FBI hacking powers expanded to, well, everyone...
by Razer 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

DailyDot: "An effort to block expansion of government hacking powers failed on Wednesday, ushering in a new era of uncertainty for digital privacy. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) attempted to block changes to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, approved by the Supreme Court in April, that will allow judges to issue search warrants that give the FBI authority to remotely access devices in any jurisdiction, or even outside the United States. Ordinarily, magistrate judges may only issue warrants for cases within their jurisdiction. The changes allow investigators to access devices whose locations are “concealed through technological means”—such as the Tor anonymity network or virtual private networks (VPNs)—or devices that are used in botnets. The DOJ argues that it needs these powers to investigate modern internet criminals, like pedophiles who conceal their identities to trade in sexualized images of children or discuss their abuse, and hackers' botnets that have become powerful cyberweapons. In short, the rule changes free federal investigators from geography to match the global nature of the internet itself..."

New Firefox/TorBrowser 0day in the wild

"This is an Javascript exploit actively used against TorBrowser NOW. It consists of one HTML and one CSS file, both pasted below and also de-obscured. The exact functionality is unknown but it's getting access to "VirtualAlloc" in "kernel32.dll" and goes from there. Please fix ASAP. I had to break the "thecode" line in two in order to post, remove ' + ' in the middle to restore it." https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-November/042639.html -- Kind regards, Ben Mezger

Anyone know whos CCs get through, and whos don't? Evidently some (or all) of mine do not come through, such as my CC to Mirimir on the email below. Riad, what's the status (I've also CCed you on this email)?

> John Newman: > read the links you sent? They ar as Zordon suggested "Zwallys team calculated that the mass gain from the thickening of East Antarctica remained steady from 1992 to 2008 at 200 billion tons per year, while the ice losses from the coastal regions of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula increased by 65 billion tons per year" "They also used information on snow accumulation for tens of thousands of years, derived by other scientists from ice cores, to conclude that East Antarctica has been thickening for a very long time" > full of shit Like when say oposight of what is said, lol

free speech champignons, Charlie Hebdo launches German language edition
by Zenaan Harkness 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

The right to mock, satire and poke fun at everything is one of the great litmus tests of our right of free speech. Charlie Hebdo hit the headlines for the wrong right reasons last year, sadly, and so the continuation and internationalization of this bastion is a great day indeed. Hopefully we will see some more insanity from the German government in the weeks to come, as Charlie Hebdo takes on Sultan Erdogan. One hopes they will do an English language print version also, for me - so that I can read it. Because you know winners like me are the most important pople in the world, especially lauded in my humility classes - to which you might as well sign up now :-D Charlie Hebdo Launches German Edition, Merkel Front Cover http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/11/29/charlie-hebdo-launches-german-ed… https://charliehebdo.fr/ https://charliehebdo.fr/en/ -- Certified (R) Deplorable (TM) Fake News (TM) Which Hunter (C) Executive Director.Vice, Ministry of Winning Shilling for buxom Russian swastika clad minxes (C) 1988

Neutralize ME firmware on SandyBridge and IvyBridge platforms
by qubenix 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hello, I'm new to the list. Here is my first contribution. Neutralize ME firmware on SandyBridge and IvyBridge platforms - http://hardenedlinux.org/firmware/2016/11/17/neutralize_ME_firmware_on_sand… "... The Intel Management Engine with its proprietary firmware has complete access to and control over the PC: it can power on or shut down the PC, read all open files, examine all running applications, track all keys pressed and mouse movements, and even capture or display images on the screen. And it has a network interface that is demonstrably insecure, which can allow an attacker on the network to inject rootkits that completely compromise the PC and can report to the attacker all activities performed on the PC. It is a threat to freedom, security, and privacy that can’t be ignored. ..." Https is also working, but cert is for Github and needs an exception. I guess the site is hosted from github.io or something. Anyway I don't like to promote the blind acceptance of warned certs, and I have no way to verify the fingerprint. So at your own risk... -- qubenix GPG: B536812904D455B491DCDCDD04BE1E61A3C2E500
