CyberPeace -not- CyberWar

gAtO sEe - In the last couple of days Gen. Keith Alexander has been pushing the Cyber War agenda. -The issues around warfare are very different in cyberspace than in the physical world, and the United States is looking into “alternative strategies,” said Alexander, while not offering further details. In another place he was telling us that the CIA will not use the new cyber laws to spy on our email. Ok so you gonna be a sheep and follow the word of the government. We won’t spy on you.

Alexander said “civil liberties and privacy can work harmoniously with cybersecurity”. Come on General your a nice guy, gAtO met you —/ you have a passion but every time you bring out —/ Oops there went the Power Grid, Oops.. there went the financial sector, scare me, scare me. I know it’s your job to secure our country to protect our nation cyber infrastructure. Don’t trample on our cyber right any more please.

Hay here is a solution for you use a Tor-.onion network-(any anonymized network) to tie your power grid, and/or your financial services. If you can’t close down Silk Road in onion-land your C&C for your power grid and financial services should be invisible to everyone except on a need to know. gAtO just save you 14 trillion in R&D…//

gAtO has not heard one word about Cyber Peace from any responsible government in the world. Everyone is looking for their own cyber posture, their own cyber weapons/ budget/ programs/ money// , but not one has said let’s work together to make it better for peace, guess there is no money in Cyber Peace. Espionage, spying is the job of governments why would they destroy their own tools, weapons and just tweak our cyber-rights a wee bit, for our cyber freedoms and safety, to protect our government and you -lol.

Here is a simple idea crowd-source our problems. The one major resource in cyber-space is number of people that can see the same message. In crowd-source we can give the facts and ask anyone to help solve city budgets, ways to harvest more vegetable/per vertical/ sq.ft. Ask people how would you protect our electric grid // you be surprised by the creative answers you get, OK some may be crazy but…//. It may not be the right solution, but the power of the minds of people collaborating is what this new technology is built for. FaceBook is about ME- Twitter is about the rest of the world- but the new winner is —/ Comments /— have become more important than the article-subject itself because the conversation within in the comments shows social communication and problem solving by the masses.

Let’s change the message to CyberPeace, everyone has a solution, but remember that all your comments are the new gold so watch what you say to that troll on huffpost— gAtO oUt

Latino Hacktivist on the Rise

gAtO cHeKs – http://pastebin.com/trends“>http://pastebin.com/trends – every day or so just to get a pulse on the hacktivist movement. One thing has change I see more and more Latinos getting involved in social cyber activist. Below is a break down of what I saw it’s good to see Latino nation using the social media for political dialog. As more of the world understands the importance of the new ways of connecting via the matrix, we will have more freedom of speech in cyberspace for everyone.

Let’s take a look at what my Latino brothers and sisters, si – Latina women are very much in the hacktivist roles all over Twitter sphere (#tangodown #dos ). Let’s take a look at today Sunday 1407 July,8 2012 -

A few post – goes out to the new cyber latino hacktivist and of course give thanks to Sweden and Italy brothers and sisters that have help the education of the spanish crowd-source with cyber hacktivist 101. But this was a big hit to -.MX Mexico is becoming a new cyber hot-bed for these cyber strikes –/ I have seen more and more hacktivist attacks at the Mexican politicals like MEGAMARCHA- against “Public Radio International” or their message../ mAyBe nO-sI –- it’s about the PRI Mexican Party, corruption and the protesters went for both, that party and the Radio noise that helped them.

Besides Mexico, you have a push at UASD from a few sources with the Spanish hacktivist–/ a -DoX from Columbia I think and a plan for the Olympics cyber lulz. From the Latino community this is a big show and tell on pasternBin.com – gAtO oUt

The Deep Dark Web -Book

gAtO sAy -mEoW you all- we have a new book coming out soon “The Deep Dark Web” and just wanted to write this as the foreword for the book, I thought it was interesting …//looking for peer review of book…write us

This book is to inform you about “The Deep Dark Web”. We hear that it’s a bad place full of crooks and hackers, but it is more a place were you have total anonymity as an online-user and yes there are ugly places in the dark web but it’s a small part of it. What it really is all about it’s freedom of expression, freedom of speech worldwide, supported by “us/we” the users of the network. It’s not controlled by any government, but blocked by a few like Syria, Iran, Ethiopia, China to name a few governments that want to deny their own people free access to information, to speak freely about their grievances and unite to tear down there walls of oppression.

Pierluigi and I (gAtO) share a passion for cyber security we write different blogs Pierluigi has http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/ and my site is uscyberlabs.com . We also write at other blogs and print media. We did’nt know it at the time but, we were writing cyber history as the 2011- 2012 cyber explosion took off we were at ground zero writing about Stuxnet, HBGrays, the LulzPirates, Anonymous but the Arab Spring was an awaking :

The recent revolution in Egypt that ended the autocratic presidency of Hosni Mubarak was a modern example of successful nonviolent resistance. Social Media technologies provided a useful tool for the young activist to orchestrate this revolution. However the repressive Mubarak regime prosecuted many activists and censored a number of websites. This made their activities precarious, making it necessary for activists to hide their identity on the Internet. The anonymity software Tor was a tool used by some bloggers, journalists and online activists to protect their identity and to practice free speech.

Today we have lot’s of anonymity communication tools I2P, Freenet, Gnunet and Tor to name a few. Why did the TorProject.org Tor-.onion network become the facto application to get free, private, anonymized Internet access. My conclusion is it’s humble beginnings with “Naval Research Project & DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) ” sponsored, maybe you heard of DARPA they kinda created the Internet a long time ago. The government wanted to have a communication secure media that would piggy-bak on the establish Internet. From my point of view when they saw how good this worked the government used it to allow it’s agents to quietly use the network for CIA covert operations (just to name a few alphabet soup government agencies that use it). For example a branch of the U.S. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs, and for security during sting operations.

