Taking into consideration the mean of observations made at divers times -- rejecting the timid estimate of those who assigned to this object a length of two hundred feet, equally with the exaggerated opinions which set it down as a mile in width and three in length -- we might fairly conclude that this mysterious being surpassed greatly all dimensions admitted by the learned ones of the day, if it existed at all? He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States: It is certain that I soon came to, thanks to the vigorous rubbings that I received!!

1. Thanks Declan for pruning my beliefs  ---I had actually thought the
younger, stupider, more surrounded by idiots Bush had puked that quote
re Athiests not being 'Merikans.  But Googling and your 0-ROI investment

in Lexis-Nexus shows that stupidity is heriditary.  But this is why you
are
an investigative reporter and I a rube.  Bush the Elder it shall be.

2. I asked my dad, who has similar L-N access, about my current manager,

and managed to find that he had had 2 different SSNs (and what they
were)
as well as where he had lived the last 10 or so years.

Other than lying to a hospital to get past HIPAA I have never in four
decades
been a social engineer.  Always good to have something to ask the boss
from
the don't export here country :-)

3. The UPTSO informed me similarly, if not so exploitably, about a
productive
colleage next 'cube over.  Employer, place of residence, year.

4. It amuses me that my last 2 crypto bosses have both been born in the
do not export here list of political tiles...

5. Science vol 304 25 June 2004 pp1896-1897 documents a physicists
retreat
wherein the weirdness of quantum physics was discussed.

5.1 Us hidden variable types still keep the faith amongst respiring
physicists.

5.2 It may be possible in 20 years (tm) to prove that you can't build
a 128 programmable qbit machine; or as some of the more paranoid
amongst us worry about,  an existence proof may exist.  Depending
on your understanding of decoherence.  If its exponentially harder to
run quantum computation for bigger problems the 'tographers would
have beaten the 'analysts yet again.

But that's way over my head.

Well after over a decade of learning and teaching on cypherpunks and
Perry's cryptography list, and before that comp.risks, reading
Cryptogram, scanning bugtraq until I got bored of yet another buffer
overflow or MS legacy hack, accumulating a row of crypto books, and zero
professional certs or classes, but interacting with a hardcore privacy
friend, I'm now employed as a security consultant at a Big Company, at
least for a month or two.
No govt clearances required, of course.

And let me tell you, things are really hilarious out there.  Eg the same
fixed
key in every machine everywhere, and in every driver.  And my future
boss proposing a million fixed keys to make it harder, where you send
the index.  A million times more hilarious.

One day interviewing, wearing a visitor badge, I hear two
building-security people
yell a building-access password to each other.  Furthermore its a lame
password.  My future boss was amused at that bit of accidental social
engineering and he pointed out that the security company manages several

other companies, so the regexp (based on the company name) used for this

building was probably extrapolatable to other companies.

Humans are such silly critters.

Dear Friend. 

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone 
will die someday. My name is CHRISTOPHER HADIM, a merchant in Dubai, in the 
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all forms of 
medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to 
medical experts. 
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not 
even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always 
hostile to people and only 
focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all 
this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all 
the money in the world. 
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life 
a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed 
and given most of my property 
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. 
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to 
charity 
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, 
I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and 
Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, 
I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my 
accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in 
Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. 
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have 
left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of 
eighteen million united states dollars 
USD$18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you 
to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.


I have set aside 20% for you and for your time.

Dear Sir,
My names are  Mac  Johnson  Bonida, I am the inmediate

tored country of Liberia-westAfrica, the wife of (Mr
Charles Taylor) president of Liberia.
After a peace deal in Ghana few weeks ago, my sister
called me for introduction of what need to be done
inmediately that her properties are no longer safe. He
asked me to meet her contact in Ivory Coast to arrange
my journey to Eruope. She said  that she had made
contact with a  Security company to move a truck box
containing $30,000,000.00 US Dollars,  Thirty  Million
United State Dollars Only, and that the security
company label the box which the funds are contained in
as a box containing Africa artifacts.
The Company has confirmed the arrival of  this
consignment in their  office in Netherlands.
I left for Ivory-Coast  for my journey to Europe and
at this moment I am in Netherlands but owing to what
is happening in my country this time, my sister can
not do nothing as to Claim the Consignment and she
want this deal to be a confidential transaction, so
she asked me to contact any partner  who could stand
as a beneficiary of this truck box, so that after the
beneficiary must have claimed the box the money will
be channeled into good business investments with low
risk.
She has agreed to give 10% of the total fund to you
for assistance and moving of the fund to your private
account in your country for the purpose of the
investment. While 5% of the total fund will cover your
expense during this transaction, and another 5% for
me. You can contact me if you are interested by my
e-mail address or kindly call me on this Netherlands
telephone number, .
I would be glad if you can help me out to complete
this transcation and transfer this fund into your
private account. Please endeavour to keep this
transaction as confidentail as much as possible
because my Sister and her husband is in trouble over
the war in my country-Liberia.

2003-10-18 Thread MR JANG DOO-HWAN
Dear Friend,

My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of Mr. CHUN
DOO-HWAN, the former President of South Korea who
seized power in a military coup in 1979 and who ruled
from 1979 to 1987. My brother was pushed out of office
and charged with treason, corruption and embezzlement
of over 21 billion won. He was wrongly sentenced to
death but fortunately AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in
and commuted the sentence to life. We thank God that
he has finally been released though still under house
arrest in the sense of the conditions of his freedom.

During my brother's regime as president of South
Korea, we realized some reasonable amount of money
from various deals that we successfully executed. I
have plans to invest this money for my children’s
future in real estate and industrial production.

Before my brother was overthrown, I secretly
siphoned the sum of $20,000,000.00 Million USD (Twenty
Million United States dollars) out of Seoul and
deposited the money with a Security Firm that
transports valuable goods and consignments through
diplomatic means.

I am contacting you because I want you to deal with
the Security Firm and claim the money on my behalf
since I have declared that the consignment belong to
my Foreign Business Partner. You shall also be
required to assist me in investments in your country.
I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will
not sit on this money when you claim it, rather you
would assist me properly.

I intend to give you 20% of the total money if you can
assist me claim these from the security company.When I
receive your positive response I will let you know where
the Security Firm is and the Payment Pin Code to claim
the money which is very important. What I need is for you
to indicate your interest that you will assist me by
receiving the money on my behalf in Europe. For this, you
shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the money.
The project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend
to carry out our proposed investments in your country, is
presently in the custody of a Diplomatic Courier Service Company
in Europe.

I cannot do this myself because I am presently living
in a Western European Country and my Status here is
that of a Political Refugee and moreover I do not want
the Government of my Country to know about
the money because they will believe I got the money
from my brother while he was still in office as
President. Once you confirm the receipt of the money,
I would leave where I am presently located and come
over with my Children to your Country to start a new
life with my Family.

As soon as payment is effected, and the amount
mentioned above is successfully transferred into your

some estates in your country. For this purpose also,
you shall be my project manager for the properties I
hope to acquire in your country and you will be paid
based on a certain percentage agreed upon by both of
us.

For now, let all our communication be by e-mail
because of the nature of this transaction but for more
details on this transaction you can contact my lawyer
(Bar Harry Fenadez) on this tel number 0031-630-674-930.
It is very important you contact him because he will be
the one to represent me in all legal matters to back this
pending transaction since i cannot move at the momemt.

Please send me your Telephone and Fax numbers as it
would be better for me to get to you now by any of
this means. This would be for our better peace of mind
before and after these funds are transferred into your
account.

The reason why it took this long to get to you was
because of the Security Firm's agreement with me which
was that my brother must personally sign the Power of
Attorney that would transfer title to the prospective
beneficiary. It was a long wait but it has now paid
off. His excellency, Chun Doo-Hwan does not want to be
personally involved for security and personal reasons.

Your quick response will be highly appreciated. Thank
you in anticipation of your cooperation.

Dear Friend,
My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of Mr. CHUN
DOO-HWAN, the former President of South Korea who
seized power in a military coup in 1979 and who ruled
from 1979 to 1987. My brother was pushed out of office
and charged with treason, corruption and embezzlement
of over 21 billion won. He was wrongly sentenced to
death but fortunately AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in
and commuted the sentence to life. We thank God that
he has finally been released though still under house
arrest in the sense of the conditions of his freedom.
During my brother's regime as president of South
Korea, we realized some reasonable amount of money
from various deals that we successfully executed. I
have plans to invest this money for my children’s
future in real estate and industrial production.
Before my brother was overthrown, I secretly
siphoned the sum of $20,000,000.00 Million USD (Twenty
Million United States dollars) out of Seoul and
deposited the money with a Security Firm that
transports valuable goods and consignments through
diplomatic means.
I am contacting you because I want you to deal with
the Security Firm and claim the money on my behalf
since I have declared that the consignment belong to
my Foreign Business Partner. You shall also be
required to assist me in investments in your country.
I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will
not sit on this money when you claim it, rather you
would assist me properly.
I intend to give you 20% of the total money if you can
assist me claim these from the security company.When I
receive your positive response I will let you know where
the Security Firm is and the Payment Pin Code to claim
the money which is very important. What I need is for you
to indicate your interest that you will assist me by
receiving the money on my behalf in Europe. For this, you
shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the money.
The project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend
to carry out our proposed investments in your country, is
presently in the custody of a Diplomatic Courier Service Company
in Europe.
I cannot do this myself because I am presently living
in a Western European Country and my Status here is
that of a Political Refugee and moreover I do not want
the Government of my Country to know about
the money because they will believe I got the money
from my brother while he was still in office as
President. Once you confirm the receipt of the money,
I would leave where I am presently located and come
over with my Children to your Country to start a new
life with my Family.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount

FROM-ALEX NZWETEMA.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

  OUR HOPE IS ON YOU.
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know me 
personally.I am MR. ALEX NZWETEMA the first son of MR.NZWETEMA KONYENE who was 
murdered along with other oppositions by my government on 19th november 2002.I got 
your contact from the information desk of a very reliable source hence I have decided 
to contact you for your
assistance.
   Before the death of my father,he has deposited the sum of Five millions Seven 
hundred and fifty thousand united states dollars($5,700,000)in a security and finance 
firm here in Amsterdam the Netherlands.For security reasons this money was deposited 
as precious stones pending the cessation of violence that plagued my country due to 
the introduction of land reform decree act by the authority of president Robert mugabe 
.
 My father set this money aside for the purchase of modern equipment for a full 
mechanized farming.He had planned an expansion of his farms fully equipped with modern 
tools due to the high product demands from his then registered farm products 
distributors.
   He could not realize this project due to his death in the hands of enemies.After 
the death of my father,we became apparent target and constant death threats hence the 
urgent need for an immediate secret relocation.We were helped out by a government 
insider who saw the urgent need for our safety from the hands of would be assassins.He 
arranged a secret exit for us into the Netherlands where we have currently sought a 
political asylum.
With our current status here as refugees,we are under a strict restriction from 
any financial transaction of any sort and as the first son in the family,I am now 
faced with the burden of how to secure and the investment of this fund.For this reason 
I have decided to seek the assistance of a company or a genuine and honest individual 
who could provide us with a foreign account where this fund can be deposited without 
the knowledge of my government.You should also bear in mind that the sole 
responsibility of investing this funds lies solely in your hands since we are barred 
from any form of investment under our current status.
What myself and my mother need you to do now is to come to Amsterdam the 
Netherlands to open a non resident account where this fund could be transferred and to 
assist us to secure the release of the deposit fro the company. This is all we have in 
our life hence the need for absolute confidentiality throughout this process.
   For your assistance you would need to choose between two options,you might choose 
for a certain percentage of the total sum for providing an account or go into a 
partnership with us.
We have also set aside 5% of the total sum for any expenses that might be incurred in 
course of this transaction.Should you choose to have a certain percentage,we would be 
willing to give you 20% and the remaining 75% meant for the family would be invested 
in your country.
Please let me know what your options are through the above email address.You may 
also include any other information you might want me to have like your confidential 
fax and telephone numbers fore more talks.Please keep this as strictly confidential 
for the interest of myself and my mother.
Your urgent response would be appreciated.
Thanks and God bless.

Good Day,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings,
and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will
be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me
since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this
transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a
person of integrity.
My name is Wolny Olkusz, the first son of Paul Olkusz,
of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered
in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict,
I decided to contact you through email, after searching
for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means
I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with
Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons.
However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The
purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed
assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and
political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President
Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly
affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black
farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my
father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe.
Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business
foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in
major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit
the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred
thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This
money was deposited with this Private Security company for
safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the
purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment
of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent
Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the
murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives.
I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from
my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but
when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder
attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the
Holland where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my
decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security
company from South Africa, has a branch holland and they
have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here.
I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part
of the money. Since the law of Netherland prohibits a refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved
in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a
genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can
be transferred, hence this proposal to you.You have to
understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future
and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money.
If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is
to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the
security company from their office in Netherlands,
as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Africa
to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you
representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you.
Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your
assistance, and helping me open an account for the money
to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with
me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I
have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of
expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4%
($580,000,00) for Charity donation.
If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting with opening an
account,
then 85%will be left in the account here for me. Please, I want
you
maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction.
I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you
in
advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on my
direct line which is +31-630-854-650 or via email,

Sincerely,
Wolny  Olkusz

Dear Friend. 

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for 
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. 

My name is JOSEPH HADIM, a merchant in Dubai, in the 
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now 
I have only about a few 
months to live, according to medical experts. 

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I 
never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my 
business. Though I am very rich, I was never 
generous, I was always hostile to people and only 
focused on my business as that was the only thing I 
cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know 
that there is more to life than just wanting to have 
or make all the money in the world. 

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come 
to this world I would live my life a different way 
from how I have lived it. Now that God  has called 
me, I have willed and given most of my property 
and assets to my immediate and extended family 
members as well as a few close friends. 

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul 
so, I have decided to give alms to charity 
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last 
good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed 
money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, 
Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has 
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself 
anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one 
of my accounts and distribute the money which I have 
there to charity organization in Bulgaria and 
Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to 
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as 
they seem not to be contended with what I have left 
for them. 

The last of my money which no one knows of is the 
huge cash deposit of twenty four million dollars 
$24,000,000,that I have with a finance/Security Company 
abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit 
and dispatched it to charity organizations.


I have set aside 20% for you and for your time.

God be with you.

Mr. Charles Morris

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Attn: sir/madam,

I am Mr. Charles Morris , Provincial Director Standard Bank of South Africa, Capetown 
Branch. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. 

On June 6, 1999, a Canadian Oil consultant/contractor with the South Africa Mining 
Corporation, Mr. Robert Andason made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve 
calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five Million Dollars) in my 
branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got 
no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his 
contract employers, the South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr.Robert Andason died 
from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died 
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. 

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Robert Andason did not 
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit 
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the 
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one 
will ever come forward to claim it. According to South Africa Law, at the expiration 
of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa 
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. 

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an individual to stand in as the 
next of kin to Mr. Robert Andason so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not 
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like 
you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will 
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next 
of kin/beneficiary to his estate. We shall employ the service of Attorneys to process 
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor in order 
for the transfer to take place. A bank account in any part of the world which you will 
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next 
of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% 
for me and 40% for you. 

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the 
Attorney and my position as the Provincial Director guarantees the successful 
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the 
private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more 
details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.  

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be 
most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my 
share in your country. 

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email. 

Thanks and regards.

My dear friend,


compliment of the day to you.I know this my mail will come to you
as a surprise, but it is only because of the condition i found
myself.Before proceeding, i will like to introduce myself
peoperly to you.My name is Miss Stella Ankoh,am 26 years of age.I
am from democratic republic of Congo, WAR ZONE. 

Since four years ago, though, i am now an orphan because the war
claimed the life of my parents, leaving my younger brother by
name Douglas and I. Rather than wasting my time repeating
myself,i suggest you listern to my plea and comprehend my point
clearly.Once you do that,i believe it will narrow your view and
enable you face the true fact.

Meanwhile, due to the war in my country, am now residing in
republic of Benin and i entered there with my brother as a
refuge.I am a medical in Benin.though, they do not have all the
necessary materials for my education and i am making an
arrangement to travel out of Benin.

Now the problem is,before the death of my father Mr Micheal Ankoh,
he deposited the sum of $US 13 million dollars with my name as
the beneficiary.The money in question is still in finance company
here in Benin awaiting my claim.But as a refuge, i do not have
the right to lay claim on it as i do not have account here.Now
that my brother and i have succeded in securing a visa to move
out of this country.It is for this reason that i have tought of
reaching you so that you can help us in accomodating this money
where it will be safer before we depart from this country.What i
really need from you now is, your full name and mailing address
so that i can start off the change of ownership to that of yours.

Once you furnish this to me, i will proceed to the court to
secure a form for the affidavit that will enpower me to change it
into your name as the new beneficiary. For your information,i
have all the necessary documents to this.Morealso,i can send you
a picture of the money in question for proof as my late father
had a snap of it before depositing.

May GOD be with you for your understanding.

Yours Faithfully,

Stella Ankoh.

Good day,
You may be surprise to receive this email since you do not know me.
I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic Of Zaire,
President Mobutu Sese Seko, ( now The Republic of Congo, under the
leadership of the son of Mr. Laurent Kabila). I presume you are aware
there is a financial dispute between my family ( THEMOBUTUS ) and
the present civilian Government. This is based on what they believe as
bad and corrupt governance on my late father's part. May his soul rest
in perfect peace. As you might have heard how a lot of my father's bank
account in Switzerland and North America have been frozen. Following the
above named reasons, Iam soliciting for your humble and confidential
assistance to take custody of THIRTY Million United States Dollars
( US$30,000,000.00 ), also to front for me in the areas of business you
desire profitable.
These funds have secretly been deposited into a confidential Security
Company, where it can easily be withdrawn or paid to a recommended
beneficiary. The funds will be released to you by the Security Company,
based on my recommendations, on that note, you will be presented as my
partner who will be fronting for me and my family in any subsequent
ventures. Myself and my mother have decided to give 20% to you if you
are able to help us claim this consignment.
We have also decided to give you any money spent on phone calls or
traveling expenses in the course of this transaction at the end of

Please, I need your entire support and co-operation for the success of
this transaction, your utmost confidentiality and secrecy is highly

appreciate your willingness to assist us as soon as possible. I am

Dear Friend,

I am delighted to write this letter, hoping you will understand my predicament and 
answer back without hesitation since I am convince you must be an honest and God 
fearing fellow who will help save my life and my only son,hence our country has been 
frustrating us since the death of my husband.
I am MRS M. MBEki, the wife of the late DR.MARTIN MBEKI,the former Chief Excutive and 
Group Director of PACIFIC BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA.
I am in possession of $6,500,000.00 (SIX MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S 
DOLLARS)which I want to invest in your country. For your clarification and 
understanding, this money in a security company, which I deposited as a family effect 
since 6th of Febuary 2000 after the death of my husband, is not an ill gotten wealth 
rather it was generated by my late husband from over twenty years of his Banking 
Service and business relationship.
On your acceptance to render this assistance to me,I will contact my son to instruct 
the Clearing House  to effect a change of ownership of this fund in your name as the 
bonafide owner/my next of kin to enable you retrieve the fund on behalf of me and my
family to your country to make good arrangement for any profitble joint business 
investment pending my arrival with my son to your country after you have transferred 
this fund.
Bear in mind that this transaction demands absolute confidentiality because 
properties, assets and bank accounts bearing the MBEKI'S family name, are being 
ordered to be confiscated by the newly elected civilian President of South Africa. 
hence I will not want to be exposed for security reasons.
I am only revealing this to you with believing in God that you will not let me and my 
only son down now or in future if this money gets to you because this is the only hope 
of our future survival since our bread winner is no more.

For your knowledge, 1 % of this total amount has been set aside for all the expenses 
you might incure during the process of securing this fund. Example: TELEPHONE BILLS, 
HOTEL BILLS, FLIGHT BILLS,and other miscellenous expenses and also you are entitled to 
20% of the total amount when it gets to you account.
Try and negotiate for some profitable blue chip investment opportunities which is 
risky free which I think we can invest with part of this money when it is 
transferred.Personally I am interested in estate management and hotel business,please 
contact my son (SODINDO  MBEKI) who was lucky to escape from South Africa to Lome-Togo 
with the Certificate of the claim Deposit, where he is now staying as a refugee on his 
email address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for detailed procedure.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours sincerely,

TRANSFER SUM OF USD$28.6MILLION
ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO.   
We are among the head of the Contract Award Committe
in the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation(N.N.P C.) and we decided to contact you to
help us with the legal Transfer of US$28,600,000.00
(Twenty-Eight Million Six hundred Thousand United
States Dollars). 

The amount stated above resulted from an over-invoiced
contract executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (N.N.P.C.) for which the contractors have
been fully paid. Because this money was part of the
overall contract sum amounting to close to
(US$100,000,000:00) that has been completed.

The said amount has remained dormant and floating in
our Apex Bank. Therefore, we will raise supplementary
documents to enable us transfer into an account that
is yet to be nominated. We need a foreign partner,
because as civil servants, the code of conduct does
not allow us to operate foreign bank accounts. Hence
we solicit for your assistance, we are requesting you
to provide us with the help for the safekeeping of
this money until our arrival in your country to
collect our share and decide on investment
possibilities of this money based on your advice.

