Welcome back to reality. Enjoy the gems from WikiLeaks, note whats missing and welcome to the honeypot.
No need for super computer, mathematicians ect.
A postit note, pen and a rather older person who looked about 20-30 yo in May 1980 in the basement can do wonders with locals ie please cooperate cryptanalysis.
"technical explanation of what happened" is they fixed all their fleet with sensitive wifi collection systems, rolled them out and sucked up all the data they could.
"geolocation purposes" was a nice motive, yes they may have been 'simply sloppy", but they did know it was "a privacy issue".
Google just hoped laws would bend in some digital wifi gold rush and google would have a full set of early, ad/wealth maps of wifi geolocation in one early easy, pass.
A "half-assed job" would be a few cars/vans in some cities, this was much more global and the "project leaders" well above their "programmers" signed off on it.
The rest was early PR spin to stop the story, then more PR to make it pass.
Recall http://googlepolicyeurope.blogspot.com/2010/04/data-collected-by-google-cars.html
"Is it, as the German DPA states, illegal to collect WiFi network information?
We do not believe it is illegal--this is all publicly broadcast information which is accessible to anyone with a WiFi-enabled device." "Genuinely an accident" would be a van, a city, a country... and code review/legal would have picked it up.
It was then "mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open (i.e. non-password-protected)"..
Think of it as buying into MS for the first time.
Contract for support, then extra drones, then cell jam, voiceprint id, bigger drones for more payloads. Then the larger 24/7 options. Then support ie 'rent' for all of the above.
The FAA seems to have a database of issue with ~ 119,000 of the 357,000 aircraft in the U.S. registry ie. "questionable registration"
Then people wonder about small jets too .
How would you feel if violent labor unions were being mobilized with foreign cash leading up to elections? Not so good, huh?
vs the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nugan_Hand_Bank
Everybody used Australia, who shaped the feds, ASIO and what do they feel they can offer in 2011.
Expert NSA crypto, GCHQ ect all comes with a price tag.
Think back to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(computer_hacker)
He was offered community service (we caught you) and not seem to get a clandestine service offer (we need your skills?).
Australia has its own banking network to watch all large cash flows and is part of the NSA 'network'. Every packet is mirrored ie room 641A for all.
Australia had massive state and clandestine service efforts to track and discredit anyone of interest in the community well into the 1970's.
The idea that that all stopped int he 1980's and 1990 with law reform is... cute.
So enjoy the outed Australian politician who likes to chat to the US embassy, the Russia/Intel offer but be aware of the geographic 'filtering' and other meetings. http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/07/26/times_wikileaks_white_house_meeting
Enjoy the gems, but have a feel for the larger picture of useful leaks and new cyber laws.
Will soon be back in the USA. Sold to every small town PD with a long term no bid contract.
Big sis will watch you long before you get TSA ed or xrayed in your local community.
"respond intelligently to new and unforeseen events." Your face matched to your gait. Anything change, time for big sis to have a chat? http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/vipr_blockisland.shtm
ie augmented security at key transportation facilities in urban areas around the country - your face part of a huge data stream.
Want a vision of the future, imagine a camera streaming a human face - forever.. they have cell voice prints been detected over cities, now its going visual.
We did have Bungie (as in Mac supporting), other firms, a strong PPC/Intel game porting flow. Some open, shareware efforts.
Its more you could keep that $5 photo editing program at $25-40 on OS X. Nobody selling would out cheap you and it would then be review based eco system. Did the file save, covert, is it fast ect. Nows its a Windows world. Price and its low. MaciOSmart has arrived in eWorld and retail trade in small town Mac OS X is going to be....? Sweatshop code.
Try http://download.cnet.com/mac/
Set to Purchase and have a look at the shareware.
All the $10-$40 options to do or save in, convert or work out ect some ~ small Mac task thats standalone or feeds into a larger set of tools.
Thats the fear. WoW or MsOffice are safe for now on the Mac.
12,000 downloads for a $10 app that might exist on ios for a few $.
The Mac software cartel is over. Its time for the $99 basement code app that phones home a bit too much:)
Yes the NSA got it right from day one via COMINT only (above top secret), slap on eg Trine, Dinar, Vipar, Froth designations. Then make sure only Gout cleared people can read Gout message. Unless oathed, briefed, certified, you dont get in.
Now we have Windows and any modem using UFO hunter can have a go.
Thanks, you would think Windows would be banned, reduced to admin ect. No air gap. UFO seekers with dial up and now more perl fun. I guess Windows keeps the 'fix it again' contractors very busy and happy.
Really silly q, but why do the scripts seem to be just so Windows based/Windows friendly?
Is it so hard to get Mac OS X, Linux or other OS's to run something perl like via a click click of something cute in a email?
Could anyone make something stacked/packed to be Win7/OS X/Linux aware?
The US police do like the option to find any unique phone data. NYPD tracking cell phone owners, but foes aren't sure practice is legal
The International Mobile Equipment Identity number would just "drop out" as the battery is removed to stop leakage.
I am not sure how deep "open and examine" would do for files inside, but data on the outside is now fair game.
With that number, its a classic pen/trap order to see who you call. No need to listen in just yet, but database it all for now.
Then track via private agencies and pass up to the local http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_center
The you have the feds looking you up. Hope all the data is unique and boring.
They dream to pop each packet and charge Apple, MS, Google ect per packet.
Until then they will just cash in on the end users addiction for a non buffering connection every month.
Bittorrent does provide a nice cover in a press release when all non enhanced content hits a hard shaped wall.
BT has rolled out a new set of pneumatic tubes. One set if you pay will let your messages move around the UK with delightful burst of Steve Ballmer's "Obsession For BT" - dedicated BT only optical path.
If you dont pay you can wait for the converted "Bring out your dead" cart to be filled and get pushed along a dirt track. -kept to the shared, oversubscribed best effort networks.
BT should have spent more on backhaul.
Apple will offer what it needs to in the EU. Apples USB2, FW efforts on their pod/pads/phones have been very strange and limited.
Power in will not be the issue. What Apple will allow software and hardware related will be the issue.
Long term flattery, shared interests, an understanding of Unix ect. could charm admins into that zone of pw trust.
If caught in the past by the feds, you would have the time, cash and drive to work hard on/for your target group.
USSR was very random. If they needed a few thousand to make up a death quota for an area, it was done. Germany had the help of IBM tech to sort the population. Germany also had a very good system of letter writing from people who disliked/wanted your job ect.
What the USA is rolling out is fusion centres with the NSA as part of your telco network. http://cryptome.org/eyeball/nsa-grsoc/nsa-grsoc.htm
If you fly and phone home, your fair game. Use a set of words...
The US is also rolling out ""If You See Something, Say Something"" to suburbia, so really its back to random again http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1291648380371.shtm
So you have the Germany tech feel with Soviet like employees to keep an eye on you. Where the fed van will stop next..
