(Fwd) Wired news: German Network Lifts Ban on Dutch ISP

The mirror efforts have been a success. Germany has lifted the ban on the xs4all site. --C ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: tank <tank(a)xs4all.nl> Subject: Wired news: German Network Lifts Ban on Dutch ISP To: tank(a)xs4all.nl Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 11:39:04 +0200 (MET DST) >From www.wired.com: German Network Lifts Ban on Dutch ISP With mirror sites defeating its attempt to shutter a left-wing magazine, Germany's main academic network has called off the blockade. The network acted 11 April after prosecutors warned that Radikal magazine, hosted by Dutch ISP XS4ALL, was illegal. The network then blocked XS4ALL, which hosts 6,000 Web sites. Protests included widespread mirroring of Radikal. "An effective barrier to the illegal content was not possible," a network spokesman told the Associated Press Tuesday.

[NTSEC] NT Displays Plain-Text Netware Passwords (fwd)

The user-id and password apply to Netware, however, users commonly use the same logon information for both NT and Netware. It is possible to then recover the plain-text information by using a disk editor. Tests have been performed (with more pending) on these systems: Windows NT Workstation 4.0 w/SP1 and IntraNetware Client for NT (970214) Pent. 133 Laptop 24MB RAM 50MB PAGEFILE.SYS Windows NT Workstation 4.0 w/SP1 and Microsoft Client Services for Netware Dual Pent 166 64MB RAM 80MB PAGEFILE.SYS Novell Netware 4.11 Server 1. Set /MAXMEM=12 in BOOT.INI so as to force swapping. 2. Load NT; Authenticate to NT and Netware (I used the same ID and Password for both systems.); Verify connection by mapping a drive. 3. To ensure that sufficient swapping takes place, run a large program (this forces the user-id and password information stored in RAM to be placed into PAGEFILE.SYS.) 4. Exit NT; Boot to DOS; diskedit PAGEFILE.SYS 5. Search for one of the following strings (do NOT include the "" items): IntraNetware Client: NWUserName="user-id" WlMprNotifyPassword="password" "UserName" (if the username is alone, the password will follow very closely) Client Services for Netware nwcs"password" (the password is all CAPS and will immediately follow nwcs) In a "real-life" environment, most likely there will be enough swapping on the system that setting the /MAXMEM switch will be unnecessary. The switch is only to help confirm that this hole exits. If anyone has any knowledge of this, please post it to the list.

PGPSteps
by harka＠nycmetro.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-------------< COMMENTS BY Harka >-------------- Since there was a quite surprising interest, when I announced the draft-version of "PGPSteps", I'll post it this time straight to the list. If somebody would like to give it a WWW-home, go for it (please let me know the URL). Harka ----------< END OF COMMENTS BY Harka >---------- Here is "PGPSteps", a brief installation guide for PGP 2.6.2/2.6.3i for DOS/Windows. I started writing it, cause it seemed, that a lot of people were getting turned off by the sheer amount of homepages, front-ends, 150-pages+ FAQ's etc.. All of these things are great, but were usually only mastered by the most of the determined. The majority of potential users though didn't want to go through all that trouble. Hence "PGPSteps", an attempt to provide an easy starting ground, that let's newbies know, where to get PGP, how to install it, answers the most important questions and gives pointers to other resources. All that in a short and easily understandable form, that even not-so-technical people might be able to deal with. I hope, I have failed not too miserably... Comments to "PGPSteps" are welcome.

Of course, if you are one of the >small percent of the population who can't be moderate, then you should not >use alcoholic beverages. But many people have bad reactions to various >foods. That's no reason to forbid them or their advertising. ............................................... Well, of course I was taking aim not specifically against the mentioned vices, but to the attitude of people who wish to protect children from themselves in their forays into "dangerous" advertising territory. That is, to the attitude of calling for restriction and the setting of boundaries, rather than of providing some explanations on life and what can happen and how a person can deal with consequences. But that would take a lot of work and wisdom that they apparently don't feel they can offer. I have envisioned a time in the distant future, perhaps in a distant galaxy, where static data is not a source of fear and children grow with an open attitude to information - to the fact that it is they themselves, who determine what shall be done, not bits of data. I have always read so many things since growing up, curiously poking into everything that was available (my Mother would have cringed), and never was automatically affected by it, but developed a total respect for a Universe of All Possible Things, even if I never intended to involve or indulge myself in trying out all that I encountered (in the library, bookstores, etc.) These people have this idea that because you look at a black hole you inevitably must fall into it. I guess it comes from their own lack of self confidence. Were they to have the aim of ascending from fear and doubt into the expansion of their worldly perspective and development of intelligent judgment about Reality, they wouldn't have to think of calling upon intermediaries to put limits on their activities (or that of their children) for them. One should look for intermediaries only when one is clearly helpless. It's incredible to think that there is no self-defense against fatuous advertising. -- end of rant -- .. Blanc
