� NSA Documents Expose NSA�s Digital Arms Race for Cyber Warfare ::
  
 The NSA�s mass surveillance is just the beginning. Documents from
Edward Snowden show that the intelligence agency is arming America
for future digital wars -- a struggle for control of the Internet
that is already well underway.
  
 Normally, internship applicants need to have polished resumes,
with volunteer work on social projects considered a plus. But at
Politerain, the job posting calls for candidates with significantly
different skill sets. We are, the ad says, �looking for interns who
want to break things.�
  
 Politerain is not a project associated with a conventional company.
It is run by a US government intelligence organization, the National
Security Agency (NSA). More precisely, it�s operated by the NSA�s
digital snipers with Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the department
responsible for breaking into computers.
  
 Potential interns are also told that research into third party
computers might include plans to �remotely degrade or destroy
opponent computers, routers, servers and network enabled devices
by attacking the hardware.� Using a program called Passionatepolka,
for example, they may be asked to �remotely brick network cards."
With programs like Berserkr they would implant �persistent backdoors�
and �parasitic drivers.� Using another piece of software called
Barnfire, they would �erase the BIOS on a brand of servers that
act as a backbone to many rival governments.�
  
 An intern�s tasks might also include remotely destroying the
functionality of hard drives. Ultimately, the goal of the internship
program was �developing an attacker�s mindset.�
  
 The internship listing is eight years old, but the attacker�s mindset
has since become a kind of doctrine for the NSA�s data spies. And the
intelligence service isn�t just trying to achieve mass surveillance
of Internet communication, either. The digital spies of the Five Eyes
alliance -- comprised of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand -- want more.

� Prying Eyes: Inside the NSA�s War on Internet Security ::
  
 US and British intelligence agencies undertake every effort imaginable
to crack all types of encrypted Internet communication. The cloud, it
seems, is full of holes. The good news: New Snowden documents show that
some forms of encryption still cause problems for the NSA. ... ...
  
 As one document from the Snowden archive shows, the NSA had been
unsuccessful in attempts to decrypt several communications protocols,
at least as of 2012. An NSA presentation for a conference that took
place that year lists the encryption programs the Americans failed to
crack. In the process, the NSA cryptologists divided their targets
into five levels corresponding to the degree of the difficulty of the
attack and the outcome, ranging from �trivial� to �catastrophic.�
  
 Monitoring a document�s path through the Internet is classified as
�trivial.� Recording Facebook chats is considered a �minor� task,
while the level of difficulty involved in decrypting emails sent
through Moscow-based Internet service provider mail.ru is considered
�moderate.� Still, all three of those classifications don�t appear to
pose any significant problems for the NSA.
  
 Things first become troublesome at the fourth level. The presentation
states that the NSA encounters �major� problems in its attempts to
decrypt messages sent through heavily encrypted email service providers
like Zoho or in monitoring users of the Tor network, which was
developed for surfing the web anonymously. Tor, otherwise known as
The Onion Router, is free and open source software that allows users
to surf the web through a network of more than 6,000 linked volunteer
computers. The software automatically encrypts data in a way that
ensures that no single computer in the network has all of a user�s
information. For surveillance experts, it becomes very difficult to
trace the whereabouts of a person who visits a particular website or
to attack a specific person while they are using Tor to surf the Web.
  
 The NSA also has �major� problems with Truecrypt, a program for
encrypting files on computers. Truecrypt�s developers stopped their
work on the program last May, prompting speculation about pressures
from government agencies. A protocol called Off-the-Record (OTR) for
encrypting instant messaging in an end-to-end encryption process also
seems to cause the NSA major problems. Both are programs whose source
code can be viewed, modified, shared and used by anyone. Experts agree
it is far more difficult for intelligence agencies to manipulate open
source software programs than many of the closed systems developed by
companies like Apple and Microsoft. Since anyone can view free and
open source software, it becomes difficult to insert secret back doors
without it being noticed. Transcripts of intercepted chats using OTR
encryption handed over to the intelligence agency by a partner in
Prism -- an NSA program that accesses data from at least nine American
internet companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple -- show that
the NSA�s efforts appear to have been thwarted in these cases: �No
decrypt available for this OTR message.� This shows that OTR at least
sometimes makes communications impossible to read for the NSA.
  
 Things become �catastrophic� for the NSA at level five - when, for
example, a subject uses a combination of Tor, another anonymization
service, the instant messaging system CSpace and a system for Internet
telephony (voice over IP) called ZRTP. This type of combination results
in a �near-total loss/lack of insight to target communications, presence,�
the NSA document states.
  
 ZRTP, which is used to securely encrypt conversations and text chats
on mobile phones, is used in free and open source programs like RedPhone
and Signal. �It�s satisfying to know that the NSA considers encrypted
communication from our apps to be truly opaque,� says RedPhone developer
Moxie Marlinspike.

 Codenamed AURORAGOLD, the covert operation has monitored the content of
messages sent and received by more than 1,200 email accounts associated
with major cellphone network operators, intercepting confidential company
planning papers that help the NSA hack into phone networks.
  
 One high-profile surveillance target is the GSM Association, an influential
UK-headquartered trade group that works closely with large US-based firms
including Microsoft, Facebook, AT&T, and Cisco, and is currently being
funded by the US government to develop privacy-enhancing technologies.
  
 Karsten Nohl, a leading cellphone security expert and cryptographer who
was consulted by The Intercept about details contained in the AURORAGOLD
documents, said that the broad scope of information swept up in the operation
appears aimed at ensuring virtually every cellphone network in the world is
NSA accessible.

� Germany�s Intelligence Agency, the BND, Spies On Civilians Too ::
  
 German MPs examining the surveillance activities the US National
Security Agency have found a legal loophole that allows the Berlin�s
foreign intelligence agency to spy on its own citizens.
  
 The agency, known by its German acronym BND, is not usually allowed
to intercept communications made by Germans or German companies, but a
former BND lawyer told parliament this week that citizens working abroad
for foreign companies were not protected.
  
 The German government confirmed on Saturday that work-related calls
or emails were attributed to the employer. As a result, if the employer
is foreign, the BND could legally intercept them.
  
 Angela Merkel pretends to be outraged about industrial espionage by
the NSA while condoning illegal surveillance itself.

� How Vodafone-Subsidiary Telecom Aided GCHQ�s Spying Efforts ::
  
 Previously unpublished documents show how the UK telecom firm Cable
& Wireless, acquired by Vodafone in 2012, played a key role in
establishing one of the Government Communications Headquarters�
(GCHQ) most controversial surveillance programs.
  
 A joint investigation by NDR, WDR, S�ddeutsche Zeitung and Channel 4
based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, reveals
that Cable & Wireless actively shaped and provided the most data to
GCHQ mass surveillance programs, and received millions of pounds in
compensation. The documents also suggest that Cable & Wireless
assisted GCHQ in breaking into a competitor�s network.
  
 In response to these allegations, Vodafone said that an internal
investigation found no evidence of unlawful conduct, but the company
would not deny it happened.

� The German Operation Eikonal Part of NSA�s RAMPART-A Program ::
  
 Just over a week ago, the regional German paper S�ddeutsche Zeitung
and the regional broadcasters NDR and WDR came with a story saying that
between 2004 and 2008, the German foreign intelligence service BND had
tapped into the Frankfurt internet exchange DE-CIX and shared the
intercepted data with the NSA. As not all communications of German
citizens could be filtered out, this is considered a violation of the
constitution.
  
 Here we will give a summary of what is currently known about this BND
operation and we will combine this with information from earlier reports.
This will show that it was most likely part of the RAMPART-A program of
the NSA, which includes similar interception efforts by foreign partner
agencies. Finally, we will look at where exactly the BND interception
might have taken place.

� Core Secrets: NSA Saboteurs in China and Germany
  
 The National Security Agency has had agents in China, Germany,
and South Korea working on programs that use �physical subversion�
to infiltrate and compromise networks and devices, according to
documents obtained by The Intercept.
  
 The documents, leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, also
indicate that the agency has used �under cover� operatives to gain
access to sensitive data and systems in the global communications
industry, and that these secret agents may have even dealt with
American firms. The documents describe a range of clandestine field
activities that are among the agency�s �core secrets� when it comes
to computer network attacks, details of which are apparently shared
with only a small number of officials outside the NSA.
  
 �It�s something that many people have been wondering about for a
long time,� said Chris Soghoian, principal technologist for the
American Civil Liberties Union, after reviewing the documents.
�I�ve had conversations with executives at tech companies about
this precise thing. How do you know the NSA is not sending people
into your data centers?�
  
 Previous disclosures about the NSA�s corporate partnerships have
focused largely on US companies providing the agency with vast amounts
of customer data, including phone records and email traffic. But
documents published today by The Intercept suggest that even as the
agency uses secret operatives to penetrate them, companies have also
cooperated more broadly to undermine the physical infrastructure of
the internet than has been previously confirmed.
  
 In addition to so-called �close access� operations, the NSA�s �core
secrets� include the fact that the agency works with US and foreign
companies to weaken their encryption systems; the fact that the NSA
spends �hundreds of millions of dollars� on technology to defeat
commercial encryption; and the fact that the agency works with US
and foreign companies to penetrate computer networks, possibly without
the knowledge of the host countries. Many of the NSA�s core secrets
concern its relationships to domestic and foreign corporations.
  
 Some of the documents in this article appear in a new documentary,
CITIZENFOUR, which tells the story of the Snowden disclosures and is
directed by Intercept co-founder Laura Poitras. The documents describe
a panoply of programs classified with the rare designation of
�Exceptionally Compartmented Information,� or ECI, which are only
disclosed to a �very select� number of government officials.

http://www.infowars.com/cointelrpo-revisited-greenwald-exposes-nsa-agenda-to-destroy-journalists/
  
 One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the
Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting
to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of
deception and reputation-destruction. It�s time to tell a chunk of
that story, complete with the relevant documents.
  
 Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a
series of articles about �dirty trick� tactics used by GCHQ�s previously
secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These
were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA
and the other three partners in the English-speaking �Five Eyes�
alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new
JTRIG document, in full, entitled �The Art of Deception: Training
for Online Covert Operations.�

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

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/04/04/cuban-twitter-scam-social-media-tool-disseminating-government-propaganda/
  
 This week, the Associated Press exposed a secret
program run by the US Agency for International
Development to create �a Twitter-like Cuban
communications network� run through �secret shell
companies� in order to create the false appearance
of being a privately owned operation. Unbeknownst
to the service�s Cuban users was the fact that
�American contractors were gathering their private
data in the hope that it might be used for political
purposes��specifically, to manipulate those users
in order to foment dissent in Cuba and subvert its
government. According to top-secret documents
published today by The Intercept, this sort of
operation is frequently discussed at western
intelligence agencies, which have plotted ways to
covertly use social media for �propaganda,� �deception,�
�mass messaging,� and �pushing stories.� ...

http://cryptome.org/2014/04/gchq-full-spectrum-cyber.pdf
  
 ... The annual SIGDEV conference, according to one
NSA document published today by The Intercept, �enables
unprecedented visibility of SIGINT Development activities
from across the Extended Enterprise, Second Party and US
Intelligence communities.� The 2009 Conference, held at
Fort Meade, included �eighty-six representatives from
the wider US Intelligence Community, covering agencies
as diverse as CIA (a record 50 participants), the Air
Force Research Laboratory and the National Air and
Space Intelligence Center.�
  
 Defenders of surveillance agencies have often insinuated
that such proposals are nothing more than pipe dreams
and wishful thinking on the part of intelligence agents.
But these documents are not merely proposals or hypothetical
scenarios. As described by the NSA document published
today, the purpose of SIGDEV presentations is �to
synchronize discovery efforts, share breakthroughs,
and swap knowledge on the art of analysis.�
  
 For instance: One of the programs described by the newly
released GCHQ document is dubbed �Royal Concierge,� under
which the British agency intercepts email confirmations
of hotel reservations to enable it to subject hotel
guests to electronic monitoring. It also contemplates
how to �influence the hotel choice� of travelers and
to determine whether they stay at �SIGINT friendly�
hotels. The document asks: �Can we influence the hotel
choice? Can we cancel their visit?� ...

 The documents from the GCHQ (the British equivalent
of the NSA), titled �The Art of Deception: Training
for Online Covert Operations,� were given to the
NSA and leaked by Snowden. They reveal that the
GCHQ is involved, through a unit known as JTRIG
(Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group), in
�the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the
targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS
attacks they accuse �hacktivists� of using, the
use of honey traps (luring people into compromising
situations using sex) and destructive viruses.�
  
 The goals of the JTRIG program are �(1) to inject
all sorts of false material onto the internet in
order to destroy the reputation of its targets;
and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques
to manipulate online discourse and activism to
generate outcomes it considers desirable.�

? FLASHBACK! Snowden Strikes Back at NSA, Emails NBC News ::
  
 Fugitive Edward Snowden on Friday challenged the
NSA�s insistence that it has no evidence he tried
to raise concerns about the agency�s surveillance
activity before he began leaking government documents
to reporters, calling the response a �clearly tailored
and incomplete leak ... for a political advantage.�
  
 �The NSA�s new discovery of written contact between
me and its lawyers -- after more than a year of denying
any such contact existed - raises serious concerns,�
Snowden said in an email Friday to NBC News. �It
reveals as false the NSA�s claim to Barton Gellman
of the Washington Post in December of last year, that
�after extensive investigation, including interviews
with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we
have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden�s
contention that he brought these matters to anyone�s
attention.��
  
 Snowden�s email followed Thursday�s release by the US
Office of the Director of Intelligence of an email
exchange between Snowden and the NSA�s Office of the
General Counsel. The Washington Post received and
published a similar response from Snowden on Thursday.

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

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

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

 It is one of the most sensitive secrets of the NSA,
the engine of the global monitoring machine: the source
code of the XKeyscore program, the most comprehensive
Aussp�hprogramm of US foreign intelligence.
  
 NDR and WDR have excerpts of the source code. Parts of
the collection infrastructure ie, so-called software rules
that define the intelligence, what or who they want to
investigate.
  
 There are only a few numbers and characters to string
together the programmer. But when the program executes
XKeyscore these rules, get people and their data in their
sights. The connections from computers to the Internet
are identified and stored in a database type. The users
are quasi marked. It is the dragnet of the 21st century.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/nsa-gchq-attack-tor-network-encryption
  
� NSA ; Tor Source Code Vulnerabilities ::
  
 �We have seen several targets using Tor. Our goal was to
analyze Tor source code and determine any vulnerabilities
in the system. We set up an internal Tor network to analyze
Tor traffic, in the hopes of discovering ways to passively
identify it. We also worked to create a custom Tor client
which allows the user finer control.� ... ...
  
 �This accomplishes several things. Most basically, the Tor
servers, many of which are listed on publicly advertised
directory servers, are chosen to act as a series of proxies.
This may seem to be excessively complex, as a single proxy
server can be used to hide one�s location, but a single-hop
proxy is vulnerable in two ways. First, by analyzing the
pattern of the traffic going to and from the proxy server,
it is possible to deduce which clients are making which requests.
Second, if an attacker owns the proxy server, then it certainly
knows who is asking for what, and anonymization is ruined. By
using multiple hops, Tor is much more resistant to both of
these attacks. Traffic analysis becomes extraordinarily
difficult, as it must be coordinated across several machines,
and an attacker must own all the hops along the circuit in
order to trace requests back to the originating client.�
  
... ...
  
 �In our time in the lab, we found that running an nmap on a
node that is offering a hidden service will turn up the port
that the hidden service is using to deal with incoming
connections. It can then be directly connected to, outside
of Tor.�
  
... ...
  
 �We would have to try to connect to each of the ports we see
open on a machine to determine if there is a hidden service
being run. We would not even know which protocol the hidden
service is running. It may be an HTTP server, an FTP server,
an SMTP server, etc. The only thing we know is that the protocol
must run over TCP. It is not enough to attempt to connect once
to each port, using an HTTP GET request. Several protocols must
be tried.�
  
... ...
  
 �It may also be useful to study Tor directory servers in more
detail. Our work focused solely on the client, but many attacks
would be much easier with access to more Tor servers. The
directory servers ultimately control which Tor servers are
used by clients. We have found that a server can put itself on
a directory server multiple times; all it takes is the server
running several Tor processes, each having a different nickname,
open port, fingerprint, and LOG FILE. This only requires different
configuration files for the different processes, which are easy
to set up. That machine will handle a disproportionate amount of
traffic, since it is listed several times. This increases the
density of friendly servers in the cloud without increasing the
number of servers we have set up. Unfortunately, each listing
has the same IP address, which would be very noticeable to anyone
who inspecting the directories.�

investment. I�d expect there are other programs with more

� UPDATE ; German CIA Agent Arrested ::
  
http://cryptocomb.org/?p=869
  
� UPDATE ; Der Spiegel Exposed Spy Scandle Between US-Germany, ;
Angela Merkel Plans to Scrap No-spy Agreement with US-Britain ::
  
 A new surveillance scandal is threatening to unsettle US-German
relations after it emerged that an employee of Germany�s
intelligence agency has been arrested under suspicion of acting
as a double agent for the US.
  
 According to several reports in the German media, a 31-year-old
member of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) administration
department in Pullach was on Wednesday arrested by the country�s
federal prosecutor, originally under suspicion of passing on
information to Russian intelligence services. ... ...
  
 The plan is in response to the scandal resulting from last
week�s arrest of a 31-year-old BND �double agent� who spent
at least two years selling top-secret German intelligence
documents to his US spymasters in return for cash payments
of �10,000 (�7,940) per document. ...
  
 The double agent is reported to have simply emailed Berlin�s
American embassy and asked whether officials were interested
in �co-operation�. He subsequently downloaded at least 300
secret documents on to USB sticks that he handed to his
American spymasters at secret location in Austria.
  
 He was caught by German counter-espionage agents only after
he was found offering similar BND documents to Berlin�s Russian
embassy. The Germans had considered it �impossible� that one
of their own intelligence men could be working as a �double agent�
for the Americans.

� NSA Whistleblower Russel Tice Reveals NSA Has
Documents �Above Top Secret� and Many Are Burned
After Covert Operations, Routinely ::
  
 �Think of it this way. Remember I told you about the
NSA doing everything they could to make sure that the
information from 40 years ago � from spying on Frank
Church and Lord knows how many other Congressman that
they were spying on � was hidden?
  
 Now do you think they�re going to put that information
into Powerpoint slides that are easy to explain to
everybody what they�re doing?
  
 They would not even put their own NSA designators on
the reports [so that no one would know that] it came
from the NSA. They made the reports look like they were
Humint (human intelligence) reports. They did it to
hide the fact that they were NSA and they were doing
the collection. That�s 40 years ago. [The NSA and other
agencies are still doing "parallel construction",
"laundering" information to hide the fact that the
information is actually from mass NSA surveillance.]
  
 Now, what NSA is doing right now is that they�re taking
the information and they�re putting it in a much higher
security level. It�s called �ECI� � Exceptionally Controlled
Information � and it�s called the black program � which I
was a specialist in, by the way.
  
 I specialized in black world � DOD and IC (Intelligence
Community) � programs, operations and missions � in �VRKs�,
�ECIs�, and �SAPs�, �STOs�. SAP equals Special Access
Program. It�s highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access
to these. STO equals Special Technical Operations It�s
highly unlikely Mr. Snowden had any access to these.
  
 Now in that world � the ECI/VRK world � everything in that
system is classified at a higher level and it has its own
computer systems that house it. It�s totally separate than
the system which Mr. Snowden was privy to, which was called
the �JWICS�: Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications
System. The JWICS system is what everybody at NSA has access
to. Mr Snowden had Sys Admin [systems administrator] authority
for the JWICS.
  
 And you still have to have TS/SCI clearance [i.e. Top Secret/
Sensitive Compartmented Information - also known as �code word�
- clearance] to get on the JWICS. But the ECI/VRK systems are
much higher[levels of special compartmentalized clearance]
than the JWICS. And you have to be in the black world to get
that [clearance].
  
 ECI = Exceptionally Controlled Information. I do not believe
Mr. Snowden had any access to these ECI controlled networks).
VRK = Very Restricted Knowledge. I do not believe Mr. Snowden
had any access to these VRK controlled networks.
  
 These programs typically have, at the least, a requirement of
100 year or until death, �till the person first being �read in�
[i.e. sworn to secrecy as part of access to the higher
classification program] can talk about them. [As an interesting
sidenote, the Washington Times reported in 2006 that � when Tice
offered to testify to Congress about this illegal spying � he
was informed by the NSA that the Senate and House intelligence
committees were not cleared to hear such information.]
  
 It�s very compartmentalized and � even with stuff that they had
� you might have something at NSA, that there�s literally 40
people at NSA that know that it�s going on in the entire agency.
  
 When the stuff came out in the New York Times [the first big
spying story, which broke in 2005] � and I was a source of
information for the New York Times � that�s when President Bush
made up that nonsense about the �terrorist surveillance program.�
By the way, that never existed. That was made up.
  
 There was no such thing beforehand. It was made up � to try
to placate the American people.
  
