Vids ;) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: tor_talk(a)arcor.de Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 03:46:18 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [tor-talk] Tor ExitNode with solar powered drone and by protection from church like kopimism To: tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org Hi Tor Talkers, i saw the bags of #WeWillRebuild and the general problem for a Tor ExitNode at home the thoughts === why don't you put it to a drone or two, one drone to do the ExitNode and the second for the solar power? that couldn't be that heavy a drone can't carry even when you can add a chainsaw to a drone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Viwwetf0gU Flying chainsaw or to lift 33kg/72,7Lb beer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf6JKJyFLVI Heavy Lift 1135mm 33kg Hobby King Beer Lift the drone(s) must not fly all the time if you have a place it/they could stay put and out of reach (that avoids the noise the drones make, too) if you look a bit paranoia do a alarm system on it so you get a notice if your drones get touched maybe you can extend the distance with some literally bridges like wlan/handy/burners depending on the country you need a license to fly a drone or/and an insurance or/and to be a member of an air/flying association to cover the damage your drone might do to others when it isn't that save for the drone during a windstorm === another thought is more handycrafty put the exit node in a thing that fits in the surroundings outside the home (stone, tree, grass) with a 3D printer you easily get the best fit === there is a library project, too https://libraryfreedomproject.org/torexitpilotphase1/ at last they need more popularity https://www.propublica.org/article/library-support-anonymous-internet-brows… Faced with police and city concerns, library director Fleming agreed to turn off the Tor relay temporarily until the board could reconsider. “We need to find out what the community thinks,” he said. “The only groups that have been represented so far are the Police Department and City Hall.” Jacob did some Tor Exits in museum, i heard of. perhaps some churches , art galleries or med clinics will spend asyl for Tor, too. the church kopimism will do that, i suppose so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopimism The Church, based in Sweden, has been officially recognized by the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency as a religious community, after three application attempts. perhaps there are other Tor user/exitnods protective synergetic effects by the one or other constitution. so the time you spend to avoid law enforcement at home you could spend to persuade someone but the person must do that on free will not while you have induced your will to the person. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Can't quite call him punk, yet. https://www.rt.com/news/338641-russia-austria-cooperation-military/ 'Russia closer to Austria than other major world powers' - head of Austrian General Staff in Moscow Published time: 6 Apr, 2016 12:46 " Vienna’s top military figure noted that one of the reasons for his visit to the Russian capital was to disobey others’ orders. “I’m not going to carry out instructions and follow orders on who's worth talking to and who's not. That’s exactly the reason why I decided to pay you a visit,” Austrian General Staff Lieutenant-General Othmar Commenda said at a meeting with the chief of Russia's General Staff, First Deputy Defense Minister Valery Gerasimov.

You thought it was just your local ISP messing with your HTTP traffic
by Rayzer 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

From February this year: Website-Targeted False Content Injection by Network Operators Gabi Nakibly1,3, Jaime Schcolnik2, and Yossi Rubin3 1 Computer Science Department, Technion, Haifa, Israel 2Computer Science Department, Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Israel 3Rafael – Advanced Defense Systems, Haifa, Israel Over the last few years there have been numerous reports of ISPs that alter or proxy their customers’ traffic, including, for example, CMA Communications in 2013 [6], Comcast in 2012 [16], Mediacom in 2011 [9], WOW! in 2008 [27], and Rogers in 2007 [32]. Moreover, several extensive studies have brought the details of this practice to light [17, 30, 25, 35]. The main motivations of ISPs to alter traffic are to facilitate caching, inject advertisements into DNS and HTTP error messages, and compress or transcode content. All of these reports and studies found that these traffic alterations were carried out exclusively by edge ISPs,namely, retail ISPs that sell Internet access directly to end customers, and are their “first hop” to the Internet. This finding stems from the server-centric approach the above studies have taken. In this approach, one or a handful of servers are deployed to deliver specific content to users, after which a large number of clients are solicited to fetch that content from the servers. Finally, an agent on the clients – usually a JavaScript delivered by the server itself – looks for deviations between the content delivered by the server and that displayed to the user. Figure 1(a)illustrates the traffic monitored in this server-centric approach. Such an approach can be used to inspect the traffic of many clients from diverse geographies who are served by different edge ISPs. The main disadvantage of this approach is that the content fetched by the clients is very specific. All clients fetch the same content from the same web servers. This allows only the detection of network entities that aim to modify all of the Internet traffic1 of a predetermined set of users and are generally oblivious to the actual content delivered to the user. Such entities indeed tend to be edge ISPs that target only the traffic of their customers. In this work we show that the above approach misses a substantial portion of the on-path entities that modify traffic on the Internet. Using extensive observations over a period of several weeks, we analyzed petabits of Internet traffic carrying varied content delivered by servers having over 1.5 million distinct IP addresses. We newly reveal several network operators that modify traffic not limited to a specific set of users. Such network operators alter Internet traffic on the basis of its content, primarily by the website a user visits. The traffic of every Internet user that traverses these network operators is susceptible to alteration." www.arxiv.org/pdf/1602.07128v1.pdf -- RR "Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ...

As opposed to having it confiscated pending potentially 2^128 time. Where is the principled stand there? [2][4] [1] This happened while he was detained outside / away from control of his systems. [2] He "may now have to get rid of his computers because he can't be sure what the police did to them [3]". For which giving passwords had no purpose but to nullify a potentially good test case, trample rights and replace "innocent till guilty" with "violated, chilled, innocent for now, while Cardinal Richelieu's database hums... ... If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, whether or not I find something in them which will hang him, I will database them and own his soul forever."