For your assistance in this transaction, we have
unanimously agreed to offer you 25% of this money, 10%
will be used in settling any incidental expenses that
may arise after the money is wired into your nominated
bank account and the remaining amount will be for us.
To enable the prompt transfer of this money, kindly
send to us your private telephone, fax number and bank
details in full.

As soon as your full banking details is received, we
would incorporate your firm as the legal contractor
that executed the contract thereby making you the
legal beneficiary of the fund as all modalities have
been put in place to ensure a hitch free transfer of
the fund into your nominated account.
your only duty in this transaction is to act as the
contractor/beneficiary of the fund.
and it would not take more than 5-7 working days for
the transfer to be effected into your nominated
account upon the receipt of your full banking details.

We look forward to hearing from you and thanking you
for your anticipated cooperation and consideration in
the above subject matter. Please be informed that we
would appreciate the handling of this transaction in a
confidential manner.

Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

INTRODUCTION: l am Mrs. Eki Omorodion l know this
proposal will come to you as a surprise because we
have not met before
either physically or through correspondence. I have no
doubt in your
ability to handle this proposal
involving huge sum of money.

THE SUBJECT: MY HUSBAND CHIEF JOSEPH OMORODION (Now
Late)
was the Royal
Head of my Community, JESSE (an oil rich town)in
Nigeria. My late husband'S
community produces 3.5%  of the total crude oil
production in Nigeria
and 0.5%  of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid
to my husband as
royalty by the Federal Government.

My husband was also the Chairman of  OMPADEC,Jesse
branch.
In
his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the
OMPADEC, Jesse branch,
he
made some money which he left for me and our children
as
the only thing to
inherit. The money is Twelve Million US
Dollars($12M).

Though this said fund accumulated  between the
period
1976-1998. Due to
poor banking system in Nigeria and political
instability as a result of
past Military rules (1985-1999), he deposited this
Money in a  Strong
Room/safe with an open beneficiary in Apex Bank of
Nigeria pending
when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad
as a CONTRACT
PAYMENT. He  was planning this when he died late last
year of Heart
Attack.

THE PROPOSAL: Just before my husband died he called my
attention to the
money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would
assist me in the
transfer / investment of the funds abroad. So l would
be very grateful
if you could accept to help me archieve this great
objective.

I promise to give you 20% of the total funds
transferred to your vital
bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five
percent
(5%)would be set aside to take care of all expenses we
may incure during the
transaction. To indicate your interest, contact me
urgently and
confidentially for more information and the roles you
will play in this
business. All the legal information concerning  this
Money will be sent to you
as soon as we agree together.

Send your reply through this mail box, or see the note
below

Yours faithfully,

N.B
I will like you to provide me immediately with your
full names,
telephone and fax numbers to enable my eldest son
samson Omorodion to contact you.
He shall handle this transaction from A-Z on behalf of
the family.

Deniable racial (etc) profiling coming to TSA, thanks to neural nets

2003-01-23 Thread Major Variola (ret)
From http://wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,57354,00.html, TSA will be
using
neural nets to harass travellers.

Neural nets, besides having due process problems, let you infer
properties
--like race--- from things that you can't or won't directly ask --eg on
loan applications.

Its even better than the archaic blame it on the computer ---which
doesn't
cover your ass when rules are explicit.  When its blame it on the
(opaque) neural net
you can get away with behavior that would not be acceptable if expressed
by
explicit rules.

(And we have spoken to an HNC engineer who confirmed this observation.)

Excerpt:

The agency will spend $80 million this year to replace the current
system's triggers, such as a one-way ticket purchase paid in cash, with
neural networks, or fuzzy logic
decision trees, that can detect more subtle indicators of a potential
threat.

The idea of computers acting on hunches vexes Tien.

The holy grail is that these systems will learn and adjust their
suspicion calculators on their own, untethered from human input, he
said. But if you can't document the
basis for a score or a decision, then you have a serious due process
problem.

The TSA awarded preliminary grants last spring to Lockheed Martin,
Infoglide Software, Ascent Technology and HNC Software, none of which
responded to requests
for comment.

Mixmaster Version 2.9.0


Many people have helped with the development of Mixmaster over the past
eight years. Lance Cottrell wrote the original 1.x and 2.x versions. Ulf
Mvller contributed significantly to the 2.0.x versions, and wrote the core
code for 2.9 from scratch. I'd like to give special thanks to Peter
Palfrader, for all of his hard work and assistance in helping me continue
this project, and to Janis Jagars for his valuable code contributions.

Mixmaster uses Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler's compression library zlib,
Philip Hazel's Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library, the ncurses
library (originally written by Zeyd Ben-Halim and Eric Raymond), and
OpenSSL (based on work by Eric Young and Tim Hudson.)

I have compiled below a partial list of people who have contributed to
Mixmaster's success, through suggestions, bug reports, patches, or other
contributions. Please report any omissions to me.

There have been numerous anonymous contributions to this project as well.
While we obviously can't thank the contributor(s) by name, they are still
very much appreciated.

Thanks also to all the remailer operators, who give their time and service
(and perform what is too often a thankless job) to ensure that our right
to anonymous speech is preserved.

Re: Thanks, Lucky, for helping to kill gnutella

2002-08-12 Thread Sunder

Ok Mr. Smarty Pants Aarg! Anonymous remailer user, you come up with such a
method.  Cypherpunsk write code, yes?  So write some code.

Meanwhile, this is why it can't be done:

If you have a client that sends a signature of it's binary back to it's
mommy, you can also have a rogue client that sends the same signature back
to it's mommy, but is a different binary.

So how does mommy know which is the real client, and which is the rogue
client?

After all, the rogue could simply keep a copy of the real client's binary,
and send the checksum/hash for the real copy, but not run it.


If you embedd one half of a public key in the real client, what's to stop
the attacker from reverse engineering the real client and extracting the
key, then sign/encrypt things with that half of the key?  Or to patch the
client using a debugger so it does other things also?  Or runs inside an
emulator where every operation it does is logged - so that a new rogue can
be built that does the same?  Or runs under an OS whose kernel is patched
to allow another process to access your client's memory and
routines? Or has modded dynamic libraries which your client depends on 
to do the same, etc.


Show us the code instead of asking us to write it for you.  I say, you
can't do it.  Prove me wrong.  As long as you do not have full exclusive
control of the client hardware, you can't do what you ask with any degree
of confidence beyond what security through obscurity buys you.  In the
end, if someone cares enough, they will break it.


All this pointless bickering has already been discussed:  A long while
ago, Dennis Ritchie of KR discussed how he introduced a backdoor into
login.c, then modified the C compiler to recognize when login.c was
compiled, and had it inject the back door, then removed the changes to
login.c.

How do you propose to have a client run in a hostile environment and
securely authenticate itself without allowing rogues to take over it's
function or mimic it?


Either propose a way to do what you're asking us to do - which IMHO is
impossible without also having some sort of cop out such as having trusted
hardware, or go away and shut the fuck up.

We've been calling the project Marianas, since it involves a chain of

even trust, each other remotely.  Some way in which a digital certificate
on a program could actually be verified, perhaps by some kind of remote,
trusted hardware device.  This way you could know that a remote system was
actually running a well-behaved client before admitting it to the net.
This would protect Gnutella from not only the kind of opportunistic
misbehavior seen today, but the future floods, attacks and DOSing which
will be launched in earnest once the content companies get serious about
taking this network down.

Right, so let's solve this problem.  Palladium/TCPA solves the problem
in one sense, but in a very inconvenient way.  First of all, they stop
you running a client which has been modified in any way -- not just a
client which has been modified to be selfish.  Secondly, they facilitate
the other bad things which have been raised on this list.

 Right, as if my normal style has been so effective.  Not one person has
 given me the least support in my efforts to explain the truth about TCPA

The reason for that is that we all disagree with you.  I'm interested to

 Your question seems to be based on a mistaken assumption about how
 remailers work.

Sorry to give that impression, and, as much as I respect you, and
James Donald, who also makes the same assertion about me, both of you
would be wrong in assuming that I don't know how remailers work, at
least in principle. While I haven't ever built a remailer, I *have*
used them on occasion, and I did edit Sameer Parekh's excellent
introduction to anonymous remailers for one of the first issues of
First Monday, when I was on the editorial board there in the middle
1990's.


That said, I would be willing to bet a (very :-)) nominal amount that
the esteemed Mr. AAARG! is, or was, in fact, using one hop, at most,
though to prove the bet out would be difficult thing to do.

In fact, to add further insult to his street cred, or at least kick
some dust on his patent-leather penny-loafers, I wouldn't be
surprised if the remailer is his own, though that would probably be
too stupid even for him to do, and I'm not going to waste my time
rooting out, even at a first pass, who runs the AAARG! remailer. I
just say I wouldn't be surprised, is all. :-).


At the foundation, then, my point is still the same one that I
started with: the same, well, idiots, tend use the same outbound
remailer hops, usually to the exclusion of all other remailer nodes,
and, oddly enough, to the exclusion of all other users of that
particular remailer. It becomes quite easy then to filter them out,
which is, frankly, nice, at least as far as I'm concerned. Besides
Mr. AAARG!, another user of a certain Austrian remailer node comes to
mind. Both of those gentlemen, if I were to only charitably call them
such, do not vary their output remailers, much less do other
potentially clueful things, like actually sign their messages, for
instance.


Obviously all this might have to do with finding enough working
remailers to string together, and, of course, the lack of genuinely
any easy to use mixmaster clients out there, even now, and not for
actually trying, using a whole bunch of money in a couple of cases. I
suppose, given the use of lots of remailers as a platform to heckle
ostensibly reasonable discussion from the back benches, if not to
actually stalk online and send poison-pen email, it's easy to find
their difficulty of use a blessing; though like most people who care
about such things, it doesn't help the cause of ubiquitous internet
privacy too much. Maybe we need cash, or something. Someday. :-).



Ultimately, I think it boils down to genuine gall. If someone like
Mr. AAARG! would actually endeavor to instruct the residents of the
cryptography list, or even cypherpunks :-), of the utility of shoving
a particularly egregious bit of technological emetic down our
collective throats, or even the throat of the general public, one
would think he would have a better clue about remailer hygiene when
he treated us to his current round of venturi-vaporised drivel.

So, Mr. AARG! is, probably, just some advanced-degree moke who works
at Intel, or is a Waveoid, or other such Wintel digital rights
management IP-control fellow traveller, and, given the paucity of
his nocturnal emissions from behind the Great Oz's Green Velvet
Curtain, or, better, the elementary answers people here are forced to
use to explain more rudimentary things than remailer operations to
him, probably helps me, just a smidge, with my assertion about his
probable clueless use of the remailer network.

You can try running a sniffer on it yourself. Gnutella traffic is almost

Mojo Nation actually had a completely excessive amount of bandwidth
donated to it. There was a problem that people complained of losing mojo
when running a server due to the total amount of upload being greater than
the total amount of download. The main user experience disaster in Mojo
Nation was that the retrieval rate for files was very bad, mostly due to
the high peer churn rate.

 At least in part this was also due to malicious clients, according to
 the analysis at http://www.cs.rice.edu/Conferences/IPTPS02/188.pdf.

Oh gee, that paper mostly talks about high churn rate too.

In fact, I was one of the main developers of Mojo Nation, and based on
lessons learned from that figured out how to build a system which can cope
with very high churn rates and has good leech resistance. It is now mature
and has had several quite successful deployments.

http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/

Not only are the algorithms used good for leech resistance, they are also
very good at being robust under normal variances in net conditions - in
fact, the decentralized greedy approach to resource allocation outperforms
any known centralized method.

The TCPA, even if it some day works perfectly (which I seriously doubt it
will) would just plain not help with any of the immediate problems in
Gnutella, BitTorrent, or Mojo Nation. I would guess the same is true for
most, if not all other p2p systems.

actually trying, using a whole bunch of money in a couple of cases. I
suppose, given the use of lots of remailers as a platform to heckle
ostensibly reasonable discussion from the back benches, if not to
actually stalk online and send poison-pen email, it's easy to find
their difficulty of use a blessing; though like most people who care
about such things, it doesn't help the cause of ubiquitous internet
privacy too much. Maybe we need cash, or something. Someday. :-).



Ultimately, I think it boils down to genuine gall. If someone like
Mr. AAARG! would actually endeavor to instruct the residents of the
cryptography list, or even cypherpunks :-), of the utility of shoving
a particularly egregious bit of technological emetic down our
collective throats, or even the throat of the general public, one
would think he would have a better clue about remailer hygiene when
he treated us to his current round of venturi-vaporised drivel.

So, Mr. AARG! is, probably, just some advanced-degree moke who works
at Intel, or is a Waveoid, or other such Wintel digital rights
management IP-control fellow traveller, and, given the paucity of
his nocturnal emissions from behind the Great Oz's Green Velvet
Curtain, or, better, the elementary answers people here are forced to
use to explain more rudimentary things than remailer operations to
him, probably helps me, just a smidge, with my assertion about his
probable clueless use of the remailer network.

p2p DoS resistance and network stability (Re: Thanks, Lucky, for helping to kill gnutella)

 Several people have objected to my point about the anti-TCPA efforts of
 Lucky and others causing harm to P2P applications like Gnutella.

The point that a number of people made is that what is said in the
article is not workable: clearly you can't ultimately exclude chosen
clients on open computers due to reverse-engineering.

(With TCPA/Palladium remote attestation you probably could so exclude
competing clients, but this wasn't what was being talked about).

The client exclusion plan is also particularly unworkable for gnutella
because some of the clients are open-source, and the protocol is (now
since original reverse engineering from nullsoft client) also open.

With closed-source implementations there is some obfuscation barrier
that can be made: Kazaa/Morpheus did succeed in frustrating competing
clients due to it's closed protocols and unpublished encryption
algorithm.  At one point an open source group reverse-engineered the
encryption algorithm, and from there the contained kazaa protocols,
and built an interoperable open-source client giFT
http://gift.sourceforge.net, but then FastTrack promptly changed the
unpublished encryption algorithm to another one and then used remote
code upgrade ability to upgrade all of the clients.

Now the open-source group could counter-strike if they had
particularly felt motivated to.  For example they could (1)
reverse-engineer the new unpublished encryption algorithm, and (2) the
remote code upgrade, and then (3) do their own forced upgrade to an
open encryption algorithm and (4) disable further forced upgrades.

(giFT instead after the ugrade attack from FastTrack decided to
implement their own open protocol openFT instead and compete.  It
also includes a general bridge between different file-sharing
networks, in a somewhat gaim like way, if you are familiar with
gaim.)

 [Freenet and Mojo melt-downs/failures...] Both of these are object
 lessons in the difficulties of successful P2P networking in the face
 of arbitrary client attacks.

I grant you that making simultaneously DoS resistant, scalable and
anonymous peer-to-peer networks is a Hard Problem.  Even removing the
anonymous part it's still a Hard Problem.

Note both Freenet and Mojo try to tackle the harder of those two
problems and have aspects of publisher and reader anonymity, so that
they are doing less well than Kazaa, gnutella and others is partly
because they are more ambitious and tackling a harder problem.  Also
the anonymity aspect possibly makes abuse more likely -- ie the
attacker is provided as part of the system tools to obscure his own
identity in attacking the system.  DoSers of Kazaa or gnutella would
likely be more easily identified which is some deterrence.

I also agree that the TCPA/Palladium attested closed world computing
model could likely more simply address some of these problems.

2002-08-09 Thread AARG! Anonymous

An article on Salon this morning (also being discussed on slashdot),
http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2002/08/08/gnutella_developers/print.html,
discusses how the file-trading network Gnutella is being threatened by
misbehaving clients.  In response, the developers are looking at limiting
the network to only authorized clients:

 On Gnutella discussion sites, programmers are discussing a number of
 technical proposals that would make access to the network contingent
 on good behavior: If you write code that hurts Gnutella, in other
 words, you don't get to play. One idea would allow only clients that
 you can authenticate to speak on the network, Fisk says. This would
 include the five-or-so most popular Gnutella applications, including
 Limewire, BearShare, Toadnode, Xolox, Gtk-Gnutella, and Gnucleus. If
 new clients want to join the group, they would need to abide by a certain
 communication specification.

They intend to do this using digital signatures, and there is precedent
for this in past situations where there have been problems:

 Alan Cox, a veteran Linux developer, says that he's seen this sort of
 debate before, and he's not against a system that keeps out malicious
 users using technology. Years and years ago this came up with a game
 called Xtrek, Cox says. People were building clients with unfair
 capabilities to play the space game -- and the solution, says Cox,
 was to introduce digital signatures. Unless a client has been signed,
 it can't play. You could build any client you wanted, but what you can't
 do is build an Xtrek client that let you play better.

Not discussed in the article is the technical question of how this can
possibly work.  If you issue a digital certificate on some Gnutella
client, what stops a different client, an unauthorized client, from
pretending to be the legitimate one?  This is especially acute if the
authorized client is open source, as then anyone can see the cert,
see exactly what the client does with it, and merely copy that behavior.

If only there were a technology in which clients could verify and yes,
even trust, each other remotely.  Some way in which a digital certificate
on a program could actually be verified, perhaps by some kind of remote,
trusted hardware device.  This way you could know that a remote system was
actually running a well-behaved client before admitting it to the net.
This would protect Gnutella from not only the kind of opportunistic
misbehavior seen today, but the future floods, attacks and DOSing which
will be launched in earnest once the content companies get serious about
taking this network down.

If only...  Luckily the cypherpunks are doing all they can to make sure
that no such technology ever exists.  They will protect us from being able
to extend trust across the network.  They will make sure that any open
network like Gnutella must forever face the challenge of rogue clients.
They will make sure that open source systems are especially vulnerable
to rogues, helping to drive these projects into closed source form.

Be sure and send a note to the Gnutella people reminding them of all
you're doing for them, okay, Lucky?

Before claiming that the TCPA, which is from a deployment standpoint
vaporware, could help with gnutella's scaling problems, you should
probably learn something about what gnutella's problems are first. The
truth is that gnutella's problems are mostly that it's a screamer
protocol, and limiting which clients could connect would do nothing to fix
that.

Limiting which clients could connect to the gnutella network would,
however, do a decent job of forcing to pay people for one of the
commercial clients. In this way it's very typical of how TCPA works - a
non-solution to a problem, but one which could potentially make money, and
has the support of gullible dupes who know nothing about the technical
issues involved.

AARG!, this is again unworthy of you.  You are capable of attempting to
confuse and misdirect at a higher level.

You might wish to emphasize that the real difficulties are at the levels
where the reasons for the small usage of GNUPG lie.  That really the
technical details of the TCPA/Palladium system hardly matter.  What
TCPA/Palladium will allow is the provision to the masses of even more
powerful brews of fantasy, game playing, advertising, etc..  And that there
will be a small number of hobbyists who use the unprotected ports of
TCPA/Palladium for their own limited experiments/amusements/etc..  The
real point of TCPA/Palladium is that a locus of trust, seemingly
guaranteed by the Powers That Be, will be created, and that the existence
of this same locus, under the facies of locus of dealmaking/lawyering,
will so reassure the Infotainment Arm of the Englobulators that the Arm
will unleash its extraordinary forces to build and sell ever more
entrancing Palaces of Dreams.  The unprotected ports will allow a mostly
self-supporting farm team system which will function without much direct
oversight and little outlay of money by Englobulator Central or any of the
Arms.  The limited freedom of the Farm System, with its convenient pull
strings, for the cases where something large and not controlled by Those
Who Know Best takes off, will be a powerful lure to up and coming future
Talent, who, when the time comes, may be Signed, without today's confusing
and annoying possibility of continued independence.  Indeed, the EULA of

This is the wrong solution.  One of the important factors in the
Internet's growth was that the IETF exercised enough control, but not
too much.  So HTTP is standardised, which allows (theoretically) any
browser to talk to any web server.  At the same time the higher levels
are not standardised, so someone who has an idea for a better browser or
web server is free to implement it.

If you build a protocol which allows selfish behaviour, you have done
your job badly.  Preventing selfish behaviour in distributed systems is
not easy, but that is the problem we need to solve.  It would be a good
discussion for this list.

Exactly.  This has already happened with unauthorised AIM clients.  My
freedom to lie allows me to use GAIM rather than AOL's client.  In this
case, IMO, the ethics are the other way round.  AOL seeks to use its
(partial) monopoly to keep a grip on the IM market.  The freedom to lie
mitigates this monopoly to an extent.

Likewise the WAN shooter games have (partially) defended against cheats by
making the client hold no authoritative data and by disqualifying those
that send impossible traffic.  (Excluding wireframe graphics cards is another
matter.)  If I were a serious gamer I'd want 2 communities - one for plain
clients to match gaming skills and another for cheat all you like contests
to match both gaming and programming skills.

If the Gnuts need to rework the protocol they should do so.

My objection to this TCPA/palladium thing is that it looks aimed at ending
ordinary computing.  If the legal scene were radically different this wouldn't
be causing nearly so much fuss.  Imagine:
- a DoJ that can enforce monopoly law
- copyright that expires in reasonable time
 (5 years for s/w ? 15 years for books,films,music... ?)
- fair use and first sale are retained
- no concept of indirect infringement (e.g. selling marker pens)
- criminal and civil liability for incorrectly barring access in DRM
- hacking is equally illegal for everybody
- no restriction on making and distributing/selling any h/w,s/w

If Anonymous presents Gnutella for serious comparison with the above issues
I say he's looking in the wrong end of his telescope.
