I cannot authenticate you and therefore secret communication makes no
sense (and you could be Gordon and messaging to your private key has
same legal consequences as e-mailing directly to you, soliciting you

We* plan to start 3-5 weeks from now.

The event will be a series of 2-hour afternoon/evening sessions, with
computer video projector and a whiteboard. The goal is to enable
typical crypto-illiterate computer users to use PGP and disk encryption
software. CDs with free crypto software will be distributed to those that
swear that they are US subjects (we plan to make it requirement for all
attendees - the aim is to educate, not to challenge laws.)

There will probably be 3 sessions - introduction, demonstration, hands-on
with Q  A.

All suggestions welcome.

Stop pointing your leet hacker death rays at me!

  The HOPE program itself was not leaked, but perhaps will be
  in the future. Mainly what a HOPE-rigged server does is
  conceal a DIRT tracking and reporting bug in deliberately
  publicized documents with snoop-appeal, called dangles,
  to ensnare the unwary and to trace the distribution of the
  dangles as well as to assign an ID to every machine that
  handles the docs.
[...]
  As anonymous noted, a fair amount of the material seems
  designed to exploit the gullible, with a fully panoply of
  security scare stories and promises of products to
  deal with any wet dream of intelligence and law enforcement
  for ballooning budgets and preparing plans for defending
  against imaginary enemies. Pretty well emulating the
  digital security market as if Codex was avidly reading
  this list.

Without dismissing the validity of the leaked code entirely... But an 
interesting proposition. Some quick thoughts on the possible origins and reasons 
for disclosure...

Case 1; the archives are from an old repository of marketing bumph - a directory 
used by, say, Terrance L Knawles as a store for external yet confidential 
documents - press releases, financial reports, fancy slideshows and product 
demos. Possible sources are internal employees disgruntled by the 
company/management that have discovered old material, or morally-justified 
hackers playing Codex at their own game. The former is backed up by the 
reputation and public portrayal of Frank Jones, the latter by the (superficial, 
at least) seeming absence of technical presentation or knowledge in any of the 
witnessed documentation (again, I have not run the executables, so am reluctant 
to comment on them) or associated resources (see website constructed by monkey 
on remote-access riddled Mac server).

Outcome - CDS discredited yet further, world saved.

Case 2; the archives are from an old respository of since-expired and/or 
worthless and/or superceded documents, agreements, reports and programs. To stir 
up some business, CDS (ignoring possible Baiting tactics, although the irony is 
almost unbearable) decides to use the established information dissemination 
network to make DIRT and HOPE household names. After all, people buy things 
simply if they've heard a name before, no matter the context. In addition to 
increased sales and interest, CDS can monitor industry speculation as to current 
technology/possible implementations (of bugs, HOPE, DIRT v3.0, etc) - minimal 
effort RD, effectively.

Outcome - HOPE becomes a reality in some aspects, or under some governments.

Without further, more recent evidence, it is hard to have much faith in case 1.
As a note, the apparent lack of bugs within released docs should not be taken 
for granted in any repetitions. I suspect CDS would have been watching the 
spread of the first lot with interest, bugged or not.
Both technically and politically, little has been gained from the material seen. 
However, one would hope that the cat is partially out of the bag, and that 
material worthy of discussion would be released soon, to fly in the face of the 
powerpoint propaganda. Maybe it's time to dust off my video of Hackers, 
jack-in to the cyberunderground and go hunt some orc.

 The shocking assertion is that a key member of the covert operation
 may have removed, refined and eventually posted weapons-grade anthrax
 which killed five people.

