  134. Tye explained. �I have also brought my complaint to the

  183. � NSA�s New Partner in Spying ; Saudi Arabia�s Brutal State Police ::
  184.  
  185.  The National Security Agency last year significantly expanded
  186. its cooperative relationship with the Saudi Ministry of Interior,
  187. one of the world�s most repressive and abusive government agencies.
  188. An April 2013 top secret memo provided by NSA whistleblower Edward
  189. Snowden details the agency�s plans �to provide direct analytic and
  190. technical support� to the Saudis on �internal security� matters.
  191.  
  192.  The Saudi Ministry of Interior�referred to in the document as MOI
  193. � has been condemned for years as one of the most brutal human rights
  194. violators in the world. In 2013, the U.S. State Department reported
  195. that �Ministry of Interior officials sometimes subjected prisoners
  196. and detainees to torture and other physical abuse,� specifically
  197. mentioning a 2011 episode in which MOI agents allegedly �poured an
  198. antiseptic cleaning liquid down [the] throat� of one human rights
  199. activist. The report also notes the MOI�s use of invasive surveillance
  200. targeted at political and religious dissidents.
  201.  
  202.  But as the State Department publicly catalogued those very abuses,
  203. the NSA worked to provide increased surveillance assistance to the
  204. ministry that perpetrated them. The move is part of the Obama
  205. Administration�s increasingly close ties with the Saudi regime;
  206. beyond the new cooperation with the MOI, the memo describes �a
  207. period of rejuvenation� for the NSA�s relationship with the Saudi
  208. Ministry of Defense.
  209.  
  210.  In general, US support for the Saudi regime is long-standing. One
  211. secret 2007 NSA memo lists Saudi Arabia as one of four countries
  212. where the US �has [an] interest in regime continuity.�

  406. � Some New Thoughts on the Snowden Cache ::
  407.  
  408. http://members.efn.org/~paulmd/SomeNewThoughtsontheSnowdenCache.html
  409.  
  410.  �So, apparently the Snowden cache contains quite a large number
  411. of intercepted communications, not just technical documents,
  412. PowerPoint slides, and memos. This opens up a whole can of worms,
  413. and some new possibilities for the cache.
  414.  
  415.  Worms first: several journalists have access to an incredibly
  416. sensitive cache of personal information. According to some NSA
  417. defenders: Snowden has committed a horrible privacy violation
  418. of thousands of innocent Americans. This is a big problem, but
  419. it requires some mental gymnastics not to recognize that if
  420. Snowden had violated the privacy of innocents by giving this
  421. information to journalists, so had the NSA by storing it in the
  422. first place.  Realistically, it�s not one or the other, it�s
  423. both. Now that we know what it contains, the long term storage
  424. of that portion cache by journalists becomes very problematic.
  425. On one hand: it�s evidence, on the other, it�s private information
  426. on many thousands of people.
  427.  
  428.  While there are some problems, there are also new possibilities.
  429. First, it could be a boon for defendants, and those facing legal
  430. jeopardy, to confront the evidence against them, to receive a
  431. genuinely fair trial. This is doubly important for drug cases,
  432. particularly those with DEA involvement, because of the highly
  433. questionably practice of Parallel Reconstruction, wherein
  434. classified evidence is laundered, and is reconstructed using
  435. traditional methods. In effect: perjury. Second, it is prima
  436. facie evidence to use in lawsuits against the NSA, proof that
  437. a plaintiff had been spied on. Third, one of the wilder stories:
  438. Snowden to Reveal the Secrets of Arab Dictators, really can
  439. happen now. The US government�s dealings with brutal regimes
  440. are newsworthy, so are the dealings of those regimes against
  441. their own people.
  442.  
  443.  One of the things that makes Cablegate so powerful, and
  444. simultaneously controversial, is the ability of ordinary
  445. citizens to query it, and learn what the government had kept
  446. hidden. In at least one case, it allowed a rendition victim
  447. to seek justice. I am not suggesting leaking it out in full,
  448. but ways of allowing ordinary citizens the ability to get
  449. their own communications, and broadening access, should be
  450. considered. Contrary to the opinions of those who described
  451. the Post�s story as a dud, it�s the first page of the next
  452. chapter of the Snowden Saga, with wide-reaching, and
  453. unpredictable consequences.�

  462. Seek to Control the Internet ::
  463.  
  464.  The secretive British spy agency GCHQ has developed
  465. covert tools to seed the internet with false information,
  466. including the ability to manipulate the results of online
  467. polls, artificially inflate pageview counts on web sites,
  468. �amplify� sanctioned messages on YouTube, and censor video
  469. content judged to be �extremist.� The capabilities, detailed
  470. in documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden,
  471. even include an old standby for pre-adolescent prank callers
  472. everywhere: A way to connect two unsuspecting phone users
  473. together in a call.
  474.  
  475.  The tools were created by GCHQ�s Joint Threat Research
  476. Intelligence Group (JTRIG), and constitute some of the most
  477. startling methods of propaganda and internet deception
  478. contained within the Snowden archive. Previously disclosed
  479. documents have detailed JTRIG�s use of �fake victim blog
  480. posts,� �false flag operations,� �honey traps� and
  481. psychological manipulation to target online activists,
  482. monitor visitors to WikiLeaks, and spy on YouTube and

  496.  
  497.  This week, the Associated Press exposed a secret
  498. program run by the US Agency for International
  499. Development to create �a Twitter-like Cuban
  500. communications network� run through �secret shell
  501. companies� in order to create the false appearance
  502. of being a privately owned operation. Unbeknownst
  503. to the service�s Cuban users was the fact that
  504. �American contractors were gathering their private
  505. data in the hope that it might be used for political
  506. purposes��specifically, to manipulate those users
  507. in order to foment dissent in Cuba and subvert its
  508. government. According to top-secret documents
  509. published today by The Intercept, this sort of
  510. operation is frequently discussed at western
  511. intelligence agencies, which have plotted ways to
  512. covertly use social media for �propaganda,� �deception,�
  513. �mass messaging,� and �pushing stories.� ...

  520.  
  521.  ... The annual SIGDEV conference, according to one
  522. NSA document published today by The Intercept, �enables
  523. unprecedented visibility of SIGINT Development activities
  524. from across the Extended Enterprise, Second Party and US
  525. Intelligence communities.� The 2009 Conference, held at
  526. Fort Meade, included �eighty-six representatives from
  527. the wider US Intelligence Community, covering agencies
  528. as diverse as CIA (a record 50 participants), the Air
  529. Force Research Laboratory and the National Air and
  530. Space Intelligence Center.�
  531.  
  532.  Defenders of surveillance agencies have often insinuated
  533. that such proposals are nothing more than pipe dreams
  534. and wishful thinking on the part of intelligence agents.
  535. But these documents are not merely proposals or hypothetical
  536. scenarios. As described by the NSA document published
  537. today, the purpose of SIGDEV presentations is �to
  538. synchronize discovery efforts, share breakthroughs,
  539. and swap knowledge on the art of analysis.�
  540.  
  541.  For instance: One of the programs described by the newly
  542. released GCHQ document is dubbed �Royal Concierge,� under
  543. which the British agency intercepts email confirmations
  544. of hotel reservations to enable it to subject hotel
  545. guests to electronic monitoring. It also contemplates
  546. how to �influence the hotel choice� of travelers and
  547. to determine whether they stay at �SIGINT friendly�
  548. hotels. The document asks: �Can we influence the hotel
  549. choice? Can we cancel their visit?� ...

  746.  
  747. � NSA ; Tor Source Code Vulnerabilities ::
  748.  
  749.  �We have seen several targets using Tor. Our goal was to
  750. analyze Tor source code and determine any vulnerabilities
  751. in the system. We set up an internal Tor network to analyze
  752. Tor traffic, in the hopes of discovering ways to passively
  753. identify it. We also worked to create a custom Tor client
  754. which allows the user finer control.� ... ...
  755.  
  756.  �This accomplishes several things. Most basically, the Tor
  757. servers, many of which are listed on publicly advertised
  758. directory servers, are chosen to act as a series of proxies.
  759. This may seem to be excessively complex, as a single proxy
  760. server can be used to hide one�s location, but a single-hop
  761. proxy is vulnerable in two ways. First, by analyzing the
  762. pattern of the traffic going to and from the proxy server,
  763. it is possible to deduce which clients are making which requests.
  764. Second, if an attacker owns the proxy server, then it certainly
  765. knows who is asking for what, and anonymization is ruined. By
  766. using multiple hops, Tor is much more resistant to both of
  767. these attacks. Traffic analysis becomes extraordinarily
  768. difficult, as it must be coordinated across several machines,
  769. and an attacker must own all the hops along the circuit in
  770. order to trace requests back to the originating client.�
  771.  
  772. ... ...
  773.  
  774.  �In our time in the lab, we found that running an nmap on a
  775. node that is offering a hidden service will turn up the port
  776. that the hidden service is using to deal with incoming
  777. connections. It can then be directly connected to, outside
  778. of Tor.�
  779.  
  780. ... ...
  781.  
  782.  �We would have to try to connect to each of the ports we see
  783. open on a machine to determine if there is a hidden service
  784. being run. We would not even know which protocol the hidden
  785. service is running. It may be an HTTP server, an FTP server,
  786. an SMTP server, etc. The only thing we know is that the protocol
  787. must run over TCP. It is not enough to attempt to connect once
  788. to each port, using an HTTP GET request. Several protocols must
  789. be tried.�
  790.  
  791. ... ...
  792.  
  793.  �It may also be useful to study Tor directory servers in more
  794. detail. Our work focused solely on the client, but many attacks
  795. would be much easier with access to more Tor servers. The
  796. directory servers ultimately control which Tor servers are
  797. used by clients. We have found that a server can put itself on
  798. a directory server multiple times; all it takes is the server
  799. running several Tor processes, each having a different nickname,
  800. open port, fingerprint, and LOG FILE. This only requires different
  801. configuration files for the different processes, which are easy
  802. to set up. That machine will handle a disproportionate amount of
  803. traffic, since it is listed several times. This increases the
  804. density of friendly servers in the cloud without increasing the
  805. number of servers we have set up. Unfortunately, each listing
  806. has the same IP address, which would be very noticeable to anyone
  807. who inspecting the directories.�

  838. Angela Merkel Plans to Scrap No-spy Agreement with US-Britain ::
  839.  
  840.  A new surveillance scandal is threatening to unsettle US-German
  841. relations after it emerged that an employee of Germany�s
  842. intelligence agency has been arrested under suspicion of acting
  843. as a double agent for the US.
  844.  
  845.  According to several reports in the German media, a 31-year-old
  846. member of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) administration
  847. department in Pullach was on Wednesday arrested by the country�s
  848. federal prosecutor, originally under suspicion of passing on
  849. information to Russian intelligence services. ... ...
  850.  
  851.  The plan is in response to the scandal resulting from last
  852. week�s arrest of a 31-year-old BND �double agent� who spent
  853. at least two years selling top-secret German intelligence
  854. documents to his US spymasters in return for cash payments
  855. of �10,000 (�7,940) per document. ...
  856.  
  857.  The double agent is reported to have simply emailed Berlin�s
  858. American embassy and asked whether officials were interested
  859. in �co-operation�. He subsequently downloaded at least 300
  860. secret documents on to USB sticks that he handed to his
  861. American spymasters at secret location in Austria.
  862.  
  863.  He was caught by German counter-espionage agents only after
  864. he was found offering similar BND documents to Berlin�s Russian
  865. embassy. The Germans had considered it �impossible� that one
  866. of their own intelligence men could be working as a �double agent�
  867. for the Americans.

