asciilifeform: btw trinque lemme know if you'd like a 'wire' on dulap.
trinque: indeed, I'm snipping and mapping for entirely that reason.
asciilifeform: so snip, snip the crapolade.
trinque: having a branch available to skip verification ~at all~ seems questionable.
asciilifeform: but recall, i started by asking for 'the book' and for it to be as thin as reasonably possible (but not thinner..)
asciilifeform: trinque: if you have remote-execution 0day in the thing, you have a problem.
trinque: maybe; seems like a data structure that somebody would love to spooge malicious values into via some other (networking code) exploit
asciilifeform: but imho we are very, very far away from the 'verifying chain takes too long' problem, for this to be a burning issue
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu at the time said that the thing really oughta eat a programmable set of checkpoint ☟︎
asciilifeform: i never cut the old ones out, but introduced flag 'verifyall'
trinque: stripping out of checkpoints. I'd done it here myself days ago before finding that you had already in 2016
asciilifeform: trinque: what was this in re
trinque: and in fact, meanwhile found that it was my own build environment hauling in libressl on openbsd

mod6: <+trinque> http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-05#1008972 << mod6, is that why this patch did not make it in? << i don't think it was because of any such wedge. i think we held off because it was proposed that there might have been a better way to handle that through configuration files. it's all in the logs if you look in around the time that email was sent; december of '14. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( the last time i mentioned him on the air -- he actually showed up! in pm! to whine re how cruelly he is libelled, how he was Never A Stooge, etc. snoar. )
asciilifeform: or the other d00d, which one was he,
asciilifeform: and lol, infiltrate, sooo 2013!111 what'll he do, bore folx to death, like ninjashotgun
mircea_popescu: perhaps. who knows where the link is found by now.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he didn't show up under the default lamer nick (e.g., 'fromphuctor') so probably not this
mircea_popescu: alternatively random guy clicked a link, hasn't even noticed the tab among the symphony of tabs on his ie.
trinque: and so he does the most visibile thing such that boss sees him working, and he goes back to reading reddit.
trinque: somebody's boss's boss just orders that X must infiltrate and monitor, and yes sir right away sir.
shinohai: Maybe they get paid by # of connections
asciilifeform: shinohai: i still dun get why cia stooge needs a handle. can read the l0gz on www, like anybody
shinohai: Well onlooker certainly lives up to his handle.
asciilifeform: in other strange, '4-year-old male white rhino who was slaughtered this week inside his enclosure at a zoo outside Paris. The rhino — discovered by his keeper at the Thoiry Zoological Park on Tuesday — now holds the ominous distinction of likely being the first rhino to be killed by poachers inside a zoo, experts said.'
mircea_popescu: i don't see why it's such a big deal, i included all sorts of strange in the logs, what of it ?
trinque cannot connect those inputs to "luvv anime bois"
asciilifeform: dunno, per my informant there were gurls there,
asciilifeform: 'they're exempt from equalism!11 , think!'
trinque: I guess it wouldn't be the only "serious" gay men's club on earth.
asciilifeform: the funny bit is, that was when i formed picture of nsa as 'serious org'
asciilifeform: or maybe this is only at cia.
asciilifeform: they suure luvv anime bois tho. apparently.
asciilifeform: and , years later, ended up briefly labouring in a butugychag full of ex-nsa folx, who confirmed, they dun like ethnic untermenschen there
asciilifeform: briefly upstack: as i once described, many years ago asciilifeform actually tried to sign up for nsa! was , unsurprisingly, turned down ( you get a ream of paper even if turned down! )
mircea_popescu: expect an 80kword novel to be dropped on your heads later this week dear all.
mircea_popescu wanders back to his zuleika rewrite that he's been labouring on since weekend.
trinque: first thing that popped into what's his name 80s hack's head was the marshmallow man
trinque: first ghostbusters, the david bowie lesbian god tells them to choose teh form of their destroyer
mircea_popescu: yea trinque the who ?
trinque: i.e. any manner of destructive nonsense, or cancer of the imagination
mircea_popescu: (gedankenexperiment, what would happen if you could produce any item by thinking about it.)
mircea_popescu: trinque no but it's exactly it, an exercise in serving the phantasmagorical.
trinque: no one can seriously claim the guy wearing steampunk goggles and going to conferences isn't LARPing in the grand american tradition of pretense to existing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's rather like to say that fucking same gurl vs fucking hole in a muddy tree trunk, 'is the same'
trinque: couldn't find the log, but the other day mircea_popescu discussed that some pedo case's dismissal had very much to do with that the guy refused to LARP with them re: their importance.
mircea_popescu: except for the part where IT IS MY CASH, they could just as well have been "government employees"
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's the same. i sent a bunch of girls on a bunch of missions this month, with various wads of cash.
asciilifeform: commuting to and sitting in butugychag is a mega-difference
mircea_popescu: the only difference between slavegirl in my household and usg employee is that a) i whip mine and b) after a while they are sensibly better at everything. the usg drones don't get whipped and don't improve.
