It seems that the forementioned files never made it to the list (at least as echoed by infinity.nus.sg), as a result of being filtered out somewhere along the way due to their excessive size. Realizing that this was likely the result of filtering for the benefit of list members, so that they would not be stuck with wasting their resources downloading large amounts of tripe by] spamming assholes, I consulted John Gilmore as to what action to take on this matter. John informed me that one thing he learned from Dimitri was that, "The Spammer interprets filtering as common-sense, and routes around it." Accordingly, I have broken the files down into FDR1.txt --> FDR8.txt, so that the lack of AOL'ers competent enough to seriously piss off list members would not lead to VeteranAryan CypherPunks forgetting about the GoodOldDays (TM), when we had Sandy Sandfort to kick around for attempting to put a stop to this kind of bullshit.

"Bernardo B. Terrado" wrote: > A virus uses encryption to hide itself (correct?), > but will the files in a pc be safe from virus when encrypted? why? a virus can be encrypted or it could leave itself open. usaually the first. it all depends on the combination of what virus and encryption software you use. Many times a virus will infect by waiting for you to open a file (run, copy, move) when it sees a file open it will add itself to the end and then move the start of the program to the virus. When the program is executed it jumps to the virus who loads itself into memory and then jumps seamlessly to the beginning of the program, unperceptibly( if done right) If your files are encrypted by a program that stays in memory and lets programs run like normal a virus will run like normal. If you have an uninfected file PGPed when you extract a copy it will become infected like a normal file however the pgp file will not be infected. If the encryption is built into the program and has a checksum you will be notified if it is infected but if it just runs a decryption routine and then starts the program then it could be infected before the decryption routine. in general if you can read/write a file so can a virus. If you are worried about infection, get an uninfected copy and make a detached pgp .sig then run it on your computer in a batch file so pgp checks the signature before it runs. if pgp fails the sig. your program is infected each virus is unique and acts differently, remember they are just written like normal programs. If you are indepth interested, search for a virus authors page. Anti-virus people are vague so you don't figure out how to make one but a virus author will probably have guides on how to make a virus. This gives you intimate knowledge of a virus's abilities. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

And though the murderers may escape the just resentment of an enraged people; though drowsy justice, intoxicated by the poisonous draught prepared for her cup, still nods upon her rotten seat, yet be assured such complicated crimes will meet their due reward. Standing armies are sometimes (I would by no means say generally, much less universally) composed of persons who have rendered themselves unfit to live in civil society; who have no other motives of conduct than those which a desire of the present gratification of their passions suggests; who have no property in any country; men who have given up their own liberties, and envy those who enjoy liberty; who are equally indifferent to the glory of a George or a Louis; who, for the addition of one penny a day to their wages, would desert from the Christian cross and fight under the crescent of the Turkish Sultan. From such men as these, what has not a State to fear? With such as these, usurping Caesar passed the Rubicon; with such as these, he humbled mighty Rome, and forced the mistress of the world to own a master in a traitor. These are the men whom sceptred robbers now employ to frustrate the designs of God, and render vain the bounties which his gracious hand pours indiscriminately upon his creatures. By these the miserable slaves in Turkey, Persia, and many other extensive countries, are rendered truly wretched, though their air is salubrious, and their soil luxuriously fertile. By these, France and Spain, though blessed by nature with all that administers to the convenience of life, have been reduced to that contemptible state in which they now appear But since standing armies are so hurtful to a State, perhaps my countrymen may demand some substitute, some other means of rendering us secure against the incursions of a foreign enemy. But can you be one moment at a loss? Will not a well-disciplined militia afford you ample security against foreign foes? We want not courage; it is discipline alone in which we are exceeded by the most formidable troops that ever trod the earth. A well-disciplined militia is a safe, an honorable guard to a community like this, whose inhabitants are by nature brave, and are laudably tenacious of that freedom in which they were born. >From a well-regulated militia we have nothing to fear; their interest is the same with that of the State. When a country is invaded, the militia are ready to appear in its defense; they march into the field with that fortitude which a consciousness of the justice of their cause inspires; they do not jeopard their lives for a master who considers them only as the instruments of his ambition, and whom they regard only as the daily dispenser of the scanty pittance of bread and water. No; they fight for their houses, their lands, for their wives, their children; for all who claim the tenderest names, and are held dearest in their hearts; they fight pro aris et focis, for their liberty, and for themselves, and for their God. I cannot here forbear noticing the signal manner in which the designs of those who wish not well to us have been discovered. The dark deeds of a treacherous cabal have been brought to public view. ou now know the serpents who, whilst cherished in your bosoms, were darting the envenomed stings into the vitals of the constitution. But the representatives of the people have fixed a mark on these ungrateful monsters, Surely you never will tamely suffer this country to be a den of thieves. Break in sunder, with noble disdain, the bonds with which the Philistines have bound you. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed, by the soft arts of luxury and effeminacy, into the pit digged for your destruction. Despise the glare of wealth. That people who pay greater respect to a wealthy villain than to an honest, upright man in poverty, almost deserve to be enslaved; they plainly show that wealth, however it may be acquired, is, in their esteem, to be preferred to virtue. The virtuous asserter of the rights of mankind merits a reward, which even a want of success in his endeavors to save his country, the heaviest misfortune which can befall a genuine patriot, cannot entirely prevent him from receiving. {Timothy McVeigh - sog} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Secret Service the start of the Spanish-American War led to the first legal use of the Secret Service for Presidential protection. A detail of four agents, operating under special emergency was fund, was assigned to the Executive Mansion to guard McKinley around the clock. They were stationed on the first and second floors of the Mansion and on the White House grounds. [13] [13 During the Spanish-American War, the Secret Service also served as the primary intelligence agency for the War Departnent. It gathered intelligence and conducted counter espionage activities both domestically and abroad.] 72 After the war, Secret Service operatives continued to serve at the White House at least part of the time. In addition, operatives regularly accompanied McKinley during his travels. With the expiration of the emergency war fund these activities once again exceeded the Secret Service's statutory authority. However, Secret Service Chief John Wilkie felt obligated to provide the protection anyway. President McKinley received a large number of threats, which seemed particularly credible in light of a series of political assassinations that took place in Europe during this period. In 1901, President McKinley was shot and fatally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz while standing in a receiving line at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New ork. Three Secret Service operatives were guarding him at the time, along with eighteen exposition policemen, eleven members of the Coast Guard, and four Buffalo city detectives. One of the Secret Service operatives was out of position when Czolgosz approached President McKinley, because the president of the exposition d requested the spot directly next to MdCinley, where the operative normally stood. , in 1906, Congress quietly included language in the Sundry Civil Expenses Act authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to use funds for "the protection of theperson of the President of the United States." {Treasury=Money=Illuminatti - sog} Since the Secret Service was officially authorized to provide protective services in 1906, only one person has been killed under its watch - President John F. Kennedy, who was fatally wounded by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in a motorcade through Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. Since the inception of the Secret Service, however, there also have been six other potentially deadly assaults on Secret Service protectees. The first occurred on February 1, 1933, in Miami, Florida Giuseppe Zangara fired five shots a President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was making an impromptu speech while sitting in an open car that had stopped momentarily. Although none of the shots hit President Roosevelt, Zangara mortally wounded Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago, and hit four other people, including a Secret Service agent.

Pegasus email, internal DES encryption?
by M Taylor 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've been sent this requst indirectly, and thought it best to forward it to these lists, anonymously. I will forward any replies to the original sender. -M Taylor ------------------- Hi guys. Sorry that this is a little off topic, but I figure that here is my best chance to find this information, all other resources (save damned reverse engineering) having been exhausted. If you have used Pegasus mail before, you would know that it provides an internal encryption function. This is some form of DES, accourding to their web site, and is presumably < 40 bits, as they quite happily allow worldwide downloads of the binard from the US. However, actual details on which form of DES, and how they turn an input password into a key were not supplied. Now, my company decided that this encryption was just dandy for security, and that everyone should use it for all encrypted mail. This, along with their idiocies about passwords used have me quite annoyed - but that is *far* from the point of this. What I am wanting to do, so as not to have to give up my nice, efficient unix mailer, while retaining the abilitiy to work with others is implement (or locate an implementation of) the Pegasus encryption, and then do a little hacking and add that to my mailer. The main problem is: no idea what the format of the DES used is. So, if anyone could supply me with a simple answer to this question, I would be very apreciative. Thanks, xxxx