  1036. � NSA Whistleblower Russel Tice Reveals NSA Has
  1037. Documents �Above Top Secret� and Many Are Burned
  1038. After Covert Operations, Routinely ::
  1039.  
  1040.  �Think of it this way. Remember I told you about the
  1041. NSA doing everything they could to make sure that the
  1042. information from 40 years ago � from spying on Frank
  1043. Church and Lord knows how many other Congressman that
  1044. they were spying on � was hidden?
  1045.  
  1046.  Now do you think they�re going to put that information
  1047. into Powerpoint slides that are easy to explain to
  1048. everybody what they�re doing?
  1049.  
  1050.  They would not even put their own NSA designators on
  1051. the reports [so that no one would know that] it came
  1052. from the NSA. They made the reports look like they were
  1053. Humint (human intelligence) reports. They did it to
  1054. hide the fact that they were NSA and they were doing
  1055. the collection. That�s 40 years ago. [The NSA and other
  1056. agencies are still doing "parallel construction",
  1057. "laundering" information to hide the fact that the
  1058. information is actually from mass NSA surveillance.]
  1059.  
  1060.  Now, what NSA is doing right now is that they�re taking
  1061. the information and they�re putting it in a much higher
  1062. security level. It�s called �ECI� � Exceptionally Controlled
  1063. Information � and it�s called the black program � which I
  1064. was a specialist in, by the way.
  1065.  
  1066.  I specialized in black world � DOD and IC (Intelligence
  1067. Community) � programs, operations and missions � in �VRKs�,
  1068. �ECIs�, and �SAPs�, �STOs�. SAP equals Special Access
  1069. Program. It�s highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access
  1070. to these. STO equals Special Technical Operations It�s
  1071. highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access to these.
  1072.  
  1073.  Now in that world � the ECI/VRK world � everything in that
  1074. system is classified at a higher level and it has its own
  1075. computer systems that house it. It�s totally separate than
  1076. the system which Mr. Snowden was privy to, which was called
  1077. the �JWICS�: Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications
  1078. System. The JWICS system is what everybody at NSA has access
  1079. to. Mr Snowden had Sys Admin [systems administrator] authority
  1080. for the JWICS.
  1081.  
  1082.  And you still have to have TS/SCI clearance [i.e. Top Secret/
  1083. Sensitive Compartmented Information - also known as �code word�
  1084. - clearance] to get on the JWICS. But the ECI/VRK systems are
  1085. much higher[levels of special compartmentalized clearance]
  1086. than the JWICS. And you have to be in the black world to get
  1087. that [clearance].
  1088.  
  1089.  ECI = Exceptionally Controlled Information. I do not believe
  1090. Mr. Snowden had any access to these ECI controlled networks).
  1091. VRK = Very Restricted Knowledge. I do not believe Mr. Snowden
  1092. had any access to these VRK controlled networks.
  1093.  
  1094.  These programs typically have, at the least, a requirement of
  1095. 100 year or until death, �till the person first being �read in�
  1096. [i.e. sworn to secrecy as part of access to the higher
  1097. classification program] can talk about them. [As an interesting
  1098. sidenote, the Washington Times reported in 2006 that � when Tice
  1099. offered to testify to Congress about this illegal spying � he
  1100. was informed by the NSA that the Senate and House intelligence
  1101. committees were not cleared to hear such information.]
  1102.  
  1103.  It�s very compartmentalized and � even with stuff that they had
  1104. � you might have something at NSA, that there�s literally 40
  1105. people at NSA that know that it�s going on in the entire agency.
  1106.  
  1107.  When the stuff came out in the New York Times [the first big
  1108. spying story, which broke in 2005] � and I was a source of
  1109. information for the New York Times � that�s when President Bush
  1110. made up that nonsense about the �terrorist surveillance program.�
  1111. By the way, that never existed. That was made up.
  1112.  
  1113.  There was no such thing beforehand. It was made up � to try
  1114. to placate the American people.
  1115.  
  1116.  The NSA IG (Inspector General) � who was not cleared for this �
  1117. all of a sudden is told he has to do an investigation on this;
  1118. something he has no information or knowledge of.
  1119.  
  1120.  So what they did, is they took a few documents and they
  1121. downgraded [he classification level of the documents] � just
  1122. a few � and gave them to them to placate this basic whitewash
  1123. investigation.�

  1211. ? Snowden Strikes Back at NSA, Emails NBC News ::
  1212.  
  1213.  Fugitive Edward Snowden on Friday challenged the
  1214. NSA�s insistence that it has no evidence he tried
  1215. to raise concerns about the agency�s surveillance
  1216. activity before he began leaking government documents
  1217. to reporters, calling the response a �clearly tailored
  1218. and incomplete leak ... for a political advantage.�
  1219.  
  1220.  �The NSA�s new discovery of written contact between
  1221. me and its lawyers -- after more than a year of denying
  1222. any such contact existed - raises serious concerns,�
  1223. Snowden said in an email Friday to NBC News. �It
  1224. reveals as false the NSA�s claim to Barton Gellman
  1225. of the Washington Post in December of last year, that
  1226. �after extensive investigation, including interviews
  1227. with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we
  1228. have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden�s
  1229. contention that he brought these matters to anyone�s
  1230. attention.��
  1231.

  1489.  
  1490.  The National Security Agency has built a surveillance
  1491. system capable of recording �100 percent� of a foreign
  1492. country�s telephone calls, enabling the agency to rewind
  1493. and review conversations as long as a month after they
  1494. take place, according to people with direct knowledge of
  1495. the effort and documents supplied by former contractor
  1496. Edward Snowden.
  1497.  
  1498.  A senior manager for the program compares it to a time
  1499. machine � one that can replay the voices from any call
  1500. without requiring that a person be identified in advance
  1501. for surveillance.
  1502.  
  1503.  The voice interception program, called MYSTIC, began in
  1504. 2009. Its RETRO tool, short for �retrospective retrieval,�
  1505. and related projects reached full capacity against the
  1506. first target nation in 2011. Planning documents two years
  1507. later anticipated similar operations elsewhere.
  1508.  
  1509.  In the initial deployment, collection systems are recording
  1510. �every single� conversation nationwide, storing billions of
  1511. them in a 30-day rolling buffer that clears the oldest
  1512. calls as new ones arrive, according to a classified summary.
  1513.  
  1514.  The call buffer opens a door �into the past,� the summary
  1515. says, enabling users to �retrieve audio of interest that
  1516. was not tasked at the time of the original call.� Analysts
  1517. listen to only a fraction of 1 percent of the calls, but
  1518. the absolute numbers are high. Each month, they send
  1519. millions of voice clippings, or �cuts,� for processing
  1520. and long-term storage.

  1556.  The Norwegian Inteligence Service (NIS) is also

  1558. is served daily. This is partly the reason why NSA
  1559. now purchases a supercomputer codenamed Steelwinter.
  1560. This information comes from a document Edward Snowden
  1561. took from NSA and has later shared with Dagbladet.
  1562. The document, marked �top secret� is a summary of
  1563. how the NSA sees the collaboration with Norway after
  1564. a meeting between the two services in March 2013.
  1565.  
  1566.  The supercomputer NIS buys is a derivation of the
  1567. so-called Windsor Blue supercomputer.
  1568.  
  1569.  �NIS is in the process of acquiring STEEL WINTER
  1570. (a WINDSORBLUE derivative supercomputer) and has
  1571. entered into a partnership with NSA - cryptanalysis
  1572. ( ...) service to develop applications of mutual
  1573. benefit� the document says.
  1574.  
  1575.  �Windsor Blue� is the name of a program for
  1576. supercomputers at the American IT-giant IBM. The
  1577. company is working towards creating a so-called
  1578. exascale supercomputer which means it can make a

  1759.  
  1760.  The American government conducted a major intelligence
  1761. offensive against China, with targets including the
  1762. Chinese government and networking company Huawei,
  1763. according to documents from former NSA worker Edward
  1764. Snowden that have been viewed by SPIEGEL and the
  1765. New York Times. Among the American intelligence
  1766. service�s targets were former Chinese President
  1767. Hu Jintao, the Chinese Trade Ministry, banks, as
  1768. well as telecommunications companies.
  1769.  
  1770.  But the NSA made a special effort to target Huawei.
  1771. With 150,000 employees and �28 billion ($38.6 billion)
  1772. in annual revenues, the company is the world�s second
  1773. largest network equipment supplier. At the beginning
  1774. of 2009, the NSA began an extensive operation, referred
  1775. to internally as �Shotgiant,� against the company, which
  1776. is considered a major competitor to US-based Cisco. The
  1777. company produces smartphones and tablets, but also mobile
  1778. phone infrastructure, WLAN routers and fiber optic cable
  1779. -- the kind of technology that is decisive in the NSA�s
  1780. battle for data supremacy.
  1781.  
  1782.  A special unit with the US intelligence agency succeeded
  1783. in infiltrating Huwaei�s network and copied a list of
  1784. 1,400 customers as well as internal documents providing
  1785. training to engineers on the use of Huwaei products,
  1786. among other things.

  1805. � NSA Mapping and Spying System Administrators ::
  1806.  
  1807.  The document consists of several posts � one of
  1808. them is titled �I hunt sys admins� � that were
  1809. published in 2012 on an internal discussion board
  1810. hosted on the agency�s classified servers. They
  1811. were written by an NSA official involved in the
  1812. agency�s effort to break into foreign network
  1813. routers, the devices that connect computer
  1814. networks and transport data across the Internet.
  1815. By infiltrating the computers of system administrators
  1816. who work for foreign phone and Internet companies,
  1817. the NSA can gain access to the calls and emails
  1818. that flow over their networks.
  1819.  
  1820.  The classified posts reveal how the NSA official
  1821. aspired to create a database that would function
  1822. as an international hit list of sys admins to
  1823. potentially target. Yet the document makes clear
  1824. that the admins are not suspected of any criminal
  1825. activity � they are targeted only because they
  1826. control access to networks the agency wants to
  1827. infiltrate. �Who better to target than the person
  1828. that already has the �keys to the kingdom�?� one
  1829. of the posts says.
  1830.  
  1831.  The NSA wants more than just passwords. The document
  1832. includes a list of other data that can be harvested
  1833. from computers belonging to sys admins, including
  1834. network maps, customer lists, business correspondence
  1835. and, the author jokes, �pictures of cats in funny
  1836. poses with amusing captions.�

  1923. � How the NSA Plans to Infect Millions of Computers
  1924. With Malware ::
  1925.  
  1926.  Top-secret documents reveal that the National
  1927. Security Agency is dramatically expanding its
  1928. ability to covertly hack into computers on a mass
  1929. scale by using automated systems that reduce the
  1930. level of human oversight in the process.
  1931.  
  1932.  The classified files � provided previously by NSA
  1933. whistleblower Edward Snowden � contain new details
  1934. about groundbreaking surveillance technology the
  1935. agency has developed to infect potentially millions
  1936. of computers worldwide with malware �implants.� The
  1937. clandestine initiative enables the NSA to break into
  1938. targeted computers and to siphon out data from foreign
  1939. Internet and phone networks.

  1949. https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1076862/quantum-insert-diagrams.pdf
  1950.  
  1951.  The covert infrastructure that supports the hacking
  1952. efforts operates from the agency�s headquarters in
  1953. Fort Meade, Maryland, and from eavesdropping bases
  1954. in the United Kingdom and Japan. GCHQ, the British
  1955. intelligence agency, appears to have played an integral
  1956. role in helping to develop the implants tactic.
  1957.  
  1958.  The implants being deployed were once reserved for
  1959. a few hundred hard-to-reach targets, whose communications
  1960. could not be monitored through traditional wiretaps. But
  1961. the documents analyzed by The Intercept show how the NSA
  1962. has aggressively accelerated its hacking initiatives in
  1963. the past decade by computerizing some processes previously
  1964. handled by humans. The automated system � codenamed TURBINE
  1965. � is designed to �allow the current implant network to
  1966. scale to large size (millions of implants) by creating
  1967. a system that does automated control implants by groups
  1968. instead of individually.�
  1969.  
  1970. https://firstlook.org/theintercept/article/2014/03/12/nsa-plans-infect-millions-computers-malware/
  1971.  
  1972. � �Thousands of Implants� ::
  1973.  
  1974.  �Building the operations floor and increasing the number
  1975. of break-out rooms will enable us to grow from the current
  1976. average of these operations per clay to over per day and will
  1977. facilitate the integration of 55 computer network operations
  1978. and real--time customer support. Sustained collection involving
  1979. automated implants pushing collected data from targets to the
  1980. RDC as well as voice and geolocation collection are managed from
  1981. the Operations Teaming Areas. The increased capacity in this
  1982. area will support a growth from managing an average of I 543
  1983. active implants today to simultaneously managing thousands of
  1984. implanted targets. The increased personnel capacity will support
  1985. this net growth in operations tempo and will allow the integration
  1986. of TAD's Requirements Targeting Division alongside the operators
  1987. in order to better target development and efficiently plan and
  1988. execute endpoint operations.�
  1989.  
  1990. http://cryptome.org/2014/03/nsa-thousands-implants.pdf
  1991.  
  1992.  According to one top-secret document from 2012, the agency
  1993. can deploy malware by sending out spam emails that trick targets
  1994. into clicking a malicious link. Once activated, a �back-door
  1995. implant� infects their computers within eight seconds.
  1996.  
  1997.  There�s only one problem with this tactic, codenamed WILLOWVIXEN:
  1998. According to the documents, the spam method has become less
  1999. successful in recent years, as Internet users have become wary
  2000. of unsolicited emails and less likely to click on anything that
  2001. looks suspicious.
  2002.  
  2003.  Consequently, the NSA has turned to new and more advanced
  2004. hacking techniques. These include performing so-called
  2005. �man-in-the-middle� and �man-on-the-side� attacks, which
  2006. covertly force a user�s internet browser to route to NSA
  2007. computer servers that try to infect them with an implant.
  2008.  
  2009.  To perform a man-on-the-side attack, the NSA observes a
  2010. target�s Internet traffic using its global network of covert
  2011. �accesses� to data as it flows over fiber optic cables or
  2012. satellites. When the target visits a website that the NSA
  2013. is able to exploit, the agency�s surveillance sensors alert
  2014. the TURBINE system, which then �shoots� data packets at the
  2015. targeted computer�s IP address within a fraction of a second.
  2016.  
  2017.  In one man-on-the-side technique, codenamed QUANTUMHAND,
  2018. the agency disguises itself as a fake Facebook server. When
  2019. a target attempts to log in to the social media site, the
  2020. NSA transmits malicious data packets that trick the target�s
  2021. computer into thinking they are being sent from the real
  2022. Facebook. By concealing its malware within what looks like
  2023. an ordinary Facebook page, the NSA is able to hack into the
  2024. targeted computer and covertly siphon out data from its
  2025. hard drive. A top-secret animation demonstrates the tactic
  2026. in action.

  2037.  According to Matt Blaze, a surveillance and cryptography
  2038. expert at the University of Pennsylvania, it appears that

  2077.  Alliances between security services are usually
  2078. kept secret. But thousands of NSA documents are
  2079. now in the hands of a select group of journalists,
  2080. thanks to former NSA worker Edward Snowden. They
  2081. show that the NSA is the central organisation in
  2082. an international exchange of tapped telephone and
  2083. internet traffic.
  2084.  
  2085.  The Netherlands is also a part of this. In September,
  2086. the German weekly Der Spiegel published an NSA document
  2087. about the Netherlands. The graph, entitled �Netherlands
  2088. � 30 days�, appeared to show that the NSA had listened
  2089. in to 1.8 million Dutch telephone calls.
  2090.  
  2091.  But last month, the cabinet showed that the reality
  2092. was different. The 1.8 million telephone calls, wrote
  2093. home affairs minister Ronald Plasterk and defence
  2094. minister Jeanine Hennis, were not intercepted by
  2095. the Americans, but by the Dutch and then shared with
  2096. the NSA. It was not American, but Dutch espionage.
  2097.  
  2098.  Two new documents give further details. The Netherlands,
  2099. it transpires, intercepts vast amounts of Somali
  2100. telephone traffic and shares it with the NSA. The
  2101. Dutch use the information to combat piracy. But the
  2102. Americans may possibly use the information for
  2103. something else as well: taking out terrorism suspects
  2104. by attacking them with armed drones.

  2305. left the terminal.

  2307.  After reviewing the document, one of Canada�s
  2308. foremost authorities on cyber-security says the
  2309. clandestine operation by the Communications
  2310. Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) was almost
  2311. certainly illegal. ... ...
  2312.  
  2313.  The document indicates the passenger tracking
  2314. operation was a trial run of a powerful new
  2315. software program CSEC was developing with help
  2316. from its US counterpart, the NSA.
  2317.  
  2318.  In the document, CSEC called the new technologies
  2319. �game-changing,� and said they could be used for

  2631. � Documents Reveal Top NSA Hacking Unit ::
  2632.  
  2633.  The NSA�s TAO hacking unit is considered
  2634. to be the intelligence agency�s top secret
  2635. weapon. It maintains its own covert network,
  2636. infiltrates computers around the world and
  2637. even intercepts shipping deliveries to plant
  2638. back doors in electronics ordered by those
  2639. it is targeting. ... ...

  2641. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-nsa-uses-powerful-toolbox-in-effort-to-spy-on-global-networks-a-940969.html
  2642.  
  2643.  The insert method and other variants of
  2644. QUANTUM are closely linked to a shadow
  2645. network operated by the NSA alongside the
  2646. Internet, with its own, well-hidden
  2647. infrastructure comprised of �covert�
  2648. routers and servers. It appears the NSA
  2649. also incorporates routers and servers
  2650. from non-NSA networks into its covert
  2651. network by infecting these networks with
  2652. �implants� that then allow the government
  2653. hackers to control the computers remotely.
  2654.  
  2655.  In this way, the intelligence service seeks
  2656. to identify and track its targets based on
  2657. their digital footprints. These identifiers
  2658. could include certain email addresses or
  2659. website cookies set on a person�s computer.
  2660. Of course, a cookie doesn�t automatically
  2661. identify a person, but it can if it includes
  2662. additional information like an email address.
  2663. In that case, a cookie becomes something
  2664. like the web equivalent of a fingerprint.

  2685.  
  2686.  The specialists at ANT, which presumably
  2687. stands for Advanced or Access Network Technology,
  2688. could be described as master carpenters for
  2689. the NSA�s department for Tailored Access
  2690. Operations (TAO). In cases where TAO�s usual
  2691. hacking and data-skimming methods don�t suffice,
  2692. ANT workers step in with their special tools,
  2693. penetrating networking equipment, monitoring
  2694. mobile phones and computers and diverting or
  2695. even modifying data. Such implants, as they are
  2696. referred to in NSA parlance, have played a
  2697. considerable role in the intelligence agency�s
  2698. ability to establish a global covert network
  2699. that operates alongside the Internet.
  2700.  
  2701.  Some of the equipment available is quite
  2702. inexpensive. A rigged monitor cable that
  2703. allows �TAO personnel to see what is displayed
  2704. on the targeted monitor,� for example, is
  2705. available for just $30. But an �active GSM
  2706. base station� -- a tool that makes it possible
  2707. to mimic a mobile phone tower and thus monitor
  2708. cell phones -- costs a full $40,000. Computer
  2709. bugging devices disguised as normal USB plugs,
  2710. capable of sending and receiving data via radio
  2711. undetected, are available in packs of 50 for
  2712. over $1 million.
  2713.  
  2714.  The ANT division doesn�t just manufacture
  2715. surveillance hardware. It also develops software
  2716. for special tasks. The ANT developers have a
  2717. clear preference for planting their malicious
  2718. code in so-called BIOS, software located on a
  2719. computer�s motherboard that is the first thing
  2720. to load when a computer is turned on.
  2721.  
  2722.  This has a number of valuable advantages: an
  2723. infected PC or server appears to be functioning
  2724. normally, so the infection remains invisible
  2725. to virus protection and other security programs.
  2726. And even if the hard drive of an infected
  2727. computer has been completely erased and a new
  2728. operating system is installed, the ANT malware
  2729. can continue to function and ensures that new
  2730. spyware can once again be loaded onto what is
  2731. presumed to be a clean computer. The ANT
  2732. developers call this �Persistence� and believe
  2733. this approach has provided them with the
  2734. possibility of permanent access.
  2735.  
  2736.  Another program attacks the firmware in
  2737. hard drives manufactured by Western Digital,
  2738. Seagate, Maxtor and Samsung, all of which,
  2739. with the exception of latter, are American
  2740. companies. Here, too, it appears the US
  2741. intelligence agency is compromising the
  2742. technology and products of American companies.

  2901. http://cryptome.org/2013/12/klayman-048-049.pdf
  2902.  
  2903.  A federal judge ruled Monday that the
  2904. National Security Agency program which
  2905. collects information on nearly all telephone
  2906. calls made to, from or within the United
  2907. States is likely unconstitutional.
  2908.  
  2909.  US District Court Judge Richard Leon found
  2910. that the program appears to violate the
  2911. Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable
  2912. searches and seizures. He also said the
  2913. Justice Department had failed to demonstrate
  2914. that collecting the information had helped
  2915. to head off terrorist attacks.
  2916.  
  2917.  Acting on a lawsuit brought by conservative
  2918. legal activist Larry Klayman, Leon issued
  2919. a preliminary injunction barring the NSA
  2920. from collecting so-called metadata pertaining
  2921. to the Verizon accounts of Klayman and one
  2922. of his clients. However, the judge stayed
  2923. the order to allow for an appeal.

  2927.  
  2928.  Leon�s 68-page opinion is the first
  2929. significant legal setback for the NSA�s
  2930. surveillance program since it was disclosed
  2931. in June in news stories based on leaks
  2932. from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
  2933. For seven years, the metadata program has
  2934. been approved repeatedly by numerous judges
  2935. on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
  2936. Court and found constitutional by at least
  2937. one judge sitting in a criminal case.

  3026. � Did British Telecom Provides Backdoors
  3027. for NSA and GCHQ (?) ::
  3028.  
  3029.  In a paper titled �The Internet Dark Age�
  3030. the researchers say that BT is shipping
  3031. hardware with backdoors that allow secret
  3032. government access in order to make network
  3033. compromise easier. �BT are directly responsible
  3034. for covertly embedding secret spy equipment
  3035. in millions of homes and businesses within
  3036. the UK,� the paper states.
  3037.  
  3038.  Recently on Cryptome (the better leaks
  3039. than wikileaks site), a paper appeared
  3040. pointing out that BT (British Telecom)
  3041. assigns all their modems an extra address
  3042. in the 30.x.x.x address space, and then
  3043. attaches SSH and SNMP to that address.
  3044. This looks like what many ISPs do, assigning
  3045. a second IP address for management, except
  3046. for one thing: the 30.0.0.0/8 block is
  3047. assigned to the United States Department
  3048. of Defense. This has caused a fevered round
  3049. of speculation that this is actually a
  3050. secret backdoor for the NSA/GCHQ, so that
  3051. they can secretly monitor and control
  3052. peoples� home networks.
  3053.  
  3054.  Maybe, but it�s probably not the case.
  3055. The better explanation is that BT simply
  3056. chose this address space because it�s
  3057. non-routable. While it�s assigned public
  3058. address, it�s only used inside the private
  3059. DoD military network. Try tracerouting to
  3060. that address space, you�ll see that your
  3061. packets go nowhere.

