Good Bad and the Ugly

Like most enterprises that function successfully to transfer huge amounts of money/value from the many to a few (think government), this one was alike the bootleggers (alcohol/tobaccy/other) that was deemed non-essential for human health. Some people do try to live without the use of mind altering chemicals, ingest non-foods or implore others to try harmful products. Modern business is all about money, far less about caring a damn how it arrives at their bank. Facebook mines peoples minds, seeking entry to use whats there for sale to business to sell them things (anything). Free choice is subverted by the hysteria and 'need to be part of it' life, social contexts and all variants thereof. All the individual wants is freedom to exist, and live out from under the heavy hand of others who make laws that deny them that freedom. Many act like the thugs themselves, taking more while returning less.

Re: The FCC isn't going to do anything that isn't easy

Landmark computer hacking archive deposited at TNMOC

my father worked for the USA Bell Telephone System (now AT&T) from 1930 to retirement in the 1970s.

he took me to work with him on weekends to keep me away from the 'bad elements' in our neighborhood. in the late 1950's, he showed me the punched tape read/writers they used to communicate the various office information among each, using existing copper lines and microwave links. it was simple enough for even an 8 year old to understand. not a full blown 'net', but even then, the wizards in New Jersy were well aware of the use of widespread, standardized methods of sharing information. commercial investment required tons of money to buy and use this system, but only when CHEAP AFFORDABLE computers were here could the internet become a public reality, and an opportunity for ISP's to start gouging the entire population.

Local Bulletin Boards

circa 1980-1990, the usa was introduced to local dialup bulletin board's, often managed and run by local radio amateurs who did have enough smarts to know what they were capable of. some, very few, had actual high speed telco lines into the skeletal frame work of the national 'grid' that was indeed the internet that was used by major corporations, universities and fragments of the government. protocols were yet to be written to establish any real ability to 'surf', and actual sites were ... well pretty far and few between. even in So California (the "Epiecenter' of Al Gores invention /s) it was limited to aerospace, university and research primarily. Land lines (the wires up on the telephone poles) with actual rotary dial phones ruled the day. Then stuff just took off as the greedy providers realized the scope and scale of the profits that were to be made. Even then, the BBS smart ass users were busy subverting the subscription and payment systems, stealing what they could. (all in the name of being as economical as they claimed to be).

US government upends critical spying case with new denial

hapticz

if some folks decide to flaunt the concept of acting in a manner to preserve life, to not kill for their own purpose and imbue fear into others, then that is rightly deemed an act of war and must be dealt with as such. this is no game of spin the bottle, with innocent bystanders getting blown to bits for some ideological guru to get their rocks off, it is simple survival of life and freedom. as terrorists feel no qualms using any means to force innocents to carry bodybombs into a crowd, the laws must be suspended to deny them the freedom to do that. when lawyers start having their own children explosively splattered across the plazas, they may begin to act with less deference to prior precedents.

Another data-leaking Spectre CPU flaw among Intel's dirty dozen of security bug alerts today

hapticz

one basket for all the eggs?

before certain people decided to take advantage of others, (for profit by fraud, deceit, strategy, etc) the specter of losing any amount of spare change legally was minimal, but a scaling up of so many business's to proportions that yielded millions of bucks with very little real 'effort' became suddenly 'important enough to pay attention to". loss of patent code execution has ever been fraught with risk, speculation and unending revisions. this industry is dynamic, like it or not, like politicians tweaking the culture to 'make it all work right".

these obscure defects in the processors, now offer some the very minimal advantage to nudge a few bucks away from those who have, up until now, chosen greed as a way of life, rather than one that honestly improves the entire lot. security some say? when did that suddenly become an issue?

uniqueness is a virtue

taking 100,000 years to emerge from a primal society of upright hominids to a diffuse and varied clanish tribes, each with its own tailored behavior constraints, is not easily disrupted. expecting another, violently defended region, to accept at face value what another region of peoples deems 'acceptable' is quite naive, humans dont like to change if it means relearning a completely different way of life. pecking orders remain intact, even as 'ownership' of areas passes on from one generation to the next. in addition to the logarythmic increase in populations demanding the same priviledge of what was once plentiful and abundant resources, and theres no end to squabbling and elbowing amongst the hordes for the 'leaders' to settle. its only going to get worse, even as the communication networks increase the interface surface and their melting together.

whos watching the henhouse....

the court systems remain committed to 'sending a message' to all those beyond their remand, to obey and respect the rule of law (written by those who gain power enough to do so). woe be to anyone (child/adult) who fails to be apprised of the web of edicts (hundreds of thousands) and plays havoc with the stability of the old boys network. the structures of powerful people is much like a simple primitive jungle, ruled essentially by fear, force and direct threat to others, even as democracy is used to portray it otherwise.

