging to Ken Nicholson. This was inaccurate. Nicholson had gone along as counsel for his friends, Keith and Shawna Milbourn, and as a witness to the proceedings. It was Milbourn's case that was in dispute. They had also taken along court reporter Beatrice Conner, who caught the whole incident on audiotape. Nicholson had Power of Attorney to speak for Milbourn, 32. Davis was assisted by a female agent. Throughout the hearing, the two men made it clear that they were not going to take Davis' word for anything and would need actual documentation to prove the IRS' stand. Finally, Nicholson said that they would be willing to pay whatever the IRS claimed Milbourn owed if Davis could: 1) Produce a Notice and Demand for the tax; and 2) Give a Code Section which made Milbourn liable. Nicholson said, and witnesses as well as the tape recording concur, that Davis did not attempt to produce that evidence but instead became visibly angry, lost his self-control and attacked Nicholson. Offense is the Best Defense "Out of nowhere," said Nicholson, "he jumped up out of his chair and came around the table, grabbed my chair, and began bouncing it up and down. He shoved it forward and pushed me toward the table. [In the process,] my legs came apart and were straddling the arm of the chair. With three or four quick jerks, he yanked the arm of the chair upward and into my groin. Then he grabbed me and began to physically evict me from the room." Security officers came in and stopped the melee at the Oakley Boulevard office of the IRS in Las Vegas. Court stenographer Beatrice Conner was shocked speechless when Nicholson was knocked to the floor. "It was totally without provocation," she said. "He (Davis) was so angry and violent that if he had had a gun, he would have pulled it out!" Keith Milbourn, who witnessed the whole meeting and scuffle, gave more details: "By the time we called the police there were about ten people in the hallway including other agents, the witnesses and security guards," Milbourn told us, adding that the other IRS agent who was in the room, Renee Swells, was "surprised and shocked" by Davis' action. Swells was unavailable for comment. Milbourn and Nicholson had called 911 "and the cops arrived in five minutes all gung-ho and ready to arrest Ken. However, when they heard the tape played back, they all fell silent, not knowing what to do." So the officers did nothing. No arrest was made. Both men said they tried to report the incident to the U.S. attorney's office, as well as the FBI, but both Justice Department entities declined to take their report. The same proved to be true at the county level with Sheriff Jerry Keller. "I know that if I would have assaulted the IRS agent, I would be sitting in jail right now," Nicholson said. "But because the IRS agent is the one who assaulted me, Metro [Las Vegas Police] only took a statement and let him go." Hidden Ball Trick When the Metro police came out, Nicholson gave a voluntary statement backed up by his witnesses and the tape recording. He was told that he would have to wait five days before the report would be actually recorded in the police records. "On the sixth day, I went in and found out that no police report had been made at all. When I demanded that the report be filed and made official, I was told that I had a statute of limitations of five days to ask and demand prosecution from the date of the incident and that now I was too late." In other words, Nicholson was hoodwinked by officialdom. A spokesman for the Las Vegas Police Department said that investigators informed Nicholson he had to contact the department within five days of the incident if he wanted to initiate action against Davis, since it was "just a misdemeanor battery." LVMPD officials are sticking to their story that Nicholson had not contacted the department seeking action against Davis. The spokesman also said the department gave all of the information to the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. No announcement has been forthcoming as to whether Davis has been terminated, placed on leave pending an investigation, or is being held for psychiatric observation. "If Nicholson wants prosecution, he can contact the general investigations division within the department and they can move forward on it," the unnamed spokesman added. However, the frustrations of not seeing any justice in the criminal courts have motivated Nicholson toward a civil action. [---cut---] Read the rest of the story in the December 2001 issue.