Journalist got a hold of this tool and they too were able to file reports before governments agents censored their interviews and film footage. The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) got a hold of the Tor-networks and promoted it to maintaining civil liberties online. When the common business executive visited a foreign country (like China know to monitor foreigners Internet access) they now had a way to securely connect to their corporate HQ data-center without being monitored and giving away IP (Intellectual Properties). The Tor-Network became to good and the bad guy’s moved in to keep their illegal business safer from the law. The Internet Cyber-criminal has used the claer-web since the start so of course they went over to the Tor-.onion network because it works if you use it right and keeps you anonymous online.

With all this happening and the “Year of the Hack 2011” you can see why security geeks like Pierluigi and I became intrigued with this subject and we teamed up to write this manuscript hoping to answer some of the questions our friends, and peers were asking us about this mysterious hidden world call the deep dark web. We outlined a table of content and started to write about it in our blogs and the story unfolds from here to you. We hope to educate you on how this network works without too much geek talk (ok just a little). We cover the cyber criminals and their ecosystem we cover the financial currency (bitCoins) that is replacing fiat currencies all over the world during this unstable financial times. We tried to cover all the good , the bad and the ugly of the .onion network. We hope it will answer some of your questions but I am sure that more question will come up so feel free to come to our websites and give us a shout and ask your questions about the deep dark web…. - gAtO oUT

System D- Bitcoin’s Underground Economy

In Crypto-curency we trust. – I hate math but I like money – mAyBe sI-nO

gATO wAs- reading Forbes -Jon Matonis article about the shadow economy and bitcoins. The Bitcoin market is $10 Trillion and growing the crypto-currency is surpassing everyones imagination and why is that. System D is the answer, what is System D? It is a shorthand term that refers to a manner of responding to challenges that requires one to have the ability to think fast, to adapt, and to improvise when getting a job done. This can be applied to hackers, Anonymous, hacktivist and of course the Tor-Onion network. They are all System D and growing because of it.

System D is a slang phrase pirated from French-speaking Africa and the Caribbean. The French have a word that they often use to describe particularly effective and motivated people. They call them débrouillards. To say a man is a débrouillard is to tell people how resourceful and ingenious he is. The former French colonies have sculpted this word to their own social and economic reality. They say that inventive, self-starting, entrepreneurial merchants who are doing business on their own, without registering or being regulated by the bureaucracy and, for the most part, without paying taxes, are part of “l’economie de la débrouillardise.” Or, sweetened for street use, “Systeme D.” This essentially translates as the ingenuity economy, the economy of improvisation and self-reliance, the do-it-yourself, or DIY, economy.

Essentially, bitcoin is the ‘System D’ of currencies — global, decentralized, and non-state sanctioned. In todays world were Greece, Spain and the U.S economy are falling apart we now have a currency that is not controlled by one governments it’s control by the people, and the powers that be the bankers are really pissed off. This is why the “deep dark web” is being vilified. You hear about Silk Roads selling drugs and all kind of scary thing but in reality the black market is only a small portion of the dark web, but Bitcoins are a big part in it’s e-commerce and it’s not traceable that the bad part and the good part. You at home can set up a Bitcoin miner on your computer and start mining Bitcoins at home with a spare computer. It’s like a solar power cell on your roof top, or a windmill you can be in control of things again.

But the real issue is control! The bankers have no control of this new emerging economy. The 1% fear that if we the people start using this new currency we will diminish their power, their wealth and they can’t have that. Bitcoins are barley 3 years old and you hear everywhere that only criminals use it, it’s part of the bad guy’s and another fact that escapes people since it’s a crypto thing and we are talking about MATH they can only generate bit coins till 2030 so this is not the solution for a currency but at least we know where the end lies and we can make it better when nobody is in control.

History tell’s us that the robber (banker) barons use the same trick to spread rumors and crash the stock market in the early 1920, then they put in laws to get every one to sell their gold so they control it. We did have a currency based on Gold but they wanted this power and they payed the politicians off and got all our gold. Now they see this new currency and since it’s not under their control they want you to think it’s a bad thing.

Now a $10 Trillion dollar market will get these bankers up and ready for bear if they want to keep their power based and scaring the masses will not work when you can buy Bitcoins at any 7/11 or WallMart you can see that smart merchants are now accepting Bitcoins for the goods and services these early adopters will see themselves grow financially and hedge their bets on what is a winning worldwide currency. Governments will also go after this new markets because bankers have politicians in their pockets but this tidal wave of the new fiat currency will become de-facto very soon. Just in the last few months it has gone from $4.25 USD to today 6/25/2012 $6.28 according to mtgox.com one of the new traders in this new economy. That’s about about a %30 percent increase—/ now that’s a better rate than anyone can give you on your investment. Ca$hing -mEoW- mEoW gAtO lIke that….//

So what does it mean to the average person well if you have Bitcoins in your portfolio you will make a killing as Bitcoins are expected to go to almost $30 USD by Christmas time 2012. gAtO predicts maybe $20-25 by the end of year but I lost my tail in the stock market in 2008 what do I know. Well I know that In that time frame I had no control of the market and today because I am active in this field of Cyberspace and cryptology I can see the patterns and I trust Bitcoins better than USD or EUROs. ViVa System D: – gAtO oUt

NATO and Cyber WarFare

“The world has changed. Now we’re living in the era of cyber weapons”, said Eugene Kaspersky whose laboratory uncovered the virus, or cyber weapon, believed to have been used by the United States and Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear programme. From criminal activity, to international terrorism and inter-governmental warfare, he fears the worst and called for an international treaty to combat it at the Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms summit held in London recently.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen while on a visit to Australia this week said that NATO and its partners face increasingly complex and unpredictable security challenges. He pointed to terrorism, cyber attacks and piracy as examples of the global security challenges that both NATO and Australia face. He said that a cyber attack disrupted the Parliament House website two years ago and that Australian government departments and ministerial offices are regularly subjected to similar attacks. In recent months financial institutions have been targeted as well. “I am convinced that our cooperation should also encompass maritime security and cyber security”, the Secretary General said.

NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (NATO CCD COE) was formally established in May 2008 in order to enhance NATO’s cyber defence capability. Based in Tallinn, Estonia, the Centre is an international effort that currently includes Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, the Netherlands and USA as Sponsoring Nations.

23 NATO and six partner nations were involved in Cyber Coalition 2011, NATO’s main yearly cyber exercise. Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges, Ambassador Gabor Iklodysaid:

I am delighted to see so many participants joining us for NATO’s major annual cyber coalition exercise. The number of players and observers is growing every year. This demonstrates the high importance that Allies and partners attach to achieving better protection against rapidly increasing cyber threats and also confirms NATO’s recognition as a key player in cyber defence.

In February 2012, a 58 million Euro contract was awarded to establish a NATO Cyber Incident Response Capability (NCIRC), to be fully operational by the end of 2012. A Cyber Threat Awareness Cell is also being set up to enhance intelligence sharing and situational awareness. In March the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) was awarded the contract for upgrading NATO’s cyber defence capabilities. Private industrial companies will enable the NCIRC to achieve full operational capability.

On 26 April, Spiegel Online reported that ‘NATO Faced with Rising Flood of Cyberattacks’. “Each day, we are seeing up to 30 significant attacks on our digital networks or on individual computers, mostly by way of emails infected by spyware and sent to individual NATO employees,” said Lieutenant General Kurt Herrmann from NCSA, which was founded in 2004 and has been operational since 2005. A further expansion of NC3A is anticipated next year. It was two years ago, that NATO officially identified the danger of cyber attack against member states as a strategic threat.

Earlier this month, 400 experts from all over the world gathered in Tallinn for the fourth International Conference on Cyber Conflict (CyCon 2012) organised by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. The conference topic was Military and Paramilitary Activities in Cyberspace, and focused on aspects of law and policy, strategy and technology.

Author of ‘Virtual War’ and University of Toronto professor Michael Ignatieff writes in the Financial Times that:

Virtual technologies make it easier for democracies to wage war because they eliminate the risk of blood sacrifice that once forced democratic peoples to be prudent…Drones and cyberwar technologies are so cheap that it will be impossible to keep them under the lock and key of the sovereign. The age of the super-empowered, and therefore super-dangerous, individual has arrived.

Our cybersystems are now under constant attack and it is in responding to these attacks that they become more secure. States will have to allow the global community of coders and engineers who built and maintain the internet the freedom to keep the malware at bay and keep the system open for the rest of us….The new technologies are so easy and cheap to produce that the best international law and state action can hope for is to generate a limited set of shared norms to prohibit their most harmful uses.

NATO Policy on Cyber Defence, ‘Defending the Networks’ is available on the alliance’s website. It states that:

The 2010 NATO Strategic Concept highlighted the need to “develop further our ability to prevent, detect, defend against and recover from cyber-attacks…”. Threats are rapidly evolving both in frequency and sophistication. Threats emanating from cyberspace – whether from states, hacktivists or criminal organisations, among many others – pose a considerable challenge to the Alliance and must be dealt with as a matter of urgency.

A NATO Concept on Cyber Defence was first drafted for Defence Ministers in March 2011, which formed the conceptual basis of the revised NATO Policy on Cyber Defence. The Policy itself was then developed and approved by the NATO Defence Ministers on 8 June.

Cyber threats transcend state borders and organisational boundaries. Their vulnerabilities and risks are shared by all. Recognising the truly global nature of cyberspace and its associated threats, NATO and Allies will work with partners, international organisations, academia and the private sector in a way that promotes complementarity and avoids duplication. NATO will tailor its international engagement based on shared values and common approaches. Cooperation in the field of cyber defence could encompass activities including awareness-raising and sharing of best practices.

NATO is in the process of drafting an international law manual which will address concerns surrounding the prospect of cyber warfare, and how member states can best cooperate to mitigate mounting threats to network security. Publication is expected by the end of 2012. Colonel Ilmar Tamm, Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence said:

“Various states have managed to agree on laws that govern borders, international sea and air space, even outer space – but now we are faced with the task of adapting or creating laws and precedents for cyberspace…”

Speaking at CyCon 2012, Major General Jaap Willemse, Assistant Chief of Staff Command, Control, Communication, Intelligence, Allied Command Transformation said that NATO is not considering launching a barrage of computer-based attacks. There are huge political, legal and diplomatic objections.”…”NATO does not have the doctrine, command and control, educational support or other factors needed to run an offensive capability.”

Cyber Black Market- Underground Economy

gAtO rEaD -the FBI leaked an unclassified report 24 April 2012 Intelligence Assessment “BitCoin Virtual Currency: Unique Features Present Distinct Challenges for Deterring Illicit Activity” : – http://cryptome.org/2012/05/fbi-bitcoin.pdf – At that time BitCoins (BTC) were going about $4.25 USD per coin

as of Sun: Jun17 2012 it trading at $6:26714 a high of $6.52999 and low of $6.22130 check out – https://mtgox.com/ — and going up to $30 USD by Christmas

All that glitters is gold and he’s buying a stairway to heaven – with BitCoins mAyBe -sI -nO – more info in our new upcoming book about “The Deep-Dark Web” -

What are BitCoins -

Bitcoin is a new digital currency. By using proven strong cryptography, a new currency has been created for the internet. One of the key features of Bitcoin is that it is an open system with no person or authority that governs the system. This means that you can treat it like cash: nobody can freeze your account, no chargeback’s, complete transparency and more.

