 AS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS struggle to agree on which surveillance

might consider the unusual advice of an intelligence analyst

at the National Security Agency who warned about the danger

of collecting too much data. Imagine, the analyst wrote in

a leaked document, that you are standing in a shopping aisle

trying to decide between jam, jelly or fruit spread, which

size, sugar-free or not, generic or Smucker’s. It can be

paralyzing. ... ...

¤ US Government Designated Prominent Al Jazeera Journalist

as “Member of Al Qaeda” ::

 

 The document cites Zaidan as an example to demonstrate the

powers of SKYNET, a program that analyzes location and

communication data (or “metadata”) from bulk call records

in order to detect suspicious patterns.

 

 In the Terminator movies, SKYNET is a self-aware military

computer system that launches a nuclear war to exterminate

the human race, and then systematically kills the survivors.

 

 According to the presentation, the NSA uses its version of

SKYNET to identify people that it believes move like couriers

used by Al Qaeda’s senior leadership. The program assessed

Zaidan as a likely match, which raises troubling questions

about the US government’s method of identifying terrorist

targets based on metadata.

 

 It appears, however, that Zaidan had already been identified

as an Al Qaeda member before he showed up on SKYNET’s radar.

That he was already assigned a watch list number would seem

to indicate that the government had a prior intelligence

file on him. The Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment,

or TIDE, is a US government database of over one million

names suspected of a connection to terrorism, which is

shared across the US intelligence community.

 

The presentation contains no evidence to explain the designation.

 Most people realize that emails and other digital communications

they once considered private can now become part of their

permanent record.

 

 But even as they increasingly use apps that understand what

they say, most people don’t realize that the words they speak

are not so private anymore, either.

 

 Top-secret documents from the archive of former NSA contractor

Edward Snowden show the National Security Agency can now

automatically recognize the content within phone calls by

creating rough transcripts and phonetic representations that

can be easily searched and stored.

 

 The documents show NSA analysts celebrating the development

of what they called “Google for Voice” nearly a decade ago.

Warrantless Spying ::

 

 The secrecy surrounding the National Security Agency’s

post-9/11 warrantless surveillance and bulk data collection

program hampered its effectiveness, and many members of the

intelligence community later struggled to identify any

specific terrorist attacks it thwarted, a newly declassified

document shows.

 

 The document is a lengthy report on a once secret NSA

program code-named Stellarwind. The report was a joint

project in 2009 by inspectors general for five intelligence

and law enforcement agencies, and it was withheld from the

public at the time, although a short, unclassified version

was made public. The government released a redacted version

of the full report to The New York Times on Friday evening

in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

¤ NSA Torus Receivers of 35 Satellite Signals ::

 

 At three satellite facilities, in Britain, Cyprus and New Zealand,

there's a special antenna that allows NSA's partner agencies a

significant increase in their capability to collect satellite

communications.

 

 This antenna is called Torus, and while conventional parabolic

dish antennas can only view one satellite at a time, one single

Torus antenna is able to receive the signals from up to 35

communications satellites.

 

 These rare and expensive Torus antennas are used by some television

networks, but a close look at photos of the Five Eyes satellite

stations has now revealed the locations where Torus antennas are

also used for gathering signals intelligence.

 Top-secret documents obtained by the CBC show Canada’s

electronic spy agency has developed a vast arsenal of

cyberwarfare tools alongside its US and British counterparts

to hack into computers and phones in many parts of the

world, including in friendly trade countries like Mexico

and hotspots like the Middle East. ... ...

 

 The CSE toolbox includes the ability to redirect someone

to a fake website, create unrest by pretending to be

another government or hacker, and siphon classified

information out of computer networks, according to experts

who viewed the documents. ... ...

 

 But the latest top-secret documents released to CBC News

and The Intercept illustrate the development of a large

stockpile of Canadian cyber-spy capabilities that go beyond

hacking for intelligence, including:

 

• destroying infrastructure, which could include electricity,

transportation or banking systems;

 

• creating unrest by using false-flags — ie. making a target

think another country conducted the operation;

 

• disrupting online traffic by such techniques as deleting

emails, freezing internet connections, blocking websites and

redirecting wire money transfers.

¤ Leaked Snowden Files Show Most of GCSB’s Targets Are NOT

Security Threats to New Zealand (UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES) ::

 

 New Zealand’s electronic surveillance agency, the GCSB, has

dramatically expanded its spying operations during the years

of John Key's National Government and is automatically funnelling

vast amounts of intelligence to the US National Security Agency,

top-secret documents reveal.

 

 Since 2009, the Government Communications Security Bureau

intelligence base at Waihopai has moved to “full-take collection”,

indiscriminately intercepting Asia-Pacific communications and

providing them en masse to the NSA through the controversial

NSA intelligence system XKeyscore, which is used to monitor

emails and internet browsing habits. ... ...

 

 New Zealand is selling out its close relations with the Pacific

nations to be close with the United States, author Nicky Hager

has said.

 

 Hager, in conjunction with the New Zealand Herald and the

Intercept news site, revealed today how New Zealand’s spies

are targeting the entire email, phone and social media

communications of the country’s closest, friendliest and

most vulnerable neighbours.

 

 This morning, Hager told Radio New Zealand that the documents

revealed even more countries which New Zealand was spying on,

and more information would come.

 

 “The Five Eyes countries led by the US are literally trying

to spy on every country in the world ... and what we’re going

to be hearing about in the next few days is New Zealand in all

kinds of very surprising ways playing a role in that,” he said.

 AMERICAN AND BRITISH spies hacked into the internal computer network

of the largest manufacturer of SIM cards in the world, stealing

encryption keys used to protect the privacy of cellphone communications

across the globe, according to top-secret documents provided to The

Intercept by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

 

 The hack was perpetrated by a joint unit consisting of operatives

from the NSA and its British counterpart Government Communications

Headquarters, or GCHQ. The breach, detailed in a secret 2010 GCHQ

document, gave the surveillance agencies the potential to secretly

monitor a large portion of the world’s cellular communications,

including both voice and data.

¤ NSA Documents Expose NSA’s Digital Arms Race for Cyber Warfare ::

 

 The NSA’s mass surveillance is just the beginning. Documents from

Edward Snowden show that the intelligence agency is arming America

for future digital wars -- a struggle for control of the Internet

that is already well underway.

 

 Normally, internship applicants need to have polished resumes,

with volunteer work on social projects considered a plus. But at

Politerain, the job posting calls for candidates with significantly

different skill sets. We are, the ad says, “looking for interns who

want to break things.”

 

 Politerain is not a project associated with a conventional company.

It is run by a US government intelligence organization, the National

Security Agency (NSA). More precisely, it’s operated by the NSA’s

digital snipers with Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the department

responsible for breaking into computers.

 

 Potential interns are also told that research into third party

computers might include plans to “remotely degrade or destroy

opponent computers, routers, servers and network enabled devices

by attacking the hardware.” Using a program called Passionatepolka,

for example, they may be asked to “remotely brick network cards."

