Date: Fri, 20 Jan 1995 00:13:29 -0600 (CST) From: David Smith <bladex(a)BGA.COM> Subject: File 1--ACM Computers Seized by IIT (fwd) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- ACM Computers Seized By Illinois Institute of Technology "And let it be known throughout the world what was done this day..." Dateline January 17, 1995 Today sometime before noon today, the Illinois Institute of Technology seized the computer systems of the Association for Computing Machinery student chapter at IIT. 700 Student and Faculty users are not happy. And are now without their Email and other private files. The locations of the ACM systems is currently unknown, and the security of the system and the accounts on it is highly questionable, as it was quite literally riped out of the wall. ( a piece of the modem was found lying on the table ). The reasons given by IIT where that members of ACM are suspected of hacking into the computer of another IIT student group, and pulling several pranks. The memo sent to the Dean of Students details the hacking attempt, but no evidence points to ACM's systems or to any of their users, but the memo does make several unbacked accusations. And at this time, we can see no reason ACM would even be tied to the events. However because ACM members are suspect, the systems where unlawfully seized by IIT. IIT has no legal right to seize ACM's systems, nor anyone else, as they contain private accounts, files, and Email. Such rights are protected under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), which extended most of the protections of the federal Wiretap Act ("Title III") to electronic mail. Precidence established in the case Secret Service vs. Steve Jackson Games decided March 12, 1993 Needless to say, ACM members are not too happy about all of this. And the other 700 people don't seem happy either. --------------------------------------------- Dateline January 18, 1995 o Members realize that along with Troll, which is physicaly considered IIT's property even tho it was purchased with student funds, property of ACM members was also seized includind a network card, SIMM modules, and the modem that was broken by IIT during the seizure. o ACM recieves writen copy of allegations and supposed proof that ACM systems where used in the attempt. However the evidence clearly shows that other IIT owned systems where used and NOT ACM's systems. o Electronic Frontier Foundation is called and informed of the situation, and begins investigating the situation. o ACM HEARS THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SEARCHED BY IIT STAFF, AND ACM MEMBERS NOW CONSIDER THE SYSTEM COMPROMISED. STILL NO EVIDENCE SHOWING ACM INVOLVEMENT. o Word continues to spread amung the IIT community, many more students and faculty are outraged about the seizure of their accounts and files. o Continued stress to students due to the lack of access to their Email, addressbooks, and other files. Email is now being lost in mass due to the o ACM systems removal, much of which is considered critical by many people. ACM members miss the Chicago ACM meeting due to the fact that all the info concerning time/location was stored on the seized systems. o ACM members miss the Chicago ACM meeting due to the fact that all the info concerning time/location was stored on the seized systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help(a)anon.penet.fi.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: Nathan Zook <nzook(a)bga.com> > Recall: x^p = x mod p therefore, x^(p-1) = 1 mod p. So what we need is: > (x^e)^d = x^ed = x^(p-1)*i+1 = x mod p. This would only be true for prime p, but with RSA we are dealing with composite moduli. What we want is ed=1 mod phi(n), where phi(n)=(p-1)(q-1). (Actually you want to use (p-1)(q-1)/gcd((p-1),(q-1)). I forget what that is called.) Conceptually, I gather you are setting e = 0x10001, then finding its multiplicative inverse d mod phi(n) (or mod p-1 in your example). Then you are looking for other possible values for d. I am a little unclear on what the interval would be between suitable values of d. I think it would be phi(n)/gcd as above, or p-1 in your example, but I am not sure. > Let's try this again. > > Let 2*x be the target number of bits in the modulous. > > Let n be a large random number with x+2 digits. > Let n1 be the next multiple of 0x10001. > Let t2 be n1 mod 8, t3 be n1 mod 9, t5 be n1 mod 25, t7 be n1 mod 49. > > Loop: > For i = 2 to 7 > If n1 = 1 mod i and (n1-1)/i + 1 is not a multiple of {2,3,5,7} > If (n1-1)/i + 1 is prime. > { > Let k = 0's in n1/0x10001. > If k is in range, save and exit. > } > EndIf > EndIf > Next > n1 += 0x10001; > EndLoop > > Recall: x^p = x mod p therefore, x^(p-1) = 1 mod p.

