<nettime> 200k Caymans companies hijacked to democratize offshore business - Press Release
by Jaromil 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

re all, Loophole for All - http://Loophole4All.com now, how do we call this art? :^) accountancy art? I do believe accountants are very creative people in fact. BTW sorry for hijacking the announcement, but on the same genre, a few days ago Enric Duran has sent out a communicate on how the court-case against him is becoming a farce. check it on http://enricduran.cat/comunicate-enric-duran-before-a-trial-that-could -become-a-farce/ ----- Forwarded message ----- Loophole for All - [1]http://Loophole4All.com Press Release. NYC, 15th February 2013. Paolo Cirio, contemporary artist and pirate, hacked the governmental servers of the Cayman Islands and stole a list of all the companies incorporated in the country, making it public for the first time. Now on [2]Loophole4All.com he is selling the identities of those companies at a low cost to democratize the privileges of offshore businesses. Paolo hijacks the identities of more than 200,000 companies registered in the Cayman Islands by moving their addresses to his Caymans mailbox and issuing counterfeited certificates of incorporation from the Caymans company registry. This massive corporate identity theft benefits from the anonymous nature of those companies since the real owners' secrecy allows anybody to impersonate them. In short, this project turns the main feature of offshore centers into a vulnerability. Through [3]Loophole4All.com, anyone can hijack a Caymans company, from 99? for a certificate of incorporation for a real company to $49 for a mailbox in the offshore country with mail rerouting. Finally, small businesses and middle class people can invoice from the major offshore centers and avoid unfair taxes, legal responsibility and economic disruption in their own indebted home countries, in a form of global civil disobedience. For this operation, the artist set up a company in the City of London as a shield for legal persecution and to compete in the market against offshore centers. He utilizes aggressive business strategies for a political work of art and reverses corporate machination for creative subversive agendas. With the money generated by selling companies' identities, Paolo plans to expand his business into Bermuda, Jersey, the Seychelles, and Delaware, among others. Further, Paolo Cirio interviewed major experts and produced a video documentary investigating offshore centers, where he shares his extensive research and conclusions about offshore business: [4]http://Loophole4all.com/doc.php In the offline art installation, the paper trail of the project is displayed with prints of the documents of the scheme set up for the operation. Ultimately, the installation will be a low cost identity shop for offshore companies, and in doing so democratize both offshore business and the sale of subversive works of conceptual art. Watch the introductory-meme video: [5]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qGg7YIvnMQ Quick notes: - The Cayman Islands are second only after Switzerland in the global Financial Secrecy Index. - The Caymans state is considered to be one of the major offshore centers for high finance and the global economy. - Among the several thousand anonymous companies in the Caymans you will find most of the major global multinationals, Chinese businesses, criminal organizations and all the major global banks. - There is neither real money in the Caymans nor a real market. Caymans companies are only booked on paper. - The Cayman Islands is a British crown colony situated 150 miles south of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. In the next months you will find Paolo Cirio's works at: - Public Private exhibition at Kellen Gallery of The New School, New York - U.S. - The Big Picture, exhibition at Contemporary Museum of Denver, Colorado - U.S. - MediaCities festival, exhibition, Buffalo - U.S. - Eastern Bloc festival, exhibition, Montreal - Canada - ISEA 2013, keynote, Sydney - Australia Thanks for the attention.

