I, for one, do believe that: when a user of xs4all in the Netherlands published a copy of the German forbidden radical-left magazine Radikal on his homepage, the German government instituted a ban to all of xs4all from Germany, which got widespread implementation, thereby also banning access to Dutch writer Karin Spainks anti-Scientology pages one the same site. So I don't see why a ban on Windoze Y2K would not be similarly accepted and followed. xs4all sued, but I can't remember the outcome.

Here is a complaint by U.S. District Judge James M. Ideman about Scientologist harrassment.

An internal document describing "Operation Freak-Out", A plan to discredit and ultimately have Paula Cooper committed for exposing Scientology practices

Another internal document describing "Operation:Freakout"

"Operation Snow-White", a systematic attempt to infiltrate and steal classified files on Scientology from governments all around the world. It was exposed by the FBI and led to several arrests.

There is sooo much more, but I'll leave it at that for now. Your beloved Xenu certainly works in mysterious ways...

There's some pretty wacky stuff in here, and it makes you wonder about some of the celebrities who believe this stuff like John Travolta and Tom Cruise. Of course, they probably haven't reached a sufficient level of mind-control to be fed this stuff yet..

Anyway, enuff talk the Sacred Scriptures are here

Scientology is definetly not something to laugh. My ISP has been in court with them since 1995 and the battle continues...
See this page for a list of what happened until now.

They still continue to call themselves a religion. Critics say the reason for that is only tax. The Scientology movement is considered a criminal organisation in several Europe countries, and in Germany members are not allowed to do any work for the state...

• The Question. More or less content-free.
• Some info, some questions.
• Some answers to the above questions. Like, FreeSwan no longer supports plain DES; you have to use 3DES. And, "Manual-key setup has to be done on *both* ends"
• This guy is willing to pay for help.
• Assload of debugging data, from Interop setup.

• Here is a list of Checkpoint partners and things that work with a Checkpoint firewall. Not comprehensive.
• OPSEC ("Open Platform for Security")site. Stuff that works with Firewall-1 and other OPSEC-compliant firewalls. I don't know if there are any besides FW-1.
• IPSec for FreeBSD
• Some IPSec software from MIT
• The people who make SSH also have IPSec/IKE products.

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

For those Amiga people who feel left out, there's an amiga JFS. It's very stable, and very fast.
The web site also includes a good, easy to understand graphical guide on the inner workings of the filesystem


Check out www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/

Actually that's not true - according to the 9th law of Cartoon Physics, "Everything falls faster than an anvil."

From what I've read, and further extrapolated, even-numbered layers of crypto (2DES, 6DES, 8-Blowfish, etc...) are (or may be) vulnerable to meet-in-the-middle attacks that take only a little more time than (N-1)Algorithm and maybe 2{Algorithm}. I don't know if this makes the risk terribly significant for [468..]DES/Blowfish since I'm not a crypto expert.

http://www.inet-one.com/cypherpunks/dir.95.10.25-9 5.10.31/msg00136.html has a little bit about MITM and 2DES.

The FreeS/WAN project has a more explicit explanation: http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan/freeswan_trees/free swan-1.00/doc/glossary.html#meet on MITM attacks and what it entails.

-Paul

To my interested layman's point of view, the key issue in strong crypto is not (or rather is no longer) development and is now adoption. PGP was a big step in the right direction, but not enough. Now that we have practical strong crypto on the desktop, where do we go from here to insure its adoption as the expected way to do communications on networks?

Do you have any thoughts on projects such as FreeS/WAN which are strategically aimed in that direction?

Nugget94M asks:

You! Reading this article! Do you use ssh and pgp?
No!

If not, why not?

Because ssh is non-free, and pgp is patent encumbered. Why use that when there are excellent Free alternatives, such as:
SSLrsh
SSL-MZtelnet
gpg

S/WAN is another reason too, it's designed for the 2.0 series kernel, and is unlikely to work with the 2.2 series for a while yet.