With programs like Berserkr they would implant “persistent backdoors”

and “parasitic drivers.” Using another piece of software called

Barnfire, they would “erase the BIOS on a brand of servers that

act as a backbone to many rival governments.”

 

 An intern’s tasks might also include remotely destroying the

functionality of hard drives. Ultimately, the goal of the internship

program was “developing an attacker’s mindset.”

 

 The internship listing is eight years old, but the attacker’s mindset

has since become a kind of doctrine for the NSA’s data spies. And the

intelligence service isn’t just trying to achieve mass surveillance

of Internet communication, either. The digital spies of the Five Eyes

alliance -- comprised of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia

and New Zealand -- want more.

_______________________________________

¤ Prying Eyes: Inside the NSA’s War on Internet Security ::

 

 US and British intelligence agencies undertake every effort imaginable

to crack all types of encrypted Internet communication. The cloud, it

seems, is full of holes. The good news: New Snowden documents show that

some forms of encryption still cause problems for the NSA. ... ...

 

 As one document from the Snowden archive shows, the NSA had been

unsuccessful in attempts to decrypt several communications protocols,

at least as of 2012. An NSA presentation for a conference that took

place that year lists the encryption programs the Americans failed to

crack. In the process, the NSA cryptologists divided their targets

into five levels corresponding to the degree of the difficulty of the

attack and the outcome, ranging from “trivial” to “catastrophic.”

 

 Monitoring a document’s path through the Internet is classified as

“trivial.” Recording Facebook chats is considered a “minor” task,

while the level of difficulty involved in decrypting emails sent

through Moscow-based Internet service provider mail.ru is considered

“moderate.” Still, all three of those classifications don’t appear to

pose any significant problems for the NSA.

 

 Things first become troublesome at the fourth level. The presentation

states that the NSA encounters “major” problems in its attempts to

decrypt messages sent through heavily encrypted email service providers

like Zoho or in monitoring users of the Tor network, which was

developed for surfing the web anonymously. Tor, otherwise known as

The Onion Router, is free and open source software that allows users

to surf the web through a network of more than 6,000 linked volunteer

computers. The software automatically encrypts data in a way that

ensures that no single computer in the network has all of a user’s

information. For surveillance experts, it becomes very difficult to

trace the whereabouts of a person who visits a particular website or

to attack a specific person while they are using Tor to surf the Web.

 

 The NSA also has “major” problems with Truecrypt, a program for

encrypting files on computers. Truecrypt’s developers stopped their

work on the program last May, prompting speculation about pressures

from government agencies. A protocol called Off-the-Record (OTR) for

encrypting instant messaging in an end-to-end encryption process also

seems to cause the NSA major problems. Both are programs whose source

code can be viewed, modified, shared and used by anyone. Experts agree

it is far more difficult for intelligence agencies to manipulate open

source software programs than many of the closed systems developed by

companies like Apple and Microsoft. Since anyone can view free and

open source software, it becomes difficult to insert secret back doors

without it being noticed. Transcripts of intercepted chats using OTR

encryption handed over to the intelligence agency by a partner in

Prism -- an NSA program that accesses data from at least nine American

internet companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple -- show that

the NSA’s efforts appear to have been thwarted in these cases: “No

decrypt available for this OTR message.” This shows that OTR at least

sometimes makes communications impossible to read for the NSA.

 

 Things become “catastrophic” for the NSA at level five - when, for

example, a subject uses a combination of Tor, another anonymization

service, the instant messaging system CSpace and a system for Internet

telephony (voice over IP) called ZRTP. This type of combination results

in a “near-total loss/lack of insight to target communications, presence,”

the NSA document states.

 

 ZRTP, which is used to securely encrypt conversations and text chats

on mobile phones, is used in free and open source programs like RedPhone

and Signal. “It’s satisfying to know that the NSA considers encrypted

communication from our apps to be truly opaque,” says RedPhone developer

Moxie Marlinspike.

¤ Operation AURORAGOLD: How the NSA Hacks Cellphone Networks Worldwide ::

 

 Codenamed AURORAGOLD, the covert operation has monitored the content of

messages sent and received by more than 1,200 email accounts associated

with major cellphone network operators, intercepting confidential company

planning papers that help the NSA hack into phone networks.

 

 One high-profile surveillance target is the GSM Association, an influential

UK-headquartered trade group that works closely with large US-based firms

including Microsoft, Facebook, AT&T, and Cisco, and is currently being

funded by the US government to develop privacy-enhancing technologies.

 

 Karsten Nohl, a leading cellphone security expert and cryptographer who

was consulted by The Intercept about details contained in the AURORAGOLD

documents, said that the broad scope of information swept up in the operation

appears aimed at ensuring virtually every cellphone network in the world is

NSA accessible.

¤ Germany’s Intelligence Agency, the BND, Spies On Civilians Too ::

 

 German MPs examining the surveillance activities the US National

Security Agency have found a legal loophole that allows the Berlin’s

foreign intelligence agency to spy on its own citizens.

 

 The agency, known by its German acronym BND, is not usually allowed

to intercept communications made by Germans or German companies, but a

former BND lawyer told parliament this week that citizens working abroad

for foreign companies were not protected.

 

 The German government confirmed on Saturday that work-related calls

or emails were attributed to the employer. As a result, if the employer

is foreign, the BND could legally intercept them.

 

 Angela Merkel pretends to be outraged about industrial espionage by

the NSA while condoning illegal surveillance itself.

¤ How Vodafone-Subsidiary Telecom Aided GCHQ’s Spying Efforts ::

 

 Previously unpublished documents show how the UK telecom firm Cable

& Wireless, acquired by Vodafone in 2012, played a key role in

establishing one of the Government Communications Headquarters’

(GCHQ) most controversial surveillance programs.

 

 A joint investigation by NDR, WDR, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Channel 4

based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, reveals

that Cable & Wireless actively shaped and provided the most data to

GCHQ mass surveillance programs, and received millions of pounds in

compensation. The documents also suggest that Cable & Wireless

assisted GCHQ in breaking into a competitor’s network.

 

 In response to these allegations, Vodafone said that an internal

investigation found no evidence of unlawful conduct, but the company

would not deny it happened.

¤ The German Operation Eikonal Part of NSA’s RAMPART-A Program ::

 

 Just over a week ago, the regional German paper Süddeutsche Zeitung

and the regional broadcasters NDR and WDR came with a story saying that

between 2004 and 2008, the German foreign intelligence service BND had

tapped into the Frankfurt internet exchange DE-CIX and shared the

intercepted data with the NSA. As not all communications of German

citizens could be filtered out, this is considered a violation of the

constitution.

 

 Here we will give a summary of what is currently known about this BND

operation and we will combine this with information from earlier reports.