This new currency opens massive opportunities for the internet.

Perfect Money – Liberty Reserves -Wire Tranfer -Pecunix -HD-Money -C-Gold -VouchX -Cosmic Pay -MtGox Coupons -Boleto -Banco Rendimento -CyberPlat -Qiwi -Money Gram -CVS ?7-11 -Wallmart -BitStamps -Dwolla -BTC-E Coupons

GaTo use to support wall street back in the day from 1 New York Plaza. overlooking the Battery Park. Those were the day out of the windows we could see traders coming into the park at lunch time and score there powdered lunch from the locals but that’s another story… these traders will take a look at BTC and once they get a whiff of the virtual money they will strike and it looks like the commercial criminals are already doing it.

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/currencies/ - As you can see from the chart above While currencies from all over the world are going down because of the current financial world problems BitCoins are going UP-

Hal-Cash – from Russia with Love—Video – Market to Latin America

Here is an add for selling 100% anon visa cards with loaded BitCoins or whatever currency you want on them – by the way there are opportunities for -Now Hiring – money Mules and Drop Shipments scams for any sucker that want this kind of job- your a fool to buy this in my opinion they can sell you loaded Visa Card on one hand and Selling 100% Valid CVV and dumps of these card I assume but I’m a paranoid gAtO – I may be wrong – don’t try this at home kiddies—//

BitCoins are coming up and they are replacing the new fiat currencies especially in EU why because of the current problems in Greece and Spain – Below I added a list of -[1]Ways to get bitcoins… – As you can see if you go to these they are scams for Gamblin and all kinds of underworld stuff- BUT how many people play -Online Poker and other gambling games. Oh and these are all in the ClearWeb – Yes the evil Internet not the ToR-.onion network ..

Now the -gAtO fUnnY- part is you can go to 7-11, Wallmart and just about anyplace and buy into this new currency so it’s not illegal to use these currencies but maybe it’s me gAtO is to dumb to use these but many, many merchants are now accepting all these new online currencies – so maybe it’s not so

stupid If someone wants to buy my- 1972 Action GI Joe Doll why shouldn’t I let them pay in BitCoins or any other currency -

Now in the Black Market of the ToR-.onion network it’s alive and well - http://clsvtzwzdgzkjda7.onion/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1803&sid=4e3a4c75f43e3e82fe011d6c1e6601df&start=10 -

Now as you can see this is a boom to criminals to laundry their cash – but they been using FarmVille and other games to laundry money why not use this new untraceable money. I will leave the crime stuff for anther posting but I just wanted to give you all a taste of what is going on and what can happened with your money - gAtO oUt

How Does Bitcoin Work?

To use Bitcoin, an individual first downloads and installs the free Bitcoin software (client).

The application uses Public Key Cryptography (PKI) to automatically generate a Bitcoin address

where the user can receive payments. The address is a unique 36 character-long string of

numbers and letters and is stored in a user’s virtual “wallet” on his or her local file system. Users

can create as many Bitcoin addresses as they like to receive payments and can use a new address

for every transaction they receive.

To send bitcoins, users input the address they would like to send their bitcoins to and the

amount of bitcoins they would like to transfer. The user’s computer then digitally signs the

transaction and sends the information to the distributed, P2P Bitcoin network. The P2P network

verifies that the person sending the bitcoins is the current owner of the bitcoins they are sending,

prohibiting a malicious user from spending the same bitcoins twice. Once the transaction has

been validated by the Bitcoin network, receivers can spend the bitcoins they have received. This

process usually takes a few minutes and is not reversible.

(U) The Bitcoin software program controls the rate of bitcoin creation, but it does not control the

market value of a bitcoin; the market value is determined by the supply of bitcoins in circulation

and people’s desire to hold or trade bitcoins.52, 53 Unlike most fiat currencies, in which central

banks can arbitrarily increase the supply of currency, Bitcoin is designed to eventually contain

21 million bitcoins; no additional coins will be created after that point, preventing inflation.

Bitcoin was created in such a way that the clients “mine” bitcoins at a predetermined rate.

This chart illustrates the growth rate from 2009 to 2033, the year the last new bitcoin will be

created.

Underground Economy – basics

Reloadable Debit Cards

Basics

Greendot and other Reloadable debit cards can be used in an attempt to allow for anonymous financial transfer between customers and vendors. Vendors need to cash money out. They can accomplish this by setting up Greendot cards with stolen identities and getting them shipped to mail boxes set up with fake identification cards. Customers need to load money in. They can do this by going to any store that sells Greendot reload paks. Customers merely hand the clerk some cash and in return get a cardboard card with a load number on it. The customer can transfer this load number to the vendor via an encrypted and anonymous channel. The vendor then applies the loaded funds to the card via the internet. The loaded funds can then be cashed out at an ATM.

Security

These cards should be viewed as financial networks. The financial information consists of the traffic and the cards are the nodes. Reloadable debit card networks have a high degree of cross network contamination. One additional network involved is the mail system, the vendor is required to have the card shipped to a physical mail box. This may not be particularly risky due to the fact that it is unlikely the card is being watched at this point as no customers are aware of it yet. However it is important for vendors to remember that the reloadable debit card company will keep their box information on record. Another network the vendor needs to utilize is the telecommunications network. Vendors are required to talk over a telephone to activate the card. The risk inherent in this can be minimized if the vendor uses a burner phone. Vendors are also required to make an initial visit to a store in order to obtain their temporary card prior to being mailed one. They will likely be recorded by CCTV cameras. Customers also have to worry about CCTV cameras as they must hand money to a clerk in a store. Customers can not take adequate measures to disguise their identity during this process as there is direct human interaction.

