FBI software cracks encryption wall

[Code]

Hey beav, enlighten me as to how you'd get through eldorado.activcard.com, or better yet. I'll give you 500 dollars if you can get Any files from it.

I mean if you got your hacking days and all

We do have 15 year olds hacking the pentagon.
Firewalls are not as safe as you think, they are definatley not 100% effective if someone wants through your firewall they can get in

just to clarify - when they are "hacking the pentagon" - their websites get "hacked" through well known holes that the sys admins were either too lazy, too stupid, or too busy to fix.
also, in these cases, the machines were outside of any firewall network.

hacking into private record databases - nearly impossible - web sites - easy enough if the system is being neglected.

viruses and trojans do not usually just get on your computer. It involves user interaction and everyone getting trojans and such install them themselves.

Hey, why get jumpy.

This Magic Lantern program aint gonna' just install it self on to your harddrive. It's not like there is a FBI-agent gonna gome to every internet users home demanding to install the ML software.

Read the text, what ML is is just like a trojan virus like Melissa or any other. You have to download a file/recieve a mail with a file attached AND run the program itself. By installing a program the trojan ML will install its service on to your platform.

Man, shit like this doesn't happen by itself.

Worried? Im not, I know not to install programs from anonymous sources.

There aint' a virus program in the world that will warn you about ML so in the future. To stay safe. Don't friggin install ANYTHING and you will be fine.

That includes opening documents and other shit send to you.

Ofcourse, if you trust your source go ahead and install/download/run the shit.

Peace/BB

a good judge of whether or not to be bothered by something in the tech field is to go over to slashdot and see what they are talking about - lots of geeks talking about what they know best - just as here there is the talk of juice, over there, they talk of programming and the like.

they are talking about this, and they are mainly making fun of it, and the only worry is that someone else will get the code and improve on it...

remember... there's always someone bigger and better out there!

Prolly, there has been a couple great trojans out in the last few years and the wreak havoc in the online gaming world. People use them to steal accounts mostly. But it all boild down to people installing the trojan on thier own computer. If you dont know what it is, dont open the damn file, its that simple.

LOL - there is always a dumber user.
I never open anything sent to me - whether I know the person or not.
text files I'll open, but not .doc or .xls since there are vbs macros one can run to manipulate your system (with registry access no less).
I'll open flash files, but not shockwave, and there is no way in hell i'll open an .exe or .com
I'll open a .zip, but not a self extracting....

you would think people wouldn't do it - but they are retarded. simple as that.
hell, my mom will foward it to me and say "I think this might be a virus"
I ask her, if it is, then why the hell are you sending it to me?

oh yeah - if it is .vbs, or xxx.jpg.vbs - anything ending in vbs, then I don't open it - those are almost always viruses.

we had one at work a few months back, I opened it (not to execute, but read the code) and it had a great string in there: "this is very joke"

my friends and I all say that all the time now.