By keeping track of > various quantities, we can eliminate all multiprecision divisions except > for the original one needed to get n1 and the t's, and doing increments > instead. I still don't follow this. Is k claimed to be d? Where do we verify that ed=1 mod (p-1)? ed would be n1, right? When you said "If (n1-1)/i + 1 is prime" did you mean "is p"? I really don't think this whole thing works. Let me tell you what I tried. I inverted e to get a correct d. Then I looked at different d's to find one with lots of 0's. This turned out to be useless! The reasons is that PGP does not use d. It uses the Chinese Remainder Theorem to do its exponentiation. The two exponentiations it does use exponents d mod (p-1) and d mod (q-1). Adding multiples of phi to d does not change these values (since it is a multiple of both p-1 and q-1). Now one thing you could do is to use in place of d mod (p-1), (d mod (p-1)) + k*(p-1) where we choose k to minimize the sum of the number of bits and the number of 1 bits in this expression. Unfortunately the PGP data structures do not store d mod (p-1), it is constructed on the fly when you do a decryption. So there is no where to save a pre-computed optimal value for the two exponents used in the CRT exponentiations. So, this was a good idea, but the implementation does not fit into the current structure very well.

I bet he thinks that "bash" is something you do to the NSA!!! oh yeah, he goes to his silly little "mind masturbating and drug fondling" parties every few days with all the Hoi Poilloi Holier-Than-Thou pricks of the world, the "cum of the net" ejaculating all over each other, hehehehehehe what a bunch of effeminate nobodies...

EXCREMENT? ODIOUS EFFLUVIA??? don't you know that it cuts into his insanely precious programming time by hours to have to monitor this list closely to see if anyone posted some boneheaded conspiracy theory or insulted him??? that TAKES PRECIOUS TIME THAT HE COULD BE SPENDING TRADING PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES WITH BRILLIANT PEOPLE WHO KNOW UNIX SOFTWARE AND HOW TO WRITE A CORRECT DNS LOOKUP VIA SOCKET LIBRARIES. are we cypherpunks, or cypherprogrammers? GET A CLUE, PEOPLE. I SWEAR if I see one more FORWARDED ARTICLE TO THIS GROUP, I'M GOING TO MAILBOMB THE WHOLE LIST. that'll teach the @#$^%^&* bastards to mess with MY VALUABLE TIME.

perry, of course, is a dysfunctional human "cipher" himself, who couldn't be civil if he was at a tea party of grandmothers. yes, in 15 minutes he would end up screaming and mooning them all because they hadn't heard of Netscape or Chaum or something. what a prick. so he wants to lobby congress and write some code?? well perry, good for you. you just go off on your little excursion. let us know how you are doing. send some postcards to Blacknet, OK??? as for TCM and his invest-in-stocks-and-evade-taxes shtick, it's starting to bore me too. frankly I think that both TCM and PM should take a long, long vacation from the cypherpunks list and go take a cruise together. yes, help patch up that relationship that is so strained lately. it hurts us all to see two grown men fighting each other. make love, not war!!! hehehehe

"Protect the children" as passphrase to Constitution
by tcmay＠got.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I was reminded the other night by someone of the "'National security' is the root passphrase of the Constitution." The idea being that the normal Constitutional protections are bypassed by invocation of "national security." But it occurs to me that we are seeing a new variant of this: "Protect the children." Some recent examples: - Clinton's Executive Order today which limits advertising of cigarettes, limits the display of tobacco-related symbols and words on t-shirts, baseball caps, billboards, and publically-visible signs at sports events. (There were all kinds of details, most of them blatantly in violation of the First Amendment. I half-watched the Clinton announcement, but didn't take notes...consult your newspaper or the Web.) The critical phrase: "We have to protect the children." (Oh, and one amazing detail: the possible issuance of I.D. cards to all of those under the age of 18. Besides being useful for things like curfews, video tape rental prohibitions, and the cigarette ban, it would lead to I.D. cards for those over 18. naturally (if those over 18 don't have to carry them, then all a child less than 18 has to do is to claim not to have to carry one because he's 18!) - The whole Exon and V-chip debates, now likely to be passed by Congress, are about "protecting children." - and the Oklahoma City bombing, not that I supported it in any way, was seen as especially horrific because of the children that were killed. This means that restrictive legislation, such as bans on explosives information, guns, etc., can be justified as measures to "protect children." And so on. Now clearly this strategy will be welcomed by many. It's hard to argue against children and against the "protection of children." Arguing the Constitutional side is tough when "the children" are at issue. More speculatively, I think Clinton has hit on this strategy as a way to line up support from the Republican majority in Congress on many key issues. There may even be repercussions for welfare and health care issues (which Clinton can also cast as "protect the children" issues). The potential crypto relevance? Look for arguments about limiting access to strong crypto to be more heavily focussed on "pedophiles" and "pornographers." Look for calls to have a national I.D. card--which serves many State-needed purposes (and I don't mean in terms of Revelations). A national I.D. card could then be tied in to GAK/escrow systems. "We have to protect the children." --Tim May Special note: My ISP has changed its domain name from "sensemedia.net" to "got.net" (as in "got milk?"), so I have to again ask you all to bear with me and use my new e-mail address, "tcmay(a)got.net". ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

