Anonymous, People's Liberation Front Build Anonymous Data-Sharing Site
suraj.sun writes with these snippets from an article at Ars Technica: "Hacker group Anonymous and the People's Liberation Front have created a data-sharing site called AnonPaste.tk, meant to host pastes of code and other messages without any moderation or censorship of the information posted. The new site, which uses a free .tk web address, allows users to set a time for the paste to expire. It claims that data is encrypted and decrypted in the browser using 256 bit AES, so the server doesn't see any of the information included in the paste.The site says it's taking donations in the form of WePay or BitCoins. ... AnonPaste is built using open-source software called ZeroBin, created by French developer Sebastien Sauvage. According to Infoweek Sauvage has experience in creating online authentication systems for French banks, suggesting the creator knows a thing or two about encryption of data. Still, on the software's information page, Sauvage reminds potential users that ZeroBin software can not protect against potential Javascript attacks. 'Users still have to trust the server regarding the respect of their privacy,' he says. 'ZeroBin won't protect the users against malicious servers.'"
Not that I trust so-called "Anonymous" in any way, shape or form, but I trust governments even less
This site will get it's domain removed faster than I can post this comment. The .tk admins have a long history of blatantly removing anything that might cause trouble, are porn and/or hijacking domains that are popular. Great choice there, indeed.
I am NOT about to let you or your anonymous friends run JavaScript in my browser. No. That would compromise my security. The idea outlined in the summary sounds good, but the JavaScript-based implementation is bad. EPIC FAIL. Think of the Tor-users! They are not about to let their anonymity go by submitting to the evil JavaScript World Order.
9/11: Never forget it was a false-flag operation
...we already have lots of ways to do this. We can encrypt and post to Usenet. We can use extensions like FireGPG to encrypt on post to websites. So why use a system where we place all our trust in the service provider, which is both theoretically risky and has failed in the past:

It claims that data is encrypted and decrypted in the browser using 256 bit AES, so the server doesn't see any of the information included in the paste.
And where does the key come from? If from the server, then the data is not encrypted at all.

Well, Anonymous is going to start their OWN pastebin! With hookers! And blackjack!
Sorry, the whole story doesn't make much sense. If anyone can access the pastebin, then anyone can see its contents, including the server, no matter how encrypted the data is stored on it. If not anyone can access the server then it's not a public pastebin, but an encrypted fileserver and whoever accesses it would need to password first.
Isn't "peoples" and "libertarian" together a contradiction? Most forms of "libertarianism" appear to me to be "I'm all right Jack and the people can just go and suffer if they didn't manage to get rich".

