The Feds

[Quadsweep]

For JB25 if I was ordering anything I would be worried about. But I'M not I just made this post for my general knowledge. So do more reading before you make a post like that. Listen to the guys who really know what their talking about.

Ummmm.....I think he was just joking dude! Relax a bit!

Gimme a break, IDEA is 1024 bit.And even if they manage to break that simply increase the key length.Carnivore is nothing more than a plain-text sniffer, even 128 bit is a brick wall to it.

That's what I understood Carnivore to be.

 

[genarr3]

that's all it exactly is, a sniffer, although there might be other ways to get through the 128bit encryption, carnivore has nothing to do with it, and anyone claiming stupid things like that should be shot so i dont get extra headaches

LOL. I can tell by the frustration in your post you're computer guy.

Okay. Let's say I'm a guy with some experience working together with the NSA in the past (not drug related stuff; much more serious). Let's say I've had conversations with Ron Rivest from MIT. Let's say I have a little bit of understanding of how RSA (which became PGP later on, basically) got developed in the first place. RSA, by the way, stands for Rivest/Shamir/Adelman.

Let's say I have had an understanding of how the FBI and other agencies work with the NSA and who really has the power and the largest budgets and computational and analytical capabilities.

Let's say I believe that NSA, FBI and others have often in the past put out information for general public consumption, leading them to believe certain things.

Does anybody seriously believe that if they want to grab your information that they're not going to get it, without (or with) a warrant? How was PGP ever allowed into the public domain in the first place?

Folks, for the average Joe or corporation...there is no real electronic security. What you have on your side is that you one of millions of people who communicate in billions of ways electronically everyday. It's an issue of priorities and resources on their part, that's all.

That's why I stay on private boards mainly, where there is no bullshit open posting or "approved international sources" or careless talk about "Are you getting anything from ***?" or "How long does it take from **** to ****?"

I agree with Cuban about why most people get busted. I also think that the Feds like to make a few showcase busts occasionally, even though AAS aren't high on their priority list, if for no other reason that to justify their budgets and to funnel money into other programs.

Yes we all know the war on "drugs" is a big joke. Now we have another big joke to deal with, the war on "terrorism". Now don't go saying that I'm a jerk for thinking that we shouldn't have went and fucked up the arabs, cause I have done my part for this country.

Anways, now that congress has a new "war" they can find new ways to blow money. With that in mind they are trying link drugs and terrorism together. Remember the super bowl ad that linked buying drugs to suppoerting terrorism? Well by doing so the feds can now increase the amount of money that is spent on the war on "drugs". Also in the news the feds are cutting the amount of money givein to state/local police so the feds can get bigger.
Whats does that mean to us? Simply put the feds will now have more money and more man power to fight the war on drugs/terrorsim.

In using the word terrorism they can go around some current laws and say that Joe in down in sunny Fla is buying his supply from the middle east and reselling it to americans. Therfore he is supporting terrorsim. From what I understand the feds can break about every sinlge right you have to arrest you and stop the money flow to the so called "terrorist groups".




Lock and load boys, its going to get messy in a few years.
