As some of you may have noticed, 2600uk.com has dropped off the face of the Google planet. Asking around it would appear that a number of other websites have also fallen from googles grace and, interestingly enough, each of those interviewed contained information on the darkside of Googles CodeSearch facility.

I swift email to Google produced no reply and checking Google’s cache of 2600uk.com lists our CodeSearch post at the top spot. With its frequent intrusion in to our lives not enough, could it be that Google is also trying to censor those with whom it fails to agree?

I’ve always said, “He who controls Google, controls the world”. Yet with the Google hole becoming ever deeper, it wouldn’t be ludicrous to suggest that Google itself will fall from grace in the not too distant future.

Update: It looks like Google has now relisted the site. Interestingly this comes as the CodeSearch post drops off the homepage and into the archives. Again, there has been no response to previous emails querying Google.

A bit of background information…

Terrorstorm is a documentary made by Alex Jones & Infowars; which sheds light on issues such as the NWO, 911 and past government false flag operations. This documentary is pretty powerful and as such has had millions of viewings on Google video.

However, Google has reset Terrorstorm’s place in the “top 100″ list over 4 times now, they have admitted to this in a recent press statement but it is still unclear as to why they have done it or who is making them.

This is quite clearly an attempt to reduce ratings and avoid it becoming as big as “Loose Change” and other such documentaries.

Its becoming increasingly clear that the government is stamping all over pro-freedom material in an attempt to silence and squash the growth of “free-thinkers” and anti-NWO activists.

For those of you who are thinking “So what?! Who gives a shit about crackpot conspiracy theorists” you couldnt be MORE wrong, the government is attempting to make websites that host videos require a special broadcasting license. This one act would fundamentally devastate the freedom of the internet and pave the way for many more laws to destroy the internet as we currently know it.

The “reasoning” behind such legislation is said to be in order to set minimum standards on areas such as hate speech and the protection of children.

Its quite obvious that they throw in “protection of children” to make it sit better with clueless pram pushing fools and tree hugging techno-weenies, they also link “hate speech” to terrorism to make that sit better with the supposed “pro-freespeech” MP’s.

As many of you will know, the U.S. Air Force is preparing to create a new command to develop techniques for fighting in cyberspace, how long will it be before security websites that provide exploits and exploit tutorials get shut down because they could “provide terrorists with tools to harm the national infrastructure”?.

Do you want to get shoved in one of the many opening FIMA camps for being a terrorist just because you know something which the government class as “dangerous”????

We must wake up and get involved in the fight for our freedom before its too late!

Trend Micro, a pretty big AV company have announced that thousands of government computers may be compromised with bot infections. Among those listed are the Department of Defense, the Navy Network Information Center, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Argonne National Laboratory, and the Navy Regional Data Automation Center.

Their research comes from the analysis of 60Terabytes of data from their Behavioral Analysis Security Engine (BASE), including a massive amount of spam email in addition to aggregated data from network connections on netflow enabled networks and dns queries. Some of the organisations listed have disputed the finding and research team is now rechecking their findings.

Trend Micro estimates there are 70 million hacked zombie computers worldwide and that each month 8 to 9 million are used to send spam. Also 60% of the compromised computers are primarily used to send spam, the remainder for more nefarious purposes.

From The Register’s John Leyden:

The Swiss government is “considering” the use of a spyware application called Superintendent Trojan to eavesdrop on IP telephony conversation, Heise Security reports.

Swiss firm ERA IT Solutions said it hopes to supply the Superintendent Trojan only to government agencies, a policy it hopes will leave it off malware blacklists compiled by anti-virus and anti-spyware developers.

Even if we accept ERA’s assertion that the use of the technology would be restricted to government agencies, anti-virus firms would be honour bound to blacklist the app if any of their customers complained about it.

As well as allowing VoIP calls to be monitored, the software is surreptitiously turning on the built-in microphones or webcams on target PCs. All this assumes, of course, that the software can be successfully planted in the first place - a tricky proposition without physical access to a PC, as HP leak gum-shoes might attest.

Altogether the plan seems fraught with difficulties, without even considering whether evidence obtained via such covert methods would be legally submittable.

Charles Gudet, the head of the Special Services Department at UVEK (the Swiss government department in charge of telecoms, among other things), told Sonntags Zeitung there’s no basis for using such Trojan techniques under federal wiretap laws (such as the Federal Post and Telecommunications Surveillance Act). However, local laws and federal police procedures permit the use of software wiretaps providing surveillance has being authorised by a court.

The following text is taken from Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com

Each time a new flash application requests permission to run on newer computers, you will notice that a privacy setting box pops up asking if the particular website you are surfing can access your microphone and webcam. Though the webcam is external, the microphone is internal and is a standard feature of all new models.

Now Google have announced that they will use in-built microphones to listen in on user’s background noise, be it television, music or radio - and then direct advertising at them based on their preferences.

