The Crypto Applications we would rather not talk about
Anonymous remailer and PGP Unusual applications I dont know if anyone else caught it last year but High Times discovered anonymous remailers and PGP for an article last year for anonymous remote control of grow rooms. PGP Wins again? and lately the thule people(bigoted and racist Nazis) have been learning to protect themselves also according to news reports from germany. Crypto and Privacy tools protect everyone from the hero to the anti-hero... the technology itself is neutral I wonder how long it will be before we hear news reports of some of the governments people being caught using internet casinos from the white house network. On other notes CCCF(the chaos computer club France) was shown to have had a high level plant from the french intel services, The founder of the CCCF himself. this story seems to repeat itself over and over when you are doing something of which the authorities DONT approve they WILL attempt to infiltrate and subvert from the inside. The answers are there and have been published in most books on tradecraft, 3 person cells organized as pyramids. Anonymous remail tech and crypto make this system possible with out Face to face contact. When does this lesson finally get learned? anon

Unfortunately, the technology's appearance is distinctly angled toward the anti-hero. One, because the benefits are more obvious to the anti-hero; and two, because the abuse of technology gets better press than its use, particularly in the get-tough-on-crime era.

I've read only fictional accounts about the 3-person cell. Any pointers to nonfiction material? "Tradecraft" didn't seem to be the magic keyword in the local card catalog. nathan
