Framedragger: iirc there *was* a buncha keys on silk road v1. but, not ruling out key re-use / sybil identities.
Framedragger: "I had to be quick and stelth" probably apt description of deep web security
Framedragger: asciilifeform: right, cool. i guess if one runs a node they may as well collect some additional info.. i may still have a 'respected' node private key laying about, may be possible to collect those HSDir requests. (but i agree that it may not be very productive effort)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: oh, yea. maybe it was this gwern dude. (his summary of studies on melatonin *was* helpful for me, so there's that...)
Framedragger: well it'd amount to public service for current HS operators; perhaps indeed too much effort. but many lulz, and educational. ok, gotcha. not committing to anything, will ping asciilifeform if i obtain anything. :)
Framedragger: as of now this is more-or-less trivially doable. later, tor will move to a new hidden service model where it'll be more difficult to crawl for things. (right now, you can run a node which after a while (if stable enough, etc.) becomes a hidden service directory, and then (if you're sneaky enough) you can log all hidden service key requests, therefore obtaining a large bunch of fingerprints -> public keys.)
Framedragger: couldn't find anything after (very) cursory glance at logs, so, random question #667: has anyone considered crawling tor hidden services for their rsa (1024 bit iirc!) keys, and dumping them into phuctor? apologies if there was already a discussion with regards to this.
Framedragger: kako's bot says it's from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, MX, "SECRETARIA DE COMUNICACIONES Y TRANSPORTES COORDINACION DE LA SOCIEDAD DE LA INFORMACION Y EL CONOCI"!!11
Framedragger: oh! that might be useful for things outside eulora, too.
Framedragger: must be increasing your firm beliefs in the values of the community further still, mircea_popescu.
Framedragger: still with the fatass distro freeze project madness mircea_popescu ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ..unless you are implying that the republic stimulated results such as this, making life insufferable for nsa, idiots and the like
Framedragger: (been trying to steal time from afk stuff to read on useful things so brain does not go dead. it's.. slow)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yes, and no, not super duper original indeed, but nice to see something (closer to) empirical :)
Framedragger: (granted, my html thing uses js to render close-to-original pdf, which is not really needed)
Framedragger: AHA! and so, eulora becomes the explicit marketing platform for TERRORISM
Framedragger: and in general builds an argument against the notion of "primitive" as widely used in western anthropology.
Framedragger: but this reminded me of clastres' "society against the state", a set of essays on "primitiv kultures". the latter use all kinds of mutilation'y things to do interesting stuff, e.g. if one breaks a law, that law is inscribed on the flesh of the person having broken it; etc.
Framedragger: i guess that twitter acct thought it was funny that FGM could be anything other than bullshit. at the point of lol'ing at those tweets i took this as a given
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. on actually closer inspection, that thing's easier to parse if one reads till end of extract. one of the points is that the notion of female genital mutilation is used to represent african tribes etc. as inferior culturally, sexually, etc.; thesis seems to disagree with this portrayal of that tribal culture. this does indeed not sound original. but, i guess you're right, it's more like meh, and not a lol-worthy outrag
Framedragger: thestringpuller: heh; up until maybe ~2012, UK banks allowed these cash deposits without any account or docs; so folks deposited cash into bitcoin exchange accounts; and then that changed. so it goes hm
Framedragger: heheh. oh yeah. i also forgot about them craigslist job posts, as well $x's friend's boyfriend who asked $x to temporarily hold some money in $x's acct because reasons
Framedragger: this relates to the "not a bank if no rsa in relevant wot" point.
Framedragger: but maybe didn't try hard enough, because, you know, i could just walk in later
Framedragger: i tried to do just that while being away from uk!
Framedragger: well in uk you have to walk into the bank physically. (from recent experience opening business acct). and it's barclays, quite sure it's similar to the bank i dealt with. but heh, maybe workarounds. especially in .pl
☟︎ Framedragger: didn't even have time to investigate, honestly not sure if worth it, reported bank details to banks in question as per process, but that's about it
Framedragger: like, legit uk and polish bank account details. wonder if they belong to old granny who gives out passwords to her grandson
Framedragger: on my work email end on the other hand, multiple emails as of late, sent from director, with instructions to pay to this fiat bank acct and that fiat bank acct.
Framedragger: next time i'm desperate for cash i'll make a markov bot which will include those keywords, and will spam research funding agencies.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ...so, how's the rest of that dream, then? did you eat them slugs?
Framedragger: <<1474982082.5600033 :asciilifeform!~asciilife@unaffiliated/asciilifeform PRIVMSG #trilema :^AACTION woke up from dream
Framedragger: aha, i wonder if the sending irc client encoded msg in some strange charset, and ACTION was *not* technically the first set of characters in that message, from point of view of znc.
☟︎ Framedragger: phf: thank you for explaining the peculiarities of text encoding in regards to processing irc lines. shame on me for not pre-emptively researching this myself
Framedragger: !~later tell pete_dushenski btw could you update the bots directory so that `!$ hello` means (something like) 'Prints "Hello, world!" and uptime of the bot'? (you can /msg scriba help). gracias.
☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah, so 'private key' is purely 'station key' - i guess like in latest gossipd discussion
Framedragger: PeterL: ah, good point. and regarding first packet, i wonder if some very light lighthouse version would make sense, a pre-shared sequence of whitelisted nonces between two given nodes, whatnot. in the beginning, interchangeable over internet. and later, updateable over same radio channel ("here's my payload, and also please add to your whitenoncelist this encrypted sequence of nonces for future channel initiations.")
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you mean an initial packet after a period of silence? hm yeah; one way would be to have a scheme in place which i think you may have suggested anyway: to have stations constantly stream packets at some rate, 24/7.
Framedragger: maybe i'm not getting the picture how quickly entries in the buffer can expire, though
Framedragger: same exact packet - he would assume the nonce in packet refers to a packet that is still in the receiver's buffer
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah, right, i forgot everything's signed, lol. nice! i guess enemy could replay for a (choosably) small window of time, some degree of flooding possible? but this could be minimized and that's the point, right?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i wonder, could this not be predicted by the enemy? (value of nonce - say the enemy is aware of the (likely) packets received by the receiving end.) i'm not sure, just trying out all possibilities in the head, because otherwise sounds nice
Framedragger: asciilifeform: buffer is a rolling window (or how do you call it), i.e. last N messages? hmm
Framedragger: indeed, indeed. and yet incorporating a lighthouse lifts the scheme from pure elegance to additional complexity. but maybe that's not to be avoided, and such is life
Framedragger: nice. what of DoS via replay, asciilifeform ? or should this get ignored? i.e. enemy just floods with identical packets (so both checksum and sig ok), and those get redistributed
Framedragger: need to minimize energy expenditure at $job. "go home tired" sort of case, it's sad. i'd like to, e.g., among other matters (incl mkj log etc of course), write a very initial very to-be-criticized gossipd for udp/ip, using (kill me now) python twisted. i guess many live like this, savouring free time, with personal projects falling behind. [i rant today, because exhaustion + coffee infusion => wee bit psychedelic]
Framedragger: may as well put a power source on it, even a solar cell, and leave in coffee shop for anon wifi, heh.
Framedragger: mmm. i2c interface, etc. yeah. this is a very neat useful thing.