Reloadable debit cards have a distinct disadvantage of being highly centralized. Vendors tend to have many customers send funding to a single centralized card. This means that a single compromised customer can compromise the Greendot card of the vendor. The only way to prevent this is for the seller to use multiple Greendot cards, one for each customer to be perfect. This is not very feasible.

If a malicious customer identifies the card of a vendor it is possible for network analysis to map out the financial network involved with this buyer. Records are kept of funds being transferred from a reload pack into a cash out card. The time and location of reload pack sales that are used to fund cash out cards can be determined. A single compromised customer can use this information to gather video surveillance of every single person who has loaded funding to the card of the seller. This may not hold up as evidence by itself but it is strong intelligence indicating that a person who has sent funds to a vendor is in fact a drug customer.

Conclusion

Greendot and other Reloadable debit cards are not a safe means of conducting anonymous financial transfer. The financial networks created by these cards are very prone to network analysis. There is an unacceptable amount of cross network contamination for vendors. The load points for introducing finances into the network are also under too much surveillance.

Tips

Customers can out source the purchase of reload moneypaks. Good solutions may include utilizing bums and transients.

Vendors should avoid Greendot type reloadable debit cards. If they are used they should be highly compartmentalized (different cards for different groups of people). Compartmentalization is not possible in all cases though. Remember, if a single customer is malicious they can compromise the entire compartment. This puts customers at risk as well!

Greendot cards are prone to being frozen. Triggers include typical patterns associated with narcotics trafficking; cashing out very soon after cashing in, getting payments from diverse geographic areas (geographic based compartmentalization of customers is suggested), particularly large amounts of money going through a card in a short period of time etc.

WU/MG

Basics

Western Union and Moneygram money wires involve a customer sending funds to a vendor over the WU or MG financial network. Customers must go to a location that offers one of these services and hand money to a clerk. Depending on the country of the customer they may be required to show identification for any amount of money. In all locations identification must be shown for amounts of money over a certain limit, usually $500 or $1000. Customers fill out forms that are specially designed for gathering fingerprints and are usually under video surveillance.

Security

Despite their many short comings WU and MG both offer substantial benefits over reloadable debit cards. It is easier to use multiple pseudonyms for pick up from these services, the number of pseudonyms you have is limited only by the number of fake ID cards you can get. Unlike with Reloadable debit cards vendors are not required to use stolen identities. They are also not required to set up mail boxes or make telephone calls (WU). The ability to easily use multiple pseudonyms makes it easier to decentralize and compartmentalize the financial networks. If a different fake ID is used for each customer, a single malicious customer will not be able to map out the entire network based on transaction records.

It is possible that a single malicious customer could use video surveillance and facial recognition to tie a multiple fake ID pseudonyms to a single person. After identifying the vendor in a single transaction facial recognition could identify them every time they send funding, even if they use a different fake identification document. This attack is possible but it is not likely to be used against drug traffickers at the current time.

One of the primary disadvantages of WU and MG is the fact that there are a limited number of locations a vendor can cash out from. Customers know the rough geographic area a vendor will pick up the wire from because when sending a WU or MG the city of the vendor must be listed on the form. This allows for surveillance teams to stake out a number of possible locations the pick up may be made at. These surveillance teams can be alerted when the target attempts pick up and then move in on the target. This risk is much smaller with Greendot cards because Greendot funding can be taken out from a large number of ATM’s distributed through out a wide geographic area.

Tips

WU and MG have a substantial benefit over Greendot in that they can be used for funding E-currency. E-currency can dramatically increase the security of a financial transfer.

Customers and vendors can and should use fake identification to counter the record keeping of transactions. Even if a vendor is legitimate customers may be flagged if they send large sums of money with their real identification.

In some cases question and answer can be used to remove the need for identification. If this is allowed or not is highly dependent on the particular area of the customer/vendor

Wearing gloves or avoiding finger contact with the forms can countermeasure leaving fingerprints. Using stencils to fill out the forms at a private location can counter hand writing analysis. However, video surveillance is something that can not be countered.

Note: Forms are designed to pick up fingerprints

E-currency

Basics

Traditional E-currency systems (LR, PX) are relatively complex systems of financial transfer involving many companies. Usually an E-currency system is structured as follows; a main digital gold company stores gold bars in a vault and creates audited cryptographically secure digital currency units. The main E-currency company runs a website that allows owners of the currency to manage their accounts as well as send and accept funding. Usually the main E-currency company is not interested in selling small amounts of currency. The main E-currency company will usually only sell large amounts of digital currency to exchanger companies. Average users of E-currency systems only deal with exchangers and use the main digital currency company only to manage their accounts.

E-currency exchangers are located around the world and they accept payment in various ways according to their own policy. Usually E-currency exchangers have no affiliation with the main E-currency company. Some exchangers are even scammers so be careful who you work with!

To load E-currency first you need to set up an account with the parent company. It is free to do this and usually requires no identification at best or at worst easy to forge identification. You should make sure to protect your anonymity when you set up E-currency accounts, at the very least you should use Tor or similar technology to protect from network forensics. Make sure the E-mail data you register with is no tied to you in anyway and was also obtained anonymously. After you have your account set up you will be given a number which can be used to transfer currency to your account. Now you need to set up an order with an exchanger, it is suggested that you use offshore exchange services. How the exchanger accepts funding is totally up to their policy, many accept western union and some accept cash in the mail. After the exchanger gets the funding you send them they will transfer E-currency to your account minus a transaction fee. From here you can either send the E-currency to a vendors account or you can cash it out and have it sent to a vendor via another method through another exchanger. Exchangers cash in and out meaning you can not only buy E-currency from an exchanger for cash but you can also sell E-currency to an exchanger for cash.

