  2. Counter surveillance? on WiFi Phishing Attacks Discovered Around Atlanta City Hall (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    A real time database of all city contractors, police, lawyers, workers, informants, undercover police, code enforcers, police?
    Every person near the site would have had face, registration plate, passenger face, daily drive, phone details kept.
    Someone enters a part of the city and their phone has been near city hall a few times? Undercover.
    Phone is near city hall everyday? City worker, contractor is "working".
    The code pushed is just cover to get the networks and devices reporting location and unique details. The real work is in the workers later movements in real time.

    Who does this "tech" effort on a US city?
    Gig economy company tired of city "laws" and their new gig services getting too much city enforcement.
    Find all the city workers and just avoid enforcement efforts in real time as every city worker, undercover is now "discovered".
    Criminals and cults/faith groups just apply for a city job/contract work and spy with "workers" for generations from within. Low risk of detection as they work for the city for decades.
    Other nations just spy with their own generations of workers deep in the US gov at a city, state level. Split loyalty and US city workers report back to their own nations/faith. No risk of detection.
    Criminals and other nations spies would not do this tech effort as it induces a search for well placed spies/criminals. Why do the one thing with tech to alert US law enforcement when spies/criminals/cults/faith groups are in place for decades reporting back without discovery?
    Someone needs the real time moment patterns of all city workers and undercover city police work.

    How to avoid this at a city level? Ensure no undercover city worker/police ever goes near city hall. No cell phone, no computer ip, no contact. No digital detection and its all good to stay undercover.
    The way the FBI rents a part of a secure building under a random company name. They can then work out of that office for years and its just another company with office workers.

    The brands that buy the product need help often so the backdoor is the only way to help. All part and parcel of working with the modern global internet.
    The NSA demands such support and it has to be done.

    Thats the very best way of thinking about it. Its just part of the product line. To help consumer, to help the NSA.

    The next options are much more fun.
    The NSA and other US agencies have placed staff in a lot of big brands who do this code "undercover" and live for every generation of product.
    Other US cyber contractors find the backdoor and report it the FBI.
    The FBI goes looking for the spies and finds a NSA operation domestically. The FBI looks around and finds a way in.
    The backdoor is removed much later but the FBI cannot comment of the NSA.
    Its all for global police requests. Police in different nations demand such access and backdoors. No backdoor and the export deals fails.
    So every export product ships with a police ready backdoor. Police around the world then allow their own respective gov to use the products.
    The NSA and FBI are happy with that.
    Rather then alert the world to many nations police deep in every network and computer system its just a "backdoor" that is discovered and reported on and nobody really know much.

    So whats more of a happy ending?
    Its for the consumers for support?
    Its the good NSA? Its the NSA spying and later the FBI?
    Its lot of police? And a few nations mil looking for spies in their own nations? GCHQ likes to watch all networks in Ireland too?
    Everyone is winning until the police backdoor is found :)

  4. The FBI attempts to help this by sending 2 agents with accents to random contractors. One to witness the other.
    They make "offers" for "cash" to a contractor and wait to see what the contractors does.
    Report all details as told to?
    Accept the offer?
    So many contractors now. The few FBI agents with accents and the same security clearance level have so much work to do all over the USA.

    Got grid connected solar that will only turn off when the grid is down? Let the power company turn solar on/off at any time with their own network command.
    That gives the grid control of all power that pushed back into their grid.
    Got AC? Let the power company turn the AC on/off depending on weather and what they want to do with their grid.
    Make everyone connected to the grid pay extra for a new huge new grid battery.
    The new big battery will allow the grid to respond to slight changes in demands to the grid.
    By having control of your AC and grid connected solar the grid can make more profit.
    Suggest every new dwelling gets solar with a network on/off command connection to ensure the grid can control all new solar.
    Suggest a battery pack for homes thats also grid controlled. So the grid can charge and access battery power as needed per dwelling.

  16. Think of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... but wide open to todays internet.

  17. The USA was at a low engineering level in the 1930-early 1940's. The USA had the design skills to build a Navy domestically to a good 1930's standard.
    Bring in 10000 skilled German engineers under Operation Paperclip and the USA was a space winner for decades in the 1950's.
    No need to spread money around to educate the entire US population.
    The Germans built new US production lines with real quality control, hired US staff on merit and had the advance German math needed to design the future in the USA.
    Outside a few advance and secret production lines and secure factories rest of the USA stayed as is for decades.
    No need to bring the rest of the wider US population up to any new standard.

    How to get the USA back into space in a generation:
    No need for well educated Germans with practical skills this time.
    The only real change will be that the US university system will have to go back to only accepting students on exam results and the ability to learn and study.
    Test all US students for math and science. The few students that do well get paid to go to a top US university on merit.
    At university they only study with the very best US educators and among other students who did really well on their tests and exams.
    No need to make a US university student intake reflect the rest of the US population. Just accept the very best students and offer them the option of well paying space jobs if they pass their exams really well.
    Set up the same system for engineers, schools for technicians and scientists selected on merit. Build a space ready workforce on merit, not a university system on political considerations.
    Another system to sort, find and educate the very best factor workers. A way to keep the best workers in work, educated and ready to support a later space project.
    That would build the inner core of an elite workforce selected by testing and results able to understand and work with advance math and materials.
    Testing would be open to all, but only the very best would get a job offer.
    No bringing a new space project to some random US "state" and filling jobs up with "locals".
    Skilled workers with the ability not to forget their tools inside advanced rockets after every shift.
    No need to educate the entire US population. Just sort the very best out and offer them education after tests and sorting on merit.
    Good pay and the selection of one good rocket design. Build the rocket systems and enjoy the results using a small but well educated workforce.
    The rest of the US population does not really have to worry about the selection of part of the population for space.
    The USA did just fine with NASA, NSA, NRO selecting the very best workers they needed and got on with doing projects in space for decades.

    The only trick with space is to hire on merit. A space workforce does not need to be US population large. Just educated and able to learn new skills.
    The USA did great work in space from the 1950-90's and the rest of the USA just saw the final results and only needed a few new well paying factories able to keep secrets. The rest of the US population just went about their normal work, holiday, TV watching.