 The NSA IG (Inspector General) � who was not cleared for this �
all of a sudden is told he has to do an investigation on this;
something he has no information or knowledge of.
  
 So what they did, is they took a few documents and they
downgraded [he classification level of the documents] � just
a few � and gave them to them to placate this basic whitewash
investigation.�

? Snowden Strikes Back at NSA, Emails NBC News ::
  
 Fugitive Edward Snowden on Friday challenged the
NSA�s insistence that it has no evidence he tried
to raise concerns about the agency�s surveillance
activity before he began leaking government documents
to reporters, calling the response a �clearly tailored
and incomplete leak ... for a political advantage.�
  
 �The NSA�s new discovery of written contact between
me and its lawyers -- after more than a year of denying
any such contact existed - raises serious concerns,�
Snowden said in an email Friday to NBC News. �It
reveals as false the NSA�s claim to Barton Gellman
of the Washington Post in December of last year, that
�after extensive investigation, including interviews
with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we
have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden�s
contention that he brought these matters to anyone�s
attention.��
  
 Snowden�s email followed Thursday�s release by the US
Office of the Director of Intelligence of an email
exchange between Snowden and the NSA�s Office of the
General Counsel. The Washington Post received and
published a similar response from Snowden on Thursday.

http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1088934/mystic-tearsheet-cropped-v2.pdf
  
 The National Security Agency has built a surveillance
system capable of recording �100 percent� of a foreign
country�s telephone calls, enabling the agency to rewind
and review conversations as long as a month after they
take place, according to people with direct knowledge of
the effort and documents supplied by former contractor
Edward Snowden.
  
 A senior manager for the program compares it to a time
machine � one that can replay the voices from any call
without requiring that a person be identified in advance
for surveillance.
  
 The voice interception program, called MYSTIC, began in
2009. Its RETRO tool, short for �retrospective retrieval,�
and related projects reached full capacity against the
first target nation in 2011. Planning documents two years
later anticipated similar operations elsewhere.
  
 In the initial deployment, collection systems are recording
�every single� conversation nationwide, storing billions of
them in a 30-day rolling buffer that clears the oldest
calls as new ones arrive, according to a classified summary.
  
 The call buffer opens a door �into the past,� the summary
says, enabling users to �retrieve audio of interest that
was not tasked at the time of the original call.� Analysts
listen to only a fraction of 1 percent of the calls, but
the absolute numbers are high. Each month, they send
millions of voice clippings, or �cuts,� for processing
and long-term storage.

� NSA/NIS Aquired Supercomputer to Break Crypto ::
  
 The Norwegian Inteligence Service (NIS) is also
nauseous from the unmanageable amounts of data it
is served daily. This is partly the reason why NSA
now purchases a supercomputer codenamed Steelwinter.
This information comes from a document Edward Snowden
took from NSA and has later shared with Dagbladet.
The document, marked �top secret� is a summary of
how the NSA sees the collaboration with Norway after
a meeting between the two services in March 2013.
  
 The supercomputer NIS buys is a derivation of the
so-called Windsor Blue supercomputer.
  
 �NIS is in the process of acquiring STEEL WINTER
(a WINDSORBLUE derivative supercomputer) and has
entered into a partnership with NSA - cryptanalysis
( ...) service to develop applications of mutual
benefit� the document says.
  
 �Windsor Blue� is the name of a program for
supercomputers at the American IT-giant IBM. The
company is working towards creating a so-called
exascale supercomputer which means it can make a
quintillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - calculations
per second.

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

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

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

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

 According to Matt Blaze, a surveillance and cryptography
expert at the University of Pennsylvania, it appears that
the QUANTUMHAND technique is aimed at targeting specific
individuals. But he expresses concerns about how it has
been covertly integrated within Internet networks as part
of the NSA�s automated TURBINE system.

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

� CSEC Used Airport Wi-Fi to Track Travellers ::
  
 A top secret document retrieved by US whistleblower
Edward Snowden and obtained by CBC News shows
that Canada�s electronic spy agency used information
from the free internet service at a major Canadian
airport to track the wireless devices of thousands
of ordinary airline passengers for days after they
left the terminal.
  
 After reviewing the document, one of Canada�s
foremost authorities on cyber-security says the
clandestine operation by the Communications
Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) was almost
certainly illegal. ... ...
  
 The document indicates the passenger tracking
operation was a trial run of a powerful new
software program CSEC was developing with help
from its US counterpart, the NSA.
  
 In the document, CSEC called the new technologies
�game-changing,� and said they could be used for
tracking �any target that makes occasional forays
into other cities/regions.�
  
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/csec-used-airport-wi-fi-to-track-canadian-travellers-edward-snowden-documents-1.2517881
  
 CSEC concluded: �Can then take seeds from these
airports and repeat to cover whole world.�

� GCHQ Snooped on YouTube and Facebook ::
  
 Documents taken from the National Security
Agency by Edward Snowden and obtained by NBC
News detail how British cyber spies demonstrated
a pilot program to their US partners in 2012
in which they were able to monitor YouTube in
real time and collect addresses from the billions
of videos watched daily, as well as some user
information, for analysis. At the time the
documents were printed, they were also able to
spy on Facebook and Twitter.
  
 Called �Psychology A New Kind of SIGDEV�
(Signals Development), the presentation includes
a section that spells out �Broad real-time
monitoring of online activity� of YouTube videos,
URLs �liked� on Facebook, and Blogspot/Blogger
visits. The monitoring program is called
�Squeaky Dolphin.�
  
 Experts told NBC News the documents show the
British had to have been either physically able
to tap the cables carrying the world�s web
traffic or able to use a third party to gain
physical access to the massive stream of data,
and would be able to extract some key data
about specific users as well.

 Reform? Reform was never intended to come
from politicians or the white house. Reform
will come from peoples� change of online use ;
growing public use of open-source encryption,
growing use of services such as Tor, a growing
amount of computers air-gapped, growing use of
hardcopy backups rather than �the cloud� - and
add to that, more people bleaching their cookies
among other web browser cache, surging VPN use,
growing use of proxies. Sudden disconnections
of users� modems when not actually being used. The
use of alternative search engines (such as ixquick,
duckduckgo, startpage, privatelee, et al) and
also consider the growing use of XPIs such as
Noscript, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere and others.
  
Reform?
  
 How about the death of RSA and a new generation
of young privacy-crypto-enthusiasts who start to
say �fuck the corporate platforms� and change it
whether legal or not?
  
The reform will come from people taking action.
  
 Here�s what I�d like to know - will �big government�
follow up reform with their �internet kill switch?�

 The technology, which the agency has used
since at least 2008, relies on a covert
channel of radio waves that can be transmitted
from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted
surreptitiously into the computers. In some
cases, they are sent to a briefcase-size
relay station that intelligence agencies can
set up miles away from the target.
  
 The radio frequency technology has helped
solve one of the biggest problems facing
American intelligence agencies for years:
getting into computers that adversaries,
and some American partners, have tried to
make impervious to spying or cyberattack.
In most cases, the radio frequency hardware
must be physically inserted by a spy, a
manufacturer or an unwitting user.

Agency is racing to build a computer that
could break nearly every kind of encryption
used to protect banking, medical, business
and government records around the world.
  
 According to documents provided by former

to build �a cryptologically useful quantum
computer� � a machine exponentially faster
than classical computers � is part of a
$79.7 million research program titled
�Penetrating Hard Targets.� Much of the

� Documents Reveal Top NSA Hacking Unit ::
  
 The NSA�s TAO hacking unit is considered
to be the intelligence agency�s top secret
weapon. It maintains its own covert network,
infiltrates computers around the world and
even intercepts shipping deliveries to plant
back doors in electronics ordered by those
it is targeting. ... ...
  
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-nsa-uses-powerful-toolbox-in-effort-to-spy-on-global-networks-a-940969.html
  
 The insert method and other variants of
QUANTUM are closely linked to a shadow
network operated by the NSA alongside the
Internet, with its own, well-hidden
infrastructure comprised of �covert�
routers and servers. It appears the NSA
also incorporates routers and servers
from non-NSA networks into its covert
network by infecting these networks with
�implants� that then allow the government
hackers to control the computers remotely.
  
 In this way, the intelligence service seeks
to identify and track its targets based on
their digital footprints. These identifiers
could include certain email addresses or
website cookies set on a person�s computer.
Of course, a cookie doesn�t automatically
identify a person, but it can if it includes
additional information like an email address.
In that case, a cookie becomes something
like the web equivalent of a fingerprint.

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

� Judge Declares Metadata Hoarding Violates
Fourth Amendment Rights ::
  
http://cryptome.org/2013/12/klayman-048-049.pdf
  
 A federal judge ruled Monday that the
National Security Agency program which
collects information on nearly all telephone
calls made to, from or within the United
States is likely unconstitutional.
  
 US District Court Judge Richard Leon found
that the program appears to violate the
Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable
searches and seizures. He also said the
Justice Department had failed to demonstrate
that collecting the information had helped
to head off terrorist attacks.
  
 Acting on a lawsuit brought by conservative
legal activist Larry Klayman, Leon issued
a preliminary injunction barring the NSA
from collecting so-called metadata pertaining
to the Verizon accounts of Klayman and one
of his clients. However, the judge stayed

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

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

http://blog.erratasec.com/2013/12/dod-address-space-its-not-conspiracy.html
  
� Bruce Schneier Leaves British Telecom ::
  
 �Yes, it�s true. And contrary to rumors,
this has nothing to do with the NSA or GCHQ.
No, BT wasn�t always happy with my writings
on the topic, but it knew that I am an
independent thinker and didn�t try to
muzzle me in any way. I�m just ready to
leave. I spent seven years at BT, and
seven years at Counterpane Internet
Security, Inc., before BT bought us.
It�s past time for something new.�

� NSA Infected Around 50,000 Networks Worldwide ::
  
 The American intelligence service - NSA -
infected more than 50,000 computer networks
worldwide with malicious software designed
to steal sensitive information. Documents
provided by former NSA-employee Edward Snowden
and seen by this newspaper, prove this.
  
 A management presentation dating from 2012
explains how the NSA collects information
worldwide. In addition, the presentation
shows that the intelligence service uses
�Computer Network Exploitation� (CNE) in
more than 50,000 locations. CNE is the
secret infiltration of computer systems
achieved by installing malware, malicious
software.
  
 One example of this type of hacking was
discovered in September 2013 at the Belgium
telecom provider Belgacom. For a number of
years the British intelligence service - GCHQ �
has been installing this malicious software
in the Belgacom network in order to tap
their customers� telephone and data traffic.
The Belgacom network was infiltrated by GCHQ
through a process of luring employees to a
false Linkedin page.