Re: Inconceivable!

truly said. its bad enough the interference some government dimwits parlay as 'necessary for the public good", but it seems more and more, these clowns are doing, saying, enforcing these acts of omnipotence , just because they can say, "Well, we had to do something!" meaning they really have no clue what they are doing, but to ensure they appear to be doing something, anything to justify their very existence. it probably has been like this since bureaucracy began, long ago, disguised as actual functional control mechanisms to reign in so many of the snake oil and similar 'corporate interests' who had no true beneficial intentions other than reap money from any process FOR THEMSELVES. face it, these are politicians in disguise, steering the public astray at any cost, to the taxpayer, to the consumer, to anyone foolish enough to believe.

children, children, ..

sadly im an american, born and raised, thoroughly indoctrinated in the mind blowing concept of 'democracy', reciting the 'pledge', loyally saluting the flag with hand over heart and so forth. i cant quite describe what a dreadful time this is, for lots of voters (the real ones that are vetted and have some stake in it) sorting among all this chaff and noise coming from the mouths of these so called 'leaders', fingers pointing so many ways they seem as flexible as cooked spaghetti (al dente!). this all reminds me of what kindergarten and grade school was, when the schoolyard was rife with social misfits trying every which way to get to the top of the slide ladder, pushing, shoving, pinching, kicking, snarling and spitting. the climb to the top, thence to sit long enough just to annoy the ones behind and then slide ever so quick back to the reality of being at the bottom once again. all of these 'patriots', democratic participants and hanger-ons so desperately, yet pathetically acting like selfish children on a mission.

why the need

all the concern for maintaining complete isolation and patency of ideas thru communications, reinforces the need for same. a circular system that fails to respond by adjusting and correcting to result in a non-cyclic, static and predictable (and improvable) state. is this a basic failing of natural human traits, to simply secure another's efforts as their own, essentially bypassing redundantly performed work? theft of concepts, or is it the very possession of concepts the root cause? did we not learn the dangers of the past 10,000 yeras of human desires, oppression, possessiveness and resultant conflicts? history may never teach a being that which it is incapable of learning.

Undetectable NSA-linked hybrid malware hits Intel Security radar

as the 'enemy state' of so many foreign countries, the usa is fully capable of doing preeeety much what it pleases, yu know, to maintain that aura of respectability/viability and politically pristeeness that make so many in the usa (and allies) happy as clams. with china/syria/other middle eastern clans simmering with envy at the smarty pants trying to overtake their commerce, trade and 'cultural integrity' systems, expect feecal matter to fly and rude political families to do unconscionable things. Creating a company (ohh so clever) that presumes to be a hard/ss drive manufacturer, then simply hacks any common drive, re-brands it as 'new and improved" and guess what. the good onsumer sheep will buy them, use them and distribute them for the NSA gratis. who cares where they end up, they now are 'target capable', usually as soon as someone hooks it up to the big bad internet. isis may play a small part, by encouraging the animosity between so many people, but the big fat wealthy ones, really arent affected. malware is like the thousand people willing to cheat you to get ahead in the line, short you on quality, trick you to buy junk and countless other typical human traits.

