crypto-terrorists [part II]

Back in the old /prog/ I warned you about it; now things are getting more clear:

Encryption a growing threat to security [...]
Unfortunately, this scenario is not at all far-fetched. Recently, FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress that terror groups such as ISIS are using encrypted programs to hide their communications and recruiting messages from U.S. federal agencies.[...]
What could a solution look like? The most obvious one is that U.S. tech companies keep a key to that encrypted communication for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
they should also keep a master key, because it may one day save thousands of lives

So don't worry, we will make those damn encryption ``algorithms'' (an arab/terrorist word) illegal in the next couple of years!

You don't even need to learn self defense and carry a weapon if, for example, 1 out of every 10 people is a law-abiding armed person. Forget trying to spread police & government "protection" everywhere, encourage everyday people to be defenders.

I don't get how liberals can keep up the ``only the police should be armed'' retoric while hating the police for killing unarmed black people every other week.

you're australian!

I don't get how the government can keep up the ``only the government should have privacy'' retoric while quietly dumping nuclear test contaminants in shallow pits in South Australia

Or testing people for radioactivity after they've died by burning their bones and looking for strontium...

Here in the US, that just sits in shipping containers in parking lots.

mfw british doomsday device test results in catastrophic failure

What does that even mean? It's a friggin doomsday device

Not to mention testing it as something other than a doomsday device... Did it fail to not be a doomsday device or what??

Whom are you quoting?

What does mfw even mean? Did you have a stroke while typing that?

They're capable of holding thousands of contradictory viewpoints, it's all based on emotion not reason.

serial killers

learn self defense

I saw a movie once where Frodo was hiding under a car, then sliced the Achilles tendon of his victim when she didn't know he was there. How could self defense protect against that?

spies

who cares

See my parable in >>6 for an explanation of why you should care.

money launderers

who cares

Shalom!

pedos

watch your kids

Sounds like something a pedo would do. Besides that, how would that work when we have cases like http://www.firstcoastnews.com/story/news/crime/2014/11/21/child-porn-suspect-enrolled-as-sixth-grader/19337169/? Breakable encryption is the only way our children could be safe. Why do you hate children and want to see them hurt?

terrorist (sympathizers)

who cares. learn self defense and carry a weapon. If a lone shooter appears let him be taken out by 5 armed and trained individuals in the area.

How will having a gun protect you from suddenly explosive Mohammed? Are you just going to shoot every sandnigger you see, in case they might have a bomb? I bet that the police will frown upon that.

drug dealers

they serve the free market

How is Paco serving the free market when he boils Juan in a giant vat of oil after castrating his son with a chainsaw and raping his daughter in front of him? Encryption only helps him share the evidence that he completed the job with his boss.

We need to ban encryption so we can monitor all the refugees.

The ISIS attackers in France didn't even use any encryption at all and they communicated with each other about their planned attack for ten months.

Putting government backdoors in anything won't change anything at all.

>>55
Good, if we ban it now they will never have a chance to use it at all.

Recently, FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress that terror groups such as ISIS are using encrypted programs to hide their communications

Recently, FBI Director James Comey testified ... are using encrypted programs to hide their communications

are using encrypted programs to hide their communications

encrypted programs

how do they run these encrypted programs?

>>57
The same way you watch an encrypted movie.

>>57
Advanced homomorphic encryption.

>>57
They pass the program description to the decryption monad.

This is exactly what privacy advocates want to avoid: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/11/how-dropbox-found-a-child-porn-collector-and-a-chess-club-stopped-his-rampage/

Before leaving his Morton, Illinois, home on the afternoon of October 13, the 19-year-old wrapped each knife's handle carefully with duct tape. He then pulled on a pair of grippy gloves. The one-mile journey to the public library gave Brown one final chance to rehearse the plan he had contemplated for the last two weeks. Five-inch blades jingled together in his backpack all the while.

FUCK, you're writing a fucking news article, not a shitty suspense novel.

if dropbox never detected his child porn his life never would have gone to shambles and he wouldn't have wanted to go on a rampage. He would have just masturbated to kids while working in IT as a functional member of society.

>>63
Is the man who uploaded child porn to a Dropbox account with his real name, registered to an email account with his birthday in it, to keep it safe and secure really cut out for IT? I mean, there was that US sailor who stored it on iCloud, but that's somewhat understandable, because his only job is to ... go down with the ship, I guess? Not an intellectual career to begin with.

That said, seems like CP arrests are much less dramatic than I had imagined. I always figured it would be a full on SWAT raid, where they establish a kill zone, take all your stuff, and burn your house down. This seems almost cordial on the part of the police.

Dude, look at his photo in the article. That he's going to spend the next twenty or so years suffering in prison is actually the most marvelous part of God's plan for humanity. Nerds like him were created to suffer. That's their sole purpose in life, and helping them achieve that purpose by any means necessary is good and wholesome.

hey i was on #crypto too

>>66
We shall commence the asperger contest about US justice system this once.

Reminder that the US govt. trained, armed and financed Al-Qaeda and ISIS... And many, many other terrorist groups. Reminder that France and the UK did and do the same thing, too. And all of these govts. keep playing the victim card.

Who are the real terrorists?

>>68
You are.

>>68
And in all their airstrikes until recently, they were careful not to damage IS oil pipelines and oil highways so as not to disturb the delicate terrorist businesses. Journalists made up bullshit excuses like "they are transporting oil in barrels mounted on donkeys" (as if such a smorgasbord of donkeys or mules wouldn't be visible and vulnerable as hell) or "the pipeline has already been destroyed during the war in Iraq" (not in Syria it wasn't, and satellite photos showed oil pumping stations operating safely on IS territory).

Boasting about bombing terrorists while preserving their financing sources intact is the modern American hypocrisy.

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Oh boo hoo, a bunch of shitskins got forced to pick bananas by a capitalist dictator a hundred years ago when they could have been forced to pick them for a socialist one. What a travesty.

we dindu nuffin!

>>74
Nobody said that!

>>75
At the very least, the US and France, i.e., the govts. and their populations, have repeatedly said so, after every attack.
Don't cry the next time a random retarded faggot decides to blow himself, or at least assume your own responsibility in justifying the actions of your military forces. You support random terrorists and the bombings of random people, you pay the price. In fact, you should be grateful that they haven't done worse...

check em

>>76
They didn't say that!
