NSA Security Manual
You realize, of course, that by posting the manual verbatim you have allowed them to discover where the leak was. They have the ability to change the wording slightly on every document, so that when you quote the document they can discover who gave it to you. That is why newspapers no longer report quotes from documents that they have, or never show pictures of secret documents. Then again, for something as simple as a manual, they may not bother to change each one. But the capability exists. user@host.domain.site <- This sort of manual is never seeded. I'm sure the NSA will fuss because there has been a technical violation, but in the grand scheme of things this is not a major concern except the the extent it shows that an individual has the moral ability to release the stuff to the public. The information itself is not damning but law enforcement tends to frown on the CONCEPT of such releases. If it were seeded, Grady never would have been called. ./ -uni- (Dark)

Could someone e-mail the manual to me. I accidentally deleted the posting of it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Al Billings aka Grendel Grettisson | Internet: mimir@illuminati.io.com | | Nerd-Alberich - Lord of the Nerd-Alfar | Sysop of The Sacred Grove | | Admin for Troth, the Asatru E-mail List| (206)322-5450 | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