� NSA Power to Generate Profits and Pay ::
  
 The NSA SIGINT Strategy 2012-2016 pretty
well covers all the comsec and crypto
initiatives to covertly exploit people,
cryptographers, anonymizers, informants,
planted spies, security firms, networks,
governments, nations, friends, lovers
and citizens.
  
 Not sure leaks, lawsuits and protests
will deter this bounty of profits for
the comsec industry, unless the public
is aroused to demand the 3 branches grasp
the nettle, and all those making money
from this deception operation decide to
give up their profits, perks and prestige.
  
 I mean those on the comsec and crypto
lists, those participating in standards
committees, those enjoying contracts and
grants in think tanks and universities,
those in law firms and public interest
orgs, those in the media and academia,
those in non-spy gov agencies, pretending
to be in opposition as they scramble to
rejigger their products and sales pitches,
to exploit what is being fabricated to
diminish Snowden�s revelations with new
forms of secrecy, technology, law,
regulations, bribery, lobbying, grants,
contracts, list lurking, online and
offline spying, break-ins, the usual
kaboodle, to assure the NSA goals are
fulfilled.

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

� NSA Tracking Cellphone Locations ::
  
 In unveiling new Edward Snowden revelations
about NSA spying, the Washington Post has
once again whitewashed the fact that the
content of all our communications have
been stored and analyzed under the Echelon
program since the 1990s.
  
 The new details concern how, �The National
Security Agency is gathering nearly 5
billion records a day on the whereabouts
of cellphones around the world.�
  
 However, the report reveals itself to
be little more than an exercise in soft-
peddling when it claims that, �The NSA
does not target Americans� location data
by design, but the agency acquires a
substantial amount of information on
the whereabouts of domestic cellphones
�incidentally.�
  
 This notion that the NSA just accidentally
happens to record the locations of Americans
using data from their cellphones, and is
not deliberately engaging in domestic
surveillance, is yet another example of
damage control by the establishment.

� Rollingstone Describes NSA�s Influx of Money ::
  
 September 11th, which also happened to
be Drake�s first day at Fort Meade, changed
the equation. Drake explains the shift in
two ways: The first was a massive expansion
of US spying capabilities as the agency
�unchained itself from the Constitution,�
and began to spy on Americans and foreign
citizens, at home and abroad. The other
change, felt across the entire intelligence
community, was a rapid expansion of the NSA
itself.
  
 �Massive amounts of money were pumped
into the NSA after 9/11, and Congress was
saying, �How big do you want the check?��
says Drake. With virtually every agency
involved in tracking terrorists clamoring
for its SIGINT, or signals intelligence,
the NSA expanded its outposts in Texas,
Georgia, Hawaii, Colorado and Utah, as
well as listening posts abroad, and also
went on a building spree at Fort Meade,
where the NSA�s sprawling 5,000-acre
campus is now almost 10 times the size
of the Pentagon. By 2013, according to
The Washington Post, the NSA had expanded
its workforce by one-third, to about
33,000. The number of private companies
it depended upon more than tripled during
that time.
  
 Soon, thanks to this influx of money
and the increasing reliance on the private
sector to handle even sensitive jobs,
the very heart of America�s intelligence
infrastructure was being outsourced to
contractors. �Essentially, 9/11 was a
massive jobs program, in which the ticket
you needed for the party was your clearance,�
says Drake. �And tons of people were
getting those clearances. So you had
this huge apparatus being built, and
the government was just managing it.
And in some cases, they weren�t even
doing that.� ... ...
  
 By the time Snowden joined the agency�s
workforce, the surveillance he would
later expose was becoming not just
institutionalized but very big business.
�It was around 2009, 2010 that you saw
the full flower of that massive, massive
bubble of money,� says Drake. �And people
were taking it for a ride as far as it
could go.� ... ...
  
 Prior to 2009, Snowden had considered
leaking government secrets when he was
at the CIA, but held off, he later said,
not wanting to harm agents in the field,
and hoping that Obama would reform the
system. His optimism didn�t last long.
�I watched as Obama advanced the very
policies that I thought would be reined
in,� he later said. As a result, he added,
�I got hardened.� The more Snowden saw of
the NSA�s actual business � and, particularly,
the more he read �true information,�
including a 2009 Inspector General�s report
detailing the Bush era�s warrantless-
surveillance program � the more he realized
that there were actually two governments:
the one that was elected, and the other,
secret regime, governing in the dark.
�If the highest officials in government
can break the law without fearing punishment
or even any repercussions at all, secret
powers become tremendously dangerous.�

� Snowden Leaks �Greatest Intelligence
Failure Since World War 2� Exaggerated ::
  
 The Director of NSA claims Snowden stole
200,000 documents. Allegations in Australian
press claim he stole �up to 20,000.� British
authorities accuse Snowden of stealing 58,000.
Claims are bruited in the 5 Eyes that this
is the �greatest intelligence failure since
World War 2.� High officials and ex-spies
accuse Snowden and related media of engaging
in terrorism.
  
 This suggests a counter-espionage campaign
to exaggerate Snowden�s damage, of betrayal
to his country, of aiding the enemy, of
threatening national security. It is
successfully restricting release of the
Snowden material and will likely become
more forceful as releases continue to the
extent of legislation (open or secret)
to criminalize release as a national
security threat.

� Australian Intelligence Agency (ASD)
Swaps Bulk Metadata With the NSA ::
  
 Australia�s intelligence apparatus mines
the telecommunications data of ordinary
Australians, and hands over the material
to the US and its closest allies, according
to the latest leaked document from Edward
Snowden, partly published by the Guardian
Australia web site.
  
 The document obtained by the former US
National Security Agency (NSA) contractor
confirms that the electronic surveillance
agency, the Australian Signals Directorate
(ASD), monitors the domestic population,
as well as the people and governments of
many Asian countries.
  
 Despite Australian legislation supposedly
restricting the ASD�s internal spying,
the agency hands over to the NSA and its
global partners so-called metadata of
the phone calls, texts, emails, on-line
address books and social media posts of
millions of people.
  
 This exposure of mass surveillance follows
the recent revelations, also from documents
leaked by Snowden, that the ASD, then known
as the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD),
tapped the phone calls of Indonesian
prez Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and that
Australian embassies throughout Asia
operate as electronic listening posts
for the US-led spying network.

� Australian Media Denounces Exposure of
Indonesia Spying Operations ::
  
 The Australian Broadcasting Corporation�s
(ABC) recent joint reporting of Australian
espionage operations targeting Indonesian
political figures has been furiously
denounced by other media outlets for
breaching �national security� and the
�national interest.� The reaction
underscores the extent to which the
media establishment has been integrated
into the state-intelligence apparatus.
  
 On November 18, after being approached
by the Guardian with documents leaked
by former National Security Agency (NSA)
contractor Edward Snowden, the ABC
co-released the story, revealing Australian
phone tapping of Indonesian Prez Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife and eight
senior political figures. The report
triggered a still-unresolved diplomatic
crisis for the Australian government, with
the Indonesian president suspending military
and intelligence cooperation.

� NSA G8 - G20 Summit SIGINT Directive ::
  
 Top secret documents retrieved by US
whistleblower Edward Snowden show that
Prime Minister Stephen Harper�s dictatorship
allowed the largest American spy agency
to conduct widespread surveillance in
Canada during the 2010 G8 and G20 summits.
  
 The documents are being reported exclusively
by CBC News.
  
 The briefing notes, stamped �Top Secret,�
show the US turned its Ottawa embassy into
a security command post during a six-day
spying operation by the National Security
Agency while US Prez Barack Obama and 25
other foreign heads of government were on
Canadian soil in June of 2010.
  
 The covert US operation was no secret to
Canadian authorities. ... ...
  
 The world was still struggling to climb
out of the great recession of 2008. Leaders
were debating a wide array of possible
measures including a global tax on banks,
an idea strongly opposed by both the US
and Canadian governments. That notion was
eventually scotched.

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

 In the months since, the Guardian has
continued to make officials here exceedingly
nervous by exposing the joint operations of
US and British intelligence � particularly
their cooperation in data collection and
snooping programs involving British citizens
and close allies on the European continent.
  
 In response, the Guardian is being called

� US Dictatorship Fuels the Same Threats
as the British Dictatorship ::
  
 Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reporter who
published Edward Snowden�s leaks, was
recently suggested to be a criminal for
shining light on the NSA�s abuse of power.
This is a key identifiable step when societies
close down; it is a point of no return. It
seems the United States is reaching the event
horizon to a police state.
  
http://falkvinge.net/2013/06/30/with-journalism-persecuted-the-united-states-is-now-at-event-horizon-to-a-police-state/
  
Cryptome noted
  
 �There have been no reports of leakage
from the insurance stashes, the publication
outlets or the various reported transmissions
among them (except for the Miranda snatch by
UKG), although there could be some which have
not been disclosed, not known, were sold or
bartered, or were stolen for future use.
  
 It is likely that intelligence and law
enforcement agencies have made stringent
efforts to access the documents by customarily
secret burglary, bribery, barter, purchase,
deception, co-optation.
  
 Those multiple persons and outlets who have
had access, or suspected of access, are
certain to have been targeted, some perhaps
successfully persuaded to cooperate with
promises of confidentiality, backed by
threats if cooperation is refused -- a
standard coercive means of authorities.
  
 While Edward Snowden is knowledgeable
about counter-espionage and likely advised
his initial correspondents, who in turn
advised successive cooperators, usually
these counter-operations are not revealed,
but hints of them are leaked to discourage
participation.
  
 Beyond that, it is customary to foment
disputes and disagreements among competing
publications, reporters, opinionators,
experts, the spying industry and consumers,
along with threats against families, friends
and employers, as now occurring, to rattle
and pressure targets to consider cooperating
with authorities, including use of rewards
-- monetary and career -- for informants.�

� NSA and GCHQ Breaks 3rd Party SSL to
Steal Email Metadata ::
  
 Even though they cooperate with the US
spy agency on court-ordered surveillance,
firms like Google and Yahoo are subject to
additional surveillance they never agreed to.
  
 Web companies host copies of your data on
servers around the world, reducing the
chance of losing your information should
one fail. When you log in to an account
with these firms, the data sent between
you and their servers is encrypted, making
it difficult to snoop � but the internal
transfers between data centres are unencrypted.
And because many of the transfers take place
outside the US, approval from a FISA court
isn�t required to tap the information.
  
 The National Security Agency has secretly
broken into the main communications links
that connect Yahoo and Google data centers
around the world, according to documents
obtained from former NSA contractor Edward
Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable
officials.
  
