I admiss I didn't like Boyce, Dani Moth, Quinn and Ted's messages, but I am not "making excuses" for their country, Juan. Ted was the most aggressive of all and I think he was talking only about Zenaan and you, but he seems _a lot_ the kind of guy who shoots in someone's head saying that some people "deserves" it for being different. I was really shocked after reading his messages. Boyce's act of banning was disgusting, but what really upset me was the "rape apology" stuff. It was completely unnecessary and pretty sick knowing my past and details of my present. But, well, everybody knows his ego is much bigger than his intelligence. He is an intelligent guy, but is very pretentious. It always was usual inside Tor Project core team. He follows their patterns. In that occasion, I admiss I hoped sincerely that Boyce and Dani Moth were raped twice each one, because only a person who _really_ was raped can be completely sure that making "rape apology" always will be impossible for me. I love sex. Rape is not sex, it is violence, fury, torture. It's dark. It is to feel a dark and deep fear of death. Usually, I don't feel fear of death. It is the only certainty in this uncertain life. I swear I felt the same desperate fear of death when I was raped. Nobody deserves to feel this kind of despair. I was angry in that occasion and I sincerely apologize for wishing something so cruel for Boyce and Dani. I regret it a lot and ask pardon for being like them. It is not correct at all. Quinn is intolerant and has narrow patterns of decency, but he is a good person and I like him, Juan. You are not exactly tolerant and open-minded too, haha!! ;D > > [Cecilia] It would not be rational to hate USA for killing my family. > > "a 2015 Pew Research Center survey finds that the share of Americans who believe the use of nuclear weapons was justified is now 56%, with 34% saying it was not. " Sorry, I don't believe in all researches because I have lots of researchers as friends and colleagues and I was a researcher in several moments of my life too, my dear Juan. And you know, I am terribly hard headed like you, haha!! ;D http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-real-reason-america-used-nuclear-weapons-a… It was a political decision, not military, Juan. In all the countries, in all the places, the problem is the government, not the people. Few stupid and cruel politicians killed my family, not the North American people. There are lots of infinitely sad ghosts stories in Hiroshima. Shadows and eternal crying... I sincerely hope these sad ghosts haunt all the cruel politicians who decided to play with human lives. My migraine is still killing me and my mood is really bad. I don't like drugs, but tried a lots of medicines for pain in last days. My hard head and I think they didn't work, haha!! ;D I bet you will feel envy now, Juan. Coconut ice cream and sweet corn ice cream, nom nom... Trying usual food will be a disaster. Ice cream is a good choice when feeling sick. My mood will be better soon, hihi... <3 I was thinking about lemon and ginger popsicles, much better for sickness, but they had only creamy ice creams now. So, I will make tea. Hot and cold together, hihi... <3 You are a good person, my dear Juan. I was wrong about Razer and you being a couple in love. Now I hope you, Razer and Mirimir can make a lovely ménage à trois and being happy forever, hahaha!!! ;D Nope, I am sick and you are too far to kick my butt like a soccer ball... and Messi is not playing anymore, hahaha!! ;D

As I said in the previous post, security is more than just a fancy name and a lot of marketing, you have to actually make an effort to make it secure. Oh, and given that this looks like a repeat of the same flaws from three years ago, patching your insecure code also helps. Peter.

Jerry Leichter <leichter(a)lrw.com> writes: >Lessons? Generality and power lead (to complexity, which is the enemy of >security. I think a more direct lesson here is that taking a security mechanism that consists of a bit flag used to tag a block of memory, defining any such tagged area as secure by executive fiat, and selling it as TrustZone, is no match for, you know, actually doing real security. It's not like this hasn't happened before, in 2013 Motorola cellphones got 0wned via attackers targeting the insecure TrustZone and attacking from inside that out to the (apparently) quite secure non-TrustZone code.

Android Full Disk Encryption Broken - Extracting Qualcomm's KeyMaster Keys

http://bits-please.blogspot.fr/2016/06/extracting-qualcomms-keymaster-keys.… https://github.com/laginimaineb/ExtractKeyMaster https://github.com/laginimaineb/android_fde_bruteforce https://github.com/laginimaineb?tab=repositories In this blog post, I'll demonstrate how TrustZone kernel code-execution can be used to effectively break Android's Full Disk Encryption (FDE) scheme. We'll also see some of the inherent issues stemming from the design of Android's FDE scheme, even without any TrustZone vulnerability. A couple of months ago the highly-publicised case of Apple vs. FBI brought attention to the topic of privacy - especially in the context of mobile devices... Full disk encryption is used world-wide, and can sometimes be instrumental to ensuring the privacy of people's most intimate pieces of information. As we've seen, the current encryption scheme... can be hacked by an adversary or even broken by the OEMs...

[OT] Five Simple Rules
by Cecilia Tanaka 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Most of all know about my love for fun subjects, like Law, comics, music, open data and Astronomy. Below, a small excerpt of Neil deGrasse Tyson's last speech in the new "Cosmos" series. It is really beautiful and inspiring not only for researchers, but for everybody who wants to search for truth. "How did we, tiny creatures living on that speck of dust, ever manage to figure out how to send spacecraft outer among the stars of the milky way? Only a few centuries ago, a mere second of the cosmic time. We knew nothing of where and when we were. Oblivious to the rest of the cosmos, we inhabited a kind of prison, a tiny universe bounded by a nutshell. How did we escape from the prison? It was the work of generation of searchers, who took 5 simple rules to heart. Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so, including me. Think for yourself. Question yourself. Don't believe anything just because you want to. Believing something doesn't make it so. Test ideas, by the evidence gained from observation and experiment. If a favorite idea fails a well designed test, it's wrong. Get over it. Follow the evidence, were ever it leads. If you have no evidence, reserve judgement. And perhaps even the most important rule of all, remember you could be wrong. Even the best scientist have been wrong about somethings. Newton, Einstein, and ever other great scientist in history. They all made mistakes. Of course they did, their were human."
