Auditors Release Verified Repositories of TrueCrypt
Trailrunner7 writes: As the uncertainty surrounding the end of TrueCrypt continues, members of the security community are working to preserve a known-good archive of the last version of the open source encryption software released before the developers inserted a warning about potential unfixed bugs in the software and ended development.
The message that the TrueCrypt posted about the security of the software also was included in the release of version 7.2a. The OCAP team decided to focus on version 7.1a and created the verified repository by comparing the SHA2 hashes with files found in other TrueCrypt repositories. So the files are the same as the ones that were distributed as 7.1a. "These files were obtained last November in preparation for our audit, and match the hash reported by iSec in their official report from phase I of the audit," said Kenn White, part of the team involved in the TrueCrypt audit.

I was once the victim of a man in the middle attack.
It was a dark and stormy evening at a dork convention called DEF CON. I was standing in the hall, minding my own business. Suddenly, the lights went out. While I reoriented myself, the awful thing happened. I felt a fetid cock get shoved up my no-no hole! It caught me off guard, but the stimulation on my prostate was making my penis erect.
Then, a bright light illuminated in front of me. Off in the distance. Like a tunnel of light during a near-death experience. Something from hell began running toward me. This was four-eyed dork monster dork that was running backwards toward me like something out of a horror movie. But his head was on backwards! So I could do nothing but stare him in the eyes as he smirked gleefully at me.
You can imagine what happened next. BAM! My penis was rammed up his fetid anus. "NOOOOO!" I shouted. I remembered an SSL certificate warning when I entered the building. My oh my, how I wish I hadn't ignored it...