 By tapping those links, the agency has
positioned itself to collect at will from
hundreds of millions of user accounts,
many of them belonging to Americans. The
NSA does not keep everything it collects,
but it keeps a lot.
  
 The NSA�s principal tool to exploit the
data links is a project called MUSCULAR,
operated jointly with the agency�s British
counterpart, the Government Communications
Headquarters. From undisclosed interception
points, the NSA and the GCHQ are copying
entire data flows across fiber-optic cables
that carry information among the data
centers of the Silicon Valley giants.

� NSA Collects Bulk Email Address Books ::
  
 In June, President Obama said the NSA�s
email collecting program �does not apply
to US citizens.� 
  
 The National Security Agency is harvesting
hundreds of millions of contact lists from
personal e-mail and instant messaging
accounts around the world, many of them
belonging to Americans, according to
senior intelligence officials and top-secret
documents provided by former NSA contractor
Edward Snowden.
  
 The collection program, which has not
been disclosed before, intercepts e-mail
address books and �buddy lists� from
instant messaging services as they move
across global data links. Online services
often transmit those contacts when a user
logs on, composes a message, or synchronizes
a computer or mobile device with information
stored on remote servers.

 �Recent articles published in the
French newspaper Le Monde contain
inaccurate and misleading information
regarding US foreign intelligence
activities. The allegation that the
National Security Agency collected more
than 70 million �recordings of French
citizens� telephone data� is false.
  
 While we are not going to discuss the
details of our activities, we have
repeatedly made it clear that the
United States gathers intelligence of
the type gathered by all nations. The
US collects intelligence to protect the
nation, its interests, and its allies
from, among other things, threats such
as terrorism and the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction.
  
 The United States values our longstanding
friendship and alliance with France and
we will continue to cooperate on security
and intelligence matters going forward.�

� US and UK Governments Still Worry Over
Cache of Encrypted Documents by Snowden ::
  
 US and British intelligence officials
say they are concerned about a �doomsday�
collection of highly classified, heavily
encrypted materials they believe former
National Security Agency contractor
Edward Snowden may have stored away.
  
 One source saw the cache of documents
as an �insurance policy� for Snowden
should he feel threatened by arrest or
other harm. ... ...
  
 Adding merit to the suspicion that the

� NSA Report Outlined Goals for More Power ::
  
 Officials at the National Security Agency,
intent on maintaining its dominance in
intelligence collection, pledged last year
to push to expand its surveillance powers,
according to a top-secret strategy document.
  
 Written as an agency mission statement with
broad goals, the five-page document said
that existing American laws were not adequate
to meet the needs of the NSA to conduct broad
surveillance in what it cited as �the golden
age of Sigint,� or signals intelligence.
�The interpretation and guidelines for
applying our authorities, and in some cases
the authorities themselves, have not kept
pace with the complexity of the technology
and target environments, or the operational
expectations levied on NSA�s mission,� the
document concluded.

� NSA and GCHQ Defeats Encryption ::
  
 US and British intelligence agencies
have successfully cracked much of the
online encryption relied upon by hundreds
of millions of people to protect the
privacy of their personal data, online
transactions and emails, according to
top-secret documents revealed by former
contractor Edward Snowden. ...
  
 Those methods include covert measures
to ensure NSA control over setting of
international encryption standards, the
use of supercomputers to break encryption
with �brute force�, and � the most closely
guarded secret of all � collaboration with
technology companies and internet service
providers themselves.
  
 Through these covert partnerships, the
agencies have inserted secret vulnerabilities
� known as backdoors or trapdoors � into
commercial encryption software. ... ...
  
 Independent security experts have long
suspected that the NSA has been introducing
weaknesses into security standards, a fact
confirmed for the first time by another
secret document. It shows the agency
worked covertly to get its own version
of a draft security standard issued by
the US National Institute of Standards
and Technology approved for worldwide
use in 2006.

� Meet the Spies Doing the NSA�s Dirty Work ::
  
 The heart of the FBI�s signals intelligence
activities is an obscure organization called
the Data Intercept Technology Unit, or DITU
(pronounced DEE-too). The handful of news
articles that mentioned it prior to revelations
of NSA surveillance this summer did so mostly
in passing. It has barely been discussed in
congressional testimony. An NSA PowerPoint
presentation given to journalists by former
NSA contractor Edward Snowden hints at DITU�s
pivotal role in the NSA�s Prism system --
it appears as a nondescript box on a flowchart
showing how the NSA task[s] information to
be collected, which is then gathered and
delivered by the DITU.
  
 The DITU is located in a sprawling compound
at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia,
home of the FBI�s training academy and the
bureau�s Operational Technology Division,
which runs all the FBI�s technical intelligence
collection, processing, and reporting.

 The magnitude of the global espionage
by the NSA.
  
 During the summer, the documents provided to the Guardian
and the Washington Post by former NSA employee Edward
Snowden helped unveil the extent of surveillance and
espionage carried out by the NSA and its allies. Le Monde
also now has access to some of these documents.
  
 Before the summer, the NSA was the most secretive intelligence
agencies of the United States. Then came Edward Snowden,
who was granted an asylum for a year in Russia. Wanting to
denounce "the largest program of arbitrary monitoring of human
history," the American working for a subcontractor of the NSA
has obtained several thousands of highly confidential documents.
  
 In early June, the first secrets of the National Security
Agency in these parts start to filter. The Guardian reveals
that the telephone operator Verizon provides NSA phone data
of several million Americans, according to a court order secret.
Then it was the turn of the Prism program to be unveiled. It
allows the US Secret Service, and first and foremost to the
NSA, to access a privileged manner, since December 2007,
data from nine major Internet companies, including Google,
Facebook and Microsoft.
  
MONITORING OF SUBMARINE CABLE
  
 A document providing internal training on Prism, which Le
Monde has also had access, how the NSA analysts can query
the databases of Web giants, research documents, emails or
instant discussions. All within a legal framework that
overcomes the request of an individual mandate. The companies
named in the documents have denied that the NSA had a direct
and unilateral access to their servers.
  
 In addition to this targeted surveillance, Snowden records
reveal another method of massive collection of the NSA called
Upstream. This system can collect data from the submarine
cable and Internet infrastructures. A logical strategy, when
we know that 99% of global communications now pass through
diving.
  
 To learn more about the context of the revelations of the
World, the editorial read : "Fight Big Brother"
  
 The British equivalent of the NSA, the Government Communications
Headquarters (GCHQ), plays a major role in this system, because
of the historical proximity of Great Britain and the United States,
confidentiality agreements and a financial dependence of those
services from London to Washington. There are also technical
reasons : a significant portion of submarine cables linking
Europe to America through Britain. With Edward Snowden, the
Tempora program , which aims to "control the Internet" by
monitoring these cables, has been revealed. "You're in an
enviable position, says a document presenting Tempora, presented
by the Guardian, have fun and pull in the best." Turning a page
of the document presenting the Prism program, we discover Upstream
relies on four programs (Blarney, Fairview, and oakstar Stormbrew)
which we know to date, the outline. Fairview, for example,
would largely on intercepted telephone conversations via the
major US carriers.
  
DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS
  
 Many tools are needed to sort the mass of intercepted data.
One of them is called XKeyscore, and its operation has been
detailed in the columns of the Guardian. The extreme precision
of the data are clear. With XKeyscore, analysts can access
the content of e-mails to a list of websites visited by their
target or the keywords entered by the latter in the search
engines.
  
 The framework for this research is not binding, as the Guardian
explained, and many Americans are data made available to agents.
According to the presentation materials, to promote the
capabilities of the tool, three hundred terrorists have been
arrested since 2008 thanks to XKeyscore.
  
 NSA and GCHQ not only devote their considerable resources
monitoring the fight against terrorism, but also to spy allies.
At the G20 summit in London in 2009, computers of diplomats
and heads of state were monitored by GCHQ, as well as some of
their phone calls. NSA, she focused on the European Union (EU),
as revealed by Der Spiegel, always on the basis of documents
Snowden. NSA has installed cookies on the premises of the EU
representation in Washington. The EU delegation to the UN in
New York, and the building of the Council of the European Union
in Brussels were also scrutinized by the US agency. Brazil is
also one of the countries affected by this intelligence. According
to Brazilian media group O Globo, its political leaders as some
companies have been targeted.
  
 The Snowden documents have informed the considerable efforts
made by the United States to start listening to Internet, in a
sometimes unclear legal framework and often away from real
democratic debate. Interviewed by Le Monde, the US authorities
have assured that the Prism program was the subject of a
parliamentary debate in the United States and was working
in a strictly regulated legal framework. Asked on September 12
revelations Snowden, James Clapper, the US Director of National
Intelligence, said: "What happened - and that is harmful - sparked
conversation and debate that it probably was necessary."

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

 David Addington, Cheney�s chief of staff,
thought that the NSA should use its
technology to intercept emails and
telephone calls sent from one domestic
terminal to another, and was upset to
learn that Hayden thought differently.
That was a line he would only cross,
deliberately, with court and congressional
approval. Addington dropped the idea,
but as we now know, the agency added
to its portfolio a mandate to monitor
suspicious communications that transited
the border of the United States, and
later began to collect reams of metadata
in order to analyze it.
  
 Hayden wasn�t being cautious just for
the record: NSA�s job was to collect
foreign intelligence � to steal stuff,
or purloin letters, real and digital,
in order to provide policymakers with a
decision advantage. The advantage the
NSA provided was accurate information
about what people who interacted with
the United States said in private about
their intentions; that gap between saying
and doing, and the ability to predict
action from it, allows the president of
the United States to stay a step ahead.
  
 It�s one thing to say that the United
States� actions don�t always match up
with the values we espouse, and that�s
true. When our hypocrisy is exposed,
our moral authority wanes and our
ability to maneuver is reduced.
  
 It�s quite another to assume that other
countries are any purer. They never have
been and probably won�t be. Many are much
purer than others, so the amount of
resources the intelligence community
devotes to harder strategic targets ought
to correspond with how honest our allies
are, or how little they deceive us. The
egg comes before the chicken: How the hell
can we figure out which allies are more
reliable if we don�t figure out the
correspondence between public and private
words and actions.
  
 Of course, Brazil, France, Germany, and
Mexico do exactly the same thing. They
want their leaders to gain a decision
advantage in the give and take between
countries. They want to know what US
policymakers will do before the Americans
do it. And in the case of Brazil and
France, they aggressively spy on the
United States, on US citizens and
politicians, in order to collect that
information. The difference lies in the
scale of intelligence collection: The
US has the most effective, most distributed,
most sophisticated intelligence community
in the West. It is Goliath. And other
countries, rightly in their mind, are
envious.