This will show that it was most likely part of the RAMPART-A program of

the NSA, which includes similar interception efforts by foreign partner

agencies. Finally, we will look at where exactly the BND interception

might have taken place.

¤ Core Secrets: NSA Saboteurs in China and Germany

 

 The National Security Agency has had agents in China, Germany,

and South Korea working on programs that use “physical subversion”

to infiltrate and compromise networks and devices, according to

documents obtained by The Intercept.

 

 The documents, leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, also

indicate that the agency has used “under cover” operatives to gain

access to sensitive data and systems in the global communications

industry, and that these secret agents may have even dealt with

American firms. The documents describe a range of clandestine field

activities that are among the agency’s “core secrets” when it comes

to computer network attacks, details of which are apparently shared

with only a small number of officials outside the NSA.

 

 “It’s something that many people have been wondering about for a

long time,” said Chris Soghoian, principal technologist for the

American Civil Liberties Union, after reviewing the documents.

“I’ve had conversations with executives at tech companies about

this precise thing. How do you know the NSA is not sending people

into your data centers?”

 

 Previous disclosures about the NSA’s corporate partnerships have

focused largely on US companies providing the agency with vast amounts

of customer data, including phone records and email traffic. But

documents published today by The Intercept suggest that even as the

agency uses secret operatives to penetrate them, companies have also

cooperated more broadly to undermine the physical infrastructure of

the internet than has been previously confirmed.

 

 In addition to so-called “close access” operations, the NSA’s “core

secrets” include the fact that the agency works with US and foreign

companies to weaken their encryption systems; the fact that the NSA

spends “hundreds of millions of dollars” on technology to defeat

commercial encryption; and the fact that the agency works with US

and foreign companies to penetrate computer networks, possibly without

the knowledge of the host countries. Many of the NSA’s core secrets

concern its relationships to domestic and foreign corporations.

 

 Some of the documents in this article appear in a new documentary,

CITIZENFOUR, which tells the story of the Snowden disclosures and is

directed by Intercept co-founder Laura Poitras. The documents describe

a panoply of programs classified with the rare designation of

“Exceptionally Compartmented Information,” or ECI, which are only

disclosed to a “very select” number of government officials.

http://www.infowars.com/cointelrpo-revisited-greenwald-exposes-nsa-agenda-to-destroy-journalists/

 

 One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the

Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting

to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of

deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of

that story, complete with the relevant documents.

 

 Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a

series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously

secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These

were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA

and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes”

alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new

JTRIG document, in full, entitled “The Art of Deception: Training

for Online Covert Operations.”

¤ Hacking Online Polls and Other Ways British Spies

Seek to Control the Internet ::

 

 The secretive British spy agency GCHQ has developed

covert tools to seed the internet with false information,

including the ability to manipulate the results of online

polls, artificially inflate pageview counts on web sites,

“amplify” sanctioned messages on YouTube, and censor video

content judged to be “extremist.” The capabilities, detailed

in documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden,

even include an old standby for pre-adolescent prank callers

everywhere: A way to connect two unsuspecting phone users

together in a call.

 

 The tools were created by GCHQ’s Joint Threat Research

Intelligence Group (JTRIG), and constitute some of the most

startling methods of propaganda and internet deception

contained within the Snowden archive. Previously disclosed

documents have detailed JTRIG’s use of “fake victim blog

posts,” “false flag operations,” “honey traps” and

psychological manipulation to target online activists,

monitor visitors to WikiLeaks, and spy on YouTube and

Facebook users.

¤ More Details on GCHQ Propaganda/Deception Tactics ::

 

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/04/04/cuban-twitter-scam-social-media-tool-disseminating-government-propaganda/

 

 This week, the Associated Press exposed a secret

program run by the US Agency for International

Development to create “a Twitter-like Cuban

communications network” run through “secret shell

companies” in order to create the false appearance

of being a privately owned operation. Unbeknownst

to the service’s Cuban users was the fact that

“American contractors were gathering their private

data in the hope that it might be used for political

purposes”–specifically, to manipulate those users

in order to foment dissent in Cuba and subvert its

government. According to top-secret documents

published today by The Intercept, this sort of

operation is frequently discussed at western

intelligence agencies, which have plotted ways to

covertly use social media for “propaganda,” “deception,”

“mass messaging,” and “pushing stories.” ...

 

¤ GCHQ Full Spectrum Cyber Effects ::

 

“Destroy Deny Degrade Disrupt Deceive Protect”

 

http://cryptome.org/2014/04/gchq-full-spectrum-cyber.pdf

 

 ... The annual SIGDEV conference, according to one

NSA document published today by The Intercept, “enables

unprecedented visibility of SIGINT Development activities

from across the Extended Enterprise, Second Party and US

Intelligence communities.” The 2009 Conference, held at

Fort Meade, included “eighty-six representatives from

the wider US Intelligence Community, covering agencies

as diverse as CIA (a record 50 participants), the Air

Force Research Laboratory and the National Air and

Space Intelligence Center.”

 

 Defenders of surveillance agencies have often insinuated

that such proposals are nothing more than pipe dreams

and wishful thinking on the part of intelligence agents.

But these documents are not merely proposals or hypothetical

scenarios. As described by the NSA document published

today, the purpose of SIGDEV presentations is “to

synchronize discovery efforts, share breakthroughs,

and swap knowledge on the art of analysis.”

 

 For instance: One of the programs described by the newly

released GCHQ document is dubbed “Royal Concierge,” under

which the British agency intercepts email confirmations

of hotel reservations to enable it to subject hotel

guests to electronic monitoring. It also contemplates

how to “influence the hotel choice” of travelers and

to determine whether they stay at “SIGINT friendly”

hotels. The document asks: “Can we influence the hotel

choice? Can we cancel their visit?” ...

 The documents from the GCHQ (the British equivalent

of the NSA), titled “The Art of Deception: Training

for Online Covert Operations,” were given to the

NSA and leaked by Snowden. They reveal that the

GCHQ is involved, through a unit known as JTRIG

(Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group), in

“the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the

targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS

attacks they accuse “hacktivists” of using, the

use of honey traps (luring people into compromising

situations using sex) and destructive viruses.”

 

 The goals of the JTRIG program are “(1) to inject

all sorts of false material onto the internet in

order to destroy the reputation of its targets;

and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques

to manipulate online discourse and activism to

generate outcomes it considers desirable.”

 Fugitive Edward Snowden on Friday challenged the

NSA’s insistence that it has no evidence he tried

to raise concerns about the agency’s surveillance

activity before he began leaking government documents

to reporters, calling the response a “clearly tailored

and incomplete leak ... for a political advantage.”

 

 “The NSA’s new discovery of written contact between

me and its lawyers -- after more than a year of denying

any such contact existed - raises serious concerns,”

Snowden said in an email Friday to NBC News. “It

reveals as false the NSA’s claim to Barton Gellman

of the Washington Post in December of last year, that

‘after extensive investigation, including interviews

with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we

have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden’s

contention that he brought these matters to anyone’s

attention.’”

