Then I ran across the coolest software that would assist me in sending E-mail and not being identified by anyone. Whether you live in a country that doesn't allow you to use free speech, your shy and want to send an anonymous love poem to someone, you want to advertise your product without losing your ISP account, or you just want to flame your boss without anyone knowing, then you may need the E-mail Cloaking Device.

Box 337 Greenville, TX 75403-0337 Phone 903-450-8809 The commercial version has no restriction on how many people you can send a message too at once. Also, the annoying message box that tells you of each message sent has been taken out so that you can push one button, walk away from your computer and send thousands of messages at a time. Also a very important point, we use this software and know how to use it and can offer you technical support. Good luck and may your next bulk e-mailing make you a million. Your Friend :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you would like to remove ALL e-mail you consider junk then go to: http://catalog.com/tsw/efilter/ and download this program.

l3T m3 0n +h3 l12+!! The time to think about the world is now! I am by far not even close to an environmentalist. In fact I hate those types but they do have one point . . . pollution! Pollution in corporate America is what kill more men than AIDS. You have to slow this. You are the outraged youth and YOU are the Future! Get your head out of your ass and learn all you can. We cannot fight the genocide that is happening in our world if we cannot prove it is going on. Search and you will find these evils. The information generation is here, without it all of man kind could die by the year 2050. I may not be here to suffer the agonizing death that awaits but guess what . . . you will. We can only save this world by connecting and spreading the word. Corporations are prepared to exterminate us all and retire to their own little world. They fed us all with lies about how they are concerned but in reality they are planning for it. They are stashing food and supplies all over the world for their own version of doomsday. The big businesses will build an empire of technology around you and slowly kill you. They will have the world to them selves at no means. With you dieing in the streets of a toxic overload they will sit back in their hideaways enjoying the rest of their lives! You can stop them and only you. Expose their secrets. Find the proof we need to wipe them out for good! Or you all will die in their dream world! What I am shooting to you in so many words is that the world needs hackers to find out what is going on behind our backs. I am saying that the masses need to know what the rich ass holes in their little dream world want to do with us. How would you like to wake up one morning and everyone in the world is dead? This is what hackers need to stop. We the people of the world need to stop all of this shit! Technology is a force witch the United States Totalitarian government must deal with. Everyone exposes the truths they hide from the people who live here! No longer can a police officer kill a man in cold blood and pretend that it never happened. The age of computers and mass media expose the hard core facts of the governments' brutal murders and deadly tempers. So what has happened to this world which they control us and beat us into their beliefs? The truth is that we have discovered "Big Brothers" little tricks! We are the truth of tomorrow! We see what the fascists of American government do when they plan to kill those who appose them. People like you and me tell those who will expose these truths to the citizens of our country. We serve our prison time for exposing these truths but hell. There is not even as many of them to kill us all as we are the world. Please understand that there is much in this world you do not yet know, the murders that have happened and the killing that will come. The time to think about this is now! You are sitting at a cross roads of life with the age of world freedom at your finger tips. What are you going to do about it? Learn about the world around you! Peep into their private little lives! I am not afraid of them, they must frame me for any thing they could ever arrest me for! They are stupid that way, but you can take the knowledge that you see and stop the killing! You can support the abolishment of the forming of the New World Order! Simply use your knowledge to see what is up! Expose this information to whoever can use it. Let everyone in the world know what is going on. People in our government hate us. Have you ever asked your self why? I will tell you why our government hates you. The truth is that you are young and smarter at twenty and twenty-one then they will ever be. You know information that they were hidden from. Are you tired of being called the problem with the world? Clinton calls us the problem, The Republicans all call us the problem, Dole called us "the only problem" WHY? We are smarter then them! That is all they are complaining about! I mean they are afraid of us all. They increase the fear of technology every day by printing evil headlines about "invasion of privacy" and thefts! These stories are mostly fiction! The real hackers do not care about the private sector . . . well they do but not to "steal" from them. The truth in it all is that anarchist computer users are only interested in information. Public people do not have this information and there for are not in danger! That is what we all need to explain to everyone. That is what all of the world should know. So why do people fear us? It is big business that is afraid. They have secrets that the people of the world CANNOT know! They are evil in so many ways it makes people sick. We expose these secrets! That is why they fear us! The corporations of the world do not want people to be free. They want you all to be stupid and to live in fear. They distort the truth of reality. Big businesses are trying to rule the world and fear us of exposing that! They create propaganda against us, and lie about us to the public. They have us arrested and thrown in jail for exposing their secrets to the world. However, together we can all stop them! To organize and inform these evils. To break down these lies and start a world of passing truths! You have never seen the world behind what these corporations show you. Do you want to? The truth is that this is the ugliest world in any ones' mind. All you have to do is look for it. When you see the ugliness then you must show it around. Give a glimpse of this evil to everyone in the world. Collapse what is wrong and there will be the entire earth to thank you for their lives.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)miron.vip.best.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"exon"} = "<remailer(a)remailer.nl.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"haystack"} = "<haystack(a)holy.cow.net> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"lucifer"} = "<lucifer(a)dhp.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"balls"} = "<remailer(a)huge.cajones.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"middle"} = "<middleman(a)jpunix.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek reord"; $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{"dustbin"} = "<dustman(a)athensnet.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek mix reord middle"; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"wazoo"} = "<remailer(a)wazoo.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"shaman"} = "<remailer(a)lycaeum.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"hidden"} = "<remailer(a)hidden.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer. There is no remailer at relay.com. Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator: (cyber mix) (weasel squirrel) The alpha and nymrod nymservers are down due to abuse. However, you can use the nym or weasel (newnym style) nymservers. The cyber nymserver is quite reliable for outgoing mail (which is what's measured here), but is exhibiting serious reliability problems for incoming mail. The squirrel and winsock remailers accept PGP encrypted mail only. 403 Permission denied errors have been caused by a flaky disk on the Berkeley WWW server. This seems to be fixed now. The penet remailer is closed.

Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

Data Fellows and Nokia Secure Wireless Corporate Intranet Access
by Ari Hypponen 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

March 17, 1997 Data Fellows and Nokia Secure Wireless Corporate Intranet Access - Improved security enables GSM operators to connect Intranets (Hannover, March 17, 1997) Data Fellows and Nokia Telecommunications have signed an agreement to integrate Data Fellows' award winning F-Secure VPN encryption software into Nokia's Artus wireless data networking solutions. The Nokia Artus solution enables GSM operators to offer secure corporate Intranet solutions, without the requirement of using costly leased lines to reach their corporate customers. "Weakness of remote access security has discouraged remote access to corporate networks. In partnership with Data Fellows we can now provide GSM operators with an IP networking solution which meets the strict security requirements of corporate IT managers. This means new business for GSM networks," said Petri Pöyhönen, Vice President, Wireless Data Server Systems at Nokia Telecommunications. "Intranet remote access outsourced to GSM operators represents an important market restructuring. In the context of Nokia's Artus Managed Internet Access Point (IAP) networking solution, we can see immediate potential of leveraging our encryption technology already widely used for LAN interconnect," said Risto Siilasmaa, Managing Director at Data Fellows. Data Fellows' F-Secure VPN encrypts and compresses TCP/IP packets transmitted over public data networks to private corporate networks. Military-strength cryptographic security of F-Secure VPN prevents malicious access to the transferred information. Encryption is implemented at transport layer and is thus transparent for applications. A major business potential for wireless operators is to further extend corporate Intranets to the world of wireless coverage. This enables businesses to increase their efficiency by ensuring their staff secure, wireless connectivity to their e-mail, groupware and corporate database resources. Remote access to corporate data resources has been traditionally implemented in corporate premises with dial-in modems. Corporate IT can now outsource this costly telecom access technology to GSM operators and operate in a clean IP protocol environment. Remote access becomes as simple as LAN interconnect. In the interest of future market compatibility, Data Fellows and Nokia are both committed to following the emerging open IP security standards. Data Fellows is a software development company with offices in San Jose, California, and Helsinki, Finland. Data Fellows is a technology leader in its major business areas of anti-virus, data security and cryptography software. F-secure products have won several awards over the past several months. These have included the HOT Product 1997 Award from Data Communication magazine, Best New Networking Product from LAN Magazine and the Grand Award in the European IT Prize competition. Data Fellows is privately held. Annual growth in net sales has been over 100% since the company was founded in 1988. Nokia is a Finland-based telecommunications group with a net sales of USD 8.5 billion in 1996. Nokia has approximately 31,000 employees world-wide. Nokia is one of the two largest GSM/DCS suppliers in the world and the leader in wireless data solutions. Nokia Telecommunications' Information Networking Systems division develops, implements, and markets systems based on Internet technologies to telecommunications operators.