Tor 0.2.0.31 is released
by Roger Dingledine 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Tor 0.2.0.31 addresses two potential anonymity issues, starts to fix a big bug we're seeing where in rare cases traffic from one Tor stream gets mixed into another stream, and fixes a variety of smaller issues. https://www.torproject.org/download.html Changes in version 0.2.0.31 - 2008-09-03 o Major bugfixes: - Make sure that two circuits can never exist on the same connection with the same circuit ID, even if one is marked for close. This is conceivably a bugfix for bug 779. Bugfix on 0.1.0.4-rc. - Relays now reject risky extend cells: if the extend cell includes a digest of all zeroes, or asks to extend back to the relay that sent the extend cell, tear down the circuit. Ideas suggested by rovv. - If not enough of our entry guards are available so we add a new one, we might use the new one even if it overlapped with the current circuit's exit relay (or its family). Anonymity bugfix pointed out by rovv. o Minor bugfixes: - Recover 3-7 bytes that were wasted per memory chunk. Fixes bug 794; bug spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. - Correctly detect the presence of the linux/netfilter_ipv4.h header when building against recent kernels. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. - Pick size of default geoip filename string correctly on windows. Fixes bug 806. Bugfix on 0.2.0.30. - Make the autoconf script accept the obsolete --with-ssl-dir option as an alias for the actually-working --with-openssl-dir option. Fix the help documentation to recommend --with-openssl-dir. Based on a patch by "Dave". Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. - Disallow session resumption attempts during the renegotiation stage of the v2 handshake protocol. Clients should never be trying session resumption at this point, but apparently some did, in ways that caused the handshake to fail. Bug found by Geoff Goodell. Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. - When using the TransPort option on OpenBSD, and using the User option to change UID and drop privileges, make sure to open /dev/pf before dropping privileges. Fixes bug 782. Patch from Christopher Davis. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. - Try to attach connections immediately upon receiving a RENDEZVOUS2 or RENDEZVOUS_ESTABLISHED cell. This can save a second or two on the client side when connecting to a hidden service. Bugfix on 0.0.6pre1. Found and fixed by Christian Wilms; resolves bug 743. - When closing an application-side connection because its circuit is getting torn down, generate the stream event correctly. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x. Anonymous patch. ----- 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

[i2p] Distributed Search Engine
by Tom Kaitchuck 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

For those of you that do not know, I am currently working on building a distributed search engine for I2P. While it is still in an alpha state, it is approaching the point where it could use some wider testing. It is now in cvs under the module khksearch. I was planning to hold off on releasing it until I fixed a bug preventing servers from joining in mid operation, but it has proved elusive enough, that I think more eyeballs may help. One thing that some of you may be interested in even if you don't care about the search engine itself, is that to make it work with I2P I took the streaming library for Java and put it into a wrapper class that imitates java.net so all one has to do is take the wrapper code put it in the class path and in your java program replace "import java.net.*" with "Import search.connection.*" and your app is instantly ported to I2P. (Assuming it is fairly simplistic and only has one socket server per Jvm instance. But this could easily be improved upon if anyone is interested. ) There is still lots to do, not all of which requires huge technical skill. (Code cleanup, Better instructions, Startup scripts for windows and other JVMs) Also the existing awt interface needs to be converted into an applet or so that it can run within a webpage. The biggest thing that remains to be done is implementing the ranking code, I plan to do this next. As far as the license goes, it will we a free software license that permits modification and public access to the source. (probably lgpl or similar) However all of the scripts and all of the code for the wrapper, were written by me, and are public domain. So if you are interested in helping out, or would just like to play with it, check it out. _______________________________________________ i2p mailing list i2p(a)i2p.net http://i2p.dnsalias.net/mailman/listinfo/i2p ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]

[cryptography] introducing BLAKE2 b an alternative to SHA-3, SHA-2 and MD5
by Zooko O'Whielacronx 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Folks: SHA-3 (Keccak) is a fine alternative to SHA-2, has a substantially different design from the SHA-2 family, and has excellent performance in hardware. However, many use cases need an alternative to MD5 b something with better security properties than MD5 but with high performance in software. To that end, we've defined BLAKE2, an optimized version of SHA-3 finalist BLAKE that is faster than MD5 on Intel 64-bit CPUs. https://blake2.net Target applications include cloud storage (my current field), revision control tools, software distribution, host-based intrusion detection, and digital forensics b areas where MD5 and SHA1 currently dominate. We do not think that this superior software performance comes at a cost of reduced security. We argue that much of the extensive security analysis performed on BLAKE during the SHA-3 process applies to BLAKE2 and shows no cause for concern about BLAKE2's security. Please see the blake2.pdf white paper for the details of that argument. In addition, I'll make an argument here that we did not put into the white paper: A guiding factor in NIST's choice of Keccak over BLAKE for SHA-3 was that they wanted SHA-3 to be substantially different from SHA-2 so that it could serve as a fallback in case a breakthrough suddenly revealed SHA-2 to be vulnerable. This was NIST's reason for choosing Keccak over BLAKE even though by their own estimation BLAKE's security margin was comparable to Keccak's and the depth of cryptanalysis that had been applied to BLAKE was greater than that applied to Keccak. That is a good strategy for choosing an algorithm to serve as an emergency fallback, in case SHA-2 suddenly breaks. On the other hand if SHA-2 has remains unbroken, and you are considering the security of BLAKE2, then the fact that it is a traditional Add-Rotate-XOR design like SHA-2 should give increased confidence. When the SHA-3 project began, there was concern among many cryptographers that a breakthrough might appear at any moment and reveal SHA-2 to be vulnerable. Since that hasn't happened after years of study, this concern has faded, and SHA-2 appears for now to have withstood the test. I think a similar argument could be made for the way that BLAKE2 re-uses the ChaCha/Salsa20 stream cipher, which has not been found to have any serious vulnerability. In addition to the superior software performance of the basic single-threaded, linear mode, BLAKE2 includes variants optimized for 32-bit architectures, for SIMD/multicore processors, for Merkle-Tree applications, and for message integrity checking. I'm particularly keen on the SIMD/multicore variant, a parallelized mode named "BLAKE2*p", because almost all modern CPUs b even a lot of the cheap and power-efficient 32-bit ARM chips b come with efficient SIMD features. It looks like it will be possible to have 4-way or 8-way parallelized BLAKE2*p which are many *times* as efficient as MD5, on both short files and long files. Once we've finished porting, measuring, and experimenting with the different modes of BLAKE on different machines, we intend to write a "b2sum" command-line tool, which we hope will eventually replace "md5sum" in the unix user's toolset.