 

 Snowden’s email followed Thursday’s release by the US

Office of the Director of Intelligence of an email

exchange between Snowden and the NSA’s Office of the

General Counsel. The Washington Post received and

published a similar response from Snowden on Thursday.

KILLCEN ; Eyeballing Snowden’s Info

 

 Includes all news reports, videos, images, slides and

documents from and related to Snowden’s leaks so far,

up to September 5th of 2014. I’m still collecting any

information that comes out and will provide an updated

archive twice per year.

 

 Due to the enormous size of this current archive, the

archive has been split concurrent to the names of each

file and directory in alphabetical order to facilitate

the size limit while uploading to the file hosts below.

 

 After decompression, the first folder is titled “Eyeballing_

Snowden_Info_Folder_01” and the second is titled “Eyeballing_

Snowden_Info_Folder_02” , both holding a total of 1,668 files

(1.37GB) after being decompressed and consolidated.

 

 This was stored on an old OFFLINE system, without any

WiFi card or modem attached so the archive is safe from

being modified, exploited or stolen.

¤ Executive Order 12333: They Do Spy on Americans ::

 

 John Tye is but the latest surveillance whistleblower,

though he took pains to distinguish himself from Snowden

and his approach to dissent. “Before I left the State

Department, I filed a complaint with the department’s

inspector general, arguing that the current system of

collection and storage of communications by US persons

under Executive Order 12333 violates the Fourth Amendment,

which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures,”

Tye explained. “I have also brought my complaint to the

House and Senate intelligence committees and to the

inspector general of the NSA.”

 

 These steps — which many say Snowden should’ve taken —

produced no changes to the objectionable NSA spying and

wouldn’t be garnering attention at all if not for

Snowden’s leaks.

¤ NSA’s New Partner in Spying ; Saudi Arabia’s Brutal State Police ::

 

 The National Security Agency last year significantly expanded

its cooperative relationship with the Saudi Ministry of Interior,

one of the world’s most repressive and abusive government agencies.

An April 2013 top secret memo provided by NSA whistleblower Edward

Snowden details the agency’s plans “to provide direct analytic and

technical support” to the Saudis on “internal security” matters.

 

 The Saudi Ministry of Interior—referred to in the document as MOI

— has been condemned for years as one of the most brutal human rights

violators in the world. In 2013, the U.S. State Department reported

that “Ministry of Interior officials sometimes subjected prisoners

and detainees to torture and other physical abuse,” specifically

mentioning a 2011 episode in which MOI agents allegedly “poured an

antiseptic cleaning liquid down [the] throat” of one human rights

activist. The report also notes the MOI’s use of invasive surveillance

targeted at political and religious dissidents.

 

 But as the State Department publicly catalogued those very abuses,

the NSA worked to provide increased surveillance assistance to the

ministry that perpetrated them. The move is part of the Obama

Administration’s increasingly close ties with the Saudi regime;

beyond the new cooperation with the MOI, the memo describes “a

period of rejuvenation” for the NSA’s relationship with the Saudi

Ministry of Defense.

 

 In general, US support for the Saudi regime is long-standing. One

secret 2007 NSA memo lists Saudi Arabia as one of four countries

where the US “has [an] interest in regime continuity.”

 According to documents provided by NSA whistleblower

Edward Snowden, the list of Americans monitored by their

own government includes:

 

 • Faisal Gill, a longtime Republican Party operative and

one-time candidate for public office who held a top-secret

security clearance and served in the Department of Homeland

Security under President George W. Bush;

 

 • Asim Ghafoor, a prominent attorney who has represented

clients in terrorism-related cases;

 

 • Hooshang Amirahmadi, an Iranian-American professor of

international relations at Rutgers University;

 

 • Agha Saeed, a former political science professor at

California State University who champions Muslim civil

liberties and Palestinian rights;

 

 • Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on

American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil

rights organization in the country.

¤ Some New Thoughts on the Snowden Cache ::

 

http://members.efn.org/~paulmd/SomeNewThoughtsontheSnowdenCache.html

 

 “So, apparently the Snowden cache contains quite a large number

of intercepted communications, not just technical documents,

PowerPoint slides, and memos. This opens up a whole can of worms,

and some new possibilities for the cache.

 

 Worms first: several journalists have access to an incredibly

sensitive cache of personal information. According to some NSA

defenders: Snowden has committed a horrible privacy violation

of thousands of innocent Americans. This is a big problem, but

it requires some mental gymnastics not to recognize that if

Snowden had violated the privacy of innocents by giving this

information to journalists, so had the NSA by storing it in the

first place.  Realistically, it’s not one or the other, it’s

both. Now that we know what it contains, the long term storage

of that portion cache by journalists becomes very problematic.

On one hand: it’s evidence, on the other, it’s private information

on many thousands of people.

 

 While there are some problems, there are also new possibilities.

First, it could be a boon for defendants, and those facing legal

jeopardy, to confront the evidence against them, to receive a

genuinely fair trial. This is doubly important for drug cases,

particularly those with DEA involvement, because of the highly

questionably practice of Parallel Reconstruction, wherein

classified evidence is laundered, and is reconstructed using

traditional methods. In effect: perjury. Second, it is prima

facie evidence to use in lawsuits against the NSA, proof that

a plaintiff had been spied on. Third, one of the wilder stories:

Snowden to Reveal the Secrets of Arab Dictators, really can

happen now. The US government’s dealings with brutal regimes

are newsworthy, so are the dealings of those regimes against

their own people.

 

 One of the things that makes Cablegate so powerful, and

simultaneously controversial, is the ability of ordinary

citizens to query it, and learn what the government had kept

hidden. In at least one case, it allowed a rendition victim

to seek justice. I am not suggesting leaking it out in full,

but ways of allowing ordinary citizens the ability to get

their own communications, and broadening access, should be

considered. Contrary to the opinions of those who described

the Post’s story as a dud, it’s the first page of the next

chapter of the Snowden Saga, with wide-reaching, and

unpredictable consequences.”

 It is one of the most sensitive secrets of the NSA,

the engine of the global monitoring machine: the source

code of the XKeyscore program, the most comprehensive

Ausspähprogramm of US foreign intelligence.

 

 NDR and WDR have excerpts of the source code. Parts of

the collection infrastructure ie, so-called software rules

that define the intelligence, what or who they want to

investigate.

 

 There are only a few numbers and characters to string

together the programmer. But when the program executes

XKeyscore these rules, get people and their data in their

sights. The connections from computers to the Internet

are identified and stored in a database type. The users

are quasi marked. It is the dragnet of the 21st century.

 “Just because you’re using Tor doesn’t mean that your

a colleague of Hansen’s who also specializes in browser

vulnerabilities.

 

 As Grossman described the procedure to CNET, the NSA is

aware of Tor’s entry and exit nodes because of its Internet

wide surveillance.

