You guys ever heard of tempest? At least thats what i think its called.

 

Where you can pick up electro-magnetic radiation from keyboards and screens without connecting to them. My friend was telling me the government keeps this rather quiet.

 

I would worry about that more than this new law.

 

 

Yep. TEMPEST is what it's called. It's rather old technology from what I know.

It's use is/was to pick up radiation from the monitor. Keyboard doesn't give

off radiation *unless it's wireless, but that's Infrared.

 

New methods used are directing a mark to a website so a malicious cookie can be installed,

installing keyboard dongles on sneak and peaks, etc.

 

Hackers are also under regular employ. Sniffing traffic comes into play at that point.

yeah i tried showing a video of it to my friend on youtube and it brought up demonstrations from 1970/80's? Its incredible how it works though, still kind of dont believe it lol

 

 

Is there ways of cracking wpa2 yet? i heard its near enough impossible?

 

 

You tell me:

 

 

 

 

You can find whitepapers on the technology behind TEMPEST. Just look...patent searches are sometimes helpful.

Also, military and government use shielded CAT cables.....guess why.

You never know. Use Peerblock. All of you, whether you're a Brit or not.

http://www.peerblock.com/

 

 

FOR MAC PEOPLE

http://phoenixlabs.org/pgosx/

 

If it doesn't load any ip blocklists, check

here http://blocklistpro.com/download-center/

 

you can download and import the lists into peerguardian.

 

I'm bored so I'm going to cobble a little security shit

together for the Brits. If Shai or anyone wants to contribute,

go on. I'm not going into great detail.

 

Plugins for firefox that will keep yo' shit secure:

 

adblock plus

http://adblockplus.org/en/installation

 

betterprivacy

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623

 

torproxy

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5833

 

 

 

TorFOX for googling securely

http://torfox.org/

 

Ixquick for searching without having your search logged or ip stored (same as torfox, maybe better)

http://ixquick.com/

 

portable pidgin (like aim, yahoo, irc, etc in one...but this one comes with encryption)

http://security.ngoinabox.org/pidgin_portable

 

Tor Browser package....portable and not (securely browse the web)

https://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/

 

Notice that in the last pack, you can also download it with pidgin which will also use the tor network....

tor makes you anonymous...or moreso than you are now....

 

be warned, it can be slow.

 

 

Torrentprivacy. Haven't used this, but torrentfreak likes it

https://torrentprivacy.com/?id=start

 

 

 

I'll let someone else talk about VPN's because I'm yawning and getting bored typing to you fools.

If I get a wild hair up my ass and decide that fish n' chips can't be all that bad, and the redcoats

didn't really mean it, I'll tell you more about hiding yourselves.

 

yo casek, so you no longer recommend peerguardian? I'm still using it. Is it wack now?

Peerblock took over where peerguardian left off. PG's development was stopped for some reason and the new project was titled "peerblock". I forget the whole story, but PB is what you

need to use now. It's less of a memory hog.

Why would there be any need for a trial? In the US, a large portion of the infrastructure is privately owned so if an ISP wanted to turn you off and put your name on an internally circulated "do not connect" list, there's really nothing stopping them. You could appeal by suing the ISP but in the meantime you're stuck going to the library or cafe to get online.

 

That's what people have a hard time understanding...there's no God-given right to internet access, and compounding this is the fact that ISPs work with media companies...or ARE media companies (Time-Warner Cable, AKA Comcast).

Here's a big one no one has mentioned. I guess I was kinda waiting....

If you have wireless and someone else breaks your WAP (if you even

have it turned on) and downloads movies, music, whatever....it's you

who gets busted. Without trials, etc. there is no recourse. You can't prove

it wasn't you, etc.

 

Have fun.

we supposedly have a labour government though....

 

...at least untill the election.

 

There's a difference between conservative and Conservative, although I don't think whoever said that really used the right word. The tories of old would be far less likely to pass all this rubbish that new labour have pushed through. Cameron is basically Tony Blair mark 2 though so we can probably look forward to more of the same.
