The Questionable Observer Detector

January 25, 2011 by Lakshmi Sandhana

Exclusive | Kevin W. Bowyer, Chair of the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana is out to create a tool
to reliably identify criminals who may be hanging out at the crime scene
after the event.

Their Questionable Observer Detector (QuOD) can process any available video
clips of groups of people present at the scene of event, spanning different
times and locations to pick out any person who appears frequently in them.
bThe idea is that the person showing up unusually often as part of the crowd
at these events may be someone that the police would want to talk to,b says
Bowyer.

For instance, if given video clips of the serial bomb attacks currently
plaguing Abuja in Nigeria, the software could identify people appearing
repeatedly, giving authorities leads on either the bombers or their helpers.

Itbs an extremely challenging 3D facial recognition problem, since the system
has no prior database to compare the faces with and works with videos taken
by surveillance cameras and bystanders with their handheld video camera under
any and all conditions. It detects potential suspects by creating individual
bface tracksb for people appearing in every video, comparing them across
videos to zero in on similar looking faces.

It takes the best image from a face track in one video and compares it with
the top images derived from other face tracks in other videos to see if it
can find the same face. When it spots a match, it adds it to a group of video
appearances featuring just that person. It identifies an individual as a
bquestionable observerb if the final number of videos in their personal group
exceeds a particular number, set earlier by authorities. This indicates that
they appear often at numerous crime scenes.  [+]

A research prototype could be ready in less than a year, according to Bowyer,
who hopes to work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the
Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) later on.

Is the QuOD a step further towards the dark picture painted by George Orwell
in his novel 1984 of omnipresent surveillance and pre-emptive arrests? Given
that it is more about handing authorities a tool to identify suspects based
on their actual presence solely at multiple disaster areas, as opposed to
policing people on possible intent (as in the movie Minority Report), the
answer would have to be bno.b [+]

As others pointed out, and as we especially have seen the past 10 and
a half years, laws can easily change.

I too believe it is somewhat necessary to have 'control' over the IPv4
prefix distribution in order for the RIRs to continue being
Registries. I understand and share the RIRs concern regarding this.  I
also do believe we can expend at least two years (just to put a number
out there) more to make a system that is robust also against
censorship, that everybody can feel comfortable to trust. Operational
impact and cost, I believe, will be quite minor during this time.

In fact, I believe it is an investment that apart from being necessary
(IMO), will actually pay off, because only with a system that people
trust, will most network operators enable it by their free will, which
ought to be the goal for *everybody* involved.  (Lest the dystopian
future takes hold, of course.)

Once a reliable system exists, I would be the first one to enable it
on my routers, and wouldn't shed a tear if illegitimately acquired or
traded routing information was lost at that time.

And to be extremely clear, nobody is suggesting that they do not trust
the people working at RIPE or any other RIR to do a good job here but
at the same time, "we are all human".   We have a, in my opinion, very
big responsibility towards future generations in (re-)designing the
Internet in a way that continues to keep it open and robust towards
failures of various sorts.  Even that of a single RIR.

Regards,
Martin

ТЕМА: Оптимальные налоговые схемы с учетом изменений налогового законодательства. Оптимизируем НДФЛ, страховые взносы.  Готовим затратные механизмы в налоговых схемах.

\Моск. код/-4/Ч-5_З_2_.6*6 \\\/// 742/9|98

День1:

Методы оптимизации расходов на выплату белой зарплаты: уменьшаем страховые взносы

Ставка обязательных страховых взносов с зарплаты с 2011 года составляет 34% почти для всех плательщиков (включая субъектов УСН и ЕНВД). При этом регрессивная шкала ЕСН заменена отменой уплаты взносов с суммы дохода свыше 463 тыс. рублей, но доступно это будет только для высокооплачиваемых сотрудников. Если вспомнить про 13% НДФЛ и НДС, который тоже косвенно является налогом на зарплату, то многие предприниматели и руководители видят только один путь √ назад, к "черным" схемам.

Курс посвящен поиску путей выживания компаний в новой ситуации при условии легальности всех выплат доходов физическим лицам. Участники узнают, как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать "зарплатные" налоги с учетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденций развития правоприменительной практики.

Программа:

 * Обзор изменений законодательства, связанных с повышением ставки страховых взносов Сколько и каких налогов и взносов платят предприятия и ИП на общей системе налогообложения и спецрежимах в 2011 гг. Какие схемы стали невыгодными; у каких налогоплательщиков положение даже улучшилось.

 * Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. "Черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы. Классификация методов оптимизации налогообложения доходов физических лиц.

 * Использование специальных налоговых режимов:

 * Условия применения всех схем: Непритворный характер заключаемых сделок. Экономическая целесообразность расходов ("деловая цель", "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций). Грамотное обоснование цен и документальное оформление расходов. Неаффилированность, прямые и косвенные признаки аффилированности, ее негативные последствия и когда она допустима; "искусственное дробление бизнеса с целью уклонения от уплаты налогов" (подход "как к ЮКОСу"); "деловые цели", обосновывающие деление бизнеса. Самостоятельность низконалоговых субъектов.

 * Использование вспомогательных организаций:

 * Использование иностранных (низконалоговых) компаний. Корпоративные или личные пластиковые карты иностранных банков. Перевод на них или на карты российских банков зарплат, гонораров и иных легальных доходов от нерезидентов 

 * Как компенсировать "выпадение" отчислений в Пенсионный фонд на накопительную часть пенсии, в ФСС и ФОМС при применении налоговых схем, не предусматривающих выплату зарплаты.

 * Использование процентных займов от физлиц. Расчет эффективности.

 * Специальные методы. Все виды компенсаций (за несвоевременную выплату заработной платы, за использование личного имущества, за разъездной характер работы, "золотые парашюты" и др.). Выплата арендной платы. Закуп у физлиц ТМЦ. Суточные. Обучение сотрудников с заключением ученического договора, как способ налогового планирования.

 * Потребительское кредитование, компенсация процентов по ипотечным кредитам и другие эффективные способы замены заработной платы безналоговыми источниками материальной выгоды,

 * Создание недоимки по налогам с ФОТ на фирме, не обремененной активами √ пример "серой" схемы (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!), 

 * Способы подтверждения источников крупных расходов физлиц и когда это необходимо.

 * Ответы на вопросы. По желанию √ индивидуальное экспресс-моделирование схем налогового планирования для компаний-участниц семинара.

-----------------------------
День2:

Затратные схемы для оптимизации налогов (НДС, Налог на прибыль)

Программа:

 * Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. Как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать налоги сучетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденцийразвития правоприменения. "Черные", "серые" и "белые"схемы.

 * Кто может быть участником "затратных" схем.

Незаконные варианты: "недобросовестныеналогоплательщики" и контактирующие с ними риск-структуры ("белая"- "серая" - "черная" фирмы). Примеры "серых" схемс применением затратных механизмов (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!). Как нестать "недобросовестным".
 * Варианты затратных механизмов:
 * Виды приемлимых услуг и работ:

Распространенные "плохие" варианты "виртуальных"услуг и работ (информационные, консультационные, маркетинговые, рекламные,ремонт...). Когда они все же допустимы.

 * Минимизация рисков "затратных" схем. "Явныепризнаки налоговой схемы" и как их избегать. Отсутствие фикции. Наличиеделовых целей, "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций. Грамотноеобоснование расходов и цен. Неаффилированность, прямые и косвенные признакиаффилированности, ее негативные последствия и когда она допустима; "искусственноедробление бизнеса с целью уклонения от уплаты налогов" (подход "как кЮКОСу"); деловые цели, обосновывающие деление бизнеса. Самостоятельностьучастников "затратных" схем.

 * Иностранные низконалоговые компании в "затратных"схемах: проценты, роялти, аренда, услуги в России и за ее пределами и т.п.Выбор низконалоговых юрисдикций.

 * Ответы на вопросы. По желанию и при наличиивозможности √ индивидуальное экспресс-моделирование схем налоговогопланирования для компаний-участниц семинара.

Hi Bjarni,

There is a stylometry item in the anonbib where they do statistical
analysis of features of writing style:

http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec2000/full_papers/rao/rao.pdf

I bet these techniques have gotten more powerful as the field of
machine learning has developed, although I don't know if there are
more recent studies of what this means for anonymity.

Hi p2p friends,

We at Shareable are looking for someone to write a how-to article about
how to set up a neighborhood mesh network so neighbors can share
Internet access.

Please contact me if you're interested or know someone who
could do a good job at it.  What's especially appreciated is someone who
has actually set one up or knows someone who has that can be a source.

The article would add to our library of around 80 how-to share guides
including how to start a housing coop, a chicken coop, hold a
free market, share a vegetable garden, start a farmers market and more:

l8 Февраля
(495) 445З266 ; Ч45.39-68

Налоговое планирование в условиях кризиса: как жить без обналички и фирм-однодневок и не разориться
 

1.Что такое "черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы, обналичка, фирма-однодневка ("помойка", "недобросовестный" или "проблемный" налогоплательщик, "фонарь" и т.п.).Как выявить внешнего контрагента-однодневку и исключить отношения с ним.

2.Обналичивание. Для чего используется:
-"черная" зарплата и доходы собственников бизнеса;
-оплата расходов, которые не хочется проводить официально;
-незаконная деятельность (взятки, откаты, финансирование политической деятельности┘);

Законные альтернативы (только для законных целей!):
-зарплата и дивиденды на спецрежимах, выплата процентов, компенсаций, аренда, покупка у физлиц ТМЦ, ИП на ЕНВД или УСН (в т.ч. на патенте) √ как использовать;
-дарение физлицом наличных денег, заработанных в качестве ИП √ легальная альтернатива обналичиванию, дающая безналоговый доход? Текущая ситуация с обложением таких доходов НДФЛ. Получение наличных по чеку на расходы ИП, через личные (карточные) счета, по сделкам с другими ИП, занимающимися розницей, общепитом, услугами населению и т.п.;
-зарплата в большом размере - нулевая ставка страховых взносов;
-платежи от нерезидентов на карты, основания. Аутстафинг от нерезидента;
-перевод расходов в безналичную форму. Представительские расходы.

3.Однодневки. Для чего используются:
-псевдооптимизация НДС и налога на прибыль в отдельных сделках или всей деятельности;
--"серый импорт";
--"серая конвертация";
--незаконная деятельность.

Законные альтернативы однодневкам (только для законных целей!):
-затратные механизмы или трансфертное ценообразование с участием низконалоговых субъектов;
-выявление (создание) покупателей (заказчиков), не нуждающихся в вычете НДС, разделение финансовых потоков "с НДС" и "без НДС";
-простое товарищество с участием субъектов УСН и/или нерезидентов, работа по агентским или комиссионным договорам с ними;
-прямой импорт с использованием или не использованием трансфертных цен и затратных механизмов;
-выплата нерезидентам дивидендов, роялти, процентов вклады в их уставные капиталы, покупка акций, инвестиции и т.п.

4.Расчет налоговой нагрузки на примере. Каковы будут (и будут ли) потери при отказе от "черных" схем. Когда при этом можно даже сэкономить.

Стоимость участия в семинаре 7 900 рублей

Информацию можно получить по телефонам: +7 (495) 7*42_9|/98 ; 4Ч54О95

          Группа предприятий занимается разведением, выращиванием и племенной продажей крупного рогатого скота абердин-ангусской породы. К продаже предлагаются высококлассные животные с подтвержденным генетическим потенциалом и объективной оценочной стоимостью. Животные имеют всю соответствующую сопроводительную документацию, подтверждающую их племенную ценность и качество.
            Скот комолый (безрогий), чёрной масти. У животных короткие, правильно поставленные ноги и хорошо выраженные мясные формы; туловище широкое и глубокое, с ровной линией верха; шея короткая, незаметно сливающаяся с плечом и головой; поясница и крестец хорошо выполнены, мускулатура окорока опускается до скакательного сустава и хорошо развита. Скот быстро и хорошо откармливается и по округлости форм, скороспелости и качеству туш он стоит на первом месте Кожа рыхлая, тонкая, эластичная; костяк животных тонкий и составляет 15 √ 18% веса туши, а жировые прослойки в мускульных волокнах повышают нежность, вкусовые и питательные качества мяса. Мясо отличается мраморностью. При скрещивании с другими породами животные очень хорошо передают потомству мясные качества. Высота в холке 120 √ 150 см; ширина груди 45 √ 65 см; ширина в маклоках 50 √ 60 см; косая длина туловища 135 √ 140 см. Продуктивность: живая масса коров 500 √ 550 кг, быков √ 750 √ 950 килограмм; новорожденных соответственно 16 √ 28 кг. Телят выращивают на подсосе до 8 месяцев, чему способствует сильно развитый материнский инстинкт коров. Среднесуточный прирост 700 √ 800 г, убойный выход 60%. Затраты корма на 1 кг привеса составляют 6.5 кормовых единиц. 
            Племенных быков, так же предлагаемых предприятием на продажу, можно использовать не только в мясном скотоводстве, но и в молочных хозяйствах для скрещивания с коровами молочных пород и получения помесного молодняка, обладающего свойствами мясной породы. 
            Вы можете получить более подробную информацию, фотографии животных и оставить заявку на посещение племенного репродуктора, в котором содержится скот по указанному телефону.

Let's look at this from a different perspective. What level of impairment 
would the feds face if they ordered wide spread
net shut downs.  Do the feds have a big enough network of their own, that 
they can continue to
operate without the commercial nets being up?  I mean they would need to  
declare martial law and coordinate enforcement
activities. Can they do this all via satellite networks?

Also what's to stop the operations staff from saying "no way jose" and  
walking out?


Ok. Let's say they aren't dependent on the net being up. What would the  
scenario look like?

Presumably this would be at a major IX, colo etc? Like say One Wilshire or 
something?
They would show up with several agents, and probably some tech folks. One 
presumes they would have
an injunction or some other legal authority to order you to terminate  
connectivity. This would have to
be spelled out to the letter (terminate all IX traffic, drop all external 
sessions, take down core routers
etc).



> What do you do when you get home to put it back on the air

Put what back on the air? Regional connectivity to let people coordinate a 
revolution? (I'm
dead serious by the way. If things have gotten to the point where the feds 
are shutting down
the net, it's time to follow our founding code:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it 
is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it

Depending on the geography, one could establish some long distance links  
via 802.11/3.65ghz. Hopefully that gear is
already on stand by.

Well I'm a huge data ownership guy and have been preaching to folks the  
importance of self hosting.
Lots of details are on my wiki at  
http://wiki.knownelement.com/index.php/Data_Ownership
So yes, I have the gear in service already doing my hosting. I also run a 
small neighborhood WISP.
I only offer net access via that WISP, but it would be trivial to stand up 
a neighborhood
xmpp/irc/mail/www server in that VLAN. Maybe I should do that now. Get  
people using it
before hand, so it's what they naturally turn to in time of  
distress/disaster. Hmmm....

How much phone service would still work, if the feds hit all the major IX 
points and terminate
connectivity? I seem to recall much discussion about the all IP back bone 
of the various large
carriers (Qwest/ATT).  I guess calls in the same CO and maybe between  
regional CO's might work.

Think of this from a disaster preparedness perspective (ie a major  
earthquake or terrorist attack significantly damages One
Wilshire and/or various  IXes in the bay area).  AT&T has a very large CO 
right next to One Wilshire, with something like 1.5
million  lines terminated in the building. It wouldn't take that much work 
for the FBI to shut those places down if they
felt a significant need to.


Interesting thought exercise. Let's keep the conversation going guys/gals!

ТЕМА: Налоговое планирование в 2011 г. с учетом изменений законодательства (НДФЛ, страховые взносы, затратные механизмы в налоговых схемах) (2 дня)

+7 Московский код: Ч_Ч5/4-0_95 или 445-32-66

День1:

Методы оптимизации расходов на выплату белой зарплаты: как выжить после замены ЕСН страховыми взносами

Ставка обязательных страховых взносов с зарплаты с 2011 года составляет 34% почти для всех плательщиков (включая субъектов УСН и ЕНВД). При этом регрессивная шкала ЕСН заменена отменой уплаты взносов с суммы дохода свыше 463 тыс. рублей, но доступно это будет только для высокооплачиваемых сотрудников. Если вспомнить про 13% НДФЛ и НДС, который тоже косвенно является налогом на зарплату, то многие предприниматели и руководители видят только один путь √ назад, к "черным" схемам.

Курс посвящен поиску путей выживания компаний в новой ситуации при условии легальности всех выплат доходов физическим лицам. Участники узнают, как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать "зарплатные" налоги с учетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденций развития правоприменительной практики.

Программа:

 * Обзор изменений законодательства, связанных с повышением ставки страховых взносов Сколько и каких налогов и взносов платят предприятия и ИП на общей системе налогообложения и спецрежимах в 2011 гг. Какие схемы стали невыгодными; у каких налогоплательщиков положение даже улучшилось.

 * Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. "Черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы. Классификация методов оптимизации налогообложения доходов физических лиц.

 * Использование специальных налоговых режимов:

 * Условия применения всех схем: Непритворный характер заключаемых сделок. Экономическая целесообразность расходов ("деловая цель", "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций). Грамотное обоснование цен и документальное оформление расходов. Неаффилированность, прямые и косвенные признаки аффилированности, ее негативные последствия и когда она допустима; "искусственное дробление бизнеса с целью уклонения от уплаты налогов" (подход "как к ЮКОСу"); "деловые цели", обосновывающие деление бизнеса. Самостоятельность низконалоговых субъектов.

 * Использование вспомогательных организаций:

 * Использование иностранных (низконалоговых) компаний. Корпоративные или личные пластиковые карты иностранных банков. Перевод на них или на карты российских банков зарплат, гонораров и иных легальных доходов от нерезидентов 

 * Как компенсировать "выпадение" отчислений в Пенсионный фонд на накопительную часть пенсии, в ФСС и ФОМС при применении налоговых схем, не предусматривающих выплату зарплаты.

 * Использование процентных займов от физлиц. Расчет эффективности.

 * Специальные методы. Все виды компенсаций (за несвоевременную выплату заработной платы, за использование личного имущества, за разъездной характер работы, "золотые парашюты" и др.). Выплата арендной платы. Закуп у физлиц ТМЦ. Суточные. Обучение сотрудников с заключением ученического договора, как способ налогового планирования.

 * Потребительское кредитование, компенсация процентов по ипотечным кредитам и другие эффективные способы замены заработной платы безналоговыми источниками материальной выгоды,

 * Создание недоимки по налогам с ФОТ на фирме, не обремененной активами √ пример "серой" схемы (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!), 

 * Способы подтверждения источников крупных расходов физлиц и когда это необходимо.

 * Ответы на вопросы. По желанию √ индивидуальное экспресс-моделирование схем налогового планирования для компаний-участниц семинара.

День2:

Варианты затратных схем. Оптимизируем НДС и налога на прибыль

Программа:

 * Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. Как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать налоги сучетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденцийразвития правоприменения. "Черные", "серые" и "белые"схемы.

 * Кто может быть участником "затратных" схем.

Незаконные варианты: "недобросовестныеналогоплательщики" и контактирующие с ними риск-структуры ("белая"- "серая" - "черная" фирмы). Примеры "серых" схемс применением затратных механизмов (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!). Как нестать "недобросовестным".
 * Варианты затратных механизмов:
 * Виды приемлимых услуг и работ:

Распространенные "плохие" варианты "виртуальных"услуг и работ (информационные, консультационные, маркетинговые, рекламные,ремонт...). Когда они все же допустимы.

 * Минимизация рисков "затратных" схем. "Явныепризнаки налоговой схемы" и как их избегать. Отсутствие фикции. Наличиеделовых целей, "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций.

There are a couple main types of use cases for this kind of capability:
A) emergency situations of various types like the Egypt blackout and
B) getting communication and sharing working in more misc. ambient conditions (poor coverage in a building, on the train, etc.).

There is a big use case for this that will give it a workout that is sort 
of a simulation of the first of these and with a good need for the second: 
Burning Man.  Many people in a refugee-like camp, no commercial wireless or 
land line, a desire to communicate in various ways, a high percentage of 
techies with smart phones, all running an experiment for a week.  Seems 
like a perfect testing ground.  We have 6 months to be ready.

I hereby declare project: "Egyptian Light" (to counter blackouts everywhere 
;-) ).  The point of this is to shamelessly combine every existing 
technology that provides a piece of this and then fill in the missing 
pieces.
Even better:
http://egypt.annourbis.com/egyptian-gods.html
Chons - "Egyptian god of light in the night... he also held the titles 
Embracer, Pathfinder, and Defender, as he was thought to watch over night 
travelers. As the god of light in the night, Chons was invoked to protect 
against wild animals, increase male virility, and to aid with healing."

chons.org is now registered.  Now, how is it pronounced??

There has been plenty of work with open source cell networks, etc.  I 
haven't seen anything usable about hand-held mesh and/or store and forward 
capability yet.  Ideally, you'd use bluetooth when in close proximity, with 
Wifi / cell for uplink, with Wifi also being used for wider proximity 
connections.  The store and forward capability could be kind of cool.  
Limit it to SMS-like messages, enforce flow control, then floodcast, 
possibly with fuzzy geo-routing, as necessary for both unicast and 
broadcast messages.  Get all roving vehicles to run store and forward 
nodes.  Include time synchronization, then implement radio control for 
prairie dog activation for both battery conservation and channel 
multiplexing.

The biggest hurdle will be security, including detecting and defeating jamming and spoofing of various types.

I'm most interested in an Android solution that will work on most devices.  
Not only are they easier to hack, more open, easier to run untrusted apps, 
etc., but some of us are building a collection of obsolete devices that 
would be cool to use for this.

Unfortunately, my pattern is full for a bit.  But before BM2011, hopefully it will be far along.

ORCHID address space is perfect for this type of thing, and there are
particular extensions well suited to this. [0][1]

not to any noteworthy degree. the attempts have been numerous in both
commercial and research focus.

given the number of ad-hoc routing protocols, developers capable of
understanding the merits and detriments of general approaches and
specific implementations, and certainly not least of all the
difficulty in early-adoption of such a Metcalfe utility dependent
"collaborative transport" is quite difficult.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ad_hoc_routing_protocols



as for my druthers i am keenly interested in combined topologies and
overlays leveraging the distinct advantages of particular transports
together for a best effort, immediately accessible ad-hoc
infrastructure. leased circuits and dedicated fiber continued to work
in Egypt; a BGP4 peering blackout is just a small slice of the overall
communication stacks and paths.
(you can run E-Line/E-LAN over free space optics as easily as MPLS /
WDM lambdas over fiber, multi-OFDMA wide band systems can be
aggregated over polarizations and center bands, etc, etc. the
possibilities are endless. and even packet over shortwave can carry
signalling channels around the globe...)

lots of options in this space as well. just not cheap or easy yet...

Great thread David.  Helping in this kind of situation is what drew me
to P2P, and I wish we would have this kind of discussion more often
here.

With the consolidation of ISPs building alternative networks is going
to be the major hurdle we'll have to cross to enable a P2P internet,
even on a local scale.  Otherwise the people will be beholden to the
kill switch, and (P2P) traffic that is deemed undesirable will be
easily filtered.

These steerable plasma antennas that are being looked at for future
versions of wifi could be one technology that opens the door for
community driven mesh networks:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20827904.600-wireless-at-the-speed-of-plasma.html

Maybe one important step for rapid adoption in crisis situations is
P2P application download and install.  If it was a one click operation
to grab a mesh-enabled twitter app from your friend it would spread
quickly.

Well-known problem with radars and wifi (used to live next to a
(military) radar research site):

Message-ID: <201102060323.FC4FA67FE8FEA5CBF91ED@m329q6x>

     
 Are you fed up with size of your manhood? Do you feel inadequate around women and indeed other guys?
In every man's mind there is a want to enlarge his penis. Many search out ways to do this and sometimes it works and sometimes not.

Men equate a larger penis as being more attractive and impressive to the opposite sex. But they don�t always know if increasing their size will decrease or increase the pleasure they derive from sexual intercourse.

Do you want a big thick penis? Well if you do then you may be searching for natural penis male enlargement pill that has no side effect for you, here you go

Subject: [p2p-hackers] Some Clarifications regarding Egypt
Message-ID: <mailman.2796.1576008176.31620.cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org>

Dear P2P-Hackers,

I am an Egyptian P2P researcher and an old member of your list. 
I was really glad to find those two threads about Egypt in the P2P hackers list.

Technology (basically Facebook and Twitter) was a foundational part of this revolution.
History is being written as we speak,  and any simple idea, especially technology-related can
make a huge difference. Your brainstorming on this list is extremely valuable!!

i have skimmed though the threads, and excuse me if some of the thoughts are
redundant or not enough organized. (Have to rush back to the demonstrations!!) 


I- DIFFERENT PHASES
---------------------------------
Let me clarify that at different stages, we had different challenges. 
  Phase 1: Only Twitter was blocked.
	Solution: People started using public proxies. 
	Even VPNs, were a bit too much of an advanced idea for some people.
       They started disseminating the info through Facebook.

  Phase 2: No Internet 
	At this stage, I can not confirm whether routing inside Egypt was still working
       on or not. All ISPs and Mobile operators were ordered to shut it down.
       and I am interested to know (as some of you are), how did they do it.
	But ordering physical powering off of all switches is not unimaginable here.
	
	Let me also draw your attention to the fact that symmetric satellite connections 
	are basically illegal to start with, unless you are an embassy or some hotshot
       petroleum company or something. 

  Phase 3: No SMS	
	Just one more censorship level

  Phase 4: No Internet & no mobile services.
	At this point there was nothing working but land-lines. Again, I can not 
       confirm whether routing was working or not. However, if you are using a 3G 
       connection, there was no even GSM signal to start with !! 

III- DIFFERENT GOALS
--------------------------------
Let me aslo clarify that at each time different challenges were in place.

a- Organizing protests: that was the initial thing but quickly more challenges came

b- Sending out the message: the other challenge was to send to the whole world
the real picture of what is going on, especially that the Egyptian media was portraying
a totally different picture of what is actually going on. That was extremely important
on Friday the 28th, when the police was firing real bullets (claiming that to be rubber ones.)
and more importantly when they hired thugs and secret police to attack unarmed pro-democracy
protesters on the 2nd of Feb. They
collected video testimonies of captured thugs and captured disguised police officers including
their ids and their confessions of them being paid to attack.

c- On-site communication: during the demonstrations, communicating with the masses (and by masses
I mean more than one million people) is a challenge. Protesters had a tough time gathering enough loudspeakers
and with the amount of people and large physical space, they could barely communicate with a small portion 
of the rest of the crowd. May be some simple ad-hoc networking blue-tooth based or something could
have helped here.  


II- THINGS THAT ALMOST WORKED
-------------------------------------
a- Voice to Tweet 
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/feb/01/google-twitter-egypt
    This thing really worked, before the government screwed it as well.

b- International Dial-up:
    In phase 4, luckily this was still possible and some people started doing it individually
    but  there is not up to now enough known phone numbers around. 

Finally, Internet is back now, but I would not be surprised if it went off again.

I hope this gives a closer picture to what has been going on in Egypt. 
I hope I can still communicate and brainstorm with you on the subject, 
however, I am rarely online now.

Finally, we have no shortage of techies here. We can set up any complex system.
Everybody, is volunteering to do something 
and self-organizing communities are being formed in a speed beyond belief.
Needless to say, the things have to be simple enough to be used by non-techie masses.

Cheers,

this is one of many potential addressing and routing optimizations for
ad-hoc networks. for example, a dead-drop or multi-homed rendezvous
point may not care about disclosing coarse geo coords, but clients
sending to same may want much more stringent pseudonymous / anonymous
protections.

without context, this does seem counter intuitive for guerrilla comms.

(locality constrained broadcast horizons are useful as well; anonymous
wireless communication is indeed difficult; lots of problems and parts
to play with :)

Why, in (egyption) situations like this, would you want location data 
embedded in your addressing scheme ?

It seems like one would do hard work to ensure such encapsulation was NOT 
happening...

Or is this just a scheme for fair and reasonable address allocation in an 
anarchy to avoid collisions ?

Subject: [RAISETHEFIST] Rights groups vow to hunt Bush over torture

GENEVA (AFP) - Human rights groups vowed Monday to pursue George W. Bush
wherever he travels, claiming that the former US president had cancelled
a trip to Switzerland over fears that he could be probed for torture.

Bush was due to attend a fund-raising gala evening in Geneva this week,
but organisers said Saturday that he had cancelled because of the risk
of disturbances.

"The reach of the Convention Against Torture is wide -- this case is
prepared and will be waiting for him wherever he travels next," said
Katherine Gallagher, an attorney and vice-president of the Paris-based
International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH)

Human rights groups pointed out that two "torture victims" were to have
filed a criminal complaint in Geneva against Bush, who was due to speak
at the gala here on February 12.

"Swiss law requires the presence of the torturer on Swiss soil before a
preliminary investigation can be opened," said the FIDH, the European
Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights and the Centre for
Constitutional Rights.

"When Bush cancelled his trip to avoid prosecution, the human rights
groups who prepared the complaints made (them) public and announced that
the Bush torture indictment would be waiting wherever he travels next,"
they added in a statement.

In his memoirs published last year, Bush claimed that use of the water
boarding technique -- which simulates drowning -- had directly prevented
terror attacks in Britain and the United States.

He also said in an interview with the British newspaper The Times it was
"damn right" that he had authorised use of the controversial method on
Al-Qaeda's 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

"Waterboarding is torture, and Bush has admitted, without any sign of
remorse, that he approved its use," said Gallagher.

"Torturers -- even if they are former presidents of the United States --
must be held to account and prosecuted. Impunity for Bush must end."

Gavin Sullivan, a lawyer at the European Centre for Constitutional and
Human Rights, added that Bush "bears ultimate responsibility for
authorizing the torture of thousands of individuals at places like
Guantanamo and secret CIA 'black sites'.

"As all states are obliged to prosecute such torturers, Bush has good
reason to be very worried," he said.

Human Rights Watch said in New York that the US authorities themselves
should be pursuing Bush.
"The US government should take the lead to investigate former US
President George W. Bush and other senior officials for authorizing
torture of terrorism suspects rather than leaving prosecutions to other
countries," the organization said.

"The US government needs to demonstrate that no official, including an
ex-president, is above the law," said Kenneth Roth, executive director
of Human Rights Watch.

Ultra wide band probably jams their stuff too.

Hey...Wired story today about the US government forcing internet down the
throats of a hostage populace.

But I'd sure love to see a less, well, edit-able and decentralized native
emergency internet. WiMax seems a nice candidate, but you have to hit the
wireline somewhere.

Location is only available in point-to-point connections, of course
you're free to run remixing layers on top of that infrastructure.

If you want to do cut-through at relativistic speed there are not
many options left. If you want to obscure origins, use anonymization
implemented in higher layers.

That's one of the side effects: it cuts out the middlemen like IANA,
RIRs and LIRs. Anyone can compute one's geographical positions either
from global or local references, and you're free to refuse peering
from position fakers. Faking disturbances takes ownership of the local
loop, and is easily checked by referencing global beakons.

The real question isn't "If they shut you down, can you restart?".

The real question is "If they shut you down, can you restart in a way that
avoids them attempting a second shutdown with a bullet?"

Better than a bullet is to restart in a deal with the authorities
to watch and log the traffic, in the Tor model, in the ATT model,
in the Oracle model, in the Microsoft model, the models of
Google, Mozilla, Intel, NGOs, Wikileaks, news media,
hackers, freedom fighters, cryptographers, coders, anybody 
needing to make a living rather than serve a cause for thrills, 
fun and begging for a bed and rot gut victuals.

Far better than inviting a bullet is to shop your comrades, 
become a covert agent of the counterrevolution, actually a 
celebrated hero of the revolution itself defying authority, 
showing amazing courage, downplaying losses and collateral
damage and dispensing a dose of informant poison here 
and there to quell internal dissent and boost reliability
with those running and funding the operation.

If not a turncoat hero then a pre-positioned second in 
command to watch and log the all too trusting hero, manage 
the finances, keep keys to the secrets, arrange recordable
pleasurable enticements to sway the hero in the pre-planned
direction, that is, right into a carefully constructed trap where 
a hero's only choice will be to play along or get exposed as a 
insanely vainglorious, self-serving, money-grubbing, child 
rapist to be soon dead with a vile disease.

This is described in the tell all books appearing left and 
right and center.

I thought you meant ARPA foie gras-ing the US then the globalism. 
So here we are stuffed, helplessly RAMed into believing there is a way
back to free range quacking without minutely controlled AFLACing.

Ah, the dream of winning by coding, to hell with politics. So why is
Cryptography mail stuck at October 2010? Perry in jail again?

Speaking of jail, this time there have been no letters from Jim
Bell. He may be under a clampdown. Or we are. All of us stuffed.

Speaking of coding, what's the latest on open source crypto, has it 
been co-opted like the US masterspy claims, or disinfos?

Server space is one thing, BBS networks are an interesting solution, sort
of a HAM radio version of the internet.

I think the backbone needs to be de-privatised as well.

I was under the impression there are places in Europe where the internet
backbone is public, leased out to anyone who wants some.

Here, even the pipeline is under threat - the usage caps and overage
charges (which mostly serve to limit competing businesses, rather than
democratic expression which tends to be lower-bandwidth  ;-) ) are hotly
debated, with Joe Public mostly on the side of Cheaper and Faster but no
dialogue around public pipelines whatsoever.

There are two companies in most of Canada, Shaw and Telus in the west, Bell
and Rogers in the East, who deliver all the internet service, they are
forced to lease out to competitors but they are always pushing for the
power to charge more to their competitors to squeeze their share.

Even the pundits who want Net Neutrality still don't call for public
communications infrastructure.  The net is treated more like phones than
roads, which is a mistake in my opinion.

http://www.thestar.com/business/article/933854--geist-the-real-reason-we-pay-so-much-for-internet?bn=1

Our post office is about to abandon (sell) its courier operations, seen as
too incompetitive with commercial enterprises, and when competitive, an
unwanted intrusion on the free market.

the internet shutdown in egypt prompted similar questions about
independent infrastructure and corporate control.

see for example http://www.openmeshproject.org/ and the comment thread
on https://blog.torproject.org/blog/recent-events-egypt.

i know that some people were busy setting up BBS in egypt during the
shutdown, which has some interesting echoes of rushkoff's recent piece
on the Next Net ('dump internet, go fidonet')

Yes, Amazon volunteered to cut off Wikileaks, which demonstrates that 
the degree of freedom that EC2 instances give you are very limited -

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/dec/11/wikileaks-amazon-denial-democracy-lieberman

Eben Moglen gave a very good talk about the issues of privacy and 
control that I think are at the heart of the question you raise, 
recommending that people run servers on computing machinery that they 
physically control -

http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2010/feb/10/highlights-eben-moglens-freedom-cloud-talk/

It's possible to implement Moglen's ideas with current technology: 
here's a "wall wart" plug server in the corner of my living room running 
GNU social on Debian -

http://foocorp.org/projects/fooplug/

And here's a project to create a distro specifically for such devices -

the latest is same as it ever was: cheaper, easier, more effective to

never a shortage of serious vulns there...

Subject: <nettime> Amazon and Wikileaks
Message-ID: <mailman.2801.1576008176.31620.cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org>

When Amazon booted Wikileaks, I decided to do tinker with this problem.
Too many arguments about Wikileaks (and just about everything else)
hinged too heavily on metaphors and analogies, which tend to obscure
rather than articulate what's new about a situation -- kind of obvious,
if you think about it. After all, Amazon began as a bookseller and
remains an immense force in that field, which historically is deeply
intertwingled with "free speech." So, regardless of your preferred
metaphor for Wikileaks (journalism, publishing, treason, terrorism,
etc), Amazon's action conflicted with that tradition. A typical
conglomerate problem, right? A diversified 'portfolio' may be a smart
strategy for making money, but it's a shit strategy when it comes to the
particulars of any given activity -- boring stuff like craft, values,
tradition.

Naturally, Amazon runs a print-on-demand service, Createspace. So I
knocked together a book called _Cablegate: The Complete Wikileaks
Datadump_, Volume 1. Their "online tools" are what they are, and it went
well enough -- and quickly enough that I received five proof copies
notably ahead of schedule. I approved them and ordered ten copies, which
also arrived ahead of schedule.

The book consists of 200 pages of what might look like random noise to
some people, or maybe like a 3D barcode to others. The cover text on the
back (and therefore on Createspace's and Amazon's promo pages, where it
received several reviews) said this:

     On Sunday 28th November 2010, Wikileaks began publishing
     251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set
     of confidential documents ever to be released into the
     public domain. Volume 1 of Cablegate: The Complete Wikileaks
     Datadump offers an abstract, high-level view of these
     communications in 200 densely packed pages. Due to the
     immense volume of material, it was necessary to rely on
     extremely efficient encoding techniques, with a consequent
     loss of resolution; as a result, we cannot guarantee that
     all of the material is legible.

Soon after I got the production copies, the URL for this book circulated
on the "anonops" IRC channel. And very soon after that -- more than
hours, less than days -- Createspace "reached out" (bleh) to say

     Our technical services department has recently confirmed
     that the interior content uploaded to your title contains
     blank black and white pages. They have set your title to
     incomplete so that you can upload a file with content.

I went back and forth with them about this, of course. Their
explanations are painfully boring, but do pay close attention:

Version 2:

     Upon reviewing your account, it was confirmed that the
     content submitted for your title is entirely comprised of
     black and white static. This content has caused pauses in
     our production process as it's viewed as a printing error.
     As this is halting production we are unable to continue
     distributing this title at this time.

Version 3:

     In the most recent print run of your title, production was
     stopped on your book after a routine quality check indicated
     that your interior files were printing incorrectly due to a
     production error. We had to remove the availability of your
     title as we are unable to continue fulfilling orders for
     your title since it will continue to halt production.

Version 4:

     You are welcome to fade the static images on each page and
     indicate on each page that you are displaying encrypted text
     and that it is a gag book. You may also upload a file with
     text on most pages and the static image pages interspersed
     throughout. However, please note that we will not allow more
     than two consecutive pages of static images. Additionally,
     you may add a disclaimer page at the beginning of the book
     that this is a gag book. You may also consider adding
     information in the description that this is a gag book as to
     not foster customer confusion on Amazon.com.

Version 5:

     There are two main concerns with the interior of Title ID
     3522893.  First and foremost, the interior file caused a
     production error; this occurred was a result of the black
     and white images, also defined as "static," on all the
     interior pages.  Furthermore, as there is not text in the
     book file indicating the black and white images as
     intentional, it was seen as a mistake in production. As a
     result, all of production was stopped and in order to
     prevent the same occurrence, it was necessary to remove the
     availability of the title. Secondly, the current book
     description does not detail that the book is a gag or the
     reason for the illegible material on the interior.
     Therefore, customers could purchase the title without being
     made aware that it is a gag book. Overall, it must be
     understood from the interior files that the full interior of
     the black and white images is intentional. To do so, it is
     necessary to indicate in text that you are displaying
     encrypted text and to indicate in both the interior and book
     description that it is a gag book.

(I'll leave the claims that it's "encrypted" *and* a "gag" for others to
sort out...)

Now, I'll be the first to admit that there's something very reasonable
about all of this. Their production lines have QA people who see a snow
crash and barf on it, which buggers things up, etc, etc. Except for one
thing: I don't feel like being 'reasonable.' This is a book, they're a
printer-publisher, and they've refused to print it based in large part
on the argument -- after much tooth-pulling -- that it might offend
someone. They can couch their argument in terms of production
efficiencies and consumer confusion (standard weapons in commercial
interests' war on culture), much as theocrats have suppressed books on
grounds of heresy, and as bluenoses have suppressed books on grounds of
obscenity, but the structural issue remains the same: one party wants to
print a book, other parties might not want it printed, and the
printer-publisher is the man in the middle.

Though I doubt very much that if I'd printed a _History of Televised
Static_, with details about where, when, and how each image was captured
and a scholarly introduction afterword, they would have empowered their
QA people to reject it.

But no matter: Volumes 2, 3, 4, etc are forthcoming, and I'll factor in
Createspace's issues into the encoding and design. This fight's been
going on for centuries now, and leaks aren't going away. I'm in no rush.

And, anyway, once I'd kicked the Amazon dinosaur its various extremities
started waking up. Amazon very graciously invited me to publish a Kindle
edition -- which of course would have the benefit that it doesn't need
to be printed and therefore doesn't face quite the same production
issues. So I used their online tools (same story) and was pleased to see
this message:

     Converting book file to Kindle format...

      \ | /
     --   --
      / | \

     This may take a few moments. If you have completed all
     required fields above, click "Save and Continue" to move
     forward while conversion continues.

I just logged in again to see their little wheel-of-industry widget
still spinning. It's been "converting" since Christmas eve.

          "This title is currently on hold. This title is

Look, this is all fine and good - everyone with two brain cells to rub 
together immediately thought "mesh network" - not for Egypt, per se, but 
anytime in the last four years that this issue has come up.

But you go digging into the guts of this and you'll find that you only 
have to get about three levels deep before the whole thing is a mess.

Start reading the mailing list archives of MANET, BATMAN, OLSR, and so on, 
and you'll find that there are serious, serious 
math/network[1]/graphing/etc. issues that are nowhere near to being solved 
on any scale larger than your neighborhood.

So, a standalone wireless BBS ?  Golden.  The knee jerk "I (somewhat) 
grok the OSI model and some related bits of trivia and I think ya'll 
should just set up a mesh" ... not so much.

Ok, if you map hyperlattice to a sphere surrounding Earth (for
other gravity wells, use a hierarchical subnet) derived mostly
from WGS84 position fixes, and otherwise visibility/ToF mutual
triangulation and store only local deviations from idealicity, 
and implement long-distance via VPN over Internet initially,
and use geographic routing where are the scale limits?

I mean, sure, there are a gazillion ways to do it wrong, and
only a couple to do it right. But this doesn't mean the problem
is unsolvable.

1. Data retention law provisions declared unlawful in Cyprus
============================================================

The Cyprus Supreme Court decided on 1 February 2011 that some of the
provisions of Law 183 (I) / 2007 on disclosure of telecommunications
data are unlawful, as they breach the Cyprus Constitution and its
jurisprudence, as revealed by the daily Cyprus Mail.

Law 183 (I) / 2007 (Retention of Telecommunication Data for Purposes of
Investigation of Serious Criminal Offences Law of 2007) was adopted by
Cyrpus on 31 December 2007 as the national implementation of the EU Data
retention directive.

In the case brought to the Supreme Court, four people claimed that
Articles 4 and 5 of the national law, that provided police forces access to
the retained data, were unlawful. The court considered that the articles in
question go beyond the provisions of the EU Directive which does not address
the issue of access to the retained data.  Therefore, the court considered
it may check the constitutionality of these articles, especially in relation
with Art 15 of the Cyprus Constitution (right to privacy) and article 17
(confidentiality of communications).

Based on the Cyprus Constitution, and jurisprudence from itself and from the
EctHR, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling regarding the legality of
court orders issued for the disclosure of telecommunications data by the
district courts of Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca at the request of police
investigating serious crimes. The orders concerned the four complainants
that claimed a breach of privacy and confidentiality of their
communications.

The court considered that three of the four court orders for disclosing
telephone numbers and calls were illegal and should be annulled. In the case
of the fourth person the case was rejected, since the person was imprisoned
and banned for using a mobile phone.

It is unclear how this decision will affect the law and its application.
According to a statement of police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos to
Cyprus Mail, "the decision will be studied in depth by the assistant police
chief and all under investigation or criminal proceedings will be identified
for which a court order was secured for the disclosure of telecommunications
data, so that in consultation with the Attorney-general, a decision can be
taken on the further handling of them."

2. Commission's proposal for PNR Directive fails to impress MEPs
============================================================

On 2 February 2011, the European Commission released its proposal for a
directive on the use of Passenger Name Records. This would require airlines
flying into and out of the EU to give travellers' personal information to
national authorities in the Member State of departure or arrival. Such data
includes, for example, home address, mobile phone number, frequent flier
information, email address and credit card information.

The document is a follow up to the proposal for PNR in 2007, for which the
European Parliament, led by rapporteur Sophia in't Veld (ALDE, Netherlands),
requested from the Commission, particularly in terms of better
justifications regarding the measure's supposed necessity and
proportionality.

With a number of databases related to travellers already in
existence, such as the Schengen Information System (SIS), the Visa
Information System (VIS) and the Advanced Passenger Information system
(API), many members of European Parliament were and are sceptical about the
necessity of a Passenger Name Record regime.

The scope of the purpose of PNR is widened. Whereas, in the 2007 document,
the purposes were preventing and combating terrorist offences and
organised crime, now it extends to "serious crimes" (defined as offences
which call for a minimum prison sentence of 3 years). As these crimes are
not specified, there is, by definition, no way of assessing the necessity
and proportionality of all crimes that could be covered by this wording.

The processing of the PNR data outlined in Article 4 stipulates that the
Passenger Information Unit (PIU -the body responsible for the storage and
management of PNR databases), can use the data for profiling purposes, an
issue that has been highly criticised in Parliament. The data can also
be compared with other "relevant" databases, while not making clear which
databases will be accessed by Member States. PIUs will also be obliged to
hand over PNR data at the request of the competent authorities in Member
States. Finally, the document proposes using the data to update and create
new profiling criteria.

The document indicates that it will "mask" some pieces of data after 30 days
of storage. The data is, however, not anonymised - instead, a certain amount
of data is "masked" with no actual anonymisation. These pieces of
information can be easily re-personalised and, in fact, access to the full
PNR data is always available to the Head of the PIU, "where it could be
reasonably believed that it is necessary to carry out an investigation and
in response to a specific and actual threat or risk or a specific
investigation or prosecution."

Furthermore, considering the list of PNR data to be collected, there are a
number of personally identifiable information that will not be "masked",
such as billing information (including credit card numbers).

The document also prohibits the collection, storage and processing of
"sensitive data", defined in the proposal as "any personal data that could
reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or data concerning health or
sexual life of the individual concerned". In the same paragraph however, it
states the PNR data "should contain details on the passenger's reservation
and travel itinerary", which include special meal requests which can
indicate religious orientation; special service requests that can indicate
disabilities or specific medical conditions and billing and contact
information.

MEP Sophia in't Veld seems pleased with the document, saying, "we will
closely scrutinise the proposals, but at first glance there is a substantial
improvement compared to the previous proposals". However, she did indicate
that better justification of the necessity of collecting PNR data remains,
and that Parliament needs the facts and figures before they can make a well
founded decision.

Other members of the European Parliament are not so optimistic. EPP member
Manfred Weber (Germany) is sceptical of the necessity of PNR, saying, "there
are deficits in the usage of current data. So why should we collect even
more mass data?"

"The EU-US PNR agreement is already bad enough", stated German Greens member
Jan Albrecht. "The last thing we need to do in Europe is to copy this model,
which infringes on the civil liberties of EU citizens."

Claude Moraes (S&D, UK) has concerns about the Commission's proposal to
profile individuals and indiscriminately collect personal data, calling on
Commissioner Malmstrvm to "urgently come before the European Parliament and
to provide precise evidence that massively collecting air travellers' data
is an effective and necessary way to prevent terrorists from flying to and
from Europe."

Commissioner Malmstrvm is likely to meet with the LIBE committee in the next
few weeks to discuss the contentious elements of the proposal. The entire
negotiation process in the Council and the Parliament is expected to
take around two years.

3. German study finds the data retention ineffective
============================================================

A study of police statistics published  by the German Federal Crime Agency
on 26 January 2011, finds telecommunications data retention ineffective for
the prosecution of serious crime.

An analysis of Federal Crime Agency statistics published on 27 January 2011
by German civil liberties NGO AK Vorrat reveals that data retention, while
in force, did not make the prosecution of serious crime any more effective.
With data retention in effect, more serious criminal acts (2009: 1 422 968)
were registered by police than before (2007: 1 359 102), and a smaller
proportion were cleared up (2009: 76.3%) than before the introduction of
blanket retention of communications data (2007: 77.6%). Likewise, after the
additional retention of Internet data began in 2009, the number of
registered Internet offences surged from 167 451 in 2008 to 206 909 in 2009,
while the clear-up rate for Internet crime fell (2008: 79.8%, 2009: 75.7%).

According to AK Vorrat, user avoidance behaviour can explain the
counterproductive effects of blanket data retention on the investigation of
crime. In order to avoid the recording of sensitive information under a
blanket data retention scheme, users begin to employ Internet cafis,
wireless Internet access points, anonymisation services, public telephones,
unregistered mobile telephone cards, non-electronic communications channels
and the like. This avoidance behaviour cannot only render retained data
meaningless but also frustrate more targeted investigation techniques that
would otherwise have been available to law enforcement. Overall, blanket
data retention can thus be counterproductive to criminal investigations,
facilitating some, but rendering many more futile.

4. UK Supreme Court to hear DNA cases
============================================================

Following a decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the UK
Coalition Government has recently stated its intention to dramatically
reduce the retention period of DNA data. In 2008, the ECtHR ruled that a
blanket policy of retaining DNA samples of people who were not charged or
convicted of offences indefinitely was breaching human rights.

The UK Supreme Court has recently held hearings in two cases related to
the retention of DNA, fingerprints and other information by the Police of
Metropolis of two individuals, independently arrested by the police for
suspected offences but had no further action taken against them.

"It makes good sense to hold the DNA of dangerous convicts, but holding
intimate information on thousands of innocents is discriminatory as well as
intrusive. The high numbers of black men arrested and never charged explains
but doesn't justify their over-representation on the database. In the
absence of long-trailed new law from Parliament, Britain's highest court
must inject fairness into DNA retention practice," stated Liberty's legal
officer Anna Fairclough.

The Supreme Court will decide whether the respective data retention
violates the rights of the plaintiffs under Article 8 of the European
Convention on Human Rights. The decision will probably largely influence the
actions taken further on by the UK authorities.

The Coalition expressed the intention to introduce a similar policy to that
in Scotland where only the samples of people suspected of serious offences
are retained and only for a limited period of time.  "The Government is
committed to adopting the protections of the Scottish model for DNA
retention. In particular, we are examining whether the provisions of section
23 of the Crime and Security Act 2010 should be brought into force. This
would empower the National DNA Database Strategy Board to issue binding
guidance to chief police officers on the types of case in which deletion
would be appropriate," Home Office Minister James Brokenshire announced in
the Parliament.

For the time being, according to the statistics, one out of four people
whose DNA data are retained by the UK police forces are innocent and the
data are retained indefinitely.

In January 2011, Northern Ireland's High Court of Justice ruled that the
retention of a 14-year-old boy's DNA by the police was not illegal, stating
ECHR's 2008 ruling could not be followed because it was not binding and it
was in conflict with the earlier ruling by the House of Lords.

"The lengthy, perhaps indefinite, retention by the police of the Applicant's
photographic images seems incompatible with the broad and elastic
formulations of the scope of Article 8(1) [of the ECHR]," said Mr Justice
McLoskey who added: "But for [the House of Lords] decision and our analysis
of it, we consider that there is substantial force in the view that the
retention of the Applicant's photographic images by the Police Service for a
minimum period of seven years, which may be extended indefinitely,
unconnected in any concrete or rational way with any of the statutory
purposes, interferes with his right to respect for private life guaranteed
by Article 8(1)."

5. Spanish sports streaming domain seized by US authorities without warning
============================================================

The US authorities have recently seized, without any warning, the domain
names of several sports streaming sites over alleged copyright infringements
within the "Operation In Our Sites" action launched at the beginning of July
2010, targeting websites having allegedly offered users copyrighted
material without copyright owners' consent.

In July 2010, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Homeland Security's
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized a series of film streaming
domain names. It is now the turn of sports streaming domain names.

Among the recently seized domains, DOJ and ICE have included
Rojadirecta.org, a popular sports steaming website, despite the fact that
the site is owned by a Spanish company and its only relation to the US is
that the .org domain is maintained by a US company.

Furthermore, the site has already been declared legal by two Spanish court
rulings in 2009 and 2010, following an action introduced by sports rights
holder Audiovisual Sport in 2007. "In our opinion the US authorities are
completely despising the Spanish justice system and sovereignty," stated
Igor Seoane, Rojadirecta's owner for TorrentFreak.

Rojadirecta, as a streaming site, does not host any copyrighted material but
indexes HTTP links to sports streams that can be found on the Internet and
links to torrent files hosted on other sites.

This seizure of a site domain already declared legal in Spain, raises
concerns related to generic domain names that are controlled exclusively by
US companies. Without even contacting the site owners, the US authorities
may obtain a seizure warrant from a District Court judge and use this to
take control over the domains in question even if the sites are not based in
the US, which provides US censorship powers over a great part of the
Internet.

Besides Rojadirecta.org, the domains of several other sports streaming
sites were seized by DOJ and ICE, only a few days before the Super Bowl, the
most-watched American television broadcast. This seems like a pattern. In
November, the US authorities seized domains of online retailers of alleged
counterfeit goods, just a few days before "Cyber Monday", a commercial
event.

The sites in question had the option to move to alternative domains, which
they did in a short time. Rojadirecta  is presently available on several
alternative domains, such as .es, .in and  .me. Channelsurfing.net, one of
the other seized sites is now available under Channelsurf.eu, Atdhe.net has
moved to Atdhenet.tv while Ilemi.com turned to Ilemi.tv.

6. France: Increased powers for Hadopi authority
============================================================

The Hadopi law continues to develop as the French Government pushes last
minute amendments to be passed by the Parliament.

Thus, the French National Assembly adopted on 1 February 2011, late at
night, an amendment filed at the last moment by the Government, that would
allow French three strikes authority (Hadopi) to pay private-sector
companies for carrying out online surveillance and filtering.

Amendment 151 to the draft Law on Simplifying and Improving the Quality of
Laws extends Hadopi powers to "provide support for innovative research
and experimentation projects by state or privately-owned entities that would
assist the Authority in fulfilling its mission (...)", meaning that the
authority would have the freedom to subsidise private entities for "the
development of the legal offer and the observation of legal and illegal use
of works".

Although it was passed in a rush and late at night, the amendment did not go
unnoticed. The legal commission of the General Assembly showed concerns
regarding the constitutionality of the amendment stating it had no time to
examine it and asked for its withdrawal. Deputy Alain Vidalies warned that
the opposition would take the issue to the Constitutional Court, considering
the amendment as a "legislative knight" (a text which has actually no
relation to the text examined).

Another draft decree related to Hadopi was on CNIL's agenda on 20 January
2011 and is now to be examined by the State Council. The decree, already
modified once in October 2010, introduces means to interconnect ISPs'
subscriber files with infringement information received by the Hadopi
authority and makes electronic transmissions of all files from Hadopi to
courts.

This modification fulfils Hadopi's wish to manage all three strikes
processes up to the courts by information systems, as the authority
stated in November 2010: "Actually, the information system manages the first
pedagogical phases of the graduate response procedure (...) It must be
completed to manage the next exchange phase with the prosecutor offices and
jurisdictions, for which a decree of the Culture Minister is to be published
next month."

The current procedure is that the files are verified first by the Commission
for the Protection of Rights (CPD) before being sent to the prosecutor.
However, the president of CPD stated in an interview at the end of 2010 that
he supported the idea that the "negligent infraction" can be verified by the
repeated offence and therefore, no additional evidence is necessary. "If the
subscriber has not changed his behaviour after three offences, he has
therefore not placed any security measure (...) the consequences of your
actions are those that prove the infringement ", said CPD President.

The transmission of Hadopi files to the prosecutor offices is already
covered by a procedural decree of July 2010 which says that the files are
sent "to the prosecutor of the Republic attached to the competent high
court."

The idea is to make these transmissions electronic and to allow the
courts to send their decisions electronically. Hadopi wants to make certain
that a decision to suspend a subscriber's Internet access is applied. The
authority also wants to be sure the subscriber cannot use another ISP during
the suspension period.

7. ENDitorial: Internet blocking and damage to child protection
============================================================

The child protection industry has been campaigning for years for the
introduction of EU-wide mandatory blocking of websites accused of being
illegal by the police, by independent authorities, etc. This is as a result
of a very laudable reflex - child abuse websites are even more abhorrent
than one would imagine and blocking a bad thing can only logically be a good
thing. Politically, it is an easy message.

Unfortunately, child protection in an international context is polluted with
easy messages and unthinking reflexes. Every government loves sounding tough
on child protection and every soundbite that does not require concrete
action results in a weakening of real measures being taken to protect
children from real abuse. The self-appointed childrens' representatives
consistently support and encourage these meaningless and counterproductive
soundbites, ultimately damaging the very interests they claim to defend.

Every country in the world except Somalia has signed and ratified either the
UN Child Rights Convention or its Optional Protocol on the sale of children,
child prostitution and child pornography. The Convention requires
governments to take all appropriate national, bilateral and international
measures to prevent the exploitative use of children in "pornographic"
performances. The Optional Protocol requires governments to ensure that
child "pornography" is "fully covered under its penal and criminal law".

We are told that some countries leave child abuse websites online for
months. Where is the public condemnation from the United Nations for these
blatant breaches of its most successful binding Convention? Where are the
shadow reports from child protection organisations condemning those
countries for gross failures to protect the weakest in society? Where are
the sanctions from governments bound under international law to take "all
appropriate national, bilateral and international measures to prevent the
abuse"? They are lost in soundbites.

The problem is that the Convention and the Optional Protocol have no
enforcement mechanisms. They can be signed and forgotten and states can move
on to the next soundbite.

We are told that web blocking is meant to be a "complementary measure". It
will be part of a wider strategy. Unfortunately, it requires no action from
governments - building on years of failure and years of soundbites, they
will be able to claim that they are fighting child abuse when all they are
really doing is asking Internet providers to put up a screen - a screen
which will mask their own failures better than the abuse.

So, why does the child protection industry insist on promoting blocking? It
would be unfair to say that they are funded by governments and therefore
unwilling to criticise them. The issue appears to be based more on
misunderstandings than anything else. If we look at one particular child
campaigner's blog (link below), we can see this quite clearly. He says:

"Blocking is, after all, a form of deletion. It renders the material
inaccessible to the great majority of internet users in the country where
blocking happens."

A system which leaves the material online is not a form of deletion. Nobody
has been able to indicate any statistical difference between the number of -
or trends in - reports to child abuse hotlines in countries with or without
blocking.

It has, therefore, no discernible impact on the great majority of internet
users. In any event, the great majority of internet users never find child
abuse material and, according to statistics from Internet hotlines.
Furthermore, the great majority (over 75%) of those who think that they do
have actually found entirely legal material.

He goes on to say:
"Opponents of blocking are sort of saying everyone should be able to see the
images until no one can."

It is difficult to know which opponents of blocking might be referred to
here. Innocent people very rarely access the material and there is no
evidence that blocking stops this to an appreciable extent. What we object
to are measures which take the pressure off governments to take real action
against websites containing evidence of real abuse and which destroy
fundamental rights in the process

He then explains that:
"A number of opponents of blocking make references to "the thin end of the
wedge" and to "dangerous precedents", sometimes referred to jointly or
severally as the "slippery slope". "Where will it all end?" they ask."

This fails to recognise that this is not a "stand alone" argument. The
"slippery slope" is an inevitable cost. Any policy in any area requires the
costs and benefits to be compared and balanced. As there is no demonstrable
benefit to blocking, the slippery slope alone would make the measure
disproportionate.

He continues:
"More reprehensible in some ways are those who make no attempt to deny that
blocking child abuse images is a good thing to do. Instead, and often
without any apparent embarrassment, they say they would do it in a trice if
only they could be sure blocking would forever be limited to that.

Terrorism, anorexia or suicide related materials frequently get mentioned as
examples of the types of content it is known others are pushing to be
blocked."

Having worked on this issue for several years, I have never once heard
someone make this argument. Blocking is dangerous, counter-productive and
useless for child abuse images, whether other types of site are blocked does
not change this.

He adds:
"Why do they find it difficult to agree that they should be blocked pending
their deletion? It does not add up."

Having seen governments sign, ratify and forget the UN Child Rights
Convention, the Convention's Optional Protocol, the International Labour
Organisation Convention on the worst forms of child labour and the Stockholm
Declaration, it does not add up that people interested in child protection
would want to give governments yet another soundbite - another way of hiding
inaction on child protection behind empty promises.

There MUST be investigations in order to identify and rescue as many
children as possible. There MUST be investigations in order to find and
prosecute both the owners and users of such sites. Blocking will immediately
warn the people behind the websites that they have been spotted by law
enforcement authorities and they can act to protect themselves. Why would
child protection organisations want this?

He says:
"The techie world generally dislikes solutions which it believes are
"broken" i.e. that can be defeated or circumvented, but the point is the
knowledge and the determination to circumvent or defeat blocking are very
unevenly distributed."

The problem that the techie world has is the same as the one that the
political world increasingly has with blocking. Techies are parents too and
therefore understand that all efforts to protect children must be effective.
They understand that every failed initiative has real human consequences. If
a policy has demonstrable costs and no demonstrable benefits, it must be
avoided.

He continues:
"Critics say that if the EU gives official blessing to the use of blocking
it would enable totalitarian regimes in other parts of the world to point to
it to justify their own oppressive use of blocking."

Nobody says that blocking of child abuse images will directly cause this.

However, "mission creep" is not a risk, it is a guarantee. Lawless blocking,
such as in the UK and Sweden is not a risk, it is an existing fact. If, and
it is already beginning to happen, EU countries block child abuse websites
to hide their own international failures, if they block entirely legal
gambling websites in order to protect tax revenues and gambling monopolies
and if they block websites accused of copyright infringement in order to
protect outdated industries that cannot cope with the digital age, if EU
countries abandon the rule of law and permit blocking without any
involvement of law enforcement (let alone judicial) authorities, it is not
alone encouraging totalitarian regimes to undermine access to information,
it is providing a blueprint for them.

Sadly and disappointingly, the campaigner then goes on to give statistics
which have been comprehensively, repeatedly and unquestionably disproven.

One of the many clear analyses of why the "statistics" are misleading
nonsense is linked from the bottom of this page.

To finish, and bearing in mind that total lack of any benefit of blocking
and the real dangers to child protection that blocking presents, I will
finish with two quotations from the campaigner that sum up the debate very
neatly:

"If your starting point is the best interests of the child there is no way
you can end up concluding that, actually, after a lot of careful thought, a
great deal of soul searching and hand wringing it is best to leave pictures
of children being raped on full public view for a little while longer."

"This argument turns sexually-abused children into bargaining chips."

This is completely and reprehensibly true. It is incomprehensible to find
oneself trying to defend measures that will force governments to take proper
action against child abuse, being fought every step of the way by those
people whose job it is to do this.

Modernisation of the Council of Europe Convention 108

With new data protection challenges arising everyday, the Convention is
being overhauled to meet new realities and time is now ripe to think about
modernising it. The technological developments of the information and
communication society as well as the globalisation of exchanges lead to
unexplored challenges and potential new risks for the protection of human
rights and fundamental freedoms. Is Convention 108's protection still in
line with today's needs in respect of data protection or should it be
modified and complemented in order to better satisfy the legitimate
expectations of individuals and concerned professionals?

Subject: <nettime> Glenn Greenwald: The leaked campaign to attack WikiLeaks
	and its supporters
Message-ID: <mailman.2803.1576008176.31620.cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org>



http://www.salon.com/news/wikileaks/index.html?story=/opinion/greenwald/2011/02/11/campaigns
Friday, Feb 11, 2011, Glenn Greenwald

There's been a very strange episode being written about the past couple of 
days involving numerous parties, including me, that I now want to comment 
on.  The story, first reported by The Tech Herald, has been been written 
about in numerous places (see Marcy Wheeler, Forbes, The Huffington Post, 
BoingBoing, Matt Yglesias, Reason, Tech Dirt, and others), so I'll provide 
just the summary. 

Last week, Aaron Barr, a top executive at computer security firm HB Gary, 
boasted to the Financial Times that his firm had infiltrated and begun to 
expose Anonymous, the group of pro-WikiLeaks hackers that had launched 
cyber attacks on companies terminating services to the whistleblowing site 
(such as Paypal, MasterCard, Visa, Amazon and others).  In retaliation, 
Anonymous hacked into the email accounts of HB Gary, published 50,000 of 
their emails online, and also hacked Barr's Twitter and other online 
accounts. 

Among the emails that were published was a report prepared by HB Gary -- in 
conjunction with several other top online security firms, including 
Palantir Technologies -- on how to destroy WikiLeaks.  The emails indicated 
the report was part of a proposal to be submitted to Bank of America 
through its outside law firm, Hunton & Williams.  News reports have 
indicated that WikiLeaks is planning to publish highly incriminating 
documents showing possible corruption and fraud at that bank, and The New 
York Times detailed last month how seriously top bank officials are taking 
that threat.  The NYT article described that the bank's "counterespionage 
work" against WikiLeaks entailed constant briefings for top executives on 
the whistle-blower site, along with the hiring of "several top law firms" 
and Booz Allen (the long-time firm of former Bush DNI Adm. Michael 
McConnell and numerous other top intelligence and defense officials).  The 
report prepared by these firms was designed to be part of the Bank of 
America's highly funded anti-WikiLeaks campaign.

The leaked report suggested numerous ways to destroy WikiLeaks, some of 
them likely illegal -- including planting fake documents with the group and 
then attacking them when published; "creat[ing] concern over the security" 
of the site; "cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on 
document submitters"; and a "media campaign to push the radical and 
reckless nature of wikileaks activities."  Many of those proposals were 
also featured prongs of a secret 2008 Pentagon plan to destroy WikiLeaks. 

One section of the leaked report focused on attacking WikiLeaks' supporters 
and it featured a discussion of me.  A graph purporting to be an 
"organizational chart" identified several other targets, including former 
New York Times reporter Jennifer 8 Lee, Guardian reporter James Ball, and 
Manning supporter David House.  The report claimed I was "critical" to 
WikiLeaks' public support after its website was removed by Amazon and that 
"it is this level of support that needs to be disrupted"; absurdly 
speculated that "without the support of people like Glenn, WikiLeaks would 
fold"; and darkly suggested that "these are established professionals that 
have a liberal bent, but ultimately most of them if pushed will choose 
professional preservation over cause."  As The Tech Herald noted, "earlier 
drafts of the proposal and an email from Aaron Barr used the word 
'attacked' over 'disrupted' when discussing the level of support."

In the wake of the ensuing controversy caused by publication of these 
documents, the co-founder and CEO of Palantir Tech, Alex Karp, has now 
issued a statement stating that he "directed the company to sever any and 
all contacts with HB Gary."  The full statement -- which can be read here 
-- also includes this sentence:  "personally and on behalf of the entire 
company, I want to publicly apologize to progressive organizations in 
general, and Mr. Greenwald in particular, for any involvement that we may 
have had in these matters."  Palantir has also contacted me by email to 
arrange for Dr. Karp to call me to personally convey the apology.  My 
primary interest is in knowing whether Bank of America retained these firms 
to execute this proposal and if any steps were taken to do so; if Karp's 
apology is genuine, that information ought to be forthcoming (as I was 
finishing writing this, Karp called me, seemed sincere enough in his 
apology, vowed that any Palantir employees involved in this would dealt 
with the way they dealt with HB Gary, and commendably committed to telling 
me by the end of the week whether Bank of America or Hunton & Williams 
actually retained these firms to carry out this proposal).

* * * * *

My initial reaction to all of this was to scoff at its absurdity.  Not 
being familiar with the private-sector world of internet security, I hadn't 
heard of these firms before and, based on the quality of the proposal, 
assumed they were just some self-promoting, fly-by-night entities of little 
significance.  Moreover, for the reasons I detailed in my interview with 
The Tech Herald -- and for reasons Digby elaborated on here -- the very 
notion that I could be forced to choose "professional preservation over 
cause" is ludicrous on multiple levels.  Obviously, I wouldn't have spent 
the last year vehemently supporting WikiLeaks -- to say nothing of 
aggressively criticizing virtually every large media outlet and many of 
their leading stars, as well as the most beloved political leaders of both 
parties -- if I were willing to choose "career preservation over cause."

But after learning a lot more over the last couple of days, I now take this 
more seriously -- not in terms of my involvement but the broader 
implications this story highlights.  For one thing, it turns out that the 
firms involved here are large, legitimate and serious, and do substantial 
amounts of work for both the U.S. Government and the nation's largest 
private corporations (as but one example, see this email from a Stanford 
computer science student about Palantir).  Moreover, these kinds of smear 
campaigns are far from unusual; in other leaked HB Gary emails, 
ThinkProgress discovered that similar proposals were prepared for the 
Chamber of Commerce to attack progressive groups and other activists 
(including ThinkProgress).  And perhaps most disturbing of all, Hunton & 
Williams was recommended to Bank of America's General Counsel by the 
Justice Department -- meaning the U.S. Government is aiding Bank of America 
in its defense against/attacks on WikiLeaks.

That's why this should be taken seriously, despite how ignorant, trite and 
laughably shallow is the specific leaked anti-WikiLeaks proposal.  As 
creepy and odious as this is, there's nothing unusual about these kinds of 
smear campaigns.The only unusual aspect here is that we happened to learn 
about it this time because of Anonymous' hacking.  That a similar scheme 
was quickly discovered by ThinkProgress demonstrates how common this 
behavior is.  The very idea of trying to threaten the careers of 
journalists and activists to punish and deter their advocacy is self-
evidently pernicious; that it's being so freely and casually proposed to 
groups as powerful as the Bank of America, the Chamber of Commerce, and the 
DOJ-recommended Hunton & Williams demonstrates how common this is.  These 
highly experienced firms included such proposals because they assumed those 
deep-pocket organizations would approve and it would make their hiring more 
likely.

But the real issue highlighted by this episode is just how lawless and 
unrestrained is the unified axis of government and corporate power.  I've 
written many times about this issue -- the full-scale merger between public 
and private spheres --  because it's easily one of the most critical yet 
under-discussed political topics.  Especially (though by no means only) in 
the worlds of the Surveillance and National Security State, the powers of 
the state have become largely privatized.  There is very little separation 
between government power and corporate power.   Those who wield the latter 
intrinsically wield the former.  The revolving door between the highest 
levels of government and corporate offices rotates so fast and continuously 
that it has basically flown off its track and no longer provides even the 
minimal barrier it once did.  It's not merely that corporate power is 
unrestrained; it's worse than that:  corporations actively exploit the 
power of the state to further entrench and enhance their power.

That's what this anti-WikiLeaks campaign is generally:  it's a concerted, 
unified effort between government and the most powerful entities in the 
private sector (Bank of America is the largest bank in the nation).  The 
firms the Bank has hired (such as Booz Allen) are suffused with the highest 
level former defense and intelligence officials, while these other outside 
firms (including Hunton & Williams and Palantir) are extremely well-
connected to the U.S. Government.  The U.S. Government's obsession with 
destroying WikiLeaks has been well-documented.  And because the U.S. 
Government is free to break the law without any constraints, oversight or 
accountability, so, too, are its "private partners" able to act lawlessly.  
That was the lesson of the Congressional vesting of full retroactive 
immunity on lawbreaking telecoms, of the refusal to prosecute any of the 
important Wall Street criminals who caused the 2008 financial crisis, and 
of the instinctive efforts of the political class to protect defrauding 
mortgage banks.  

The exemption from the rule of law has been fully transferred from the 
highest level political elites to their counterparts in the private sector.  
"Law" is something used to restrain ordinary Americans and especially those 
who oppose this consortium of government and corporate power, but it 
manifestly does not apply to restrain these elites.  Just consider one 
amazing example illustrating how this works. 

After Anonymous imposed some very minimal cyber disruptions on Paypal, 
Master Card and Amazon, the DOJ flamboyantly vowed to arrest the culprits, 
and several individuals were just arrested as part of those attacks.  But 
weeks earlier, a far more damaging and serious cyber-attack was launched at 
WikiLeaks, knocking them offline.  Those attacks were sophisticated and 
dangerous.  Whoever did that was quite likely part of either a government 
agency or a large private entity acting at its behest.  Yet the DOJ has 
never announced any investigation into those attacks or vowed to apprehend 
the culprits, and it's impossible to imagine that ever happening.

Why?  Because crimes carried out that serve the Government's agenda and 
target its opponents are permitted and even encouraged; cyber-attacks are 
"crimes" only when undertaken by those whom the Government dislikes, but 
are perfectly permissible when the Government itself or those with a 
sympathetic agenda unleash them.  Whoever launched those cyber attacks at 
WikiLeaks (whether government or private actors) had no more legal right to 
do so than Anonymous, but only the latter will be prosecuted. 

That's the same dynamic that causes the Obama administration to be obsessed 
with prosecuting WikiLeaks but not The New York Times or Bob Woodward, even 
though the latter have published far more sensitive government secrets; 
WikiLeaks is adverse to the government while the NYT and Woodward aren't, 
and thus "law" applies to punish only the former.  The same mindset drives 
the Government to shield high-level political officials who commit the most 
serious crimes, while relentlessly pursuing whistle-blowers who expose 
their wrongdoing.  Those with proximity to government power and who serve 
and/or control it are free from the constraints of law; those who threaten 
or subvert it have the full weight of law come crashing down upon them.

* * * * *

What is set forth in these proposals for Bank of America quite possibly 
constitutes serious crimes.  Manufacturing and submitting fake documents 
with the intent they be published likely constitutes forgery and fraud.  
Threatening the careers of journalists and activists in order to force them 
to be silent is possibly extortion and, depending on the specific means to 
be used, constitutes other crimes as well.  Attacking WikiLeaks' computer 
infrastructure in an attempt to compromise their sources undoubtedly 
violates numerous cyber laws.  

Yet these firms had no compunction about proposing such measures to Bank of 
America and Hunton & Williams, and even writing them down.   What accounts 
for that brazen disregard of risk?  In this world, law does not exist as a 
constraint.  It's impossible to imagine the DOJ ever, ever prosecuting a 
huge entity like Bank of America for doing something like waging war 
against WikiLeaks and its supporters.  These massive corporations and the 
firms that serve them have no fear of law or government because they 
control each.  That's why they so freely plot to target those who oppose 
them in any way.  They not only have massive resources to devote to such 
attacks, but the ability to act without limits.  John Cole put it this way:

    One thing that even the dim bulbs in the media should understand by now 
is that there is in fact a class war going on, and it is the rich and 
powerful who are waging it. Anyone who does anything that empowers the 
little people or that threatens the wealth and power of the plutocracy must 
be destroyed. There is a reason for these clowns going after Think Progress 
and unions, just like there is a reason they are targeting Wikileaks and 
Glenn Greenwald, Planned Parenthood, and Acorn. . . .

    You have to understand the mindset- they are playing for keeps. The 
vast majority of the wealth isn't enough. They want it all.  Anything that 
gets in their way must be destroyed. . . . And they are well financed, have 
a strong infrastructure, a sympathetic media, and entire organizations 
dedicated to running cover for them . . . .

    I don't even know why we bother to hold elections any more, to be 
honest, the game is so rigged. Webre a banana republic, and it is just a 
matter of time before we descend into necklacing and other tribal bullshit. 

There are supposed to be institutions which limit what can be done in 
pursuit of those private-sector goals.  They're called "government" and 
"law."  But those institutions are so annexed by the most powerful private-
sector elites, and so corrupted by the public officials who run them, that 
nobody -- least of all those elites -- has any expectation that they will 
limit anything.  To the contrary, the full force of government and law will 
be unleashed against anyone who undermines Bank of America and Wall Street 
executives and telecoms and government and the like (such as WikiLeaks and 
supporters), and will be further exploited to advance the interests of 
those entities, but will never be used to constrain what they do.  These 
firms vying for Bank of America's anti-WikiLeaks business know all of this 
full well, which is why they concluded that proposing such pernicious and 
possibly illegal attacks would be deemed not just acceptable but 
commendable.

only partly true. were it entirely true we'd have some cypherpunk

Friday, Feb 11, 2011, Glenn Greenwald

There's been a very strange episode being written about the past couple of 
days involving numerous parties, including me, that I now want to comment 
on.  The story, first reported by The Tech Herald, has been been written 
about in numerous places (see Marcy Wheeler, Forbes, The Huffington Post, 
BoingBoing, Matt Yglesias, Reason, Tech Dirt, and others), so I'll provide 
just the summary. 

Last week, Aaron Barr, a top executive at computer security firm HB Gary, 
boasted to the Financial Times that his firm had infiltrated and begun to 
expose Anonymous, the group of pro-WikiLeaks hackers that had launched 
cyber attacks on companies terminating services to the whistleblowing site 
(such as Paypal, MasterCard, Visa, Amazon and others).  In retaliation, 
Anonymous hacked into the email accounts of HB Gary, published 50,000 of 
their emails online, and also hacked Barr's Twitter and other online 
accounts. 

Among the emails that were published was a report prepared by HB Gary -- in 
conjunction with several other top online security firms, including 
Palantir Technologies -- on how to destroy WikiLeaks.  The emails indicated 
the report was part of a proposal to be submitted to Bank of America 
through its outside law firm, Hunton & Williams.  News reports have 
indicated that WikiLeaks is planning to publish highly incriminating 
documents showing possible corruption and fraud at that bank, and The New 
York Times detailed last month how seriously top bank officials are taking 
that threat.  The NYT article described that the bank's "counterespionage 
work" against WikiLeaks entailed constant briefings for top executives on 
the whistle-blower site, along with the hiring of "several top law firms" 
and Booz Allen (the long-time firm of former Bush DNI Adm. Michael 
McConnell and numerous other top intelligence and defense officials).  The 
report prepared by these firms was designed to be part of the Bank of 
America's highly funded anti-WikiLeaks campaign.

The leaked report suggested numerous ways to destroy WikiLeaks, some of 
them likely illegal -- including planting fake documents with the group and 
then attacking them when published; "creat[ing] concern over the security" 
of the site; "cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on 
document submitters"; and a "media campaign to push the radical and 
reckless nature of wikileaks activities."  Many of those proposals were 
also featured prongs of a secret 2008 Pentagon plan to destroy WikiLeaks. 

One section of the leaked report focused on attacking WikiLeaks' supporters 
and it featured a discussion of me.  A graph purporting to be an 
"organizational chart" identified several other targets, including former 
New York Times reporter Jennifer 8 Lee, Guardian reporter James Ball, and 
Manning supporter David House.  The report claimed I was "critical" to 
WikiLeaks' public support after its website was removed by Amazon and that 
"it is this level of support that needs to be disrupted"; absurdly 
speculated that "without the support of people like Glenn, WikiLeaks would 
fold"; and darkly suggested that "these are established professionals that 
have a liberal bent, but ultimately most of them if pushed will choose 
professional preservation over cause."  As The Tech Herald noted, "earlier 
drafts of the proposal and an email from Aaron Barr used the word 
'attacked' over 'disrupted' when discussing the level of support."

In the wake of the ensuing controversy caused by publication of these 
documents, the co-founder and CEO of Palantir Tech, Alex Karp, has now 
issued a statement stating that he "directed the company to sever any and 
all contacts with HB Gary."  The full statement -- which can be read here 
-- also includes this sentence:  "personally and on behalf of the entire 
company, I want to publicly apologize to progressive organizations in 
general, and Mr. Greenwald in particular, for any involvement that we may 
have had in these matters."  Palantir has also contacted me by email to 
arrange for Dr. Karp to call me to personally convey the apology.  My 
primary interest is in knowing whether Bank of America retained these firms 
to execute this proposal and if any steps were taken to do so; if Karp's 
apology is genuine, that information ought to be forthcoming (as I was 
finishing writing this, Karp called me, seemed sincere enough in his 
apology, vowed that any Palantir employees involved in this would dealt 
with the way they dealt with HB Gary, and commendably committed to telling 
me by the end of the week whether Bank of America or Hunton & Williams 
actually retained these firms to carry out this proposal).

* * * * *

My initial reaction to all of this was to scoff at its absurdity.  Not 
being familiar with the private-sector world of internet security, I hadn't 
heard of these firms before and, based on the quality of the proposal, 
assumed they were just some self-promoting, fly-by-night entities of little 
significance.  Moreover, for the reasons I detailed in my interview with 
The Tech Herald -- and for reasons Digby elaborated on here -- the very 
notion that I could be forced to choose "professional preservation over 
cause" is ludicrous on multiple levels.  Obviously, I wouldn't have spent 
the last year vehemently supporting WikiLeaks -- to say nothing of 
aggressively criticizing virtually every large media outlet and many of 
their leading stars, as well as the most beloved political leaders of both 
parties -- if I were willing to choose "career preservation over cause."

But after learning a lot more over the last couple of days, I now take this 
more seriously -- not in terms of my involvement but the broader 
implications this story highlights.  For one thing, it turns out that the 
firms involved here are large, legitimate and serious, and do substantial 
amounts of work for both the U.S. Government and the nation's largest 
private corporations (as but one example, see this email from a Stanford 
computer science student about Palantir).  Moreover, these kinds of smear 
campaigns are far from unusual; in other leaked HB Gary emails, 
ThinkProgress discovered that similar proposals were prepared for the 
Chamber of Commerce to attack progressive groups and other activists 
(including ThinkProgress).  And perhaps most disturbing of all, Hunton & 
Williams was recommended to Bank of America's General Counsel by the 
Justice Department -- meaning the U.S. Government is aiding Bank of America 
in its defense against/attacks on WikiLeaks.

That's why this should be taken seriously, despite how ignorant, trite and 
laughably shallow is the specific leaked anti-WikiLeaks proposal.  As 
creepy and odious as this is, there's nothing unusual about these kinds of 
smear campaigns.The only unusual aspect here is that we happened to learn 
about it this time because of Anonymous' hacking.  That a similar scheme 
was quickly discovered by ThinkProgress demonstrates how common this 
behavior is.  The very idea of trying to threaten the careers of 
journalists and activists to punish and deter their advocacy is self-
evidently pernicious; that it's being so freely and casually proposed to 
groups as powerful as the Bank of America, the Chamber of Commerce, and the 
DOJ-recommended Hunton & Williams demonstrates how common this is.  These 
highly experienced firms included such proposals because they assumed those 
deep-pocket organizations would approve and it would make their hiring more 
likely.

But the real issue highlighted by this episode is just how lawless and 
unrestrained is the unified axis of government and corporate power.  I've 
written many times about this issue -- the full-scale merger between public 
and private spheres --  because it's easily one of the most critical yet 
under-discussed political topics.  Especially (though by no means only) in 
the worlds of the Surveillance and National Security State, the powers of 
the state have become largely privatized.  There is very little separation 
between government power and corporate power.   Those who wield the latter 
intrinsically wield the former.  The revolving door between the highest 
levels of government and corporate offices rotates so fast and continuously 
that it has basically flown off its track and no longer provides even the 
minimal barrier it once did.  It's not merely that corporate power is 
unrestrained; it's worse than that:  corporations actively exploit the 
power of the state to further entrench and enhance their power.

That's what this anti-WikiLeaks campaign is generally:  it's a concerted, 
unified effort between government and the most powerful entities in the 
private sector (Bank of America is the largest bank in the nation).  The 
firms the Bank has hired (such as Booz Allen) are suffused with the highest 
level former defense and intelligence officials, while these other outside 
firms (including Hunton & Williams and Palantir) are extremely well-
connected to the U.S. Government.  The U.S. Government's obsession with 
destroying WikiLeaks has been well-documented.  And because the U.S. 
Government is free to break the law without any constraints, oversight or 
accountability, so, too, are its "private partners" able to act lawlessly.  
That was the lesson of the Congressional vesting of full retroactive 
immunity on lawbreaking telecoms, of the refusal to prosecute any of the 
important Wall Street criminals who caused the 2008 financial crisis, and 
of the instinctive efforts of the political class to protect defrauding 
mortgage banks.  

The exemption from the rule of law has been fully transferred from the 
highest level political elites to their counterparts in the private sector.  
"Law" is something used to restrain ordinary Americans and especially those 
who oppose this consortium of government and corporate power, but it 
manifestly does not apply to restrain these elites.  Just consider one 
amazing example illustrating how this works. 

After Anonymous imposed some very minimal cyber disruptions on Paypal, 
Master Card and Amazon, the DOJ flamboyantly vowed to arrest the culprits, 
and several individuals were just arrested as part of those attacks.  But 
weeks earlier, a far more damaging and serious cyber-attack was launched at 
WikiLeaks, knocking them offline.  Those attacks were sophisticated and 
dangerous.  Whoever did that was quite likely part of either a government 
agency or a large private entity acting at its behest.  Yet the DOJ has 
never announced any investigation into those attacks or vowed to apprehend 
the culprits, and it's impossible to imagine that ever happening.

Why?  Because crimes carried out that serve the Government's agenda and 
target its opponents are permitted and even encouraged; cyber-attacks are 
"crimes" only when undertaken by those whom the Government dislikes, but 
are perfectly permissible when the Government itself or those with a 
sympathetic agenda unleash them.  Whoever launched those cyber attacks at 
WikiLeaks (whether government or private actors) had no more legal right to 
do so than Anonymous, but only the latter will be prosecuted. 

That's the same dynamic that causes the Obama administration to be obsessed 
with prosecuting WikiLeaks but not The New York Times or Bob Woodward, even 
though the latter have published far more sensitive government secrets; 
WikiLeaks is adverse to the government while the NYT and Woodward aren't, 
and thus "law" applies to punish only the former.  The same mindset drives 
the Government to shield high-level political officials who commit the most 
serious crimes, while relentlessly pursuing whistle-blowers who expose 
their wrongdoing.  Those with proximity to government power and who serve 
and/or control it are free from the constraints of law; those who threaten 
or subvert it have the full weight of law come crashing down upon them.

* * * * *

What is set forth in these proposals for Bank of America quite possibly 
constitutes serious crimes.  Manufacturing and submitting fake documents 
with the intent they be published likely constitutes forgery and fraud.  
Threatening the careers of journalists and activists in order to force them 
to be silent is possibly extortion and, depending on the specific means to 
be used, constitutes other crimes as well.  Attacking WikiLeaks' computer 
infrastructure in an attempt to compromise their sources undoubtedly 
violates numerous cyber laws.  

Yet these firms had no compunction about proposing such measures to Bank of 
America and Hunton & Williams, and even writing them down.   What accounts 
for that brazen disregard of risk?  In this world, law does not exist as a 
constraint.  It's impossible to imagine the DOJ ever, ever prosecuting a 
huge entity like Bank of America for doing something like waging war 
against WikiLeaks and its supporters.  These massive corporations and the 
firms that serve them have no fear of law or government because they 
control each.  That's why they so freely plot to target those who oppose 
them in any way.  They not only have massive resources to devote to such 
attacks, but the ability to act without limits.  John Cole put it this way:

    One thing that even the dim bulbs in the media should understand by now 
is that there is in fact a class war going on, and it is the rich and 
powerful who are waging it. Anyone who does anything that empowers the 
little people or that threatens the wealth and power of the plutocracy must 
be destroyed. There is a reason for these clowns going after Think Progress 
and unions, just like there is a reason they are targeting Wikileaks and 
Glenn Greenwald, Planned Parenthood, and Acorn. . . .

    You have to understand the mindset- they are playing for keeps. The 
vast majority of the wealth isn't enough. They want it all.  Anything that 
gets in their way must be destroyed. . . . And they are well financed, have 
a strong infrastructure, a sympathetic media, and entire organizations 
dedicated to running cover for them . . . .

    I don't even know why we bother to hold elections any more, to be 
honest, the game is so rigged. Were a banana republic, and it is just a 
matter of time before we descend into necklacing and other tribal bullshit. 

There are supposed to be institutions which limit what can be done in 
pursuit of those private-sector goals.  They're called "government" and 
"law."  But those institutions are so annexed by the most powerful private-
sector elites, and so corrupted by the public officials who run them, that 
nobody -- least of all those elites -- has any expectation that they will 
limit anything.  To the contrary, the full force of government and law will 
be unleashed against anyone who undermines Bank of America and Wall Street 
executives and telecoms and government and the like (such as WikiLeaks and 
supporters), and will be further exploited to advance the interests of 
those entities, but will never be used to constrain what they do.  These 
firms vying for Bank of America's anti-WikiLeaks business know all of this 
full well, which is why they concluded that proposing such pernicious and 
possibly illegal attacks would be deemed not just acceptable but 
commendable.

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/02/world-computer-data/

By John Timmer, Ars Technica

How much information can the world transmit, process, and store? 
Estimating this sort of thing can be a nightmare, but the task can provide 
valuable information on trends that are changing our computing and 
broadcast infrastructure. So a pair of researchers have taken the job upon 
themselves and tracked the changes in 60 different analog and digital 
technologies, from newsprint to cellular data, for a period of over 20 
years.

The trends they spot range from the expected.Internet access has pushed 
both analog and digital phones into a tiny niche.to the surprising, such 
as the fact that, in aggregate, gaming hardware has always had more 
computing power than the world.s supercomputers.

The authors were remarkably thorough. For storage media, they considered 
things like paper, film, and vinyl records, and such modern innovations as 
Blu-ray discs and memory cards. To standardize their measurements across 
media, they used Shannon.s information theory to consider data storage in 
terms of optimally compressed bits. They also tracked technology, noting 
that in the year 2000, bits of video were compressed using cinepak, which 
was far less efficient than the current MPEG-4 format; calculations were 
adjusted accordingly.

Even so, there are some significant estimations here. .For example,. the 
authors note, .after normalization on optimally compressed bits we can say 
things like .a 6 square-cm newspaper image is worth a 1,000 words...

Similar sorts of estimates are required for things like broadcast 
capability and two-way communications, both of which are compiled as 
bits-per-second figures. The researchers estimate typical consumption of 
broadcast media to figure out how much of the existing capacity is used, 
and they figure that, since telecom equipment is run to maximize the use 
of its capacity, it.s usually booked to close to its limit.

Computing capacity is converted into MIPS, and estimates for the total 
number and class of chips are available. The big question mark here is 
mostly in embedded controllers; it.s hard to estimate both their 
computational capacity and how many are out there.

So these are pretty rough estimates, but similar assumptions are made at 
all four time points examined between 1986 and 2007. That should allow 
comparisons of trends across the time period, even if the absolute values 
of the estimates are a bit off.
Storage

Some trends are very, very obvious. Analog video accounted for over half 
the data stored in 1986 (vinyl LPs and cassette tapes accounted for over a 
quarter), and video held 86 percent of all stored data by 1993, squeezing 
out nearly everything else.

By 2000, CDs and digital tape started pushing back, but analog video still 
stood at 70 percent of all stored data. By 2007, analog video had plunged 
to a tiny six percent, eclipsed by hard disks, Blu-ray and DVDs, and 
digital tape.

During that time, total storage capacity grew at about 23 percent 
annually, and it topped out at 2.9 x 1020 bytes.that.s about 300 exabytes, 
or 61 CDs for everyone on the planet.

A similar shift to digital occurred in broadcast media and two-way 
communications. Back in 1986, 80 percent of broadcast capacity was used 
for terrestrial TV, although analog cable was already a presence. Today, 
broadcast TV has fallen to 50 percent; a quarter of the broadcast data is 
now some form of digital, and analog cable is declining from its peak in 
2000.

Two-way communications underwent a far more dramatic shift. In 1986, 
analog phones handled 80 percent of the data, with digital phones taking 
the other 20 percent; everything else was a rounding error. By 2000, 
analog telephony was down to two percent of the world.s two-way 
transmissions.

Digital telephony peaked in 1993 at 67 percent; fixed Internet connections 
accounted for one percent of usage that year. By 2000, it was up to 50 
percent, and it.s now at 97 percent. Nothing else cleared one percent.

Two-way communications handled 65 exabytes in 2007, dwarfed by 
broadcasting, which sent a whopping 2 zetabytes of data. But, while 
broadcasting is increasing at a linear rate, the advent of the Internet 
has given two-way transmissions a big boost, increasing the bytes 
transmitted by a factor of 29 in just 7 years.
Computation

Computation is probably the most varied mix of hardware of the lot. Back 
in 1986, pocket calculators represented about 40 percent of all computer 
capacity, beating out PCs at 33 percent and servers at 17 percent. Even 
then, gaming hardware held a nine percent share.

Calculators were gone by 2000, when the PC peaked at 86 percent and the 
mobile phone/PDA first appeared at 3 percent. By 2007, phones held six 
percent of world processing power, but the big story was gaming hardware, 
which shot up to a quarter of the total computational capacity, pushing 
the PC back down to a two-thirds share. Supercomputers are apparently rare 
enough not to measure.

One surprising result of the research is the amount of total horsepower 
found in the application-specific space, where the authors considered only 
DSPs, microcontrollers, and GPUs (GPUs alone account for 97 percent of 
this category.s capacity). And that capacity is huge, about 30 times that 
of all the general purpose computation hardware. GPUs account for the 
lion.s share of the 6.4 x 1018 operations a second that the planet can now 
perform, and they showed a compound annual growth rate of 86 percent over 
the study period.

Lest we get too enamored with our technological prowess, however, the 
authors make some comparisons with biology. .To put our findings in 
perspective, the 6.4*1018 instructions per second that human kind can 
carry out on its general-purpose computers in 2007 are in the same 
ballpark area as the maximum number of nerve impulses executed by one 
human brain per second,. they write.

Our total storage capacity is the same as an adult human.s DNA. And there 
are several billion humans on the planet.

С 1 января 2011 года введен новый порядок расчета пособий по временной нетрудоспособности. Наряду с увеличением количества дней, оплачиваемых за счет работодателя, изменился расчетный период, включаемые в него суммы и исключаемые периоды. Нововведением явился учет заработной платы, полученной у прежних работодателей. По-иному оплачиваются периоды работы в режиме неполного рабочего времени и время простоя и т.д.

Восемнадцатого февраля 201Iг.
код: (четыре девять пять) ЧЧ5/З266 : 44/539_68

Правильное Налоговое планирование исключает фирмы-однодневки и обналичку
 

1.Что такое "черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы, обналичка, фирма-однодневка ("помойка", "недобросовестный" или "проблемный" налогоплательщик, "фонарь" и т.п.).Как выявить внешнего контрагента-однодневку и исключить отношения с ним.

2.Обналичивание. Для чего используется:
-"черная" зарплата и доходы собственников бизнеса;
-оплата расходов, которые не хочется проводить официально;
-незаконная деятельность (взятки, откаты, финансирование политической деятельности…);

Законные альтернативы (только для законных целей!):
-зарплата и дивиденды на спецрежимах, выплата процентов, компенсаций, аренда, покупка у физлиц ТМЦ, ИП на ЕНВД или УСН (в т.ч. на патенте) – как использовать;
-дарение физлицом наличных денег, заработанных в качестве ИП – легальная альтернатива обналичиванию, дающая безналоговый доход? Текущая ситуация с обложением таких доходов НДФЛ. Получение наличных по чеку на расходы ИП, через личные (карточные) счета, по сделкам с другими ИП, занимающимися розницей, общепитом, услугами населению и т.п.;
-зарплата в большом размере - нулевая ставка страховых взносов;
-платежи от нерезидентов на карты, основания. Аутстафинг от нерезидента;
-перевод расходов в безналичную форму. Представительские расходы.

3.Однодневки. Для чего используются:
-псевдооптимизация НДС и налога на прибыль в отдельных сделках или всей деятельности;
--"серый импорт";
--"серая конвертация";
--незаконная деятельность.

Законные альтернативы однодневкам (только для законных целей!):
-затратные механизмы или трансфертное ценообразование с участием низконалоговых субъектов;
-выявление (создание) покупателей (заказчиков), не нуждающихся в вычете НДС, разделение финансовых потоков "с НДС" и "без НДС";
-простое товарищество с участием субъектов УСН и/или нерезидентов, работа по агентским или комиссионным договорам с ними;
-прямой импорт с использованием или не использованием трансфертных цен и затратных механизмов;
-выплата нерезидентам дивидендов, роялти, процентов вклады в их уставные капиталы, покупка акций, инвестиции и т.п.

4.Расчет налоговой нагрузки на примере. Каковы будут (и будут ли) потери при отказе от "черных" схем. Когда при этом можно даже сэкономить.

Стоимость участия в семинаре 7 900 рублей

ВСЕ ОФФШОРНЫЕ СХЕМЫ за раз понятным человеческим языком!
  Как законно снижать налоги в 2011-м? Как построить хорошую торговую схему? Как торговать с Европой, США, СНГ, Китаем? Как вернуть в РФ оффшорный капитал? Как снизить таможенные платежи? Как построить рабочую схему с займами? Анализ схемы с роялти, агентской, схемы владения, дивидендной и др.
  Как обосновать оффшорную деловую цель? Как защитить и скрыть владельца? У каких налоговых решений &quot;истекает срок годности&quot;? Есть ли альтернатива Кипру? Кто такие &quot;номиналы&quot; и чем они опасны? Как проверить чистоту &quot;готовой&quot; компании? Кто отвечает по долгам оффшора? Что делать если пропал оффшорный администратор? Как крадут информацию о клиентах из банков? Рейтинг банков, допустивших утечки. Как ФНС разбивает оффшорные схемы? Вопросы про VAT-ID и НДС. Обмен информацией между странами. Опасные ошибки схемотехники! 
  Ответы на эти и многие другие вопросы мы впервые собрали и систематизировали в рамках одного семинара, который предлагаем Вашему вниманию:
ОФФШОРНАЯ СХЕМОТЕХНИКА: ПРАКТИКА 100 ВАЖНЫХ ВОПРОСОВ
  Ежегодные семинар-практикум 3-го Марта в Москве
  от международной консалтинговой компании и крупнейшего банка Кипра
Зарегистрироваться и получить полный список всех 100 вопросов: +7 (495) 697-36-67; +7 (916) 340-58-29
Этот семинар будет полезен для тех, кто только делает свои первые, оффшорные &quot;шаги&quot;. Хотя, и тем, кто налоговые решения уже строить умеет, мы бы рекомендовали проверить их на ошибки.
  
  В рамках данного семинара мы расскажем обо ВСЕХ, наиболее часто используемых налоговых решениях. Решений таких получилось 22 штуки, а хорошо разбираться в них помогут ответы на 100 конкретно поставленных вопросов.
  Для начала мы подробно остановимся на вопросах, связанных с базовыми понятиями &quot;схемотехники&quot;: Что такое оффшоры, оншоры, номиналы, агенты, бенефициары, трастовые декларации, кто, кого и как контролирует, скрывает и защищает, кто, чем владеет, управляет и за что несет ответственность. Что такое постоянное представительство и налоги у источника, когда они возникают, на что влияют и чем опасны. Как регистрируются и сопровождаются компании-нерезиденты, сколько это стоит, как быстро происходит, чем и как &quot;набиваются&quot; уставники, куда оплачиваются, насколько часто и проблемно сдаются отчеты и, что будет, если их сдавать нулевыми. По каким принципам должны строиться устойчивые схемы, как выбирать &quot;белые&quot; юрисдикции, каких &quot;черных списков&quot; стоит бояться и где их искать, в каких юрисдикциях &quot;оставаться&quot;, а какие &quot;обходить стороной&quot;?
  
  В итоге мы разберем каждую из 22-х схем на предмет налоговых последствий и рисков, рассмотрим какие компании и страны могут быть для таких решений идеальными, а какие – &quot;запасными&quot; вариантами. Рассмотрим принципы построения схем владения, конфиденциальности и защиты активов и их владельцев. Подробно остановимся на вопросах выбора обслуживающего банка и, конкретно, на их тарифах, требованиях, скорости обслуживания, гарантиях, &quot;болтливости&quot;, лояльности и защищенности от утечек информации о клиентах (через межгосударственные запросы или банальную кражу данных).
  И в заключении, рассмотрим каждую схему на предмет наиболее распространенных ошибок и сбоев.
  В итоге, &quot;перетрясем&quot; 22 схемы, 40 юрисдикций и 32 банка.
Хватит искать &quot;проверенные схемы&quot; в интернете и слушать оффшорные басни людей, разбирающихся в теме поверхностно!
  Не стоит строить налоговые решения наугад. Научитесь САМИ разбираться в проблеме.
  Не забывайте, что за налоговые ошибки может последовать и уголовное наказание.

          Группа предприятий занимается разведением, выращиванием и племенной продажей крупного рогатого скота абердин-ангусской породы. К продаже предлагаются высококлассные животные с подтвержденным генетическим потенциалом и объективной оценочной стоимостью. Животные имеют всю соответствующую сопроводительную документацию, подтверждающую их племенную ценность и качество.
              Скот комолый (безрогий), чёрной масти. У животных короткие, правильно поставленные ноги и хорошо выраженные мясные формы; туловище широкое и глубокое, с ровной линией верха; шея короткая, незаметно сливающаяся с плечом и головой; поясница и крестец хорошо выполнены, мускулатура окорока опускается до скакательного сустава и хорошо развита. Скот быстро и хорошо откармливается и по округлости форм, скороспелости и качеству туш он стоит на первом месте. Кожа рыхлая, тонкая, эластичная; костяк животных тонкий и составляет 15 √ 18% веса туши, а жировые прослойки в мускульных волокнах повышают нежность, вкусовые и питательные качества мяса. Мясо отличается мраморностью. При скрещивании с другими породами животные очень хорошо передают потомству мясные качества. Высота в холке 120 √ 150 см; ширина груди 45 √ 65 см; ширина в маклоках 50 √ 60 см; косая длина туловища 135 √ 140 см. Продуктивность: живая масса коров 500 √ 550 кг, быков √ 750 √ 950 килограмм; новорожденных соответственно 16 √ 28 кг. Телят выращивают на подсосе до 8 месяцев, чему способствует сильно развитый материнский инстинкт коров. Среднесуточный прирост 700 √ 800 г, убойный выход 60%. Затраты корма на 1 кг привеса составляют 6.5 кормовых единиц. 
              Племенных быков, так же предлагаемых предприятием на продажу, можно использовать не только в мясном скотоводстве, но и в молочных хозяйствах для скрещивания с коровами молочных пород и получения помесного молодняка, обладающего свойствами мясной породы. 
              Вы можете получить более подробную информацию, фотографии животных и оставить заявку на посещение племенного репродуктора, в котором содержится скот по указанному телефону.

   Двадцать восьмое февраля

Налоговое планирование налогообложения доходов с физических лиц. (НДФЛ, страховые взносы)

8 (495) ЧЧ_5З9.68 ; ЧЧ5.3968

Цель:
Ставка обязательных страховых взносов с зарплаты с 2011 года составляет 34% почти для всех плательщиков (включая субъектов УСН и ЕНВД). При этом регрессивная шкала ЕСН заменена отменой уплаты взносов с суммы дохода свыше 463 тыс. рублей, но доступно это будет только для высокооплачиваемых сотрудников. Если вспомнить про 13% НДФЛ и НДС, который тоже косвенно является налогом на зарплату, то многие предприниматели и руководители видят только один путь – назад, к "черным" схемам.

Курс посвящен поиску путей выживания компаний в новой ситуации при условии легальности всех выплат доходов физическим лицам. Участники узнают, как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать "зарплатные" налоги с учетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденций развития правоприменительной практики.

Программа:

1. Обзор изменений законодательства, связанных с повышением ставки страховых взносов. Сколько и каких налогов и взносов платят предприятия и ИП на общей системе налогообложения и спецрежимах в 2011 гг. Какие схемы стали невыгодными; у каких налогоплательщиков положение даже улучшилось.

2. Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. "Черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы. Классификация методов оптимизации налогообложения доходов физических лиц.

3. Использование специальных налоговых режимов:

 * в каком случае выплата зарплаты на спецрежимах сохраняет актуальность в 2011 г.;

 * дивидендные схемы – замена выплаты зарплате на "упрощенке"? Нюансы, рекомендации. Выплата квартальных дивидендов ежемесячно частями. Выплаты из прибыли в АО, ООО, производственном кооперативе ("народном предприятии"). Расчет эффективности,

 * договоры с предпринимателем: возмездного оказания услуг, выполнения работ, агентский, транспортные услуги, механизм трансфертных цен, штрафные санкции, аренда и пр. Расчет эффективности,

 * дарение физлицом наличных денег, заработанных в качестве предпринимателя: легальная альтернатива обналичиванию, дающая безналоговый доход? Выбор банков, проблемы, связанные с кассовой дисциплиной и политикой ЦБ. Текущая ситуация с обложением таких доходов НДФЛ.

4. Условия применения всех схем: Непритворный характер заключаемых сделок. Экономическая целесообразность расходов ("деловая цель", "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций). Грамотное обоснование цен и документальное оформление расходов. Неаффилированность, прямые и косвенные признаки аффилированности, ее негативные последствия и когда она допустима; "искусственное дробление бизнеса с целью уклонения от уплаты налогов" (подход "как к ЮКОСу"); "деловые цели", обосновывающие деление бизнеса. Самостоятельность низконалоговых субъектов.

5. Использование вспомогательных организаций:
 * "инвалидные" организации и их филиалы, актуальность;
 * страховые компании. Страхование жизни работников и ДМС за счет предприятия.

6. Использование иностранных (низконалоговых) компаний. Корпоративные или личные пластиковые карты иностранных банков. Перевод на них или на карты российских банков зарплат, гонораров и иных легальных доходов от нерезидентов.

7. Как компенсировать "выпадение" отчислений в Пенсионный фонд на накопительную часть пенсии, в ФСС и ФОМС при применении налоговых схем, не предусматривающих выплату зарплаты.

8. Использование процентных займов от физлиц. Расчет эффективности.

9. Специальные методы. Все виды компенсаций (за несвоевременную выплату заработной платы, за использование личного имущества, за разъездной характер работы, "золотые парашюты" и др.). Выплата арендной платы. Закуп у физлиц ТМЦ. Суточные. Обучение сотрудников с заключением ученического договора, как способ налогового планирования.

10. Потребительское кредитование, компенсация процентов по ипотечным кредитам и другие эффективные способы замены заработной платы безналоговыми источниками материальной выгоды,

11. Создание недоимки по налогам с ФОТ на фирме, не обремененной активами – пример "серой" схемы (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!),

12. Способы подтверждения источников крупных расходов физлиц и когда это необходимо.

13. Ответы на вопросы. По желанию – индивидуальное экспресс-моделирование схем налогового планирования для компаний-участниц семинара.

The exploits of Anonymous to hack the systems of firms
providing spying services to governments and corporations
suggest that the WikiLeaks mini-era has been surpassed.

Much of WikiLeaks promise to protect sources is useless 
if the sources are not whistleblowers needing a forum for 
publication. Instead publishers of secret information grab it 
directly for posting to Torrent for anybody to access
without mediation and mark-up by self-esteemed peddlers 
of protection, interpretationa and authentication, including 
media cum scholars.

Arstechnica descriptions of the how the Anonymous hack
are the best reading of Internet derring-do yet and far exceeds 
the much simpler version of WikiLeaks carefully bruited 
as if precious but is not according to Daniel Domscheit-Berg's 
revelations.

AnonLeaks.ru is a remarkable advance of WikiLeaks. And
promises much more by the same means and methods most
associated with official spies -- NSA and CIA run the Special 
Collections Service to do exactly that kind of criminal 
aggression, along with black bag burglaries, surveillance 
and bugging. Contractors hiring ex-spies do much of this 
highly classified work as well and invent and supply the 
gadgets and front organizations required.

Not least of importance of the Anonymous hack and the many
preceding it is the revelation of how commercial firms have 
been exploiting public ignorance of their spying capacity. 
That they are themselves vulnerable is a surprise to them, 
as it must  be to those who hire them and, in the case of 
governments, provide legal cover for criminal actions.

This is not news, to be sure, for it has been alleged and
reported on for decades but mostly in technical journals
and conferences where offerers strut their malwares to
buyers of perfidium.

Imagine that instead of the many iterations of Wikileaks
now appearing to receive and publish documents, that 
more of the Anonymous-type hacks simply steal the family 
jewels of the spies, officials, lobbyists and corporations 
believing they own the territory in order to show the 
extent of their secret predations on the public.

The digitization of vast archives of government, commercial
and non-governmental organizations to facilitate their
hegemony provides a bounty to be hacked repeatedly
despite attempts to prevent it by vainly inept cybersecurity
agencies and firms.

The cyber officials yell, hit the Internet Switch. Too late, too 
late. Anonymous controls the switch.  Sure, Anonymous
can be compromised with sufficient hostile and friendly
inducements, but so can the predators, perhaps moreso
the latter.

I like that venerable Anonymous and the promise it offers 
as the Nymous authoritatives of secrecy frantically attempt 
to ban its privilege. 

For the WL era dutifully enshrine Julian Assange and Bradley
Manning, give them Medals of Freedom as icons of what led 
to the rise of Unnamables worldwide.

I commend Ketih for that unbreakable domain name.

This seems preety hefty on ambition and pretty low on details.  Is he 
planning on these wal-wart "servers" acting as TOR nodes?  Universally 
accessable wifi spots?  FreeNet nodes, or LAFS servers?  

I think what bugs me the most here is that the basic premise appears 
intrinsically flawed: On Inet-1, everyone can see who you are - it's an 
artifact of the construction goals originally designed for.

I'd want to see some more meat and less fluff before I looked any deeper.

I haven't checked in a few months, but last time I did, he was in "special 
housing" (solitary).  I don't expect anyone is likely to hear from him 
until his entire sentence has been served, along with a few sentence 
tacked on along the way for good measure (as seems to have already 
happened to him several times already).

Whatever it is or turns out to be it will be carefully and meticulously
legal. No crossing the line into criminality or the organizer will have
to shop your ass in accord with governmental regulations governing 
the practice of law sometimes laughingly called the bar.

There is a decent-sized legal and financial (they always sleep together)
industry of setting up non-profits to advance alluring agendas. All 
legal and financially accountable as determined by inscrutible
taxation laws and those who sell scrutibility by the unlimited hours.

The schemes cover the broad spectrum of left, moderate, right, extreme,
covert, deceptive, manipulative, hit and run, offshore, out of this
world, you want your very own why no problem provide retainer
sign here be in touch soon. Head for the tracks to leverage for
three lovers want their dues.

Anybody with over $500,000 to squander, and they all need to do
that or Uncle takes a big bite, is incessantly proffered opportunities
to fund a perfect fit for the psychopathology used to attain the
wealth and to battle the accompanying terror of losing it to
another psycho like the government or the latest bedmate
of amazing understanding of the greeder's weakness due to
being a world class shit.

The Internet has upchucked thousands of these NGO 
facilitators who spam conferences, mail lists, chat rooms, 
dinners, panels, and oddball conclaves of wealth managers
all seeking to promote goodness to bad guys with a foot
in the grave, they are reminded unctuously, would you not
like to consider a heritage to whiten your name.

One way to fend off these leeches is to ask about their
fee, not the pro bono sham, the fees for lecturing, drafting
incorporation papers, sitting on boards, doing due diligence
(be very afraid of due diligence for that will get you jail
time, tell'em Jim Bell), defending and offending in court, 
publishing how-tos, escrowing bribes and alimony,
the usually panoply of self-dealing in guise of public
benefit, uh, protecting the client.

Another way to fend off these bloodsuckers is to ask for
advice on how to engage in criminal "public benefit."
Whoa, he says, whoa, whoa, now way. I could be disbarred
for that. You say, what would be your fee to cover
that risk. Excuse me, she will say, I need to step out for
a moment. You hear a dime dropping. Not calling the
cops, calling a financial advisor.

None of this applies to jail house lawyers or pro se.

Anybody heard from Jim Bell? Not a peep heard here
in his third go around. Is he being Bradley Manning'd?

I'm tired of hearing the current calls for "mesh networks" myself. As you 
point out, they are *incredibly* complex, and these "wall-wart servers" 
aren't going to implement that kind of thing IMO.  Christ, large ISPs 
still have trouble with simple IP, and they have "trained [or] experienced 
'engineers'".  It's a silly call to arms at this point.

I was with a group that tried to work out a mesh implementation across a 
relatively small (~15sq miles) area, and it never came to fruition, 
despite several years of work on the problems presented.

I don't even see *that* coming from this particular ?press release?.  Just 
a "build it and people will do it" [hrmm.. Build it and They will come". 
Where have I heard *that* before?] theme, with no particular goal in mind 
other than wide "implementation (which is glaringly undefined)".  Whats 
the point, and how do I know that these guys are even competent to decide 
on a goal - just because they're with EFF?  A lawyer who likes to code is 
a *long* way from the kind of talent that can make these little things 
useful for anything more than maybe [sntp server||dns server-small||etc.).
Has anyone looked at the scaling problems of having these warts fully 
disseminated into the population, and "plugged in"?

Like I said, it sounds like some vague, undefined project that nobody has 
yet actually looked at with any seriousness.

Decentralizing the Internet So Big Brother Canbt Find You

By JIM DWYER

On Tuesday afternoon, as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in
Washington about the Internet and human liberty, a Columbia law professor in
Manhattan, Eben Moglen, was putting together a shopping list to rebuild the
Internet b this time, without governments and big companies able to watch
every twitch of our fingers.

The list begins with bcheap, small, low-power plug servers,b Mr. Moglen said.
bA small device the size of a cellphone charger, running on a low-power chip.
You plug it into the wall and forget about it.b

Almost anyone could have one of these tiny servers, which are now produced
for limited purposes but could be adapted to a full range of Internet
applications, he said.

bThey will get very cheap, very quick,b Mr. Moglen said. bTheybre $99; they
will go to $69. Once everyone is getting them, they will cost $29.b

The missing ingredients are software packages, which are available at no cost
but have to be made easy to use. bYou would have a whole system with privacy
and security built in for the civil world we are living in,b he said. bIt
stores everything you care about.b

Put free software into the little plug server in the wall, and you would have
a Freedom Box that would decentralize information and power, Mr. Moglen said.
This month, he created the Freedom Box Foundation to organize the software.

bWe have to aim our engineering more directly at politics now,b he said.
bWhat has happened in Egypt is enormously inspiring, but the Egyptian state
was late to the attempt to control the Net and not ready to be as remorseless
as it could have been.b

Not many law professors have Mr. Moglenbs credentials as lawyer and geek, or,
for that matter, his record as an early advocate for what looked like very
long shots.

Growing up on the West Side of Manhattan, he began fooling around with
computers as a boy. In 1973, at age 14, he was employed writing programs for
the Scientific Time Sharing Corporation. At 26, he was a young lawyer,
clerking for Justice Thurgood Marshall. Later, he got a Ph.D. in history from
Yale. He was also the lawyer for the Free Software Foundation, headed by
Richard M. Stallman, which aggressively b and successfully b protected the
ability of computer scientists, hackers and hobbyists to build software that
was not tied up by copyright, licensing and patents.

In the first days of the personal computer era, many scoffed at the idea that
free software could have an important place in the modern world. Today, it is
the digital genome for millions of phones, printers, cameras, MP3 players,
televisions, the Pentagon, the New York Stock Exchange and the computers that
underpin Googlebs empire.

This month, Mr. Moglen, who now runs the Software Freedom Law Center, spoke
to a convention of 2,000 free-software programmers in Brussels, urging them
to get to work on the Freedom Box.

Social networking has changed the balance of political power, he said, bbut
everything we know about technology tells us that the current forms of social
network communication, despite their enormous current value for politics, are
also intensely dangerous to use. They are too centralized; they are too
vulnerable to state retaliation and control.b

In January, investors were said to have put a value of about $50 billion on
Facebook, the social network founded by Mark Zuckerberg. If revolutions for
freedom rest on the shoulders of Facebook, Mr. Moglen said, the
revolutionaries will have to count on individuals who have huge stakes in
keeping the powerful happy.

bIt is not hard, when everybody is just in one big database controlled by Mr.
Zuckerberg, to decapitate a revolution by sending an order to Mr. Zuckerberg
that he cannot afford to refuse,b Mr. Moglen said.

By contrast, with tens of thousands of individual encrypted servers, there
would be no one place where a repressive government could find out who was
publishing or reading bsubversiveb material.

In response to Mr. Moglenbs call for help, a group of developers working in a
free operating system called Debian have started to organize Freedom Box
software. Four students from New York University who heard a talk by Mr.
Moglen last year have been building a decentralized social network called
Diaspora.

Mr. Moglen said that if he could raise bslightly north of $500,000,b Freedom
Box 1.0 would be ready in one year.

bWe should make this far better for the people trying to make change than for
the people trying to make oppression,b Mr. Moglen said. bBeing connected
works.b

25 Февраля

Тема: НЕДОБРОСОВЕСТНЫЕ ПОСТАВЩИКИ. КАК СОХРАНИТЬ ВЫЧЕТЫ, УЙТИ ОТ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ

   код: (четыре девять пять) 792/-21./22 ; Ч*Ч-5.З*2-/6_6

Цель обучения: Обучающий курс даст слушателям ответ на то, как правильно заключать договоры и что делать, если он ошибся, но при этом хотел бы сохранить свои налоговые обязательства без изменений. Слушатели будут точно знать, что и как отвечать налоговой инспекции в случае проверки таких контрагентов. Поймут, как можно уйти от НДС без последствий.

В период кризисных явлений в экономике, и как следствие острой нужды государства в пополнении бюджета, ФНС ужесточила требования к проверкам - повысила границу результативности проверок до миллиона рублей (приказ ФНС ╧409), а также предложила идти простым путем √ находить среди контрагентов налогоплательщика компании, которые подпадают под признаки недобросовестных и лишать налогоплательщика налоговых льгот полученных в результате взаимодействия с такими организациями (Приказ ФНС России ╧ММ-3-2/467@).

Практика свидетельствует, что практически все проверки налогоплательщиков применяющих ОСН затрагивают данный вопрос с негативными для налогоплательщика последствиями. При этом налоговый орган исключает из состава затрат НП и вычетов по НДС суммы по контрагентам, которые, например, просто не отвечают на запрос в рамках встречных проверок, либо не заплатили налоги и т.п. Подчас очень тяжело отстоять свою правоту в спорах с налоговым органом.

Курс посвящен вопросу защиты налогоплательщика, призван помочь ему как не погрязнуть в тотальных проверках своих контрагентов, так и впоследствии защитить свои права по взаимоотношениям я такими компаниями.

На Обучении не только будут показаны способы противодействия придиркам налоговой, но и будут разобраны способы заключения договоров, которые в принципе исключают возможность признания лица недобросовестным, а также законные способы снижение налоговой нагрузки по НДС в том случае, если налогоплательщик в этом заинтересован.

Программа:
1. Методические указания Минфина о назначении выездных налоговых проверок (включая Приказ ФНС от 22.09.10 N ММB-7-2/461@, Приказ УФНС по г. Москве от 1 сентября 2008 г ╧409 и др.)

2. Методические указания Минфина по поиску недобросовестных контрагентов. Рассмотрение мер, которые планирует принять Минфин, Минюст по борьбе с однодневками. 

3. Основания признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной (на основании судебной практики, писем Минфина, практики проверок).

4. Что необходимо сделать, чтобы проявить разумную осмотрительность. Какие документы и какую информацию о контрагенте необходимо собрать.

5. Как защититься от претензий налогового органа о том, что контрагент:
 * не платит налоги и не сдает отчетность;
 * не отвечает на встречные проверки;
 * не находиться по месту регистрации, либо зарегистрирован по адресу массовой регистрации;
 * директор БОМЖ, ничего не подписывал, его подпись подделали и т.п.
 * директор является "массовым", в отношении руководителя проводятся розыскные мероприятия;
 * проведенный осмотр показал, что компания не могла отгрузить товар с адреса, указанного в накладной, счете-фактуре;
 * коды ОКВЭД контрагента не позволяют ему произвести действия, которые он якобы произвел по отношению к налогоплательщику (не может выполнять работы, поставлять товар и тп., так как создан для иных целей);
 * иные претензии.

6. Анализ предмета доказывания по спорам о получении необоснованной налоговой выгоды. Установление размера требований по подобным делам. Взыскание всех ранее заявленных вычетов и расходов как нарушение принципа соразмерности и справедливости. Анализ аналогичной практики Европейского Суда.

7. Разбор основных ошибок допускаемых налоговыми органами в процессе доказывания получение налоговый выгоды (встречные проверки реально не проводятся, а данные берется из компьютерной системы учета, вместо допросов проводиться опрос, вместо экспертизы получаются заключения специалиста и т.п.). Как использовать ошибки (подробно).

8. Создание преюдиции для доказывания реальности сделки.

9. Способ ухода от признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной при заключении договоров с поставщиками при помощи посредника. Как построить договор, чтобы претензии по поставщикам нельзя было предъявить.

10. Уход от признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной путем особого способа заключения договоров.

11. Уход от уплаты НДС с наценки путем:
 * заключения договора с дополнительной выгодой;
 * включение условий о неустойки;
 * использование простого товарищества.

12. Кто отвечает за работу с недобросовестными контрагентами (директор или бухгалтер) и в какой части. Рассмотрение основных законодательных инициатив и принятых в последнее время законов, направленных на борьбу с "однодневками".

13. Потеря документов по недобросовестным поставщикам. Налоговые последствия. Указания Минфина по привлечению к ответственности в таком случае. Способ защиты от налоговых претензий. Является ли потеря документов защитой от претензий правоохранительных органов.
14. Анализ возможности рассмотрения любого налогового спора в Арбитражном суде г. Москвы, как способ обойти негативную практику конкретного региона.
15. Изменение практики компенсации судебных издержек.
16. Ответы на индивидуальные вопросы.

The (obvious) meme going around is "we'll just set up a mesh".

You can stop reading when you see that.  A mesh network that does the 
things these people want it to do is currently rocket-science hard.

It can be done, and I'd be the first one celebrating, but from the mouths 
of these morons its just mental masturbation.

I think they're drafting up the specs. Tor would be a save idea,
ip2 and LAFS-Tahoe another.

Not necessarily WiFi, thogh if the wall wart has a radio, why
not. Just another NIC.

I think you're being too harsh here. These are wired nodes, running
vanilla current p2p stuff. Tor e.g. might not scale to a meganode,
but it would be fun to find out when and how it breaks.

I notice you didn't comment on the sketch I gave you. While
not a rocket surgeon, the issue of routing by itself is doable,
provided you meet certain constraints. I wish I had time to 
write a simulator for that to prove a few points.

Let's compare notes. I tell you how I think it could be done, and
you take it apart. Deal?

Subject: Reliably Erasing Data From Flash-Based Solid State Drives
In-Reply-To: <20110218083553.GQ23560@leitl.org>

Abstract:
Reliably erasing data from storage media (sanitizing the media) is a critical
component of secure data management. While sanitizing entire disks and
individual files is well-understood for hard drives, flash-based solid state
disks have a very different internal architecture, so it is unclear whether
hard drive techniques will work for SSDs as well. We empirically evaluate the
effectiveness of hard drive-oriented techniques and of the SSDsb built-in
sanitization commands by extracting raw data from the SSDbs flash chips
after applying these techniques and commands.

Our results lead to three conclusions:
First, built-in commands are effective, but manufacturers sometimes implement
them incorrectly.
Second, overwriting the entire visible address space of an SSD twice is
usually, but not always, sufficient to sanitize the drive. Third, none of the
existing hard drive-oriented techniques for individual file sanitization are
effective on SSDs.
This third conclusion leads us to develop flash translation layer extensions
that exploit the details of flash memorybs behavior to efficiently support
file sanitization. Overall, we find that reliable SSD sanitization requires
built-in, verifiable sanitize operations.

Thats not as easy as it sounds, especially in hyperdense cities - although 
I will also admit that this is more a 70% administrative issue than an 
technical issue.

It's unlikely that anyone in their right minds is going to just open up 
their networks to both unlimited and unmonitored connections, but even if 
they do, they are going to demand some allocation control and 
accountability.  Not that it's necessary for any technical reason, but 
because it's required for the people who both pay the network bills and 
receive FBI "letters" / subpoenas: even the smallest networks have some 
kind of "security department", even if it's the same guy who does 
everything else there.  This is where the idea truly breaks down.  I 
wouldn't allow an open wifi connection when I know that any illicit 
activities are going to come back to haunt *me* when the FBI does their 
next "predator sweep".  No municipality is going to allow geocoded/derived 
addressing for the exact same reason: they want to be able to point the 
finger when the time comes.  They also want to know if your node is acting 
up, where they can go /phone to make you fix it.  

Mesh networks are a political disaster *before* anyactual engineering time 
goes in.  But if you are lucky enough to get past the politics (hard.  
really hard.), then you start down the actual engineering pipe: traffic 
planning and engineering is at best difficult, at worst impossible, 
without centralized control. So do we just assume that the warts know not 
to exceed bandwidth(x), and plan for max(y) warts per square 
mile/kilometer?  Do we assume that all these warts are going to be using 
passive connections for ftp?  this road leads back to political questions 
by the way. 

The residential carriers will go postal if 100k home connections are 
suddenly offering services and draining back through the cable/dsl drains, 
against their AUP/ToS. If you choose to create layer 2 drain solutions you 
are back to tight and centralized allocation control.

This was a municipal project, so I can't point you anywhere: sorry.  As 
for what went wrong: everything.  Everyone who touches the mesh has 
questions/issues of the nature I alluded to above.  Muni IT demands to be 
able to track back every ip to a known user, meaning any kind of 
geolocation solution is gone right off the bat.  By the way, the reasoning 
here wasn't what I was expecting: they were more concerned with virus 
control and quarantine (which implies a separate layer 2 sandbox for 
infected connections, or connections carrying infected traffic where such 
can be accurately and reliably determined - which is about 50% of the 
time).  The muni wanted a known IP for each user, with certain wifi 
hotspots exempted to local rfc1913 networks using DHCP.  We had 
interesting times with these hotspots too!  Not having enough IPs on a 
public wifi segment causes weird behaviour that the basic call desk cant 
troubleshoot, and that they don't recognize as being broken - so these 
spots get reputations as being "unreliable".  Significant automation was 
assembled just to keep track of required resources vs actual available 
resources, with traps going out when automation sees something we dont. 

The traffic engineering issues are perverse.  Meditate on them for a 
little while, and consider all of the ways you can slice your own throat.  
Is a steady rise in users a trend, or did the bookings for conventions 
just have a good year?  Are you meeting peak demand, or are you 
oversubscribing on your backbone?  *Is* there a backbone?  Lots of 
questions at layers 1 and 2!  In fact, layer 2 is where you're going to 
spend a *lot* of your time, unlike the operation of a more traditional IP 
network, where you spend the vast majority of your time at layer 3.  
Segregation is a necessary ingredient, as well as scanning-on-allocation 
to check for blatantly rooted connections.  This gets tricky as hell.

We were asked to plan for each muni supporting drains for the connections 
made within their geographic areas: oops! Looks like I want geo-derived 
addresses again!  Except that these same munis have the additional 
condition of only wanting to allocate for their own taxpayers: oops!  Back 
to centralized control and allocation...  Round and round you go...

Everyone here knows IP well, and can add a hundred things that I've not 
touched on.  Every time you add a condition, you increase complexity, and 
these increases are *not* linear!

> I can tell you one thing: Eben Moglen is not a stupid man, and he's

I never alleged that he was stupid.  I know he's no moron.  But he's also 
not thinking this through, he's looking to build the device before he 
knows his application.  Thats fine for general purpose machinery with lots 
of cycles and storage to spare, but a wart is likely to be max'd out at 
ultra-small storage and cpu limits:  virtually every wart-driven device 
was designed to act as a simple bridge or router, which requires 
surprisingly little computing power: An old 386 is massive overkill for 
acting as a router on lines up to about 3mbps - while these warts may have 
more *cycles* available than an old throwaway box, they are going to have 
[at best] a few hundred megabytes of flash storage: not a lot of room 
there for anything meaningful.

I can assume people will do *something* with them, but *useful* things, 
no, I cannot just assume that - that will be something I'll have to see to 
believe.

I fail to see where they're mentioning the word mesh at all.
If I would do it, I would just package Tor, Tahoe-LAFS, I2P
and maybe a couple other select goodies (tinc, opportunistic
encryption, whatever), and put it on the residential Internet.

If you recall I repeatedly suggested that here and elsewhere,
to the overwhelming sound of crickets.

If you're talking mesh, one of the basic requirements is to get
rid of central address allocation authority and establish
a local-knowledge based routing. If you get that far, the
human operator mistakes are removed from the loop.

I can tell you one thing: Eben Moglen is not a stupid man, and he's

for 10-100 k wall wart units you can assume people will do useful
things with them.

I was really interested in Plug Computers a year or two ago, and I have a 
couple development units.  For this kind of application, it seems that a 
certain range of applications, like personal servers and remote access to 
archives, is obvious (and there is an "app plug computer" for that, about 
$100).  For really solving the decentralized problem, you'd want to pair it 
with mesh communications.  I see several possibilities.  Wifi-Wifi would be 
great, but there are antenna and power issues in many cases.  
Wifi-cellphone-picocell is more interesting because cell phones already can 
make significantly more distance than typical WiFi.  This is also 
interesting if you add in resilient routing / store and forward / dynamic 
multi-modal addressing (including geo).  Ideally, you can cover any 
distance and gaps for at least some transmission, and great transmission 
when possible, by opportunistically hitching a ride on any device to any 
device proximity.

These devices (plug computers, smart phones, picocells, wifi base stations, 
bluetooth, zigbee) are inexpensive and low power enough that they could be 
just about everywhere.  Every vehicle, street light / signal, business, 
person, and even important street surfaces and similar could be wirelessed 
with an open, cooperative, protocol.  Doing it while controlling abuse and  
making use fair is the problem.

The biggest hard problem is probably preventing bombing by e-signal.  Some 
possible solutions: A) blackout in appropriate conditions (hard to prevent 
abuse of) and B) super-tracing / persistent following after the fact when a 
bad event happens and enough people vote for extreme transparency.  In 
other words, detect the explosion or whatever, people hit the panic button, 
and every possible trigger is tracked back to a likely source and those 
sources are tracked for some time using all methods.

There are a number of obvious apps for this kind of network: shotspotter (a 
la Bump) for all devices.  Person-aware (what I mentioned yesterday a la 
traffic safety to prevent hitting children and animals in congested traffic 
areas).  Emergency service / help expediting.

"Tiny fraction" is putting it mildly. I once considered starting up a  
low-infrastructure wireless ISP using mesh radio based on wifi radio  
technology adapted to work in licensed bands.

If you work out the numbers, the bandwidth you get in any substantial  
deployment is pitiful compared to technologies like DSL and cable modems, 
let alone fiber.

New technologies such as distributed space-time multipath coding on the  
wireless side, and multipath network coding on the bitstream side, look  
like the way forward on this, but these are brand new, and still the  
subject of research -- you certainly can't just hot-wire these onto wifi  
hardware.

Indeed.

The fact that the usable bandwidth resulting from ad-hoc mesh wiki would  
be tiny compared to broadband connections doesn't mean this sort of thing 
isn't worth trying: a few tens of kilobits a second is plenty for speech, 
and even a few hundred bits per second useful for basic text messaging.

Given that the cost of doing this is almost zero, since only software is  
required to implement it on any modern wifi/GPS equipped mobile hardware, 
this seems like a great thing to have in the general portfolio of 
networking technologies: having something like this available could be 
invaluable in disaster/crisis situations.

Тема: НЕДОБРОСОВЕСТНЫЕ ПОСТАВЩИКИ. КАК СОХРАНИТЬ ВЫЧЕТЫ, УЙТИ ОТ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ

   (Ч95) ЧЧ53266 : ЧЧ5Ч053

Цель обучения: Обучающий курс даст слушателям ответ на то, как правильно заключать договоры и что делать, если он ошибся, но при этом хотел бы сохранить свои налоговые обязательства без изменений. Слушатели будут точно знать, что и как отвечать налоговой инспекции в случае проверки таких контрагентов. Поймут, как можно уйти от НДС без последствий.

В период кризисных явлений в экономике, и как следствие острой нужды государства в пополнении бюджета, ФНС ужесточила требования к проверкам - повысила границу результативности проверок до миллиона рублей (приказ ФНС №409), а также предложила идти простым путем – находить среди контрагентов налогоплательщика компании, которые подпадают под признаки недобросовестных и лишать налогоплательщика налоговых льгот полученных в результате взаимодействия с такими организациями (Приказ ФНС России №ММ-3-2/467@).

Практика свидетельствует, что практически все проверки налогоплательщиков применяющих ОСН затрагивают данный вопрос с негативными для налогоплательщика последствиями. При этом налоговый орган исключает из состава затрат НП и вычетов по НДС суммы по контрагентам, которые, например, просто не отвечают на запрос в рамках встречных проверок, либо не заплатили налоги и т.п. Подчас очень тяжело отстоять свою правоту в спорах с налоговым органом.

Курс посвящен вопросу защиты налогоплательщика, призван помочь ему как не погрязнуть в тотальных проверках своих контрагентов, так и впоследствии защитить свои права по взаимоотношениям я такими компаниями.

На Обучении не только будут показаны способы противодействия придиркам налоговой, но и будут разобраны способы заключения договоров, которые в принципе исключают возможность признания лица недобросовестным, а также законные способы снижение налоговой нагрузки по НДС в том случае, если налогоплательщик в этом заинтересован.

Программа:
1. Методические указания Минфина о назначении выездных налоговых проверок (включая Приказ ФНС от 22.09.10 N ММB-7-2/461@, Приказ УФНС по г. Москве от 1 сентября 2008 г №409 и др.)

2. Методические указания Минфина по поиску недобросовестных контрагентов. Рассмотрение мер, которые планирует принять Минфин, Минюст по борьбе с однодневками. 

3. Основания признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной (на основании судебной практики, писем Минфина, практики проверок).

4. Что необходимо сделать, чтобы проявить разумную осмотрительность. Какие документы и какую информацию о контрагенте необходимо собрать.

5. Как защититься от претензий налогового органа о том, что контрагент:
 * не платит налоги и не сдает отчетность;
 * не отвечает на встречные проверки;
 * не находиться по месту регистрации, либо зарегистрирован по адресу массовой регистрации;
 * директор БОМЖ, ничего не подписывал, его подпись подделали и т.п.
 * директор является "массовым", в отношении руководителя проводятся розыскные мероприятия;
 * проведенный осмотр показал, что компания не могла отгрузить товар с адреса, указанного в накладной, счете-фактуре;
 * коды ОКВЭД контрагента не позволяют ему произвести действия, которые он якобы произвел по отношению к налогоплательщику (не может выполнять работы, поставлять товар и т.п., так как создан для иных целей);
 * иные претензии.

6. Анализ предмета доказывания по спорам о получении необоснованной налоговой выгоды. Установление размера требований по подобным делам. Взыскание всех ранее заявленных вычетов и расходов как нарушение принципа соразмерности и справедливости. Анализ аналогичной практики Европейского Суда.

7. Разбор основных ошибок допускаемых налоговыми органами в процессе доказывания получение налоговый выгоды (встречные проверки реально не проводятся, а данные берется из компьютерной системы учета, вместо допросов проводиться опрос, вместо экспертизы получаются заключения специалиста и т.п.). Как использовать ошибки (подробно).

8. Создание преюдиции для доказывания реальности сделки.

9. Способ ухода от признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной при заключении договоров с поставщиками при помощи посредника. Как построить договор, чтобы претензии по поставщикам нельзя было предъявить.

10. Уход от признания налоговой выгоды необоснованной путем особого способа заключения договоров.

11. Уход от уплаты НДС с наценки путем:
 * заключения договора с дополнительной выгодой;
 * включение условий о неустойки;
 * использование простого товарищества.

12. Кто отвечает за работу с недобросовестными контрагентами (директор или бухгалтер) и в какой части. Рассмотрение основных законодательных инициатив и принятых в последнее время законов, направленных на борьбу с "однодневками".

13. Потеря документов по недобросовестным поставщикам. Налоговые последствия. Указания Минфина по привлечению к ответственности в таком случае. Способ защиты от налоговых претензий. Является ли потеря документов защитой от претензий правоохранительных органов.
14. Анализ возможности рассмотрения любого налогового спора в Арбитражном суде г. Москвы, как способ обойти негативную практику конкретного региона.
15. Изменение практики компенсации судебных издержек.
16. Ответы на индивидуальные вопросы.

You're right - they did not specifically mention "mesh", which probably 
means this individual is operating even one level of abstraction higher .. 
in the realm of "I know computers can do wonderful things".

ToR in this context doesn't make much sense to me - it's a network 
designed to run over the public Internet, and the whole point of his 
"dream" is to get out from under the thumb of the public internet.

Did I misread, and he thinks that a bunch of low power micro devices, as 
nodes on the plain old Internet, are going to be helpful in any way ? 
Tahoe-LAFS makes a bit more sense, as it makes content available without 
shackling any one system (operator) with liability for that content.

Well, if you're suggesting that I have little to contribute, you're right. 
My interests float into this area, and I've lurked long enough on BATMAN 
and MANET and OLSR to know when to call bullshit, but that's about it.

Make no mistake - I agree with the sentiment that this is possible, and 
that it's coming, and I will be very happy when/if it does ... I just 
think some dose of reality is needed for the boingboing set of 
"technologists".

I think the BATMAN people have some long, detailed summaries of successful 
implementations in places like .de and .it and so on.  By successful, I 
mean, they got packets to flow.  The deeper issues of establishing 
everything with no centralized authority, etc., are unsolved.

That's good news - better that someone is pushing in this direction than 
not...

National Security Archive Update, February 19, 2011

"Nobody Wins a Nuclear War" But "Success" is Possible

Mixed Message of 1950s Air Force Film on a U.S.-Soviet Conflict

For more information contact:
William Burr - 202/994-7000

http://www.nsarchive.org

Washington, DC, February 19, 2011 - "The Power of Decision" may be the first (and perhaps the only) U.S. government film depicting the Cold War nightmare of a U.S.-Soviet nuclear conflict. The U.S. Air Force produced it during 1956-1957 at the request of the Strategic Air Command. Unseen for years and made public for the first time by the National Security Archive, the film depicts the U.S. Air Force's implementation of war plan "Quick Strike" in response to a Soviet surprise attack against the United States and European and East Asian allies. By the end of the film, after the Air Force launches a massive bomber-missile "double-punch," millions of Americans, Russians, Europeans, and Japanese are dead.

Colonel Dodd, the narrator, asserts that "nobody wins a nuclear war because both sides are sure to suffer terrible damage." Despite the "catastrophic" damage described by a SAC briefer, one of the film's operating assumptions is that defeat is avoidable as long as the Soviet Union cannot impose its "will." The last few minutes of the film suggest that the United States will prevail because of its successful nuclear air offensive. One of the characters, General "Pete" Larson optimistically asserts that the Soviets "must quit; we have the air and the power and they know it." It is the Soviets, not the United States, who are sending out cease-fire pleas, picked up by the CIA.

Little is known about the production or subsequent distribution of "The Power of Decision." It was probably used for internal training purposes so that officers and airmen could prepare for the worst active-duty situation that they could encounter. Perhaps the relatively unruffled style of the film's performers was to help serve as a model for SAC officers if they ever had to follow orders that could produce a nuclear holocaust.

This film is from a DVD supplied by the U.S. National Archives' motion picture unit and is hosted by the Internet Archive's Moving Images Archive.

View the complete film at http://www.nsarchive.org or watch a four-minute clip of the film on the Archive's YouTube channel.

The FBI pushed Thursday for more built-in backdoors for online 
communication, but beat a hasty retreat from its earlier proposal to 
require providers of encrypted communications services to include a 
backdoor for law enforcement wiretaps.

FBI general counsel Valerie Caproni told Congress that new ways of 
communicating online could cause problems for law enforcement officials, 
but categorically stated that the bureau is no longer pushing to force 
companies like RIM, which offers encrypted e-mail for business and 
government customers, to engineer holes in their systems so the FBI can see 
the plaintext of a communication upon court order.

"Addressing the Going Dark problem does not require fundamental changes in 
encryption technology," Caproni said in her written testimony (PDF). "We 
understand that there are situations in which encryption will require law 
enforcement to develop individualized solutions."

("Going Dark" is the FBI's codename for its multimillion-dollar project to 
extend its ability to wiretap communications as they happen.)

That's a far cry from what Caproni told The New York Times last fall:

    "No one should be promising their customers that they will thumb their 
nose at a US court order," Ms. Caproni said. "They can promise strong 
encryption. They just need to figure out how they can provide us plain 
text."

Those remarks indicated the FBI seemed to want to revisit the encryption 
wars of the 1990s. That largely ended with the government scrapping its 
plans to mandate backdoors in encryption, after security researchers 
discovered flaws in the idea, and the National Research Council concluded 
that strong encryption made the country safer.

But that retreat didn't satisfy Susan Landau, a privacy and cryptography 
expert who testified alongside Caproni in front of a House Judiciary 
subcommittee Thursday.

That's because the FBI is still pushing for more online-communications 
companies to build real-time spying capabilities into their software, which 
Landau said will harm innovation and introduce security flaws that will be 
used against American companies, government agencies and citizens.

Innovation happens too fast on the Internet to require companies that 
provide chat and voice-calling capabilitiesbwhich these days includes 
online games, social networking sites and a myriad of online chat and 
photo-sharing servicesbto comply with detailed wiretapping specifications 
that cost hundreds of dollars just to read, according to Landau.

"Requiring that Internet applications with communications systemsb[which] 
means anything from speak-to-tweet to Second Life to software supporting 
music-jam sessionsbbe vetted first will put American innovation at a global 
disadvantage," Landau said. "For American competitiveness it is critical 
that we preserve the ease and speed with which innovative new 
communications technologies can be developed."

And she added the wiretapping holes are serious security risks.

"Building wiretapping into communications infrastructure creates serious 
risk that the communications system will be subverted either by trusted 
insiders or skilled outsiders, including foreign governments, hackers, 
identity thieves and perpetrators of economic espionage," Landau said in 
her written testimony (PDF), pointing to incidents in Greece, Italy and the 
United States where equipment built to comply with US wiretapping rules 
were subverted. Those rules, known as CALEA, were enacted in 1994 to 
require phone companies to engineer their networks to be wiretap-compliant. 
The rules were expanded by the FCC in the George W. Bush Administration to 
apply to ISPs as well.

The FBI's further push for expanded powers to wiretap online communications 
in real time comes against the backdrop of revolutions in the Middle East 
that relied heavily on social media communication tools and as Secretary of 
State Hillary Clinton called for worldwide internet freedom.

"I urge countries everywhere to join the United States in our bet that an 
open internet will lead to stronger, more prosperous countries,b Clinton 
said Tuesday, speaking at George Washington University.

But Caproni argued that law enforcement officials are occasionally running 
into cases where criminals are using online communication tools that aren't 
wiretappable in real-time, because the provider had not built-in that 
capability. Caproni did not mention that the FBI has not encountered a 
single case of encryption hampering its criminal investigations for the 
past four years, according to reports to Congress, nor that the FBI has 
never run into a single case over the last 10 years where it could not get 
the plaintext of a target's communications.

Landau told Congress the FBI was overlooking some very good news.

"While there is a genuine problem with intercepting some communications, 
the FBI now has access to more communications, and more metadata about 
communications, than ever before in history," Landau said.

But Caproni said that's not enough and the FBI needs to find new technical 
solutions b though she did add that the Obama administration has no "formal 
position at this time" about needed changes to the law.

But she warned Congress that the country was in danger from a surveillance 
gap.

"As the gap between authority and capability widens, the government is 
increasingly unable to collect valuable evidence in cases ranging from 
child exploitation and pornography to organized crime and drug trafficking 
to terrorism and espionage -evidence that a court has authorized the 
government to collect," Caproni said. "This gap poses a growing threat to 
public safety."

Also on Thursday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation released some 
government documents about the FBI's so-called Going Dark program, which it 
got under the Freedom of Information Act. Those documents show the project 
dates to 2006, and that the FBI had hired high-powered consultants from the 
Rand Corporation and Booz Allen Hamilton to help come up with solutions.

Yeah.  Al-Qaeda and their ilk were really wimpy terrorists compared to 
forty years of "we can blow up the world N times over and we've got the 
crazy generals to do it!" nuclear terrorism.  I was a kid during the Cuban 
Missile Crisis, and one of my neighbors had dug up their back yard to put 
in a bomb shelter.

It was really freaky the first time I heard the Emergency Broadcast System 
come on the radio in the ?early 90s? and say "this is not a test" - they 
were using it for flood warnings during a storm, which is a sensible thing 
to do, but before that it had always been "this is a test of the 'let you 
know that the Russians and Americans are trying to blow up the world' alarm 
system", whether it was EBS or CONELRAD or whatever, so by the time they 
got to the "flooding" part, I'd already mentally been through the "WTF? The 
politicians haven't been saber-rattling at each other, is this some 
surprise attack?  How fast can I get home to my wife?" panic 
attack.  They'd probably been using it that way for several years, just not 
at times I'd been driving with the car radio on.

A friend of mine was in a rough airplane landing many years ago,
and after the pilot had gone through the usual steps of
"seat belts on, seat backs up, lean forward and
hold on to the seat in front of you" safety instructions,
she and half her fellow passengers responded with
"and kiss your ass goodbye", which is the punch line of the
hippie version of the American nuclear war education posters.

 Are you fed up with size of your manhood? Do you feel inadequate around women and indeed other guys?
In every man's mind there is a want to enlarge his penis. Many search out ways to do this and sometimes it works and sometimes not.

Men equate a larger penis as being more attractive and impressive to the opposite sex. But they don�t always know if increasing their size will decrease or increase the pleasure they derive from sexual intercourse.

What exactly was on these posters? Self-defense information, or weapon

HOW COOL IS *THAT*!  Weapon education chamers? Shit!  I grew up in NYC, 
where there are *zero* legal guns, unless you're LEA or one of the under 
100 people who could afford the weekly $500.00 bribe!  Not that handguns 
weren't all over the schools - almost everyone in my class carried at IS44 
(IS == "Intermediate School". Kinda of like junior high school and high 
school all in one: grades 6-12), since the likelyhood of needing to defend 
yourself was very close to 100%  NYC schools in the 60's were horror 
shows, even in the better neighborhoods (which I certainly didn't live!).

Our "weapons education" was going out at night and shooting out street 
lamps (at $1.00 per shot to the betting pool - first to take the light 
gets the pool. Not so easy with a <3 inch barrel on a saturday night 
special!).  I am in envy of you and your schools :-)

Interesting: I have *never* heard the EBS et al used other than for 
testing.  Had I ever heard it, it would have scared the crap out of me - I 
don't know if I'd even hear past that point, having spent a childhood 
listening to that damned system being "tested" all the time (?I believe it 
was weekly or bi-monthly?).  Like most Americans alive through the period, 
I can still recite, word for word, the text of the EBS "test" 
announcement:

	"This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.  This is only a 
test.  The broadcasters in your area, in voluntary cooperation with the 
FCC and other authorities, have developed this system to keep you informed 
in the event of an emergency.  If this had been an actual emergency, you 
would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and other 
local information.  This concludes our test of the Emergency Broadcast 
System."

	I can't even imagine the panic of hearing "this is *not* a test"!  
Interestingly, the EBS had at least one accidental activation in the late 
60's or early 1970s, which I fortunately missed out on: good for me!

> using it for flood warnings during a storm, which is a sensible thing to do,

Very.  But then we wouldn't have paid any attention to it when the 
Russians were finally ready to end it all!

Robot hummingbird passes flight tests (w/ Video)

February 18, 2011 by Lin Edwards 

Nano Air Vehicle

(PhysOrg.com) -- A prototype robot spy "ornithopter," the Nano-Hummingbird,
has successfully completed flight trials in California. Developed by the
company AeroVironment Inc., the miniature spybot looks like a hummingbird
complete with flapping wings, and is only slightly larger and heavier than
most hummingbirds, but smaller than the largest species.

The Hummingbird's bird-shaped body is removable but it gives the bot an
uncanny resemblance to a real hummingbird. The vehicle can hover and maneuver
just like the bird.

The ornithopter can fly into buildings under the control of an operator
flying the spybot with the help of a feed from its tiny video camera. The
prototype is capable of flying at speeds of up to 18 km/h (11 mph) and weighs
19 grams, which is about the same as an AA battery.

AeroVironment video of flight tests of its Nano Hummingbird flapping-wing
nano air vehicle, developed for DARPA.  Manager of the project, Matt Keennon,
said it had been a challenge to design and build the spybot because it
bpushes the limitations of aerodynamics.b The specifications given to the
firm by the Pentagon included being able to hover in an 8 km/h wind gust and
being able to fly in and out of buildings via a normal door.  The spybot was
developed for the US military's research arm, the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). The hummingbird appearance is intended to disguise
the bot, although it would look decidedly out of place and would attract
attention in most places in the world since hummingbirds are not found
outside of the Americas.  DARPA's head of the Nano Air Vehicles (NAV)
program. Dr Todd Hylton, said the successful flight tests pave the way for
new vehicles that resemble small birds and match their agility. The new drone
is a departure from existing NAVs, which in the past have always resembled
helicopters or planes.

Nano Air Vehicle 360 Degree Flip

The current model is a prototype and more development is required before any
decisions are made on its deployment. Keennon said he expected the flight
time to improve as the spybot develops, and said he envisaged it could be
used for reconnaissance purposes in around a decade. He also said the final
version is unlikely to look like a hummingbird, which is rare even in parts
of the US, and he thinks a sparrow would be a better choice.  The US military
has funded the project, giving AeroVironment around $4 million since 2006.

Black ops: how HBGary wrote backdoors for the government

By Nate Anderson | Last updated about 19 hours ago

On November 16, 2009, Greg Hoglund, a cofounder of computer security firm
HBGary, sent an e-mail to two colleagues. The message came with an
attachment, a Microsoft Word file called AL_QAEDA.doc, which had been further
compressed and password protected for safety. Its contents were dangerous.

The attached document, which is in English, begins: "LESSON SIXTEEN:
ASSASSINATIONS USING POISONS AND COLD STEEL (UK/BM-154 TRANSLATION)."

It purports to be an Al-Qaeda document on dispatching one's enemies with
knives (try "the area directly above the genitals"), with ropes ("Chokingb&
there is no other area besides the neck"), with blunt objects ("Top of the
stomach, with the end of the stick."), and with hands ("Poking the fingers
into one or both eyes and gouging them.").

But the poison recipes, for ricin and other assorted horrific bioweapons, are
the main draw. One, purposefully made from a specific combination of spoiled
food, requires "about two spoonfuls of fresh excrement." The document praises
the effectiveness of the resulting poison: "During the time of the destroyer,
Jamal Abdul Nasser, someone who was being severely tortured in prison (he had
no connection with Islam), ate some feces after losing sanity from the
severity of the torture. A few hours after he ate the feces, he was found
dead."

The purported Al-Qaeda document

According to Hoglund, the recipes came with a side dish, a specially crafted
piece of malware meant to infect Al-Qaeda computers. Is the US government in
the position of deploying the hacker's darkest toolsbrootkits, computer
viruses, trojan horses, and the like? Of course it is, and Hoglund was
well-positioned to know just how common the practice had become. Indeed, he
and his company helped to develop these electronic weapons.

Thanks to a cache of HBGary e-mails leaked by the hacker collective
Anonymous, we have at least a small glimpse through a dirty window into the
process by which tax dollars enter the military-industrial complex and emerge
as malware.

Task B

In 2009, HBGary had partnered with the Advanced Information Systems group of
defense contractor General Dynamics to work on a project euphemistically
known as "Task B." The team had a simple mission: slip a piece of stealth
software onto a target laptop without the owner's knowledge.

HBGary white paper on exploiting software

They focused on portsba laptop's interfaces to the world around itbincluding
the familiar USB port, the less-common PCMCIA Type II card slot, the smaller
ExpressCard slot, WiFi, and Firewire. No laptop would have all of these, but
most recent machines would have at least two.

The HBGary engineering team broke this list down into three categories. First
came the "direct access" ports that provided "uninhibited electronic direct
memory access." PCMCIA, ExpressCard, and Firewire all allowed external
devicesbsay a custom piece of hardware delivered by a field operativebto
interact directly with the laptop with a minimum amount of fuss. The direct
memory access provided by the controllers for these ports mean that devices
in them can write directly to the computer's memory without intervention from
the main CPU and with little restriction from the operating system. If you
want to overwrite key parts of the operating system to sneak in a bit of your
own code, this is the easiest way to go.

The second and third categories, ports that needed "trust relationships" or
relied on "buffer overflows," included USB and wireless networking. These
required more work to access, especially if one wanted to do so without
alerting a user; Windows in particular is notorious for the number of prompts
it throws when USB devices are inserted or removed. A cheerful note about
"Searching for device driver for NSA_keylogger_rootkit_tango" had to be
avoided.

So HBGary wanted to go the direct access route, characterizing it as the "low
hanging fruit" with the lowest risk. General Dynamics wanted HBGary to
investigate the USB route as well (the ports are more common, but an attack
has to trick the operating system into doing its bidding somehow, commonly
through a buffer overflow).

The team had two spy movie scenarios in which its work might be used,
scenarios drafted to help the team think through its approach:

1) Man leaves laptop locked while quickly going to the bathroom. A device can
then be inserted and then removed without touching the laptop itself except
at the target port. (i.e. one can't touch the mouse, keyboard, insert a CD,
etc.)

2) Woman shuts down her laptop and goes home. One then can insert a device
into the target port and assume she will not see it when she returns the next
day. One can then remove the device at a later time after she boots up the
machine. 

Why would the unnamed client for Task Bbwhich a later e-mail makes clear was
for a government agencybwant such a tool? Imagine you want access to the
computer network used in a foreign government ministry, or in a nuclear lab.
Such a facility can be tough to crack over the Internet; indeed, the most
secure facilities would have no such external access. And getting an agent
inside the facility to work mischief is very riskybif it's even possible at
all.

But say a scientist from the facility uses a memory stick to carry data home
at night, and that he plugs the memory stick into his laptop on occasion. You
can now get a piece of custom spyware into the facility by putting a copy on
the memory stickbif you can first get access to the laptop. So you tail the
scientist and follow him from his home one day to a local coffee shop. He
steps away to order another drink, to go to the bathroom, or to talk on his
cell phone, and the tail walks past his table and sticks an
all-but-undetectable bit of hardware in his laptop's ExpressCard slot.
Suddenly, you have a vector that points all the way from a local coffee shop
to the interior of a secure government facility.

The software exploit code actually delivered onto the laptop was not HBGary's
concern; it needed only to provide a route through the computer's front door.
But it had some constraints. First, the laptop owner should still be able to
use the port so as not to draw attention to the inserted hardware. This is
quite obviously tricky, but one could imagine a tiny ExpressCard device that
slid down into the slot but could in turn accept another ExpressCard device
on its exterior-facing side. This sort of parallel plugging might well go
unnoticed by a user with no reason to suspect it.

HBGary's computer infiltration code then had to avoid the computer's own
electronic defenses. The code should "not be detectable" by virus scanners or
operating system port scans, and it should clean up after itself to eliminate
all traces of entry.

Greg Hoglund was confident that he could deliver at least two laptop-access
techniques in less than a kilobyte of memory each. As the author of books
like Exploiting Software: How to Break Code, Rootkits: Subverting the Windows
Kernel, and Exploiting Online Games: Cheating Massively Distributed Systems,
he knew his way around the deepest recesses of Windows in particular.

Hoglund's special interest was in all-but-undetectable computer "rootkits,"
programs that provide privileged access to a computer's innermost workings
while cloaking themselves even from standard operating system functions. A
good rootkit can be almost impossible to remove from a running machinebif you
could even find it in the first place.

Just a demo

Some of this work was clearly for demonstration purposes, and much of it was
probably never deployed in the field. For instance, HBGary began $50,000 of
work for General Dynamics on "Task C" in June 2009, creating a piece of
malware that infiltrated Windows machines running Microsoft Outlook.

The target user would preview a specially crafted e-mail message in Outlook
that took advantage of an Outlook preview pane vulnerability to execute a bit
of code in the background. This code would install a kernel driver, one
operating at the lowest and most trusted level of the operating system, that
could send traffic over the computer's serial port. (The point of this
exercise was never spelled out, though the use of serial ports rather than
network ports suggest that cutting-edge desktop PCs were not the target.)


HBGary's expertise

Once installed, the malware could execute external commands, such as sending
specific files over the serial port, deleting files on the machine, or
causing the infamous Windows "blue screen of death." In addition, the code
should be able to pop open the computer's CD tray and blink the lights on its
attached keyboardsbanother reminder that Task C was, at this stage, merely
for a demo.

General Dynamics would presumably try to interest customers in the product,
but it's not clear from the e-mails at HBGary whether this was ever
successful. Even with unique access to the innermost workings of a security
firm, much remains opaque; the real conversations took place face-to-face or
on secure phone lines, not through e-mail, so the glimpses we have here are
fragmentary at best. This care taken to avoid sending sensitive information
via unencrypted e-mail stands in stark contrast with the careless approach to
security that enabled the hacks in the first place.

But that doesn't mean specific information is hard to come bybsuch as the
fact that rootkits can be purchased for $60,000.

Step right up!

Other tools were in use and were sought out by government agencies. An
internal HBGary e-mail from early 2010 asks, "What are the license costs for
HBGary rk [rootkit] platform if they want to use it on guardian for afisr
[Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance]?"

The reply indicates that HBGary has several tools on offer. "Are you asking
about the rootkit for XP (kernel driver that hides in plain sight and is a
keylogger that exfiltrates data) or are you asking about 12 Monkeys? We've
sold licenses of the 1st one for $60k. We haven't set a price on 12 Monkeys,
but can."

The company had been developing rootkits for years. Indeed, it had even
developed a private Microsoft Word document outlining its basic rootkit
features, features which customers could have (confirming the e-mail listed
above) for $60,000.


Description of the basic rootkit platform

That money bought you the rootkit source code, which was undetectable by most
rootkit scanners or firewall products when it was tested against them in
2008. Only one product from Trend Micro noticed the rootkit installation, and
even that alert was probably not enough to warn a user. As the HBGary rootkit
document notes, "This was a low level alert. TrendMicro assaults the user
with so many of these alerts in every day use, therefore most users will
quickly learn to ignore or even turn off such alerts."

When installed in a target machine, the rootkit could record every keystroke
that a user typed, linking it up to a Web browser history. This made it easy
to see usernames, passwords, and other data being entered into websites; all
of this information could be silently "exfiltrated" right through even the
pickiest personal firewall.

But if a target watched its outgoing traffic and noted repeated contacts
with, say, a US Air Force server, suspicions might be aroused. The rootkit
could therefore connect instead to a "dead drop"ba totally anonymous server
with no apparent connection to the agency using the rootkitbwhere the
target's keyboard activity could be retrieved at a later time.

But by 2009, the existing generic HBGary rootkit package was a bit long in
the tooth. Hoglund, the rootkit expert, apparently had much bigger plans for
a next-gen product called "12 monkeys."

12 Monkeys

The 12 Monkeys rootkit was also a contract paid out by General Dynamics; as
one HBGary e-mail noted, the development work could interfere with Task B,
but "if we succeed, we stand to make a great deal of profit on this."

On April 14, 2009, Hoglund outlined his plans for the new super-rootkit for
Windows XP, which was "unique in that the rootkit is not associated with any
identifiable or enumerable object. This rootkit has no file, named data
structure, device driver, process, thread, or module associated with it."

How could Hoglund make such a claim? Security tools generally work by
scanning a computer for particular objectsbpieces of data that the operating
system uses to keep track of processes, threads, network connections, and so
on. 12 Monkeys simply had nothing to find. "Since no object is associated
with the objectless rootkit, detection will be very difficult for a security
scanner," he wrote. In addition, the rootkit would encrypt itself to cloak
itself further, and hop around in the computer's memory to make it even
harder to find.

As for getting the data off a target machine and back to the rootkit's buyer,
Hoglund had a clever idea: he disguised the outgoing traffic by sending it
only when other outbound Web traffic was being sent. Whenever a user sat down
at a compromised machine and started surfing the Web, their machine would
slip in some extra outgoing data "disguised as ad-clicks" that would contain
a log of all their keystrokes.

While the basic rootkit went for $60,000, HBGary hoped to sell 12 Monkeys for
much more: "around $240k."

0-day

The goal of this sort of work is always to create something undetectable, and
there's no better way to be undetectable than by taking advantage of a
security hole that no one else has ever found. Once vulnerabilities are
disclosed, vendors like Microsoft race to patch them, and they increasingly
push those patches to customers via the Internet. Among hackers, then, the
most prized exploits are "0-day" exploitsbexploits for holes for which no
patch yet exists.

HBGary kept a stockpile of 0-day exploits. A slide from one of the company's
internal presentations showed that the company had 0-day exploits for which
no patch yet existedbbut these 0-day exploits had not yet even been
published. No one knew about them.

The company had exploits "on the shelf" for Windows 2000, Flash, Java, and
more; because they were 0-day attacks, any computer around the world running
these pieces of software could be infiltrated.

One of the unpublished Windows 2000 exploits, for instance, can deliver a
"payload" of any size onto the target machine using a heap exploit. "The
payload has virtually no restrictions" on what it can do, a document notes,
because the exploit secures SYSTEM level access to the operating system, "the
highest user-mode operating system defined level" available.

These exploits were sold to customers. One email, with the subject "Juicy
Fruit," contains the following list of software:

VMware ESX and ESXi *

Win2K3 Terminal Services

Win2K3 MSRPC

Solaris 10 RPC

Adobe Flash *

Sun Java *

Win2k Professional & Server

XRK Rootkit and Keylogger *

Rootkit 2009 *

The e-mail talks only about "tools," not about 0-day exploits, though that
appears to be what was at issue; the list of software here matches HBGary's
own list of its 0-day exploits. And the asterisk beside some of the names
"means the tool has been sold to another customer on a non-exclusive basis
and can be sold again."


HBGary's 0-day exploits

References to Juicy Fruit abound in the leaked e-mails. My colleague Peter
Bright and I have spent days poring through the tens of thousands of
messages; we believe that "Juicy Fruit" is a generic name for a usable 0-day
exploit, and that interest in this Juicy Fruit was high.

"[Name] is interested in the Juicy Fruit you told him about yesterday," one
e-mail reads. "Next step is I need to give [name] a write up describing it."
That writeup includes the target software, the level of access gained, the
max payload size, and "what does the victim see or experience."

Aaron Barr, who in late 2009 was brought on board to launch the separate
company HBGary Federal (and who provoked this entire incident by trying to
unmask Anonymous), wrote in one e-mail, "We need to provide info on 12
monkeys and related JF [Juicy Fruit] asap," apparently in reference to
exploits that could be used to infect a system with 12 Monkeys.

HBGary also provided some Juicy Fruit to Xetron, a unit of the massive
defense contractor Northrop Grumman that specialized in, among other things,
"computer assault." Barr wanted to "provide Xetron with some JF code to be
used for demonstrations to their end customers," one e-mail noted. "Those
demonstrations could lead to JF sales or ongoing services work. There is
significant revenue potential doing testing of JF code acquired elsewhere or
adding features for mission specific uses."

As the deal was being worked out, HBGary worked up an agreement to "provide
object code and source code for this specific Juicy Fruit" to Xetron, though
they could not sell the code without paying HBGary. The code included with
this agreement was a "Adobe Macromedia Flash Player Remote Access Tool," the
"HBGary Rootkit Keylogger Platform," and a "Software Integration Toolkit
Module."

The question of who might be interested in these tools largely remains an
unknownbthough Barr did request information on HBGary's Juicy Fruit just
after asking for contacts at SOCOM, the US Special Operations Command.

But HBGary Federal had ideas that went far beyond government rootkits and
encompassed all facets of information warfare. Including, naturally,
cartoons. And Second Life.

Psyops

In mid-2010, HBGary Federal put together a PSYOP (psychological operations)
proposal for SOCOM, which had issued a general call for new tools and
techniques. In the document, the new HBGary Federal team talked up their past
experience as creators of "multiple products briefed to POTUS [President of
the United States], the NSC [National Security Council], and Congressional
Intelligence committees, as well as senior intelligence and military
leaders."

The document focused on cartoons and the Second Life virtual world. "HBGary
personnel have experience creating political cartoons that leverage current
events to seize the target audience's attention and propagate the desired
messages and themes," said the document, noting that security-cleared
cartoonists and 3D modelers had already been lined up to do the work if the
government wanted some help.


Cartoon example of Ahmadinejad with a puppet ayatollah 

The cartooning process "starts with gathering customer requirements such as
the target audience, high level messages and themes, intended publication
mediumsb& Through brainstorming sessions, we develop concept ideas. Approved
concepts are rough sketched in pencil. Approved sketches are developed into a
detailed, color end product that is suitable for publishing in a variety of
mediums."

A sample cartoon, of Iranian President Ahmadinejad manipulating a puppet
Ayatollah, was helpfully included.

The document then went on to explain how the US government could use a
virtual world such as Second Life to propagate specific messages. HBGary
could localize the Second Life client, translating its menu options and
keyboard shortcuts into local dialects, and this localized client could
report "valuable usage metrics, enabling detailed measures of effects." If
you want to know whether your message is getting out, just look at the
statistics of how many people play the game and for how long.

As for the messages themselves, those would appear within the Second Life
world. "HBGary can develop an in-world advertising company, securing small
plots of virtual land in attractive locations, which can be used to promote
themes using billboards, autonomous virtual robots, audio, video, and 3D
presentations," said the document.

They could even make a little money while they're at it, by creating
"original marketable products to generate self-sustaining revenue within the
virtual space as well as promote targeted messaging."

We found no evidence that SOCOM adopted the proposal.

But HBGary Federal's real interest had become social media like Facebook and
Twitterband how they could be used to explore and then penetrate secretive
networks. And that was exactly what the Air Force wanted to do.

Fake Facebook friends


In June 2010, the government was expressing real interest in social networks.
The Air Force issued a public request for "persona management software,"
which might sound boring until you realize that the government essentially
wanted the ability to have one agent run multiple social media accounts at
once.  It wanted 50 software licenses, each of which could support 10
personas, "replete with background, history, supporting details, and cyber
presences that are technically, culturally and geographically consistent."

The software would allow these 50 cyberwarriors to peer at their monitors all
day and manipulate these 10 accounts easily, all "without fear of being
discovered by sophisticated adversaries." The personas would appear to come
from all over the world, the better to infiltrate jihadist websites and
social networks, or perhaps to show up on Facebook groups and influence
public opinion in pro-US directions.

As the cyberwarriors worked away controlling their 10 personas, their
computers would helpfully provide "real-time local information" so that they
could play their roles convincingly.

In addition the Air Force wanted a secure virtual private network that could
mask the IP addresses behind all of this persona traffic. Every day, each
user would get a random IP address to help hide "the existence of the
operation." The network would further mask this persona work by "traffic
mixing, blending the user's traffic with traffic from multitudes of users
from outside the organization. This traffic blending provides excellent cover
and powerful deniability."

This sort of work most interested HBGary Federal's Aaron Barr, who was
carving out a niche for himself as a social media expert. Throughout late
2010 and early 2011, he spent large chunks of his time attempting to use
Facebook, Twitter, and Internet chat to map the network of Exelon nuclear
plant workers in the US and to research the members of Anonymous. As money
for his company dried up and government contracts proved hard to come by,
Barr turned his social media ideas on pro-union forces, getting involved in a
now-controversial project with two other security firms.

But e-mails make clear that he mostly wanted to sell this sort of capability
to the government. "We have other customers, mostly on offense, that are
interested in Social Media for other things," he wrote in August 2010. "The
social media stuff seems like low hanging fruit."

How does one use social media and fake "personas" to do anything of value? An
e-mail from Barr on August 22 makes his thinking clear. Barr ponders "the
best way to go about establishing a persona to reach an objective (in this
case ft. belvoir/INSCOM/1st IO)."

The Army's Fort Belvoir, like any secretive institution, might be more easily
penetrated by pretending to be an old friend of a current employee. "Make
your profile swim in a large sea," Barr wrote. "Pick a big city, big high
school, big company. Work your way up and in. Recreate your history. Start by
friending high school people. In my case I am in the army so after you have
amassed enough friends from high school, then start friending military folks
outside of your location, something that matches the area your in, bootcamp,
etc. Lastly start to friend people from the base, but start low and work your
way up. So far so good."

Once the persona had this network of friends, "I will start doing things
tricky. Try to manipulate conversations, insert communication streams, etc,"
said Barr. This sort of social media targeting could also be used to send
your new "friend" documents or files (such as the Al-Qaeda poison document
discussed above) [that] come complete with malware, or by directing them to
specially-crafted websites designed to elicit some specific piece of
information: directed attacks known as "spear phishing."

But concerns arose about obtaining and using social media data, in part
because sites like Facebook restricted the "scraping" of its user data. An
employee from the link analysis firm Palantir wrote Barr at the end of
August, asking, "Is the idea that we'd want to ingest all of Facebook's data,
or just a targeted subset for a few users of interest?"

The more data that was grabbed from Facebook, the more chance a problem could
arise. The Palantir employee noted that a researcher had used similar tools
to violate Facebook's acceptable use policy on data scraping, "resulting in a
lawsuit when he crawled most of Facebook's social graph to build some
statistics. I'd be worried about doing the same. (I'd ask him for his
Facebook databhe's a fan of Palantirbbut he's already deleted it.)"

Still, the potential usefulness of sites like Facebook was just too powerful
to ignore, acceptable use policy or not.

Feeling twitchy

While Barr fell increasingly in love with his social media sleuthing, Hoglund
still liked researching his rootkits. In September, the two teamed up for a
proposal to DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that had
been instrumental in creating the Internet back in the 1960s.

DARPA didn't want incrementalism. It wanted breakthroughs (one of its most
recent projects is the "100-Year Starship Study"), and Barr and Hoglund
teamed up for a proposal to help the agency on its Cyber Insider Threat
(CINDER) program. CINDER was an expensive effort to find new ways to watch
employees with access to sensitive information and root out double agents or
disgruntled workers who might leak classified information.

So Barr and Hoglund drafted a plan to create something like a lie detector,
except that it would look for signs of "paranoia" instead.

"Like a lie detector detects physical changes in the body based on
sensitivities to specific questions, we believe there are physical changes in
the body that are represented in observable behavioral changes when
committing actions someone knows is wrong," said the proposal. "Our solution
is to develop a paranoia-meter to measure these observables."

The idea was to take an HBGary rootkit like 12 Monkeys and install it on user
machines in such a way that users could not remove it and might not even be
aware of its presence. The rootkit would log user keystrokes, of course, but
it would also take "as many behavioral measurements as possible" in order to
look for suspicious activity that might indicate wrongdoing.

What sort of measurements? The rootkit would monitor "keystrokes, mouse
movements, and visual cues through the system camera. We believe that during
particularly risky activities we will see more erratic mouse movements and
keystrokes as well as physical observations such as surveying surroundings,
shifting more frequently, etc."

The rootkit would also keep an eye on what files were being accessed, what
e-mails were being written, and what instant messages were being sent. If
necessary, the software could record a video of the user's computer screen
activity and send all this information to a central monitoring office. There,
software would try to pick out employees exhibiting signs of paranoia, who
could then be scrutinized more closely.

Huge and obvious challenges presented themselves. As the proposal noted:

Detecting insider threat actions is highly challenging and will require a
sophisticated monitoring, baselining, analysis, and alerting capability.
Human actions and organizational operations are complex. You might think you
can just look for people that are trying to gain access to information
outside of their program area of expertise. Yet there are legitimate reasons
for accessing this information. In many cases the activity you might call
suspicious can also be legitimate. Some people are more or less inquisitive
and will have different levels of activity in accessing information outside
their specific organization. Some of the behaviors on systems vary widely
depending on function. Software developer behavior will be very different
than an HR person or senior manager. All of these factors need to be taken
into account when developing detection capabilities for suspicious activity.
We cannot focus on just [whether] a particular action is potentially
suspicious. Instead we must quantify the legitimate reasons for the activity
and whether this person has a baseline, position, attributes, and history to
support the activity.

DARPA did not apparently choose to fund the plan.

Grey areas

The ideas got ever more grandiose. Analyzing malware, HBGary's main focus,
wasn't enough to keep up with the hackers; Hoglund had a plan to get a leg up
on the competition by getting even closer to malware authors. He floated an
idea to sniff Russian GSM cell phone signals in order to eavesdrop on
hackers' voice calls and text messages.

"GSM is easily sniffed," he wrote to Barr. "There is a SHIELD system for this
that not only intercepts GSM 5.1 but can also track the exact physical
location of a phone. Just to see what's on the market, check [redacted]b&
these have to be purchased overseas obviously."

The note concluded: "Home alone on Sunday, so I just sit here and sharpen the
knife."

Barr, always enthusiastic for these kinds of ideas, loved this one. He wanted
to map out everything that would be required for such an operation, including
"personas, sink holes, honey nets, soft and hard assetsb& We would want at
least one burn persona. We would want to sketch out a script to meet specific
objectives.

And, he noted, "We will likely ride in some grey areas."

Back to basics

In January 2011, Barr had moved on to his research into Anonymousbresearch
that would eventually do his company in. Over at HBGary, Hoglund continued
his pursuit of next-gen rootkits. He had hit on a new approach that he called
"Magenta."

This would be a "new breed of Windows-based rootkit," said a Magenta planning
document, one that HBGary called a "multi-context rootkit."


Slava Markeyev

The Magenta software would be written in low-level assembly language, one
step up from the ones and zeroes of the binary code with which computers do
their calculating. It would inject itself into the Windows kernel, and then
inject itself further into an active process; only from there would the main
body of the rootkit execute.

Magenta would also inject itself routinely into different processes, jumping
around inside the computer's memory to avoid detection. Its
command-and-control instructions, telling the rootkit exactly what to do and
where to send the information, wouldn't come from some remote Internet server
but from the host computer's own memorybwhere the control instructions had
been separately injected.

"This is ideal because itbs trivial to remotely seed C&C messages into any
networked Windows host," noted Hoglund, "even if the host in question has
full Windows firewalling enabled."

Nothing like Magenta existed (not publicly, at least), and Hoglund was sure
that he could squeeze the rootkit code into less than 4KB of memory and make
it "almost impossible to remove from a live running system." Once running,
all of the Magenta files on disk could be deleted. Even the best anti-rootkit
tools, those that monitored physical memory for signs of such activity,
"would only be of limited use since by the time the responder tried to verify
his results Magenta will have already moved to a new location & context."

Hoglund wanted to build Magenta in two parts: first, a prototype for Windows
XP with Service Pack 3ban old operating system but still widely installed.
Second, if the prototype generated interest, HBGary could port the rootkit
"to all current flavors of Microsoft Windows."

Shortly thereafter, Anonymous broke into HBGary Federal's website, cracked
Barr's hashed password using rainbow tables, and found themselves in a
curious position; Barr was also the administrator for the entire e-mail
system, so they were able to grab e-mail from multiple accounts, including
Hoglund's.

A world awash in rootkits

The leaked e-mails provide a tantalizing glimpse of life behind the security
curtain. HBGary and HBGary Federal were small players in this space; indeed,
HBGary appears to have made much of its cash with more traditional projects,
like selling anti-malware defense tools to corporations and scanning their
networks for signs of infection.

If rootkits, paranoia monitors, cartoons, and fake Facebook personas were
being proposed and developed here, one can only imagine the sorts of
classified projects underway throughout the entire defense and security
industry.

Whether these programs are good or bad depends upon how they are used. Just
as Hoglund's rootkit expertise meant that he could both detect them and
author them, 0-day exploits and rootkits in government hands can be turned to
many uses. The FBI has had malware like CIPAV (the Computer and Internet
Protocol Address Verifier) for several years, and it's clear from the HBGary
e-mail leak that the military is in wide possession of rootkits and other
malware of its own. The Stuxnet virus widely believed to have at least
damaged Iranian nuclear centrifuge operations is thought to have originated
in the US or Israeli governments, for instance.

But the e-mails also remind us how much of this work is carried out privately
and beyond the control of government agencies. We found no evidence that
HBGary sold malware to nongovernment entities intent on hacking, though the
company did have plans to repurpose its DARPA rootkit idea for corporate
surveillance work. ("HBGary plans to transition technology into commercial
products," it told DARPA.)

And another document, listing HBGary's work over the last few years, included
this entry: "HBGary had multiple contracts with a consumer software company
to add stealth capability to their host agent."

The actions of HBGary Federal's Aaron Barr also serve as a good reminder
that, when they're searching for work, private security companies are more
than happy to switch from military to corporate clientsband they bring some
of the same tools to bear.

When asked to investigate pro-union websites and WikiLeaks, Barr turned
immediately to his social media toolkit and was ready to deploy personas,
Facebook scraping, link analysis, and fake websites; he also suggested
computer attacks on WikiLeaks infrastructure and pressure be brought upon
journalists like Glenn Greenwald.

His compatriots at Palantir and Berico showed, in their many e-mails, few if
any qualms about turning their national security techniques upon private
dissenting voices. Barr's ideas showed up in Palantir-branded PowerPoints and
Berico-branded "scope of work" documents. "Reconnaissance cells" were
proposed, network attacks were acceptable, "target dossiers" on "adversaries"
would be compiled, and "complex information campaigns" involving fake
personas were on the table.

Critics like Glenn Greenwald contend that this nexus of private and public
security power is a dangerous mix. "The real issue highlighted by this
episode is just how lawless and unrestrained is the unified axis of
government and corporate power," he wrote last week.

Especially (though by no means only) in the worlds of the Surveillance and
National Security State, the powers of the state have become largely
privatized. There is very little separation between government power and
corporate power. Those who wield the latter intrinsically wield the former.

The revolving door between the highest levels of government and corporate
offices rotates so fast and continuously that it has basically flown off its
track and no longer provides even the minimal barrier it once did. It's not
merely that corporate power is unrestrained; it's worse than that:
corporations actively exploit the power of the state to further entrench and
enhance their power.

Even if you don't share this view, the e-mails provide a fascinating glimpse
into the origins of government-controlled malware. Given the number of
rootkits apparently being developed for government use, one wonders just how
many machines around the globe could respond to orders from the US military.
Or the Chinese military. Or the Russian military.

While hackers get most of the attention for their rootkits and botnets and
malware, state actors use the same tools to play a different gamebthe Great
Gameband it could be coming soon to a computer near you.

On the other side of the Iron Curtain, it wasn't the duck and cover
exercises (that never happened, or was before my time), but the
nuclear weapon education posters on the walls. Yeah, these did really
cheer you up.

I also found the AK-47s in the weapon education chamber in
our school slightly unnerving. No idea where the older kids
got trained on weapon handling if at all, that must have been
at higher grades than 7th.

I somehow missed all the discussion of Egypt here, so I apologize for
coming late to the game. There's *a lot* of work on the mesh and
mobile side that's been happening largely separately but in parallel
to p2p development over the last 10 years or so. The best I know of is
from Sascha Meinrath and the people over at OTI. Have a look here, for
example:

http://www.saschameinrath.com/2011/feb/18/gigaom_covers_otis_mesh_work_building_technology_stack_internet_freedom

There's also a great deal of activity in the censorship circumvention
world surrounding all these issues, with most of the funding coming
directly from State.

As an aside, there are rumors that the Egyptian communications
minister pulled the plug at the IXP in Egypt as the lessor of two
evils with the other option being monitoring, geolocating, and
arresting all dissidents at the behest of Egyptian intelligence.

Forensics Under the Microscope
More courts are starting to question the .facts. proved by scientific 
evidence.

Warren Horinek did not murder his wife. That.s what he said, that.s what 
the medical examiner said, that.s what the homicide sergeant said. Even 
the district attorney.s office in the Horineks. hometown of Ft. Worth, 
Texas, agreed that he was innocent.not something a Texas prosecutor 
typically says. But when Bonnie Horinek died in 1995, her parents refused 
to believe what the evidence strongly suggested.that Bonnie shot 
herself.and instead they enlisted the services of a blood-spatter analyst 
to prove that it was their son-in-law who had killed their daughter.

The spatter analyst zeroed in on the blood-soaked T shirt Horinek was 
wearing when the paramedics arrived. To him, the fine spray of blood on 
Horinek.s left shoulder was not from administering CPR, as Warren said it 
was, and as the 911 recording seemed to indicate, but from shooting Bonnie 
at close range. On the basis of that testimony, Horinek was convicted of 
murder and sentenced to 30 years. But did they really get their man? 
Horinek.s lawyers have filed a writ of habeas corpus to try to have him 
released, based in part on the National Academy.s report; much of the 
spatter analyst.s testimony, the lawyers argue, .was contrary to known and 
accepted science..

In the age of CSI and Dexter, we.re led to believe that forensic science 
is a high-tech discipline, powerful and sophisticated enough to catch any 
criminal.

As it turns out, whether blood-spatter analysis and disciplines like it 
qualify as .science. at all is a matter of increasing debate. In a sharply 
critical report issued in 2009, the National Academy of Sciences said, 
.The simple reality is that the interpretation of forensic evidence is not 
always based on scientific studies.. Taking aim at disciplines as varied 
as ballistics, hair and fiber analysis, bite-mark comparison.even 
fingerprints.the report declared, .This is a serious problem..

The last few years have seemed to bear out the report. Dozens of elite 
crime labs all over the country, from Nassau County, N.Y., to San 
Francisco, to Virginia, Cleveland, Oklahoma, and Baltimore, have been 
involved in scandals involving mishandled evidence and false or misleading 
forensic testimony. This past summer, a North Carolina attorney general.s 
audit discovered that the state.s Bureau of Investigation had withheld or 
distorted evidence in more than 200 cases.

Even some of the best funded and most sophisticated crime-fighting 
organizations are being taken to task for their use of forensic evidence. 
This week, the New York Times reported that the Federal Buerau of 
Investigation had .overstated the strenght of genetic analysis. during the 
investigation of Bruce E. Ivins, who allegedly mailed anthrax to newsrooms 
and Senate offices in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

A year-long investigation by the independent journalism nonprofit 
ProPublica revealed major problems in the nation.s coroner system: 
pathologists not certified in pathology, physicians who flunk their board 
exams, even coroners who are not physicians at all. .In nearly 1,600 
counties across the country,. the investigation found, .elected or 
appointed coroners who may have no qualifications beyond a high-school 
degree have the final say on whether fatalities are homicides, suicides, 
accidents or the result of natural or undetermined causes..

For his forthcoming book, Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal 
Prosecutions Go Wrong (Harvard University Press, April 2011), University 
of Virginia law professor Brandon Garrett examined the trial transcripts 
and other legal documents of the first 250 people to be exonerated by DNA 
in this country. He discovered that in more than half these cases, trials 
were tainted by .invalid, unreliable, concealed, or erroneous forensic 
evidence.. The errors ranged from analysts making up statistics on the 
fly, implying that their methods were more scientific than they actually 
were, and exaggerating or distorting their findings to support the 
prosecution.

Peter Neufeld, a lawyer in New York and cofounder of the Innocence 
Project, which has helped to facilitate many of these exonerations, calls 
it the .elastic expert: no matter what you see, I can distort it so that 
it would be a match..

This .elasticity. is possible because the tests are largely subjective. 
Just how much human judgment is required depends on the discipline: DNA 
testing is mostly.though not entirely.done by machine, for instance, 
whereas microscopic hair comparison is based solely on the analyst.s 
opinion. Even fingerprints, which many of us regard as foolproof tools for 
identifying culprits.think Dexter feeding a print into his computer and a 
bad guy.s photo and driver.s license appearing on the screen.in fact rely 
largely on human interpretation, and therefore are subject to human error.

One of the most famous examples of the danger of fingerprints was the case 
of Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield, arrested in 2004 in the wake of the 
Madrid train bombings. Working from a partial print that Spanish 
authorities had found on a plastic bag of detonators, several top FBI 
analysts declared Mayfield.s print a match. That is, until Spanish 
authorities identified Ouhnane Daoud, now wanted for terrorism in 
connection to the crime. When it became clear that Daoud.s prints were a 
much better match, the FBI was forced to admit that its own bias and 
.circular reasoning. had led them to Mayfield, who had no involvement in 
the bombings.

Part of the problem is what social scientists call .context bias.. Most 
forensics labs are located within police departments, so analysts may see 
themselves as working .for. the prosecution. They also usually have 
information about the evidence they.re testing.for example, that the 
suspect has a prior record. .There.s a lot of research to suggest that 
knowledge could have biasing effect,. says Jennifer Mnookin, a professor 
at the UCLA School of Law.

In a recent Supreme Court case, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the 
majority, said that whether consciously or not, an analyst .responding to 
a request from a law enforcement official may feel pressure.or have an 
incentive.to alter the evidence in a manner favorable to the prosecution.. 
The judges. ruling means that forensic test results may be subject to the 
same kind of scrutiny as any other evidence, and an analyst from the lab 
that ran the test must be present in court to be cross-examined, just like 
any other witness.

.Obviously, most people in this community are trying to do their jobs well 
and are not trying to frame innocent people,. says the University of 
Virginia.s Garrett. .But what we.ve seen come out of these exoneration 
cases and in additional scandals at the laboratories is that this is not a 
problem of a few bad apples. Who is the competent analyst that can testify 
about a technique that.s fundamentally unreliable? That.s not a bad-apple 
problem. That.s a serious problem with our entire system..

At the heart of these criticisms is the issue of what scientists call 
validity and reliability. A test is valid if its results are factually 
accurate. A test is reliable if multiple tests will lead to the same 
conclusion. Some forensics tests, like blood typing, are very reliable: no 
matter how many times your doctor draws your blood, you will always have 
the same blood type. Occasionally there are mistakes, of course, but they 
are predictable: blood-typing tests have well-documented and 
well-understood error rates. Others, like hair comparison, are unreliable: 
studies have shown that multiple technicians examining the same two 
hairs.even the same technician examining the same two hairs at different 
times.come to multiple conclusions. Critics say that many of forensic 
science.s most basic tools are neither reliable nor valid.

For example, at the trial of Jimmy Ray Bromgard, who served more than 14 
years of a 40-year sentence for sexual intercourse without consent until 
he was exonerated in 2002, the director of the Montana State Crime Lab 
told the jury that hairs found on a blanket in the victim.s house 
.matched. hairs taken from Bromgard.s body. There were so many hairs that 
matched so well, the analyst said, that there was a .one in 10,000. chance 
the hairs could have come from anyone else.

But no one has ever established any statistics about the microscopic 
characteristics of hair, so .one in 10,000. odds isn.t based on scientific 
consensus. How common is it for a person to have a particular hair color, 
or for a hair to crinkle or curl just so? Scientists have never answered 
that question systematically. And what does .match. mean, anyway? There 
are no uniform guidelines to say how many characteristics two hairs must 
have in common before they.re said to .match.. It varies entirely from one 
lab to the next, from one technician to the next.

Barry Fisher, who served as the crime-laboratory director for the Los 
Angeles Sheriff.s Department for more than 20 years, was often stymied by 
this problem when he took the stand. .How do you convey the level of 
certainty?. Fisher asks. .Do you say to the jury, .I.m pretty sure.? .I.m 
very sure.? What do these things mean?.

To get around this problem, Garrett found, forensics experts too often 
overreach in their testimony.

When Ray Krone was convicted of murder in Arizona and sentenced to death 
in 1995, the testimony of a bite-mark analyst was key to the state.s case. 
.This is really an excellent match,. the analyst said on the stand, 
comparing Krone.s teeth with a bite mark on the murder victim. .That tooth 
caused that injury..

In fact, in its report the National Academy of Sciences found that, among 
all the forensic disciplines, only DNA has proved capable of 
.individualization..that is, demonstrating .a connection between evidence 
and a specific individual or source.. When the DNA in the Krone case was 
tested year later, he was exonerated, but only after spending a decade in 
prison.

The report has led a small but growing number of judges to take a more 
skeptical approach to forensics. In addition to the Supreme Court case, 
Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Gertner 
announced in March that she will allow forensic evidence in her courtroom 
only if a lawyer first proves in a pretrial hearing that the method is 
scientifically sound. .In the past, the admissibility of this kind of 
evidence was effectively presumed, largely because of . the fact that it 
had been admitted for decades,. Judge Gertner wrote in her order. .The NAS 
report suggests a different calculus..

The National Institute of Justice has funded some preliminary studies to 
establish the scientific information that has so far been missing; UCLA.s 
Mnookin and her colleagues are less than a year into a two-and-a-half-year 
grant to develop a more formalized and scientifically validated approach 
to fingerprint analysis. .It.s not that we know that they don.t work,. 
Mnookin says of fingerprints and other forensic methods. .It.s that we 
don.t have enough evidence about when they work, how they work, when they 
might not work.. The report also led to a series of Senate Judiciary 
Committee hearings. In January Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt. introduced a 
bill to address some of the major issues in the nation.s forensic system. 
The The Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act takes up many of 
the issues identified in the NAS report. Although the report has gotten a 
chilly reception from many forensics experts and prosecutors, many others 
in the field, like Fisher, believe reforms in the system are long overdue.

Geoffrey Mearns, a former federal prosecutor who helped try both Oklahoma 
City bombers Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh, regularly used forensics 
in his work. Mearns served on the committee that wrote the academy.s 
report. .I had assumed that there were well-established uniform processes 
and procedures in place. I really had faith in the accuracy, reliability, 
and that it was well grounded in science,. says Mearns, now provost and 
senior vice president for academic affairs at Cleveland State University. 
.When I realized my faith was not well placed, I was very concerned about 
the damage that it was doing to the accuracy and efficiency of 
law-enforcement investigations. Because if the science is not accurate, 
and is leading us to the wrong person, it.s not only causing a terrible 
injury to the wrong person, but it.s leading you away from the right 
person..

The 265 innocent people so far exonerated by DNA are lucky. Among the 
.hundreds, if not thousands. of people that the Innocence Project.s Peter 
Neufeld estimates were wrongfully convicted on the basis of faulty 
forensics, only a small percentage have DNA available to test. What is 
their recourse? Neufeld says his organization is counseling attorneys to 
submit a writ of habeas corpus.the legal system.s document of last 
resort.on the basis of newly discovered evidence: the fact that forensic 
science is not as scientific as it purported to be at the time of trial. 
However, .given the reluctance of judges to ever set aside convictions 
with anything less than DNA,. says Neufeld, .I am not as optimistic as I 
would like to be despite the fact that there.s a matter of fairness..

One of those exonerated after 15 years in prison was Roy Brown. He was 
convicted of murder in 1992 and sentenced to 25 years to life, partly on 
the basis of a bite-mark analyst who said that Brown.s teeth matched a 
wound on the victim .to a reasonable degree of dental certainty.. The fact 
that whoever had bitten the victim had six teeth on his upper jaw.the 
wound clearly had six impressions.whereas Roy Brown had only four was 
.inconsistent,. the analyst admitted, .but explainably so in my opinion..

DNA proved him innocent in 2006.

This reminds of the carnard that crypto weakness is in the
implementation or user ineptness not the algorithm, the math
nor the cryptographers.

Probably old stuff to the sharp tacks here, a 2007 paper describes 
how to retrieve keys from volatile memory not via brute force cracking 
or key logger or back doors or rubber hole or stupidly vain cryptographers. 
PGP Disk and TrueCrypto are used as examples of how to do it.


http://cryptome.org/0003/RAMisKey.pdf

This might suggest explain why those associated long-associated with 
PGP have moved on to less risky endeavors and why TrueCrypt is
so beloved by snoops.

The paper was written by a student which again demonstrates
that those with less of a stake in the most trustworthy security 
are seldom the most trustworthy and must be protected by secrecy.

Now, for dead-broke deep thinking futurists: 

Which is the world's greatest spying machine, the Internet or cellphones
or the two combined? 

What is the crucial aspect of each system which renders it susceptible to
covert
compromise? 

Which is most promoted as a way to assure freedom from compromise? 

Name the most prominent promoters for each. 

Name the most unknown skeptic for each.

Name three shame-faced apologists who admit they had not examined
the consequences of what they once believed with certainty.

Winners will receive a huge amount of untaxable cash amply hoarded

  We empirically evaluate the effectiveness of hard
  drive-oriented techniques and of the SSDs' built-in
  sanitization commands by extracting raw data from the SSD's
  flash chips after applying these techniques and commands. Our
  results lead to three conclusions: First, built-in commands
  are effective, but manufacturers sometimes implement them
  incorrectly. Second, overwriting the entire visible address
  space of an SSD twice is usually, but not always, sufficient
  to sanitize the drive. Third, none of the existing hard
  drive-oriented techniques for individual file sanitization are
  effective on SSDs.

Subject: [p2p-hackers] P2P file storage systems
Message-ID: <mailman.2810.1576008177.31620.cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org>

Dear Michael Militzer:

Thanks for your ideas about secure P2P storage, and thanks for your
interest in Tahoe-LAFS in particular.

Here are a couple of quick responses. I'm an architect and developer
of Tahoe-LAFS.

On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 7:45 AM, Michael Militzer <michael at xvid.org> wrote:

I also like that about Octavia. I'd like to see Octavia developed and
used more so I can learn more about the consequences of its
trade-offs.

Since it is so simple it should be relatively easy for a volunteer to
implement it or to contribute part of an implementation of it.
Somebody out there do that! :-)

Replication costs more bandwidth on upload than erasure coding does
(for a similar degree of fault-tolerance) as well as costing more
storage.

That's right, We have kicked around some ideas about how to do a more
scalable-DHT-like routing instead of keeping a connection open from
each client to each server, but even if we had such a thing Tahoe-LAFS
grids would still be comprised exclusively of servers whose owners
gave you some reason to believe that they were reliable. Scalable
routing a la DHT wouldn't be sufficient to allow you to safely rely on
strangers for storage, for various reasons that you touched on next:

Hm, but then you say something that I don't quite follow:

> service attacks, ...)

I think the word "trust" often causes confusion, because it bundles
together a lot of concepts into one word. I find that rephrasing
things in terms of "reliance" often makes things clearer.

So: Tahoe-LAFS users absolutely do *not* rely on the storage servers
for confidentiality and integrity. Confidentiality and integrity are
guaranteed by the user's client software, using math (cryptography).
Even if *all* of the storage servers that you are using turn out to be
controlled by a single malicious entity who will stop at nothing to
harm you, this doesn't threaten the confidentiality of the data in
your files nor its integrity.

But, Tahoe-LAFS users *do* rely on the storage servers for the
longevity and availability of their data. If the malicious entity that
controls all the servers decides to delete all of the ciphertext that
they are holding for you, then no mathematical magic will help you get
the data back. :-)

That is why Tahoe-LAFS users typically limit the set of storage
servers that they will entrust their ciphertext. They choose only
servers which are operated by friends of theirs, or by a company that
they pay for service, or servers operated by members of a group that
has collectively agreed to trade storage for storage with each other.

I wrote more on this topic in a letter to the tahoe-dev mailing list last night:

   "BitTorrent for storage" is a bad idea
http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-February/006150.html

Why do you think these parameters would need to be changed?

It is plenty efficient for k and n up to about 256. It is also
probably efficient enough for k and n up to about 2^16, although I'm
skeptical that anyone actually needs k and n that size.

There is a Merkle Tree in Tahoe-LAFS which is computed over the
identifiers of the n shares, so that Merkle Tree would grow in size as
n grew. However that is a small cost that probably wouldn't need much
if any optimization.

Hm, so if I understand correctly, Tahoe-LAFS currently doesn't have
*scalability* in terms of the number of servers, but it does have
nearly optimal *censorship resistance* at a given scale. For example,
suppose there are 200 servers which are all joined in the conspiracy
to host a repository of Free and Open Source Software, and some evil
attacker is expending resources attempting to disrupt that hosting or
deny users access to it. If those 200 servers are organized into a
traditional scalable DHT like Chord, then a client would have
approximately a logarithmic number of connections to servers, say to
perhaps eight of them. An attacker who wants to deny that client
access to the Free and Open Source software repository would have to
take down only eight servers or prevent the client from establishing
working connections to them, right? Whereas with a full bipartite
graph topology like Tahoe-LAFS the attacker would have to take down or
deny access to a substantial constant fraction of all 200 of them
(depending on the ratio of k to n).

(Note: is assuming that the erasure coding parameter n is turned up to
200, which is already supported in Tahoe-LAFS -- you can configure it
in the tahoe.cfg configuration file.)

(Note: this is about attacking the storage layer, not the introduction
layer. Those are separate in Tahoe-LAFS and while the latter does need
some work, it is probably easier to defend the introduction layer than
the storage layer since introducers are stateless and have minimal
ability to do damage if they act maliciously. Multiple redundant
introducers were implemented by MO Faruque Sarker as part of the
Google Summer of Code 2010 but it hasn't been merged into trunk yet.
You can help! We need code-review, testing, documentation, etc.
http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/68 :-) )

You may be interested in Tahoe-LAFS-over-Tor and Tahoe-LAFS-over-i2p.
:-) I'm sure both of those projects would be grateful for bug reports,
patches, etc.

Zooko

Yes i think the technologie is developed allready, imagine " zeroconf"

You'd probably want to hack up Mixminion's socket.connect stuff to use
a SOCKS-compatible version instead.  The functions to hack on the
client side would be in lib/mixminion/MMTPClient.py ; that's the part
that does the client-side network connections.

Unfortunately, Mixminion isn't maintained these days; if anybody is
interested in new versions coming out, they should subscribe to the
mixminion-dev list and coordinate with others.

Методы оптимизации расходов на выплату белой зарплаты: уменьшаем страховые взносы

Московский код; 7*Ч2_9i-98 \\\/// ЧЧ53266

Цель:
Ставка обязательных страховых взносов с зарплаты с 2011 года составляет 34% почти для всех плательщиков (включая субъектов УСН и ЕНВД). При этом регрессивная шкала ЕСН заменена отменой уплаты взносов с суммы дохода свыше 463 тыс. рублей, но доступно это будет только для высокооплачиваемых сотрудников. Если вспомнить про 13% НДФЛ и НДС, который тоже косвенно является налогом на зарплату, то многие предприниматели и руководители видят только один путь √ назад, к "черным" схемам.

Курс посвящен поиску путей выживания компаний в новой ситуации при условии легальности всех выплат доходов физическим лицам. Участники узнают, как можно и как нельзя оптимизировать "зарплатные" налоги с учетом будущих изменений законодательства, судебной практики и тенденций развития правоприменительной практики.

Программа:

1. Обзор изменений законодательства, связанных с повышением ставки страховых взносов Сколько и каких налогов и взносов платят предприятия и ИП на общей системе налогообложения и спецрежимах в 2011 гг. Какие схемы стали невыгодными; у каких налогоплательщиков положение даже улучшилось.

2. Понятие и принципы налогового планирования: платить налоги, но не переплачивать. "Черные", "серые" и "белые" схемы. Классификация методов оптимизации налогообложения доходов физических лиц.

3. Использование специальных налоговых режимов:

 * в каком случае выплата зарплаты на спецрежимах сохраняет актуальность в 2011 г.;

 * дивидендные схемы √ замена выплаты зарплате на "упрощенке"? Нюансы, рекомендации. Выплата квартальных дивидендов ежемесячно частями. Выплаты из прибыли в АО, ООО, производственном кооперативе ("народном предприятии"). Расчет эффективности,

 * договоры с предпринимателем: возмездного оказания услуг, выполнения работ, агентский, транспортные услуги, механизм трансфертных цен, штрафные санкции, аренда и пр. Расчет эффективности,

 * дарение физлицом наличных денег, заработанных в качестве предпринимателя: легальная альтернатива обналичиванию, дающая безналоговый доход? Выбор банков, проблемы, связанные с кассовой дисциплиной и политикой ЦБ. Текущая ситуация с обложением таких доходов НДФЛ.

4. Условия применения всех схем: Непритворный характер заключаемых сделок. Экономическая целесообразность расходов ("деловая цель", "легенда", отсутствие дублирующихся функций). Грамотное обоснование цен и документальное оформление расходов. Неаффилированность, прямые и косвенные признаки аффилированности, ее негативные последствия и когда она допустима; "искусственное дробление бизнеса с целью уклонения от уплаты налогов" (подход "как к ЮКОСу"); "деловые цели", обосновывающие деление бизнеса. Самостоятельность низконалоговых субъектов.

5. Использование вспомогательных организаций:
 * "инвалидные" организации и их филиалы, актуальность;
 * страховые компании. Страхование жизни работников и ДМС за счет предприятия.

6. Использование иностранных (низконалоговых) компаний. Корпоративные или личные пластиковые карты иностранных банков. Перевод на них или на карты российских банков зарплат, гонораров и иных легальных доходов от нерезидентов.

7. Как компенсировать "выпадение" отчислений в Пенсионный фонд на накопительную часть пенсии, в ФСС и ФОМС при применении налоговых схем, не предусматривающих выплату зарплаты.

8. Использование процентных займов от физлиц. Расчет эффективности.

9. Специальные методы. Все виды компенсаций (за несвоевременную выплату заработной платы, за использование личного имущества, за разъездной характер работы, "золотые парашюты" и др.). Выплата арендной платы. Закуп у физлиц ТМЦ. Суточные. Обучение сотрудников с заключением ученического договора, как способ налогового планирования.

10. Потребительское кредитование, компенсация процентов по ипотечным кредитам и другие эффективные способы замены заработной платы безналоговыми источниками материальной выгоды,

11. Создание недоимки по налогам с ФОТ на фирме, не обремененной активами √ пример "серой" схемы (как нельзя "оптимизировать"!),

12. Способы подтверждения источников крупных расходов физлиц и когда это необходимо.

13. Ответы на вопросы. По желанию √ индивидуальное экспресс-моделирование схем налогового планирования для компаний-участниц семинара.

Subject: Feasibility of Using TOR or VPNs For Anonymity
Message-ID: <4D640DBB.5090900@gmail.com>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I've been told TOR and VPNs are heralded for their anonymizing
properties however the skeptic in me says that there are some serious
failing points.

It goes without saying that recipients of this list knows their stuff
about prying eyes and third parties surveilling activities of
"activists" or people of interest.

So, how does one engage in electronic communication whilst maintaining
anonymity from governments, business, and rambunctious infosec techies?

I've also been told that TOR exit nodes are often run by governments to
filter and collect outgoing data that can use to build a profile on a
person. How dangerous is this problem? Wouldn't the SSL'd connections
between TOR nodes mitigate the issue?

My present strategy is to employ the use of a VPN that retains IP
address logs for 24 hours before wiping for all communications. The VPN
is located outside the US, and is apparently regarded as "safe" by a few
paranoid individuals. I know there are a few pitfalls there, how dire
are they?

In short, I need to be able to disassociate my real identity with this
pseudonym effectively enough to "hide" from governments and third
parties... At least in terms of originating IP addresses to public
services like email.

Subject: Feasibility of Using TOR or VPNs For Anonymity
In-Reply-To: <4D640DBB.5090900@gmail.com>
Message-ID: <E1PrzLG-0000nc-00@pop04.mail.atl.earthlink.net>

You may not be aware that such questions are now commonplace
by commercial spies like HBGary and ilk.

So here is what you tell them buzzards openly with your nym
prominent:

The design of the Internet prevents concealed communication
from being possible.

How to prevent using the Internet to do what you want was its
first design requirement. Still there have been numerous attempts
to get around the Internet's fundamental prohibition against being 
traced.

A canard has been promulagated that the Internet routes around
censorship and based on that there continues to be a hope that
untraceability is in the offing. TOR and VPN claimed to be able
to do that but cannot, don't waste your time, they were compromised
by design. Many more out there and more hidden to assure suckering.

All mass communication must be capable of tracing its users,
for "administration and management." Designers and sysadmins 
of any of these systems know that but keep it quiet to protect their 
jobs and investor profits. Privacy shams encourage trust in these
systems as in confessionals and torture holes.

There may be a way to communicate with a few people without
using any means of mass communication but not with many and
pretty soon one or more of them will rat on the other users, either
for pay or for jealous revenge at being stooged. TOR is a
fish trap.

This is not limited to technological means of communication,
it applies to any form, verbal, written, sign, smoke, ear wiggle,
eye blink, twitch, finger, forked tongue, boogie, hickory stick,
mail drop, dead drop, fake rock, gut condom, vaginal and anal 
beads, DNA and quanta.

You might think keeping your mouth shut would do it, but no
no no. Too late for that unless it was never opened begging
for tit. Tits have you by the balls. So go to work and pay your
dues.

But even then expect to be reported to the authorities as a 
menace to society for asking these questions. Or, if you're
broke, report your gang and its fledging means of hiding.

In reply to John:

So you say all hope is lost, then? That Nineteen Eighty-Four has come
upon us? Don't tell me you give up a white flag so easily. If a system
has been build, it can be broken.

Then lets look to mitigation and obfuscation. What is the lesser of two
evils? I have been suspicious of TOR long enough to stop using it. But
the technology of VPNs don't seem to be the failing point, it's its
operators.

What of compromised servers? Installing a network of VPNs or a darknet
on a host of unsuspecting machines, thus leaving them exposed to the
world whilst I comfortably stay obfuscated? Perhaps a more blackhat
approach is the way to go.

I'm only briefly aware of HBGary and others, but from what I've heard
that is the exact reason why I'd prefer to operate under a pseudonym and
not my real identity.

Perhaps some faith should be placed in the design of the P2P DNS
infrastructure? One that could, hopefully, provide a safer haven that
traditional DNS and Internet structure.

Your skepticism is fitting.  In fact, even the TOR documentation
concurs:

   ... for low-latency systems like Tor, end-to-end traffic
   correlation attacks [8, 21, 31] allow an attacker who can observe
   both ends of a communication to correlate packet timing and volume,
   quickly linking the initiator to her destination.

Why You Need to Buy Penis Pills?
If you choose the right penis enhancement pills that work for you, you will find yourself unwilling to go back to how "sex used to be."

Men use male enhancement supplements for a wide range of reasons. Indeed, there are certain factors that can interfere with a man's optimum enjoyment of sex - lifestyle, health habits, stress, aging, and many others. Many men would like to counter the effect of these factors by taking penis pills. For some, they want to improve certain aspects of their sexuality, such as:
- Shortening the time it takes to achieve erection
- Improving quality of erection - attaining harder, firmer and longer-lasting erections
- Increase semen volume
- Enhance sperm motility and virility
- Increase sexual drive and libido
- Heighten sexual stamina
- Achieve more intense, longer and more frequent orgasms

Dear Zooko,

thanks for your detailed comments. I'd like to elaborate some more on
them in the following:

Quoting Zooko O'Whielacronx <zooko at zooko.com>:

True. But the repair cost is minimal compared to replacing a lost erasure
coded fragment. So assuming long-lived data stored in a network of dynamic,
unreliable peers (P2P), repair may be frequently needed and cost much more
bandwidth over the whole life-time of a data object than the initial upload.
In such an environment replication can hence be more bandwidth efficient
than erasure coding - while of course requiring more storage in any case.

                    ^^
That is exactly what I initially referred to as "trusted" and "trusted
environment". Because the servers that take part in the grid are selected
(friends, an operator you trust, etc.), you can assume within Tahoe's
use-case that all (or almost all) servers are honest and have no
malicious intentions.

This assumption is not important for data integrity and confidentiality
because this is assured by cryptographic primitives. However, this trust
relationship ("friends network") is necessary to gain reliability with
regard to data availability / accessibility and censorship-resistance.

When you give up the assumption of a trusted environment and allow random
strangers to join the network and serve as storage nodes, the Tahoe design
can become vulnerable to DoS attacks. That's not a criticism of Tahoe at
all because it's not the use-case of Tahoe. I just wanted to point out why
Tahoe cannot be employed (at least not without modification) for the use
case I have in mind: A global P2P file store made of arbitrary, unreliable
nodes.

Ok, we can use the term reliable or maybe it's clearer referring to game
theory's "selfish but honest". I realize now that my claim that Tahoe
would not be deployable to "untrusted nodes" might have sound as if I
wanted to challenge Tahoe's least authority principle. That's of course
not the case.

I just wanted to point out that a) Tahoe doesn't scale to the size I'd
like and b) is not designed to withstand the presence of malicious nodes.
Both would however be needed for the use-case I have in mind.

I know. That's why I also said that I don't think Tahoe has deficiencies
with regard to confidentiality and integrity even if used on a global

Correct. But you can design the system in such a way that the data will
still be available as long as only a certain percentage of the nodes are
"honest". Then the key to achieve a reliable storage system reduces to
making it practically impossible that any single malicious entity can
gain control over the necessary set of network nodes. And here, size
becomes your friend: The larger the network and the wider the stored data
is dispersed, the harder for a single attacker to reach the necessary
percentage to break availability. That's mathematical magic too ;)

Yep, I understand the concept. That's the trust relationship I initially
referred to. However, I don't quite like the concept ;)

It certainly has a use-case but it is limited imho. Your average Joe will
pretty certainly not be able to set up a dedicated storage network with
his friends. It's too complicated (or he doesn't have friends ;)). The
only easy option is to connect to the storage grid of a commercial provider
(like allmydata was). But then you suffer from some similar risks than
when using a central cloud storage system in the first place: provider
insolvency, management fault, etc.

So: One large, public network where everyone could freely join or leave
would be much easier from a usability point of view: Just download and
run the software and you're ready to start. No setup, no configuration,
no further management required.

Thanks for the cross-post. I'm not on the Tahoe dev list, so I missed the
earlier discussion. To clarify: I don't think your documentation on Tahoe
is incomprehensible. Seems it is rather me who is widely misunderstood ;)

I think I've made it clear above what I was referring to with "untrusted
nodes" and that I don't think Tahoe has any design problem within the
scope of its targeted use-case.

The question is rather whether "BitTorrent for storage" is really a bad
idea and whether there's really no value for Tahoe in dropping the "friends
network" assumption.

I named "ease of use" as an argument already. And I think this is not just
a "nice to have" feature. If ease of use is not provided built-in, people
will look for alternatives to easily join a storage grid. If you think
experiments like "volunteer-grid" a bit further you are not far from my
envisioned ad-hoc network of strangers. The participants in such a volunteer
grid are not your friends. Can you still disregard the possibility of
malicious nodes for this use-case?

For several considerations:

In a P2P network made of home computers, the availability of the single
nodes will be significantly lower than for dedicated storage nodes in a
grid (maybe just around 30-40% instead of 90%). To still achieve high
overall availability, n needs to be increased (or more precisely: n/k).

Because we however don't want to introduce too much redundancy and waste
storage, we'd like to increase system availability primarily by increasing
k. This has also the advantage that we could download from many sources
in parallel and better level the node heterogenity with regard to available
upstream bandwidth.

Finally, large k (and n) makes it much harder for a malicious entity to
attack the availability of a file because the attacker then needs to gain
control over not just a few but many specific storage nodes, which - with
proper admission control and network size - can be made largely infeasible.

Hm, what is plenty efficient for you? Again, I have to admit that I didn't
run any specific tests with zfec, so my opinion is mostly guess-work: I
read James Plank's paper on open-source erasure coding libraries that
included some numbers on zfec and did some actual tests with Alexandre
Soro's Fermat-prime based reed-solomon implementation (which should be more
efficient than zfec for k, n >= 256 - at least in theory): For k = 256 and
n = 1024, I get a decoding speed of about 7.5 Mbit/s on my two years  
old notebook.

But this is not efficient enough for me. Erasure decoding speed should be
much higher than network bandwidth. And considering that the next-gen
broadband internet links offer 100 MBit/s for the home user, 7.5 Mbit/s
erasure decoding seems by far not sufficient.

Yes, the size of the hash tree should indeed be less of an issue.

Could be even worse. Actually, if an attacker sits somewhere along the DHT
lookup path he could pretend to be the root node for a searched key. In
that case (and assuming a traditional DHT) just one compromised node could
already be sufficient to make certain data unavailable.

Yes. But again: I didn't challenge that ;) Tahoe is good for its current
use case. I was rather responding to questions like "Why don't you simply
use Tahoe for what you have in mind?".

BTW: While Tahoe is pretty censorship-resistant (depending on the size and
ratio of k to n as well as the number of independent parties in the grid),
censorship is a problem you shouldn't need to worry about too much in a
network of "friends" anyway. And for the use-case where the whole storage
grid is operated by just one commercial provider you have no censorship-
resistance anyway - no matter what is the network topology ;)

Yes, that's the same consideration why I proposed to increase k and n too:
Larger k and n reduce the feasibility of DoS attacks.

I agree that bootstrapping can be rather easily distributed and thereby
made more robust against potential attacks.

Not really. I'm not convinced of the onion routing or mixnet concepts for
such a storage use-case. First, it's inefficient as lots of bandwidth is
"wasted". Second, is sender and receiver anonymity really what we need?

I think in a storage network there is no need to disguise who communicates
with whom or who participates in the network at all. For privacy, it's  
important to obfuscate which nodes store which data and consequently who
accesses or forwards which data.

Anonymous routing is not sufficient to solve the former and does not fix
the "legal attack" problem I mentioned (rather the opposite seems to be
true). Let's consider the case of downloading a MP3 file in Freenet
(the infamous "anonymous filesharing" use-case):

The file is stored (or cached) encrypted on some node. It is transferred
to the requester by onion routing. Indeed, the downloader cannot determine
the identity of the storage node and the storage node doesn't know the
identity of the requester. So with regard to criminal liability this scheme
may provide some protection (plausible deniability, benefit of the doubt).

However, in civil law it doesn't matter who is the original sender and who
the actual receiver of the copyrighted work. Everybody who participates in
the copying and distribution of the file can become liable to recourse. This
means that the copyright holder can send a C&D letter to every node along
the onion route - and not just sue sender or receiver. And it should not be
difficult to log the identity of some of the hops along the route.

Now I don't want to promote any "anonymous filesharing" nonsense. I just
think that in order for people to accept the use of online storage their
data needs to be as "safe" from third-party delete requests as on their
local hard disk. Further, people will only be ready to participate in such
a network (and dedicate storage to it) when they don't risk to be held
liable for the actions of others.

Regards,
Michael

1. Hungary amends its controversial Media Law
============================================================

As a result of the concern expressed by the European Commission and
following the meetings with the Commission's experts on 7 and 15 February
2011, the Hungarian authorities have decided to amend their new
controversial media legislation.

The main issues of concern were related to four issues:

1. The disproportionate application of rules on balanced information due to
the lack of limiting criteria, which was considered a breach of the
Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS), the EU Treaty rules on the
establishment and provision of services and of Article 11 of the EU Charter
of Fundamental Rights concerning the fundamental freedom of expression and
information. The amendment brought by the Hungarian government is that
requirements regarding balanced information will be limited to broadcasting,
being no longer applied for on-demand media services.

2. The application of fines to broadcasters legally established and
authorised in other Member States which could breach the "country of origin"
principle established by the AVMS Directive, according to which, audiovisual
media service providers are subject to the regulations in their country of
origin only. The Hungarian authorities agreed to amend this by removing the
ability to fine legally established broadcasters in other EU countries.

3. The rules on registration and authorisation of media service providers
which apply to on-demand media services, press products and ancillary media
services could imply that they are required to register before they are
allowed to provide services in Hungary and are thus subject to an
authorisation scheme. These provisions could create an unjustified
restriction of the Treaty rules on freedom of establishment.

The amendment agreed upon clarifies that on-demand audiovisual media service
providers, media product publishers and ancillary media service providers
would have to register within 60 days after having begun providing
their services, meaning that these providers established in Hungary
and in other Member States would no longer be subject to prior authorisation
by the Hungarian authorities.

4. The law dictated that media content may not "cause offence", even by
implication, to individuals, minorities or majorities and which apply to all
media content providers, including those established in other EU countries.
These provisions have been limited, for all media content providers, to
situations of incitement to hatred or discrimination.

"I am very pleased that the Hungarian authorities have agreed to amend their
Media Law to ensure that it complies with the aspects of EU law that we have
raised, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights", stated Neelie Kroes,
EC Vice-President and European Digital Agenda Commissioner who added that
the European Commission will continue to closely monitor the adoption and
implementation of the amendments.

However, the opponents of the Hungarian media law are still sceptical and
the debate in the European Parliament on 16 February also raised issues
that had not been addressed by of the Hungarian authorities, such as the
political control over the country's media authority.

According to Martin Schulz EMP (Germany), the Socialists & Democrats group
leader, "At first glance, a series of changes, some of technical nature have
taken place. But other important matters, such as the composition of Media
Council, are outstanding. (...) We still need to analyse the text carefully.
Media freedom is an issue of central importance to the S&D group and we will
do everything in our power to protect it."

During the meeting of the European Parliament's group leaders (with
exception of the EPP) on 17 February, the decision was taken to postpone the
vote on the Hungarian media law but not withdraw a resolution on the matter.

"Whilst it is a positive sign that the Hungarian Government have indicated a
willingness to modify the four areas of concern outlined by the Commission,
Liberals and Democrats remain concerned about other aspects of the Hungarian
law which place huge powers of censorship in the hands of governing party
appointees and reveal a lack of adequate protection for journalists' sources
as well as insufficient provision for judicial review or appeal," said
Renate Weber (PNL, Romania) ALDE coordinator in the Civil Liberties
committee and spokesperson on the Hungarian media law who added that the
Hungarian Government "should consider a more fundamental overhaul of the law
in line with the recommendations of the OSCE."

2. EESC condemns body scanners as a breach of fundamental rights
============================================================

On 16 February 2011, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)
issued its opinion on the use of body scanners in EU airports.

The EESC has opposed the eventual adoption of any measures that would
introduce body scanners on an EU-wide level, and feel that the Commission
Communication on the use of security scanners does not respect three basic
criteria: necessity, proportionality and legality.

The document also criticises the Commission for changing the term "body
scanners" to "security scanners", and outlines four central critiques with
regard to the Commission Communication, namely, proportionality, fundamental
rights, health risks and passenger rights .

The document urges the Commission to produce a thorough proportionality test
in order to determine the necessity of their implementation versus
alternative measures. The EESC suggests that the Commission seriously
consider alternatives and that it might be better to wait for more precise
and less intrusive technology which can recognise security hazards.

The EESC objects to the infringement of fundamental rights as a trade-off
for public security. The costs to fundamental rights are three fold:
personal privacy, data privacy and the right to human dignity. To further
underline the inherent risks, the document cites a case in a Florida airport
where 35 000 naked scans were recorded by officers and distributed on the
Internet.

As there exists no code of best practices or conclusive proof that these
scanners do not pose health risks to individuals, the EESC requests that the
Commission provide a thorough scientific examination proving that passengers
and personnel who frequently fly will not be exposed to any health risks.

The Committee also reminded the Commission that its Communication did not
include guarantees of effective recourse for passengers and personnel
undergoing the scans, and also failed to include guarantees that passengers
will not obliged to undergo body scanning, ensuring individuals reserve the
right to 'opt out' while not suffering longer wait times, more intrusive
pat-downs, or be prevented from flying.

Body scanners are currently in a trial period in the EU, where
approximately 5 or 6 Member States have deployed the technology, including
the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, France and Italy (according to a press
release from 15 June 2010).

The Commission is convinced that a more harmonised approach to body scanners
is needed throughout the EU, thus it is likely that an EU legal framework on
the use of "security scanners" at EU airports will be produced sometime in
the near future.

3. The French supreme court recognizes hosting status of Web 2.0 services
============================================================

On 17 February 2011 the French Court of Cassation recognized the hosting
status of Dailymotion and Fuzz.fr. The court also confirmed, in relation to
the Amen website case, that the judges had to verify that the content
withdrawal requests observed the requirements of LCEN (loi pour la confiance
dans l'iconomie numirique - French implementation of the EU E-commerce
Directive) before condemning a hosting site that had not withdrawn promptly
the notified content.

The decisions of the Court of Cassation establish clearly the boundary
between a content hosting site and a web service editor. In the Dailymotion
case, it comes to confirm the decision of the French Court of Appeal of May
2009 which overturned a 2007 court decision that considered the hosting site
liable for the content posted online on its platform. Moreover, the site had
responded immediately after having been notified that it was hosting illegal
content.

The Court of Cassation also overturned the decision against Fuzz.fr in
the case introduced by actor Olivier Martinez. In 2008, a French court
decided that the owner of the website had an editorial responsibility, even
if the website was a digg-like service (where the users can vote which news
comes on first) and forced him to pay 1000 euro in damages for infringing
the actor's privacy and an additional 1500 euro in legal fees. The Court of
Cassation considered fuzz.fr a hosting site in terms of LCEN and therefore
not liable for the content posted on it.

An important clarification in relation both to Dailymotion and the Amen
hosting site is the necessity to correctly formulate the requests for
content withdrawal by taking all actions stipulated by the law.

According to LCEN, the request to withdraw content must cover a
series of elements including the notification date, the identification
data of the notifying person (either natural or legal), the identification
data of the addressee, the description of the litigious facts and precise
location, the reasons for the withdrawal, including legal basis and
justification, , a copy of the correspondence addressed to the author or
editor of the litigious actions asking for their interruption, withdrawal or
modification, or the justification of the fact that the author or editor
could not be contacted.

The subsidiarity principle is thus observed, meaning that a hosting site
cannot be required to withdraw content before proving that the author of the
content has been first contacted and required to withdraw the respective
content. This could be the end of mass withdrawals of files without any
previous procedure.

However, the Legal Commission of the Senate seems to want to change the
rules and on 15 February 2011 it proposed the creation of a new status
between hoster and editor that will have filtering and surveillance
obligations.

4. The US pressures the EU to pass ACTA before the end of 2011
============================================================

The US government has expressed its eagerness to see ACTA passed by the
European Parliament this year. The controversial treaty allows governments
to "order an online service provider to disclose (...) information
sufficient to identify a subscriber whose account was allegedly used for
infringement (...) of trademark or copyright or related rights
infringement."

Pressures from the US are expected to increase in the next months, having in
view that there is the possibility that the European Parliament strikes down
the agreement which means that talks would start again from the beginning.
Based on a recent study issued by legal informatics experts from the German
University in Hannover, ACTA raises a series of problems in complying with
EU legislation and therefore the report advises MEPs to strike the act
down or significantly change it.

Hence, four MEPs sent on 15 February 2011 written questions to the EU
Commission asking whether it was aware of the negative legal opinion and
how it intended to deal with it. One of the issues raised by the MEPs was
the different formulations on the level of damages for intellectual property
infringements. Another aspect is related to how the new measures targeting
counterfeit products, but also copyright and trademark infringements, will
avoid impeding the legal movement of medicines.

The atmosphere is already tense as recently, La Quadrature du Net has
obtained from WikiLeaks exclusive access to diplomatic cables revealing
pressure put by the US government on several European governments,
especially in Spain, for the adoption of harsh copyright enforcement laws.
The US Embassy cables refer to the EU Telecoms Package in the context of
copyright, expressing its approval for cutting off Internet access without
the necessity of a court order, as well as for the French three-strikes
system and similar measures adopted in the UK.

They also show the main role of the US in the initiation of ACTA, the stakes
involved, the debates related to the participation of developing countries,
as well as the evolution of the position of the European Union during the
negotiations. Although the EU Commission has strongly criticised ACTA,
several EU national governments have negotiated the treaty behind closed
doors.

On the other hand, the European Parliament has, in its turn, concluded a
free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea that is not far off from ACTA,
including strong provisions on intellectual property rights protection.

The FTA with Korea, which will come into effect on 1 July 2011,  includes,
just like ACTA, excessive criminal liability provisions for online
intellectual property infringements.

As the rapporteur for the Industry Committee of the Parliament, Daniel
Caspary pointed out, the level of IP protection standards in the EU-Korea
FTA includes not only copyright, related rights and trademarks, but also
designs, services marks, layout designs of integrated circuits, geographical
indications, plant varieties and the "protection of undisclosed
information".

The treaty stipulates other measures including searches and seizures at the
request of rights holders and gives broadcasters the right to prohibit
re-broadcasting, fixation, and communication to the public of their TV
broadcasts for a fee.

According to Green party member Jan Philipp Albrecht, the FTA is similar to
ACTA as the information about the provisions of the agreement were
kept secret before the it was signed by the parties involved.

5. German law on Internet blocking challenged in Constitutional Court
============================================================

On 22 February 2011 the German Working Group against Internet
Blocking and Censorship (AK Zensur) submitted their complaint against
the German law on Internet blocking to Germany's Constitutional Court.
The law is directed against online child abuse material and had come
into force on 23 February 2010, setting a one-year deadline for the
complaint.

AK Zensur and many others had fiercely opposed the law and announced
that a complaint would be filed when the law was enacted by Parliament
in June 2009. An online petition against the law collected 134 000
signatures in May and June, the highest number ever achieved at the
German Parliament's online petitions system. A curious situation emerged
when the government changed after the elections in September 2009,
taking the liberal party FDP into power in a coalition with the
conservative CDU/CSU. The FDP had opposed the blocking law in their
election campaign, and before the law came into force, it was agreed
that it would not be fully implemented. In a legally dubious move, a
"non-application directive" by the Interior minister stipulated that
initially, only take-down was to be attempted, and the governing parties
agreed that a review would be held about a year later.

This created something of a legal absurdity as the consequences of the
law are not fully felt at the moment when the deadline to complain is
expiring. But AK Zensur and its lawyers are confident that even now,
many aspects of the law are in clear violation of the German
Constitution, and several experts had voiced similar concerns at a
parliamentary hearing before the law was enacted. While political
support for the ill-fated law has widely diminished, the governing
parties have not found the will to abolish it in a new Parliamentary act.
AK Zensur is hopeful that with its complaint, it will be able to do
the politicians' homework for them. A website collecting signatures to
support the complaint in the political debate will be started soon.

6. Polish civil society stirs up debate on Internet freedom
============================================================

The Polish chapter in the European debate on whether Internet blocking can
be conceived as a measure in fighting the dissemination of child abuse
images has finally been opened. This is due to the quite successful
campaign that EDRi-member Panoptykon Foundation, supported by the open
source movement and Internet Society Poland, has been running over last few
weeks.

It has long been unclear what position the government will take with regard
to the Directive on combating sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of
children and child pornography. The Polish representative in the Council
refrained from taking a firm standpoint, which made us believe
that the government - mindful of civil society's likely outrage - is
playing hide and seek, hoping that the Directive will be adopted with
the silent approval of Poland. Provoked by this game, back in November, we
managed to trigger some interest in this topic in two leading daily
newspapers. Right after the first article describing the alleged
tactic of the Polish government was published, the spokesperson of the
Ministry of Justice confirmed that the government "of course, supports
the Directive", including the concept of obligatory Internet blocking.
This position was made very clear at the JHA meeting on 3 December 2010.

To us it clearly meant that the government was trying to do some policy
laundering. Almost exactly a year ago, - Polish Prime
Minister Donald Tusk, in a public debate with NGOs and Internet activists,
acknowledged that blocking Internet sites is a flawed measure and
should not be applied. Moreover, he promised that any future plans to
introduce legal measures affecting Internet freedom would involve
consultation with civil society. The present policy and the way it has been
carried out so far clearly contradicts both promises.

In an attempt to draw more attention to what is happening in Brussels
with the support of our government, Panoptykon organised a public debate
under the auspices of Polish Ombudsman, Prof. Irena Lipowicz which took
place on 10 February 2011. The discussion panel was composed of
representatives of the Ministry of Justice and four foundations representing
both sides of the debate: Panoptykon, Kidprotect.pl, Safe Cyberspace and
Nobody's Children. The audience consisted mainly of journalists, academic
society representatives and technologically minded individuals.

While Panoptykon argued that there was no collision between protecting
children and Internet freedom because child abuse images can be effectively
removed and therefore do not need to be blocked, our opponents claimed the
opposite, on the grounds that international cooperation did not function
well enough. The debate revolved around the following issues: what are
the technical possibilities of removing illegal content; how to ensure both
fast reaction and due process; what are the challenges of international
cooperation; how can we prove that blocking tends to be used instead of and
not in addition to fighting crimes against children; how blocking can
disturb pending police investigations; how big the problem of child abuse
images on-line really is; and what role can the Internet community play in
addressing the problem.

The Government's representative, Tomasz Darkowski, argued in
favour of web blocking. Mr Darkowski stressed that the Directive
should, in the first place, prevent Internet users from accidental and
unwanted contact with child abuse images. He also expressed a strong
belief that web blocking would remain strictly to child abuse
images and there were no reasons to worry about possibilities of
extending blocking to other types of content. This claim is all the
more astonishing when one can already hear some politicians suggesting
that hate speech and illegal gambling sites should be blocked. Polish
experience clearly shows that it does not take a lot to change an
existing law, especially in order to make it more radical.

In the end, the Ombudsman had a voice. She expressed her astonishment
with the hot atmosphere of the meeting caused by the huge societal interest
in the issue of website blocking. Prof. Lipowicz called in for more evidence
and analysis to support our claims. It was also clear that further
discussions are needed - first to explain the technical aspects of
blocking and the second to analyse the risk of extending blocking to
other types of "unwanted" content. The office of the Ombudsman is committed
to helping us continue the debate. In the meantime, we are collecting
evidence and analyses requested by the Ombudsman (the action called "Respond
the Ombudsman") and preparing an electronic publication that will summarise
the debate. It will be published on 10 March 2011.

Finally, together with five other organisations, Panoptykon has sent an open
letter to the Prime Minister calling for a meeting "a year after". We want a
serious discussion on the future of Internet freedom in Poland, which seems
threatened not only by the blocking proposal. There are at least four other
controversial and pending areas of regulation, which need to be explored:
data retention, content liability, nonlinear audiovisual services and the
implementation of the Telecoms Package. We hope that the Prime Minister will
accept our invitation and a working meeting with the government will
happen before 15 March.

With regard to Internet blocking, we hope to hear from the
Prime Minister the same words we heard from Woody Allen's
character, quantum physics genius Boris Yellnikoff: "However, as only
a great mind can do, I've reassessed... my... position, and uh,
changed my mind."

7. France: Loppsi 2 adopted - Internet filtering without court order
============================================================

The French so-called Loppsi 2 draft law was adopted on 8 February 2011 by
the National Assembly as well as by the Senate without modifications, thus
allowing for the blocking of Internet access of a site deemed as having
"obvious" child pornographic content, without a court order. The text is
challenged by the Constitutional Court that will to decide whether the
new provisions are constitutional or not.

The draft law also allows for the installation of spyware by the police and
reinforces video-surveillance by the use of electronic bracelets.
Following its adoption, the opposition has filed an appeal against the law
to the Constitutional Council, showing concerns that the draft law gives
authorities "obvious inappropriate means" without "providing enough
guarantees against the eventual damages to the freedom of expression".

La Quadrature du Net has recently sent a memo to the Council asking for the
rejection of the Internet filtering as being against the Constitution,
inefficient and disproportionate. The group believes the law is a Trojan
horse which, under false pretences, will legitimise Internet censorship.
There will be no control over the way the filtering techniques will be set
up and, as the blacklist of websites to be filtered will be kept secret, it
will also be impossible to file complaints against filtering actions.

CFE-CGC professional unions as well as Unsa-Tilicoms union from France
Tilicom-Orange believe this is "a festival of incompetence, where, in the
name of overall security, this mixing-all text undermines fundamental
principles, especially in relation to the Internet, with the announced
blocking of the sites in the name of the fight against child pornography".

8. Is the EU going to have a new common patent law?
============================================================

Based on a recommendation of the Committee on Legal Affairs, the European
Parliament approved on 15 February 2011 the use of the enhanced co-operation
procedure to create a unitary patent system in the EU, following the
request made by 12 Member States in December 2010.

Presently, there are national patents coexisting with a European patent in a
complicated and fragmented system which implies that the patent holders must
choose the countries where they want patent protection. Also, Member
States may impose additional requirements and the European patents are only
enforced by national laws. The expenses involved are also very high because
the current system requires the translation into the official language of
every country in which patent protection is sought. According to the
European Commission, a European patent validated in 13 countries can cost up
to 18 000 euro, more than half of which on translation fees.

Attempts have been made during the last year to get a unified system but
they have failed mostly due to translation issues. In 2010, Spain and
Italy raised objections to the EU plans to allow EU patents to be printed in
any of the three EU official languages: English, French or German. The
enhanced co-operation procedure allows a group of EU nations to use EU
government bodies to create a new system when unanimous agreement cannot be
found. Other countries can opt-in to the new rules later on. Under the
Lisbon Treaty a minimum of nine Member States is enough for this procedure.
The Member States, having initiated the proposal, believe a unitary patent
system in EU will make things cheaper and easier, will ensure equal access
to all inventors within the EU and will simplify the handling of
infringements. .

The enhanced co-operation proposal is still to be examined by the
Competitiveness Council on 10 March 2011. If approved by the Council as
well, the Commission will have to present two proposals, one on the language
regime (consultation procedure) and the other establishing the single patent
(co-decision procedure).

However, a key legal opinion by the European Court of Justice is expected at
the end of this month regarding the proposed "enhanced cooperation".
According to documents published until now, the Court might find the
proposal in conflict with the EU treaties, which will delay the process and
require changes to the proposal.

Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) has expressed concerns that the
European Parliament might lose its legislative competence regarding patents,
which will be controlled by the European Patent Organisation (EPO). A
conflict of interest would then be created, the EPO being responsible both
for awarding patents and for defining what is patentable.

FSFE also believes that "software patents hurt innovation and are an
unnecessary burden on European software developers. (...) Legislators need
to take charge and make sure the patent system contributes to the public
good. As the European Patent Organisation has acknowledged, this is a
decision that cannot be left to bureaucrats and the judiciary."

Spain and Italy might also use the courts to further postpone the process.

9. European Privacy & Human Rights 2010
============================================================

On Data Protection Day, 28 January 2011, Privacy International, the Center
for Media and Communication Studies of the Central European University and
the Electronic Privacy Information Center, released the European Privacy &
Human Rights 2010 (EPHR) report. The survey reviews the landscape of
national privacy and data protection laws and regulations, in addition to
other laws, cases and recent developments, such as European NGOs' advocacy
activities, that have had an impact on privacy in Europe in the last two
years. The research field covers jurisdictions of all 27 EU Member States,
two EFTA countries (Norway and Switzerland), three EU accession candidate
states (Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey), and the EU itself as a jurisdiction.

Apart from the country-by-country analysis in 33 reports, the survey also
provides a comparative legal and policy analysis of major privacy topics and
a section on key developments country by country. A privacy ranking offers
a bird's-eye view of all major developments, and summarizes them
by grading the state of privacy in each state, from the ones which
"consistently uphold human rights standards" (best grade) to the ones where
"endemic surveillance" prevails (lowest grade), going through the states
that have "adequate safeguards against abuse" (satisfactory mark), present a
"systemic failure to uphold safeguards" (insufficient mark), or show signs
of "extensive surveillance" (very poor grade). Key findings then list
countries on a grading scale, such as the "good" ones ("European democracies
(...) in good health", with a "majority of countries having constitutional
protections") or the ones where "heroic" policy advocacy, campaigns or
protests that took place that slowed down or prevented privacy intrusions or
government surveillance.

A special section in the report outlines European NGOs' advocacy work in
each country. Several of EDRi's NGO members have directly contributed to
the success of those advocacy efforts in their respective countries.
Each country report is available in English and translated into the
country's official language(s). Another section provides an extensive list
of privacy resources, country by country.

The EPHR report builds upon the legacy of EPIC & Privacy International's
Privacy & Human Rights survey, in which more than 300 privacy experts from
all over the world have already participated for over a decade, making
this survey one of the world's most comprehensive report on privacy and
data protection.

The "EPHR 2010" report is part of a broader project that comprises, apart
from the publication of the report itself, two other action areas that will
be fully developed over the next six months: the dissemination of the report
on various online platforms, in particular mobile phones, so that people
around Europe can learn, in their own national language, about privacy
developments in their country; but also the development of awareness-raising
campaigns, including three "games" that teach people how to decode web
access logs and IP addresses and tie them to a unique individual, or figure
out which countries' servers their e-mails may have gone through, and may
possibly have been intercepted.

In addition to the research and production team, made up of people from the
Center for Media and Communication Studies at the Central European
University and Privacy International, more than 90 privacy and data
protection experts (privacy advocates, academics, lawyers and policy
experts) from 32 countries all over Europe, contributed with updates from
their respective countires. The European Commission funded the EPHR project
through its "Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Program (2007-2013)".

10. ENDitorial: Internet blocking - EP opts for leadership over populism
============================================================

On 14 February 2011, the Civil Liberties Committee of the European
Parliament (EP) voted on the European Commission's proposal on web blocking.

The European Commission had proposed mandatory EU-wide blocking and limited
safeguards. The approach is populist, simplistic and, by giving Member
States the option to take cosmetic measures to hide their inaction,
profoundly dangerous and counterproductive.

The Committee addressed the issue in numerous debates, from September 2009
until now and held a two-day hearing on the subject to get views from
international institutions, police and law enforcement bodies, child rights
organisations and EDRi, as the sole digital rights voice in the event. As a
result of this extensive analysis, Parliamentarians increasing came to the
conclusion that the issue was more complex and sensitive than it first
appeared.

As a result, under the leadership of rapporteur Roberta Angelilli (EPP,
Italy), the Parliament voted for a text which moved the focus away from
technically inefficient measures and towards concrete tools to fight crimes
against children. Despite bizarre and desperate claims from some quarters
that this approach was somehow paedophile-friendly, the Committee
courageously rejected simplistic lobbying and took a leadership role -
pushing for effective policy across the European Union.

The text also harmonises the approach to existing European Union and
European Convention on Human Rights obligations with regard to restrictions
on communication. This will enable more coherent, predictable and
proportionate approaches in the future on a European level.

The Parliament text of Article 21 and Recital 13 prioritises concrete
measures aimed at addressing the existence of the illegal content on
websites, investigating the actual crimes and the criminals committing them,
as well as rescuing the victims.

It does this specifically by placing the emphasis on:
- removal at source: This measure undermines the same
existence of illegal material, avoiding "all" risks of re-victimisation,
while allowing Internet providers to keep record of content to facilitate
police's criminal investigation and victim identification;

- international cooperation: It is particularly important
to remove the systemic problems in communication and cooperation with third
countries' authorities that lead to illegal content in websites hosted
abroad not being dealt with expeditiously (this cooperation could include,
for example, the setting up of single points of contact for competent
authorities);

- European annual reporting on removal activities: This
will help identify individual success and failures of Member States at a
national and international level, to disseminate best practices and ensure
maximum efforts to prosecute criminals and identify victims.

The Parliament's text will serve to clarify and harmonise the EU's approach
to existing legal obligations on restrictions to communications. In
particular:

- The least restrictive alternative is prioritised, namely, the deletion of
websites. Only when this is impossible can a more restrictive method (such
as blocking) be considered.

- In line with the European Convention on Human Rights,
alternative measures for removal at source (such as blocking) must be
"necessary" (ie, the measure must be effective and no other measure can be
reasonably available taking into account technical and economic feasibility)

- Respecting existing case law of the European Court of
Human Rights, restrictions must be imposed in a predictable (according to
law), transparent (ie, the measure should be based on relevant factors or
sufficient evidence) and proportionate (ie, the negative effects of a
measure should be counter-balanced by its benefits in terms of a legitimate
public policy objective) manner.

\Моск. код/ 742/9/l/9/8 ; ЧЧ5_3968
Программа мероприятия:

  Разъяснения Минфина РФ: 
    
      реализация недвижимости: налог на имущество у продавца и покупателя – очередная точка зрения
      демонтаж основных средств и налог на имущество
      проценты по заемным средствам в стоимости  объекта ОС или в составе прочих расходов: ПБУ 15/2008 или ПБУ 6/01.  
      можно ли первичные документы, документы бухгалтерского и налогового учета для целей исчисления налога на прибыль составлять в электронном виде и заверять электронной цифровой подписью
    
  
  Часть I НК РФ 
    
      Изменен порядок исправления ошибок, приведших в переплате налога. 
      Налоговые органы не имеют права повторно затребовать копии документов, которые были ранее предоставлены налогоплательщиком.
      Налоговые органы несут ответственность за несвоевременную разблокировку счета. При этом проценты за нарушение срока отмены приостановления операций по счетам признаются доходом налогоплательщика
      ФНС РФ разработала рекомендуемую форму сообщения организации о выборе налогового органа для постановки на учет
    
  
  Налог на добавленную стоимость 
    
      Изменение требований к содержанию счетов-фактур
      Счета-фактуры в условных единицах
      Возмещение НДС в заявительном порядке
      На сайте Минфина России размещен перечень банков, которые могут выдать банковскую гарантию для возмещения НДС в заявительном порядке 
        
          Дополнение к перечню операций, не облагаемых НДС:
          реализация коммунальных услуг
          переуступка права требования
          и т. д.
        
      
    
  
  Налог на прибыль 
    
      Определение стоимости материалов, выявленных при инвентаризации
      Учет затрат на НИОКР, давших положительный результат: когда начинается списание
      Затраты на модернизацию основных средств, не признаваемых модернизиуемым имуществом
      Отменено начисление курсовых разниц по валютным авансам: бухгалтерский и налоговых учет совпали
      Дополнительные затраты на обеспечение пожарной безопасности можно учесть в расходах
      Амортизация неотделимых улучшений арендованного имущества – срок амортизации можно совместить со сроком аренды. Позиция НК РФ и разъяснения Минфина РФ
      Проценты признаются в расходах на конец каждого месяца пользования заемными средствами, независимо от даты их перечисления согласно условиям договора
      Смета при признании представительских расходов.
      Страховые взносы с выплат, не включаемых в состав расходов.
    
  
  НДФЛ 
    
      Изменения в составе льгот (ст. 217 НК РФ): о социальных доплатах к пенсиям, единовременной материальной помощи в связи со смертью работника или членов его семьи и материальной помощи при рождении (усыновлении, удочерении) ребенка

  Страховые взносы в ПФ, ФСС, ФФОМС и ТФОМС 
    
      Страховые взносы в ПФР, ФСС, ФОМС учитываются в месяце начисления зарплаты работникам

they follow the rules: laws and constitution.

Growing up, I heard it used a couple of times here locally during severe
weather events. But I don't dispute at all that the tests were more
common than real activations. I'm glad testing of the EAS is a bit less
obtrusive.

Is that stream of emails public accessible somewhere?  If not, why?

It is packaged for Debian, available in untable (Sid) and testing  
(Wheezy).

Being rather new, also as upstream code, it certainly could use some  
actual crash-testing, though:  Please anyone interesting in shipping this 
in future FreedomBoxen strongly consider installing the Debian package 
yourself on your own machines, play with it, and file bugreports about any 
and all issues you run across with it.

I find it odd having you (or anyone - not personal) proxy in the first  
place.

Аренда и лизинг: бухгалтерский учет и налогообложение

Цель обучения: рассматриваются вопросы правового регулирования аренды и лизинга, во взаимосвязи с вопросами бухгалтерского учета и налогообложения операций. Все рекомендации по бухгалтерскому и налоговому учету основаны на судебно-арбитражной практике по спорам, связанным с договорами аренды и лизинга. Участники семинара получат консультации специалистов-практиков. 

Программа мероприятия

 Права и обязанности сторон договора лизинга.
 Бухгалтерский учет у лизингодателя и лизингополучателя: нормативные документы и варианты учетной политики, в том числе по отражению выкупной стоимости:
 имущество на балансе лизингодателя: формирование первоначальной стоимости, порядок начисления амортизации у лизингодателя и лизинговых платежей у лизингополучателя, расчеты по лизинговым платежам, установленным в рублях и в условных единицах;
 имущество на балансе лизингополучателя: отражение операций у лизингодателя и лизингополучателя по передаче имущества на баланс лизингополучателя, формированию доходов у лизингодателя и расходов у лизингодателя, в том числе, если обязательства (требования) по лизинговым платежам выражены в условных единицах.
 Налогообложение лизинговых операций.
 налог на прибыль (формирование первоначальной стоимости лизингового имущества в налоговом учёте; учёт расходов, связанных с доведением лизингового имущества до состояния, пригодного к эксплуатации; порядок признания доходов и расходов; применение повышающего коэффициента при начислении амортизации; выкупная стоимость и варианты ее определения в договоре).
 НДС у лизингодателя и лизингополучателя: отсутствие обязанности выставления счетов-фактур при передаче имущества в лизинг и выставление счетов-фактур в период действия договора-лизинга; вычет НДС у лизингодателя по имуществу, приобретенному для передачи в лизинг, в том числе при возвратном лизинге (позиция налоговых органов и ВАС РФ); вычет НДС у лизингополучателя, в том числе по выкупной стоимости.
 Налог на имущество: какая из сторон договора является плательщиком налога на имущество. Порядок расчета средней и среднегодовой стоимости. Отличия в определении остаточной стоимости в бухгалтерском и налоговом учете; особенности уплаты налога на имущество при наличии обособленных подразделений.
 Арбитражная практика, комментарии.

U.K. Case Reveals Terror Tactics

By ALISTAIR MACDONALD And CASSELL BRYAN-LOW

LONDONbA British Airways PLC employee named Rajib Karim allegedly exchanged
electronic messages with an al Qaeda cleric in Yemen for more than two years,
his activities cloaked by an encrypted fortress he created on a laptop
computer and an external hard drive, prosecutors say.

The sophisticated encryption tactics Mr. Karim allegedly used to shield his
communications with U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlakiband the small
clue he left behind that enabled police forensics teams to defeat thembare
center stage in a high-profile trial here in which Mr. Karim is accused of
preparing for terrorist acts related to his work at the airline and to his
alleged communications with Mr. Awlaki.

The case provides a rare and detailed look at how terror suspects may be able
to communicate surreptitiouslyband how difficult and laborious it is for law
enforcement to crack their codes.

Mr. Karim used layer upon layer of encryption and other techniques to prevent
others from being able to read the messages and access other data stored on
his computer equipment, prosecutors allege.

The encryption is so complex and layered that "I could give an analogy of
Russian dolls," Detective Constable Stephen Ball, the policeman in charge of
the computer forensics in Mr. Karim's case, said in court Thursday.

Mr. Karim, a 31-year-old Bangladeshi national, pleaded guilty in November to
fund-raising for the purposes of terrorism; possessing documents likely to be
of use to a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism; and
engaging in conduct for the preparation of terrorist acts, all charges mainly
related to his association with a banned Bangladeshi terrorist group.

Mr. Karim, who is in custody, is being tried on four counts of engaging in
conduct in preparation of terrorist acts, including providing information
about his employer to others for terrorist purposes.

James Wood, a lawyer for Mr. Karim, told the court that while his client had
committed some offenses, "that which he has admitted is the limit of his
criminal actions." Mr. Wood didn't dispute that Mr. Karim had encrypted the
messages.

Lawyers for Mr. Karim didn't respond to requests to comment for this article.

The methods that terror suspects use to conceal their communications are "a
real problem" for police and intelligence authorities, says Lord Alan West,
who was security adviser to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Other experts
say such problems have been made worse by off-the-shelf software.

Keeping Secrets

Among the steps Rajib Karim allegedly used to encrypt messages:

b" Messages were stored on an external hard drive in files that appeared to
have been created in one kind of program, but in fact used a different type
of program

b" The program used enables each file to run as a separate, password-protected
'virtual hard drive'

b" Text contained in those files also was in scrambled form unless decrypted
with the help of a custom-built software program

b" Messages allegedly contained false names and other coded words

b" Didn't exchange messages as emails, which can be intercepted; instead
uploaded them to publicly available websites that host files

b" Used software to erase some electronic fingerprints from laptop

WSJ research

The previous government had even looked into whether they should make it a
criminal offense for suspects to not hand over decryption codes, Lord West
said.

The time needed to break such codes was one reason the previous British
government under Mr. Brown argued for holding terror suspects for as long as
28 days without charge, Lord West added. The current government of Prime
Minister David Cameron recently reduced this to 14 days.

Upon raiding Mr. Karim's apartment police recovered, among other things, a
laptop and an external hard drive able to store some 320 gigabytes of data,
according to prosecutors. The hard drive held some 35,000 files including
messages with Mr. Karim's brother, with Mr. Awlakiba leader of terror group
al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsulaband with other colleagues, prosecutors say.

Mr. Karim allegedly hid the messages and other data stored on the drive by
changing the suffix at the end of the name of key files, which would
typically tell a computer what program would be needed to open them up. That
included four files labeled "Quran DVD Collection," which appeared to be
compressed files because they took the suffix ".rar," which relates to a type
of software that reduces the size of a file, according to prosecutors.

Mr. Ball said he noted these files were unusually large, and discovered that
they were actually created in a different program, Pretty Good Privacy, which
enabled each file to run as a separate, encryption-protected "virtual hard
drive." Without the correct password, the files were completely
unintelligible.

It's the equivalent of "a safe with a combination," Mr. Ball said in court.
He sent the files to British intelligence services, which returned them
decrypted, or unlocked. Once able to open the files, Mr. Ball testified, he
still wasn't able to read most of the messages contained with them: Mr. Karim
had enciphered the text, leaving it scrambled and unreadable.

Mr. Karim left police a clue, however. On the external hard drive was a
disguised file that looked like it was meant for viewing thumbnail-size
photographsbbut that actually consisted of text with instructions for using a
spreadsheet containing a purpose-built formula to decipher the message,
according to Mr. Ball. The spreadsheet also worked in reverse, enciphering
messages before sending to another member of the group, Mr. Ball said.

Those instructions helped Mr. Ball decrypt the messages and see
thatbaccording to prosecutors' accountbMr. Karim was passing to Mr. Awlaki
information about British Airways' computer and security systems that could
be vitally important for those wishing to conduct a terrorist attack.

Still, it took many more months for the messages to fully come into focus.
There were many spreadsheets on the hard drive, and sometimes numerous
versions of each one. Even once unscrambled, prosecutors allege the messages
contained false names and other coded words, further obscuring their
contents. The names of countries and people, as well as their sex, were
changed, and their movements and activity were discussed as if involved in
business transactions, prosecutors allege.

As an additional layer of protection, prosecutors say, Mr. Karim and his
colleagues didn't exchange their messages as emails, which can be
intercepted. They instead uploaded them to public websites that host files,
where another member of the group could then download them to his or her own
machine.

In a further safeguard, prosecutors allege, Mr. Karim used software to erase
other electronic fingerprints from his laptop, including a program called
"Windows Washer" that effectively deletes traces of Internet browsing history
from the machine.

About 95 EUR in Australia for the Huawei IDEOS (network locked, but
that doesn't matter for mesh networking) which ServalProject.org is
already using as a mesh telephony platform.
We also have PV panels that we can use with them.  The trick at the
moment is that if the phone goes flat, it won't turn back on by
itself; but I am sure some clever person can find a solution to that
problem.

This is particularly valuable if you wish to avoid purposeful
interference which is trying to take your mesh down.

Personally I think that plug computers, mobile phones and more
"ordinary" wifi devices like the VillageTelco.org Mesh Potato together
provide diversity and specialisation to various tasks and
appplications; no one solves all problems.  This is why I am
passionate that ServalProject.org phone software and VillageTelco.org
Mesh Potatoes be interoperable (which they are), and I hope, also that
they will interoperate with what this community generates.  This also
distributes the maintenance and leadership of these platforms further
removing single points of failure.

Paul.