Security

E-currency can be seen as similar to a financial multi-hop proxy, the first hop being the exchanger and the second hop being the E-currency company. This can add jurisdictional complication to financial network analysis attacks. You must make sure to follow normal operational security procedures when using E-currency, for example make sure to use anonymizers when interacting with the digital website and use fake identification for loading currency if possible. E-currency can also be used to create highly decentralized overlay networks, further adding to security of both customers and vendors.

Tips

If a vendor accepts WU but not E-currency customers can use E-currency to send WU. After loading E-currency merely cash it out via another exchanger to the WU details of the vendor.

Vendors can decentralize their financial networks by creating new E-currency accounts for each customer. Although this is time intensive the benefits are very extreme and it is highly suggested. If every customer is presented with a different E-currency account it will make it impossible for financial intelligence to map out customer networks. A malicious customer only knows the E-currency account they sent payment to, since no other customers sent payment to the same account the malicious customer gains no useful intelligence.

Vendors can appear to accept any payment method an exchanger offers while actually layering the funding through E-currency accounts. When a customer places an order merely set up a request for funding with an E-currency exchanger and then present the customer with the funding information of the exchanger. The exchanger gets the funding from the customer and then puts it into the vendors E-currency account. This allows vendors to accept payment to any location they can find an exchanger in.

E-currency can be layered through multiple accounts prior to cashing out. It may be difficult for a legal team to prove an account that cashed out marked E-currency belongs to the same person who was sent the E-currency in the first place.

Online E-currency casinos can be used to cheaply add more jurisdictions to a trace and potentially mix the finances of the vendor with many others. If a vendor loads E-currency to buy digital casino chips and then cashes the casino chips out for E-currency to a new account it will probably make it harder for financial intelligence agents to follow the trail and can unlink accounts from each other.

Trust Networks

Basics

Open trust networks are potentially a great way to cash out/in E-currency. Assume that Alice has obtained $10,000 worth of E-currency from her customers. Assume Alice and Bob are in a trusted relationship with each other. Perhaps Bob wants to purchase several thousand dollars worth of E-currency. Rather than go through an independent exchanger Bob may choose to send Alice his cash in return for E-currency. This allows Bob to obtain E-currency with high anonymity and also allows Alice to cash out via a trusted node. This can present a virtual dead end to financial intelligence teams. If the E-currency was watched they see it go to Bobs account but they do not know who Bob is or how he obtained the E-currency. Even if Bob paid for the E-currency via WU and was on CCTV, the agents will not know where the funding was sent from. Cashing out of this system is eventually required unless the system continues to grow (Open versus Closed). Cashing out of a closed trust network can be done by Bob ordering product from another vendor and then selling it locally.

Borrowed Bank Accounts / Underground ATM cards

Borrowed bank accounts and underground ATM cards are useful for cashing out E-currency anonymously. They are also useful for taking bank wires as a method of payment. You need to be able to get the details of a bank account as well as a skim of the magnetic stripe of the ATM card tied to the account. If you can do this, you can cash the E-currency out through an exchanger via bank wire to the account you have a card for. You can now cash the money out at any ATM the card is accepted at. If you can get the skim of the ATM card, you can simply encode it to blank card stock for cashing out with.

I suggest not to take money out of the persons bank account unless you put it in. This will reduce the chances that they quickly notice you borrowed their bank account. You could leave extra money in the account as well, the person it belongs to may be less likely to report suspicious transactions if they are afraid they will lose whatever you left behind.

There are various organizations willing to offer ATM cards capable of being funded with E-currency and cashed out with at an ATM. Some of these services are scams and others are legit. Some require identification but these can be countered with fake documents.

Mule Networks

Mule networks can be used to help cash out funding. Obtaining a mule network is a difficult and time consuming task. The most common technique is to offer ‘work at home’ job offers. People accept the job offer and are led to think that they are working for an official company when in reality they are merely picking up money and sending it on. It is expensive to fund these networks and only very realistic for large vendors. It is possible that feds will accept such offers in an attempt to perform human sybil attacks on the networks formed.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a newer type of decentralized digital currency. The underlying system of Bitcoin is quite complex and difficult to summarize. It is suggested that you go to the bitcoin[1] website and learn about the system. There are various ways to anonymize Bitcoin transactions. As of 2011 June 14, bitcoins trade for approximately 20 US dollars per coin. A combination of Bitcoin and blind signature digital currency systems is likely the ideal way to cash in and out, however such systems are still largely experimental and developing. Additional laundry systems were available as a hidden services, however they have gone AWOL.[2]

Iran Cyber Problems -bad antivirus software

Iran Cyber Problems

gAtO mOnItOrEd – Iran Tor-Relays last night they had blocked all public relays so nobody could use the ToR network. Of course as long as you have private unlisted ToR relay people from Iran could still use the ToR network on the Internet. On the other side of Iran’s Cyber Warfare the Flame cyber worm – is still kicking ass and taking names in Iran. U.S and Israel have accepted the role of chief cyber warrior of the Stuxnet, DuQu and Flame. Some of the first cyber weapons ever made and deployed on a covert mission’s. Do you think that this cyber weapons did not use ToR networks to hide their C&C server never to be found??? So here we have a country suppressing ToR communication (and suppressing Flame, DuQu and StuxNet C&C ToR Communication) and being attacked by 2 of the largest countries in the world. gAtO would call this cyber warfare.

cyber war profiteers –> Who stands to make the most business ($$$) in this cyber warfare. We in the west have Norton, McAfee and other’s to protect our computers and business and government computer enterprise systems – but they cannot do business with Iran- We just had Symantec pull out of a deal with China’s Huawei because of a U.S-DOD contracts-/ a friend pointed to eset.com as the number one anti-virus software distributor to Iran./ When the Iranian government want’s to protect their computers they turn to Eset corporation for their enterprise cyber security support and service. So who are they?

