Hacker Group Dark Overlord Threatens to Dump Insurance Files Related to 9/11 Attacks
by Razer 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

> "A spokesperson for the Hiscox Group confirmed to Motherboard that the hackers had breached a law firm that advised the company, and likely stolen files related to litigation around the 9/11 attacks. "On Monday, New Year’s Eve, a hacker group announced it had breached a law firm handling cases related to the September 11 attacks, and threatened to publicly release a large cache of related internal files unless their ransom demands were met. The news is the latest public extortion attempt from the group known as The Dark Overlord, which has previously targeted a production studio working for Netflix, as well as a host of medical centres and private businesses across the United States. The announcement also signals a slight evolution in The Dark Overlord’s strategy, which has expanded on leveraging the media to exert pressure on victims, to now distributing its threats and stolen data in a wider fashion.

Zeller-Nikolov: hard-surfaced solar body average temperature determined by distance(Sun) and atmospheric pressure
by Zenaan Harkness 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

TLDR: Venus has 2,412 times more carbon dioxide than Earth measured as a percentage of its atmosphere, and this CO2 has no measurable effects on Venusian average long-term temperature according to many repeated technical reviews of the data supporting this simple formula. Only distance from the Sun and atmospheric pressure (of hard- surfaced bodies such as the moon and earth) determine long term average temperatures. CO2 has no measurable direct effect on planetary temperature. Put a snowflake in their flunky place today - present a fact :) Burn those "fossil" fuels baby, yee haw! ----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2018 19:23:48 +1000 Subject: The Zeller-Nikolov climate discovery may turn the world upside down *The Zeller-Nikolov climate discovery may turn the world upside down.* https://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Zeller-Nikolov-climate-by-Christopher… Nature created the fundamental mathematical relationship now known as E=mc2. A mathematical finding, if proven valid, is a real phenomenon; as real as finding a diamond in a river bed. Nature creates fundamental mathematical relationships; humans only discover them. The straightforward and crystal-clear mathematical discovery by Dr. Karl Zeller and Dr. Ned Nikolov has many enemies. If their finding is proven accurate, it could bankrupt the wind and solar industries and put heavy pressure on politicians to end biofuel mandates. It would embarrass most politicians and almost all climate scientists, even those who believe carbon dioxide has no significant effect on Earth temperatures. The Zeller-Nikolov climate finding uses official NASA data to quantify the average temperatures of the hard-surfaced satellite bodies orbiting our Sun. The formula is not applicable to the gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Zeller and Nikolov claim to be able to determine the long-term average temperature of Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan (a moon of Saturn), and Triton (a moon of Neptune) by using just two informational values: their distance from the Sun and their atmospheric pressure. Zeller and Nikolov have found that the gaseous composition of atmospheres is immaterial to determining long-term average temperatures. For example, the atmosphere of Venus is composed of 96.5% carbon dioxide, while Earth's atmosphere contains only .04% carbon dioxide, yet those vast differences are irrelevant to the mathematical calculations required to determine average temperatures. This mathematical proof tells us that even though Venus has 2,412 times more carbon dioxide than Earth measured as a percentage of its atmosphere, that CO2 has no measurable effects on its average long-term temperature. Zeller and Nikolov claim that carbon dioxide and all the other atmospheric gases only contribute to temperature by their physical mass and resultant atmospheric pressure. They point out that their predictions for planets and moons are accurate to within one degree Celsius, a confidence-inspiring finding so precise that coincidence can reasonably be ruled out. The Zeller-Nikolov discovery means that Earth's atmosphere keeps us warm via gas-compression heating under the weight of Earth's approximately 300-mile-thick atmosphere, not by the greenhouse effect. An actual greenhouse has a glass wall enclosing it. Earth has no enclosure and is open to space, so the two scientists suggest that the term "greenhouse effect" be replaced by "atmospheric thermal enhancement." Heat is created by compressing atmospheric gases through the pull of gravity. Similarly, in a diesel engine a piston is used to compress gases to generate enough heat to eliminate the need for a spark plug. The tremendous gravitational pull on the enormous mass of Earth's atmosphere combined with solar radiation warms our planet just enough to allow carbon-based life forms to flourish. If carbon dioxide was the powerful greenhouse gas alarmists claim it to be, the calculations for Venus would have to be dramatically different than the calculations for Earth, but they are the same. This tells us that CO2 has no measurable direct effect on planetary temperature, which makes perfect sense as the Earth has experienced severe ice ages when atmospheric CO2 levels were many times higher than they are today. The carbon dioxide-driven greenhouse gas *theory* Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first proposed in 1896 has never been proven valid by empirical testing. Svante's ideas sounded plausible, so people accepted them without proof. More recently, American politicians literally ordered the IPCC to burn through enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars concocting wild and fanciful computer-model projections based on Svante's assumptions. As the old computer-programming saying goes, "garbage in, garbage out" (GIGO). All of the IPCC's doomsday climate predictions have failed to materialize despite our heavily biased media's best efforts to distort and exaggerate. Ordinary summer heat waves and winter storm activity has been falsely portrayed as precursors to the end of the world, which will certainly come unless we elect more Democrats. Climate gurus keep pushing the date of catastrophe into the future because the global doom they keep predicting never arrives. What has arrived are ordinary and expected minor fluctuations in Earth's climate that have been going on since Earth was formed. Ask yourself, when did the Earth have a climate that was more pleasant and beneficial to mankind than the climate we have today? The honest answer is simply *never*. Despite multiple technical reviews by scientists around the world, no one has found error in Zeller and Nikolov's mathematical formulas and specific computations. Objections raised against their discovery are largely that it does not fit accepted climate theories that are professionally and politically popular. Climate science has become an Orwellian tool of political power and an enormous money-making profession for scientists, professors, universities, state and federal government employees, and a thousand and one green-scam businesses. Just think of all the billions of dollars being spent on "global warming" and the mandated false remedies. No doom equals no costly remedies and no profits for those selling fear. Real scientists know that you cannot control the weather with windmills and solar panels any more than you can control the weather with bowling balls and statues of dead politicians, yet the costly and impractical renewable-energy fad continues. Crony capitalists and ambitious but scientifically naive politicians from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to Beto O'Rourke, to billionaire Michael Bloomberg want taxpayers to spend trillions of dollars on energy schemes that have already raised the cost of food and energy all over the world. This has harmed the world's poor far more than the wealthy, the very opposite of what liberals are supposed to stand for. Now they want us to dramatically escalate our war against the carbon atom, the very element all our food and our own bodies are made of. Carbon creatures fighting carbon; human events rarely get more twisted and surreal than this. ----- End forwarded message -----