Comments on Site #139: http://www.healthynewage.com healthychoice(a)earthlink.net ~~~~ This is a nice looking site, but I do have some recommendations just to make it a little easier. 1 - The look of the logo and first sentence "A Healthy New Age..." with a serif font just didn't seem to fit with the color and style of the rest of the site. 2 - As someone unfamiliar with new age stuff, I would have liked more of an introduction to describe what I would find at your site. 3 - There is a LOT of information and links on the home page. It might just be me, but I don't like so many decisions on what link to click on or where to go. By dividing this information up into main categories, then sub-categories, I wouldn't have felt overwhelmed. ~~~~ Cool background. I wish you hadn't covered it up with the white text box. But if you are using a text box / table, instead of centering all the information, I'd separate those links into side by side cells, eliminating a lot of white space and scrolling. ~~~~ This is a fast-loading site, with very extensive information on new age products and practices. I thought the 'alphabet soup challenge' was a neat idea, and you definitely have a lot of content. With the layout, try to stick to one background print, and one related background color for the other pages if you don't want to always use the print.

Just thought others might like a heads up or more information about this. It's called the SirCam virus, and when it spreads, it sends an apparently random file from the harddrives of infected computers along with it. ANY file on your machine could be copied and sent to hundreds of other users. In some cases that could be simply embarassing. In others, depending on the contents of the file, it could be quite costly. The files I've gotten have ranged from 200k to slightly over 300k.

Comments on Site #139:  <a href="http://www.healthynewage.com">http://www.healthynewage.com</a> healthychoice(a)earthlink.net ~~~~ This is a nice looking site, but I do have some recommendations just to make it a little easier. 1 - The look of the  logo and first sentence "A Healthy New Age..." with a serif font just didn't seem to fit with the color and style of the rest of the site. 2 - As someone unfamiliar with new age stuff, I would have liked more of an introduction to describe what I would find at your site. 3 - There is a LOT of information and links on the home page. It might just be me, but I don't like so many decisions on what link to click on or where to go. By dividing this information up into main categories, then sub-categories, I wouldn't have felt overwhelmed. ~~~~ Cool background. I wish you hadn't covered it up with the white text box. But if you are using a text box / table, instead of centering all the information, I'd separate those links into side by side cells, eliminating a lot of white space and scrolling. ~~~~ This is a fast-loading site, with very extensive information on new age products and practices. I thought the 'alphabet soup challenge' was a neat idea, and you definitely have a lot of content. With the layout, try to stick to one background print, and one related background color for the other pages if you don't want to always use the print. While the topics all related to new age, the pages didn't seem to relate at all with the different borders and colors for every page.

All fine and dandy, except it's completely useless. I am an Austrian - the Austrians are dead set against "steady set markets", and dead set against equations in economics. You don't need fancy equations for anything in economics - look on www.mises.org Mark