Alexa the number one SEO company – http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/eset.com – shows Iran is their number one customer—. Why? Eset is based out of the Slovak Republic , Bratislava the capital of Slovakia. It’s not silicone valley – I never heard of a high tech center and educated cyber security experts from that side of the world— We know this area more for cyber criminals but now this little company out in the middle of know-where has some interesting customer. Those countries that nobody wants are becoming their cyber customers, and it looks like Eset is a growing business.

Eset – Contact info: – http://www.eset.com/us/about/contact/ – They have offices in Czech Republic, Singapore, Argentina and the U.S.A – —/$#@! – So the company that is providing the anti-virus software for Iran has offices in America, with American business as customers- gAtO don’t like that much that is why I mentioned it.

Anti-virus software controls every aspect of the safety and security of your computer, your anti-virus software has deep ties to your computers. So this little anti-virus company is now a world player. It could also be our allied and work with us.

From a business point of view – First of all I would fire them. If I was the Iranian government, Stuxnet, DuQu and Flame the same MO and my anti-virus software does not catch it -new business but, oh well if Iran fires them who else would step into this position. This show to gAtO that the old weapon dealers have turn to legit, cyber counter weapons dealers/

customers metric’s: Imagine the statistics from Eset on Iranian government sites?

As a security researcher I just don’t like that Eset is in the U.S.A if they get American customers they can maybe sell their stats to Iran. Security companies like anti-virus have a lot of power. Just a simple update and the new spy-ware can get in and turn on your camera or just record your speech in your house or office. I would stay away from Eset anti-virus software solution – just for me gAtO oUt…

We live in a cyber surveillance Planet

We live in a cyber surveillance Planet- On this memorial day I think of my brothers in Vietnam who never made it back, Chet and Monty never came back. Well Monty came back but half of his brain was gone and so was my friend who taught me to play guitar. Chet taught me how to get a girl to kiss me, while learning the pentatonic scales on my first guitar in L.I.C high School– They are the reason why I’m writing this today in their honor, in their name.

Chet, Monty welcome home—

- gAtO tHiNkInG- your OS is spying on you and so is your: application, your browser plugins, Cookies, Extensions, Shockwave/Flash, Java, QuickTime, PDF and DOC, XLS, PPT any time you open a document you leak information, you leave a digital bread crumb that they can collect it, and sell it on the open market and you have no say so. Meanwhile they scare you be telling you only the criminals use the ToR network, why because they cannot collect information about you, you are invisible to them and they don’t like it when you play there game by your rules not theirs.

silent information is being collected about us -in the cyber surveillance World

— cameras are everywhere you have nothing to worry about from these device -because your cell phone is your worse enemy, it carries more personal information about you than you think and they -business, politicians and law enforcement knows it. Just take a picture with your iPhone, the geo-location information and other data will be part of the metadata that is in the picture, that’s the way they caught the hacker w0rmer -Teamp0is0n growp- he took a picture of his girlfriends boobies…She lived in Australia and they traced it back to Texas and got him…

Higinio O. Ochoa III: FBI led to Anonymous hacker after his girlfriend …

In order to control us (the sheep and dogs) the political’s in their essence of powers that we give them, seek to extend the ability of law enforcement agencies to have access to all Internet traffic data, a power that they largely already have when it come to conventional telecommunications, or email services. But they want more and more. Everything that you have typed as a message: the identity and time of your facebook chats, your facebook likes, your twitter feeds and mentions too, the log of the visits to all web-pages, the clicks on on-line polls, the location data your phone sends to access on-line location services, the times and places you were in the same chat room with your friends, your on-line friends, etc.

Basically it’s like having a cyber policeman following you around 24h a day / 7 days a week, and making notes about where you have been, what you have looked at, who you are talking to, what you are doing, where you are sleeping (and with whom), everything you bought, every political and trade union meeting you went to, … – Traffic data provide an X-ray of your whole life, and the policy suggests they should be available to law enforcement and the intelligence services without any judicial oversight (only political review or police oversight). That is why the ToR network comes at a time like this when all this is happening.

Who Uses the ToR network:

Normal people
? Law Enforcement
? Human Rights Activists
? Business Execs
? Militaries
? Abuse Victims
? https://torproject.org/torusers
Governments

Here is a recent example of cyber covert war:

These are some of the covert-cyber-Ops that our government is doing. They use ToR network so the enemy does not see a .gov or .mil address, in the matrix you could be from Germany to China your information is confidential and you can proceed with your hacking at the enemies website and they will never know it’s you.

pOwEr tO tHe pEoPlE

May 24, 2012 Clinton Reveals Cyber-Warfare Tatics Against Al-Qaida:

Mrs Clinton said the hacking was conducted by the Centre for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, based at the State Department, with expertise drawn from the military and the intelligence community. The State Department’s activities are part of online efforts to stem the spread of radical Islamist ideology that stretch back at least a decade.

The US Central Command had a team that monitors blogs and forums, targeting those that are moderate in tone and engaging with users, said Major David Nevers, former chief of the team. ”We try to concentrate our energy and efforts … [on] those who haven’t been radicalised. The idea is to go where the conversation is taking place, using … extremist commentary or propaganda as a jumping-off point to people who are listening in.”