"liberty" and "libertarian" are separate concepts.
oh, I thought Palestinians did it!
the "People's Liberation Front", which no one has ever heard of till now, can be easily mistaken for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Actually I'd say piratepad is slightly better.
I suspect that it was because .tk is free... If they wanted to pay for a domain, then some Anonymous member would likely have to give up some personal details... (Disclaimer, haven't read TFA so what I said could be complete bull.)
But since they aren't giving us detailed technical specifications we "experts" cannot check it to determine what those problems might be. I'd like to discuss the technical specifications but I would think something like this would have to be set up with a special protocol and decentralized DNS. I would expect it to be on the darknet.
Trying another false-flag operation? Going for #Anti-Sec 2?
It's not that simple although I do see your point considering Sabu was their snitch. I doubt the FBI infiltrated the PLF though. PLF are far more skilled and very much professionals.
I'll say it again, anyone who actually has a need to use encryption of this sort properly would need specialized skills to begin with. The PLF is not going to provide any sort of training. So basically if you have a need to use this then you already know how to become Anonymous on the internet. If you don't then you shouldn't be using something like this in the first place.
And no I don't think it's about the FBI because there are intelligence agencies all around the world other than the FBI who wont like this either. It's all the global government agencies that will hate this in general. It's global government agencies vs Anonymous.
According to what Pastebin says about Anonpaste just using Anonpaste could mean you have something to hide and if you have something to hide it means you need to be investigated.
Although Anonymous has used the news of AnonPaste to taunt Pastebin, Vader isn't worried about the popularity of his own site. He does see problems with the general idea of the new paste site though. "Having this new anonymous paste service online will most likely mean that less 'sensitive information' is posted on Pastebin.com, which we like," Vader told Ars, "But we think this new totally anonymous Paste site will be used mainly by people who have something to hide, people who are posting things that really shouldn't be posted. We see no benefit for normal legitimate users to use it over the currently existing paste websites. We are afraid that this site will be bombarded with people's personal information, credit-card details, and things such as child pornography."
If you use Anonpaste then the governments will claim you're a credit card thief, a child pornography, or a terrorist, because why else would you want to use something like Anonpaste?
My advice is don't post on Anonpaste. Read Anonpaste but don't post a damn thing. If someone really knows what they are doing they probably don't need Anonpaste but if they somehow did then they weighed the risks already.
Would that be the Peoples Liberation front of Judea or the Judean Peoples Liberation Front?
Only in the US has the word "libertarian" been co-opted by the free-market uber alles, Ayn Rand worshiping, "I've got mine so fuck you!" crowd.
In the rest of the world, the word "libertarianism" is quite similar in meaning to "anarchism". In fact, many anarchists (including Noam Chomsky) use the term "libertarian socialism" to describe their philosophy, as the term "anarchism" has been tainted with connotations of rioting, looting, burning police cars, and punk-rock wannabees.
Remember "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters"? Help make it a reality again! http://soylentnews.org
libertaianism (lower case L) is a left-wing socialist anarchist movement/ philosophy that has a long history, the world over.
Libertarianism (upper case L) is a, recently created, right-wing political party in the United States that has almost nothing in common with libertarianism as the entire world uses the term.
The confusion was probably accidental. Since Americans are so poorly educated / unaware of history (even their own), someone probably just thought libertarian sounded good and took it, not understanding what it currently meant, nor its long history.
*disclaimer, I am a U.S. citizen.
where does the decrypting code come from?
lets assume an attacker has the server under his control. he will not only be able to modify the scripts to send the content of the decrypted paste back, he can even send the entered password to the server.
so its still more insecure than crypting off-browser and pasting it then. But better an encryption, which is secure most the time, than no attempt at all. You can just not guarantee, it will be encrypted or safe. So do not use it, if you know better. But encourage people who have the options to use it or do not encrypt at all, to use it.
I thought most of anonymous was in prison after that last big bust a month or two ago. Didn't even know they were still operating.
... the Judean People's Front?
But in case of the latter, it was but a drop in the ocean. Quite frankly I believe highly publicised busts like that only serve to strengthn Anonymous "member-wise".
Can someone please tell me what's supposed to be so politically edgy about creating yet another disordered, unregulated system?
That kind of jumbling and lack of accountability is pretty much the problem with our political system, and yet Anonymous sells it as subversive and avant-garde. It's not.
Then when you ask Anonymous what it thinks it's trying to accomplish, rather than sending you a sheaf of redacted government memos they just tell you, "There is no such thing as Anonymous." If life were a party, Anonymous would be the geeky attention-seeking teen off in the corner snorting handfuls of GHB.
It'd be nice if groups "there's no such thing as" didn't make headlines so often. I can't take them seriously.

SPLITTER!
By disallowing adbanners & javascript (where unnecessary), plus plugins I don't need? They're ALL "power-saving webpages" for me (as well as faster, & more secure).
Additionally? Since I use what's below, I get there FASTER, SAFER, & just overall, better + more reliably...
APK
P.S.=> How? Simple: The custom hosts file I utilize for one!
Combine it with judicious layered security measures like cutting the indiscriminate usage of javascript (especially where I don't need it, & same with plugins like FLASH?) - you get what I get - Faster, Safer, & better reliability (even a bit better 'anonymity' vs. tracking + DNS request logs).
My hosts file current has 1,772,964++ entries, vs. known bad host-domain names (which IS the majority of what you use, hence the DNS system itself being in place, faults & all, as well as malware makers because these are RECYCLABLE, & the RBN was doing it like mad) & growing CONSTANTLY via a DelphiXE2 64-bit system I've rewritten for the 5th time since late 2003!
That, & then even "layering in 'defense-in-depth'": AdBlock addons for FireFox + Opera, IE TPL's for IE...
(Even though they're less efficient than a hosts file which is merely a filter for the IP stack running in PnP designed Ring 0/ RPL 0/kernelmode vs. browser addons running as 'extra-weight' on usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 webbrowsers)...
HOWEVER - AdBlock can't:
---
1.) Speedup my access to sites that are my favs. as hosts can via "hardcoding" those favs entries in it
2.) Adblock won't protect external to browser email programs (like Outlook) either...
3.) Neither can firewalls on #1...
---
Anyhow/anyways:
Between those 3 measures (custom hosts files & using javascript + plugins where needed only & judiciously)?
I am NOT 'burning more power, CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O (as a local DNS program would (faults in recursive mode especially) OR a separate system doing so - and of course, I get there faster, safer, & more reliably!
"Nothing rides for free", but when I have 'passengers' that set the rest of my 'riders' @ risk, or suck up power they could use too? OUT THE DOOR THEY GO... as dead-weight - hence no local DNS server running here (no thanks, I've seen TOO MUCH of them being DNS-poisoned redirected)... but?

