(Survey) http://www.securityskeptic.com/2015/01/are-you-using-2-step-verification-survey.html Passwords play roles in many security incidents. Phishing attacks often seek to collect a target's login information for online banking, corporate or private email, network login, auction or social media sites. In these and other attacks, attackers benefit from how we rely only on a password to access an account or prove our identity. 2-step verification is a more secure form of proving your identity (who you are) than just passwords. In most 2-step verification systems, you register a trusted device with an online banking service, blog, or social media provider: this device is typically your mobile phone. When you log in to that service or social media, you verify your identity by entering both your password and a verification code that's sent to your trusted device (again, most often your mobile phone). By adding this second step, someone who learns your password for your online banking service, etc., can't impersonate your or access your accounts unless he also has your trusted device. 2-step verification is a good defense against stolen passwords. The purpose of this post - and the embedded survey - is to learn whether 2-step verification is popular, and where people are using it. A secondary purpose is to raise awareness of 2-step-verification so that more people will be encouraged to use it. Please take a few minutes to answer the six (6) questions.

[liberationtech] Fwd: Call for Applications (April 3 deadline) - NATO Emerging Leaders Working Group
Original Message Subject:Call for Applications (April 3 deadline) - NATO Emerging Leaders Working Group Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:47:45 -0400 The Atlantic Council is excited to announce that it is accepting applications for a working group of exceptional emerging leaders (ages 25-35) from across the NATO Alliance to recommend concrete proposals that support a renewed Trans-Atlantic Bond. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced the working group today to seek input from emerging leaders in the run-up to the NATO Summit in Wales this September and has asked the Atlantic Council to facilitate this unique international and nonpartisan initiative. Following a competitive and merit-based application process, fifteen emerging leaders from NATO member countries will travel to the Atlantic Council’s Toward a Europe Whole and Free conference on April 29-May 1 in Washington, DC to meet senior leaders and begin drafting recommendations; to NATO HQ in Brussels this June to present recommendations to Alliance leaders; and – tentatively – to the NATO Summit in Wales this September. Members will have an opportunity to shape the discussions at and in the run-up to the 2014 NATO Summit and build a lasting community of peers committed to supporting a strong Trans-Atlantic bond for the twenty-first century. Applicants may include elected officials, business leaders, journalists, legislative staff, military personnel and veterans, community leaders, policy experts, government officials, and other professionals working in a field of relevance to the Trans-Atlantic bond whose leadership experience, professional expertise, and direct role in influencing policy and public opinion position them to contribute substantively to the working group and provide innovative recommendations. Please note: • Participants who have attended past Young Atlanticist Summits (in Chicago, Lisbon, Bucharest, Istanbul, and Prague) are not eligible to apply. • Members will have unique opportunities to travel and meet exceptional peers and Alliance leaders and should expect to participate fully in the events mentioned above in 2014 (the April 29-May 1 conference in DC, early June conference in Brussels, and tentatively planned Wales Summit which is scheduled for the week of September 5). The deadline to apply is April 3, 2014. To learn more and apply, please visit http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/young-atlanticist-program/nato-emerging-leaders-working-group.

Re: [liberationtech] Piratebrowser?
IMHO, it seems like a needless duplication of effort. Tor alone is pretty good at circumvention. It has a couple flaws - it's slower than a simple VPN, and obtaining bridges can be a bit of a challenge if you're in a regime that's actively blocking access. But the Pirate Browser doesn't seem to attempt to solve either of these issues. -Greg On 8/11/13 10:14 AM, Ben Laurie wrote: On 11 August 2013 03:39, Griffin Boyce griffinbo...@gmail.com wrote: On 08/11/2013 12:51 AM, Tom Ritter wrote: Some other random stats for the curious.

Which is kind of an interesting choice, considering their stated desire to target Iran (of all places). About a year ago, I wrote a quick Chrome plugin for torrenters to bypass the common DNS blocks on TPB and similar sites. In the UK I thought blocks were IP-based, hence this piece of amusement: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2013/sky-torrentfreak-blocking. Users from the UK and the Netherlands (both places where they have a large userbase) had recently been blocked from accessing TPB.

It could be a scheme to get more of their users to use privacy-protecting techniques, but a guide might have more of an effect there. If their only goal is to bypass censorship of this one site, there are easier methods that are just as effective.

Anyone who stresses the PhD in order to imply their ideas are somehow better than others gets an eyebrow raise from me.

Either way, he's using an appeal to authority, which doesn't sit well with me. Furthermore, I don't like the business model. Why doesn't he put the book up for free, and offer avenues for people to send him donations if they liked it? Those who would pirate the book will pirate it anyways, and those who might not have paid might download it, read it, then decide to donate.

[liberationtech] Super Bowl Power Outage: Possible SCADA intrusion?
It's admittedly a wild theory, but it was the first thing that came to mind. After the game I googled, and came across this gem: Michael Burns, a spokesman for Entergy Services, the local utility, said that his company’s distribution and transmission feeders that serve the Superdome were never interrupted. Power did not go out elsewhere in the city. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/04/sports/football/power-outage-in-superdome-delays-super-bowl.html As many on this list may know, SCADA vulnerabilities are rampant in the US power grid. And Stuxnet was targeted at SCADA systems overseas. Now, there's admittedly no evidence, so this is just idle speculation on my part, but I'd be surprised if I was the only one musing along these lines, and thought it might be interesting to start a thread about the possibility. -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech

Re: [liberationtech] Tragic News: Aaron Swartz commits suicide
I really respect Aaron's work, and don't mean to detract from it. But perhaps we can use this to talk about the issue of depression in the technology community? (Especially academia - we are, after all on a Stanford run email list) I have several friends in academia who suffer from depression. I am known for being a good listening IRL, and I've offered to be there for many of them. You know what depressed ME? All of them remain oblivious the others exist - because they all believe that publicly acknowledging their mental illness will kill their chances for tenure and/or prestigious industry research jobs, and have sworn me to secrecy. These friends come from multiple universities/companies - it is not a problem endemic to one place. Depression kills more people than terrorism, DUI, heart disease, breast cancer - more than so many popular causes. Again - I do not in any way, shape, or form intend to detract from Alex's contributions. He was a great inspiration to me, and I greatly respect his contributions to us all. But I think that by opening a conversation about mental illness, we can help more people than debating about JSTOR, and do not want to see this opportunity lost. We could remove the stigma from talking about mental illness in academia today, if we chose. And maybe we could save someone thinking of making the choice Aaron made. Personally, I dislike the term suicide. I prefer the wording died of depression - to emphasize that depression is as much as a disease as any other. In closing... I offer my condolences to Aaron's surviving family, and hope we can use this moment to achieve some sort of silver lining to an extremely dark cloud.

Swartz committed suicide in New York City yesterday, Jan. 11, according to his uncle, Michael Wolf, in a comment to The Tech. Swartz was 26. “The tragic and heartbreaking information you received is, regrettably, true,” confirmed Swartz’ attorney, Elliot R. Peters of Kecker and Van Nest, in an email to The Tech. Swartz was indicted in July 2011 by a federal grand jury for allegedly mass downloading documents from the JSTOR online journal archive with the intent to distribute them. He subsequently moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he then worked for Avaaz Foundation, a nonprofit “global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere.” Swartz appeared in court on Sept. 24, 2012 and pleaded not guilty. The accomplished Swartz co-authored the now widely-used RSS 1.0 specification at age 14, was one of the three co-owners of the popular social news site Reddit, and completed a fellowship at Harvard’s Ethics Center Lab on Institutional Corruption. In 2010, he founded DemandProgress.org, a “campaign against the Internet censorship bills SOPA/PIPA.” -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
[liberationtech] Facebook Allows You to Pay $1 to Message Anyone
Hi all, I just read this article about Facebook's recent change to messages: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2022925/facebooks-1-message-test-opens-inboxes-to-strangers.html The gist is that you can pay a dollar to make sure your message is delivered: In the test, users can pay $1 to make sure their messages land in the Inbox, rather than the Other section. Facebook thinks this could be the best way to deliver important messages from non-friends while keeping spam out of the Inbox. I was wondering whether anyone else thinks this change could be a violation of Facebook's FTC settlement? I am not a lawyer, but I know several policy wonks are on here, so I thought I'd seek a second opinion. Recall that according to their 2011 settlement, Facebook is required to obtain consumers' affirmative express consent before enacting changes that override their privacy preferences (http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/11/privacysettlement.shtm) Facebook's previous privacy interface allowed users to specify who could send them messages. For example, a user could have specified that only their friends could message them. The new interface offers two options: 1.) Basic Filtering: Mostly just friends and people you know 2.) Strict Filtering: Mostly just friends - you may miss messages from other people you know (Screenshot: http://imgur.com/EZSBq) If a user, prior to this change, had made their settings such that only friends could message them, this change makes it such that ANYONE (including strangers) to pay to message them. Couldn't this be construed as enacting changes that override privacy preferences without affirmative express consent, and thus a violation of the 2011 settlement? -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech

Re: [liberationtech] CryptoParty Handbook

Re: [liberationtech] archives public
There is what should be, and there is reality. Any mailing list that allows anyone to subscribe is effectively public - some malicious actor will always siphon off posts, regardless of laws, list policies, or basic social norms. Making claims that a list is private is dangerous and gives a false sense of security IMHO. I say we keep the list as it is - no automated archive. And if there is a technical measure to indicate to ethical bots not to archive, we set that up. But I feel strongly that we should _not_ make any claims that the list is private. We should state something like While LibTech attempts to limit crawling by robots, this list is open to anyone, and thus, is for all intents and purposes, public. -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 On 8/11/12 3:58 PM, André Rebentisch wrote: Am 10.08.2012 06:40, schrieb Brian Conley: I agree with you generally Jillian, but perhaps the list guidelines should be changed to simply make the archives public? I respectfully disagree, I experienced it as dangerous to have open ML archives. In Germany I would clearly advise list admins against unless it is a newsletter. I have been through this. a) case of noticetakedown action: Most list admins have no process how to delete individual posts from the archives. If you don't respond in time you get into trouble. You never get enough time to respond when your opponents are malicious. b) several emails per year from individuals kindly asking you to remove posts from the archives of an inactive list you didn't even know. c) google indexing, which promotes a) and b) cases A ML usually implies an expectation about the audience and a customary agreement how to share submissions. If you subscribe to a mailing list w/o open archives your are not supposed to make them available. Here an example: RMS once had a discussion with Zimbabwe supporters on an IGF internet governance list where he expressed quite frank and opinionated views about the nature of the Mugabe government. Because it was an open list with open archives (but limited subscribers) the conversation ended up indexed by Google. RMS did not bother that he endangered his African discussion partners by inciting them to answer his flame bait. Did participants to a ML gave their prior consent to leave a totalitarian trace? Google indexing makes the discussion partners uneven, because (email surveillance aside) certain parties cannot express their views within the group. Google indexing of open archive ML leaves a trace that anyone without advanced knowledge, access or technology could exploit. You type the email of a student from Zimbabwe and you find a discussion where he responds to a critic of the Mugabe government. Not relevant for us, we enjoy free speech, but it may become quite dangerous for this person, in particular, if the nature of the regime was correctly described. I am disgusted by the information wants to be free cynicism in these scenarios.

Re: [liberationtech] archives public
I am not suggesting legalizing murder I am suggesting placing prominent signs in an area where many murders occur :) These signs could warn people to take reasonable precautions such as avoiding travel at night, and dialing 911 to report suspicious persons, and possibly choosing to obtain a concealed carry permit. I don't think these signs would normalize murders. My own undergrad used to post flyers in areas where muggings occured, and this didn't make me think it was OK to mug people - it made me take a bus or a cab, rather than walk through those areas late at night. Also, we have a means to stop CCTV - privacy legislation. For example, if London (CCTV champion of the world) changed their laws, the use of CCTV could be eliminated very easily. There is no easy fix to stop malicious individuals and/or intelligence agencies from siphoning off posts. The intelligence agencies of the world all have pretty much free reign to spy on the communications of the rest of the world. Some of the less human rights respecting ones spy on their own people as well :) You talk about how terrible it is that these privacy violations are occurring - and I emphatically agree, 100%. Where we differ is that I think that it is better to warn people about their lack of privacy, and perhaps help them avoid making a dangerous disclosure, rather than pay lip service to some ill-defined idea like normalization while some poor souls posts something that could get them arrested or killed. I value human lives over ideas, especially when those ideas aren't backed with data. Can you show me proof that people's privacy attitudes change when exposed to privacy warnings in the manner you fear will happen?

Re: [liberationtech] Urgent question
Sam makes a great point. In general, it is a best practice to assume that anything posted to a mailing list like this (or any other form of social media) is public, regardless of any privacy settings. Even if the list is not indexed by the maintainers, any member could choose to copy the messages sent to the list, and post them on the public web.