Anyone's taobios-v2.tar.bz2
by grarpamp 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

https://threatpost.com/uefi-rootkit-sednit/140420/ Researchers hunting cyber-espionage group Sednit (an APT also known as Sofacy, Fancy Bear and APT28) say they have discovered the first-ever instance of a rootkit targeting the Windows Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) in successful attacks. From a report: The discussion of Sednit was part of the 35C3 conference, and a session given by Frederic Vachon, a malware researcher at ESET who published a technical write-up on his findings earlier this fall [PDF]. During his session, Vachon said that finding a rootkit targeting a system's UEFI is significant, given that rootkit malware programs can survive on the motherboard's flash memory, giving it both persistence and stealth. "UEFI rootkits have been researched and discussed heavily in the past few years, but sparse evidence has been presented of real campaigns actively trying to compromise systems at this level," he said. The rootkit is named LoJax. The name is a nod to the underlying code, which is a modified version of Absolute Software's LoJack recovery software for laptops. The purpose of the legitimate LoJack software is to help victims of a stolen laptop be able to access their PC without tipping off the bad guys who stole it. It hides on a system's UEFI and stealthily beacons its whereabouts back to the owner for possible physical recovery of the laptop. The notion that any closed source SW or HW blob, even a BIOS, by whatever ridiculously secretive and unknown companies, partnered with and employing whatever other unknowns, let alone in any new codebase such as UEFI or *Lake or Ryzen or Phone... that you can't inspect however and whenever the fuck you want... is somehow secure, open, trustable, and miraculously free from holes, exploits, and exploitation... is utterly ridiculous. Doesn't matter whether "taobios" was fake or not, you're all still fucked. #OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenSW , #OpenDev , #OpenBiz

There are probably lots of ways out there. Even maybe something like "getstrike" and "strike-search" API. > My question is about the status of uses of Torrent on Onion, > not for "content downloading" but for index tracking: "index tracking" seems a nonsensical mashup. Though one might say something like "publishing realtime torrent scrape info from trackers on index sites". Definitions... Index - Stupid forums where users publish descriptions for their infohash'es aka: torrent files, the scene. Rarely do centralized indexes use efficient plaintext search and insert interfaces instead of blingy forums and risk. Tracker - Leet tech that clients connect to to find nodes by infohash, ie: DHT, PEX, OpenTracker Client - transmission-bt, vuze, etc Protected - All traffic stays entirely within the overlay network. Exit - Some or all traffic may "exit" to clearnet > - Are there stable / long term Torrent Trackers running on Onion Addresses? Yes, and i2p etc too. Yet trackers are just bittorrent tech. So there are plenty of indexes as well. Most of the indexes are multihomed from clearnet, some exist only in the overlays. > - How many Torrent Software natively do support > Tor and Onion Addresses, > only for Trackers Assuming you're using tor+onioncat p2p v2 onions with v2 HSDir support, that yields ability to transport UDP over IPv6 over tor (many bittorrent protocols use or require UDP)... Thus all clients that support IPV6 can work over "Tor and Onion Addresses". Native .onion support (TCP only, no IP) is not as simple. Nor is split horizon exit or full exit. Same for trying to get TOR space to interop with I2P space or CJDNS space, client multihoming, etc. > (not for content-download-upload-exchange)? This is moot as typical users don't run their clients just look at the scrape, they do it to seed and leech. Which of course they can do 24x365 over both tor and i2p, and other overlay networks. And due to rampant censorship and loss of free speech on clearnet they are doing it more and more. See all the recent bans by Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc etc etc. The overlays are now the only reasonably safe spaces for free speech to thrive. That's sad. Users may also want to look at DTube, IPFS, Brave Browser, BitChute Webtorrent, lists of p2p apps and overlay networks, distributed file sharing and storage, blockchain and cryptocurrency, etc for other ideas and things to read and try. Lots of new protected overlay networks and apps are now online, and more will be coming in the years ahead. Things are changing fast.