"Don't worry, we'd expect a kook who advocates the use of hosts files to "block malware"" - by Anonymous Coward on Monday April 23, @07:59AM (#39769305)
Hosts files work for that, because the majority of what malware makers use IS host-domain names (because they are recyclable, the RBN was notorious for it in fact).
Hosts files also get you speed back that you pay for, and far more (not just functioning for extra layered security).
QUESTION: How often do you see an IP address in the address bar in your webbrowsers, or in emails?? Perhaps 1/2 of 1% of the time, IF THAT???
When you do, doesn't that signal "warning" to you???? It ought to... & then, if they're bogus, add them to a firewall rules table. Pretty simple...
HOWEVER: Hosts files work vs. known bad hosts-domains, and they can do things firewalls & adblock can't, like:
---
1.) Speedup access to your fav. sites via hardcodes of your fav. sites & blocking adbanners
2.) Circumvent DNSBL's if unjust
3.) Get you past tracking like DNS request logs & other trackers online too!

(Some "exchange expert", eh? Not... that happens, due to memory fragmenation, which after a memory optimizer runs, the memory mgt. subsystem will reload the data from pagefile.sys into CONTIGUOUS BLOCKS, stopping that from happening...)
Funniest part is, Microsoft's OWN TOOL, clearmem.exe, which functions the same as a GUI memory optimizer, was the tool noted to do it!
LOL!
You had better find "better experts" to refer to... lol!
Jay Little, after THAT? He ran... well, not until he tried trolling me on another website NTCompatible.com & I blew him away on SSD/Ramdisks, and IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO stopcode on BSODs... that means either a driver or hardware failure.. he blew it on THAT too!

2.) Libelled myself making 'songs' & edited 'pictures' of me
3.) Email harassed me repeatedly, and was put on a tracking ticket for email harassment by his ISP Shaw of Canada

Including whether your "expert" Thor Schmuck has a CSC degree or not, and ask him WHY "Spybot 'Search & Destroy'" isn't flagged as a malware by CA
(Well, was, because they got SOLD OFF, lol... so much for your "experts" (not) again)
OR, why PING isn't (because in version of many OS' it can issue a "ping of death" but this is largely corrected in newer OS versions of it)!
I asked him that, he avoided it & shut up... lol, so much for your "expert" (wannabe is more like it).
After all - 1 of the questions in Computer Associates database for removal in the 21 questions I passed, is does the program ALTER THE HOSTS FILE!
SpyBot 'Search & Destroy' does that very thing but is not 'flagged' as a malware (but for good reasons, as does my soon to be released "APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++" from the malwarebytes/hpHosts sites (nice guys, fun to work with, ESPECIALLY Mr. Steven Burn!))
Besides the day that GOOF Schrock can show he has not only has a CSC degree, but some professional world-class Fortune 500 coding &/or network engineer/admin experience OR things like I have done (would you like to see a SMALL PARTIAL LIST of my favs? Ask!)? Is the day you can call "your hero" an expert in computing!

Hey - @ least he did THAT - he has class... Jay "fatboy" Little doesn't & got severely BURNED for it. Served him right, he brought it on himself.
However, Dr. Mark's SUPPOSED to know the OS inside-out, & is often referred to as such...
(Certainly as a PhD, & not to hardcode as well being a doctor of computing, literally...!)
However... then, I blew his doors out for attacking a class of apps I wrote the 1st GUI model of!
Bigtime... absolutely.
See - PhD's don't matter to me, I take them on & dust them too... Especially when I can PROVE I am literally correct! And, I did... bigtime, see the link on Jay Little... lol!
(MS did one before it in character mode, clearmem.exe, that is proven to unfragment RAM & get stalled or lagged Exchange Servers working again without reboots - which is part of how I absolutely "DUSTED" Blimp-Boy Jay Little, to which all he has now is a lot of "b.s." on his personal website... lol!)
* HOWEVER - Unlike Jay Little? Well... Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft I respect though!
I even wished him well @ MS after that fiasco @ Windows IT Pro -> http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2006/07/18/on-my-way-to-microsoft.aspx because he created ProcessExplorer (I can't & won't disrespect a guy that does that).

