Zand posted:its actually spelled "gypped" and its a racist term that means "defrauded" or "swindled"  In the abstract, maybe. Never known a person to use it with racial overtones. Maybe in the 19th Century, but c'mon.

Appelbaum is a known credit thief that regularly used his social power to force himself on people doing actual work, overshadowing and minimizing them to increase his own clout. That he's famous outside tech circles because of this behavior isn't an argument in his favor.

In case you've forgotten, the FBI has access to a Tor 0day, and there's been a little legal dust-up over the matter as Tor tried to get access to it so they could patch it. The FBI has gotten tired of making legal arguments and has gone right ahead and classified their exploit.

On top of this, as another side-effect of the Tor Playpen case, thanks to the presence of online hackers and/or you handing over your IP address when you access a website, a federal court has ruled that you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" on your home computer, and, therefore, law enforcement does not need to get a warrant to hack into it.

US v. Matish, p. 53 posted:Just as the area into which the officer in Carter peered - an apartment - usually is afforded Fourth Amendment protection, a computer afforded Fourth Amendment protection in other circumstances is not protected from Government actors who take advantage of an easily broken system to peer into a user's computer.

Except looking through your window blinds isn't generally a crime, hacking into a computer is explicitly illegal. Which is likely why an appeals court is going to take one glance at this and say "wtf"

hobbesmaster posted:Except looking through your window blinds isn't generally a crime, hacking into a computer is explicitly illegal. But I think the Carter analogy is flawed because a broken window blind is in and of itself an objectively failed privacy protection (that is, with no further intervention on the part of anyone else), while a computer that is in principle vulnerable to attack is not---and in this case the computer wasn't just randomly leaking private information or anything, it was only doing so after malware was crafted specifically to perform that operation was placed on the computer. The fact that the FBI (or anyone else for that matter) has to make a really nontrivial investment in technology and infrastructure to be able to accomplish this is a pretty obvious facial challenge to any comparison to Carter. I mean I think the issue is actually much broader---by a more or less identical argument you could say that no citizen has an objectively reasonable expectation of any of their rights, because it is clearly within the capabilities of the LEA community to deprive people of them. But that has never been and, hopefully, never will be a legal standard. This decision notwithstanding.

The 'broken blinds' argument is a terrible analogy; it would be far more accurate to describe it as being like an easily picked lock.

Denver PD seizes $30k from citizens and uses it to license Geofeedia, acquiring the ability to simultaneously monitor posts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Vine, Periscope, and Flickr, among others. Its location-based search capabilities enable police to vacuum up nearly every social media post emanating from within specified geographical boundaries. The tweets, photos, videos, and live broadcasts of anyone identified by the software within the area are intercepted and recorded by police through a process developers call “geo-fencing.” Denver P.D. denied the Daily Dot access to records concerning the types of social media posts it has acquired through Geofeedia’s platform, describing the posts as “confidential intelligence information.” A request for access to any training materials, or paperwork that would describe the software’s functionality, was also denied. According to police, “the proprietary interests of the manufacturer outweighs any public purpose to be served by release” of said records, if they exist.

That thing just sounds like a scraper that pulls in public social media and allows searching of geotags by distance. A teenager could build this from scratch over a weekend, or in 10 minutes starting from another scraper. I wouldn't compare it to something as sophisticated and nefarious as stingray.

Nah, it's more like hired-gun scanning of social media to control police PR narratives, say, in the aftermath of protesting or police shootings or other instances of 'social disturbance.' Basically part of institutionally sponsored community policing. http://thebaffler.com/salvos/social-media-spin-cantu

Yahoo has been complicit in monitoring their users, scanning most or all users' email for the FBI, NSA, et al. So far, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have all denied doing this (or denied receiving this type of request), while Twitter has partially denied (due to a gag order and a lawsuit resulting from said gag order). If you still had a Yahoo account, might be a good idea to shut it down.

IUG posted:So is Tor still the way to go to help hide your network traffic? I figure this morning showed that I need to start taking my privacy a lot more seriously. TAILS is an OS that will route all traffic through the tor network for you. You can run it via a bootable USB and it will wipe the memory well enough during the shutdown process - https://tails.boum.org/ Whonix is another option as an OS for forcing all traffic through the tor network. Whonix goes as far as compartmentalizing the routing of traffic to its own isolated virtual machine, which it calls the Gateway, and then having a separate VM as your Workstation which works with the Gateway to configure/maintain any connections - https://www.whonix.org/ Keep in mind though, its really important to understand that tor isn't a silver bullet or anything. Please understand this is a privacy tool, not inherently a security tool, and so you must rely on your own actions to a degree - https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning Here's also a handy guide of what the tor browser does and doesn't protect you from: quote:TOR BROWSER CAN

And it's not like I'm doing anything online that I don't want seen, except for downloading linux ISOs. However, if I can just hide the sites from my ISP just so they don't get cataloged or anything, I might as well give myself that privacy. I'm just imagining the Patriot Act 2.0 coming out in the next few years. EDIT: Does the bootable OS still work as well if I run it in a virtual image on my computer (Mac)? I don't think I would want it for my full OS, since I still use programs, like iTunes, that wouldn't work in this OS. IUG fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Nov 9, 2016 |

Ironically, using Tor makes you more interesting to the intelligence agencies, so it's sort of a lose-lose proposition.

It's been known how to identify BT-over-TOR users for over 5 years.
