Re: Seeking help on WordPerfect 6.1 cracks [Done, thanks]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Got it, thanks for the offers of help. FYI, none of the currently available freeware will decrypt WP 6.1 files; the WPCRAK mentioned in the sci.crypt FAQ stops at 5.2. But AccessData was kind enough to decrypt one for free, and the others had the same password. - -rich -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQBVAwUBMlqzB5NcNyVVy0jxAQE6WAH/Wg2NIeaZxdfbRi2tTgdeynMdqXfSm0E6 zhq9aBRdpQEtZSRY5jABH24pLlSd3OfugyhyNqD+qULy4XzIygm5Fw== =lMjI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[BOOK][CYPHERPUNK] "Holy Fire"
by Brian D Williams 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Bruce Sterling has a new cyber/cypherpunk novel, "Holy Fire" (ISBN 0-553-09958-2). Enclosed are a few exerpts, I'll lead with the "list appropriate" one. Brian "This was a very unhappy interface. And small wonder. No doubt this entire virtual environment was being encrypted, decrypted, reencrypted, anonymously routed through satelites and cables, emulated on alien machinery through ill-fitting, out-of-date protocols, then displayed through long-dead graphics standards. Dismembered, piped, compressed, packeted, unpacketed, decompressed, unpiped and re-membered. Worse yet, the place was old. Virtual buildings didn't age like physical ones, but they aged in subtle pathways of arcane decline, in much the way that their owners did. A little bijou table in the corner had a pronounced case of bit- rot: from a certain angle it lost all surface tint." "Attendants opened the hinged white lid of the emulsifier, took the thin shroud from Martin's wasted, puckered body, and slid him, with reverent care, feetfirst into the seething gel. The scanners set to work, Martin's final official medical imaging. Gentle ultrasonics shook the body apart, and when the high-speed rotors began to churn, the emulsifier's ornamental flowerbeds trembled a bit. Autopsy samplers caught up bits of the soup, analyzed genetic damage, surveyed the corpse's populations of resident bacteria, hunted down and cataloged every subsymptomatic viral infection and prion infestation, and publicly nailed down the cause of death (self-administered neural depressant) with utter cybernetic certainty. All the data was neatly and publicly filed on the net."

NOC_ase
by John Young 17 Dec '03

10-8-96. FiTi: "Offshore financial centres agree to greater scrutiny." The Offshore Group comprises most of the biggest offshore financial centres including the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caymans, Gibraltar, the Channel Islands, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Panama and Singapore. The agreement says home supervisors should be able to inspect the books of shell branches wherever they are kept. "In no case should access to these books be protected by secrecy requirements in the country that licenses the shell branch," it says. WaJo: "Cold War Spying: Mystery Gives Way to History." The release of the Venona documents tells us more about the state of intelligence agencies today in both Russia and the U.S. than it does about Stalin's spy rings. These and counterpart activities in Moscow dramatize the ongoing campaign American and Russian intelligence agencies are waging in the 1990s -- not against each other but at home, to preserve their budgets and public respect. And with "Venona: The Book" launched at last week's conference, can a CIA/NSA CDROM be far behind? ----- http://jya.com/nocase.txt (10 kb for 2) ftp://jya.com/pub/incoming/nocase.txt NOC_ase ---------- Anybody got a copy of the Offshore Group's agreement? Whither EUB? Or seen "Venona: The Book"? If so, does David Kahn have a part?

Hi-- I am looking for someone who lost a feeling of privacy-- I need a "victim" to tell a story about how he or she had her privacy invaded and how he/she felt about it. The Oprah Show is looking for a real-life example of someone whose name got on a strange list, or whose unlisted phone number was given out, or whose medical records were made known to insurance companies--anything like that. The show is next Wed. and they will pay to get you there if you have a good story to tell (and it had better be a true story!!) Call Dana Newton of the Show if you have story to tell... 312-633-0808 Thanks!

Most money transmitters and banks won't ask for ID or that you fill out the payorpayee in the process. If you live in a large city there should be enough outlest to enable you to transport $10,000s/month without seeing the same merchant twice in same month. It'll just look like you don't have a checking account and are paying you're monthly bills. The advantage of these instruments, of course, is that they are relatvely safe from loss.

IRE founder Doug Kozlay [NEWS]
by Dale Thorn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The L.A. Times has run at least 3 major (full- or nearly-full-page) articles on encryption subjects in the last 4 or 5 working days. Tuesday's (8 Oct) article concerns Doug Kozlay, a "former" researcher for NSA. A few excerpts: "Not a dollar (of 2 trillion in govt. payments) goes through unless the electronic key Kozlay invented turns in an electronic lock..." "He (Kozlay) envisions future consumers using electronic cash cards with all the anonymity and easy spending of paper money." "All the new devices he imagines would be protected by IRE's encryption technology." The article goes on to describe how could standardize encryption all across the Internet. IRE has a current contract to encrypt MCI's Internet access service, for $12 million.

Injunction Against Spammers
by Otto Matic 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Today Concentric Network Corp. won an injunction [15] against Cyber Pro- motions, Inc. -- the outfit against which AOL lost a court fight to keep its subscribers free of email spam -- see TBTF for 9/8/96 [16]. Cyber Promotions, it seems, was forging a Concentric Network return address in their spams, so thousands of outraged Netizens bombarded the ISP daily with demands that Concentric stop supporting an activity that is, in fact, forbidden by their terms of service and of which Concentric was entirely innocent. The wording of the promise that Cyber Promotions was compelled to sign forbids them specifically from thus abusing Concentric in the future. It seems to me that the spammer will be free to choose another ISP "goat," or to forge a nonexistent return address on their future spams, without penalty. This timely news just arrived on Glen McCready's <glen(a)qnx.com> "0xdeadbeef" mailing list.