  3067. � Bruce Schneier Leaves British Telecom ::
  3068.  
  3069.  �Yes, it�s true. And contrary to rumors,
  3070. this has nothing to do with the NSA or GCHQ.
  3071. No, BT wasn�t always happy with my writings
  3072. on the topic, but it knew that I am an
  3073. independent thinker and didn�t try to
  3074. muzzle me in any way. I�m just ready to
  3075. leave. I spent seven years at BT, and
  3076. seven years at Counterpane Internet
  3077. Security, Inc., before BT bought us.
  3078. It�s past time for something new.�

  3084. � NSA Infected Around 50,000 Networks Worldwide ::
  3085.  
  3086.  The American intelligence service - NSA -
  3087. infected more than 50,000 computer networks
  3088. worldwide with malicious software designed
  3089. to steal sensitive information. Documents
  3090. provided by former NSA-employee Edward Snowden
  3091. and seen by this newspaper, prove this.
  3092.  
  3093.  A management presentation dating from 2012
  3094. explains how the NSA collects information
  3095. worldwide. In addition, the presentation
  3096. shows that the intelligence service uses
  3097. �Computer Network Exploitation� (CNE) in
  3098. more than 50,000 locations. CNE is the
  3099. secret infiltration of computer systems
  3100. achieved by installing malware, malicious
  3101. software.
  3102.  
  3103.  One example of this type of hacking was
  3104. discovered in September 2013 at the Belgium
  3105. telecom provider Belgacom. For a number of
  3106. years the British intelligence service - GCHQ �
  3107. has been installing this malicious software
  3108. in the Belgacom network in order to tap
  3109. their customers� telephone and data traffic.
  3110. The Belgacom network was infiltrated by GCHQ
  3111. through a process of luring employees to a
  3112. false Linkedin page.

  3120.  
  3121.  The NSA SIGINT Strategy 2012-2016 pretty
  3122. well covers all the comsec and crypto
  3123. initiatives to covertly exploit people,
  3124. cryptographers, anonymizers, informants,
  3125. planted spies, security firms, networks,
  3126. governments, nations, friends, lovers
  3127. and citizens.
  3128.  
  3129.  Not sure leaks, lawsuits and protests
  3130. will deter this bounty of profits for
  3131. the comsec industry, unless the public
  3132. is aroused to demand the 3 branches grasp
  3133. the nettle, and all those making money
  3134. from this deception operation decide to
  3135. give up their profits, perks and prestige.
  3136.  
  3137.  I mean those on the comsec and crypto
  3138. lists, those participating in standards
  3139. committees, those enjoying contracts and
  3140. grants in think tanks and universities,
  3141. those in law firms and public interest
  3142. orgs, those in the media and academia,
  3143. those in non-spy gov agencies, pretending
  3144. to be in opposition as they scramble to
  3145. rejigger their products and sales pitches,
  3146. to exploit what is being fabricated to
  3147. diminish Snowden�s revelations with new
  3148. forms of secrecy, technology, law,
  3149. regulations, bribery, lobbying, grants,
  3150. contracts, list lurking, online and

  3209. analysts to query GCHQ�s vast repository
  3210. of metadata about the world�s secure
  3211. communications over TLS/SSL. It�s
  3212. certainly not a program through which
  3213. the GCHQ, or NSA for that matter, performs
  3214. man-in-the-middle attacks against internet
  3215. services like Google, as reported by others,
  3216. including Bruce Schneier. The reports that
  3217. claim the NSA performed MITM attacks against
  3218. Google are based on a small piece of a
  3219. document that describes a FLYING PIG
  3220. (which is a not an NSA program, as you may
  3221. have noticed) use case (presumably, an
  3222. investigation into the DigiNotar CA breach).
  3223. That�s not to say the GCHQ doesn�t perform
  3224. MITM attacks, but there�s no evidence to
  3225. be found in this document. Though, FLYING PIG
  3226. may be used to prepare MITM attacks, e.g.
  3227. by providing information about a target.�

  3312. � NSA Tracking Cellphone Locations ::
  3313.  
  3314.  In unveiling new Edward Snowden revelations
  3315. about NSA spying, the Washington Post has
  3316. once again whitewashed the fact that the
  3317. content of all our communications have
  3318. been stored and analyzed under the Echelon
  3319. program since the 1990s.
  3320.  
  3321.  The new details concern how, �The National
  3322. Security Agency is gathering nearly 5
  3323. billion records a day on the whereabouts
  3324. of cellphones around the world.�
  3325.  
  3326.  However, the report reveals itself to
  3327. be little more than an exercise in soft-
  3328. peddling when it claims that, �The NSA
  3329. does not target Americans� location data
  3330. by design, but the agency acquires a
  3331. substantial amount of information on
  3332. the whereabouts of domestic cellphones
  3333. �incidentally.�
  3334.  
  3335.  This notion that the NSA just accidentally
  3336. happens to record the locations of Americans
  3337. using data from their cellphones, and is
  3338. not deliberately engaging in domestic
  3339. surveillance, is yet another example of
  3340. damage control by the establishment.

  3506. � Rollingstone Describes NSA�s Influx of Money ::
  3507.  
  3508.  September 11th, which also happened to
  3509. be Drake�s first day at Fort Meade, changed
  3510. the equation. Drake explains the shift in
  3511. two ways: The first was a massive expansion
  3512. of US spying capabilities as the agency
  3513. �unchained itself from the Constitution,�
  3514. and began to spy on Americans and foreign
  3515. citizens, at home and abroad. The other
  3516. change, felt across the entire intelligence
  3517. community, was a rapid expansion of the NSA
  3518. itself.
  3519.  
  3520.  �Massive amounts of money were pumped
  3521. into the NSA after 9/11, and Congress was
  3522. saying, �How big do you want the check?��
  3523. says Drake. With virtually every agency
  3524. involved in tracking terrorists clamoring
  3525. for its SIGINT, or signals intelligence,
  3526. the NSA expanded its outposts in Texas,
  3527. Georgia, Hawaii, Colorado and Utah, as
  3528. well as listening posts abroad, and also
  3529. went on a building spree at Fort Meade,
  3530. where the NSA�s sprawling 5,000-acre
  3531. campus is now almost 10 times the size
  3532. of the Pentagon. By 2013, according to
  3533. The Washington Post, the NSA had expanded
  3534. its workforce by one-third, to about
  3535. 33,000. The number of private companies
  3536. it depended upon more than tripled during
  3537. that time.
  3538.  
  3539.  Soon, thanks to this influx of money
  3540. and the increasing reliance on the private
  3541. sector to handle even sensitive jobs,
  3542. the very heart of America�s intelligence
  3543. infrastructure was being outsourced to
  3544. contractors. �Essentially, 9/11 was a
  3545. massive jobs program, in which the ticket
  3546. you needed for the party was your clearance,�
  3547. says Drake. �And tons of people were
  3548. getting those clearances. So you had
  3549. this huge apparatus being built, and
  3550. the government was just managing it.
  3551. And in some cases, they weren�t even
  3552. doing that.� ... ...
  3553.  
  3554.  By the time Snowden joined the agency�s
  3555. workforce, the surveillance he would
  3556. later expose was becoming not just
  3557. institutionalized but very big business.
  3558. �It was around 2009, 2010 that you saw
  3559. the full flower of that massive, massive
  3560. bubble of money,� says Drake. �And people
  3561. were taking it for a ride as far as it
  3562. could go.� ... ...
  3563.  
  3564.  Prior to 2009, Snowden had considered
  3565. leaking government secrets when he was
  3566. at the CIA, but held off, he later said,
  3567. not wanting to harm agents in the field,
  3568. and hoping that Obama would reform the
  3569. system. His optimism didn�t last long.
  3570. �I watched as Obama advanced the very
  3571. policies that I thought would be reined
  3572. in,� he later said. As a result, he added,
  3573. �I got hardened.� The more Snowden saw of
  3574. the NSA�s actual business � and, particularly,
  3575. the more he read �true information,�
  3576. including a 2009 Inspector General�s report
  3577. detailing the Bush era�s warrantless-
  3578. surveillance program � the more he realized
  3579. that there were actually two governments:
  3580. the one that was elected, and the other,
  3581. secret regime, governing in the dark.
  3582. �If the highest officials in government
  3583. can break the law without fearing punishment
  3584. or even any repercussions at all, secret
  3585. powers become tremendously dangerous.�

  3600.  The Director of NSA claims Snowden stole
  3601. 200,000 documents. Allegations in Australian
  3602. press claim he stole �up to 20,000.� British
  3603. authorities accuse Snowden of stealing 58,000.
  3604. Claims are bruited in the 5 Eyes that this
  3605. is the �greatest intelligence failure since
  3606. World War 2.� High officials and ex-spies
  3607. accuse Snowden and related media of engaging
  3608. in terrorism.
  3609.  
  3610.  This suggests a counter-espionage campaign
  3611. to exaggerate Snowden�s damage, of betrayal
  3612. to his country, of aiding the enemy, of
  3613. threatening national security. It is
  3614. successfully restricting release of the

  3655. � Australian Intelligence Agency (ASD)
  3656. Swaps Bulk Metadata With the NSA ::
  3657.  
  3658.  Australia�s intelligence apparatus mines
  3659. the telecommunications data of ordinary
  3660. Australians, and hands over the material
  3661. to the US and its closest allies, according
  3662. to the latest leaked document from Edward
  3663. Snowden, partly published by the Guardian
  3664. Australia web site.
  3665.  
  3666.  The document obtained by the former US
  3667. National Security Agency (NSA) contractor
  3668. confirms that the electronic surveillance
  3669. agency, the Australian Signals Directorate
  3670. (ASD), monitors the domestic population,
  3671. as well as the people and governments of
  3672. many Asian countries.
  3673.  
  3674.  Despite Australian legislation supposedly
  3675. restricting the ASD�s internal spying,
  3676. the agency hands over to the NSA and its
  3677. global partners so-called metadata of
  3678. the phone calls, texts, emails, on-line
  3679. address books and social media posts of
  3680. millions of people.
  3681.  
  3682.  This exposure of mass surveillance follows
  3683. the recent revelations, also from documents
  3684. leaked by Snowden, that the ASD, then known
  3685. as the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD),
  3686. tapped the phone calls of Indonesian
  3687. prez Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and that
  3688. Australian embassies throughout Asia
  3689. operate as electronic listening posts
  3690. for the US-led spying network.

  3706. denounced by other media outlets for
  3707. breaching �national security� and the
  3708. �national interest.� The reaction
  3709. underscores the extent to which the
  3710. media establishment has been integrated
  3711. into the state-intelligence apparatus.
  3712.  
  3713.  On November 18, after being approached
  3714. by the Guardian with documents leaked
  3715. by former National Security Agency (NSA)
  3716. contractor Edward Snowden, the ABC
  3717. co-released the story, revealing Australian
  3718. phone tapping of Indonesian Prez Susilo
  3719. Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife and eight
  3720. senior political figures. The report
  3721. triggered a still-unresolved diplomatic
  3722. crisis for the Australian government, with
  3723. the Indonesian president suspending military
  3724. and intelligence cooperation.

  3730.  Top secret documents retrieved by US
  3731. whistleblower Edward Snowden show that
  3732. Prime Minister Stephen Harper�s dictatorship
  3733. allowed the largest American spy agency
  3734. to conduct widespread surveillance in
  3735. Canada during the 2010 G8 and G20 summits.
  3736.  
  3737.  The documents are being reported exclusively
  3738. by CBC News.
  3739.  
  3740.  The briefing notes, stamped �Top Secret,�
  3741. show the US turned its Ottawa embassy into
  3742. a security command post during a six-day
  3743. spying operation by the National Security
  3744. Agency while US Prez Barack Obama and 25
  3745. other foreign heads of government were on
  3746. Canadian soil in June of 2010.
  3747.  
  3748.  The covert US operation was no secret to
  3749. Canadian authorities. ... ...
  3750.  
  3751.  The world was still struggling to climb
  3752. out of the great recession of 2008. Leaders
  3753. were debating a wide array of possible
  3754. measures including a global tax on banks,
  3755. an idea strongly opposed by both the US
  3756. and Canadian governments. That notion was
  3757. eventually scotched.