� Cookies Threaten Tor User Anonymity ::
  
 �Just because you�re using Tor doesn�t
mean that your browser isn't storing
cookies,� said Jeremiah Grossman, a
colleague of Hansen�s who also specializes
in browser vulnerabilities.
  
 As Grossman described the procedure to
CNET, the NSA is aware of Tor�s entry
and exit nodes because of its Internet
wide surveillance.
  
 �The very feature that makes Tor a
powerful anonymity service, and the
fact that all Tor users look alike on
the Internet, makes it easy to
differentiate Tor users from other
Web users,� he wrote.
  
 �The NSA then cookies that ad, so that
every time you go to a site, the cookie
identifies you. Even though your IP
address changed [because of Tor], the
cookies gave you away,� he said.

� NSA ; Tor Source Code Vulnerabilities ::
  
 �We have seen several targets using Tor.
Our goal was to analyze Tor source code
and determine any vulnerabilities in
the system. We set up an internal Tor
network to analyze Tor traffic, in the
hopes of discovering ways to passively
identify it. We also worked to create
a custom Tor client which allows the
user finer control.� ... ...
  
 �This accomplishes several things.
Most basically, the Tor servers, many
of which are listed on publicly advertised
directory servers, are chosen to act as
a series of proxies. This may seem to
be excessively complex, as a single
proxy server can be used to hide one�s
location, but a single-hop proxy is
vulnerable in two ways. First, by
analyzing the pattern of the traffic
going to and from the proxy server,
it is possible to deduce which clients
are making which requests. Second, if
an attacker owns the proxy server, then
it certainly knows who is asking for what,
and anonymization is ruined. By using
multiple hops, Tor is much more resistant
to both of these attacks. Traffic analysis
becomes extraordinarily difficult, as it
must be coordinated across several machines,
and an attacker must own all the hops
along the circuit in order to trace
requests back to the originating client.�
  
... ...
  
 �In our time in the lab, we found that
running an nmap on a node that is offering
a hidden service will turn up the port
that the hidden service is using to deal
with incoming connections. It can then be
directly connected to, outside of Tor.�
  
... ...
  
 �We would have to try to connect to
each of the ports we see open on a
machine to determine if there is a
hidden service being run. We would not
even know which protocol the hidden
service is running. It may be an HTTP
server, an FTP server, an SMTP server,
etc. The only thing we know is that
the protocol must run over TCP. It is
not enough to attempt to connect once
to each port, using an HTTP GET request.
Several protocols must be tried.�
  
... ...
  
 �It may also be useful to study Tor
directory servers in more detail. Our
work focused solely on the client, but
many attacks would be much easier with
access to more Tor servers. The directory
servers ultimately control which Tor
servers are used by clients. We have found
that a server can put itself on a directory
server multiple times; all it takes is the
server running several Tor processes, each
having a different nickname, open port,
fingerprint, and LOG FILE. This only
requires different configuration files
for the different processes, which are
easy to set up. That machine will handle
a disproportionate amount of traffic,
since it is listed several times. This
increases the density of friendly servers
in the cloud without increasing the number
of servers we have set up. Unfortunately,
each listing has the same IP address,
which would be very noticeable to anyone
who inspecting the directories.�

UNITED STATES ONLY COUNTRY TO VOTE �NO�
TO A NEW TREATY FOR DIGITAL PRIVACY ::
  
 Led by the German government, a loose
coalition of privacy chiefs from countries
across the world is pushing to update an
influential international human rights
treaty that enshrines the right to privacy.
  
... ...
  
 The annual conference was attended by a
diverse selection of privacy and data
protection officials from across the
world, with representatives attending
from countries including Japan, New Zealand,
France, Slovenia, Uruguay, Belgium, Ireland,
Finland, Spain, Australia, Germany, Burkina
Faso, Canada, the United States, and the
United Kingdom.
  
 During a closed session at the conference
open only to the privacy chiefs, a
resolution was put forward for a vote
on the proposal to update Article 17.
They voted overwhelmingly in favor of
the idea, recognizing a need to �create
globally applicable standards for data
protection and the protection of privacy
in accordance with the rule of law.�
  
 Notably, only one country did not approve
of the resolution ... the United States.
  
 At this point, the proposed Article 17
protocol is still a long way off. It will
eventually need to be put forward at the
United Nations and voted on by member
states, and that could take time. But
the growing appetite to amend the
international treaty in light of the
Snowden revelations is highly symbolic
if nothing else, reflecting widespread
concerns about the power of mass surveillance
technology in the digital age to trample
over basic universal privacy rights.

 According to a top secret document disclosed by NSA

the PRISM programme was deployed by the American agency
to gather key information from India by tapping directly
into the servers of tech giants which provide services
such as email, video sharing, voice-over-IPs, online chats,
file transfer and social networking services.
  
 And, according to the PRISM document seen by The Hindu,
much of the communication targeted by the NSA is unrelated
to terrorism, contrary to claims of Indian and American
officials.
  
 Instead, much of the surveillance was focused on India�s
domestic politics and the country�s strategic and commercial
interests.

 According to the 2010 COMINT (communication intelligence)
document about �Close Access SIGADs�, the offices of Indian
diplomats and high-ranking military officials stationed
at these important posts were targets of four different
kinds of electronic snooping devices:
  
 Lifesaver, which facilitates imaging of the hard drive

� Corporations Worry About Long-Term Blowback of NSA
Revelations ::
  
 With all of the disturbing revelations that have come
to light in the last few weeks regarding the NSA�s
collection methods and its efforts to weaken cryptographic
protocols and security products, experts say that perhaps
the most worrisome result of all of this is that no one
knows who or what they can trust anymore.
  
 The fallout from the most-recent NSA leaks, which revealed
the agency�s ability to subvert some cryptographic standards
and its �partnerships� with software and hardware vendors
to insert backdoors into various unnamed products, has
continued to accumulate over the course of the last couple
of weeks. Cryptographers and security researchers have been
eager to determine which products and protocols are suspect,
and the discussion has veered in a lot of different directions.
But one thing that�s become clear is that when the government
lost the so-called Crypto Wars in the 1990s, the NSA didn�t
just go back to Fort Meade and tend to its knitting.
  
http://proxy.rickmartensen.nl/threatpost.com/experts-worry-about-long-term-implications-of-nsa-revelations/102355
  
� The Sky is Not Falling � It�s Fallen ::
  
 The security community didn�t invent the concept of fear,
uncertainty and doubt, but it has perfected it and raised
it to the level of religion. It�s the way that security products
are marketed and sold, but it�s also the way that the intelligence
community justifies its extra-legal and, in some cases,
unconstitutional, data-gathering practices. Just as vendors
use the specter of catastrophic hacks, data loss and public
embarrassment to push their wares, the NSA and its allies
have used the dark shadow of 9/11 and global terrorism to
justify their increasingly aggressive practices, some of which
have now been shown to have deliberately weakened some of the
fundamental building blocks of security.
  
 The most damning bit of string in this ball is the news that
the NSA likely inserted a back door into a key cryptographic
algorithm known as DUAL EC DRBG. That�s bad. What�s worse
is that RSA on Thursday sent a warning to its developer
customers warning them to immediately stop using the company�s
BSAFE library because it uses the compromised random number
generator. That means that untold numbers of products that
include the BSAFE crypto libraries are compromised.

� President Surveillance Program Review ::
  
 �The program was reauthorized by the
President approximately every 45 days,
with certain modifications. Collectively,
the activities carried out under these
Authorizations are referred to as the
�President�s Surveillance Program� or
�PSP.� One of the activities authorized
as part of the PSP was the interception of
the content of communications into and out
of the United States where there was a
reasonable basis to conclude that one
party to the communication was a member
of al-Qa�ida or related terrorist organizations.
  
 This aspect of the PSP was publicly
acknowledged and described by the President,
the Attorney General, and other Administration
officials beginning in December 2005 following
a series of articles published in The New York
Times. The Attorney General subsequently
publicly acknowledged the fact that other
intelligence activities were also authorized
under the same Presidential Authorization,
but the details of those activities remain
classified.� ... ...
  
 �Prior to September 11,2001, the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and
Executive Order 12333 were generally viewed
as the principal governing authorities for
conducting electronic surveillance for
national security purposes. The Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C.
� 1801, et seq., was enacted in 1978 to
"provide legislative authorization and
regulation for all electronic surveillance
conducted within the United States for
foreign intelligence purposes."�

to stifle FAA 702 upstream analysis, EO 12333,
and of-course NSA�s now admitted abuse -
deliberately ignoring restrictions against
domestic communications (a risk to comsec).

� Britain�s GCHQ Hacked Belgian Telecom
Firm ::
  
 Documents from the archive of whistleblower
Edward Snowden indicate that Britain�s
GCHQ intelligence service was behind a
cyber attack against Belgacom, a partly
state-owned Belgian telecoms company.
A �top secret� Government Communications
Headquarters (GCHQ) presentation seen by
SPIEGEL indicate that the goal of project,
conducted under the codename �Operation
Socialist,� was �to enable better
exploitation of Belgacom� and to
improve understanding of the provider�s
infrastructure. ... ...
  
 According to the slides in the GCHQ
presentation, the attack was directed
at several Belgacom employees and
involved the planting of a highly
developed attack technology referred
to as a �Quantum Insert� (�QI�). It
appears to be a method with which the
person being targeted, without their
knowledge, is redirected to websites
that then plant malware on their
computers that can then manipulate
them. Some of the employees whose
computers were infiltrated had �good
access� to important parts of Belgacom�s
infrastructure, and this seemed to
please the British spies, according
to the slides.

Why does the NSA spy on Brazil?
  
 (1) The US wants to maintain global economic power,
(2) the US wants to maintain control over major natural
resources and (3) the US is afraid the new economic powers
(within the BRICS) may destabilize their economic power
and control over natural resources.

� NSA Targeted Israel for Surveillance,
Also Sharing Data With Israeli SIGINT
National Unit ::
  
 A copy of a top-secret deal inked
in 2009 between the NSA and the
Israeli Signals-intelligence National
Unit (ISNU) was provided by NSA
leaker Edward J. Snowden to the
Guardian newspaper, which posted
it Wednesday.
  
 It reveals that the NSA �routinely�
passed to its Israeli counterpart
raw signals intelligence, referred
to as �SIGINT,� including the vast
swathes of digital data traffic that
the agency gathers under secret court
authority from US Internet providers.
  
 So sensitive is this data that even
before being disseminated to other US
agencies, the NSA has to subject it
to a court-mandated process called
minimization, under which the names
of any Americans are removed unless
they are essential for foreign
intelligence interest.
  
