For once in their miserable life, REASON actually justified its pathetic existence! https://reason.com/2011/02/03/julian-assange-and-israel-sham/ Shame that moron, Jeremy Hammond, wasn't paying attention.

Doug sez we don't deserve plain speech - I disagree violently. Its cryptoanarchy, not quantum-fucking-gravity. Oh, and BTW - to repeat for the DEAF and fucking DUMB - Reposts are not endorsements. This means they're supplied ' as is " Take it or leave it. Cypherpunks write plain prose.

vmyths - 3m You could start by bricking every iPhone purchased in Russia that’s now in Ukraine Quote Tweet Tim Cook @tim_cook · 3h I am deeply concerned with the situation in Ukraine. We’re doing all we can for our teams there and will be supporting local humanitarian efforts. I am thinking of the people who are right now in harm’s way and joining all those calling for peace.

Threatpost: Samsung Screwed Up Encryption on 100M Phones

Threatpost: Samsung Screwed Up Encryption on 100M Phones. https://threatpost.com/samsung-shattered-encryption-on-100m-phones/178606/ One cryptography expert said that ‘serious flaws’ in the way Samsung phones encrypt sensitive material, as revealed by academics, are ’embarrassingly bad.’ Samsung shipped an estimated 100 million smartphones with botched encryption, including models ranging from the 2017 Galaxy S8 on up to last year’s Galaxy S21. Researchers at Tel Aviv University found what they called “severe” cryptographic design flaws that could have let attackers siphon the devices’ hardware-based cryptographic keys: keys that unlock the treasure trove of security-critical data that’s found in smartphones. What’s more, cyber attackers could even exploit Samsung’s cryptographic missteps – since addressed in multiple CVEs – to downgrade a device’s security protocols. That would set up a phone to be vulnerable to future attacks: a practice known as IV (initialization vector) reuse attacks. IV reuse attacks screw with the encryption randomization that ensures that even if multiple messages with identical plaintext are encrypted, the generated corresponding ciphertexts will each be distinct.

John Young - architect of garbage
by professor rat 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

No one disputing JYA published a racist letter calling for the deaths of ' 20 million mud-people ' then? No one disputing he appeared more than once on Alex Jones execrable YouTube abomination? That he's a self-described Marxist? All public knowledge - all out in the open ( OSINT ) No one defending this patent, piece-of-shit architect for Rupert Murdoch? Speak plainly. Speak freely. He was a longtime cypherpunk once.

" . . . Thank you for this post, prof if not the others (Roark would be a more interesting architect at which to diatribe). ..." I deny any diatribe against JYA - I laid out some pertinent public facts on that perp. That's all. We report - you decide. If Roark is a fictional character by that Zeynep-Ahole-style lunatic, Ayn Rand, then he self-destructs himself. GIGO. All advice is bad - good advice is fatal ( Oscar Wilde ) " . . . Anyway, unrelated matters aside, being unrelated as they are, could you please explain more of this post/domain's provenance? I am much against Putin in this matter (and Luka-needs-to-be-shanked'-o) but ya know I'm completely unfamiliar with pramen.io (looks akin to Ramen noodles, ioerror, etc.) so I was wondering if you could do a professorial monologue thing that at least for the most part sticks to the topic of this URL's provenance, thanks again, flattery, etc. I can ghostwrite for money an essay in the blue book during the finals or whatever, o profound . . ." You sound as loopy as Karl Semich. Get help. Also for other morons on this list - REPOSTS are NOT ENDORSEMENTS! Jesus Fucking Christie

just the thing for grancrap NATO
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 25 Feb '22

I'm not much of a fan of corbett, but this talk has interesting and important background information regarding all the attacks of the jew-US nazis since ~2013 in ukraine, which are of course the context for the current russian response https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/qfc084-ukraine.mp3 For instance, the pro-jew-US-nazi ukrainian government was supposed to give autonomy to the parts of ukraine that just seceded, but never did. Surprising! Also, that same government was pretty much a typical jew-US-nazi puppet government, put in place after the jew-US-nazis carried their 'euromaidan' 'revolution'. poor NATO agent grancrap, trying to pose as 'anarchist' just like his coworkers bell and professor turd...