  3794.  
  3795.  The politicians and corporate media would have Canadians
  3796. believe that they have only �moved on� from discussing
  3797. CSEC�s activities because there is nothing for Canadians
  3798. to worry about.
  3799.  
  3800.  In reality, the CSEC is a vital tool of the Canadian ruling
  3801. class that plays an important role in the pursuit of its
  3802. imperialist foreign policy and in the surveillance and
  3803. suppression of opposition at home. The size of CSEC�s
  3804. staff�it employs almost 2,000 people and a further thousand
  3805. military personnel assist its work�give an inkling of the
  3806. scale of its activities.
  3807.  
  3808.  These include everything from supporting the overseas
  3809. operations of the Canadian military, to spying on governments
  3810. that are reputed allies of Canada and assisting CSIS and the
  3811. RCMP in conducting a vast program of domestic surveillance.
  3812. Of especial importance is the CSEC�s partnership with the NSA.
  3813. According to former NSA technical director William Binney,
  3814. the two organizations �have integrated personnel� i.e. swap
  3815. personnel to improve seamless collaboration. They also share
  3816. Internet surveillance programs.
  3817.  
  3818.  As a further element of its collaboration with the Five Eyes
  3819. alliance, CSEC was relied on in the project of spying on
  3820. diplomats and officials during the 2009 London G20 meeting
  3821. according to a report in the British newspaper The Guardian,
  3822. which was based on documents supplied by Snowden. The highly
  3823. sensitive operation involved the penetration of delegates�
  3824. smartphones to monitor their email messages and calls.

  3909.  Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reporter who
  3910. published Edward Snowden�s leaks, was
  3911. recently suggested to be a criminal for
  3912. shining light on the NSA�s abuse of power.
  3913. This is a key identifiable step when societies
  3914. close down; it is a point of no return. It
  3915. seems the United States is reaching the event
  3916. horizon to a police state.

  3919.  
  3920. Cryptome noted
  3921.  
  3922.  �There have been no reports of leakage
  3923. from the insurance stashes, the publication
  3924. outlets or the various reported transmissions
  3925. among them (except for the Miranda snatch by
  3926. UKG), although there could be some which have
  3927. not been disclosed, not known, were sold or
  3928. bartered, or were stolen for future use.
  3929.  
  3930.  It is likely that intelligence and law
  3931. enforcement agencies have made stringent
  3932. efforts to access the documents by customarily
  3933. secret burglary, bribery, barter, purchase,
  3934. deception, co-optation.
  3935.  
  3936.  Those multiple persons and outlets who have
  3937. had access, or suspected of access, are
  3938. certain to have been targeted, some perhaps
  3939. successfully persuaded to cooperate with
  3940. promises of confidentiality, backed by
  3941. threats if cooperation is refused -- a
  3942. standard coercive means of authorities.
  3943.  
  3944.  While Edward Snowden is knowledgeable
  3945. about counter-espionage and likely advised
  3946. his initial correspondents, who in turn
  3947. advised successive cooperators, usually
  3948. these counter-operations are not revealed,
  3949. but hints of them are leaked to discourage
  3950. participation.
  3951.  
  3952.  Beyond that, it is customary to foment
  3953. disputes and disagreements among competing
  3954. publications, reporters, opinionators,
  3955. experts, the spying industry and consumers,
  3956. along with threats against families, friends
  3957. and employers, as now occurring, to rattle
  3958. and pressure targets to consider cooperating
  3959. with authorities, including use of rewards
  3960. -- monetary and career -- for informants.�

  4016.  
  4017.  Even though they cooperate with the US
  4018. spy agency on court-ordered surveillance,
  4019. firms like Google and Yahoo are subject to
  4020. additional surveillance they never agreed to.
  4021.  
  4022.  Web companies host copies of your data on
  4023. servers around the world, reducing the
  4024. chance of losing your information should
  4025. one fail. When you log in to an account
  4026. with these firms, the data sent between
  4027. you and their servers is encrypted, making
  4028. it difficult to snoop � but the internal
  4029. transfers between data centres are unencrypted.
  4030. And because many of the transfers take place
  4031. outside the US, approval from a FISA court
  4032. isn�t required to tap the information.
  4033.  
  4034.  The National Security Agency has secretly
  4035. broken into the main communications links
  4036. that connect Yahoo and Google data centers
  4037. around the world, according to documents
  4038. obtained from former NSA contractor Edward
  4039. Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable
  4040. officials.
  4041.  
  4042.  By tapping those links, the agency has
  4043. positioned itself to collect at will from
  4044. hundreds of millions of user accounts,
  4045. many of them belonging to Americans. The
  4046. NSA does not keep everything it collects,
  4047. but it keeps a lot.
  4048.  
  4049.  The NSA�s principal tool to exploit the
  4050. data links is a project called MUSCULAR,
  4051. operated jointly with the agency�s British
  4052. counterpart, the Government Communications
  4053. Headquarters. From undisclosed interception
  4054. points, the NSA and the GCHQ are copying
  4055. entire data flows across fiber-optic cables
  4056. that carry information among the data
  4057. centers of the Silicon Valley giants.

  4066.  
  4067.  In June, President Obama said the NSA�s
  4068. email collecting program �does not apply
  4069. to US citizens.�
  4070.  
  4071.  The National Security Agency is harvesting
  4072. hundreds of millions of contact lists from
  4073. personal e-mail and instant messaging
  4074. accounts around the world, many of them
  4075. belonging to Americans, according to
  4076. senior intelligence officials and top-secret
  4077. documents provided by former NSA contractor
  4078. Edward Snowden.
  4079.  
  4080.  The collection program, which has not
  4081. been disclosed before, intercepts e-mail
  4082. address books and �buddy lists� from
  4083. instant messaging services as they move
  4084. across global data links. Online services
  4085. often transmit those contacts when a user
  4086. logs on, composes a message, or synchronizes

  4598.  
  4599.  The magnitude of the global espionage
  4600. by the NSA.
  4601.  
  4602.  During the summer, the documents provided to the Guardian
  4603. and the Washington Post by former NSA employee Edward
  4604. Snowden helped unveil the extent of surveillance and
  4605. espionage carried out by the NSA and its allies. Le Monde
  4606. also now has access to some of these documents.
  4607.  
  4608.  Before the summer, the NSA was the most secretive intelligence
  4609. agencies of the United States. Then came Edward Snowden,
  4610. who was granted an asylum for a year in Russia. Wanting to
  4611. denounce "the largest program of arbitrary monitoring of human
  4612. history," the American working for a subcontractor of the NSA
  4613. has obtained several thousands of highly confidential documents.
  4614.  
  4615.  In early June, the first secrets of the National Security
  4616. Agency in these parts start to filter. The Guardian reveals
  4617. that the telephone operator Verizon provides NSA phone data
  4618. of several million Americans, according to a court order secret.
  4619. Then it was the turn of the Prism program to be unveiled. It
  4620. allows the US Secret Service, and first and foremost to the
  4621. NSA, to access a privileged manner, since December 2007,
  4622. data from nine major Internet companies, including Google,
  4623. Facebook and Microsoft.
  4624.  
  4625. MONITORING OF SUBMARINE CABLE
  4626.  
  4627.  A document providing internal training on Prism, which Le
  4628. Monde has also had access, how the NSA analysts can query
  4629. the databases of Web giants, research documents, emails or
  4630. instant discussions. All within a legal framework that
  4631. overcomes the request of an individual mandate. The companies
  4632. named in the documents have denied that the NSA had a direct
  4633. and unilateral access to their servers.
  4634.  
  4635.  In addition to this targeted surveillance, Snowden records
  4636. reveal another method of massive collection of the NSA called
  4637. Upstream. This system can collect data from the submarine
  4638. cable and Internet infrastructures. A logical strategy, when
  4639. we know that 99% of global communications now pass through
  4640. diving.
  4641.  
  4642.  To learn more about the context of the revelations of the
  4643. World, the editorial read : "Fight Big Brother"
  4644.  
  4645.  The British equivalent of the NSA, the Government Communications
  4646. Headquarters (GCHQ), plays a major role in this system, because
  4647. of the historical proximity of Great Britain and the United States,
  4648. confidentiality agreements and a financial dependence of those
  4649. services from London to Washington. There are also technical
  4650. reasons : a significant portion of submarine cables linking
  4651. Europe to America through Britain. With Edward Snowden, the
  4652. Tempora program , which aims to "control the Internet" by
  4653. monitoring these cables, has been revealed. "You're in an
  4654. enviable position, says a document presenting Tempora, presented
  4655. by the Guardian, have fun and pull in the best." Turning a page
  4656. of the document presenting the Prism program, we discover Upstream
  4657. relies on four programs (Blarney, Fairview, and oakstar Stormbrew)
  4658. which we know to date, the outline. Fairview, for example,
  4659. would largely on intercepted telephone conversations via the
  4660. major US carriers.
  4661.  
  4662. DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS
  4663.  
  4664.  Many tools are needed to sort the mass of intercepted data.
  4665. One of them is called XKeyscore, and its operation has been
  4666. detailed in the columns of the Guardian. The extreme precision
  4667. of the data are clear. With XKeyscore, analysts can access
  4668. the content of e-mails to a list of websites visited by their
  4669. target or the keywords entered by the latter in the search
  4670. engines.
  4671.  
  4672.  The framework for this research is not binding, as the Guardian
  4673. explained, and many Americans are data made available to agents.
  4674. According to the presentation materials, to promote the
  4675. capabilities of the tool, three hundred terrorists have been
  4676. arrested since 2008 thanks to XKeyscore.
  4677.  
  4678.  NSA and GCHQ not only devote their considerable resources
  4679. monitoring the fight against terrorism, but also to spy allies.
  4680. At the G20 summit in London in 2009, computers of diplomats
  4681. and heads of state were monitored by GCHQ, as well as some of
  4682. their phone calls. NSA, she focused on the European Union (EU),
  4683. as revealed by Der Spiegel, always on the basis of documents
  4684. Snowden. NSA has installed cookies on the premises of the EU
  4685. representation in Washington. The EU delegation to the UN in
  4686. New York, and the building of the Council of the European Union
  4687. in Brussels were also scrutinized by the US agency. Brazil is
  4688. also one of the countries affected by this intelligence. According
  4689. to Brazilian media group O Globo, its political leaders as some
  4690. companies have been targeted.
  4691.  
  4692.  The Snowden documents have informed the considerable efforts
  4693. made by the United States to start listening to Internet, in a
  4694. sometimes unclear legal framework and often away from real
  4695. democratic debate. Interviewed by Le Monde, the US authorities
  4696. have assured that the Prism program was the subject of a
  4697. parliamentary debate in the United States and was working
  4698. in a strictly regulated legal framework. Asked on September 12
  4699. revelations Snowden, James Clapper, the US Director of National
  4700. Intelligence, said: "What happened - and that is harmful - sparked
  4701. conversation and debate that it probably was necessary."