 In the wake of Sept 11th, the anthrax attacks caused panic throughout

Somehow I can't escape the feeling that you're taking the parasite analogy
a bit too seriously. Especially in the context of fractional-reserve
banking -- the problems I see with that system boil down to:

 -government licencing of banking operations, limiting competition and
  efficiency
 -the shedding of risks to central banks or inadequate knowledge of the
  risks on behalf of the depositors, inviting malinvestment
 -inadequate propagation of information on actual risks when loans are
  reinvested as deposits, again a cause for malinvestment

If depositors are fully aware of the risks they're taking, and actually
have to carry them, I see no reason why deposits couldn't be seen as a
straight-forward extension of other means of investment. In such
conditions, I'd say fractional-reserve free banking is *quite* possible,
and certainly shouldn't be equated with parasitism. Rather, it seems more
like an eminently usable hybrid of private investment and insurance.

NSW net censorship It is just not going to work.

2002-03-18 Thread matthew X

Public eyes censorship plans
Karen Dearne
MARCH 13, 2002
NSW plans to censor the internet have been under scrutiny during two days 
of public hearings in Sydney.
The Standing Committee on Social Issues is inquiring into whether the 
Classification Enforcement Amendment Bill provides an effective and 
enforceable way to regulate online material.
But a number of industry and consumer groups warned that the proposed 
legislation discriminates against material published online and was 
unworkable.
Australian Computer Society vice-president Phillip Argy said the NSW 
legislation went much further than the federal model legislation.
This criminally prohibits the making available of matter that would be 
classified as objectionable or unsuitable for minors, basically without 
exception, Mr Argy said.
It's like saying, you cannot make this material available to adults in NSW 
in case children get to see it.
Electronic Frontiers Australia executive director Irene Graham said the 
Bill tried to force internet content into a regime designed for the 
commercial sale and distribution of movies, videos and games.
The internet is not a movie, it is not a computer game and it is nothing 
like television, she said. It is just not going to work.
The legislation treated people using the internet quite differently, less 
fairly and less justly under criminal law than that applicable to speech 
and distribution of information offline.
There is a vast amount of material that this Bill can catch, she said.
This is going to cover actual discussions in chatrooms and on email lists.
We are especially concerned about what is, in effect, a complete ban on 
information that would be classified as 'R' rating.
Office of Film and Literature Classification director Des Clark said he was 
unaware of any censorship board anywhere having regulated the internet.
He agreed that such legislation would be ground-breaking. Computer games 
were not widely regulated worldwide, he said, but they are in Australia.
Arts Law Centre of Australia legal officer Elizabeth Beal was concerned 
that an authorised officer could deem content offensive and issue a 
penalty notice, given the complexity and subjective nature of censorship 
matters.
Although a defendant issued with one of these notices can elect to go to 
court, that involves considerable inconvenience and cost to obtain advice, 
not to mention fear and humiliation, she said.
Internet Industry Association chief executive Peter Coroneos said the IIA 
was totally committed to helping families manage internet content so that 
children were not exposed to inappropriate material.
But in the case of pornography, where so much of the material is created 
and posted by people outside Australia, passing legislation will do nothing 
more than show the community you are concerned about the issue, he said.
The hearings took place last week. The committee is due to report to the 
NSW Parliament by June 7. FROM

Indian government closes down cellphone messaging for rioters

 Friday in Mumbai_ the financial center of India_ the Press
 Trust of India (PTI) reported_ quoting Joint Commissioner
 of Police (law and order) V.N. Deshmukh.

 As a result_ the local cellphone networks were asked to
 disable their SMS service during the day to help reduce
 social unrest. The SMS service in the city was shut down
 following a directive received from police commissioner
 M.N. Singh_ which blamed malcontents for using the SMS
 service to arrange illegal demonstrations. Both Orange and
 BPL Mobile blocked their SMS service from 11.30 am to 6 pm_
 although it is not clear if MTNL complied with the
 instruction. No users within the Mumbai license area were
 able to receive or send SMS's during the day and any
 attempt got an error message. BPL Mobile did send out a
 broadcast message to its subscribers warning them of the
 block however.

