Out of Pod Experience

Well i guess the government will get to see all of that important stuff that you keep on your Xbox. Whatever will we do?

I wonder how they deal with bad guys who actually know how to use a VPN.

Damn it, thought for sure Herzogg would be first post in this thread with something about losing rights and new world orders. Just lost 30 mil....

I'd be OK with this if they had to get a Warrant before breaking out the spyware.
Odds of that actually happening... about zilch.

Still, Anyone watch 4 Lions?
Chat is still chat whether its over the phone, over email or over Puffin Palace.

I just wonder where all this starts and ends. Maybe they've been doing this stuff for years all along?
Anyway who knows, I for one, have nothing to hide, so I don't really care who looks at anything I do or say online or otherwise.

Finally I can post again! You made it to post #10 which was the other half of the bet, BUT, you didn't talk about the subject which means neither of us win \/

Edit: nm you were post 11 which makes it even better.

Up to speed on the Utah site they are working on? It's the last piece to their dream network.

I'm more than aware of the simple numbers behind cracking encryption. However, given intelligent enough software and the hardware to back it... well, that's what we do, don't we? When someone says something is impossible, we make a business of proving them right or wrong. And when it comes to security, someone always gets proven wrong eventually.

I don't doubt it has it's limits. But I do doubt that even the best security measures of today (RSA, encrypted tunnels, encrypted drives) will hold up given the resources they dedicate to figuring them out and defeating them.

No code is uncrackable. All you can do is make something good enough to buy you time until you have to make the next best thing.

It's a time and money thing.

For example, if I use simple encryption on something that has information which is only good for say, one hour, and it will take some free software from the internet a day to crack it, I still "win" (whatever the reasons).

If you have information that is to be forever protected, like where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, you would want to use the best encryption that cannot be cracked (One Time Pad comes to mind).

It takes more computing power to crack encryption in shorter time. This is the real cost and the real power. I think it's measured in "super computer time" or something like that and not based on actual chronological time.

It looks like they want to crack stuff in very short time. That would be needed to defeat tactics, not strategies. You need a very large bank of fast processors to do that.


But if the gov really wants to spend a lot of money cracking what gamers have to say, let them. They will go (even more) bankrupt faster and then there will be no more gov, or at least one that cannot afford so much of the other things they need to maintain the control grids.


Encryption is so freaking easy to deploy that if everybody started to at least use AES (you can do it in Javascript even) the security state will collapse under the workload. Even now they collected so much non-encrypted data they lack the resources to go through it all. Most of it is prediction software that has the luxury of time - if everything was encrypted, the progress of that project slows down considerably.

They don't, there are multiple ways and measures available to people who want to be perfectly anonymous to the internet. Problem is there is no point to go to the most extremes because NSA does not hunt "pirates" and those they do hunt have no need for it except perhaps other nations security agencies like China's etc. But they are obviously anon in the sense they have the protection of the state guarding their identity. Some states offer that same protection for their citizens, as long as they are white of course.

I for one welcome them to read all info on xbox live, they deserve all the abuse people will give them.

Military/ Industrial complex needs to be fed, even at the expense of the every day citizen- that's why.
