Feds defend secret law with secret brief 09/21/2004 06:23 AM

Cory Doctorow: Bill sez, "The Justice Department continues to demand the right to file a secret brief in Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, a case that involves secret law. In response to a September 10th ruling by the 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals that rejected DOJ's attempt to file their arguments in secret, the DOJ filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider its decision."

Cory Doctorow: As part of the appeal on Apple's legal action to force websites that report on its new products to reveal their sources, Boing Boing will be signing onto a bloggers' "amicus brief." Our lawyer is Stanford's Lauren Gelman, and she needs your help for the brief. She writes:
"I need links to news stories broken by bloggers-- things a court can look at and say 'this looks like what we traditionally think of as journalism.' I am particularly interested in examples of stories based on sources, but any news will do. I will use these both as facts for the brief and I want to attach printouts from the blogs as attachments to it. I'm looking for as many as 50 examples, but I need at least 10."

We may soon know the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned the obituary of the elusive Deep Throat. There have been no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep Throat. And of course, any political conspiracy theory secret wouldn't be any fun without tying it back to Bush somehow.

WPA's Little Secret


WPA's Little Secret 11/04/2003 02:32 PM
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has a weakness: poorly chosen short human-readable passphrases can be cracked with a robust dictionary attack offline and without access to the network: Robert Moskowitz, the senior techncial director of TruSecure Corp.'s ICSA Labs, has given me permission to post this paper he has written that describes a weakness in the interface design for WPA-equipped access points and adapters. Robert's paper is rather technical and specific, but I can summarize: Short, text-based WPA keys can be broken through no fault in the WPA protocol. The longer summary: If you use the standard interface for WPA key entry and provide a text passphrase that uses words found in dictionaries of fewer than 20 characters, a cracker passively intercepting initial key exchange messages can employ an offline dictionary attack and extract the encryption key, gaining access to the network. Key exchange messages occur at the beginning of a connection between an adapter (station) and an access point; that exchange can be forced to repeat by a cracker sending a disassociate message which forces a new exchange within about 30 seconds. So a cracker can be on and off the network in a couple of minutes with the information they need. This is actually much worse than WEP, but easily solved. Robert points out that dictionary-based cracking programs abound, and that little modification would be needed to turn one of those into a weak-WPA-key attack. The fundamentals of WPA remain intact; this is technically an interface problem given that manufacturers know -- as he points out in his paper -- that users won't enter long keys. Microsoft solved this problem with their 128-bit WEP solution for their broadband gateway by writing the key to a floppy disk after it was generated, allowing users to walk the key from machine to machine. It should be made clear that WEP's flaw were deep within: WEP can be cracked regardless of how good your key selection is or how long the key. With WPA, the length of the passphrase and its quality has a direct relationship to its integrity. The problem Robert describes isn't unknown; he's just isolated and expanded on it. The solution is also quite simple: choose a key of at least 96 bits or a passphrase that includes gibberish that's more than 20 characters long. So far, of all the WPA interfaces that I've seen, only Apple's allows you...

Secret world of US jails 06/14/2004 04:15 PM
Secret world of US jails The United States government, in conjunction with key allies, is running an 'invisible' network of prisons and detention centres into which thousands of suspects have disappeared without trace since the 'war on terror' began. In the past three years, thousands of alleged militants have been transferred around the world by American, Arab and Far Eastern security services, often in secret operations that by-pass extradition laws. The astonishing traffic has seen many, including British citizens, sent from the West to countries where they can be tortured to extract information. Anything learnt is passed on to the US and, in some cases, reaches British intelligence.
