CYB NEWS GENERAL

Spy agencies in Britain will be given the explicit right to hack into smartphones and computers as part of a new law being introduced by the Conservative government. https://www.rt.com/uk/319277-gchq-hack-smartphone-law/ Encrypt All The Things!

>>17941 >Encryption I can't imagine that's going to help much if your system is on and they decide to try a bunch of remote zero-days they have on file. Busting down your door and walking away with your encrypted machine, sure, encryption will help then, but not with this. Time to switch to OpenBSD?

>>17942 Nah. Time to switch to Freenet.

>>17941 install cyanogenmod or use dumb phone

>>17963 We're talking about Britain's version of the NSA here, they probably have a ton of exploits for the baseband firmware on phones at their disposal, hell there have been security audits on some baseband firmwares and they've been found to allow the execution of unsigned code sent over the air without any exploits needed. You aren't safe if you're carrying something that can connect to the cell network.

>>17972 >You aren't safe if you're carrying something that can connect to the cell network. if it's operating. carrying a dumbphone with batteries removed for emergencies is fine, for example. >>17941 the issue with this soykaf is not that they can hack everyone (the exploits would be discovered) but that they can hack important people, for example the ones controlling their funding, and for example plant faked evidence on their pcs and then blackmail them it's mechanisms like that that make spy agencies such dangerous parasites in our modern society

>>17941 why aren't you archiving clickbait articles ivan?

>>17978 We needed a new news thread any way and this is a thing... quite definatly a news worthy thing - they will now use what ever they want, whenever they want with out issue... better not be a Labour candidate or an animal rights campainger or anti nuclear or anything that gets in the way... (not that i am any of thoes) as >>17973 pointed out this can give them a soykaf ton of power and control. Meshnets, we need meshnets! And clean HW! Last clean CPU/HW? AMD Athlon XP? PII? 486?

>encryption "But why you hidin if you have nothing to hide, anon" - some dumb patriot "It's illegal to make scum like you pass unpunished so easily" - some cop "We are going to make encryption illegal so hackers, pedophiles and terrorist can't hide behind their encrypted HDDs" - gubinments

>>18005 I kinda feel for the people in the middle east who die over something that trivial. And the people in korea getting life for something equally trivial. Earth makes me really sad sometimes. I bet this is how god would feel, if he did exist.

>>18005 >No. Just don't step out of line. Lines will always be redrawn... one day that line might be somwhere you tred.

>>18024 Very quotable statement there. >>17941 I feel like we all live in a cyberpunk dystopia. Also, a couple of weeks ago I purchased a high capacity router and a really cool outdoor WAP that claims to be able to communicate up to 7 miles line of sight. I am going to hook it up to a small file server, but no internet, and see if I can have some locally hosted media servers etc. If you are in Boulder, CO, and see a network called "sneakernet" connect, I will have it automatically serve up a login page and some info, and when I figure out user authentication, it will redirect to a network directory listing or something. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

>>18005 >"I'm scared for my life", "my activist friend got a life sentence in jail", "The government deleted all my documents!!" The government has the upper hand over the people.

>>18029 >Boulder, CO Ethan Franklin pls go

>>18032 The baseball player?

CISA Passes Senate :( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/eff-disappointed-cisa-passes-senate "CISA passed the Senate today in a 74-21 vote. The bill is fundamentally flawed due to its broad immunity clauses, vague definitions, and aggressive spying authorities. The bill now moves to a conference committee despite its inability to address problems that caused recent highly publicized computer data breaches, like unencrypted files, poor computer architecture, un-updated servers, and employees (or contractors) clicking malware links."

>>18295 Should this be its own thread?

>>18298 I imagine one will pop up soon enough. Thats some grade A retarded shit, goddamn

>>18295 Has Donald "The Wall" Trump commented on the CISA yet? I heard that Bernie was against it.

>>18295 >>18301 I came here as soon as I saw this link on my RSS feed and was surprised there wasn't a thread in the catalog. Is it all over? Is there any hope left?

i'm glad that things are going this way. the world is not burning literally, but still...

>>18105 So err it was GTAs fault or was it COD... On the plus side you can maybe cancel your contract without penalty if you wish - maybe, as they will still try and fight to keep you...

>>17941 Look at the propergander... sorry i mean news as printed in UK paper.

>>18340 why you say that?

>>18008 >neurosuggesting sick fuarrrk who slaughters 2 million people, has all the power in existence leaves original sin in play, knows all things past, present and future, thus has approved and designed every single rape, murder, war, suffering, you name it. Feeling guilty? Sure. God is just criminally insane when it's a good day.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/11970391/Internet-firms-to-be- derezzed -from-offering-out-of-reach-communications-under-new-laws.html Its the end of anonimity, privacy and encryption! Brit Bongs be fuarrrked and the rest won't be far behind. From hear on in its probably mesh nets all the way. Or back to good ol' physical meet and file swap! Ah well, the net was cool while it lasted. Now bow down to our overlords!