 There is ethic unrest in the city between Hindus and
 Muslims over plans to build a Hindu temple on the site of a

For those who *don't* know, and it seems like there a lot who don't these
days, Lance Detweiller is a famous net.loon, then from Colorado, who
infested the cypherpunk list in its early years with paranoiac screeds
about evils of anonymity and pseudonymity. He was more or less kicked off
the list by court-order -- we'll pause here for the irony impaired to get
the joke -- in 1994/5 or so. Googling cypherpunks and detweiller will
keep you entertained, or at least emeticized, for hours.

Now, Lance, in his current guise as vznuri (V.Z. Nuri = visionary, get
it?  hyuk!, or, as Lance would put it, tee hee), uncorks a screed on
money and the evils of fractional reserve banking. He also seems to throw
in a gas-law or two, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Labor Theory of
Value is in there somewhere, for good measure.

I would have missed it because I've killfiled him, but Leitl zinged it to
the cpunx-news list, and I'm a sucker for punishment, I guess.

At least he had the sense to put it in pdf and stick it on the web. In the
old days, he'd have zinged the whole damn thing to cypherpunks, or
someplace. ;-).

It makes me wonder what Washington University in St. Louis has come to

know:
 It takes place around 10 years after Episode I.
 Anakin and Padme begin to develop their relationship.
 We discover more about Padme's family and background.
 Anakin returns to Tatooine and meets up with Shmi, Watto, Owen Lars, and
Beru Lars.
 We learn the origin of Boba Fett and Stormtroopers.
 Episode II reveals information about the Clone Wars mentioned in A New

 The film is darker than Episode I and is closer to The Empire Strikes Back.

ARMY CHOOSES MIT TO HELP CREATE
THE NEW, NANO-EQUIPPED U.S. SOLDIER

By Candace Stuart
Small Times Senior Writer
March 13, 2002 – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a research 
university with small tech expertise and a history of developing 
technologies for the military, will receive $10 million annually for the 
next five years to turn nanotechnology into useful products for the United 
States Army.

The U.S. Army selected MIT on Wednesday to create the Institute for Soldier 
Nanotechnologies (INS). The university-affiliated research center will 
focus on potential military applications ranging from lightweight, 
bulletproof uniforms to wearable health-monitoring sensors. The award 
allows MIT, based in Cambridge, Mass., to collaborate with industrial 
partners such as DuPont and Raytheon Co. as well as physicians from 
Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

How to deal with Jack Valenti

2002-03-18 Thread keyser-soze

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, here's a reminder that one of Ireland's
other patron saints, Saint Columba, may have pioneered the anti-copyright
movement way back in the sixth century (A.D. 555, to be exact):


 St. Columba had borrowed from the monk a fine manuscript of the
Gospels, and Columba had made a copy of the borrowed book, before returning
it.  The monk claimed the copy also as his; the saint disputed this.  His
argument in defence reads not unlike the defence made by modern infringers
of copyright:  I confess that the book in question was copied from the
manuscript of Finnen.  But it was with my own industry and toil and burning
of the midnight oil.  And it was copied with such care that Finnen's
manuscript is in no way injured by the act of copying.  Moreover, my object
was to preserve more surely the best parts of the book and employ them for
the greater glory of God.  Hence I do not admit that I have done any injury
to Finnen; nor am liable for restitution, nor am at fault in any way.  But
Dermot, the judge, as manuscripts were then new in Ireland, had no exact
precedent, and he cast about for the nearest analogy.  He found the Brehon
maxim, With every cow goes its calf, Le cach boin a boinin; and so his
judgment was in favor of the monk, because Le cach lebar a lebran, With
every book goes the young of the book. (But the saint, it is recorded, was
very angry at this judgment, invoked the power of a rival chieftain against
Dermot, and thrashed him well in battle.)  [Wigmore, John H., _A Panorama of
the World's Legal Systems_, Washington DC, 1936, p. 677]

Worldwide Caution - Public Announcement
March 17, 2002

The U.S. Government continues to receive credible reports that extremist
individuals are planning additional terrorist actions against U.S.
interests. Such actions may be imminent and include suicide operations. We
have no further information on specific targets, timing or method of attack.
We remind American citizens to remain vigilant with regard to their personal
security and to exercise caution.