F*** FOSTER
by anon-remailer＠utopia.hacktic.nl 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

this vince foster thing is BS. total bs. Perry is right. there's not a single smidgeon of honest reporting going on. its just slime being stirred up by internet thugs and rapscallions. let foster rest in peace. multiple people have ruled it was a suicide. perry can attest that it was a suicide. perry can attest that the NSA was not involved. he has seen everything, and if he has an opinion on something, you can take his word that it was based on the FACTS. the FACTS of the case are that FOSTER was fed up with his nothing life, and pulled the trigger and blew his brains out in a park. so what if they couldn't find the brains anywhere? or they are missing a few here and there??? they were splattered on the grass. when there is that much splatter all over the place, you can be sure that the people showing up with the spatula are not going to be that meticulous. they probably did about 5 minutes of scrape, scrape, scaping and then vomited and passed the spatula to the next guy. I mean, cut these guys some slack. the NSA stuff is total, utter poppycock. the NSA has absolutely nothing to do with vince foster. Clinton has nothing to do with foster. Hillary has nothing to do with foster. why, the way people are ranting you'd think there is a major political scandal going on. NOTHING IS GOING ON HERE. please step aside, and move along. PLEASE MOVE ALONG FOLKS, THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SEE HERE. the fact that foster may have had access to intelligence secrets such as cryptography is IRRELEVANT to the cypherpunks. the fact that a scandal may have taken place is IMMATERIAL to our goals. our goals are to WRITE CODE. FOR GOD'S SAKE, WRITE THAT CODE. I don't care if you have to create code generators. CODE, CODE, CODE. post the code to the cypherpunks list. talk about the code. critique the code. study the code. salvation for all humanity lies in finding the magic formula. and we can't find it, UNLESS WE CODE, DAMMIT. perry understands this. some people think that there is a magic government program that will solve poverty, give freedom to everyone in the US, and solve P=NP. they're WRONG. the government cannot do any of this. BUT PROGRAMMERS CAN!!!! put your programming hats on. if you haven't banged a keyboard a half million times, fired up VI to edit a C file for the ten zillionth time, NO PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. if you haven't compiled something recently, RECOMPILE IT JUST TO BE SAFE. we just aren't making any progress without CODE, CODE, CODE. we have an utter shortage of code. the problem is not politics, but LACK OF CODE. anyone can look at the net today and see there is a HORRENDOUS SHORTAGE OF CODE IN CYBERSPACE. we have to train everyone to program NOW or the future is lost to the incompetent. we will be back to Vic 64's if people don't keep up the constant programming. software is the key to salvation. every second devoted to the vince foster thing is a precious second taken away from code. NOTHING POSITIVE CAN COME OF PREOCCUPATION WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES. PERRY CAN ATTEST TO THAT. remember when PRZ was getting indicted? perry was right on then too. some people were scared shitless and raving out of their minds, saying the world would end tomorrow, but NOT PERRY. perry has NO FEAR. he said that we should CODE, CODE, CODE. and you know what??? HE'S RIGHT. if people followed PERRY, we would not be in this @#$%^&* predicament we are in. if we could just get it so that every person who signed up to the internet could CODE, we would be home free. salvation. utopia!!! then we could rest a little. but only a little, otherwise the NSA will beat us again at the code race. once again: forget Foster. nothing, absolutely nothing about this scandal could possibly help our cause of trying to expose corruption in government to the mainstream populace, to keep them better informed, to put limits on the NSA, to show that they have been involved in horrendous abuses, that there is something utterly smelly in our government. FORGET IT. NOTHING LIKE THIS WILL EVER BE PROVEN OR ESTABLISHED. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, JUST LIKE PERRY SAYS SO. when anything new comes of this foster stuff, just remember that perry predicted way ahead of time that it would amount to NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING. and the more you preoccupy your brains with this TOTAL MINUTIA, the less you are coding. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. just remember, if you don't, you will be SORRY, and when you come crying back to Perry that nothing of value came of all your conspiracy mongering, he will have NO SYMPATHY, in fact if he had a gun around he'd probably be tempted to blow your brains out. and you can just FORGET about the spatula.
