Assuming most countries have many law enforcement agences; and there are many countries --- it makes me wonder if most of the traffic on Silk Road was just a bunch of undercover operations trolling each other.
For example, in the US, I could imagine there were buyers from DEA, FBI, some DHS agencies, some DoD agencies, maybe even NYPD (heck, NYPD even has a branch in London, Israel, and Hamburg ) -- and that's just one country. Multiply by a couple hundred countries, and that really might have been a significant fraction of the market.
Director says he wants laws to give FBI power to monitor private-sector networks, going beyond existing system that conducts surveillance of.gov networks
...
Mueller seemed to suggest that the bureau should have a broad "omnibus" authority to conduct monitoring and surveillance of private-sector networks as well.
...
The surveillance should include all Internet traffic, Mueller said, "whether it be.mil,.gov,.com--whichever network you're talking about." (See the transcript of the hearing.)
Sure --- but this guy's use-case was using SSH to log in to a Windows box and do something to Windows --- which the VM mostly prevents.
And if is wasn't a requirement to mess with Windows, I'd rather skip the VM and just run Linux directly.
I know back in 1995 when Cygwin came out it got a reputation of being pretty flakey.
But it's come a long way in the last 2 decades.
These days, pretty much any time you think you have a "hmm, Linux can do this but I don't know how to do it on Windows", Cygwin is probably a very good possibility.
And in case someone thinks that's the hard part, note that tagging the packets is pretty easy. Just send a pattern of large-packet,small-packet,large-packet,small-packet.... ; and look for that pattern.
Just spam the.onion site with tons of that traffic, and look on the relay nodes you control for whichever machine they're sending the most of that pattern.
Anyone know of such a service that supports the rsync protocol (either over ssh or any other rsync-friendly transport).
If so - bandwidth limitations don't suck so bad; since you'd be typically just streaming incremental changes.
More on that some other day, but the real and perhaps the only story in the news is that Microsoftâ(TM)s partners â" from device makers to music services â" just got double crossed by the company they choose to believe in. I like to call it Zun-ked (a tiny take off on Punked.)
I hope yes for bug fixes. Less excited about "features".
I'm not sure I want them adding "features" like Google Play and random to help their data business.
I imagine with their surveilance on foreign corporations there's a huge amount of technology the could license.
And imagine how much money they could make licensing insider information of stock markets of enemy countries.
Might even be part of their job descriptions, if their job is to undermine such countries. It probably works better to destablize an enemy's economy than sanctions.
Well, there are forces that do not want *NEW* parts of the US economy to do well. Those are the big slow companies heavily invested in old legacy technologies. I imagine they're the ones who buy the lawyers who write the laws.
If it's managed well, who cares what the organization / tax structure of the backers are.
If it gets mismanaged by an individual, you'll get dozens of non-profits as well as corporations that are welcome to fork it and try to convince people to use their own forks
If it gets mismanaged by a non-profit, you'll get dozens of commercial companies and individuals that are welcome to fork it and try to convince people to use their own forks.
In the end, the best managed fork will win; regardless of how it's taxed.
I'd have thought that was a solved problem long ago - and if it really is still painful, there are plenty of email hosting services that would love to sign up a major ISP to provide that service for you.
It'd make perfect sense if NSA submits bug reports to Tor for vulnerabilities it knows its competitors are using; while at the same time keeping quiet about the ones it uses itself.

you would still need a decent text editor.
Are you forgetting that emacs has a pretty nice vi-mode?

Guess the NSA beat them for funding that project?

Some might argue that's the fault of AD, not cygwin or ssh.

Apparently they're good lectures.
Seems they could host it on tor hidden services too.

Don't have Windows here. Would be nice if they had a firmware patch that could run on Linux.

Microsoft Partners, You Been Zunked
More on that some other day, but the real and perhaps the only story in the news is that Microsoftâ(TM)s partners â" from device makers to music services â" just got double crossed by the company they choose to believe in. I like to call it Zun-ked (a tiny take off on Punked.)
Yet the camera marketing companies keep spinning them as ways to provide money to cities.
In reality, that only works for the rare city where most drivers are from out of town.
I think the best of both worlds is to have the live system in the cloud, but have on site backups of all those systems.
That way if/when the cloud dies, you can still have access to all your data.
Rails may die.
Thank you for making that distinction.
I liked using Ruby before ever seeing Rails, and have a moderate dislike for Rails.
I wish people would stop judging Ruby for one IMHO awkward and bloated framework.
I hope yes for bug fixes. Less excited about "features". I'm not sure I want them adding "features" like Google Play and random to help their data business.
Does that mean they think they're allowed to hack whatever banks and stock markets they want in foreign countries?
If so - imagine how effectively they might go after financial crimes.
Or is this just for when the FBI wants to overlap with the DEA on wars on drugs?
And imagine how much money they could make licensing insider information of stock markets of enemy countries.
Might even be part of their job descriptions, if their job is to undermine such countries. It probably works better to destablize an enemy's economy than sanctions.
I guess the problem is writing the law in a way that disallows shooting commercials or movies
I don't think that's what they're targeting.
Wouldn't be surprised if the real target are environmentalists who complain about aggressive logging.
Thank You!!! I've occasionally looked for something exactly like this.
It wouldn't suck if they made more profit on less revenue.
Sure it could.
For example, Boeing could take the $4B and spend $5B on R&D having negative profit; while SpaceX could take the $2B and make $1B profit.
But then Boeing's technology will have improved by $5B in R while SpaceX's will have only benefited 1/5th as much

It's a nightmare to maintain
Really?

No surprises here.
