We do live in interesting times. this is why we must destroy the deep state: a controlled demolition is more humane for all than a catastrophic deterioration! note that the hardest part of this imperative left unsaid: replacing the current social and macroeconomic realities with a sustainable state-free and deep-state-free society. good luck, earth humans! :)

To be sure, sometimes I have too much faith* in people and not enough foresight. *Faith re: my expectations, not necessarily their righteousness or any judgment on others Regardless of how many people saw it and didn't report it, I think everyone can agree that we all wish this had worked out more quietly and with less friction. --Michael the Fallible, First of His Name, King of the Fools and the Blind Men.

Fwd: [Gsmmap] How much of the IMSI Catcher Score can be derived WITHOUT a mobile phone ?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steve Glass <stevie.glass(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2015 08:14:47 +1000 Subject: Re: [Gsmmap] How much of the IMSI Catcher Score can be derived WITHOUT a mobile phone ? An SDR can, in theory, capture more information that is just available to the phone and can do so passively. Many of the same metrics apply but can be derived from other traffic, e.g., for C1 the presence of any unencrypted traffic on any channel in countries where traffic is normally encrypted is a big giveaway. Passively monitoring traffic gives a more complete picture. It is, however, a game that a much smaller number of participants can play because the hardware requirements are for a suitable SDR rather than just a Qualcomm-equiped Android phone.

New signals handbook for small teams (free)
by wirelesswarrior＠Safe-mail.net 17 Oct '15

This series of handbooks is an attempt to provide a set of guidelines for effective tactical use of radios among small units, that will be universally relevant. This first volume, Volume One, focuses on handheld team and squad level radios. This is information everyone in a unit should know. It covers the fundamentals, and progresses to more advanced information. It is in PDF form. Let me know what you think of it. http://www.warriortalk.com/showthread.php?124519-New-signals-handbook-for-s…

If anyone here had enough sense to be Machiavellian about coming after me or my data, then I wouldn't be half as frustrated with some of the behavior on this list. Not even any Machiavelli wannabes, just children throwing tantrums when their beliefs or idols are challenged.

Any "greatest generation" cypherpunks in the OSS?
by Michael Best 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

If anyone knows anything about, or can recommend any sources on, the cypherpunk equivalents (and related missions) in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS - the WW2 predecessor to CIG which basically became CIA in '47) please let me know. To be relevant to my research, it needs to be OSS related. Venona, Enigma et al are interesting and historically relevant, but right now my focus is limited to OSS. So far, the most interesting thing I've come across is the Tizard Mission by Stephen Phelps... unfortunately for me, it's more Britain and navy oriented than OSS, and the surveillance issues are more aerial/naval than cypherpunk-y. Since it's interesting nonetheless, I figured I'd share the link and summary along with my request for help. http://www.amazon.com/The-Tizard-Mission-Top-Secret-Operation/dp/159416116X Unknown to the rest of the world, Britain’s brightest scientific and > military minds had been working on futuristic technology for a decade, > including radar and jet propulsion.