What are the chances that the DDoS attack on ProtonMail is funded by western governments? (UK, US etc)

>>18670 yea we're getting shafted and our mp's are too fuarrrking retarded to do anything I wrote to all 6 of my MEP's about the net neutrality amendments and only two even bothered to get back to me.

>>19056 funny it started the day after GCHQ was given the all clear to hack who the fuarrrk they like!

>>18005 >>18008 The point about tempering state control is that we can very easily fall back into a period of tyranny and tragedy if not careful, and are very much headed on the path for it. Not even a hundred years have passed since the Red Terror. Russia saw far, far worse than North Korea has ever seen at the hands of the same ideological foundations that are taken as given for any educated well-to-do young adult in the US/UK. The same could be said for France, their revolution and the modern world as a whole. Here's a primary source on the red terror: https://slrc-csa.org/PDF/Other/redterrorinrussia.pdf Gets juicy in Chapter 6 - Che-Ka Tyranny, especially starting on page 162. Just skim through it for a real fun read. Some excerpts >The first body to be exhumed was the body of Zhako-britsky, an ex-cornet of the 6th Hussars. He must have been cruelly beaten before death, for some of his ribs had been fractured, and there were thirteen scars on the body caused by pressure against some red-hot, circular implement. All the scars were on the front of the body save for a single stripe burnt upon the back. The skull of another corpse was found flattened into a single, smooth, round disk about a centimetre in thickness. Such expatulation of the head could have been caused only by enormous pressure between two flat objects. On a woman whose identity we could not establish we found seven stab and shot wounds. Also, manifestly she had been thrown into the grave before death. >And the Commission discovered corpses of persons who had been scalded fro head to foot with boiling liquid, and of persons who had been slowly (beginning with wounds intended only to torture, not to prove of a fatal character) hacked to death. And in every town in the region where concealed hiding-places had been available were corpses in a similar condition brought to light. >Nilostonsky goes on to describe the appearance of a “human slaughter-house” (he asserts that that had come actually to be the official appellation of such places) when, later, the Denikin Commission inspected one. The place had formerly been a garage, and then the provincial Che-Ka’s main slaughter-house. And the whole of it was coated with blood — blood ankle deep, coagulated with the heat of the atmosphere, and horribly mixed with human brains, chips of skull — bone, wisps of hair, and the like. Even the walls were bespattered with blood and similar fragments of brain and scalp, as well as riddled with thousands of bullet holes. In the centre was a drain about a quarter of a metre deep and wide, and about ten metres long. This led to the sanitary system of the neighbouring house, but was choked to the brim with blood. Yep. North Koreans don't have it that bad. But we're approaching it. The simple trick to heinous mass murder is dehumanizing the victims such that it's equivalent to the slaughter of pigs. You know, like those anti-progressive bigots who are basically pigs who don't deserve to live except I'm vegan but anyway let them die or at least start with economically isolating them by firing them from their jobs for their political dissent. It's not murder if they die from starvation. How could this go wrong?

At stake are the government's net neutrality rules banning telecom and cable companies from unfairly discriminating against new or potential rivals.

>>18343 >If the internet is being used to sell you things, why is it wrong for little GCHQ to use a tiny bit of the data to stop you from being blown up on holiday? what? like, how does that even follow?

Well, you guys might find this to be a fun read, if anything. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/malware-microsoft.html Alotta, "Yeah, no sokaf," but still entertaining...

>>19782 AFAIK quantum computing only halves the bit-effectiveness of symmetric encryption and hash-reversing, not completely breaking soykaf like it does with asymmetric encryption. So, bitcoin will wtill *work*. People will just replace their ASICs with quantum-accellerated ASICs.

AMD’s new Radeon Crimson software crushes Catalyst, boosts performance >Linux is also getting its own performance improvements, with gains of 12% – 55% in select titles. AMD has taken heat recently for poor performance in that OS compared with other graphics cards, and it looks like Team Red has made a serious effort to improve its game, particularly in Source-based titles. We know Valve is pushing for game developers to take Linux more seriously, particularly where the next-gen Vulkan API is concerned. http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/218513-amds-new-radeon-crimson-software-crushes-catalyst-boosts-performance

>>18031 Isn't that the nature of government? Countries are a relationship between the government and the governed, in which the government has the power to keep order. The idea that democracy works is flawed. Democracy only works when everyone is interested, and you can't get enough people interested unless your vote is statistically significant. The scale of our world is much larger than it should be.

>>17941 Just never use social network websites. At least on phone. Better to not use them at all. And you are safe, you glitterboy.