Evan Kohlmann, a terrorism consultant who tracks jihadist websites, said the tactic could harm al-Qaeda’s image among potential recruits but questioned its effectiveness on the ground.

”If you’re already living in Yemen and in a tribal area, you probably don’t need to go to a website to join al-Qaeda,” he said.

This was a lame hack in my humble gAtO opinion

We don’t need a total surveillance state- we already have one and they are monitoring us, and we are under cyber surveillance at all times. So escape use the ToR network and be a little more secure. When the Bilderberg group or the Skull and Cross or other groups of political/monetary influence meet their number one fear is that the mass now have a way for total anonymity. They (dogs) want to know what the sheep are doing, the need to herd the sheep is ingrained in their dna- to rule us- to protect us-.

This “ruling class” think’s that they can scare into not using the ToR network, telling us it’s only the criminals that use the ToR Network. The cyber surveillance world we live in is fracturing, and they want total information control about US, but not on them——— join us in the .onion network and be free from surveillance— gAtO oUt.

China Cyber-Warfare Capabilities

Cyber Espionage and Cyberwarfare Capabilities.

In 2011, computer networks and systems around the world continued to be targets of intrusions and data theft, many of which originated within China. Although some of the targeted systems were U.S. government-owned, others were commercial networks owned by private companies whose stolen data represents valuable intellectual property. In the hands of overseas competitors, this information could diminish commercial and technological advantages earned through years of hard work and investment. Intrusions in 2011 occurred in key sectors, including companies that directly support U.S. defense programs.

Authoritative writings and China’s persistent cyber intrusions indicates the likelihood that Beijing is using cyber network operations (CNOs) as a tool to collect strategic intelligence. In parallel with its military preparations, China has increased diplomatic engagement and advocacy in multilateral and international forums where cyber issues are discussed and debated. Beijing’s agenda is frequently in line with Russia’s e&orts to promote cyber norms under a UN framework. In September 2011, China and Russia were the primary sponsors of an Information Security Code of Conduct that would have governments exercise sovereign authority over the %ow of information in cyberspace. China has not yet accepted that existing mechanisms (such as the Law of Armed Con%ict), apply in cyberspace. However, China’s thinking in this area may evolve as its own exposure increases through greater investment in global networks.

Technology Transfer, Strategic Trade Policy, and Military Modernization.

The PRC continues to modernize its military by incorporating Western (mostly U.S.) dual-use technologies, which have also assisted its overall indigenous industrial, military industrial, and high-technology sector development. One of the PRC’s stated national security objectives is to leverage legally and illegally acquired dual-use and military-related technologies to its advantage. China has a long history of cooperation between its civilian and military sectors and openly espouses the need to exploit civilian technologies for use in its military modernization. In this context, the cumulative e&ect of U.S. dual-use technology transfers to China could also make a substantial material contribution to its military capabilities. For example, interactions with Western aviation manufacturing !rms may also inadvertently provide bene!t to China’s defense aviation industry. “rough its advisory role within the U.S. export control process, DoD will continue to identify and mitigate risk, and seek to prevent critical advanced technologies exports to China that could be diverted to unauthorized end-use or to third-country end-users of concern, or contribute to overall modernization of China’s military and defense industrial base.

Espionage.:

Chinese actors are the world’s most active and persistent perpetrators of economic espionage. Chinese attempts to collect U.S. technological and economic information will continue at a high level and will represent a growing and persistent threat to U.S. economic security. “e nature of the cyber threat will evolve with continuing technological advances in the global information environment.

Sensitive U.S. economic information and technology are targeted by intelligence services, private sector companies, academic/research institutions, and citizens of dozens of countries. China is likely to remain an aggressive and capable collector of sensitive U.S. economic information and technologies, particularly in cyberspace.

Civil-Military Integration. :

China’s defense industry has bene!ted from China’s rapidly expanding civilian economy, particularly its science and technology sector. Access to foreign advanced dual-use technology assists China’s civilian economic integration into the global production and research and development (R&D) chain. For example, with increasing globalization and integration of information technologies, companies such as Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, with their ties to the PRC government and PLA entities, pose potential challenges in the blurring lines between commercial and government/military-associated entities.

Cyber Warrior Drones of War

gAtO wAs – looking into the modern Air/Sea cyber warfare and came across these pictures from - cryptome.org this is really some cool shot and we can only imagine the future. In 5 to 10 years these cyber warriors may well be autonomous air warriors not just guided by man but under computers control. From Nato to the U.S everyone is getting into the remote killing machines. I think of SkyNet in the Terminator movie and we are not far off the mark.

Now add state actors hackers to terrorist hackers if they get their hands on these babies well the mayhem and destruction they will cause will make your head spin. The sad fact is as more and more of these remote killers are used, we will become more desensitize to the horror of war. The only reason gATo hates war is because I been at the killing field, I was in it and did my share and after the battle and the buzz wears off , the horror that I had just committed will haunt me forever. These machines will not. When it’s all a video game we will just go for the high score and go to the next level– gAtO oUt

Dr. Gregory Parker, Micro Air Vehicle team leader, holds a small winged drone
that resembles an insect, in the U.S. Air Force Micro Air Vehicles lab at
Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, July 11, 2011. The Micro
Air Vehicles unit of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson
AFB is developing small military drones, with the goal of making them so
small that they resemble small birds and insects, including some that will
have moving wings. The mission is to develop MAVs that can find, track and
target adversaries while operating in complex urban environments. The engineers
are using a variety of small helicopters and drones in the lab to develop
the programs and software. Testing takes place in a controlled indoor lab
where the team flies the MAVs and then gathers data to analyze for further
development. Reuters
