[OT] [song] Galaxy Song - Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
by Cecilia Tanaka 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

The stars are so beautiful... :) [bcc] Thank you for always inspiring me, Solstag. I love and miss you a lot. Paris is more beautiful now and Sao Paulo, a bit sadder. :'( ====== *"Galaxy Song" - Monty Python's The Meaning of Life* https://youtu.be/buqtdpuZxvk Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough, Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at 900 miles an hour. It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, The sun that is the source of all our power. Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day, In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars; It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side; It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point, We go 'round every two hundred million years; And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. -- "The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented."

CCC-TV: Bootstraping a slightly more secure laptop with Heads (not Tails)

Review: "Bootstrapping a slightly more secure laptop" by @qrs under-promises and over-delivers." ~Dino A. Dai Zovi, Co-founder & CTO @ Capsule8 https://twitter.com/dinodaizovi > Heads is an open source custom firmware and OS configuration for > laptops and servers that aims to provide slightly better physical > security and protection for data on the system. Unlike Tails, which > aims to be a stateless OS that leaves no trace on the computer of its > presence, Heads is intended for the case where you need to store data > and state on the computer.

Google plugs severe Android vulnerability that exposed devices to spying
by Razer 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Malicious power chargers too! The internet of things hates you. Google has shut down a "high-severity" exploit in its Nexus 6 and 6P phones which gave attackers with USB access the opportunity to take over the onboard modem during boot-up—allowing them to listen in on phonecalls, or intercept mobile data packets. The vulnerability was part of a cluster of security holes found by security researchers at IBM's X-Force all related to a flaw—tagged CVE-2016-8467—in the phones' bootmode, which uses malware-infected PCs and malicious power chargers to access hidden USB interfaces. Patches were rolled out before the vulnerabilities were made public, in November for the Nexus 6, and January for the 6P. The exploit also allowed access to find the phone's "exact GPS coordinates with detailed satellite information, place phone calls, steal call information, and access or change nonvolatile items or the EFS partition." It was complex to activate, requiring the victim to have Android Debug Bridge (ADB) enabled on their devices—a debugging mode used by developers to load APKs onto Android phones—and to have manually authorised ADB connectivity with the infected PC or charger. However, according to the researchers, there were significant workarounds. More: http://arstechnica.com/security/2017/01/google-plugs-severe-android-bootmod…

Seeking for banking privacy for a US based client
by The Janitor 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hello cyperpunks! I assist people in protecting their privacy in both the online and offline worlds and I had a request from a client in the USA that I cannot figure out. I'm hoping that some of you great thinkers here will be able to help. The client is seeking a non-US bank account, preferably but not necessarily in Europe, with a bank that will allow him to set up the account with little to no document verification. I know this is a tall order and likely not possible but I am asking anyway. He does not seek to do anything illegal with the account (he wants to purchase Bitcoin and a few other things) but simply wants to protect his anonymity. Can anyone assist?
