CBC News: Russians unexpectedly arrive in Kabul (fwd)

Looks like the russians have arrived for the party. RUSSIANS UNEXPECTEDLY ARRIVE IN KABUL FULL STORY: http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/view?/news/2001/11/27/russians011127 Last Updated: Tue Nov 27 22:16:38 2001 KABUL - While U.S. Marines were consolidating their bridgehead near Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, Russian troops unexpectedly arrived in Kabul. They set up camp on a piece of waste ground, and have so far refused to say what they're doing in the capital. Some sources said they are setting up a temporary embassy, others said a field hospital. But it looks like a military camp and many Afghans have bitter memories of the 10 years of Soviet occupation. "A few years ago they came here (to) Afghanistan and they fought with people. And they are very crude people. We don't like (them)," said one man. "Russians destroyed all of Afghanistan. Maybe they are now coming to help," said another. Given the Soviet occupation of this country in the 1980s, Russian soldiers may not be the ideal choice for a humanitarian mission. But Russia is a strong supporter of the Northern Alliance, which has been in power in Kabul for two weeks. Russia may be flexing its muscle as one of the regional powers in Afghanistan, or it may be keen to show that if Washington can put Marines in Kandahar, then Moscow can put troops in downtown Kabul.

EU regs forbid extraditing people to countries with lower standards of justice than practiced in the EU. Spain has already refused to extradite the Al Qeada(sp?) suspects it's arrested, unless it's guarenteed that the USG won't kill them.. Spain (like most civilized countries) has abolished the death penalty, and doesn't think highly of places which haven't. Sending them to a place where they may be tried by a secret tribunal is also a regarded as a problem Peter Trei

pipenet padding
by William Hitzke 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

i'm constructing a pipenet application and one of the biggest headaches is traffic padding. end-to-end traffic padding is too costly, so its outta the question. another similar problem to traffic padding is connection establishment and tear-down. w/o significant enough traffic, you can't really do it in mixmaster style. my idea for link padding (between adjacent nodes/switches) started w/ the idea of a bi-di 14400 bps, to make hosting an anonnet server (my pipenet implementation) palatable to the person who cuts the checks for bandwidth (such as myself). 14400 connections would force people to open many connections for, say, looking at a website (multiple connections for the page, images, etc). this would help w/ the mixmaster connection requests, and allow hosters to better control bandwidth. then i thought about allowing multiple "virtual links" to be connected at the end node/receiver, so that traffic could be spread across them. aside from latancy and ordering issues, this could really up the through-put. just recently (after reading an attack from wei dai on the freedom network), i was thinking how these multiple "channels" could be used to guard against the active attacks that are exposed absent end-to-end padding. if the traffic did not fill all the channels, and traffic was randomly distributed across the channels, wouldn't/couldn't this make attacks on the system much more difficult. especially if different nodes randomly sent null packets to the receiver, and vice-versa (to reduce possible collusion between the end node and a middle node). assuming the end node is trustworthy (more so than the set of nodes used), then an attack on any link between the beginning and end gives far less information to be used in tracing a route, because its is unknown what the distributiuon of traffic is. it makes things more hairy, having to deal w/ out of order packets (each single channel is still mac'd and sequenced properly). but, it widens the security margins, no? this design seems to me to be a win-win. it makes high[er]-throughput, beneficial link padding possible, while (per the low per-channel bandwidth cost) giving the host of a pipenet/anonnet node more control (finer granularity) over traffic usage thus making hosting less costly. any comments, suggestions? i'm really looking for somebody to tell me whether allowing multiple channels like this exposts the design to more attacks than have been pointer out w/ link padding schemes. otherwise, at the very least it makes the application more practical.
