ZDNet UK News: Echelon: Surveillance techniques
This ZDNET UK News story has been forwarded to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] who has added these comments: Yo. Echelon: Surveillance techniques Fri, 30 Jun 2000 10:30:00 GMT Susanne Rieger, ZDNet Germany Telecommunications security expert in Germany, Manfred Fink, tells ZDNet exactly what individuals and companies have to fear from covert surveillance ZDNet:How long have you known about Echelon? Fink: Experts have known for years that we are systematically being monitored. It's the first time, however, that the problem is being perceived as a reality, now that the European Parliament and Deutscher Bundestag -- German Parliament -- are getting involved. What reasons lie behind the secrecy surrounding Echelon? Fink: There are two reasons: on the one side, prosecutors have no interest in having their entire operation laid out in the open. There is no disclaimer. One simply doesn't say anything. On the other side, any... German officials with the power to say something has until now remained quiet in order to prevent putting any inter-governmental projects at risk. The government didn't want to jeopardise the NATO alliance. But both France and England have their own spy satellites, as does China. This... weighs greatly upon EU partnerships. What kind of costs are associated with Echelon's activities? Fink: The budget granted for these kinds of operations amount to billions of dollars a year. Estimates as to how many people work for the National Security Agency (NSA) vary between 140,000 and 170,000. They of course employ only top people, the best mathematicians, used in unimaginable hacking/calculus centres. Hardware isn't an issue there either. Though secret services of this sort have their own chip factories, it is only with "normal hardware" and parallel switching from one to another that they obtain their efficiency. The real problem lies in the software. The text recognition programmes used on office computers are simple waste products of military programming. Imagine your phone socket has been tapped with a control device. This means that each time you use that line your call is monitored. But the real spying only comes into play once a particular "hit-word" has been pronounced. The quantity of data would simply be too large to cope with otherwise. As long as the system is used in the fight against terrorism and frail regimes no one has a problem with it. It is only criticised when it is used for industrial espionage. What makes a person a target? Who is likely to be spied on? Fink: There is a lot of abuse in the relationships between European allies. Ordinary individuals are unlikely to be a target, but companies will be. The size of the firm being targeted is relatively unimportant, but international companies will be monitored no matter what. Whether you own a small company of just 20 employees, have a specific product that only you offer worldwide or have only one competitor who sits in the US, you are bound to be of interest. Is there anyway of knowing you are being monitored? Fink: No. To whom do you recommend the installation of high-tech security? I recommend that all companies set up solid security. One must ask the question: "Would it be serious if they got hold of a third of the information in this communication?" Whoever replies "Yes" should make a security decision. If the secret services have such efficient hacking machines, does it make any sense at all to use cryptography? Fink: Information is perishable. If it takes months or years to obtain it, it often loses its value. This is the absolute starting point for defence: setting the threshold so high that the circumstances no longer require the information to be obtained. Is it true that the radiation generated by monitors can be picked up and reproduced from as far as a hundred metres away? Fink: Yes, whether it is a Word document with twelve point text font, an Excel spreadsheet or a CAD-image, you can pick it up via the monitor's radiation. Equipment to do this is available for DM250,000 (8,000). To prevent this you can either shield your monitor and hard drive or isolate entire rooms. This is how it is done in large calculus centres. Another method is to overwrite the emissions with a jamming signal so that the receiver will see nothing but a snow flurry on the screen. Mobile phones must be easy to monitor. Is this true? Fink: Mobile phones are actually better than we think. The air interface to base station is quite safe unless you happen to be standing opposite a news station. The rest runs on directional radio and public networks. These are indeed relatively easy to pick up. Rumours from the US secret services claim there is a transantlantic fibreglass cable that picks up and retrieves data. Is this a modern fairy-tale or is it true? Fink: No. In fact it's an entire underwater station held by cables made of copper. Other than that, it's correct. I have seen photos of it and these were no fakes. When am I

Employee Jim Choate
To: tivoli.com Dear Tivoli, One of your employees, Jim Choate, has been posting like a nutjob to an email list called 'cypherpunks'. By nutjob, I mean posting HTML to this non-html list, and posting emails hundreds of lines long containing only a sentence of his own, followed by complete reprints of previous emails to the list. The list has a no-censorship policy, but his ongoing violations of the list standards is destructive to the ability to discuss matters relevant to the list. As it turns out, Choate reads and posts to the high-volume list at any and all hours during the work day. On that basis, could you notify his manager? Mr. Choate is definitely not "being all he could be" at Tivoli. Enclosed is the latest example. For a full range of examples, contact me, and I will extract his messages for the last month from my mailbox.

WSJ: Backdoor in MS WWW software
(Subscription required) http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB955657934787818042.htm April 14, 2000 Microsoft Acknowledges Its Engineers Placed Security Flaw in Some Software By TED BRIDIS Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Microsoft Corp. acknowledged Thursday that its engineers included in some of its Internet software a secret password -- a phrase deriding their rivals at Netscape as "weenies" -- that could be used to gain illicit access to hundreds of thousands of Internet sites world-wide. The manager of Microsoft's security-response center, Steve Lipner, acknowledged the online-security risk in an interview Thursday and described such a backdoor password as "absolutely against our policy" and a firing offense for the as yet unidentified employees. The company planned to warn customers as soon as possible with an e-mail bulletin and an advisory published on its corporate Web site. Microsoft urged customers to delete the computer file-called "dvwssr.dll"-containing the offending code. The file is installed on the company's Internet-server software with Frontpage 98 extensions. While there are no reports that the alleged security flaw has been exploited, the affected software is believed to be used by many Web sites. By using the so-called back door, a hacker may be able to gain access to key Web-site management files, which could in turn provide a road map to such things as customer credit-card numbers, said security experts who discovered the password. Two security experts discovered the rogue computer code -- part of which was the denigrating comment "Netscape engineers are weenies!" -- buried within the three-year-old piece of software. It was apparently written by a Microsoft employee near the peak of the hard-fought wars between Netscape Communications Corp. and Microsoft over their versions of Internet-browser software. Netscape later was acquired by America Online One of the experts who helped identify the file is a professional security consultant known widely among the Internet underground as "Rain Forest Puppy." Despite his unusual moniker, he is highly regarded by experts and helped publicize a serious flaw in Microsoft's Internet-server software last summer that put hundreds of high-profile Web sites at risk of intrusion. Russ Cooper, who runs the popular NT Bugtraq discussion forum on the Internet, estimated that the problem threatened "almost every Web-hosting provider." Starting a Business "It's a serious flaw," Mr. Cooper said. "Chances are, you're going to find some major sites that still have it enabled." Mr. Lipner of Microsoft said the company will warn the nation's largest Web-site providers directly. In an e-mail to Microsoft earlier Thursday, Rain Forest Puppy complained that the affected code threatened to "improve a hacker's experience." Experts said the risk was greatest at commercial Internet-hosting providers, which maintain hundreds or thousands of separate Web sites for different organizations. Mr. Lipner said the problem doesn't affect Internet servers running Windows 2000, or the latest version of its server extensions included in Frontpage 2000. The digital gaffe initially was discovered by a Europe-based employee of ClientLogic Corp. (www.clientlogic.com) of Nashville, Tenn., which sells e-commerce technology. The company declined to comment because of its coming stock sale. The other expert, Rain Forest Puppy, said he was tipped off to the code by a ClientLogic employee. When asked about the hidden insult Thursday, Jon Mittelhauser, one of Netscape's original engineers, called it "classic engineer rivalry."

WSJ: Who will issue digital IDs...
(Subscription required) http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB954726834832952362.htm April 3, 2000 E-Commerce Growth Pushes The Adoption of Digital IDs CAN YOU PROVE you are who you say you are? In the real world, you might flash a driver's license, or a passport, or even offer up your fingerprints. The Internet is a different story. It's relatively easy to pass yourself off as someone else online. That problem is holding back all sorts of transactions from moving onto the Web, from big-ticket purchases like houses to online trade with faraway exporters. The solution, according to a growing consensus, is something called a digital certificate, a tiny computer file that can serve as both ID card and signature. Based on complex mathematical codes, these certificates are essentially forge-proof. The technology has been around for a while but, outside of computer-security circles, hasn't attracted many users. Now, fueled by the e-commerce explosion, momentum is building. Last month, VeriSign, the most prominent company in the field, turned up the heat with its mammoth purchase of Network Solutions, the company that oversees corporate dot-com identities. Congress is considering legislation that would make digital signatures as legally binding as their old-fashioned pen-and-paper counterparts. ADVOCATES SAY widespread acceptance of this technology would be a boon for e-commerce. But in the rush to embrace digital IDs, there are some big unanswered questions. Are these certificates foolproof? Who should issue them? Will they drive a bigger wedge into the digital divide, marginalizing those without easy access to the Net? VeriSign is more concerned about IDs for companies than for consumers. With electronic marketplaces popping up everywhere, businesses will be keen to make sure the customer that just ordered 10,000 widgets really exists. [snip] Credit cards have become the Net's stand-in for an ID card. But credit cards can't fill in for a legally binding signature. You can file your taxes online with the IRS, but with the exception of a pilot program, you'll still need to mail in a piece of paper with your signature. Opening an online brokerage account, for example, still requires sending in a hard-copy signature. Not surprisingly, the online-brokerage industry has been a big proponent of making electronic signatures legally binding. U.S. legislators are ironing out differences in a bill called the Millennium Digital Commerce Act. Among other things, the bill would grant electronic signatures and contracts the same status as their paper counterparts. [snip] Who should pass out these digital ID cards? Right now they are being issued by third parties such as VeriSign and other companies. But Bill Jones, California's secretary of state, thinks he has a better idea: the Department of Motor Vehicles. A committee of the California State Assembly is slated to examine that idea this week.

It's unfortunate that Tim May's social interactions (read: working
in an office) were terminated by too much money, because he sorely
needs some real world experience to avoid going wacky.
I've worked with plenty of blacks, and I've never heard them call
each other "nigger", which Mr. May is apparently unable to spell.
Given May's aversion to minorities ("When I saw a sign in Spanish
I knew it was time to move"), it's unlikely he heard such himself
on the street. Occasionally it is heard during comedy shows (Richard
Pryor, Whoopi Goldberg).
Other than that, how does he come up with such a statement?
Answer: his use of language is similar to Louis Farakkan, who
said "Hitler was a great man". Bucannan sympathizes: after all,
they are "technically accurate" because they _meant to say_ that
the German people thought Hitler was a great man.
So, without actually stepping up to the plate and saying he
thinks blacks are disgusting creatures, one gets statements
like: ~"I've never understood why they're not called niggers".
Not only is there no crypto-relevance to this hateful crap,
it's hateful crap. The cypherpunks are saddled with this asshole.
This is the same rich weirdo (RHPS ;-) who thought civilization
might collapse at Y2K, and started burying gold in the ground.
What May is doing here with this crap is a puzzle.
Perhaps he just can't shut up about his hate for minorities.