Terrorist groups do not distinguish between official and civilian targets.
The March 17 attack on worshippers at the Protestant International Church in
Islamabad underlines the growing possibility that as security is increased
at official U.S. facilities, terrorists and their sympathizers will seek
softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans are generally
known to congregate or visit, such as clubs, restaurants, places of worship,
schools or outdoor recreation events. Americans should increase their
security awareness when they are at such locations, avoid them, or switch to
other locations where Americans in large numbers generally do not
congregate. American citizens may be targeted for kidnapping. In late
January 2002, an American journalist was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan.

U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert.
These facilities may on occasion temporarily close or suspend public
services to review their security posture and ensure its adequacy. In those
instances, U.S. Embassies and Consulates will make every effort to provide
emergency services to American citizens. Americans are urged to monitor the
local news and maintain contact with the nearest American Embassy or
Consulate.

The Department will continue to develop information about potential threats
to Americans overseas and to share with them credible threat information
through its Consular Information Program documents. These documents are
available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to
information on the Internet, U.S. travelers may hear recorded information by
calling the Department of State in Washington, D.C. at 202-647-5225 from
their touch-tone telephone, or receive information by automated telefax by
dialing 202-647-3000 from their fax machine.

This Public Announcement - Worldwide Caution supersedes the previous
Worldwide Caution of February 1, 2002 to note the imminent threat of
terrorist actions which may target civilians and include suicide operations.
This Public Announcement - Worldwide Caution expires on August 17, 2002.

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Re: fractional reserve banking as economic parasitism

2002-03-18 Thread vznuri

hi mr syreeni

if you take a look at the paper, I cover the situations
you refer to, namely free market competition of banks
 why it is not very workable. its true I am taking the parasite analogy
quite far  few are likely to take it very seriously.
I dont really expect anyone to pay much attn to the paper
in the short run (humans are like that..).

re: your response,
the problem is that banking is not a free market activity
in the sense that depositors demand government bailouts
if their funds are lost due to too much of a gamble
on the reserves by banks. i.e. everyone pays. this can take
international scale proportions with e.g. world bank or
IMF. (re stiglitz accusations) 

not to rain on the libertarian parade, but imho this is one area that
free market competition does not seem to work. it just seems
to turn into competition for corruption, re: history of
wildcat banks in the US.

I disagree that inadequate propagation of information about risks
has much to do with the problem at all. the public puts
money in a bank not as a speculative activity but typically as
a deposit for safekeeping.

another problem, as I show in the paper, a bank that debases
its own currency into a larger system is actually leveraging
against all money holders in the economy, even those who do not involve
themselves with that bank. gresham's law which I give some
mathematical formulas for.

as for fractional reserve banking, I dont think bankers
actually understand the econophysics of it. mathematical
analysis has never really been done from the angle I pursue.

Somehow I can't escape the feeling that you're taking the parasite analogy
a bit too seriously. Especially in the context of fractional-reserve
banking -- the problems I see with that system boil down to:

 -government licencing of banking operations, limiting competition and
  efficiency
 -the shedding of risks to central banks or inadequate knowledge of the
  risks on behalf of the depositors, inviting malinvestment
 -inadequate propagation of information on actual risks when loans are
  reinvested as deposits, again a cause for malinvestment

If depositors are fully aware of the risks they're taking, and actually
have to carry them, I see no reason why deposits couldn't be seen as a
straight-forward extension of other means of investment. In such
conditions, I'd say fractional-reserve free banking is *quite* possible,
and certainly shouldn't be equated with parasitism. Rather, it seems more
like an eminently usable hybrid of private investment and insurance.