In short though, the point with linux kernels is usually "do I *need* to upgrade?" rather than "why *shouldn't* I upgrade?"
--

If you want to use FreeS/WAN (an IPSEC implementation on top of Linux for building secure VPN's), you'll
have to grab 2.0.3x because the package hasn't been ported to Kernel 2.2.x yet.

Paulão

From http://www.xs4all .nl/~freeswan/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.00/INSTALL :

FreeS/WAN does NOT work with 2.2.xx kernels yet, and fixing that is not simple.

Has this changed? I've been interested in trying it out, but the fact that "2.0.36 only!" is plastered all over the site and documentation kept me from looking at it more than cursorily. I wound up using tunnelvision for now, which is probably equally as difficult to intercept (and a fsck-load easier to set up, from the look of the freeswan docs!) although not necessarily as strong in terms of authentication.

If so, what's the lowdown on getting it to work in a 2.2 kernel environment?

Just a thought - it hasn't crashed yet on my amiga, and I'm using an early beta from ages ago, and I delibrately tested it by power cycling in the middle of lots of writes on several occasions.
It's great to never have to use l:disk-validator (amiga fsck) again ( o.k, ok. it's in ROM, not l: on all Amigas above 1.3, but hey...)

The website has an exceptionally clear discription of how the filesystem has been implemented. It's 64-bit, using the NSD (New Style Device)API.

It's also free.

here's the site :
www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/



In the interest of /. effect minimisation,
the feature list is duplicated here:

(Note that some of the things described are amiga-specific. The dos.library limitation, in particular, is irrelevant to linux, and probably to future amigas, too. The 2GB max single file size limitation arises from the amiga's incomplete transition to 64-bit APIs - CBM went bust as the NSD spec was released, and, once again, may not be relevant to a linux implementation)



This page gives you an overview of what SFS is capable of. It will also give you an idea what features we are planning to add in the near future in planned features, and what features we are considering later on.

Features
Below you'll find a list of features which are already implemented in SFS.

Fast reading of directories.
Fast seeking, even in extremely large files.
Blocksizes of 512 bytes up to 32768 bytes (32 kB) are supported.
Supports large partitions. The limit is about 2000 GB, but it can be more depending on the blocksize.
Support for partitions larger than 4 GB or partitions located (partially) beyond the 4 GB barrier on your drive. There is support for New Style Devices (NSD) which support 64 bit access, the 64-bit trackdisk commands and SCSI direct.
The length of file and directory names is internally limited only by blocksize. Limitations in the dos.library however will reduce the effective length of file and directory names to about 100 characters.
The size of a file in bytes is limited to slightly less than 4 GB. Because of limitations in dos.library we will however probably not allow files larger than 2 GB, to avoid potential problems.
Modifying data on your disk is very safe. Even if your system is resetted, has crashed or experienced a powerloss than your disk will not be corrupted and will not require long validation procedures before you will be able to use it again. In the worst case you will only lose the last few modifications made to the disk. See Safe writing for detailed information on how this works.
To be able to ensure that your disk never gets corrupted we use an internal caching system which keeps track of modifications before writing them to disk. This cache has the additional benefit that creating and copying files can be a lot faster, especially if the drive used isn't very fast (ZIP & floppy drives for example).
There is a built-in low-level read-ahead cache system which tries to speed up small disk accesses. This cache has as a primary purpose to speed up directory reading but also works very well to speed up files read by applications which use small buffers.
Disk space is used very efficiently. See the Space efficiency page for a comparison between a few filesystems.
Supports notification and Examine All.
Supports Soft links (hard links are not supported for now).
Using the SFSformat command you can format your SFS partition with case sensitive or case insensitive file and directory names. Default is case insensitive (like FFS).
There is a special directory which contains the last few files which were deleted. See deldir.
Planned features
The list of planned features below are features which are either already in development or are very likely to be added to the filesystem in the near future.

