I reflected upon that after I had already run my mouth about it. It didn't seem to be presented as a quote, or a "look at this BS I found!" post. As I said, I'd basically ignored it until others began commenting about who was/was not on the list. > > > I noticed eugen, too!

Looking at it the other way: which set might include people like coderman, Jim Bell, Brian Carroll... mk @ desu = liberté. Nadim K? If this is someone else's list, it makes no sense to me that coderman would be on it (if it were indeed a list of "crackpots and cranks.") He files a lot of FOIA requests, and that probably irks a fair number of people with an interest in keeping the info hidden. Jim: he needs no further explanation. A glorious thorn in the side of a bunch of people would couldn't deserve it more. And, so on... It could be some kind of tactic to attempt to squelch voices of dissent/advocates of crypto, sure. They've been doing such things long before Snowden found out about it. Perhaps if I ask nicely, coderman will enlighten us as to whether this filter is a list of his own or a random pastebin he happened upon? -S > > > > >> On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 11:50 AM, Seth <list(a)sysfu.com> wrote: > >> > >> > On Fri, 23 Oct 2015 01:59:51 -0700, coderman <coderman(a)gmail.com> > >> wrote: > >> > > >> > http://pastebin.com/Wy98Q3TJ > >> >> > >> >> --- > >> >> > >> >> Email filter update. > >> >> This is a list with trolls, troublemakers and other nuts mostly on the > >> >> security mailing lists.

Suggest High-Signal Crew Ditch This for Reddit
by Cathal Garvey 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Not gonna screed about this, anyone who feels about this shit like I do is probably going to get this already. CPunks is more noise than signal, even if the signal part is pretty good. Reddit is the only open source SocNet, and has topic-based enclosure (so no more firehose of stupidity on one's inbox) and downvoting to remove the idiocy if users set their clients to remove low-rated posts. I'm ditching this list, but see the higher-signal folks on Reddit at: reddit.com/r/crypto reddit.com/r/cypherpunks reddit.com/r/privacy Y'all can find me at /u/cathalgarvey if so inclined. It's been fun seeing people piss at one another about who's more native American, and who's a secret RU/GCHQ/NSA plant (hint: probably 80% of the active posters here). Peace out, Cathal

Re: [tor-dev] Effect of padding on end to end correlation false positive rate

If yes, how? > [1]: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/traffic-correlation-using-netflows My thought was solely restricted to analysis of network traffic by *passive* adversary... not involving any collusion by actives over circuits they can see inside or pump within any given onion layer, though clocked and checked network fill by all proper nodes would inhibit pumping by actives. I talked on list with someone at briarproject and wherever else on idea of filling the network with traffic vs the passives. Apologize for not making time to review Mike's proposal or develop further talk yet. Someone will review / integrate fill padding of network with regard anonbib, Mike's, etc I'm sure, as it is clearly (to me at least) a weakness of non-filled non-store-and-forward networks vs the passives which we all know and love.

State of the art in malware owning human?
by Georgi Guninski 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

What is the state of the art in malware owning the human, not just the box? ...or DoS the human, making them inoperable. Maybe it is something like 25th frame, possibly with auditory vector. Or better remote hypnosis. IIRC on some forum about epilepsy someone posted ``weird image'' which causes severe crisis in some epileptics of certain form. Some info about 25th frame: http://strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/parameters/articles/98spring… --- According to Solntsev, one computer virus capable of affecting a person's psyche is Russian Virus 666. It manifests itself in every 25th frame of a visual display, where it produces a combination of colors that allegedly put computer operators into a trance. The subconscious perception of the new pattern eventually results in arrhythmia of the heart. Other Russian computer specialists, not just Solntsev, talk openly about this "25th frame effect" and its ability to subtly manage a computer user's perceptions. The purpose of this technique is to inject a thought into the viewer's subconscious. It may remind some of the subliminal advertising controversy in the United States in the late 1950s. --- F-secure claims: Russian Virus 666 There is no virus by this name. IIRC spammers used it for spam in animated images http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/9712/17/video.seizures.update/ Japanese cartoon triggers seizures in hundreds of children

USA government debt ceiling
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Oct '15

USA gov froze its government debt in March this year since they hit the 'statutory maximum' of $18,113,000,080,959.35 (yep, and the 35c). USGov is now in an extraordinary measures situation to be looked at again October 30, 2015. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/150-days-treasury-say… This has happened a few times before, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_debt_ceiling but I wonder if there are some real limits being reached, where they'll be unable to practically raise the USGov debt ceiling? Anyone have further info on this?

National security religion current world malware leader. Consecrated in 1947, fastest spreading global cult of carnage fed by stupendous growth of spying and armaments industries. Bloodthirsty, vicious, insane with maximum killing machines against infidels who refuse to tithe, obey, excuse, honor and applaud worst earth and human destructors ever. Nobody exempt from sacrifice at the altar of stand-off scripture of privileging laws and economics. And condoned by gutless humor, idiotic cynicism, flacid critique. This Halloween lick the spookily sacred Arlington gravestones, the spooky stars on the sacrificial hero wall.

"use cookies to identify tor users when they are not using tor" what !? the cookie monster? "How does tor handle dns requests? Are dns requests goin through tor? --- current : still investigating". So, that's allegedly a 'top secret' nsa document dated june 2012 showing that the top master hackers don't even know the basics of the protocol? Please. "what do we know about hidden services? current : no effort by nsa" Sure. None. Nada. Nothing. "can we exploit nodes. probably not. legal and technical challenges". ... Well, boys nothing to see here. The government is completly inept AND, of course, they 'respect the law'. Whatever that is. Somebody was talking about moles?