A story about a successful wholesale mortgage lender

2002-03-18 Thread Askcredit

A mid-sized wholesale mortgage lender based in California recently incorporated 
Askcredit’s automatic underwriting technology on it’s web-site to provide it’s brokers 
with a complete underwriting decision service that is available 24-7 to it’s brokers.  
 The system processes an applicant’s credit and 1003 information against all 
proprietary program guidelines and renders a decision within 30 seconds.  It also has 
the ability to offer your brokers with optimized pricing and program recommendations 
based on the applicant’s background.  This feature is saving both lenders and brokers 
significant costs in training and eliminating the need to memorize new program 
guidelines and changes.
Askcredit’s system comes standard with a credit connectivity feature with reduced 
prices on credit reports($10.00 for tri-merge w/ FICO).  Using Askcredit’s system, 
this California lender also offers additional discounts on credit reports to it’s 
brokers.  The result?  This lender has become the first choice for many brokers and is 
attracting new brokers to sign up.

The Cost?  Minimal. Credit Reports are included in our prices - a little more than 
what you are already paying for in credit reports alone.

(old note contd.) lotus-notes NSA key as PGP key

2002-03-18 Thread Adam Back

I was looking for a file in my collection of archived stuff recently
and came across my attempts to reverse engineer the NSA's RSA public
key out of lotus notes.  I think I never did publicly post the RSA key
that I found.

So here it is as a PGP key, the name associated with this key in Lotus
Notes visible under the debugger was:

O=MiniTruth CN=Big Brother 

where O is X.500 naming for Organization, and CN for Common Name (the
key owners name).

The PGP key is:

Type Bits/KeyIDDate   User ID
pub   760/13629D8D 1998/10/25 Director, NSA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-

ma7OpacD79MTYp2NAAIDtB5EaXJlY3RvciwgTlNBIDxkaXJuc2FAbnNhLmdvdj4=
=aoSi
-END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-

It's a 760 bit RSA key with a public exponent of 3.

I found it a little odd that it was 760 bits rather than 768 bits, but
I think I got the endianness and encoding right as the number is not
trivially factorizable (I left a computer running pollard-rho for a
few weeks at the time and didn't come up with anything).  One possible
explanation for 760 bits rather than 768 bits is the 768 bit 32 bit
aligned area of memory ended with with a 0 byte, and ASN.1 encoding
for big integers is to include a leading 0 if the most significant bit
of the number is otherwise a 1 (to prevent it being considered a
negative number).  I know it's not prime as it fails primality checks,
but I think it's fairly unlikely is that a randomly chosen number (if
there is a mistake in the reverse engineering or interpretation of the
encoding) would be both composite and that hard to factor.

More details about the key at:

http://www.cypherspace.org/adam/hacks/lotus-nsa-key.html

(A quick google shows that this was probably originally reported
around Sep 99.)

I wonder how many copies of export versions of lotus notes and
similarly us export weakened products are still being used unknowingly
by users.

Actually the CDR has been very effective at keeping anybody from deciding
who can and can't participate. Especially things like the list operator
creating alternate lists and moderation policies at their liesure.

Yeah, no policy change at all...

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...

help the list,forwarding his post back to him can do a much better 
job,that way he has to keep a kill file.

Re: fractional reserve banking as economic parasitism

I wandered lonely as a clone...Title :Star War Episode 2 - Attack of the
Clones
Genre :Dramas, Science-Fiction  Fantasy
MPAA Rating :Not Rated
Theatrical Release :May 22, 2002
Release Company :20th Century Fox

The plot of Episode II is a secret. Not a well kept one, but still a
secret. If you're avoiding spoilers, here's the most you probably want to
know:
 It takes place around 10 years after Episode I.
 Anakin and Padme begin to develop their relationship.
 We discover more about Padme's family and background.
 Anakin returns to Tatooine and meets up with Shmi, Watto, Owen Lars, and
Beru Lars.
 We learn the origin of Boba Fett and Stormtroopers.
 Episode II reveals information about the Clone Wars mentioned in A New
Hope.
 The film is darker than Episode I and is closer to The Empire Strikes Back.
