A note to Canada Big Brother AKA CSIS and CSEC (satire)

Disclaimer: the following is a rant re: countersurveillance in Ottawa.

To the nervous Nellies including the usual government agents monitoring my packets, archiving my web content, collecting my phone contents, and other things CSEC does "for our own good": Move right along. Nothing to see here. I am not worth the money and the time at all.

However, I recommend you monitor someone worthy like the late Ms Todd's ex-best friends and their ilk. They might still be manufacturing pornography, you know, in Grade 10 and 11. ;)

This is the truth but, as the Todd case proved, nobody can handle the truth because families would be torn apart and the children would suffer horribly, all due to the truth.

Golly gee whizz! I guess them CSIS got them some kiddie porn manufactured by a girl driven to suicide all due to lack of mother love, right Carole? :p

Anyway, like I said before, nobody who knows the case could handle the truth, so the mainstream media in BC collaborated with the RCMP using the premise that a poor little girl was stalked by an online predator. This was done to sell to the sheeple that the late Ms Todd was a victim.

This made me LOL.

Thanks for selling us a lot of BS, BC mainstream media. You averted a huge family crisis in the Lower Mainland and Central Fraser Valley, preventing massive unemployment caused by parents and their children unable to handle the whole truth, except on a very large stack of Bibles.

Speaking of which, had BC families actually attended church and read the Bible lately, they could avoid tragedies by NOT buying smartphones but buying old flip phones for their children. For the dumb phones are immune to simples hacks by blackhat hacker teenagers (mostly young males 10-24, with less than 5% young females 10-30).

Yes, I am implying most female hackers are never exposed until they finally stop hacking and have a good income starting from age 25.

How is this important to the Amanda Todd case? A few of Todd's female friends were inept hackers. The most skilled hackers have played the boys and made them cried. If you believe the myth that only men are hackers, then never forget Susie Thunder.




YMMV

Why Kimveeer Gill Shot up Dawson College

According to mass media, Kimveer Gill was the guy who shot a student dead at Dawson College several years ago, supposedly for being ostracized from his peer group for not being manly. This was the third shooting in Quebec going back to the soldier gone awol due to PTSD and the infamous Marc Lepine shooting 14 women dead at Ecole Polytech. All of these are displaced rage against parents incidents, and nothing any of these people said before shooting others is true. Lepine hated his mother, not feminists. The soldier probably hated his peer group, since military group dynamics is inherently patrarchal with several betas vying for the alpha position. As for Gill, regardless of his sexual orientation, he shot dead a female student, which may be viewed by feminists as following the trend of most murders of women. That aside, my speculation is that Gill shot up Dawson College because of the toxic environment there. Here is proof from the al-Khabaz incident last year: Speaking on the condition of anonymity, senior Halifax-based security researchers described the revelation that a confirmed ‘f** file’ from 2011 is still in place on a public facing College server more than a year after it was uploaded as shocking and alarming. “Nobody here can believe that, on the one hand, the CEGEP has the arrogance to expel this student … But, on the other, not even know about a publicly compromised webserver on its domain … In my opinion, the existence of an f-file that old and the events leading up to the expulsion of Mr Al-Khabaz represent a pattern of un-ethical and completely inadequate IT security practice at Dawson College.” “Shelling happens frequently on busy public servers – standard operating procedure in any professional organization is to assume the attack has successfully rooted the operating system and bleach the server outright, alerting anyone who has credentials on the box or website and begin again, usually on a new domain/IP and patched architecture.” “Doing otherwise indicates a complete disregard for the privacy of every user and every other admin on the domain as demanded by federal and provincial law.” Thus IT staff at Dawson are unethical and the administration are unprofessional.

Hacker Witch Hunt Violates Human Rights

With regard to the news that Dawson College expelled a student for violation of its code of conduct, I feel that businesses and government agencies in Canada need to distinguish between the different shades of hackers.

For Dawson College's actions proves that according to them, "all hackers are evil", when the truth is, blackhat hackers are evil, greyhats are neutral (neither good nor evil) and whitehats are good, and on their side.

Thus, their expulsion of Hamed al-Habaz demonstrates a rigid interpretation of their code of conduct and is one-sided since they chose not to hear him explain his side of the story.

Thus their expulsion of al-Habaz is rash and without merit.

It is obvious that someone in the computer security business had neglected to distinguish between the kinds of hackers out there for the sake of profit.

Let us hope that the owner of Skytech remains true to his word and makes good use of al-Habaz's skills.

However, I feel that both businesses and the State have been conned by certain elements in the computer security field since the current witch hunt in Massachusetts has led to suicide by two men due to Mass.State's justice department.

By being relentless in their pursuit of justice in the cases of Schwartz and James, the Massachusetts justice department is culpable in their death by suicide.

By threatening both men with needless trials that will inevitably result in hung juries, Mass.State has violated their human rights.

For not all hackers are criminals.

Quebec Portal Omnivox for Post-Secondary School Insecure

Omnivox is certainly not secure since it exposes network ports 135, 139 & 445 to the internet. Ports 135 and 139 are for netbios, and 445 is for microsoft network DS (NT server directory service)

It's just not good security for a portal to Quebec post secondary institutions to expose these ports.

Once logged in, the portal has the potential to access the user's LAN through ports 13 ad 139. The MS DS port has potential to access both the server's and user's LAN network.

Even though these ports are monitored by Omnivox's maker Skytech, it also means that Skytech also has the potential to access anyone's personal information e.g. to create a consumer list for future spam (ads targeted based on students' age) but usually to report security risks such as portscanning, which is not illegal.