  4724. � UPDATE ; Inside America�s Plan to Kill
  4725. Online Privacy Rights Everywhere ::
  4726.  
  4727.  The United States and its key intelligence
  4728. allies are quietly working behind the scenes
  4729. to kneecap a mounting movement in the United
  4730. Nations to promote a universal human right
  4731. to online privacy, according to diplomatic
  4732. sources and an internal American government
  4733. document obtained by The Cable.
  4734.  
  4735.  The diplomatic battle is playing out in an
  4736. obscure UN General Assembly committee that
  4737. is considering a proposal by Brazil and
  4738. Germany to place constraints on unchecked
  4739. internet surveillance by the National
  4740. Security Agency and other foreign intelligence
  4741. services. American representatives have made
  4742. it clear that they won�t tolerate such
  4743. checks on their global surveillance network.
  4744. The stakes are high, particularly in
  4745. Washington -- which is seeking to contain
  4746. an international backlash against NSA
  4747. spying -- and in Brasilia, where Brazilian
  4748. President Dilma Roussef is personally
  4749. involved in monitoring the UN negotiations.

  4825.  
  4826.  David Addington, Cheney�s chief of staff,
  4827. thought that the NSA should use its
  4828. technology to intercept emails and
  4829. telephone calls sent from one domestic
  4830. terminal to another, and was upset to
  4831. learn that Hayden thought differently.
  4832. That was a line he would only cross,
  4833. deliberately, with court and congressional
  4834. approval. Addington dropped the idea,
  4835. but as we now know, the agency added
  4836. to its portfolio a mandate to monitor
  4837. suspicious communications that transited
  4838. the border of the United States, and
  4839. later began to collect reams of metadata
  4840. in order to analyze it.
  4841.  
  4842.  Hayden wasn�t being cautious just for
  4843. the record: NSA�s job was to collect
  4844. foreign intelligence � to steal stuff,
  4845. or purloin letters, real and digital,
  4846. in order to provide policymakers with a
  4847. decision advantage. The advantage the
  4848. NSA provided was accurate information
  4849. about what people who interacted with
  4850. the United States said in private about
  4851. their intentions; that gap between saying
  4852. and doing, and the ability to predict
  4853. action from it, allows the president of
  4854. the United States to stay a step ahead.
  4855.  
  4856.  It�s one thing to say that the United
  4857. States� actions don�t always match up
  4858. with the values we espouse, and that�s
  4859. true. When our hypocrisy is exposed,
  4860. our moral authority wanes and our
  4861. ability to maneuver is reduced.
  4862.  
  4863.  It�s quite another to assume that other
  4864. countries are any purer. They never have
  4865. been and probably won�t be. Many are much
  4866. purer than others, so the amount of
  4867. resources the intelligence community
  4868. devotes to harder strategic targets ought
  4869. to correspond with how honest our allies
  4870. are, or how little they deceive us. The
  4871. egg comes before the chicken: How the hell
  4872. can we figure out which allies are more
  4873. reliable if we don�t figure out the
  4874. correspondence between public and private
  4875. words and actions.
  4876.  
  4877.  Of course, Brazil, France, Germany, and
  4878. Mexico do exactly the same thing. They
  4879. want their leaders to gain a decision
  4880. advantage in the give and take between
  4881. countries. They want to know what US
  4882. policymakers will do before the Americans
  4883. do it. And in the case of Brazil and
  4884. France, they aggressively spy on the
  4885. United States, on US citizens and
  4886. politicians, in order to collect that
  4887. information. The difference lies in the
  4888. scale of intelligence collection: The
  4889. US has the most effective, most distributed,
  4890. most sophisticated intelligence community
  4891. in the West. It is Goliath. And other
  4892. countries, rightly in their mind, are
  4893. envious.

  5024.  
  5025.  Evercookie is a JavaScript-based
  5026. application created by Samy Kamkar
  5027. which produces zombie cookies in a
  5028. web browser that are intentionally
  5029. difficult to delete. ... ...
  5030.  
  5031.  An Evercookie is not merely difficult
  5032. to delete. It actively resists deletion
  5033. by copying itself in different forms on
  5034. the user�s machine and resurrecting
  5035. itself if it notices that some of the
  5036. copies are missing or expired.
  5037.  
  5038.  Specifically, when creating a new cookie,
  5039. Evercookie uses the following storage
  5040. mechanisms when available:
  5041.  
  5042. � Standard HTTP cookies
  5043. � Local Shared Objects (Flash cookies)
  5044. � Silverlight Isolated Storage
  5045. � Storing cookies in RGB values of
  5046. auto-generated, force-cached PNGs
  5047. using HTML5 Canvas tag to read pixels
  5048. (cookies) back out
  5049. � Storing cookies in Web history
  5050. � Storing cookies in HTTP ETags
  5051. � Storing cookies in Web cache

  5061.  �Just because you�re using Tor doesn�t
  5062. mean that your browser isn't storing
  5063. cookies,� said Jeremiah Grossman, a
  5064. colleague of Hansen�s who also specializes
  5065. in browser vulnerabilities.
  5066.  
  5067.  As Grossman described the procedure to
  5068. CNET, the NSA is aware of Tor�s entry
  5069. and exit nodes because of its Internet
  5070. wide surveillance.
  5071.  
  5072.  �The very feature that makes Tor a
  5073. powerful anonymity service, and the
  5074. fact that all Tor users look alike on
  5075. the Internet, makes it easy to
  5076. differentiate Tor users from other
  5077. Web users,� he wrote.
  5078.  
  5079.  �The NSA then cookies that ad, so that
  5080. every time you go to a site, the cookie
  5081. identifies you. Even though your IP
  5082. address changed [because of Tor], the
  5083. cookies gave you away,� he said.

  5122.  
  5123. � NSA ; Tor Source Code Vulnerabilities ::
  5124.  
  5125.  �We have seen several targets using Tor.
  5126. Our goal was to analyze Tor source code
  5127. and determine any vulnerabilities in
  5128. the system. We set up an internal Tor
  5129. network to analyze Tor traffic, in the
  5130. hopes of discovering ways to passively
  5131. identify it. We also worked to create
  5132. a custom Tor client which allows the
  5133. user finer control.� ... ...
  5134.  
  5135.  �This accomplishes several things.
  5136. Most basically, the Tor servers, many
  5137. of which are listed on publicly advertised
  5138. directory servers, are chosen to act as
  5139. a series of proxies. This may seem to
  5140. be excessively complex, as a single
  5141. proxy server can be used to hide one�s
  5142. location, but a single-hop proxy is
  5143. vulnerable in two ways. First, by
  5144. analyzing the pattern of the traffic
  5145. going to and from the proxy server,
  5146. it is possible to deduce which clients
  5147. are making which requests. Second, if
  5148. an attacker owns the proxy server, then
  5149. it certainly knows who is asking for what,
  5150. and anonymization is ruined. By using
  5151. multiple hops, Tor is much more resistant
  5152. to both of these attacks. Traffic analysis
  5153. becomes extraordinarily difficult, as it
  5154. must be coordinated across several machines,
  5155. and an attacker must own all the hops
  5156. along the circuit in order to trace
  5157. requests back to the originating client.�
  5158.  
  5159. ... ...
  5160.  
  5161.  �In our time in the lab, we found that
  5162. running an nmap on a node that is offering
  5163. a hidden service will turn up the port
  5164. that the hidden service is using to deal
  5165. with incoming connections. It can then be
  5166. directly connected to, outside of Tor.�
  5167.  
  5168. ... ...
  5169.  
  5170.  �We would have to try to connect to
  5171. each of the ports we see open on a
  5172. machine to determine if there is a
  5173. hidden service being run. We would not
  5174. even know which protocol the hidden
  5175. service is running. It may be an HTTP
  5176. server, an FTP server, an SMTP server,
  5177. etc. The only thing we know is that
  5178. the protocol must run over TCP. It is
  5179. not enough to attempt to connect once
  5180. to each port, using an HTTP GET request.
  5181. Several protocols must be tried.�
  5182.  
  5183. ... ...
  5184.  
  5185.  �It may also be useful to study Tor
  5186. directory servers in more detail. Our
  5187. work focused solely on the client, but
  5188. many attacks would be much easier with
  5189. access to more Tor servers. The directory
  5190. servers ultimately control which Tor
  5191. servers are used by clients. We have found
  5192. that a server can put itself on a directory
  5193. server multiple times; all it takes is the
  5194. server running several Tor processes, each
  5195. having a different nickname, open port,
  5196. fingerprint, and LOG FILE. This only
  5197. requires different configuration files
  5198. for the different processes, which are
  5199. easy to set up. That machine will handle
  5200. a disproportionate amount of traffic,
  5201. since it is listed several times. This
  5202. increases the density of friendly servers
  5203. in the cloud without increasing the number
  5204. of servers we have set up. Unfortunately,
  5205. each listing has the same IP address,
  5206. which would be very noticeable to anyone
  5207. who inspecting the directories.�

  5332. across the world is pushing to update an
  5333. influential international human rights
  5334. treaty that enshrines the right to privacy.
  5335.  
  5336. ... ...
  5337.  
  5338.  The annual conference was attended by a
  5339. diverse selection of privacy and data
  5340. protection officials from across the
  5341. world, with representatives attending
  5342. from countries including Japan, New Zealand,
  5343. France, Slovenia, Uruguay, Belgium, Ireland,
  5344. Finland, Spain, Australia, Germany, Burkina
  5345. Faso, Canada, the United States, and the
  5346. United Kingdom.
  5347.  
  5348.  During a closed session at the conference
  5349. open only to the privacy chiefs, a
  5350. resolution was put forward for a vote
  5351. on the proposal to update Article 17.
  5352. They voted overwhelmingly in favor of
  5353. the idea, recognizing a need to �create
  5354. globally applicable standards for data
  5355. protection and the protection of privacy
  5356. in accordance with the rule of law.�
  5357.  
  5358.  Notably, only one country did not approve
  5359. of the resolution ... the United States.
  5360.  
  5361.  At this point, the proposed Article 17
  5362. protocol is still a long way off. It will
  5363. eventually need to be put forward at the
  5364. United Nations and voted on by member
  5365. states, and that could take time. But
  5366. the growing appetite to amend the
  5367. international treaty in light of the
  5368. Snowden revelations is highly symbolic
  5369. if nothing else, reflecting widespread
  5370. concerns about the power of mass surveillance
  5371. technology in the digital age to trample

  5447. the PRISM programme was deployed by the American agency
  5448. to gather key information from India by tapping directly

  5563. � Corporations Worry About Long-Term Blowback of NSA
  5564. Revelations ::
  5565.  
  5566.  With all of the disturbing revelations that have come
  5567. to light in the last few weeks regarding the NSA�s
  5568. collection methods and its efforts to weaken cryptographic
  5569. protocols and security products, experts say that perhaps
  5570. the most worrisome result of all of this is that no one
  5571. knows who or what they can trust anymore.
  5572.  
  5573.  The fallout from the most-recent NSA leaks, which revealed
  5574. the agency�s ability to subvert some cryptographic standards
  5575. and its �partnerships� with software and hardware vendors
  5576. to insert backdoors into various unnamed products, has
  5577. continued to accumulate over the course of the last couple
  5578. of weeks. Cryptographers and security researchers have been
  5579. eager to determine which products and protocols are suspect,
  5580. and the discussion has veered in a lot of different directions.
  5581. But one thing that�s become clear is that when the government
  5582. lost the so-called Crypto Wars in the 1990s, the NSA didn�t
  5583. just go back to Fort Meade and tend to its knitting.
  5584.

  5586.  
  5587. � The Sky is Not Falling � It�s Fallen ::
  5588.  
  5589.  The security community didn�t invent the concept of fear,
  5590. uncertainty and doubt, but it has perfected it and raised
  5591. it to the level of religion. It�s the way that security products
  5592. are marketed and sold, but it�s also the way that the intelligence
  5593. community justifies its extra-legal and, in some cases,
  5594. unconstitutional, data-gathering practices. Just as vendors
  5595. use the specter of catastrophic hacks, data loss and public
  5596. embarrassment to push their wares, the NSA and its allies
  5597. have used the dark shadow of 9/11 and global terrorism to
  5598. justify their increasingly aggressive practices, some of which
  5599. have now been shown to have deliberately weakened some of the
  5600. fundamental building blocks of security.
  5601.  
  5602.  The most damning bit of string in this ball is the news that
  5603. the NSA likely inserted a back door into a key cryptographic
  5604. algorithm known as DUAL EC DRBG. That�s bad. What�s worse
  5605. is that RSA on Thursday sent a warning to its developer
  5606. customers warning them to immediately stop using the company�s
  5607. BSAFE library because it uses the compromised random number
  5608. generator. That means that untold numbers of products that
  5609. include the BSAFE crypto libraries are compromised.