 

 “The very feature that makes Tor a powerful anonymity

service, and the fact that all Tor users look alike on the

Internet, makes it easy to differentiate Tor users from

other Web users,” he wrote.

 

 “The NSA then cookies that ad, so that every time you go

to a site, the cookie identifies you. Even though your IP

address changed [because of Tor], the cookies gave you away,”

he said.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/nsa-gchq-attack-tor-network-encryption

 

¤ NSA ; Tor Source Code Vulnerabilities ::

 

 “We have seen several targets using Tor. Our goal was to

analyze Tor source code and determine any vulnerabilities

in the system. We set up an internal Tor network to analyze

Tor traffic, in the hopes of discovering ways to passively

identify it. We also worked to create a custom Tor client

which allows the user finer control.” ... ...

 

 “This accomplishes several things. Most basically, the Tor

servers, many of which are listed on publicly advertised

directory servers, are chosen to act as a series of proxies.

This may seem to be excessively complex, as a single proxy

server can be used to hide one’s location, but a single-hop

proxy is vulnerable in two ways. First, by analyzing the

pattern of the traffic going to and from the proxy server,

it is possible to deduce which clients are making which requests.

Second, if an attacker owns the proxy server, then it certainly

knows who is asking for what, and anonymization is ruined. By

using multiple hops, Tor is much more resistant to both of

these attacks. Traffic analysis becomes extraordinarily

difficult, as it must be coordinated across several machines,

and an attacker must own all the hops along the circuit in

order to trace requests back to the originating client.”

 

... ...

 

 “In our time in the lab, we found that running an nmap on a

node that is offering a hidden service will turn up the port

that the hidden service is using to deal with incoming

connections. It can then be directly connected to, outside

of Tor.”

 

... ...

 

 “We would have to try to connect to each of the ports we see

open on a machine to determine if there is a hidden service

being run. We would not even know which protocol the hidden

service is running. It may be an HTTP server, an FTP server,

an SMTP server, etc. The only thing we know is that the protocol

must run over TCP. It is not enough to attempt to connect once

to each port, using an HTTP GET request. Several protocols must

be tried.”

 

... ...

 

 “It may also be useful to study Tor directory servers in more

detail. Our work focused solely on the client, but many attacks

would be much easier with access to more Tor servers. The

directory servers ultimately control which Tor servers are

used by clients. We have found that a server can put itself on

a directory server multiple times; all it takes is the server

running several Tor processes, each having a different nickname,

open port, fingerprint, and LOG FILE. This only requires different

configuration files for the different processes, which are easy

to set up. That machine will handle a disproportionate amount of

traffic, since it is listed several times. This increases the

density of friendly servers in the cloud without increasing the

number of servers we have set up. Unfortunately, each listing

has the same IP address, which would be very noticeable to anyone

who inspecting the directories.”

¤ UPDATE ; Der Spiegel Exposed Spy Scandle Between US-Germany, ;

Angela Merkel Plans to Scrap No-spy Agreement with US-Britain ::

 

 A new surveillance scandal is threatening to unsettle US-German

relations after it emerged that an employee of Germany’s

intelligence agency has been arrested under suspicion of acting

as a double agent for the US.

 

 According to several reports in the German media, a 31-year-old

member of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) administration

department in Pullach was on Wednesday arrested by the country’s

federal prosecutor, originally under suspicion of passing on

information to Russian intelligence services. ... ...

 

 The plan is in response to the scandal resulting from last

week’s arrest of a 31-year-old BND “double agent” who spent

at least two years selling top-secret German intelligence

documents to his US spymasters in return for cash payments

of €10,000 (£7,940) per document. ...

 

 The double agent is reported to have simply emailed Berlin’s

American embassy and asked whether officials were interested

in “co-operation”. He subsequently downloaded at least 300

secret documents on to USB sticks that he handed to his

American spymasters at secret location in Austria.

 

 He was caught by German counter-espionage agents only after

he was found offering similar BND documents to Berlin’s Russian

embassy. The Germans had considered it “impossible” that one

of their own intelligence men could be working as a “double agent”

for the Americans.

¤ NSA Whistleblower Russel Tice Reveals NSA Has

Documents “Above Top Secret” and Many Are Burned

After Covert Operations, Routinely ::

 

 “Think of it this way. Remember I told you about the

NSA doing everything they could to make sure that the

information from 40 years ago – from spying on Frank

Church and Lord knows how many other Congressman that

they were spying on – was hidden?

 

 Now do you think they’re going to put that information

into Powerpoint slides that are easy to explain to

everybody what they’re doing?

 

 They would not even put their own NSA designators on

the reports [so that no one would know that] it came

from the NSA. They made the reports look like they were

Humint (human intelligence) reports. They did it to

hide the fact that they were NSA and they were doing

the collection. That’s 40 years ago. [The NSA and other

agencies are still doing "parallel construction",

"laundering" information to hide the fact that the

information is actually from mass NSA surveillance.]

 

 Now, what NSA is doing right now is that they’re taking

the information and they’re putting it in a much higher

security level. It’s called “ECI” – Exceptionally Controlled

Information – and it’s called the black program … which I

was a specialist in, by the way.

 

 I specialized in black world – DOD and IC (Intelligence

Community) – programs, operations and missions … in “VRKs”,

“ECIs”, and “SAPs”, “STOs”. SAP equals Special Access

Program. It’s highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access

to these. STO equals Special Technical Operations It’s

highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access to these.

 

 Now in that world – the ECI/VRK world – everything in that

system is classified at a higher level and it has its own

computer systems that house it. It’s totally separate than

the system which Mr. Snowden was privy to, which was called

the “JWICS”: Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications

System. The JWICS system is what everybody at NSA has access

to. Mr Snowden had Sys Admin [systems administrator] authority

for the JWICS.

 

 And you still have to have TS/SCI clearance [i.e. Top Secret/

Sensitive Compartmented Information - also known as “code word”

- clearance] to get on the JWICS. But the ECI/VRK systems are

much higher[levels of special compartmentalized clearance]

than the JWICS. And you have to be in the black world to get

that [clearance].

 

 ECI = Exceptionally Controlled Information. I do not believe

Mr. Snowden had any access to these ECI controlled networks).

VRK = Very Restricted Knowledge. I do not believe Mr. Snowden

had any access to these VRK controlled networks.

 

 These programs typically have, at the least, a requirement of

100 year or until death, ’till the person first being “read in”

[i.e. sworn to secrecy as part of access to the higher

classification program] can talk about them. [As an interesting

sidenote, the Washington Times reported in 2006 that – when Tice

offered to testify to Congress about this illegal spying – he

was informed by the NSA that the Senate and House intelligence

committees were not cleared to hear such information.]

 

 It’s very compartmentalized and – even with stuff that they had

– you might have something at NSA, that there’s literally 40

people at NSA that know that it’s going on in the entire agency.

