Re: ...or linux, for that matter...
From: Mark Talbot [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...] It seems ZKS is going Windows (98/Me/2K) only. They are no longer developing their Freedom product for Mac or linux. [...] IMO this majorly sucks. Well, there is a simple solution to it: offer to pay for their development and maintenance costs, in exchange for a share in the profits. If you don't think there will be any (profits, that is), why should they continue supporting it? /ji -- /\ ASCII ribbon | John JI Ioannidis * Secure Systems Research Department \/campaign| ATT Labs - Research * Florham Park, NJ 07932 * USA /\against | Intellectuals trying to out-intellectual / \ HTML email. | other intellectuals (Fritz the Cat) - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If this is the case, there is a much simpler explanation: someone is attacking the web server at 12.1.224.109 using fake IP addresses; the server is responding to the source address of the packet, and you catch it. /ji -- /\ ASCII ribbon | John JI Ioannidis * Secure Systems Research Department \/campaign| ATT Labs - Research * Florham Park, NJ 07932 * USA /\against | Intellectuals trying to out-intellectual / \ HTML email. | other intellectuals (Fritz the Cat) - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Thai Pirates Crack Microsoft's New Windows System
They didn't have to. It's not widely publicized, but there's a version of XP that has the old type in a registration number It's the so-called Corporate Edition and it exists in professional (i.e., desktop) and various server forms. I wonder if the Thai guys are just redistributing it with a key they stole from some company (in which case it's easily traceable back to the origin of the leak), if they cracked the testing code and are creating their own keys, or if they simply patched the binary to always return true no matter what activation key is given. I also wonder how the cracked version will interact with the Windows Update feature. M$ claims that Windows Update does not transmit any information about the computer that's being updated to microsoft, but I don't trust them. Has anyone actually analyzed the WU scripts to see what exactly they are sending, and whether they have any covert channels to send information back? /ji - KC2IER -- /\ ASCII ribbon | John JI Ioannidis * Secure Systems Research Department \/campaign| ATT Labs - Research * Florham Park, NJ 07932 * USA /\against | Intellectuals trying to out-intellectual / \ HTML email. | other intellectuals (Fritz the Cat) - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fingerprints (was: Re: biometrics)
Last week I had to go to my local INS office to get fingerprinted (part of the green card process is getting your fingerprints OK'ed by the FBI (and also presumably stored for future reference)). The process is computerised, with a low-res scan of all the fingers taken once, and then each finger is individually rolled and scanned on a much higher resolution scanner. The process took about 20-30 minutes; each finger had to be wiped with some cleaning fluid, the glass on top of the scanner also had to be wiped between scans, and a fingerprinting technician had to roll each of my fingers with the right amount of pressure to get a clear image of the fingerprint. Even with immediate feedback on a large screen showing the fingerprint and how good the scan was, some fingers took as many as five tries to get an acceptable fingerprint. Now, this was a special-built device whose only purpose is to scan fingerprints, operated under ideal conditions by a trained technician. Draw your own conclusions about the effectiveness of mass-produced fingerprint scanners that would be integrated in other devices. /ji -- /\ ASCII ribbon | John JI Ioannidis * Secure Systems Research Department \/campaign| ATT Labs - Research * Florham Park, NJ 07932 * USA /\against | Intellectuals trying to out-intellectual / \ HTML email. | other intellectuals (Fritz the Cat) - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DOJ proposes US data-rentention law.
Under this proposed law, will ISPs have to scan *all* SMTP traffic and record the envelope, or only the traffic for which they actually do SMTP forwarding? If the latter is the case, we can simply go back to the original end-to-end SMTP delivery model; no POP/IMAP or any of that stuff. If the former is the case, well, so long as they don't outlaw crypto, ISPs can't sniff SMTP going over IPsec, now, can they? Of course, outlawing crypto or declaring that anyone who terminates an SMTP connection, including end-users, is considered an ISP for the purposes of the law solves their problem. /ji - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What's wrong with your backups? :-) This is like a problem Windows already has: if you move a disk onto different hardware, more often than not you can't boot because the wrong Hardware Adaptation Layer info is in the disk's boot sector. At least you can recover the data by mounting it as a second disk. /ji - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