  5613. � President Surveillance Program Review ::
  5614.  
  5615.  �The program was reauthorized by the
  5616. President approximately every 45 days,
  5617. with certain modifications. Collectively,
  5618. the activities carried out under these
  5619. Authorizations are referred to as the
  5620. �President�s Surveillance Program� or
  5621. �PSP.� One of the activities authorized
  5622. as part of the PSP was the interception of
  5623. the content of communications into and out
  5624. of the United States where there was a
  5625. reasonable basis to conclude that one
  5626. party to the communication was a member
  5627. of al-Qa�ida or related terrorist organizations.
  5628.  
  5629.  This aspect of the PSP was publicly
  5630. acknowledged and described by the President,
  5631. the Attorney General, and other Administration
  5632. officials beginning in December 2005 following
  5633. a series of articles published in The New York
  5634. Times. The Attorney General subsequently
  5635. publicly acknowledged the fact that other
  5636. intelligence activities were also authorized
  5637. under the same Presidential Authorization,
  5638. but the details of those activities remain
  5639. classified.� ... ...
  5640.  
  5641.  �Prior to September 11,2001, the Foreign
  5642. Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and
  5643. Executive Order 12333 were generally viewed
  5644. as the principal governing authorities for
  5645. conducting electronic surveillance for
  5646. national security purposes. The Foreign
  5647. Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C.
  5648. � 1801, et seq., was enacted in 1978 to
  5649. "provide legislative authorization and
  5650. regulation for all electronic surveillance
  5651. conducted within the United States for
  5652. foreign intelligence purposes."�

  5664. should be of high interest. As mentioned
  5665. on page 17, the PSP did not - �did not� -
  5666. require special approval. Therefore, just
  5667. another gap. Also take in consideration
  5668. other abuse against FISA laws, court order
  5669. to stifle FAA 702 upstream analysis, EO 12333,
  5670. and of-course NSA�s now admitted abuse -
  5671. deliberately ignoring restrictions against

  5674. � Britain�s GCHQ Hacked Belgian Telecom
  5675. Firm ::
  5676.  
  5677.  Documents from the archive of whistleblower
  5678. Edward Snowden indicate that Britain�s
  5679. GCHQ intelligence service was behind a
  5680. cyber attack against Belgacom, a partly
  5681. state-owned Belgian telecoms company.
  5682. A �top secret� Government Communications
  5683. Headquarters (GCHQ) presentation seen by
  5684. SPIEGEL indicate that the goal of project,
  5685. conducted under the codename �Operation
  5686. Socialist,� was �to enable better
  5687. exploitation of Belgacom� and to
  5688. improve understanding of the provider�s
  5689. infrastructure. ... ...
  5690.  
  5691.  According to the slides in the GCHQ
  5692. presentation, the attack was directed
  5693. at several Belgacom employees and
  5694. involved the planting of a highly
  5695. developed attack technology referred
  5696. to as a �Quantum Insert� (�QI�). It
  5697. appears to be a method with which the
  5698. person being targeted, without their
  5699. knowledge, is redirected to websites
  5700. that then plant malware on their
  5701. computers that can then manipulate
  5702. them. Some of the employees whose
  5703. computers were infiltrated had �good
  5704. access� to important parts of Belgacom�s
  5705. infrastructure, and this seemed to
  5706. please the British spies, according
  5707. to the slides.

  6002. Also Sharing Data With Israeli SIGINT
  6003. National Unit ::
  6004.  
  6005.  A copy of a top-secret deal inked
  6006. in 2009 between the NSA and the
  6007. Israeli Signals-intelligence National
  6008. Unit (ISNU) was provided by NSA
  6009. leaker Edward J. Snowden to the
  6010. Guardian newspaper, which posted
  6011. it Wednesday.
  6012.  
  6013.  It reveals that the NSA �routinely�
  6014. passed to its Israeli counterpart
  6015. raw signals intelligence, referred
  6016. to as �SIGINT,� including the vast
  6017. swathes of digital data traffic that
  6018. the agency gathers under secret court
  6019. authority from US Internet providers.
  6020.  
  6021.  So sensitive is this data that even
  6022. before being disseminated to other US
  6023. agencies, the NSA has to subject it
  6024. to a court-mandated process called
  6025. minimization, under which the names
  6026. of any Americans are removed unless
  6027. they are essential for foreign
  6028. intelligence interest.
  6029.  
  6030.  But the US-Israeli agreement states
  6031. that the data shared with Israel
  6032. �includes, but is not limited to,
  6033. unevaluated and unminimized transcripts,
  6034. gists, facsimiles, telex, voice and
  6035. Digital Network Intelligence metadata
  6036. and content.�
  6037.  
  6038.  �NSA routinely sends ISNU minimized
  6039. and unminimized raw collection associated
  6040. with selectors from multiple Target office
  6041. Primary Interest (TOPI) offices in Analysis
  6042. and Production, S2 as part of SIGINT

  6073. threat� - meanwhile we provide them with
  6074. plenty of inside information.
  6075.  
  6076.  However the NSA used cryptanalysis and
  6077. exploitation against Brazil leadership
  6078. and Brazil was never a �key target.�
  6079.  
  6080. This reminds of a quote ;
  6081.  
  6082.  �What if all secret agencies were of one
  6083. accord spiritually, like in the paintings

  7200. 100% audibility on every query that we make.
  7201. And that is overseen by our Inspector General,
  7202. our General Council. In 2009 in our
  7203. discussions with the president when he
  7204. first came on board we talked to him about
  7205. these programs and the issue was how do
  7206. we know the compliance is there and what
  7207. more could we do? We stood up working with
  7208. the committees in Congress a directorate
  7209. of compliance. This directorate of
  7210. compliance is headed by legal professionals
  7211. and information specialists that can look
  7212. at everything that we do in these programs
  7213. and ensure they (comply ?) with the court
  7214. orders but we also have oversight from
  7215. the Director of National Intelligence,

  7248. Security Agency�s collection of phone
  7249. records, including briefings to Congress
  7250. as the relevant provision of the Patriot

  7252. from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance

  7337. that he welcomes a debate about how
  7338. best to simultaneously safeguard both
  7339. our national security and the privacy
  7340. of our citizens.  The Administration
  7341. has taken various proactive steps to
  7342. advance this debate including the
  7343. President�s meeting with the Privacy
  7344. and Civil Liberties Oversight Board,
  7345. his public statements on the disclosed
  7346. programs, the Office of the Director
  7347. of National Intelligence�s release of
  7348. its own public statements, ODNI General
  7349. Counsel Bob Litt�s speech at Brookings,
  7350. and ODNI�s decision to declassify and
  7351. disclose publicly that the Administration
  7352. filed an application with the Foreign

  7354. look forward to continuing to discuss
  7355. these critical issues with the American
  7356. people and the Congress.

  7358.  However, we oppose the current effort
  7359. in the House to hastily dismantle one

  7361. counterterrorism tools. This blunt
  7362. approach is not the product of an
  7363. informed, open, or deliberative process.
  7364. We urge the House to reject the Amash
  7365. Amendment, and instead move forward
  7366. with an approach that appropriately
  7367. takes into account the need for a
  7368. reasoned review of what tools can

  7385. _______________________________________
  7386.  Yesterday, German media wrote about an
  7387. official letter from the NSA, which was
  7388. sent to the German government to clarify
  7389. some misconceptions about PRISM. This
  7390. because German media and politics were
  7391. heavily confused after it became clear
  7392. that there�s more than one program named
  7393. PRISM.
  7394.  
  7395.  The NSA letter explains what the PRISM
  7396. data collection program is about and
  7397. then confirms that this program is
  7398. different from a more common military
  7399. web tool called "Planning tool for
  7400. Resource Integration, Synchronization
  7401. and Management" (PRISM).
  7402.  
  7403.  Surprisingly, the NSA also reveals that
  7404. there�s even a third program called
  7405. PRISM. In this case the name stands
  7406. for �Portal for Real-time Information
  7407. Sharing and Management� and it�s
  7408. apparently an internal NSA information
  7409. sharing program. It was unknown until
  7410. now, probably because it�s used in the
  7411. NSA�s highly sensitive Information
  7412. Assurance Directorate (IAD). ... ...
  7413.  
  7414.  Here�s a short summary of all three
  7415. different PRISM programs:
  7416.  
  7417. 1. PRISM
  7418.  
  7419.  This is a codeword for an NSA project
  7420. of collecting information about foreign
  7421. targets from data of nine major US
  7422. internet companies. This program started
  7423. in 2007 and was unveiled by Edward Snowden
  7424. in June 2013.
  7425.  
  7426. 2. Planning tool for Resource Integration,
  7427. Synchronization and Management (PRISM)
  7428.  
  7429.  This is a web tool used by US military
  7430. intelligence to send tasking instructions
  7431. to data collection platforms deployed to
  7432. military operations. This program is
  7433. not very secret and was first mentioned
  7434. in 2002.
  7435.  
  7436. 3. Portal for Real-time Information
  7437. Sharing and Management (PRISM)
  7438.  
  7439.  This is an internal NSA program for
  7440. real-time sharing of information,
  7441. apparently in the NSA�s Information
  7442. Assurance Directorate. Its existance
  7443. was revealed by the NSA in July 2013.

  7447. � Three Different PRISM Programs? German
  7448. Parliament Seeks Clarity in NSA Scandal ::
  7449.  
  7450.  A Thursday meeting in German parliament
  7451. was supposed to shed light on NSA
  7452. surveillance activities in Germany.
  7453. It only added to the mystery. A US
  7454. response to a Berlin inquiry claims
  7455. that there are actually three unrelated
  7456. Prism programs. ... ...
  7457.  
  7458.  In addition to testimony from Schindler
  7459. and Maassen, officials also read a
  7460. written statement from the NSA in
  7461. response to a query from the German
  7462. government. According to the statement,
  7463. there are three separate Prism programs,
  7464. all of them unconnected to each other.
  7465. Meeting participants say the NSA response
  7466. said that one of the Prism programs was
  7467. only used internally. That program had
  7468. thus far remained secret. Another of
  7469. the programs was used by the Pentagon
  7470. in Afghanistan. Yet another NSA tool
  7471. -- vaguely described in the statement
  7472. and allegedly �totally unrelated to the
  7473. first� -- carries the name PRISM and
  7474. �tracks and queries requests pertaining
  7475. to our Information Assurance Directorate.�
  7476.

  7478.  
  7479. NOBODY comments
  7480.  
  7481.  The snapshot of the PRISM input tool
  7482. posted on electrospaces blogspot must
  7483. have been from the Pentagon�s PRISM.

  7571. � Minute Details of How the NSA Installs
  7572. Their Surveillance Equipment ::
  7573.  
  7574.  Pete Ashdown, the CEO of XMission, detailed
  7575. his experience when he received a Foreign
  7576. Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant
  7577. in 2010 which forced him to allow the
  7578. federal government to monitor a customer
  7579. of his.
  7580.  
  7581.  Of course, like all FISA orders, it also
  7582. contained a broad gag order, which still
  7583. prevents him from telling all the details.
  7584.  
  7585.  �The FISA request was a tricky one, because
  7586. it was a warrant through the FISA court �
  7587. whether you believe that is legitimate or
  7588. not,� Ashdown wrote.
  7589.  
  7590.  He had to help the agents �set up a
  7591. duplicate port to tap in to monitor that
  7592. customer�s traffic. It was a 2U (two-unit)
  7593. PC that we ran a mirrored ethernet port to.�
  7594.  
  7595.  Ashdown eventually had a box in his
  7596. facility that was capturing all of the
  7597. traffic sent to his customer. He did not
  7598. remember if it was connected to the internet,
  7599. but wrote that it was likely capturing
  7600. all data to a hard drive for later analysis.

