In real world, you have to have common sense and precisely, not expect everybody to behave as you are pretending personally or as you want them, even when they are Debian developers, crackers or both, with or without knowledge of the status. > > madduck did not broke the keysigning party, but broke people that > > trusted his ID and signed his key, IMNVHO. > > I am afraid I find such reasoning facile, and all too apologist > for crackers.

It's the victims fault if they trusted people blindly. The bank is doors-open and the vault is lock free, just simply, do not rob us. Okay? Agree? Okay, come in! Our bank trust you as a customer! Wait, sir! What are you doing! Leave those money bags! Sir! Police! The web of trust will not allow you to trust people blindly, but to trust they are who they say they are by any level of security you have applied on the analysis. To be honest, I don't trust many people and exactly because people is not from Krypton: I know I can trust my fiance, my mother, my father, my sis and that's all. I don't fully trust you, or Gunnar Wolf, or madduck or the guy on the power that tells me that a better future is coming. I don't understand why you had to trust in people. The web of trust is a different thing of trust, it's about identities, not trusting people they won't cheat on you or lift your wallet. > I had pointed out last year about the difference between a res > team attack and what happened last year: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/05/msg03011.html > > And before you get on your high horse again, look at what > madduck said himself: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/05/msg03033.html > > Better yet, go read all the threads concerning the event from > last May, and come back if you have anything new to add. I did last year, no need from you to tell people what to do. I attended the KSP, refused to sign madduck and stayed away from the discussion on the list since most people there reduced to whining on how he made fun (or call it the way you really want, it's up to you) of, by cracking a human system that is, precisely crackable, because it's driven by humans, for humans, just like any other freaking system, like, for instance, the NM process. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ Saca tus alas y empieza a volar. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
