RE: "They've started bombing Mars! I repeat, they're bombing Mars!"

The scene from Babylon 5 is hardly original. The same thing happened in Vietnam, The Korean War, WW2, WW1.... This is war, and in war innocent people die to further the cause of the leaders. You just have to hope and pray that some good will come out of it.

On the Ft. Meade addresses for two of the cpunk domains, was there not a humorous explanation for this posted a couple of years back? Dimly remembered: there's a town of Ft. Meade as well as The Mad Fort itself, or something like that, and that a mail drop would be handy for swapping useless bits of bs-buffer overflow. If this is now classified, hit D, Degausse and deodorize your Farradage!

REPORT ON CYBER-TERRORISM
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A new report on national security, titled "CyberCrime, CyberTerrorism and CyberWarfare," calls for a complete overhaul of U.S. national security agencies and policies in order to avoid crippling sabotage of the nation's and corporate America's information infrastructure. The report, which is the product of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Global Organized Crime project headed up by former FBI and CIA director William Webster, chronicles the results of a recent joint chief of staff exercise code-named "Eligible Receiver." The exercise involved a group of security experts, known as a "red team," that used software widely available from cracker Web sites to demonstrate the capability to penetrate and disable major portions of the U.S. electric power grid and deny computer systems to the entire Pacific military command and control operation. The report recommends the establishment of private sector-organized groups that would evaluate and endorse information security standards in various industries, coupled with increased government support for such efforts and the development of a national security policy for the Information Revolution. "The private sector cannot sit back and wait for government to lead," says Sen. Charles Robb (D-Va.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

I hope your cellmate is a big guy they call "The Bull." ::Traitorous scum. ---------- Message Ends ---------- What I *really* love about these "patriots" is how they are not _afraid_ to stand by their words! Awwww, c'mon! You're on the "Side Of Right(tm)", so why hide? You afraid I'm gonna piss on your white picket fence? Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin(a)mfn.org -- If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

Intel security hub

> I wonder what government sponsored back doors they plan to include... > > http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19981214S0008 This has been mentioned before. Only suggested response so far is to fight tooth and nail to ensure that hub-dependent programs can work transparently with a software fill-in. Otherwise you could potentially need to break a tamper-resistant chip, patch the software (fortify^2...), or pull off some such superhuman feat. (By the way, the address for letters to the editors of Mobile Computing and Communications, in case you want to respond to the articles mentioned, is <letters(a)mobilecomputing.com>) More redundant reiterations of senseless nonsense: I'm not so confident it'd be backdoored, but if it's closed-source (not unlikely) that is, for obvious reasons, bad. Even if not, it will, with probability just barely <1, result in Intel as a major CA. I don't think the hub'd be backdoored because it'd be a risky investment for anybody to backdoor it; although I'm not sure the hub'd be closed-source, anything trivially and undetectably compromised is about as bad; Intel'd use the hub to become a CA just because it makes business sense. > > Intel's Security Plans Worry PC Builders > > (12/14/98, 3:49 p.m. ET) > By Rick Boyd-Merritt and Mark Carroll, EE Times > > Intel will add new security and software functions to future > chip sets in a move that will boost the profile of its > upcoming Katmai processors as key silicon for multimedia > and e-commerce.