  7612. � NSA Admits They Snoop Targets� Contacts�
  7613. Contacts� Contacts (3 Hops) ::
  7614.  
  7615.  As an aside during testimony on Capitol
  7616. Hill today, a National Security Agency
  7617. representative rather casually indicated
  7618. that the government looks at data from
  7619. a universe of far, far more people than
  7620. previously indicated.
  7621.  
  7622.  Chris Inglis, the agency�s deputy director,
  7623. was one of several government representatives
  7624. �including from the FBI and the office of
  7625. the Director of National Intelligence�
  7626. testifying before the House Judiciary
  7627. Committee this morning. Most of the testimony
  7628. largely echoed previous testimony by the
  7629. agencies on the topic of the government�s
  7630. surveillance, including a retread of the
  7631. same offered examples for how the Patriot
  7632. Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
  7633. Act had stopped terror events.
  7634.  
  7635.  But Inglis� statement was new. Analysts
  7636. look �two or three hops� from terror
  7637. suspects when evaluating terror activity,
  7638. Inglis revealed. Previously, the limit of
  7639. how surveillance was extended had been
  7640. described as two hops. This meant that
  7641. if the NSA were following a phone metadata
  7642. or web trail from a terror suspect, it
  7643. could also look at the calls from the
  7644. people that suspect has spoken with one
  7645. hop. And then, the calls that second person
  7646. had also spoken with two hops. Terror suspect
  7647. to person two to person three. Two hops.
  7648. And now: A third hop. ... ...
  7649.  
  7650. So all of your friends, that�s one hop.
  7651.  
  7652.  Your friends� friends, whether you know
  7653. them or not - two hops.
  7654.  
  7655.  Your friends� friends� friends, whoever

  7683. applied for asylum in Russia and, as a
  7684. condition, agreed to stop �harming� the
  7685. US, according to a Russian lawyer who

  7828. � Edward Snowden�s WikiLeaks Statement ::
  7829.  
  7830.  �One week ago I left Hong Kong after
  7831. it became clear that my freedom and
  7832. safety were under threat for revealing
  7833. the truth. My continued liberty has been
  7834. owed to the efforts of friends new and
  7835. old, family, and others who I have never
  7836. met and probably never will. I trusted
  7837. them with my life and they returned that
  7838. trust with a faith in me for which I will
  7839. always be thankful.
  7840.  
  7841.  On Thursday, President Obama declared
  7842. before the world that he would not permit
  7843. any diplomatic �wheeling and dealing� over
  7844. my case. Yet now it is being reported that
  7845. after promising not to do so, the President
  7846. ordered his Vice President to pressure the
  7847. leaders of nations from which I have
  7848. requested protection to deny my asylum
  7849. petitions.
  7850.  
  7851.  This kind of deception from a world leader
  7852. is not justice, and neither is the extralegal
  7853. penalty of exile. These are the old, bad
  7854. tools of political aggression. Their purpose
  7855. is to frighten, not me, but those who would
  7856. come after me.
  7857.  
  7858.  For decades the United States of America
  7859. have been one of the strongest defenders
  7860. of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly,
  7861. this right, laid out and voted for by the
  7862. US in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration
  7863. of Human Rights, is now being rejected by
  7864. the current government of my country. The
  7865. Obama administration has now adopted the
  7866. strategy of using citizenship as a weapon.
  7867. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has
  7868. unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving
  7869. me a stateless person. Without any judicial
  7870. order, the administration now seeks to stop
  7871. me exercising a basic right. A right that
  7872. belongs to everybody. The right to seek
  7873. asylum.
  7874.  
  7875.  In the end the Obama administration is
  7876. not afraid of whistleblowers like me,
  7877. Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are
  7878. stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No,
  7879. the Obama administration is afraid of you.
  7880. It is afraid of an informed, angry public
  7881. demanding the constitutional government
  7882. it was promised � and it should be.
  7883.  
  7884.  I am unbowed in my convictions and
  7885. impressed at the efforts taken by so
  7886. many.�

  7919. over private data to America.
  7920.  
  7921.  Germany among countries offering intelligence
  7922. according to new claims by former US defence
  7923. analyst.
  7924.  
  7925.  At least six European Union countries in
  7926. addition to Britain have been colluding
  7927. with the US over the mass harvesting of
  7928. personal communications data, according
  7929. to a former contractor to America�s
  7930. National Security Agency, who said the
  7931. public should not be �kept in the dark.�
  7932.  
  7933.  Wayne Madsen, a former US navy lieutenant
  7934. who first worked for the NSA in 1985
  7935. and over the next 12 years held several
  7936. sensitive positions within the agency,
  7937. names Denmark, the Netherlands, France,
  7938. Germany, Spain and Italy as having secret
  7939. deals with the US.
  7940.  
  7941.  Madsen said the countries had �formal
  7942. second and third party status� under
  7943. signal intelligence (sigint) agreements
  7944. that compels them to hand over data,
  7945. including mobile phone and internet
  7946. information to the NSA if requested.
  7947.  
  7948.  Under international intelligence agreements,
  7949. confirmed by declassified documents,
  7950. nations are categorised by the US according
  7951. to their trust level. The US is first party
  7952. while the UK, Canada, Australia and New
  7953. Zealand enjoy second party relationships.
  7954. Germany and France have third party
  7955. relationships.
  7956.  
  7957.  In an interview published last night
  7958. on the PrivacySurgeon.org blog, Madsen,
  7959. who has been attacked for holding
  7960. controversial views on espionage issues,
  7961. said he had decided to speak out after
  7962. becoming concerned about the �half story�
  7963. told by EU politicians regarding the
  7964. extent of the NSA�s activities in Europe.
  7965.  
  7966.  He said that under the agreements,
  7967. which were drawn up after the second
  7968. world war, the �NSA gets the lion�s
  7969. share� of the sigint �take.� In return,
  7970. the third parties to the NSA agreements
  7971. received �highly sanitised intelligence.�
  7972.  
  7973.  Madsen said he was alarmed at the
  7974. �sanctimonious outcry� of political
  7975. leaders who were �feigning shock�
  7976. about the spying operations while staying
  7977. silent about their own arrangements
  7978. with the US, and was particularly
  7979. concerned that senior German politicians
  7980. had accused the UK of spying when their
  7981. country had a similar third-party deal
  7982. with the NSA.
  7983.  
  7984.  Although the level of co-operation provided
  7985. by other European countries to the NSA is
  7986. not on the same scale as that provided by
  7987. the UK, the allegations are potentially
  7988. embarrassing.
  7989.  
  7990.  �I can�t understand how Angela Merkel can
  7991. keep a straight face, demanding assurances
  7992. from [Barack] Obama and the UK while Germany
  7993. has entered into those exact relationships,�
  7994. Madsen said.
  7995.  
  7996.  The Liberal Democrat MEP Baroness Ludford,
  7997. a senior member of the European parliament�s
  7998. civil liberties, justice and home affairs
  7999. committee, said Madsen�s allegations
  8000. confirmed that the entire system for
  8001. monitoring data interception was a mess,
  8002. because the EU was unable to intervene
  8003. in intelligence matters, which remained
  8004. the exclusive concern of national
  8005. governments.
  8006.  
  8007.  �The intelligence agencies are exploiting
  8008. these contradictions and no one is really
  8009. holding them to account,� Ludford said.
  8010. �It�s terribly undermining to liberal
  8011. democracy.�
  8012.  
  8013.  Madsen�s disclosures have prompted calls
  8014. for European governments to come clean
  8015. on their arrangements with the NSA.
  8016. �There needs to be transparency as to
  8017. whether or not it is legal for the US
  8018. or any other security service to
  8019. interrogate private material,� said
  8020. John Cooper QC, a leading international
  8021. human rights lawyer. �The problem here
  8022. is that none of these arrangements has
  8023. been debated in any democratic arena.
  8024. I agree with William Hague that sometimes
  8025. things have to be done in secret, but you
  8026. don�t break the law in secret.�
  8027.  
  8028.  Madsen said all seven European countries
  8029. and the US have access to the Tat 14
  8030. fibre-optic cable network running between
  8031. Denmark and Germany, the Netherlands,
  8032. France, the UK and the US, allowing them
  8033. to intercept vast amounts of data,
  8034. including phone calls, emails and records
  8035. of users� access to websites.
  8036.  
  8037.  He said the public needed to be made
  8038. aware of the full scale of the communication
  8039. -sharing arrangements between European
  8040. countries and the US, which predate the
  8041. internet and became of strategic importance
  8042. during the cold war.
  8043.  
  8044.  The covert relationship between the
  8045. countries was first outlined in a 2001
  8046. report by the European parliament, but
  8047. their explicit connection with the NSA
  8048. was not publicised until Madsen decided
  8049. to speak out.
  8050.  
  8051.  The European parliament�s report followed
  8052. revelations that the NSA was conducting a
  8053. global intelligence-gathering operation,
  8054. known as Echelon, which appears to have
  8055. established the framework for European
  8056. member states to collaborate with the US.
  8057.  
  8058.  �A lot of this information isn�t secret,
  8059. nor is it new,� Madsen said. �It�s just
  8060. that governments have chosen to keep the
  8061. public in the dark about it. The days
  8062. when they could get away with a conspiracy
  8063. of silence are over.�
  8064.  
  8065.  This month another former NSA contractor,
  8066. Edward Snowden, revealed to the Guardian
  8067. previously undisclosed US programmes to
  8068. monitor telephone and internet traffic.
  8069. The NSA is alleged to have shared some of
  8070. its data, gathered using a specialist tool
  8071. called Prism, with Britain�s GCHQ.

  8074. Talks About Global SIGINT Interception ::
  8075.  
  8076.  A former contractor to the US National
  8077. Security Agency (NSA) has told the
  8078. Privacy Surgeon that communications
  8079. intelligence arrangements between the
  8080. US and Europe are much more �complex,
  8081. murky and far reaching� than the public
  8082. has been led to believe. ...
  8083.  
  8084.  He was particularly concerned about the
  8085. �sanctimonious outcry� of political leaders
  8086. who were �feigning shock� about recently
  8087. disclosed spying operations such as PRISM
  8088. while staying silent about their own role
  8089. in global interception arrangements with
  8090. the United States. ...
  8091.  
  8092.  Madsen also expressed anger over the
  8093. NSA�s hypocrisy over Edward Snowden.
  8094.  
  8095.  �Snowden is being roundly condemned by
  8096. many who say he had no authority or right
  8097. to provide the public with details of
  8098. NSA snooping. But what right or authority
  8099. did NSA director, General Keith Alexander,
  8100. have to provide information on NSA
  8101. surveillance at five meetings of the
  8102. global Bilderberg Conference � two in
  8103. Virginia and one meeting each in Greece,
  8104. Spain and Switzerland?�
  8105.  
  8106.  �Alexander claims he is protecting the
  8107. American people from a constantly changing
  8108. number of terrorist attacks. In fact, he
  8109. is providing information to elites on
  8110. the methods NSA uses to spy on labor,
  8111. student, religious and progressive
  8112. organizations.�
  8113.  
  8114.  �When Alexander leaks to the elites,
  8115. he�s thanked. When Snowden does it,
  8116. he�s called a traitor and a coward.�
