A follow up on the LEO hit of Cryptome on 4 June 2002 referred from http://home.leo.gov/rollcall/internet_tips/2002/tip_060302.htm Here's the LEO website: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/leo.htm Activities described on this site appear to contradict recent congressional testimony by the FBI director and SA Rowley about the bureau's Internet ineptitude and out-of-date telecomm capabilities. Thanks to SC for the LEO pointer, who also writes: ----- Just thought I'd follow up on the referer hit from leo.gov. I scanned the leo.gov subnet from 4.21.116.1 on up to 4.21.116.254. The dns name for 4.21.116.1 is genuity-gw1.leo.gov -- probably the gateway which Genuity government ISP http://www.genuity.com/services/government/security.htm has set up to route traffic to and from the LEO system. Genuity appear to have quite the e-government business going. Your tax dollars at work. All of the "security" which the FBI talks about on its LEO page http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/leo_sorum_intvue.htm is probably just them throwing money at Genuity's rebranding of out-of-the-box VPN stuff from Alcatel and Nortel. VPNs and complex passwords and a special email server so their jokes don't get lost -- what will they think of next we are left asking. An expensive lame-net for people who think they're working if they click around on their computer screen between meetings with software vendors. The lame commentary from the FBI suit on the LEO page would tend to confirm this. Sounds like the bureacrats everywhere who feel that they are doing their job if they are spending money justifying their job title. -----