 

 When the stuff came out in the New York Times [the first big

spying story, which broke in 2005] – and I was a source of

information for the New York Times – that’s when President Bush

made up that nonsense about the “terrorist surveillance program.”

By the way, that never existed. That was made up.

 

 There was no such thing beforehand. It was made up … to try

to placate the American people.

 

 The NSA IG (Inspector General) – who was not cleared for this –

all of a sudden is told he has to do an investigation on this;

something he has no information or knowledge of.

 

 So what they did, is they took a few documents and they

downgraded [he classification level of the documents] – just

a few – and gave them to them to placate this basic whitewash

investigation.”

▼ Snowden Strikes Back at NSA, Emails NBC News ::

 

 Fugitive Edward Snowden on Friday challenged the

NSA’s insistence that it has no evidence he tried

to raise concerns about the agency’s surveillance

activity before he began leaking government documents

to reporters, calling the response a “clearly tailored

and incomplete leak ... for a political advantage.”

 

 “The NSA’s new discovery of written contact between

me and its lawyers -- after more than a year of denying

any such contact existed - raises serious concerns,”

Snowden said in an email Friday to NBC News. “It

reveals as false the NSA’s claim to Barton Gellman

of the Washington Post in December of last year, that

‘after extensive investigation, including interviews

contention that he brought these matters to anyone’s

attention.’”

 

 Snowden’s email followed Thursday’s release by the US

Office of the Director of Intelligence of an email

exchange between Snowden and the NSA’s Office of the

General Counsel. The Washington Post received and

published a similar response from Snowden on Thursday.

 The Snowden files do not indicate whether NSA granted

GCHQ’s request, but they do show that the NSA was

“supportive” of the idea, and that GCHQ was permitted

extensive access to PRISM during the London Olympics

in 2012. The request for the broad access was

communicated at “leadership” level, according to

the documents. Neither agency would comment on the

proposed arrangement or whether it was approved. … …

 

 The data sharing between the agencies during the

Olympics, though, was not isolated to PRISM. … …

The NSA was funneling troves of intercepted data

to GCHQ from a system called GHOSTMACHINE, a massive

cloud database used by the NSA to analyze metadata

and store, according to one document in the Snowden

archive, “100s of billions of entries.”

¤ NSA MYSTIC Telephone Interception Program ::

 

http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1086618/mysticssoweeklybrief.pdf

http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1086616/fromsso-key-brief-overview.pdf

http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1088934/mystic-tearsheet-cropped-v2.pdf

 

 The National Security Agency has built a surveillance

system capable of recording “100 percent” of a foreign

country’s telephone calls, enabling the agency to rewind

and review conversations as long as a month after they

take place, according to people with direct knowledge of

the effort and documents supplied by former contractor

Edward Snowden.

 

 A senior manager for the program compares it to a time

machine — one that can replay the voices from any call

without requiring that a person be identified in advance

for surveillance.

 

 The voice interception program, called MYSTIC, began in

2009. Its RETRO tool, short for “retrospective retrieval,”

and related projects reached full capacity against the

first target nation in 2011. Planning documents two years

later anticipated similar operations elsewhere.

 

 In the initial deployment, collection systems are recording

“every single” conversation nationwide, storing billions of

them in a 30-day rolling buffer that clears the oldest

calls as new ones arrive, according to a classified summary.

 

 The call buffer opens a door “into the past,” the summary

says, enabling users to “retrieve audio of interest that

was not tasked at the time of the original call.” Analysts

listen to only a fraction of 1 percent of the calls, but

the absolute numbers are high. Each month, they send

millions of voice clippings, or “cuts,” for processing

and long-term storage.

¤ Washington Post Censors MYSTIC Slides ::

 

 The Washington Post is reporting, based on the

files of whistleblower Edward Snowden, that the NSA

is able to store every phone call made in an entire

nation and replay them for up to 30 days. Not only

can the agency do this, but there is a country where

it’s actually doing this now–the Post knows where,

but they won’t say.

¤ NSA/NIS Dagbladet Documents Decensored ::

 

 There are a couple images in the latest Dagbladet

story from the Snowden trove that were originally

blurred instead of blacked out. This allowed the

text to be recovered. There was no particular point

in making a project out of the first, since it had

already been published previously. The second was

completely decoded in a matter of a few hours.

¤ NSA/NIS Aquired Supercomputer to Break Crypto ::

 

 The Norwegian Inteligence Service (NIS) is also

nauseous from the unmanageable amounts of data it

is served daily. This is partly the reason why NSA

now purchases a supercomputer codenamed Steelwinter.

This information comes from a document Edward Snowden

took from NSA and has later shared with Dagbladet.

The document, marked “top secret” is a summary of

how the NSA sees the collaboration with Norway after

a meeting between the two services in March 2013.

 

 The supercomputer NIS buys is a derivation of the

so-called Windsor Blue supercomputer.

 

 “NIS is in the process of acquiring STEEL WINTER

(a WINDSORBLUE derivative supercomputer) and has

entered into a partnership with NSA - cryptanalysis

( ...) service to develop applications of mutual

benefit” the document says.

 

 “Windsor Blue” is the name of a program for

supercomputers at the American IT-giant IBM. The

company is working towards creating a so-called

exascale supercomputer which means it can make a

quintillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - calculations

per second.

¤ NSA Breached Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei ::

 

 The American government conducted a major intelligence

offensive against China, with targets including the

Chinese government and networking company Huawei,

according to documents from former NSA worker Edward

Snowden that have been viewed by SPIEGEL and the

New York Times. Among the American intelligence

service’s targets were former Chinese President

Hu Jintao, the Chinese Trade Ministry, banks, as

well as telecommunications companies.

 

 But the NSA made a special effort to target Huawei.

With 150,000 employees and €28 billion ($38.6 billion)

in annual revenues, the company is the world’s second

largest network equipment supplier. At the beginning

of 2009, the NSA began an extensive operation, referred

to internally as “Shotgiant,” against the company, which

is considered a major competitor to US-based Cisco. The

company produces smartphones and tablets, but also mobile

phone infrastructure, WLAN routers and fiber optic cable

-- the kind of technology that is decisive in the NSA’s

battle for data supremacy.

 

 A special unit with the US intelligence agency succeeded

in infiltrating Huwaei’s network and copied a list of

1,400 customers as well as internal documents providing

training to engineers on the use of Huwaei products,

among other things.

¤ NSA Mapping and Spying System Administrators ::

 

 The document consists of several posts – one of

them is titled “I hunt sys admins” – that were

published in 2012 on an internal discussion board

hosted on the agency’s classified servers. They

were written by an NSA official involved in the

agency’s effort to break into foreign network

routers, the devices that connect computer

networks and transport data across the Internet.

By infiltrating the computers of system administrators

who work for foreign phone and Internet companies,

the NSA can gain access to the calls and emails

that flow over their networks.

