downfall of one of
Oregon's most influential politicians, helped foster
a public backlash

silence,
favoritism, and

Secret Service Using Distributed
Computing to Break Encryption
Secret Service Using Distributed
Computing to Break Encryption
03/29/2005 02:55 PMThe Washington Post has an interesting story
about how the Secret Service is using 4,000 of their computers in a
Distributed network attack. The attack is to break passwords on
encryption keys. We all know that getting software to encrypt our
computers is simple and the software is powerful. Breaking into the
encryption itself is not simple but the Secret Service has found that
the real Achilles Heel of a suspect’s encrypted computer is
their passwords. The Secret Service has found that by using all the
emails and plain text documents they find on the suspect's computers,
they can create a brute force word list that will normally find the
password for the encryption in no time at all. Lesson learned? Create
strong passwords unrelated to anything on your computer. Here is more
from the article…
Hansen said AccessData has learned through feedback with its
customers in law enforcement that between 40 and 50 percent of the
time investigators can crack an encryption key by creating word lists
from content at sites listed in the suspect's Internet browser log or
Web site bookmarks. "Most of the time this happens the password
is some quirky word related to the suspect's area of interests or
hobbies," Hansen said.
Hansen recalled one case several years ago in which
police in the United Kingdom used AccessData's technology to crack the
encryption key of a suspect who frequently worked with horses. Using
custom lists of words associated with all things equine, investigators
quickly zeroed in on his password, which Hansen says was some obscure
word used to describe one component of a stirrup.

Xeni Jardin:
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation and is
demanding records related to an indymedia.org post which expressed
anti-RNC sentiment and listed the names of some 2,200 individual RNC
delegates. More on indymedia's site
here<
/a>, and here's a snip from a related ACLU pre
ss release:
In a letter sent today in response to a grand jury subpoena issued by
the Secret Service, the American Civil Liberties Union and the New
York Civil Liberties Union said they are representing a web hosting
service and administrators of an independent media website regarding
the anonymous posting of publicly available information about
delegates to the Republican National Convention. The groups said the
investigation is but the latest example of government agencies using
law enforcement powers to chill free speech and intimidate protesters.
(...) Beeson added that the posting did not include anything remotely
threatening, but involved political speech fully protected by the
First Amendment.

This item should not contain forbidden
speech
06/22/2005 01:54 AMRemember Microsoft's marketing blitz for Windows, when they asked,
"Where do you want to go today?" Apparently, they didn't mean China.
At least not without a thorough baggage search. And, perhaps a
Communist Party membership card.
It seems that along with the viruses and bugs that plaque the Windows
operating system throughout the United States, Chinese users have a
whole other set of barricades to work around when surfing the net or
logging their thoughts online.
Microsoft has taken to following in the steps of Yahoo! and Google —
who each succumbed to the pressures of the Chinese government and
censored their search engines from displaying "illegal" or
"subversive" sites, and skewed results to reflect only those
sympathetic to the government. For example, searching for "Free Tibet"
produces no results, while a search for "independence Taiwan" shows
only sites which are critical of the country’s government, not its
oppressive neighbor, according to reports.
Microsoft's efforts to censor the Chinese public are a bit more
egregious, however. BBC reports that the computer giant has gone as
far as censoring thoughts, along with information: "Weblog entries on
some parts of Microsoft's MSN site in China using words such as
'freedom,' 'democracy' and 'demonstration' are being blocked.
"Those using these banned words or writing entries that are
pornographic or contain sensitive information get a pop-up warning
that reads: 'This message contains a banned expression, please delete
this expression,'" the report adds.
I've never really been one to buy into the whole dark side argument.
Just because a company has a near-monopoly on its particular niche
doesn't necessarily make it evil. But censorship and aligning itself
with an oppressive regime, giving into political pressure to make a
few extra bucks and deliberately sacrificing ethics for market share
dominance most certainly does.
But perhaps it's not entirely Microsoft’s fault. After all, they have
an obligation to bring its product to all countries of the world, and
as the company says, it "abides by the laws and regulations of each
country in which it operates." Money and shareholders have the
ultimate say, and ethics can hardly compete with the almighty dollar,
especially in such a heavily populated regime, despite its system of
government.
But on the other hand, China needs Microsoft, too, perhaps just as
much. So, couldn't Bill Gates order his overseas counterparts to stand
up to an oppressive regime, one which doesn't just censor, but also
punishes supposed wrong-doers for publishing such forbidden verbiage?
According to the Taipei Times, a Chinese journalist who wrote against
corruption recently "was beaten and had some fingers hacked off. That
writer will never type again. Another received a long prison sentence,
just for sending an e-mail."
It's a vicious regime, and Microsoft has played right into it,
mindlessly falling in line when apparently threatened with a boycott.
The Internet is one of the greatest communication tools available and
should be treated as such. With a simple no, Microsoft could have
solidified that universal doctrine and solidified the Web as a bastion
of truth and free speech,
Instead, for one corner of the world, it's been made far less
worldwide.
