Predictions regarding Simon and Speck for 2019
by Ryan Carboni 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

It has recently come to my attention that "Notes on the design and analysis of Simon and Speck" ( https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/560.pdf ) was published. Thus I have decided to encrypt a message using this page ( https://web.archive.org/web/20161211164439/http://www.movable-type.co.uk/sc… ) with a key generated by keypass pattern "H(15)" (15 lowercase hexadecimal). I plan on releasing the key in the early part of 2019 Block XXTEA is not trivially bruteforced with no "cribs" so here's my predictions for 2019:

Kelley, US District Attorney Pacific, including most of the federal court authorizations after US business hours; facilitated laundering and illegal wiretap facility Guam & Hawaii (& Japan) + processing covered by Hawaii National Guard, proxied laundering by ficticious "Kingdom" and papered events including Snowden, Greenwald, 9/11, etc. Clarence M.

James Kelley, did JFK as Secret Service operations director, father of {Thomas Patrick Colleen Tom DavidJ Steve Gary} Kelley. Colleen M.

Your plug does not mention the rather public (but only for those following the Hungarian debate) stoush between Orban and George Soros. George Soros is widely thought to attack civil society in Hungary and many other countries around the world via the NGO's in the respective countries that he financies through his Open Societies Foundation (may not be exact name sorry). We in the West are well trained in "shouting down" any action which "does not match Western values" which we are well indoctrinated in - "democracy" (for some would say strange values of 'democracy') - open societies (for those who still believe in "democracy" and the endless march of internationalism) - the ultimate sanctity of NGO's that have no transparency about their funding, nor their intentions, and notwithstanding their actions which may well be directly opposed to the interests of the majority in a given country - e.g. the conservative "we don't want unlimited refugees from countries where no real vetting can occur" that is just recently begun to be prosecuted by the UN, e.g.: http://www.barenakedislam.com/2017/06/09/do-it-european-union-threatens-leg… http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/817289/poland-fight-eu-penalty-european… http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260392/muslim-madness-merkel-daniel-greenfi… How's the European Unity working for ya anyway?: http://journal-neo.org/2017/06/04/europe-of-two-speeds-implies-there-s-infe… We speak rather arrogantly in the West, treating Liberalism as unassailably good, yet the superficiality of our MSM driven discourse rarely acknowledges that the desire for a conservative community is not only a natural and acceptable desire, and widespread across the world, but does not mean that those who express such desires are bigots, and most fundamentally, the hypocritical ignoring of the facts that "global homogeneity" is the opposite of "preserving diversity", that if you don't stand for something, you fall for anything. For too often, a thread, a position, a "certainty" is presented with no heed whatsoever to genuine and real concerns to the contrary. Such gets tiresome.

What if my hypothesis regarding Snowden is correct?
by Ryan Carboni 18 Jun '17

18 Jun '17

The hypothesis being that Snowden is at least a triple agent. Ali Mohammed provided material support to Al Qaeda, but that was because he betrayed both the Army and Al Qaeda for the CIA. His sentencing has been on hold for a long time, and it is interesting no one asks questions about it. If one was to look for information about my hypothesis, what would one find? https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ The implants are configured to communicate via HTTPS with the webserver of a cover domain; each operation utilizing these implants has a separate cover domain and the infrastructure can handle any number of cover domains. Each cover domain resolves to an IP address that is located at a commercial VPS (Virtual Private Server) provider. The public-facing server forwards all incoming traffic via a VPN to a 'Blot' server that handles actual connection requests from clients. It is setup for optional SSL client authentication: if a client sends a valid client certificate (only implants can do that), the connection is forwarded to the 'Honeycomb' toolserver that communicates with the implant; if a valid certificate is missing (which is the case if someone tries to open the cover domain website by accident), the traffic is forwarded to a cover server that delivers an unsuspicious looking website. --- Snowden's revelations increased the amount of encryption. However the NSA already collects a great amount of information through other means. For reasons unknown, much of the Snowden documents are classified at Talent Keyhole, which is explained at ( http://electrospaces.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-us-classification-system.html ). Although overclassification is typical, afterall, many of the "secret" paragraphs are really FOUO because they are used in the private sector already ( https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3546567-10th-Anniversary-Edition-EP… ), the thing is that this implies the NSA collects data through means unhindered by encryption. Which makes "Practical-Titled Attack on AES-128 Using Chosen-Text Relations" all the more concerning. Why mock side channel cryptanalysis? Furthermore, Github has made accidentally publishing your shared secret very easy. https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=remove+password&type=Commits&ref… Many cases where AWS refunds thousands of dollars of fraud because someone accidentally publishes a Github key. To think that could be millions of dollars a week. Just refunding fraud. Naturally official CIA documentation would not suggest committing a crime, that would be like putting login settings to the production database into the tutorial ( https://np.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/6ez8ag/accidentally_dest… ). Interestingly, insecure defaults imperil national security: https://theintercept.com/2017/05/11/nyu-accidentally-exposed-military-code-… . Regardless, you can still troll the NSA. They couldn't even design the Clipper chip correctly. Anyway, this modified limited hangout phrase is some really high level linguistics. Really complex, seems to intentionally prevent the reader from seeing patterns.

There is no such thing as "average". Umm sooo... Governments around the world trying their hardest to shutdown amazing cool nascent technologies that many of you cryptographers develop, thus have a personal interest in seeing prosper... such as Decentralized Digital Currencies... and the only thing you muster to say is... "What's average" and walk away from the table when the life of your offspring becomes political?!?! Yeah, that's average. If you put even far less than 1/100 of the time spent researching, coding, debugging your offspring... into supporting it politically... it might actually survive past the age of 10. If not, it won't. That's child abuse. # "Donations" - Finance, Securities, Investment, Insurance, Real Estate, Lawyers Grassley https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?type=C&cid=n00001758… Feinstein https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?type=C&cid=n00007364… Cornyn https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?type=C&cid=n00024852… Whitehouse https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?type=C&cid=n00027533… These people and entities are lost, scared, lack understanding, and see only one path... reactionary against. Reach out and give them community, philosophy, alternative directions, the whole deal. https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/member-lookup.php https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials/ Or as some have done regarding crypto messaging like Signal, simply show them how to accept / hide crypto donations to the point that hobbling Digital Currencies would prevent certain of their own uses.

[WAR] Ukraine speaks to Donbass republics
by Zenaan Harkness 16 Jun '17

Some know well that Ukraine is currently run by a bunch of dastardly rebels who have no respect for their own population, let alone other humans such as the grandmother in the event below. Yes, Ukraine is a failed state. Yes it's another class act by the CIA and the Bilderberger cabal. It's hard to not be moved by such sad facts: Ukrainian sniper kills 78-year-old grandmother in broad daylight: http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/06/ukrainian-sniper-kills-78-year-old.html I spose we're sposed to say "rah rah USA, go CIA!" or something... Same with Libyia, Iraq, Syria, Afganistan, Yugoslavia, Somalia ... "rah rah CIA, go go USA". At least the USA has achieved global hegemonic power and control and a currency so stable it'll be another 100 years before the next "great depression" . . .