Ahem - BULLSHIT:
"I've explained how HOSTS files do not block IP addresses or dynamically generated hosts names" - by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday April 24, @11:35AM (#39782485)
QUESTION: Did I EVER say they blocked IP addresses? No...
QUESTION: Do you know that I feed in bogus DNS servers into my hosts file, along with between a minimum typically of 50 to a current maximum of 5,000 bogus hosts/domains daily?
I get them fed to me by the program I noted I wrote, every 15 minutes (faster IF I wish)... & yes, as soon as 17++ reputable sources get them whom I receive said data from? I get them... it's THAT simple.
(It's "reactive technology", but FAR faster reacting than say, AntiVirus or AntiSpyware updates are, & it stops what people USE MOST (hence the existence of the FAULTY DNS SYSTEM itself): Hosts/Domain names...)

Good luck - I never did!
(Trying to put words in my mouth I never said, like your little impersonation of myself, not a 1st here by ANY means either? Piss poor... laughable!)
SECONDLY: See above, again - As soon as the 17++ sources I get my data from for blocking bogus hosts-domains comes in, which is every 15 minutes here? It adds into my custom HOSTS file, & overwrites the master + backup copies, instantly (even flushing to disk avoiding power outages via the FLUSH call for file I/O). Immediate commits...

Ahem: EVEN MORE BULLSHIT FROM YOU again (& this time I'll post a user who was being riddled by hundreds of them a month & isn't any longer, along with your "/. peers" and their opinions of HOSTS files efficacy on several grounds (speed, security, reliability AND even a bit more "anonymity" vs. trackings):

That's right - because hosts in terms of "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" ALONE (along with speed gains, reliability gains, & even "anonymity" gains vs. trackings) makes this SIMPLE PREMISE, the truth:
"You CAN'T GET BURNED, if you don't go into the malware kitchen..."

OK, I have been rereading this -> http://apk.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2802947&pid=39782485 and I may have been hasty.
I have never claimed that using hosts is a solution to spam and viruses and malware, but I can see that people would think that is what I've been saying.
I also see your point about Thor Schrock, although I suggest you READ http://www.thorschrock.com/2008/05/19/how-to-respond-when-people-threaten-to-sue-you-on-the-web/ and tell me whether Schrock is fair to call my software malware because he had an unrelated argument with me?
In any case, I am not going to use exactly your apology, but I think I owe everyone an explanation and maybe should say sorry for where I have let my anger get the better of me:
So...
* I understand my software "apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe" has been described by some groups as dangerous malware. I apologize for the anger I've expressed against those who have stated such opinions, I don't agree with them and feel it is unfair of them to call my software that, but I respect that they have different opinions.
* I have advised many people to use a customized "HOSTS" file to block malware and spam sites. Some people may have misunderstood my advice and be assuming I am saying HOSTS does more than it does. Sensible download and quarantine policies, as recommended and practiced by most computer professionals, will eliminate almost all threats, but HOSTS files can help reduce infections for people who don't understand that.
* I may also have recommended the use of HOSTS files for purposes that would introduce security risks and actually destabilize the networks on which they're used. In particular I happily withdraw the recommendation to cache commonly used website hostnames.
* I have frequently ignored good advice by demanding evidence of qualifications, demanding questions be answered when they have been, and otherwise ignoring the information given to me. I apologize sincerely for this. I apologize in particular to the legions of computer professionals, from Thor Schrock - who I may have used juvenile insults against, to (by inference) Bill Gates, a man whose decisions I might not always agree with, but who has proven himself time and time again to be a quality business and technology leader.
While we may continue to have disagreements, I recognize that my views may have been poorly expressed, and I sincerely apologize for my rudeness, my lack of respect, and the poor way in which I have handled myself, and I hope you will forgive me and give me a second chance to present my case.
Sincerely,
APK

The trolling ac knob also didn't realize webmasters warn users when IP address blocks change on their sites' pages before it happens, by email to their registered users, and that for a LONG time afterwards the old site has redirectors setup to the new IP address range.