 But the US-Israeli agreement states
that the data shared with Israel
�includes, but is not limited to,
unevaluated and unminimized transcripts,
gists, facsimiles, telex, voice and
Digital Network Intelligence metadata
and content.�
  
 �NSA routinely sends ISNU minimized
and unminimized raw collection associated
with selectors from multiple Target office
Primary Interest (TOPI) offices in Analysis
and Production, S2 as part of SIGINT
relationship between the two organizations.�

 Other documents leaked by Mr. Snowden
reveal that Israel was one of the nations
that spy most aggressively against the
United States.
  
 �To further safeguard our classified
networks, we continue to strengthen
insider threat detection capabilities
across the Community. In addition, we
are investing in target surveillance
and offensive CI against key targets,
such as China, Russia, Iran, Israel,
Pakistan, and Cuba.�  - Page 3

 Ironic NSA considers Israel an �insider
threat� - meanwhile we provide them with
plenty of inside information.
  
 However the NSA used cryptanalysis and
exploitation against Brazil leadership
and Brazil was never a �key target.�
  
This reminds of a quote ;
  
 �What if all secret agencies were of one
accord spiritually, like in the paintings
of dogs playing poker, just using humanity
to play out one big game of destruction
and domination with humans as the visible
and spiritual puppets?�

� DNI and NSA Blame Obama to Cover Up
Violations Against a 2011 Court Order ::
  
 The Obama regime secretly won permission
from a surveillance court in 2011 to
reverse restrictions on the National
Security Agency�s use of intercepted
phone calls and e-mails, permitting
the agency to search deliberately for
Americans� communications in its massive
databases, ACCORDING TO INTERVIEWS WITH
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS and recently
�declassified material� - (which, by
the way, had NO classification, NO date,
NO stamp, NO names, NO identification
of which agency it came from and most
shocking of all NO blackouts, odd.)
  
http://www.dni.gov/files/documents/DNI%20Clapper%20Section%20702%20Declassification%20Cover%20Letter.pdf
  
 In addition, the court extended the
length of time that the NSA is allowed
to retain intercepted US communications
from five years to six years � and more
under special circumstances, according
to the documents, which include a
recently released 2011 opinion by US
District Judge John D. Bates, then
chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court.

http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/national/what-to-say-and-not-to-say-to-our-overseers/390/
  
 The new Washington Post report has
linked to disinformation from a DNI
(press) release exposing yet another
attempt to dodge any criminal charges
or take responsibility for the abuses
exposed from the FISA Court audit.
  
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-administration-had-restrictions-on-nsa-reversed-in-2011/2013/09/07/c26ef658-0fe5-11e3-85b6-d27422650fd5_story.html
  
 I suspect another attempt by the DNI
and NSA to cover up FISA violations.
  
 Just blame the puppet-in-charge, Obama,
to use as a scapegoat - go figure.
  
 All of this information is backed up
and will be mirrored soon. Meanwhile,
here is the leaked 2012 audit exposing
2,776 violations one year after the
FISA Court order.
  
http://cryptome.org/2013/08/nsa-fisa-audit.pdf
  
 As for Congress they will lay down like
a bunch of leashed dogs who are getting
kickbacks for doing nothing to prevent
this abuse nor fix any problems. I will not
link to their PR circus stunts anymore and
I encourage voters to throw a majority of
them out of office come next election.

� Brazil Senate Committee to Probe Espionage ::
  
 Brazil�s senate has formed an Investigative
Parliamentary Commission to follow up on
reports that the US National Security Agency
(NSA) spied on Brazilian Prez Dilma Rousseff.
  
 �We intend to protect national sovereignty,�
Xinhua quoted Senator Vanessa Graziotin of
the Communist Party of Brazil as saying
Tuesday.
  
 The committee, comprising 11 main members
and seven substitutes, initially has 180
days to investigate claims that the NSA
monitored emails between Rousseff and
several of her top aides, and tapped
her phone.

� BLOWBACK ; US/Brazil Bilateral Relation
Impacted ::
  
 Revelations of a US spy program that
allegedly allows digital surveillance
of the presidents of Brazil and Mexico
have drawn cries of indignation and anger
in both nations, but the fallout may be
strongest for US-Brazil relations.
  
 At stake is whether Brazilian Prez Dilma
Rousseff will cancel a planned state
visit to Washington in October, the
first offered by Prez Barack Obama this
year, or will take action on digital
security that may affect US companies
such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo.
  
 Rousseff is reported to be considering
a proposal that would suspend operations
of companies that cooperate with the
NSA or US intelligence agencies.

 The Obama regime views Israel as one
of the top spying threats facing it�s
intelligence services, leaked documents
reveal.
  
 �Israel should be assumed to continue
to have an aggressive intelligence
collection operations against the
United States,� Pillar said. While
much information is collected through
traditional political contacts, �I
would personally have no doubt that
that is supplemented by whatever means
they can use to find out as much as
they can about what we�re doing,
thinking, deciding on anything of
interest to Israel, which would include
just about any Middle Eastern topic.�

� NSA Exploit Isn�t Crypto, It�s SMTP ::
  
 �The crypto is the easy part. The hard
part is the traffic analysis, of which
the worst part is the Received headers.
Everyone should look at their own headers
-- especially people on this list and
at least comprehend that your email
geotracks you forever, as it�s all in
the Mailman archive.
  
 There are plenty of other leaks like
Message-ID, Mime-Version, X-Mailer,
the actual separators in MIME part
breaks, and so on.
  
 It�s absolutely correct that some
combination of VPNs, Tor, remailers of
whatever stripe, and so on can help
with this, but we�re all lazy and we
don�t do it all the time.
  
 What we�re learning from Snowden is
that they�re doing traffic analysis --
analyzing movements, social graphs,
and so on and so forth. The irony here
is that this tells us that the crypto
works. That�s where I�ve been thinking
for quite some time.
  
 Imagine that you�re a SIGINT group trying
to deal with the inevitability of crypto
that works being deployed everywhere.
What do you do? You just be patient and
start filling in scatter plots of traffic
analysis.
  
The problem isn�t the crypto, it�s SMTP.�

 The US government has attempted to
obtain the master encryption keys that
Internet companies use to shield millions
of users� private web communications
from eavesdropping.
  
 These demands for master encryption keys,
which have not been disclosed previously,
represent a technological escalation in
the clandestine methods that the FBI and
the National Security Agency employ when
conducting electronic surveillance against
Internet users. ... ...
  
 Leaked NSA surveillance procedures,
authorized by Attorney General Eric
Holder, suggest that intercepted domestic
communications are typically destroyed
-- unless they�re encrypted. If that�s
the case, the procedures say, �retention
of all communications that are enciphered�
is permissible.

� UK GCHQ Bude and NSA Exchange Data ::
  
 Britain runs a secret internet-monitoring
station in the Middle East to intercept
and process vast quantities of emails,
telephone calls and web traffic on behalf
of Western intelligence agencies, The
Independent has learnt. ... ...
  
 The information is then processed for
intelligence and passed to GCHQ in
Cheltenham and shared with the National
Security Agency (NSA) in the United States.
The Government claims the station is a
key element in the West�s �war on terror�
and provides a vital �early warning�
system for potential attacks around
the world.
  
 The Independent is not revealing the
precise location of the station but
information on its activities was
contained in the leaked documents
obtained from the NSA by Edward Snowden.
The Guardian newspaper�s reporting on
these documents in recent months has
sparked a dispute with the Government,
with GCHQ security experts overseeing
the destruction of hard drives containing
the data. ... ...
  
 The data-gathering operation is part of
a �1,000,000,000 internet project still
being assembled by GCHQ. It is part of
the surveillance and monitoring system,
code-named �Tempora�, whose wider aim is
the global interception of digital
communications, such as emails and text
messages.
  
 Across three sites, communications �
including telephone calls � are tracked
both by satellite dishes and by tapping
into underwater fibre-optic cables.

 Under the FISA minimization, section 3
(b) (2)  �Monitoring, Recording, and

communications not related to foreign
information or foreign activity for up
to five years.
  
 Found in section 3 (1) �Such inadvertently
acquired communications of or concerning a
United States person may be retained no
longer than five years in any event.�
  
 Under the FISA minimization, section 5
�Domestic Communications (U)� there is
more than one loophole the NSA can use to
be granted authorization to snoop domestic
communications that have been stored.
Look into section 5, sub-sections (2) and
(3). ? (2) refers to criminal activity and
*suspected* criminal activity. (3) refers
to �communications security vulnerability�
both being used as excuses to snoop.

PINWALE is the main NSA database for
recorded signals intercepts. It is
compartmentalized by keywords (the NSA
calls them �selectors�). Metadata is
stored in a database called MARINA and
is generally retained for five years.
  
... ...
  
 �Congress repeatedly resisted the
entreaties of the Bush Administration
to change the surveillance laws once the
RAGTIME program had been institutionalized.
This was for a simple reason: they did
not want to be responsible for a program
that was not legal.�

 Under the FISA minimization, section 3
(b) (2)  �Monitoring, Recording, and

communications not related to foreign
information or foreign activity for up
to five years.
  
 This confirms an XKeyscore presentation

 Yesterday, German media wrote about an
official letter from the NSA, which was
sent to the German government to clarify
some misconceptions about PRISM. This
because German media and politics were
heavily confused after it became clear
that there�s more than one program named
PRISM.
  
 The NSA letter explains what the PRISM
data collection program is about and
then confirms that this program is
different from a more common military
web tool called "Planning tool for
Resource Integration, Synchronization
and Management" (PRISM).
  
 Surprisingly, the NSA also reveals that
there�s even a third program called
PRISM. In this case the name stands
for �Portal for Real-time Information
Sharing and Management� and it�s
apparently an internal NSA information
sharing program. It was unknown until
now, probably because it�s used in the
NSA�s highly sensitive Information
Assurance Directorate (IAD). ... ...
  
 Here�s a short summary of all three
different PRISM programs:
  
1. PRISM
  
 This is a codeword for an NSA project
of collecting information about foreign
targets from data of nine major US
internet companies. This program started
in 2007 and was unveiled by Edward Snowden
in June 2013.
  
2. Planning tool for Resource Integration,
Synchronization and Management (PRISM)
  
 This is a web tool used by US military
intelligence to send tasking instructions
to data collection platforms deployed to
military operations. This program is
not very secret and was first mentioned
in 2002.
  
3. Portal for Real-time Information
Sharing and Management (PRISM)
  
 This is an internal NSA program for
real-time sharing of information,
apparently in the NSA�s Information
Assurance Directorate. Its existance
was revealed by the NSA in July 2013.

