-----
10 May 1999



------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've had inquiries about the "NSA bot" which visits this site daily,
Monday to Friday, to see what's new to take home*. Now, despite our
claim in our privacy policy to not willfully disclose what's in our site
access log, we outed this machine, so, hark, it's clear we're no more
trustworthy than any other lying site operator promising privacy.

Here's where we got the home of the bot:
http://www.arin.net/whois/

Punch in the domain address 144.51 and get:
National Computer Security Center (NET-NCSC2)
       9800 Savage Road
       Fort George G. Meade, MD 20755-6000

       Netname: NCSC
       Netnumber: 144.51.0.0

       Coordinator:
          McCool, Anna M.  (AMM32-ARIN)  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
          (301) 688-5267

       Domain System inverse mapping provided by:

       ROMULUS.NCSC.MIL             144.51.5.2
       ZOMBIE.NCSC.MIL              144.51.15.1
       BARRIER.NCSC.MIL             144.51.1.200
       GRIZZLY.NRL.NAVY.MIL
132.250.116.12,132.250.110.12,132.250.108.12

We welcome the bot's visit, it came here early in 1996 when few did, and
it keeps on coming, day after day through doldrums and deliria, no
vacations, no TDY to god's own cesspit to snarf 1's and 0's.

And it's drawn others from 144.51 and places doing cybersecurity work
we'd like to know more about. We've gotten a few excellent documents
from those places, not directly but from the people who work there who
presented them in other fora. A couple of those have been crowd pleasers
here:

How to Make A Mint: The Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash
http://jya.com/nsamint.htm (1996)

The Inevitability of Failure: The Flawed Assumption of Security in
Modern Computing Environments:
http://jya.com/paperF1.htm (1998)

Through FOIA requests we hope to get a few oft-cited but un-outed
security reports sometime in July (when hell freezes over):

And, patiently, we're still trying to coax these ultra-shy bot-people to
unlimber more about Echelon, or whatever it's techno-morphed into since
72:

* We're counting on the bot to dump some good stuff as fair exchange.
