WikiLeaks about to hit the fan

It will eventually have to JT.

The same applies to the UK, Spendi, which has been much worse.

I know.

Could this denote a spark of hope, a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel?

What do you see that might make that come to pass, Spendi?

The sort of process which changed an organisation, the Virginia Company, into a society, Virginia.

BTW. Virginia is named after Queen Elizabeth the First's hymen.

Gee, spendi, did you take over this thread? LOL

Indeed it should.

The ANZUS treaty seems a little lop-sided to me.

This looks interesting.

The initiative, dubbed Project Mayhem 2012, will take place over the 10-day period from Dec. 12 to Dec. 21, during which the video claims “the World will see an unprecedented amount of Corporate, Financial, Military and State leaks that will have been secretly gathered by millions of CONSCIENTIOUS citizens, vigilantes, whistle blowers and insiders worldwide.”

The group claims to be in the process of developing a Wikileaks-style platform called TYLER where the information can be anonymously posted.

Operation Mayhem and TYLER appear to be references to “Fight Club,” a 1999 film adaptation of the book of the same name in which disgruntled men engaged in bare-knuckle underground fights and anti-corporate sabotage to wage “spiritual war” against credit card companies and modern society in general.

What are their war aims?

I've never been sure with Anonymous.

I just think it's interesting that they would suggest such an action.

It's the kind of activity that would strengthen corporate efforts to censor the web, so I'm not even sure it's legitimate anarchy. Might be a great way to entrap.

It could be being at war for being at war's sake. A teleological method of drawing attention to oneself in the absence of flying lead. The zeitgeist according to Warhol.

Meaning everyone gets their time to shine?

Their ten minutes of fame? Even hiding behind a mask, with a speech-scrambler recording?

That only makes sense if they are caught and exposed.

They eagerly volunteer for the position in the crosswires. A petard job.

Well, until someone comes up with a way to remotely access the internet without going through a server, there is no anonymity.

That sounds like good fun Olga.

We shall see, spendius.
No idea so far of what the leaks will contain.

Look up tor a nice piece of software/network that layer encrypted and then bounce your traffic at random by way of three nodes located around the world.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)

Tor (anonymity network)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search


Tor (short for The Onion Router)[5] is a system intended to enable online anonymity. Tor client software directs internet traffic through a worldwide volunteer network of servers to conceal a user's location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity, including "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages and other communication forms", back to the user[6] and is intended to protect users' personal freedom, privacy, and ability to conduct confidential business by keeping their internet activities from being monitored.

"Onion Routing" refers to the layered nature of the encryption service: The original data are encrypted and re-encrypted multiple times, then sent through successive Tor relays, each one of which decrypts a "layer" of encryption before passing the data on to the next relay and, ultimately, its destination. This reduces the possibility of the original data being unscrambled or understood in transit.[7]

The Tor client is free software and use of the Tor network is free of charge.

Thanks Bill. Nice to know it's there, but not so sure I'm going to give it a try, just yet.

Anonymous must be onto that sort of software for sure. I wonder if uploading information to their site will carry that kind of encryption to assure anonymous postings.

Wikileak does not need to be running tor only you and you can hook up a ssl connection by way of tor network to wikileak and no one along the line can know what you are talking to them about or where you happen to be.

Now you run the software and it created a network/tunnel of three nodes, the first node know your isp address but not the content of your information or where it is bound for other then the address of the second node.

Oh your isp does not know the content of the information either or where it is bound for other then to the first node of the network.

The second node just know that it was handed the information from the first node and the exit node address, the exit node know the content of the information as it is the node that decryped the information and place in in the clear on the internet going to wikileak website for example but it does not know where the information came from and it can not be trace back to you over the internet.

Now if you do not wish to have the information in the clear at any point you just set up a ssl connection with wikileak website over your tor network before sending whatever information you wish to send them.

Oh the information flow is of course both ways and you hardly know you are using the system instead of just the open internet except for it being slower due to the overhead of the encrypting and the bouncing of your traffic over a large part of the world.

Beside security you can tell tor what country you wish the exit node to be in and by doing so bypass any country only limits.

For example the BBC had content that is not available to anyone with an out of england isp address so by setting the exit node in the UK you can sit in the US and get that content with no problem.

Then there is the darknet capability of this software but that is beyond what I am sure you are interest in at the moment.