� Three Different PRISM Programs? German
Parliament Seeks Clarity in NSA Scandal ::
  
 A Thursday meeting in German parliament
was supposed to shed light on NSA
surveillance activities in Germany.
It only added to the mystery. A US
response to a Berlin inquiry claims
that there are actually three unrelated
Prism programs. ... ...
  
 In addition to testimony from Schindler
and Maassen, officials also read a
written statement from the NSA in
response to a query from the German
government. According to the statement,
there are three separate Prism programs,
all of them unconnected to each other.
Meeting participants say the NSA response
said that one of the Prism programs was
only used internally. That program had
thus far remained secret. Another of
the programs was used by the Pentagon
in Afghanistan. Yet another NSA tool
-- vaguely described in the statement
and allegedly �totally unrelated to the
first� -- carries the name PRISM and
�tracks and queries requests pertaining
to our Information Assurance Directorate.�

� Minute Details of How the NSA Installs
Their Surveillance Equipment ::
  
 Pete Ashdown, the CEO of XMission, detailed
his experience when he received a Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant
in 2010 which forced him to allow the
federal government to monitor a customer
of his.
  
 Of course, like all FISA orders, it also
contained a broad gag order, which still
prevents him from telling all the details.
  
 �The FISA request was a tricky one, because
it was a warrant through the FISA court �
whether you believe that is legitimate or
not,� Ashdown wrote.
  
 He had to help the agents �set up a
duplicate port to tap in to monitor that
customer�s traffic. It was a 2U (two-unit)
PC that we ran a mirrored ethernet port to.�
  
 Ashdown eventually had a box in his
facility that was capturing all of the
traffic sent to his customer. He did not
remember if it was connected to the internet,
but wrote that it was likely capturing
all data to a hard drive for later analysis.

� NSA Admits They Snoop Targets� Contacts�
Contacts� Contacts (3 Hops) ::
  
 As an aside during testimony on Capitol
Hill today, a National Security Agency
representative rather casually indicated
that the government looks at data from
a universe of far, far more people than
previously indicated.
  
 Chris Inglis, the agency�s deputy director,
was one of several government representatives
�including from the FBI and the office of
the Director of National Intelligence�
testifying before the House Judiciary
Committee this morning. Most of the testimony
largely echoed previous testimony by the
agencies on the topic of the government�s
surveillance, including a retread of the
same offered examples for how the Patriot
Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act had stopped terror events.
  
 But Inglis� statement was new. Analysts
look �two or three hops� from terror
suspects when evaluating terror activity,
Inglis revealed. Previously, the limit of
how surveillance was extended had been
described as two hops. This meant that
if the NSA were following a phone metadata
or web trail from a terror suspect, it
could also look at the calls from the
people that suspect has spoken with one
hop. And then, the calls that second person
had also spoken with two hops. Terror suspect
to person two to person three. Two hops.
And now: A third hop. ... ...
  
So all of your friends, that�s one hop.
  
 Your friends� friends, whether you know
them or not - two hops.
  
 Your friends� friends� friends, whoever
they happen to be, are that third hop.

 Fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden today

is advising him, but that doesn�t
necessarily mean headline-grabbing

 Putin has said that Snowden can stay
in Russia, but only if he stops �harming�
the United States by releasing more
intelligence secrets. ... ...
  
 But while Snowden agreed to stop leaking
secrets, it could prove a technicality
since he has already said that he gave
all of his classified information --
thousands of documents -- to several
journalists. The most prominent of which,
The Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald,
told ABC News Friday that he�s not even
half done with the stories he plans to

 �This may look like a small release, but
it's actually huge. See, we hacked the
NSA yet again because we just love doing
that. These are DNS tunnels that are
sending encrypted data to and from the
PRISM databases. We have the IP's of
those servers. If you crash these servers
with DDoS, you literally render PRISM
"broken". We are also planning to release
some of that data (which we have access
to) if we can decrypt it.�

� Edward Snowden�s WikiLeaks Statement ::
  
 �One week ago I left Hong Kong after
it became clear that my freedom and
safety were under threat for revealing
the truth. My continued liberty has been
owed to the efforts of friends new and
old, family, and others who I have never
met and probably never will. I trusted
them with my life and they returned that
trust with a faith in me for which I will
always be thankful.
  
 On Thursday, President Obama declared
before the world that he would not permit
any diplomatic �wheeling and dealing� over
my case. Yet now it is being reported that
after promising not to do so, the President
ordered his Vice President to pressure the
leaders of nations from which I have
requested protection to deny my asylum
petitions.
  
 This kind of deception from a world leader
is not justice, and neither is the extralegal
penalty of exile. These are the old, bad
tools of political aggression. Their purpose
is to frighten, not me, but those who would
come after me.
  
 For decades the United States of America
have been one of the strongest defenders
of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly,
this right, laid out and voted for by the
US in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, is now being rejected by
the current government of my country. The
Obama administration has now adopted the
strategy of using citizenship as a weapon.
Although I am convicted of nothing, it has
unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving
me a stateless person. Without any judicial
order, the administration now seeks to stop
me exercising a basic right. A right that
belongs to everybody. The right to seek
asylum.
  
 In the end the Obama administration is
not afraid of whistleblowers like me,
Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are
stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No,
the Obama administration is afraid of you.
It is afraid of an informed, angry public
demanding the constitutional government
it was promised � and it should be.
  
 I am unbowed in my convictions and
impressed at the efforts taken by so
many.�

 Revealed: secret European deals to hand
over private data to America.
  
 Germany among countries offering intelligence
according to new claims by former US defence
analyst.
  
 At least six European Union countries in
addition to Britain have been colluding
with the US over the mass harvesting of
personal communications data, according
to a former contractor to America�s
National Security Agency, who said the
public should not be �kept in the dark.�
  
 Wayne Madsen, a former US navy lieutenant
who first worked for the NSA in 1985
and over the next 12 years held several
sensitive positions within the agency,
names Denmark, the Netherlands, France,
Germany, Spain and Italy as having secret
deals with the US.
  
 Madsen said the countries had �formal
second and third party status� under
signal intelligence (sigint) agreements
that compels them to hand over data,
including mobile phone and internet
information to the NSA if requested.
  
 Under international intelligence agreements,
confirmed by declassified documents,
nations are categorised by the US according
to their trust level. The US is first party
while the UK, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand enjoy second party relationships.
Germany and France have third party
relationships.
  
 In an interview published last night
on the PrivacySurgeon.org blog, Madsen,
who has been attacked for holding
controversial views on espionage issues,
said he had decided to speak out after
becoming concerned about the �half story�
told by EU politicians regarding the
extent of the NSA�s activities in Europe.
  
 He said that under the agreements,
which were drawn up after the second
world war, the �NSA gets the lion�s
share� of the sigint �take.� In return,
the third parties to the NSA agreements
received �highly sanitised intelligence.�
  
 Madsen said he was alarmed at the
�sanctimonious outcry� of political
leaders who were �feigning shock�
about the spying operations while staying
silent about their own arrangements
with the US, and was particularly
concerned that senior German politicians
had accused the UK of spying when their
country had a similar third-party deal
with the NSA.
  
 Although the level of co-operation provided
by other European countries to the NSA is
not on the same scale as that provided by
the UK, the allegations are potentially
embarrassing.
  
 �I can�t understand how Angela Merkel can
keep a straight face, demanding assurances
from [Barack] Obama and the UK while Germany
has entered into those exact relationships,�
Madsen said.
  
 The Liberal Democrat MEP Baroness Ludford,
a senior member of the European parliament�s
civil liberties, justice and home affairs
committee, said Madsen�s allegations
confirmed that the entire system for
monitoring data interception was a mess,
because the EU was unable to intervene
in intelligence matters, which remained
the exclusive concern of national
governments.
  
 �The intelligence agencies are exploiting
these contradictions and no one is really
holding them to account,� Ludford said.
�It�s terribly undermining to liberal
democracy.�
  
 Madsen�s disclosures have prompted calls
for European governments to come clean
on their arrangements with the NSA.
�There needs to be transparency as to
whether or not it is legal for the US
or any other security service to
interrogate private material,� said
John Cooper QC, a leading international
human rights lawyer. �The problem here
is that none of these arrangements has
been debated in any democratic arena.
I agree with William Hague that sometimes
things have to be done in secret, but you
don�t break the law in secret.�
  
 Madsen said all seven European countries
and the US have access to the Tat 14
fibre-optic cable network running between
Denmark and Germany, the Netherlands,
France, the UK and the US, allowing them
to intercept vast amounts of data,
including phone calls, emails and records
of users� access to websites.
  
 He said the public needed to be made
aware of the full scale of the communication
-sharing arrangements between European
countries and the US, which predate the
internet and became of strategic importance
during the cold war.
  
 The covert relationship between the
countries was first outlined in a 2001
report by the European parliament, but
their explicit connection with the NSA
was not publicised until Madsen decided
to speak out.
  
 The European parliament�s report followed
revelations that the NSA was conducting a
global intelligence-gathering operation,
known as Echelon, which appears to have
established the framework for European
member states to collaborate with the US.
  
 �A lot of this information isn�t secret,
nor is it new,� Madsen said. �It�s just
that governments have chosen to keep the
public in the dark about it. The days
when they could get away with a conspiracy
of silence are over.�
  
 This month another former NSA contractor,
Edward Snowden, revealed to the Guardian
previously undisclosed US programmes to
monitor telephone and internet traffic.
The NSA is alleged to have shared some of
its data, gathered using a specialist tool
called Prism, with Britain�s GCHQ.

� Wayne Madsen, Former Contractor for NSA,
Talks About Global SIGINT Interception ::
  
 A former contractor to the US National
Security Agency (NSA) has told the
Privacy Surgeon that communications
intelligence arrangements between the
US and Europe are much more �complex,
murky and far reaching� than the public
has been led to believe. ...
  
 He was particularly concerned about the
�sanctimonious outcry� of political leaders
who were �feigning shock� about recently
disclosed spying operations such as PRISM
while staying silent about their own role
in global interception arrangements with
the United States. ...
  
 Madsen also expressed anger over the
NSA�s hypocrisy over Edward Snowden.
  
 �Snowden is being roundly condemned by
many who say he had no authority or right
to provide the public with details of
NSA snooping. But what right or authority
did NSA director, General Keith Alexander,
have to provide information on NSA
surveillance at five meetings of the
global Bilderberg Conference � two in
Virginia and one meeting each in Greece,
Spain and Switzerland?�
  
 �Alexander claims he is protecting the
American people from a constantly changing
number of terrorist attacks. In fact, he
is providing information to elites on
the methods NSA uses to spy on labor,
student, religious and progressive
organizations.�
  
 �When Alexander leaks to the elites,
he�s thanked. When Snowden does it,
he�s called a traitor and a coward.�
