Writing this at 01:23 AM, please forgive any typos or editing errors. I'm updating the page to clarify that coderman is not bandmon. Thank you for clarifying, coderman. The piratebay torrent is, I believe, made from the zoinks torrent listed in places like [1]https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/liberationtech/2014-September /014344.html [2]http://liberationtech.stanford.narkive.com/arhyVT9j/data-mine-the-sn owden-files-was-open-the-snowden-files#post14 and [3]https://www.reddit.com/r/onions/comments/2afpmi/how_to_obtain_a_cryp tome_archive_courtesy_coderman/ If that torrent isn't based on your release, with a hash of [4]F5763EB5C5FFD8B40B9047CF72350D320A59BDAC, then it may be a different release from yours. If you can check that and let me know, I'll update the post to make sure that it's accurate as far as involving you. (If possible, please check for the files in your own copy of the Cryptome archive. /USB-1.rar/Disk 2/07-Cryptome-org-13-0702-cartome-directory.zip/awstats) Thanks for correcting my mistake, coderman - sorry for incorrectly assuming that you were bandmon. coderman [5]coderman@gmail.com Thu Oct 8 21:42:07 EDT 2015 > It's important to note that the logs were not just found in the USBs John > Young/Cryptome sent to me, but in the ones sent to "bandmon", who unless > I'm mistaken is [6]coderman@gmail.com i'm not sure who bandmon is, but they're not [7]coderman@gmail.com. i would however be amenable to uploading a list of sha-256 digests to verify components of similarity between the torrent and origin. > [8]https://thepiratebay.mn/torrent/11113511/Cryptome_archive_2014-06 -02 > It was my strong preference **not** to post this, but since Cryptome has > refused to validate the data, there is no other way to authenticate it than > to release it to the public along with how to find that information in the > Cryptome USBs/CDs and their various mirrors. actually one may cross reference with their own requests and circuits, for high confidence of legitimacy. i find it apropos to now quote the original disclaimer in full: ''' This is a trap, witting and unwitting.
