the intercept - US military propaganda outlet

https://theintercept.com/2018/07/18/mueller-indictment-russian-hackers/ "someone reportedly logged into the @Guccifer_2 Twitter account without connecting to a VPN service first, revealing their real IP address." sure. it was 'their' 'real' 'address'! The KGB address! oh and the "russians" can't buy nor mine bitcoins anonymously. The russian govt can't get $50 in bitcoin without trump knowing it. Russians are terribly stupid. Like when they poisoned an 'ex' spy using a poison gas that 'only' russians can manufacture. Oh and the guy who did the poisoning didnt realize that his KGB business card fell off his pocket. So that was another clue for the sherlock holmes.

We must preserve the Cypherpunks Mailing List archives! IMPORTANT!
by Tom Busby 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I've written a blog post about this with further details if anyone is interested: https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/blog/2018/07/05/the-cypherpunks-mailing-list-arc… The primary reason I'm sending this email is to appeal to those of you who have been active on the list since before July 2013 (when the switch to GNU Mailman occurred) and to those of you who know now-inactive subscribers who may also have this information. There is a total black hole in terms of available archived threads from early 1999 to mid 2013. I've contacted the guy who ran the al-qaeda.net node and dug around in the way back machine trying to locate these archives. No luck so far. I'm worried this information will be lost permanently if a concerted effort isn't made to preserve it now, while *some* of it is perhaps still preserved on people's hard drives. I have no doubt that some (maybe most) of the threads from the early 2000s may already be lost permanently. Please get in touch if you think you can help out at all. Tom Busby

After being pulled over, the officer asked to search his car; Montanez refused, so the officer held him until a drug dog was brought in to give the officer enough probable cause to search the vehicle. They found a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, which they used to arrest Montenez, but they asked to search his two cellphones, which he also refused. They were able to secure a warrant for those as well, but Montenez claimed he had forgotten his password. The result: Montanez is being held in contempt of court and is serving a six-month jail sentence. "I don't know the code, sir," he stated. So the judge found him in civil contempt and threw him in jail. http://www.decidethefuture.org/

Well, I agree that this kind of case ought to be pre-empted by the Fifth Amendment. And I say that as a person who has spent many thousands of hours in a (prison) law library. However, law sometimes takes a long time to come to that correct conclusion. There was a SC case in 2000, called Kyllo, which prohibited the use of thermal IR viewing to develop probable cause, for example in marijuana grow cases. Kyllo v. United States The SC came to the correct conclusion, though I disagreed with the reasoning they used. (it depended on their NON-understanding of the science and technology of thermal-IR viewing.) Similarly, in 2012, the SC decided that it was necessary to get a warrant for placing a GPS device on a car, to "following it around". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Jones That, despite the argument that the information collected could, in theory, have been collected merely by placing a cop on every streetcorner, and then taking records. The contrary argument prevailed. I agreed with the contrary argument: In principle, I think that as a society, we don't want to operate on a principle that every new technology should automatically be useable against people. One can imagine a technology someday usable, which takes a continuous movie from, say, a vantage a few hundred miles up (using multiple passing satellites) of any given city. Would police be right if they consulted such a movie for evidence of a moving vehicle? Even more recently, just a month ago, the SC decided a case involving cell-phone metadata, and tracking people by their cell phones. They decided that such were "searches" and thus a warrant was required. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/22/politics/supreme-court-ruling-cell-phone/ind… I also agreed with this decision.

I feel very sad :(

So I just came across https://www.ssh.com/ssh/port on HN. And read: | On July 12, 1995, at 2:32am, I announced a final beta version to | my beta testers at Helsinki University of Technology. At 5:23pm I | announced ssh-1.0.0 packages to my beta testers. At 5:51pm on | July 12, 1995, I sent an announcement about SSH (Secure Shell) to | the cypherpunks(a)toad.com mailing list. I also posted it to a few | newsgroups, mailing lists, and directly to selected people who | had discussed related topics on the Internet. The only list he mentions by name is this one! That's just fucking sad.
