Book Report On Holes

Book review: Surveillance or Security?

But, argues Susan Landau , a former Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, now a fellow at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, you can't build surveillance into networks without also poking some very serious security holes in them. Unlike the telephone network, which was built for control, the internet was built with very different goals in mind: information sharing, bandwidth sharing and robustness in the event of generalised attacks. Or, as Landau quotes former NSA director Brian Snow as saying, the internet was designed "assuming random malice rather than targeted attacks". The trouble started in 1988. Before then, everyone who used the internet was able to trust each other: they were all researchers with common goals. Then came the 1988 Internet worm , which traversed the Net, replicating itself on each new machine. Overall, it paralysed perhaps a third of the internet that existed at the time. It was the first time the internet made headlines — and probably the first time the mainstream heard of its existence. The protocols written by Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn (building on work from a number of sources) have held up remarkably well through the internet's commercialisation and mass expansion. But security is still not part of its fundamental design. And yet security is a key issue with respect to long-distance communications: the risks of interception are as old as the written word and as new as Groupon's absurd IPO . Osama bin Laden knew this and avoided email and all other electronic media that might give away his location. Ironically, that turned out to be one of the pointers that led to his capture: intelligence reports noted the oddity of a $1 million house with no telephone or internet connections and began looking more closely at its occupants. The controlled structure of the telephone network made wiretapping a relatively easy thing to do, as Landau and public-key cryptography inventor Whitfield Diffie documented in their book Privacy on the Line: the History and Politics of Wiretapping . But the internet's decentralised, open nature makes it much harder. Give the masses a $40 internet connection and a PC with which they can create havoc, add in strong encryption — an important part of the solution for securing and authenticating internet traffic — and what's a government to do? Why, pass laws, of course.

'The Big Lie': 9/11 Truther Comic Book To Be Released (VIDEO ...

She rushes to his office at a risk-management consulting agency, but since she has aged 10 years, Carl can’t quite accept that it’s her. And even though she brings evidence on her iPad, neither her spouse nor his co-workers believe her warnings.”The meat of the story is her trying to convince these ‘experts’ that the terrorist attack is about to happen,” Veitch says. “So it’s essentially a taut emotional drama with the facts and questions surrounding 9/11 sewed into it.”

“Reading the 9/11 Commission Report, it’s pretty clear that a lot of important evidence about the lead-up to the attacks and the collapse of the towers was ignored or glossed over,” Veitch says. “And I’m pretty angry about the aftermath: how Iraq was invaded based on false intelligence and the occupation mismanaged resulting in over 100,000 civilian deaths.”

“If one scratches the surface of the commission report, one finds huge holes in the official story. There’s also a lot of disinformation out there and oddball conspiracy theories that need to be debunked. People who are paying attention are asking for a real in-depth investigation into all these nagging questions. That’s what our book is all about.”

The series was originally conceived of by Brian Romanoff, who set up Truth Be Told Comics in order to help raise funds to pay for the comic. He also runs the 9/11 Truther site NorCalTruth.org .

“It is in the name of truth and justice for the victims of 9/11 and their family members, that we are committed to sharing the truth about what occurred on September 11th. Truth Be Told Comics (TBT) was formed to facilitate the project of getting critical 9/11 information before the huge number of comic readers across America and the world,” Romanoff writes on the Truth Be Told site.

“Our goal is to present the most obvious elements of the 9/11 crimes and cover-up: the multiple advanced warnings, the multiple war-games on the day of, our missing air defense system, the demolitions of the WTC towers, 9/11 Commission Report and more.
