The analogy of crypto = padlock lack something. A padlock can *always* pried open. A court order can always be issued to open it. So Joe Enforcment will be on it's way with it's crowbars, liquid N2, saws and/or torches and do his duty. It will be no loss of time to him. Strong encryption is different. No matter what Joe Enforcment try, the crypto lock won't give away (well, at least, this is what we assume here). Working on it means just one thing: absolute waste of ressources. AFA Joe Enforcement is concerned, a gun has some of the same potentiality: try to force it and you also risk an absolute waste of ressources. From a human standpoint, it might look different, but if you make abstraction of human life (like most dictators do), some of the effects are similar.

Friday 5/8/98 6:25 AM John Young J Orlin Grabbe Sobolewski phoned last night. Sobolewski gave me his opinion. 1 Campos is going to hold in camera ex parte conference with NSA 2 Campos will then award summary judgment to NSA. I told Sobolewski that most of the legal citations in Campos document were not contained in the pleadings. Sobolewski EXCLAIMED, Oh. Sobolewski is particularly good at law. Sobolewskis father was a lawyer and judge both in Poland and Australia. Sobolewski prevailed in an lawsuit spanning the US and Australia - but it still cost him more than $20k TELLING a lawyer what to do. Sobowleski usually beats speeding tickets. Sobolewski uses DISCOVERY to obtain maintenance and calibration records of police radar. And also radar operation training records of the officer who stopped him. The MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER authored by some government lawyers and signed by Campos is clearly a candidate for one of the STUPIDEST and INCOMPETENT legal documents ever written. http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm Morales and I LOVE IT, of course! This is why we were so happy last Friday. We got another shot at THEM [aka The Great Satan]. Morales is taking the day off from Sandia today. We will finish and file our motion. Then BLAST it out on the Infobahn. I see other good legal advice linked at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ http://www.phrack.com/52/P52-05 Later bill

Extractor Pro already does what Bill Gates is waiting to do! Armed with Extractor Pro, a pentium computer, and a 28.8 modem you can be sending more messages in the time that it takes to change the oil in your car, than the entire NewYork post office can send in one day..

Spy Satellite Launched
by Spam the President 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://www.abcnews.com/sections/science/DailyNews/rocket980508.html C A P E C A N A V E R A L, Fla., May 8 A top secret spy satellite blasted off on Friday atop the U.S. military's most powerful rocket booster. The 20-story U.S. Air Force Titan 4B rocket, carrying the classified National Reconnaissance Office spacecraft, lifted off its Cape Canaveral launch pad at 9:38 p.m. EST. The rocket's comet-like streak through the moon-lit night sky was visible as far away as Orlando. According to the trade journal Aviation Week and Space Technology, the Titan, built by Lockheed Martin Corp., placed an electronic eavesdropping satellite into orbit. "It will be used to listen in on communications in hostile areas, such as the Middle East and North Korea," said Craig Covault, the magazine's space technology editor. The rocket soared into the sky several hours late after a problem-plagued countdown. Air Force launch controllers had to deal with technical trouble at a tracking station and high upper-level winds. The countdown was also disrupted by a container ship and a small sail boat that strayed into the launch danger area in the Atlantic Ocean, east of Cape Canaveral.

FW: "... would cause us to look at this person as a threat"
by Trei, Peter 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The earliest online citation I can find is in the May 1997 Newsletter of the Melbourne Seventh-day Adventist Church, at http://www.spacey.net/bwillard/News0597.html Considering it's content, I have no doubt that it is manufactured - it carefully written to offend millenialist Christians, such as the SDAs. I've written the page owner to see if I can find out more. Deja News shows this quote first in alt.war.civil.usa, on March 18 1998. Since then, it's been banging around various Christian and political groups. It also seems to be on the website http://www.sightings.com/political/renowords.htm, but I have not confirmed this, nor can I tell if this cites an earlier source.

Chaffing & winnowing without overhead
by Jesús Cea Avión 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

You can have chaffing & winnowing without bandwidth overhead, but the resulting scheme hasn't the original "elegance" anymore. In particular, you don't send the plaintext on the clear. The new schema is useful to cypher a document using any standard signature library, exportable by definition. Very nice :), since you can use, at last, strong crypto :). a) When the connection starts, negociate an initial sequence number. The sequence number mustn't be reused. We assume a ordered delivery, like TCP. b) Calculate the signature for: [sequence]0 -> MAC0 and [sequence]1 -> MAC1 c) Compare both MACs and locate the first "different" bit, from high to low bit or viceversa. d) Send that bit from MAC0 if you want to send a "0" or from MAC1 if you want to send a "1". -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)argo.es http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ PGP Key Available at KeyServ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibnitz

Perhaps you ought to reread your own header line, if you don't like what is being posted: "Aw, are you offended>". Many remailer users utilize them to avoid retaliation for hypersensitive netcops like you, Gary Burnore, and Steve Crisp. If everyone posted strictly politically correct content that wouldn't offend anyone, there would be little need for anonymity. But threatening to "beat the living fuck out of" someone because he disagreed with what someone posted is ample reason to withhold one's name and e-mail address. If you don't like to read anonymous posts, please feel free to learn the proper use of a killfile, McClatchie. BTW, only one of us is using a proper, RFC-compliant e-mail address in the From: line.