 

 The classified posts reveal how the NSA official

aspired to create a database that would function

as an international hit list of sys admins to

potentially target. Yet the document makes clear

that the admins are not suspected of any criminal

activity – they are targeted only because they

control access to networks the agency wants to

infiltrate. “Who better to target than the person

that already has the ‘keys to the kingdom’?” one

of the posts says.

 

 The NSA wants more than just passwords. The document

includes a list of other data that can be harvested

from computers belonging to sys admins, including

network maps, customer lists, business correspondence

and, the author jokes, “pictures of cats in funny

poses with amusing captions.”

¤ How the NSA Plans to Infect Millions of Computers

With Malware ::

 

 Top-secret documents reveal that the National

Security Agency is dramatically expanding its

ability to covertly hack into computers on a mass

scale by using automated systems that reduce the

level of human oversight in the process.

 

 The classified files – provided previously by NSA

whistleblower Edward Snowden – contain new details

about groundbreaking surveillance technology the

agency has developed to infect potentially millions

of computers worldwide with malware “implants.” The

clandestine initiative enables the NSA to break into

targeted computers and to siphon out data from foreign

Internet and phone networks.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1076862/quantum-insert-diagrams.pdf

 

 The covert infrastructure that supports the hacking

efforts operates from the agency’s headquarters in

Fort Meade, Maryland, and from eavesdropping bases

in the United Kingdom and Japan. GCHQ, the British

intelligence agency, appears to have played an integral

role in helping to develop the implants tactic.

 

 The implants being deployed were once reserved for

a few hundred hard-to-reach targets, whose communications

could not be monitored through traditional wiretaps. But

the documents analyzed by The Intercept show how the NSA

has aggressively accelerated its hacking initiatives in

the past decade by computerizing some processes previously

handled by humans. The automated system – codenamed TURBINE

– is designed to “allow the current implant network to

scale to large size (millions of implants) by creating

a system that does automated control implants by groups

instead of individually.”

 

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/article/2014/03/12/nsa-plans-infect-millions-computers-malware/

 

¤ “Thousands of Implants” ::

 

 “Building the operations floor and increasing the number

of break-out rooms will enable us to grow from the current

average of these operations per clay to over per day and will

facilitate the integration of 55 computer network operations

and real--time customer support. Sustained collection involving

automated implants pushing collected data from targets to the

RDC as well as voice and geolocation collection are managed from

the Operations Teaming Areas. The increased capacity in this

area will support a growth from managing an average of I 543

active implants today to simultaneously managing thousands of

implanted targets. The increased personnel capacity will support

this net growth in operations tempo and will allow the integration

of TAD's Requirements Targeting Division alongside the operators

in order to better target development and efficiently plan and

execute endpoint operations.”

 

http://cryptome.org/2014/03/nsa-thousands-implants.pdf

 

 According to one top-secret document from 2012, the agency

can deploy malware by sending out spam emails that trick targets

into clicking a malicious link. Once activated, a “back-door

implant” infects their computers within eight seconds.

 

 There’s only one problem with this tactic, codenamed WILLOWVIXEN:

According to the documents, the spam method has become less

successful in recent years, as Internet users have become wary

of unsolicited emails and less likely to click on anything that

looks suspicious.

 

 Consequently, the NSA has turned to new and more advanced

hacking techniques. These include performing so-called

“man-in-the-middle” and “man-on-the-side” attacks, which

covertly force a user’s internet browser to route to NSA

computer servers that try to infect them with an implant.

 

 To perform a man-on-the-side attack, the NSA observes a

target’s Internet traffic using its global network of covert

“accesses” to data as it flows over fiber optic cables or

satellites. When the target visits a website that the NSA

is able to exploit, the agency’s surveillance sensors alert

the TURBINE system, which then “shoots” data packets at the

targeted computer’s IP address within a fraction of a second.

 

 In one man-on-the-side technique, codenamed QUANTUMHAND,

the agency disguises itself as a fake Facebook server. When

a target attempts to log in to the social media site, the

NSA transmits malicious data packets that trick the target’s

computer into thinking they are being sent from the real

Facebook. By concealing its malware within what looks like

an ordinary Facebook page, the NSA is able to hack into the

targeted computer and covertly siphon out data from its

hard drive. A top-secret animation demonstrates the tactic

in action.

 According to Matt Blaze, a surveillance and cryptography

expert at the University of Pennsylvania, it appears that

the QUANTUMHAND technique is aimed at targeting specific

individuals. But he expresses concerns about how it has

been covertly integrated within Internet networks as part

of the NSA’s automated TURBINE system.

¤ NSA Assistance to Dutch Somali Piracy Control ::

 

 Alliances between security services are usually

kept secret. But thousands of NSA documents are

now in the hands of a select group of journalists,

thanks to former NSA worker Edward Snowden. They

show that the NSA is the central organisation in

an international exchange of tapped telephone and

internet traffic.

 

 The Netherlands is also a part of this. In September,

the German weekly Der Spiegel published an NSA document

about the Netherlands. The graph, entitled ‘Netherlands

– 30 days’, appeared to show that the NSA had listened

in to 1.8 million Dutch telephone calls.

 

 But last month, the cabinet showed that the reality

was different. The 1.8 million telephone calls, wrote

home affairs minister Ronald Plasterk and defence

minister Jeanine Hennis, were not intercepted by

the Americans, but by the Dutch and then shared with

the NSA. It was not American, but Dutch espionage.

 

 Two new documents give further details. The Netherlands,

it transpires, intercepts vast amounts of Somali

telephone traffic and shares it with the NSA. The

Dutch use the information to combat piracy. But the

Americans may possibly use the information for

something else as well: taking out terrorism suspects

by attacking them with armed drones.

¤ CSEC Used Airport Wi-Fi to Track Travellers ::

 

 A top secret document retrieved by US whistleblower

Edward Snowden and obtained by CBC News shows

that Canada’s electronic spy agency used information

from the free internet service at a major Canadian

airport to track the wireless devices of thousands

of ordinary airline passengers for days after they

left the terminal.

 

 After reviewing the document, one of Canada’s

foremost authorities on cyber-security says the

clandestine operation by the Communications

Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) was almost

certainly illegal. ... ...

 

 The document indicates the passenger tracking

operation was a trial run of a powerful new

software program CSEC was developing with help

from its US counterpart, the NSA.

 

 In the document, CSEC called the new technologies

“game-changing,” and said they could be used for

tracking “any target that makes occasional forays

into other cities/regions.”

 

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/csec-used-airport-wi-fi-to-track-canadian-travellers-edward-snowden-documents-1.2517881

 

 CSEC concluded: “Can then take seeds from these

airports and repeat to cover whole world.”

¤ GCHQ Snooped on YouTube and Facebook ::

 

 Documents taken from the National Security

Agency by Edward Snowden and obtained by NBC

News detail how British cyber spies demonstrated

a pilot program to their US partners in 2012

in which they were able to monitor YouTube in

real time and collect addresses from the billions

of videos watched daily, as well as some user

information, for analysis. At the time the

documents were printed, they were also able to

spy on Facebook and Twitter.

 

 Called “Psychology A New Kind of SIGDEV”

(Signals Development), the presentation includes

a section that spells out “Broad real-time

monitoring of online activity” of YouTube videos,

URLs “liked” on Facebook, and Blogspot/Blogger

visits. The monitoring program is called

“Squeaky Dolphin.”

 

 Experts told NBC News the documents show the

British had to have been either physically able

to tap the cables carrying the world’s web

traffic or able to use a third party to gain

physical access to the massive stream of data,

and would be able to extract some key data

about specific users as well.

NOBODY’s comment blocked @ 20committee.com

 

 Reform? Reform was never intended to come

from politicians or the white house. Reform

will come from peoples’ change of online use ;

growing public use of open-source encryption,

growing use of services such as Tor, a growing

amount of computers air-gapped, growing use of

hardcopy backups rather than “the cloud” - and

add to that, more people bleaching their cookies

among other web browser cache, surging VPN use,

growing use of proxies. Sudden disconnections

of users’ modems when not actually being used. The

use of alternative search engines (such as ixquick,

duckduckgo, startpage, privatelee, et al) and

also consider the growing use of XPIs such as

Noscript, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere and others.

 

Reform?

 

 How about the death of RSA and a new generation

of young privacy-crypto-enthusiasts who start to

say “fuck the corporate platforms” and change it

whether legal or not?

 

The reform will come from people taking action.

 

 Here’s what I’d like to know - will “big government”

follow up reform with their “internet kill switch?”

 The documents also reveal the UK spy agency

GCHQ has made use of the NSA database to search

the metadata of “untargeted and unwarranted”

communications belonging to people in the UK.

 

 The NSA program, codenamed Dishfire, collects

“pretty much everything it can”, according to

GCHQ documents, rather than merely storing the

communications of existing surveillance targets.

 

 The NSA has made extensive use of its vast

text message database to extract information

on people’s travel plans, contact books, financial

transactions and more – including of individuals

under no suspicion of illegal activity.

 The technology, which the agency has used

since at least 2008, relies on a covert

channel of radio waves that can be transmitted

from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted

surreptitiously into the computers. In some

cases, they are sent to a briefcase-size

relay station that intelligence agencies can

set up miles away from the target.

 

 The radio frequency technology has helped

solve one of the biggest problems facing

American intelligence agencies for years:

getting into computers that adversaries,

and some American partners, have tried to

make impervious to spying or cyberattack.

In most cases, the radio frequency hardware

must be physically inserted by a spy, a

manufacturer or an unwitting user.

¤ NSA Quantum Computing Research for Cracking

All Encryption ::

 

 In room-size metal boxes ­secure against

electromagnetic leaks, the National Security

Agency is racing to build a computer that

could break nearly every kind of encryption

used to protect banking, medical, business

and government records around the world.

 

 According to documents provided by former

NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the effort

to build “a cryptologically useful quantum

computer” — a machine exponentially faster

than classical computers — is part of a

$79.7 million research program titled

“Penetrating Hard Targets.” Much of the

work is hosted under classified contracts

at a laboratory in College Park, Md.

¤ Documents Reveal Top NSA Hacking Unit ::

 

 The NSA’s TAO hacking unit is considered

to be the intelligence agency’s top secret

weapon. It maintains its own covert network,

infiltrates computers around the world and

even intercepts shipping deliveries to plant

back doors in electronics ordered by those

it is targeting. ... ...

 

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-nsa-uses-powerful-toolbox-in-effort-to-spy-on-global-networks-a-940969.html

 

 The insert method and other variants of

QUANTUM are closely linked to a shadow

network operated by the NSA alongside the

Internet, with its own, well-hidden

infrastructure comprised of “covert”

routers and servers. It appears the NSA

also incorporates routers and servers

from non-NSA networks into its covert

network by infecting these networks with

“implants” that then allow the government

hackers to control the computers remotely.

 

 In this way, the intelligence service seeks

to identify and track its targets based on

their digital footprints. These identifiers

could include certain email addresses or

website cookies set on a person’s computer.

Of course, a cookie doesn’t automatically

identify a person, but it can if it includes

additional information like an email address.

In that case, a cookie becomes something

like the web equivalent of a fingerprint.

¤ NSA Catalog for Hardware Backdoors ::

 

 The specialists at ANT, which presumably

stands for Advanced or Access Network Technology,

could be described as master carpenters for

the NSA’s department for Tailored Access

Operations (TAO). In cases where TAO’s usual

hacking and data-skimming methods don’t suffice,

ANT workers step in with their special tools,

penetrating networking equipment, monitoring

mobile phones and computers and diverting or

even modifying data. Such implants, as they are

referred to in NSA parlance, have played a

considerable role in the intelligence agency’s

ability to establish a global covert network

that operates alongside the Internet.

 

 Some of the equipment available is quite

inexpensive. A rigged monitor cable that

allows “TAO personnel to see what is displayed

on the targeted monitor,” for example, is

available for just $30. But an “active GSM

base station” -- a tool that makes it possible

to mimic a mobile phone tower and thus monitor

cell phones -- costs a full $40,000. Computer

bugging devices disguised as normal USB plugs,

capable of sending and receiving data via radio

undetected, are available in packs of 50 for

over $1 million.

 

 The ANT division doesn’t just manufacture

surveillance hardware. It also develops software

for special tasks. The ANT developers have a

clear preference for planting their malicious

code in so-called BIOS, software located on a

computer’s motherboard that is the first thing

to load when a computer is turned on.

 

 This has a number of valuable advantages: an

infected PC or server appears to be functioning

normally, so the infection remains invisible

to virus protection and other security programs.

And even if the hard drive of an infected

computer has been completely erased and a new

operating system is installed, the ANT malware

can continue to function and ensures that new

spyware can once again be loaded onto what is

presumed to be a clean computer. The ANT

developers call this “Persistence” and believe

this approach has provided them with the

possibility of permanent access.

 

 Another program attacks the firmware in

hard drives manufactured by Western Digital,

Seagate, Maxtor and Samsung, all of which,

with the exception of latter, are American

companies. Here, too, it appears the US

intelligence agency is compromising the

technology and products of American companies.

 Beginning in October 2012, he said, he

brought his misgivings to two superiors

in the NSA’s Technology Directorate and

two more in the NSA Threat Operations

Center’s regional base in Hawaii. For

each of them, and 15 other co-workers,

Snowden said he opened a data query tool

called BOUNDLESSINFORMANT, which used

color-coded “heat maps” to depict the

volume of data ingested by NSA taps.

 

 His colleagues were often “astonished to

learn we are collecting more in the United

States on Americans than we are on Russians

in Russia,” he said. Many of them were

troubled, he said, and several said they

did not want to know any more.
