Camera/Shy http://www.hacktivismo.com/news/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=12 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADVISORY: The following program may prove destabilizing for dictators. LUBBOCK, TX, July 4 – Camera/Shy, a browser-based steganography application from HACKTIVISMO, will be released at the H2K2 Convention in New York City on July 13th. Camera/Shy was developed for democracy activists operating from behind national firewalls. It allows users to trade in banned content across the Internet. Camera/Shy is the debut release from Hacktivismo, a special operations group sponsored by the CULT OF THE DEAD COW. Hacktivismo offers technical solutions to the human rights community, and has over thirty associates from North America, Europe, Russia, Israel, Australia, Taiwan, and Korea. "I’m really proud of everyone in the group", said Hacktivismo founder, Oxblood Ruffin. "They’ve made a commitment to bringing a Constitutional Toolkit to the Internet. And although not all of us are Americans, we share the fundamental ideals of the Constitution of the United States, especially freedom of speech. Camera/Shy is a small first step in sharing that privilege". Camera/Shy will be released open source under the GNU General Public License. It is dedicated to the memory of Wang Ruowang, former doyen of the Chinese dissident community, a study in courage, and a lamp unto our feet. CAMERA/SHY OVERVIEW Sometimes hiding the truth is the best way to protect it, and yourself. Designed with the non-technical user in mind, Camera/Shy’s "one touch" encryption process delivers banned content across the Internet in seconds. Utilizing LSB steganographic techniques and AES-256 bit encryption, this application enables users to share censored information with their friends by hiding it in plain view as ordinary gif images. Camera/Shy is the only steganographic tool that automatically scans for and delivers decrypted content straight from the Web. It is a stand-alone, Internet Explorer-based browser that leaves no trace on the user’s system. As a safety feature Camera/Shy also includes security switches for protection against malicious HTML.
