[liberationtech] Crypto Party 2017

[Yosem Companys]

Crypto Party: Thursday, January 26th, 5-7pm
A group of students in the UC Berkeley School of Information are hosting a
Crypto Party, a fun, informal event for teaching one another computer
security tools. The hosts provide the drinks, snacks and WiFi; attendees
come and learn how to protect yourself and others from hacking and
surveillance. Everyone can and should bring her own expertise, but the
hosts will go over encryption tools for email (PGP and Keybase), web
browsing (HTTPS and Tor), and chat (Signal, SMS). All are welcome,
regardless of affiliation or level of experience. Location: 210 South Hall,
Berkeley.

https://prism-break.org is a pretty long list, but I tend to really use it for 
the discussions that happen in the github issues. It's good to see people talk 
about various providers. For example, I always watch the issues / discussions 
around protonmail.

[liberationtech] Trump used psychometric big data profiling to win voters

[Bram Wets]

Hi all,

Did you see this?
Cambridge Analityca analyzes US citizens behavior by looking at their
Facebook activity for psychometric profiling helping Donald Trump to
victory.

A disturbing case of Big Data-driven targeted 'advertising' or 'behavioral 
change communication'.

[liberationtech] Private Information Sharing Protocol [P.I.S.P.] Requesting input, thoughts, comments.

[Yosem Companys]

From: CANNON *CIOTA *

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Title: Private Information Sharing Protocol [P.I.S.P.]
 Draft Version 1.1
  Author: Cannon Ciota  Created: 2017-01-21

 Abstract
Opt in method of using publicly accessible directories,
particularly namecoin, to list updatable information which
can only be viewed by authorized entities.

 Motivation
Primarily intended as a usecase for (but not limited to)
namecoin as a proposal for a standard allowing entries such
as contact information i.e. phone numbers, addresses, etc. to
be listed in a way that allows only authorized entities of the
entry owner's choice to be able to interpret such information.
Namecoin, a secure decentralized universal directory, is
great for binding a multitude of information to a single human
readable identity in such a way that is not only censorship
resistant, resilient, and verifiable, but also immune from
tampering. However, due to the public nature of blockchain,
what namecoin currently lacks in is a standard way to list
specific portions of an identity's datastore in a way which
allows sharing of such information to authorized entities only,
at the control and discretion of the identity owner.

  Specification
Each namecoin identity would have listed a public key, or
pointer to a public key of which the owner's namecoin client
software has a corresponding private key. This public/private
keypair would be used for this Private Information Sharing
Protocol, or P.I.S.P for short.  The public key would be
denoted in the standard namecoin JSON format using one of two
forms, embedded or as a pointer. A pointer would be useful
in scenarios in which a large key is used or if space within
the namecoin identity's limited size for data is scarce.

Examples

Embedded:
- -
 {
   "pisp-pub":"026D3CA82768BC8D8E512EC97DFFAA7CACD52FF913A66911CFF074172F3C
B0934E"
}

Pointer:
- 
{
  "pisp-point":
   {
"url":"http://cannon-ciota.bit/cannon-ciota_publickey.pisp;,
"fingerprint":"2BB515CD66E74E2845DC6494A5A22879"
   }
}

or optionally we can use a hashsum of the pointed file in case the
file contains more fields than just the public key, to allow for
future extensions to PISP proposed standard.

{
  "pisp-point":
   {
"url":"http://cannon-ciota.bit/cannon-ciota_publickey.pisp;,
"sha256":"5580aaa1a28145a1ec6c4136af58bdafb23fc13dbdb820ef1da7753e9f74
4f7d"
   }
}

Contents of cannon-ciota_publickey.pisp:
- 
 {
   "pisp-pub":"026D3CA82768BC8D8E512EC97DFFAA7CACD52FF913A66911CFF074172F3C
B0934E"
}

Whenever looking up someone’s PISP public key from their
namecoin identity, the client would first search for the
pisp-pub (PISP public key) field, and if not found will proceed
to search for the pointer field denoted as pisp-point (PISP
pointer). The PISP pointer field would have the location of the
public key used for PISP along with the fingerprint, or hashsum
of the pointed file. The contents of the file mentioned in the
pointer field would have the public key in the same JSON format
as would be if directly in the namecoin datastore. Reason why
is to allow the enabling of any future extensions to the PISP
proposed standard.  PISP would be opt in. To opt in one would
simply include a field in their namecoin identity to advertise
their PISP public key, using either pisp-pub or pisp-point.
For purpose of demonstration we will assume Alice and Bob both
have a PISP public key included in their namecoin ID. Bob
wants his phone number listed in his namecoin identity so
his contacts can reach him, even if his phone number changes
frequently. However Bob only wants specific contacts to know
his current personal phone number, and Bob may want a seperate
group of contacts to know his business phone number. Bob may
also have another phone number that is public. And so Bob's
phone entry in his namecoin ID might look like the following

