-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear list members,
today the French newspaper Le Monde published information on a secret NSA program, MORECOWBELL [0], that reveals the agency has been using the DNS infrastructure to monitor host and website activity across the Internet. This monitoring also enable Battle Damage Indication [1], a military term to say in this case that DNS activity is indicative of physical damage at a geographic location, and thus can be used to determine whether a target has been destroyed, in the case the bad guys' government didn't already shut it down themselves, so that the good guys can "repeat the attack". Peer-to-peer name systems using pTLDs effectively protect the Internet infrastructure by removing authoritarian censorship as well as attack vectors leading to physical destruction of servers. To serve resilient names and protect the safety of fellow sysadmins in exposed datacenters, to give a different beat to the Internet: please support P2P Names. Here is draft-04: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names/ As always, you criticism and constructive feedback are very welcome! If you tweet, please use the #P2PNames hashtag. Thank you for you attention, == hk [0] MORECOWBELL, the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UXHiPWrZxg If you ever witnessed an actual cow herd, you know that we don't need "more cow bell", but more cows, as music comes with many bells, not a bully rhythm from a single one.
