There is litle known about what happened. But at first the attack seems to be low technologie. Blade to destroy two towers and the pentagon.
Every body assume attack comes from a very powerfull organization, but could it be organized by a very little group of people (a dozen may be). This people are working in airports and some are pilots, and they just hacked security airport ? What could be their motivations ?
Also, I lived in France for a few years a while back and can tell you that they, too, have issues with nonconformity. When I was there a young girl who was Muslim was disciplined at school for wearing a headscarf because it identified her as Muslim. Jewish boys at school are not permitted to wear yarmulkes - again because it identifies them religiously. Many of the French people who I spoke with about the girl's headscarf were astonished that anyone would take exception to her being disciplined - they genuninely felt that this rule was there to protect the secular character of the school.
I think you missunderstood this event, we think in France that the religion is personnal and that you should not force other people in your religion when you're in school (it's public school where 90% of the students are). So you're not allowed to show distintive sign of your religion when you're in school it includes headscarf, kipa, cross... In the same way you're not allowed to critic in public any religion when you're in school.
When you're in obligation to get your seeds from a corporation because they sold you non reproductive seeds and that this seeds contamited all other plant around can we call it progress ?
When you have to buy your water because the natural one is so bad it can kill you can we call it progress ?
If tomorow we have to by your air beacause it will be polluate as well can we call it progress ?
Corporations will grow until they destroy the planet and the human kind only to be more profitable, there is no economic reason for a corporation to take care of non profitable things as hapyness or the future of our planet.
It's the economic liberal view of One dollar One Vote.
Every capitalist economy aim to produce monopoly because it's the easier way to get more money from your customer. Why if capitalism works so well American Government have to take big company in judgement ? Where is your liberty if you can choose only between BicMac and Mega BicMac ?
You should have checked the mailing list archive, the list is quite active and some work is done !
The inherant problem of hardware is the delay between modification, edit--> Compile --> test, is much more important than in software. Today, with FPGA, we are able to do the cycle in less time but the testing of a hardware function is very time consuming
Simulation of the first second of a CPU running a software can last several DAYS (On high end computer). The project is not vapourous it's delayed...
The Net is inherently uncensorable. There are too many chat forums, messaging systems, mailing lists and websites, and not enough cops.
I think it's a common assumption but it's not always true, if we don't care i think we'll learn that technologie is both the best and the worst thing.
Talk to elderer about the begining of radio (even if the comparaison is not fair due to the knowledge requirement to operate a radio) there is similarities. At first everybody was speaking on air (net) and it wasn't possible for governement to censor. But now HAM are really under pressure and can not use radio for something else than talking about radio (at least here in France). Not enough cops you said, we will have enough sooner than we want.
As far i know, all software made by RedHat is licensed under the GPL. So you can sell it for $4.99 or better for $0.02. And if you insist you may even sell it for $10 000 and you'll be rich !!!
Not really, cause the smart card incorporate public key algorithms (generally RSA) and secret key algorithms (DES or other). When you ask for a transaction there is a challenge to your card (you must at this momment enter your pin code). Your secret key is stored on the smart card and there is NO WAY to read it. So you send only encrypted stuff on the web, and you can not easily fake it. The only way is to be able to crack DES in less time than duration of the transaction.
For a secret key crypto algorithm, as the name suggest there is a SECRET. It's NOT STO. One of the most famous algorithm in this category is DES wich is well publicized and cryptanalysed, this algorithm implied the secret key to be secret but you can have everything else even the S-BOX, and your are clueless. I agree with 'carry all obscurity in the key'. But this is better than carry obscurity everywhere. For my house i prefer to have to take care for the key and not for the key AND the door.
When you say to illustrate your talk: "When the tripwire is probed with a SYN packet from a cracker trying to locate the web server, instantly the system goes to full alert. The packet is logged and the admin's pager sounds like an alarm." It's not STO it may be well know from the attacker without allowing him to bypass this trap.
Your exemple about digital signature is only a way to demonstrate that you have a weak protocol to verify public key. RE-read applied crypto!
Abscence of secret is imposible, but it's different from obscurity.
Totally agree with that, All kids here in Europe (in France at least) play doom, listen to american bands but we never had a such bad fight.And we dont have firearms easily available.
