Have you read about this from the beginning?  If so, you'd know that Mike
Best is not the one claiming that the GCHQ slide is real.  He is trying to
establish whether nearly anyone could have made the slide with the logs
Cryptome leaked/distributed/whatever, unwittingly or otherwise.  That's
all, and I don't know how a researcher trying to verify data has become a
giant shitstorm.

Look, Cryptome did fuck up. First, by keeping logs for more than a day
or so, whatever necessary for debugging and responding to attacks.
Second, by sending them to a third party. And third, by being so obtuse
with that third party that he felt compelled to publish them.

You'll never catch me slamming Snowden or defending JYA ;) And I gotta
say, Cloudflare starts looking good when your site is getting DOSed.

Bullshit, mostly ;)

Maybe because Mike _published_ the fucking logs, just because JYA was
doing the mirror shades thing about whether the archive was or was not
genuine? I mean, JYA can be a very funny man. For sure. But does that
justify publishing Cryptome access logs?

I published them to verify the data, *AFTER JYA publicly accused me of
FAKING it.* I only raised the point of the logs because of the GCHQ slide. *If
*John had verified it a week earlier, or not accused me of faking data
(with ZERO evidence, and the data turns out to be legit) *they never
would've been published. *

When the logs have been distributed by Cryptome via USB and torrents as
part of the archive for over a year?  Yeah, it's fair game.

Note that he removed those files once JY finally gave an explanation.

Publishing them was still unwarranted. You could have published a
redacted version. You could have polled this list, and verified selected
lines. Whatever. Yes, JYA was being a jerk. But still ...

*Umm, I *did* post a redacted version first.* JYA said it was faked
and refused to verify it until days after it had been published in its
entirety. I even told him before hand that if he didn't verify it, I'd
have to post it. He still called it disinfo and fake until well after
it'd been released and confirmed as the files being un multiple
releases, including an old torrent.

If that's true, JYA was being either unimaginably stupid, or
unimaginably weird. Still, there was no need to publish the logs just to
make a point. Redacted excerpts and hashes of the files would have been
enough, no?

> Note that he removed those files once JY finally gave an explanation.

True. But publishing them was still unwarranted.
