The back door is a *feature*, not a bug, right?

For instance, this company is quite proud of their back door technology,
and are openly selling access to it:  https://www.absolute.com/en/

According to their knowledgeable and courteous salesman, whom I once
chanced to meet, use cases for the back door include locating and
recovering stolen corporate laptops.

Re: who are the right people?

2017-05-01 Thread Ryan Carboni
Maybe. Maybe not.

But regardless of who is moonlighting for whom, even if it is entirely
unpaid and inadvertent (which beggars some disbelief), this was a top
picture shared on many social media outlets:
https://i.redd.it/m2qtwn72m7ny.png

Not shown by the mainstream media though.

Who decides for you what to think? Whoever it is, doesn't seem very
trustworthy right now.


Here's a simple law that congress could add that would decuple security:
"copyright is voided for software two years after the end of life, or if
after one year a critical vulnerability is unpatched"
Well, lawyers could go through it and convert it into legalcode for the
judicial architecture to parse.

Personally I am very much in favor of allowing free reverse engineering of
DOS and early Windows products.

Regardless, the most important use of non-government encryption is the
protection of trade secrets (hence the design of portable offline cipher
machines up to the late eighties). The rights of poor people never go into
the calculus of the powerful or the free market.

For some reason, this calculus currently seems to also exclude national
advantage. Everyone is hacking each other, but no one seems to really...
care?

Conclusions are hard to come by in this world for some reason.

What would it take to convince you that your world view was entirely wrong?

What world view could possibly fit the current four-dimensional model of
the world?

How hard would it be to reorient the current network of nonprofits in favor
of privacy to well... improve privacy? Design open source products that are
as secure as an iPhone? How hard is it to see that there's something
seriously wrong with the world?

Yeah, obvious.

Just as well they kept their work hidden until after it got exposed

Another useful quote from SemiAccurate:

| The short version is that every Intel platform with AMT, ISM, and
| SBT from Nehalem in 2008 to Kaby Lake in 2017 has a remotely
| exploitable security hole in the ME (Management Engine) not CPU
| firmware. If this isn’t scary enough news, even if your machine

| just not over the network. For the moment. From what SemiAccurate
| gathers, there is literally no Intel box made in the last 9+ years
| that isn’t at risk. This is somewhere between nightmarish and
| apocalyptic.[/QUOTE]

According to Intel:

| There is an escalation of privilege vulnerability in Intel® Active
| Management Technology (AMT), Intel® Standard Manageability (ISM),
| and Intel® Small Business Technology versions firmware versions
| 6.x, 7.x, 8.x 9.x, 10.x, 11.0, 11.5, and 11.6 that can allow an

It was May Day centuries before USians tried to call it Labour (or Loyalty)
day, so May Day is still correct (unless you're in the US, then it's

But in 1958 he proclaimed 1 May to be "Law Day", so it could also be Law

Warner in particular, are very keen on monitoring torrents, and pay various
third parties to monitor swarms and extract IP addresses of anyone sharing
their content. The third party contractors then look at who owns the
relevant block, and sends a notification to that ISP (it's normally
automated).

It's less likely to be because AOL was upstream than it is simply a product
of the fact that Warner are absolutely shit-hot on trying to keep on top of
their content being shared (for all the good it does).

They don't notice and catch everyone, but IME they've got a far better
detection rate than other publishers.

All I know is that the computer lab for seniors I was volunteering at,
which utilizes a local ISP, was notified that SOMEONE using their
services had torrented a Warner content file. I assume the upstream
provider for the local ISP is AOL which would explain why the only time
we were ever notified about a 'torrentviolator' was in regard to Warner
content, a music video which could have just as easily been downloaded
from YouTube direct using Jdownloader or similar.

It's fucking Loyalty Day.

Loyalty Day.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day
President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1955, the first
observance of Loyalty Day.""

Loyalty Day is defined as follows in 36 U.S.C. § 115:

(a) Designation - May 1 is Loyalty Day.
(b) Purpose - Loyalty Day is a special day for the
reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States
and for the recognition of the heritage of
American freedom.
 (c) Proclamation - The President is requested to
issue a proclamation:

(1) calling on United States Government officials
to display the flag of the United States on
all Government buildings on Loyalty Day; and
(2) inviting the people of the United States to
observe Loyalty Day with appropriate ceremonies
in schools and other suitable places.

A much more economical attack where seed boxes operated by hostile
parties record IP addresses of connecting users was the dominant
torrent surveillance model for a long time.  Typically, a comically
self-mutilating corporation (thou shalt not promote our product to a
wide audience at no cost to us) would provide a contractor with a list

John McAfee, with the help of MGT [0], is building a "truly private 
smartphone". Nigger added switches on the back to physically disconnect the 
battery, camera, and microphone, as well as the antennas for WiFi, Bluetooth, & 
geolocation. No speaker switch, tho.

With articles titled 'John McAfee’s ‘hack-proof’ phone is doomed to fail' it 
seems this fucker is headed down the correct path.

Some quotes from the lungenpresse:
>> None of this sounds like it’ll make a meaningful difference for users.""
>> Hardware isn’t the problem when it comes to mobile privacy.""
>> Privacy-focused hardware just isn’t that good of a business.""
>> The market is already saturated with privacy phone failures.""

Lol, these pozzed faggots can into journalism.

Hardware has everything to do with security, software has everything to do with 
insecurity.”"

A few years ago *someone* took an axe or some such to a fiber optic
bundle in the SF Bay area and killed the internet for all the bay area
south to Salinas. This is exactly what is NOT supposed to happen. Right?

I don't think there's been a decentralized Internet since AOL first
appeared. But it works... For them. Now days Warner, part of AOL Time
Warner, seems to sniff all torrent packets going through their portals
for Warner content and notifies downstream admins.

But about piratebay  https://twitter.com/ioerror/status/561583278319501313

BTW, the .org site is easliy reachable this morning from my location. I
had been using the .red mirror b/c the .org site was 'down' all the time.

Those who have ever had such a problem, try new model of master which
sports generational garbage collection. I have read they can do it in
a blink nowadays, without anybody noticing anything, unless they were
looking very carefully for signs.

Yet, they haven't "self-organized" to come together and FIX the
problem in their own self-interest, have they?  So there either is an
error in the analysis or there is some EXISTENTIALLY OTHER force that
prevents it that is not of this world --otherwise they would come
together and knock it down.  But because of it's other-dimensional
nature, it is completley "invisibile" to them or unfamiliar, and don't
know how to approach the problem.
