Mirimir Hacked 8ch.net

∞chan is saving all poster IPs indefinitely. This is the code that matters: [code] event_handler('post-after', function($post) { global $board; $post['ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $data = json_encode(array('ip' => $post['ip'], 'body' => $post['body_nomarkup'])); for ($i = 0; $i bindValue(':board', $board['uri']); $query->bindValue(':id', $post['id']); $query->bindValue(':data', $crypted); $query->execute()or error(db_error($query)); // Failure is never an option, except when it is. }); Upon review of the vichan source code, I found that the "event_handler" function adds a callback function which is run when the corresponding "event" function is called. For example, event_handler('post-after') runs when event('post-after') is called, which it is called at the end of post.php. Line by line, this function makes JSON of our IPs and our post text. It then puts 10 random bytes at the end of the JSON. It then uses a file called "/srv/sunshine.pem" as a public key to encrypt the JSON with the PHP function "openssl_public_encrypt". It then inserts the JSON, along with the board being posted on and the ID of the post, into a table called "sunshine". The board and ID of post are in the clear, only the post content and IP are crypted in that JSON array. This gives McRonald and Jim the ability to look up the IP of any post they want even if the post is no longer live on the public site.

by Cecilia Tanaka 03 Apr '17

"Remember, remember, All we fight for, Remember, remember, All we fight for." ========= German Concentration Camps Factual Survey Film (aka "Memory Of The Camps") # http://www.iwm.org.uk/corporate/projects-partnerships/german-concentration-… Ordered in April 1945 by the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, the film is an official documentary about German atrocities and the concentration camps compiled with footage shot by combat and newsreel cameramen accompanying troops as they liberated occupied Europe. It was to be the film screened in Germany after the fall of the Third Reich - shown to German prisoners of war wherever they were held. Producer Sidney Bernstein assembled a team at the Ministry of Information that included Editors Stewart McAllister and Peter Tanner; Writers Colin Wills and Richard Crossman; and Alfred Hitchcock, who worked as Treatment Adviser. ========= # https://youtu.be/449ZOWbUkf0 Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp ========== "Denial" (2016, movie) # https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/29/denial-review-tense-real-life-… # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_(2016_film) # http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4645330/ ========== You can *not* deny the truth. A lie can be repeated hundreds of times, but compulsive lying won't make it true at any moment. It will always be only a lie repeated by irrational liars, a pathological denial of the truth.

Men Without Work
by Mirimir 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

>From John Mauldin's blog.[0] | I have been promising a review of Nicholas Eberstadt’s | very important book, Men Without Work: America’s Invisible | Crisis. The book is relatively short at 216 pages, but it | is packed with meaty facts and insights. ... The “invisible | crisis” that the author is writing about is at the very | center of our economic and political turmoil. | | At its heart, the book is about the fact that there are some | 10 million American men of prime working age (25 to 54) who | have simply dropped out of the workforce, and the great | majority of them have not only dropped out of the workforce, | they have also dropped out from any commitments or | responsibilities to society. It is not just the labor force | they are not participating in; they are not participating | in the normal ebb and flow of community life. | ... | | As we shall see, a single variable – having a criminal record | – is a key missing piece in explaining why work rates and | LFPRs have collapsed much more dramatically in America than | other affluent Western societies over the past two generations. | This single variable also helps explain why the collapse has | been so much greater for American men than women and why it | has been so much more dramatic for African American men and | men with low educational attainment than for other prime-age | men in the United States. That is, with admittedly some license taken, it is arguably the bloody War Against Drugs that has been destroying the US economy and culture.

Defense Attorney Guide To Foiling FBI Malware NIT Investigations

Such hacking has never been discussed by Congress, and we in no way endorse government hacking. However, given that the federal government is deploying malware and a recent amendment to Rule 41 only makes such deployment easier, it is our goal to ensure that all uses of malware are subject to meaningful Fourth Amendment analysis so that malware is installed only when supported by individualized suspicion. Our Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches applies regardless of whether new technology is involved in effectuating a particular search; however, the law may be slow to catch up, particularly when the government goes to great lengths to hide details about its use of new surveillance techniques. Because, as described below, nearly every challenge to the government's use of malware to date has arisen in the context of watering hole attacks on child pornography sites, this report focuses on that context. 8 As with all new technologies, however, the government's use of malware will expand to other contexts and may be used for increasingly intrusive searches. 9 Therefore, this guide highlights good precedent and offers arguments to distinguish existing bad law and to help ensure those decisions are at least limited

> Doctor, I feel completely fed up with idiots who think that > government needs to 'reformed' and controlled by 'good' people > who really know how to rule their neighbors in a 'good' way. I sympathize, believe me. I've been assulted four times by the USA trying to defend very basic rights. The question to ask, however, is: what will you do about it? How will you proceed with your view? Because there are some very real practical matters to have answers to, before you go on the offensive. Like: they have bigger guns. You likely won't be pulling any Neo bullet-dancing moves. And you won't get to change the behavior of steel, as it's of mutual interest. Also, you're belief system have probably already gotten invaded by the media machine. Perhaps you believe that Obama signed some bill to allow indefinite detention of american citizens without a trial. That will hurt. If you want to be a warrior, you have to have a strategy against such a foe. What is yours? \0xd

[RUS] Buzzfeed: Russia, perpetrator of the most audacious cyberattacks in recent years
by Zenaan Harkness 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Ok, ok, this is just another biting cynical take down of the Western "MSM" by russia-insider.com - the editors have managed to combine the best of RI and Breitbart, and deliver it with endlessly dry wry biting sarcasm - what's not to like? Russia Insider had written themselves off for a while, but have truly landed again with a style which is uniquely appealing to those who find this style of writing uniquely appealing. Kind of like when tautological truisms are adjectively described with self evident introspective recursions of the same point?? You decide..
