Wiretapping the Web
08/15/2004 01:28 PMA thought-provoking piece from Newsweek's Brian Braiker on the trend
toward increased web surveillance:
[T]wo recent legal developments have raised further fears among Web
privacy advocates in the United States. In one case, the Federal
Communications Commission voted 5-0 last week to prohibit businesses
from offering broadband or Internet phone service unless they provide
Uncle Sam with backdoors for wiretapping access. And in a separate
decision last month, a federal appeals court decided that e-mail and
other electronic communications are not protected under a strict
reading of wiretap laws. Taken together, these decisions may make it
both legally and technologically easier to wiretap Internet
communications, some legal experts told NEWSWEEK. "All the trends are
toward easier to tap," says Kevin Bankston, an attorney at the
nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The FCC's plans to require Internet-based phone and broadband services
to be engineered for easy wiretapping is a response to a request from
the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies. The proposal would bring
Internet-based phone providers in line with the Communications
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which requires
"telecommunications" carriers to make their networks wiretap-friendly.
The FCC says the government must still go through all of the necessary
legal steps to obtain the authority to wiretap; CALEA simply makes it
technologically easier to do. "This will not have an effect on whether
there is appropriate lawful authority -- that remains the same," says
FCC spokesman Julius Knapp. "All this really is addressing is whether
the carrier is required to have the capability to provide the
information that's covered by a court order."

09/27/2004 12:33 AMUS Federal law requires that phone companies etc make available
provisions so Law enforcement can wiretap lines when they have a court
order. Currently their are no provisions or if their are they are not
being talked about for Law enforcement to tap VOIP conversations.
I imagine that those that are involved in criminal activity are
smart enough to realize this and are probably exploiting the
technology. With all of the data transmission methods now though I
wonder at what point does it become unfeasible for law enforcement to
do their job properly. Kind of scary but all we can hope is that they
at least attempt to keep up with technology to protect the citizens of
this country. [The Register]

Easier Dynamic Win32 API
Easier Dynamic Win32 API
04/11/2005 05:42 AM
When Win32 API first came out, it wasn't sprawled out like it is
now. As it
expanded (exploded) in spurts across versions, architectures, and
service packs, Windows
developers had to deal increasingly with the headaches from the
need to take advantage
of latest features without crippling their software with older
Windows.
While one could now use deferred library loading creatively to
address this problem,
I've always handled it with manual LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress
calls. Well,
I finally got tired of doing this so I tried the handy LateLoad,
a small MFC-style event framework-like macros that creates a C++
class for each library
and a C++ method for each procedure. Very nice.
Here is the LateLoad definitions for a set of Win32 functions one
needs to enumerating
running processes and modules across Win32 versions.