mircea_popescu: no ; because if a girl who does nothing but fucks up and sucks my cock makes a grand, that grand does not get divided by 0.000000epsilon to result in TWENTY BRILLIONS!!1
mircea_popescu: nobody working for idiot empire makes much. this is a recurrent fantasy of yours, but not more.
trinque: makes great tweets
asciilifeform: no, but the fact-of.
mircea_popescu: they're not that substantial.
asciilifeform: i suspect that , e.g., gavin's pay stubs, would entertain plenty.
mircea_popescu: don't ask me to explain what entertains teh public.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop. << the reason is that utterly nobody gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. the nsa itself long knew it is both a) deeply ineffectual and b) extremely loud. which is why now and again i say something to the effect of "wtf straw must one have in head to work for those dorks, move on already."
trinque: this guy's running with -connect to deedbot.org node
asciilifeform: ( recall, in mircea_popescu's recent case, answer was the -- very usual -- 'nope' )
asciilifeform: trinque: first q to ask in a wedge: 'has it SEEN the block?'
trinque: 124276 happens to be a 1 txn block btw
trinque has such a checkpoints-cauterized node wedged at that very block, will in fact study
asciilifeform: ( incidentally, trb doesn't validate scripts in blocks. at. all. )
asciilifeform: shinohai: no mention of the db, the actual bottleneck..
trinque: would've been nice if punkman studied this when he first saw it.

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-05#1008756 << this is indeed still the case ☝︎
ben_vulpes: in other water-related engineering projects, here's something that is very definitely not a lock: http://gcaptain.com/worlds-first-ship-tunnel-to-bypass-dangerous-seas-in-norway/
BingoBoingo: And thus pumping needs to begin. Change pressure on the container and see what fails
asciilifeform: but i'll be the first to admit that this heuristic is very much a 'blind man and the elephant'.
asciilifeform: and who embed anime gif into their project docs (several examples in the linked dump)
asciilifeform: thus far i suspect that 'leakage' is roughly proportional to a directorate's population of folx who know what is 'twerk'
asciilifeform: not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we did have a thread back in... 2013? re 'they will copy su approach and make 2-in-a-box kgb/gru duet'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: To be fair about lack of Bitcoin, this is CIA rapidly reinventing own "NSA"
asciilifeform: this rounds out today's lulzfest, i think.
asciilifeform: ^ apparently they use own auditor directorate for beta testing, and consistently fail
asciilifeform: 'IOC/ECG's Advanced Forensic Division (AFD) performed an analysis of Hive version 2.5 network communications to assess its likelihood of detection.The results of this analysis are found in document AFD-2012-0973-2. In summary, AFD was able to create signatures for DNS, ICMP, and TFTP triggers; found that the TCP and UDP triggers did not adhere to their respective protocol standards; and further found that the TCP and UDP triggers eac
trinque: unsolved problem for reality too
asciilifeform: document also of slight interest in re discussion of ntp, and issues of time synchronization in general. apparently unsolved problem for usg just as well as for victims.
asciilifeform: or any matches. If a match is found the packet is assumed to be a TCP replay and is dropped.'
asciilifeform: sl/include/polarssl/ssl.h is extended to include the session _checksum, tool_id, use_custom, and xor_key. The data contained within this packet is constant with the exception of a time stamp taken from the real-time clock and a few bytes of random data. A CRC checksum is computed from the entire packet and is included with the HELLO packet. When Blot receives this packet, it checks the CRC searches a list of previously seen packets f
asciilifeform: 'Hive beacons were designed to work with the Blot proxy (developed by Xetron). Blot looks for a tool ID embedded in the HELLO packet of an SSL session initiation. If the ID is found, then it forwards the packet to the tool-handler, otherwise it is sent to the cover server. The tool ID is embedded in the HELLO packet using the embedData function defined in …/polarssl/library/loki_utils.c. The SSL data structure defined in …/polars
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/files/DevelopersGuide.pdf << for aficionados strictly -- details of implant protocol, where gibblets are disguised as tcp replay packets. apparently standardized across this particular directorate.
asciilifeform ate the whole thing.
asciilifeform: largely sums to snoar.
asciilifeform: loox like they censored the ~only ~useful bits, e.g. the active av holes.
mircea_popescu: note the fist fucking ever appropriate use of "she"
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_4849785.html >> 'I strongly suggest that you name your missing vector for DanceFloor "Twerk". '
asciilifeform: hile she is listening to music, the tool will execute the survey and a prioritized file collection. All collected data will be stored to the root of the removable media it is executing from. When the asset next meets with the case officer, the thumbdrive is retrieved and the collection is processed. '
asciilifeform: 'RainMaker v1.0 is a survey and file collection tool built for a FINO QRC operation. IOC/FINO is looking to expand asset-assisted operations. The intended CONOPS involves using an asset to gain access to a target network. The asset has the ability to plug in a personal thumbdrive to the network. In this scenario, the asset will have "downloaded" the portable version of VLC player (2.1.5) and will listen to music during work hours. W
asciilifeform: actually nearing the bottom of this barrel