Re: Let me get this straight

one great 'leader' and a supporting legion of old military goons who can't get past the 44th parallel if they tried. this sad country isn't 'backwards', it is simply a product of old farts who wont let go of the past. asian cultures high regard for 'elders' has brought millions of post Korean War children into a mind boggling alter universe of perspective and indoctrinations. perhaps the past teachings of the 'flat earth religions' comes to mind? while the priests languished comfortably on the sweat, blood and efforts of the 'faithful', the faithful eventually gained access to the printed word, real knowledge and realized they actually were being 'tended' like sheep. the cryptic secrecy used to contain any society or population is a key element of control. secret guns, secret weapons, any secrets that maintain a carefully structured class that, like most animals, always seeks greater territory and breeding access to expand it's own realm. language barriers offer some of the greatest opportunities for tyrants to instill fear and natural paranoia. stay tuned, the world gets more interesting as more people elbow each other in crowded places.

Second guessing...

where the point of trust is broken, and then deciding what is defining that point may exacerbate the core issue that defines the human/animal itself. adamant to retain individual freedoms, yet force others to submit to one's own expression of perceived freedom? absolute obedience, or submission to absolute beliefs that utilize no acceptance of alternate thoughts or actions under threats of death (ie-absolute non-life) is one of any organisms highest fears, highest actionable priorities or call to duty. those responses have become more important to survival than tending the garden of life itself, the organism may have reached the end of its useful existence, unable to dynamically adapt, fail to communicate effectively across it's evolved replicated selves and alter its multidimensional perception of existence. even virii, perhaps the simplest of creations, makes a greater effort to change, than the highest form of life as we claim to be.

Why did it take antivirus giants YEARS to drill into super-scary Regin? Symantec responds...

Re: Okay, honest question...

nahhh, that's too simple. media (aka software giants) need these mystery 'crisis' to self sustain themselves, maintain the public in a state of constant fear and give employment to the ones who cannot create systems ware impermeable to defeat or injection. since 99 percent of the users (is that too generous?) are actually honest and properly dazzled by the glut of software, internet traffic (aka useless advertising and hollywood junk) and desire to have the 'bestest and fastest' regardless of cost or actual functionality, then this one Regin thing has actually next to nothing for them to be concerned with. it's the people who derive financial gain, and control over others that really shake in their boots when they find someone has been banging their bride behind their back, in their own bed. i agree, this could be a really smart attempt at truly subversive stealth by some real cornball MIT, Eton, Princeton type or even a 14 year old genius (like the sandy hook school massacre brat) with no thing else to do. some people just do it for fun, as a challenge. elevating this to 'nation state' status makes for great popular entertainment, at the nation state level at least. again, we are all swapping petabytes of code with no real 'sheriff' to keep the mayhem in check. why would anyone want to screw with communications companies anyway?

Re: SOS, DD, more phoney money baloney..

any of these artist's is complicit in the 'copying industry' scam, as they profit from unperformed (no actual singing or playing) of their so called 'art'. the copying industry includes all manner of management, technical and manufacturing (all the way down to the floor of the pressing plant) and distribution matrix. these artists have become so lazy, they dont even perform real music, they lip-sync, use prerecorded background tracks, hire writers to script their lyrics, and pretend they have created music art. every audible/visual fleck of information that does not come straight from their pea brain, drug fueled, sex immersed mouths is a worthless fake. if these artists want money, they can perform 365 daya year on stage, doing their art, for real. like most of the fobs that do real work, and hand off TRILLIONS of dollars to the intermediary copying industry for non-performance fakes of their productions. we are all being had, by Sony, Samsung, Phillips, Intel, and any other corporate middle man or management that reaps BILLIONS in profits from some of the few (and i mean FEW) real artists out there. so phoooey on the lot of you!

Gee THANKS: Cryptoscum offer a free decrypt in latest ransomware racket

hapticz

Re: Of course

persons already victimized and paid the price would have the decrypto program intact as it would be used during 'reclaiming' their files. a site devoted to victims could have them submit the program/drive for professional dissection. the crypto method itself is not the weak point, if you have no decrypt key, there is no resolution to the encrypted files, irregardless of the algorythm.

what has me confounded, is how an entire drive is surreptitiously encrypted without the user being aware of any changes or misfunctions. drop/mess a few bytes in most DLL, EXE or data files and windows, linux or other OS will blow up. does this mean that the malware allows the files to be 'on the fly' decrypted for use, up to the point where the payment demand is posted?? that would mean the decrypt 'key' is intact somewhere, before the demand, allowing normal file use. it seems like a root type with some clever Stuxnet approach.