Multiuser support.
Built-in background file and free space defragmenter. Already the filesystem is set up in such a way to allow for easy implementation of this feature without having to do extensive scanning of the disk before the defragmenter can begin. This means defragmenting can be done in the background and can be interrupted at any time (even by a reset, crash or power failure) without loss of data.
Mirroring of important filesystem administration blocks to make the filesystem more robust.
Features we are considering
The features below are either features which are very application specific or not used very often. If there is enough demand for some of these features we will consider implementing them in the filesystem.

Mirroring of complete partitions. Such a feature would not only ensure that all your data is very safe since everything is stored twice on two different drives, but it will also speed up multiple concurrent read accesses since both drives can be used to deliver data. This feature however normally is only used on mission critical systems (like file servers) and would be of little use on systems not equipped with high speed SCSI controllers.
Support for striping. To put it simply, striping can be used to distribute data to multiple drives which increases the total available bandwidth as each disk will be used simultaneously to access part of the data. If you for example have 2 drives than with striping all odd blocks of 64 kB would be stored on drive 1, and all even blocks of 64 kB would be stored on drive 2. A similair scheme is used with more than 2 drives. With striping there is also an option to use one of the drives as a parity drive. If one of the drives crashes or becomes unuseable than the data on that drive can be reconstructed using the remaining drives which ensures that your data is very safe. However, although it may seem that striping could speed up disk accesses by a factor of 2 or more, this is usually only the case when working with very large video streams or multi user systems. Under normal conditions you will be hard pressed to find any speed gains at all.
Support for hard links (soft links are already implemented).
The ability to extend a partition without having to copy all your data and format the partition.
New DOS packets. There are lots of ways to exploit the ability of a filesystem better than is possible at the moment. New packets are the key to this. For example, support for paths larger than 255 characters, live directories (directories which are updated in realtime), enforcing recordlocking and many more. This however must be a team effort and we'll need support from writers of important applications and people willing to build new interfaces to access these new abilities.

SFS is a free implementation of a "cursed l:disk-validator"-free filesystem for the amiga. disk-validator is the equivalent of fsck, but for amiga OFS and FFS. In later amiga models, it was in rom rather than in l:

SFS uses the 64-bit Amiga New Style Device (NSD) API that was published a while after CBM went belly-up, and claims to support up to 2000 GB partitions, though limitations in the current dos.library prohibit individual files > 2GB long (note to linux-people: this is not a limitation of the filesystem itself, just the amiga's antiquated 32-bit dos.library v40.x (yes, the amiga version numbering conventions are a little different to linux))

It's available from the link below. This site also has a remarkably easy to follow description of how the filesystem actually works, including some rather good diagrams.


http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/

I've been using it for some time now, on my poor lonely old 68060 amiga (that sits next to my linux-x86 box) and it's wonderfully fast compared to amiga-ffs, more space efficient, and I've deliberately punished it by turning the computer off in the middle of writes, without any loss of data coherency, and pretty much immediate boot-up afterward.

It will also support the (relatively little-used) amiga multiuser filesystem bits+pieces, too! ( thus making a linux implementation even more useful - it could be used as a native partition with no loss of functionality)

It actually seems to work better than the current ext2fs, IMHO, despite being nominally a late beta.
It would be great if some linux next-gen filesystem developers were to at least look at the site, if only to make sure SFS hasn't got anything
they haven't thought of.

Now, how about a linux implementation ???

Anyone have any opinion of SFS on the amiga ?
Would it be at all useful for linux stuff - most of the problems it addresses are amiga-specific, but some of it is interesting from a linux perspective too. It seems to be a journalling FS which uses extents, and never invalidates as such ( the bane of amiga FFS users - l:disk-validator kicks in on bootup, a bit like fsck, and there's no stopping it...) They're working on merging the amiga mufs v2 spec( multi-user filesystem) into it too...