“The idea is to use the existing PC microphone to listen to whatever is heard in the background, be it music, your phone going off or the TV turned down. The PC then identifies it, using fingerprinting, and then shows you relevant content, whether that’s adverts or search results, or a chat room on the subject,” reports the Register.

Google’s ceaseless drive to dominate Microsoft and reap untold profits has come at the expense of privacy as the company jettison’s its “don’t be evil” mandate and merges itself into a proxy NSA outfit, creating all the tools necessary for the state to suffocate its subjects under an inescapable high-tech panopticon control grid.

Yesterday, Google Labs opened up the beta version of their CodeSearch search engine, giving way to an influx of pro-hack comments.

The, long awaited, CodeSearch facility enables users to lookup chunks of public source code, something thats sure to put the fjear mode : ON into the likes of Krugle, Codease and co.

Of course, pulling serverside source from webpages has been a dream of most hackers at one time or another, and Googles CodeSearch certainly lends its hand in doing so.

Consider the following search queries which will yield numerous results for unchecked GET variables, which could prove useful when employing Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack vectors.

file:process.php "include($"

result: http://tinyurl.com/rrmh2

"include($_GET"

result: http://tinyurl.com/rdpl9

Not to mention the insertion of the following regex which outputs a mediocre 22,500 email addresses - making Google CodeSearch every spammers wet dream.

(Chris McClelland, of AJAXPress. stating over 11million emails from the string “@” - funny, we only found 9.5million, and half of those were not email related.)


^[a-zA-Z]([.]?([[:alnum:]_-]+)*)?@([[:alnum:]\-_]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

Further, Google CodeSearch could prove to be somewhat of an engine for distributing “bad” code to unsuspecting programming/scripting newbies. “Google Code Search could also prove to be a tool for malware writers to distribute their code”, Adds Google Blogs, Steve Bryant, with a bit of realism to the whole security issue.

Unfortunately it would appeat that some complete idiot has decided to make a sequal to the classic hacker film Wargames.

This time around Stuart Gillard, of The Outer Limits and Charmed fame, has been named as the director of the sequal to the classic 1983 film whereby young hacker David Lightman (Mathew Brodderick) embarks in a deadly game with the US national defense super-computer, thinking its merely a computer game and almost lending a hand to total world destruction.

Wargames 2 : The Dead Game, is said to be set around very similar exploits, a teenage hacker whose world gets turned upside after playing an online terrorist-attack simulator game against a government super-computer designed to profile potential terrorists. Consequently, all hell breaks loose when Homeland Security is convinced that he’s a terrorist intent on disrupting the fabric of society.

Pre-location photography is expected to take place mid-november, and the IMDB lists the film for a 2007 release, although details are scare.

The film will, no doubtebly, be a complete failure, with a quality somewhat reminiscent of Xena or Andromeda, perhaps the JasonX of the Wargames concept. Consequently prices of the original Wargames are expected to saw, with the exception of HMV where it was last clocked at £17.99

Perhaps one day Hollywood will stop pirating other peoples ideas, trying to convince us its something new and then sue us for downloading what is enevitably a bag of shit, and actually start producing content thats *worth* buying. We can but hope.

The US government has taken a step back from control of the internet with a new contract between it and overseeing organisation ICANN that came into effect yesterday.

The three-year contract, with an apparently significant halfway review point, has been heralded by both ICANN and the Department of Commerce as a sign that the US government has listened to worldwide criticism of its continued oversight role and has responded by providing ICANN with a new degree of autonomy.

However, experts disagree, with one calling it “old wine in a new bottle”, and another barely concealing his frustration with an administration that promised eight years ago it would end its role but now has decided “we will have to wait another three years, at a minimum”.

Terrorism and organised crime should not be used as excuses for passing laws which undermine people’s privacy and data protection rights, according to the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). Existing laws do not need changed, he said.

From The Register article, Peter Hustinx of EDPS: “It is a misconception that protection of privacy and personal data holds back the fight against terrorism and organised crime,” said Hustinx. “Current legislation does allow, for instance, law enforcement to check suspicious phone numbers found in a computer.”

On the 13th of September the United States Government Accountability Office submitted a document to the House Committee stating that the Department of Homeland Security had not been fullfilling their 13 key responsiblities including the National Infrastructure
Protection Plan and its responsibility to develop an integrated public/private plan for Internet recovery.

The GAO have outlined around 25 key recommedations to the DHS over the last few years, these recommendations tend to incorporate the following 5 points…

• Conduct threat and vulnerability assessments
• Develop a strategic analysis and warning capability for identifying potential cyber attacks
• Protect infrastructure control systems
• Enhance public/private information sharing
• Facilitate recovery planning,including recovery of the Internet in case of a major disruption.

Not only have the DHS not been fullfulling these 5 points but also a whole load of cyber security officials have abandoned their jobs with the DHS.

Either the DHS is run by a bunch of incompetant fools or the government intentionally keeps the DHS in a state of limbo so to ease the passage of futher laws which breach our privacy and liberties. Take your pick.