{
   "phone":
   {
"pisp":"http://EXAMPLE.URL/bobs-phone.pisp;
   }
}

or for multiple phones

{
   "phone":
   {
"public":"+99 1234567890",
"business":
  {
"pisp":"http://EXAMPLE.URL/bobs-business-phone.pisp;
  },
"personal":
  {
"pisp":"http://EXAMPLE.URL/bobs-phone.pisp;
  }
   }
}

The .pisp file would have the relevant information but
encrypted to the pisp public key of each of the contacts Bob
authorizes to have access to such information. To prevent Bob's
connections from being revealed each encrypted data snippet

[liberationtech] Encryption products online database

[Yosem Companys]

From: Covertactions 

Hey everyone,

In case you are not aware I host an encryption software/hardware database
online. It allows searching by Type, Country, Cost, Open/Prop, Platform and
you can also add search terms or check to see if your product is listed.

I started this project back in April 2016. We visited everyone of the 852
sites listed to make sure it was an encryption product. So far the response
has been good. I got the idea after hearing the politicians and the media
give woefully incorrect info on the availability of encryption software. A
secondary reason was to make it easier to find what you are looking for
without trudging through search engines.

We still have only scratched the surface I think. The products listed are
the low hanging fruit. Next we'll trudge through search engines looking for
any more. I also hope to improve the site because I'm not really happy with
the limitations of search. But I through it up fast with Wordpress just to
get something up.

Check it out. I hope it's useful to everyone. BTW we currently have 51
developer tools listed.

[liberationtech] Stanford CTF Orientation

[Yosem Companys]

From: Applied Cybersecurity 

Hey all!

If you're interested in cybersecurity competitions, but don't know where to
start, we're hosting a CTF orientation this Sunday!

Most of the competitions we do are Capture the Flags (CTFs), since they
usually have uncapped team sizes and are easy to do remotely. It's a bit
daunting to jump straight in to a full CTF, so we'll be hosting two
orientation sessions this quarter, where you can come try out an
introductory CTF, get a feel for the format, and get help solving the
problems.

We'll be hosting the first orientation this *Sunday, 1/29*, from *2 PM - 4
PM* in *Huang 305*. The second orientation will be in a few weeks, and
we'll be covering problems that are a bit trickier than in the first one.
CS107 or equivalent experience is strongly suggested. Bring a laptop!


​This guy only has one flag. Think about how happy you could be with a
dozen.

[F LM]

As much as I value privacy and I hate Facebook, I think your message contains 
critical fallacies on so many levels...

First, I'm not sure Mark Zuckerberg is a sociopath — and certainly I don't have 
any evidence to claim so.

Second, couldn't it be possible that the group simply was not reported (small 
group) and therefore not noticed until the transmission ended? We are just 
making assumptions here.

Third, are you suggesting Facebook should be permanently blocked?

I did, and saw this "Facebook Live also caught the aftermath of an
incident in which a police officer shot and killed a man in St Paul,
Minnesota in July 2016."

and then read this "Officer Who Shot Philando Castile Is Charged With
Manslaughter"
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/17/us/philando-castile-shooting-minnesota.html?_r=0

The likelihood that would have happened without the pressure that
happened due to Facebook Live is quite low.

If good people don't actively work to find empowering uses of
indifferent technology, then only the a-holes will have all the shiny
toys. 

Also live video streaming from personal mobile phones over the Internet
is not going anywhere, whether on Facebook or not. I suppose you could
just block all UDP packets on known streaming protocol ports, and do DPI
for HLS over HTTP, but that would start to get out of control a bit,
don't you think?

Re: [liberationtech] Boston event: How nonprofits can use Facebook to broadcast their impact??? (Feb 27th)

[Rich Kulawiec]

[ Yes, I know I'm following up my own message.  There's a reason. ]

Here's what Facebook Live did this week:

Facebook Live 'broadcasts gang rape' of woman in Sweden
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38717186

Police in Uppsala were contacted in the morning by a woman who
said she had seen a gang rape broadcast in a closed group on
the site.  "You have been raped," one of the men said at the
end of the video and then laughed, according to the viewer.
Police later confirmed they, and "many" others, had seen the
footage.  The Facebook group is said to have several thousand
members.  Police confirmed that they had found three men, aged
