Lits O'Hate - 01 Apr 2008 21:10 GMT
About ten days ago, James Harris was kind enough to share
with me the latest version of his surrogate factoring program,
written in Java.

James and I agreed that James would refrain from posting to
Usenet until I could generate my results using his program.

With a few minor tweaks, I was able to use James's program to
factor RSA-100 in a little over 172 hours on a 2.4 gigahertz AMD
processor running Linux.

Here is the output from the program:

Example

k_0=196616
k=285340

Surrogate factorization data for target:

Surrogates not factored : 91
Factored fuel percentage: 97%

Processing time: 619315203
Number of digits: 100
bitLength=330

I shared this result with James, but with his characteristic
modesty he declined to acknowledge its significance.

Fearing that this could mean the end of human civilization,
James asked me not to publicize the results.  However, I could
not bring myself to contain information this important, nor could
I suppress this obvious vindication of the true, living, super genius
that is James Harris.

True, RSA-100 is the smallest of the RSA challenge numbers,
but it cannot be denied that this is an historic step towards
James's goal of solving the factoring problem.

To further improve run times, I plan to port James's code to
the computer languages best known for their performance,
LISP, SNOBOL, and Phrogram.

Nice April Fools joke - Ha Ha!

I have been running http://www.alpertron.com.ar/ECM.HTM for 26+ days
to factor RSA-100.

I am not sure it will converge because it looks like it gives up after
40-digit numbers (I hope not).

I wanted to see if it was possible to factor this number on my junky
PC in less than 50 days.

You had to know it was an April's fool joke right after the very first
sentence:
"James Harris was kind enough to share with me the latest version of
his surrogate factoring program"
which he hasn't done even with the people who (in his half-paranoid
brain) he thought might be on his side.

It was a good try though!

26 days!! It took my pc A YEAR to find the 48-digit factor of a 109-digit
number. But then I had to go all the way to curve 48247!! Curves! Erm, I

The ECM algorithm is very inefficient when you have a number which is
product of two primes of about the same size. You should use MPQS or
SIQS instead. My applet (with the link given above) uses SIQS for
numbers up to 90 digits. After that it needs a prohibitive amount of
memory for an applet. That's why it took 1 year to factor that number.
With PPSIQS you need only a few days (or 1 day with new computers).

Hi Darío,
don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
I already read elsewhere that ECM is not very good for finding factors
larger than 10^50, even though the record on Zimmermann's list has 67 digits
(http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/top100.html).
I'm not a mathematician, and the math technology used is a bit over my head,
so forgive me for asking silly questions.
Doesn't/Can't your program switch to PPSIQS then when it finds that the
factor will be rather large?
Would extra RAM have sped up the calculation, e.g. 4GB instead of the 1GB
I'm having now? (That's on XP, not Vista!!)

You can't translate it into Brainfuck, JSH wrote the original in
Brainfuck - it is the versions in other languages that are the
translations.

Remember, JSH *thinks* in Brainfuck.

For those who haven't seen Brainfuck before, the best description is
in the Uncyclopedia: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

(Wikipedia has an article as well, but that is for wimps who can't
read Brainfuck.)

Program in binary, worse than Brainfart, but good for JSH implementations.
Translate it into ROT47, or LMC.

LMC => should be real fast too!

This is an amazing result!

Now JSH is finally over that RSA hump that was blocking him.

Only a short 6,192 seconds required per digit, think I'll sleep on it.

Increasingly though, both because it's possible and because it's desired,
individuals are caught in the broad net of electronic surveillance.

The experts can record and analyze all your communications at will.

SIGINT organizations in Canada, US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand use
supercomputers such as the Cray to select items of interest. The list
is very fluid and is adapted rapidly to monitor people and policy areas.

At any time, it is likely to contain names of all world leaders, terrorists,
drug lords, mafia dons, members of radical groups, labor union activists
and leaders, types of weaponry, explosives, financial dealings, money
transfers, airline destinations, stock information, international
conferences, demonstrations, and politically suspect groups and individuals.

As is the case with operations, countries maintain deniability by getting
information gathered on their domestic situations by allies.

Under development is even more sophisticated "topic recognition" which
can home in on guarded conversations that avoid potential trigger words.

Nothing and no one is exempt.

For example, you are talking on the telephone to a friend discussing
your son's school play. "Boy," you say sadly, "Bobby really bombed last
night," or perhaps you use the word "assassination" or "sabotage" or any
one of the key words the computer has been told to flag.

A hard copy of your conversation is produced, passed to the appropriate
section (in this case terrorism), and probably ends up in the garbage.

But perhaps the conversation is not so clear-cut or the analyst has poor
judgement. Then your name is permanently filed under "possible terrorist".
Weeks or even years later, you have a similar conversation and use the
same words; the computer filters it out again. Since this is your sec

the Waco compound came after she had "discussions" with senior

It is a "Challenger" type disaster, where public pressure caused them to
screw up. The same irony: they didn't want to look bad.

Janet Reno was asked to take off her "safety hat" and
put on her "management hat". She did. She's a good ol' boy.

   o Reno had NO reliable data from her FBI-referred military

is filled with fascinating information, highly useful for securing
   one's systems. Here's a random sample factoid from 2600: although
   on-site company switches are commonly programmed to block '900' number
   calls, there is a hole in the programming logic that always lets '555'
   exchange numbers through. ("Information wants to be free") Companies
   that advertise 900 numbers take advantage of this.

   For example, even though you can't dial most 900 numbers, you can
   still call numbers like USA Today's 1-900-555-5555, which are
   specifically chosen to get around the 900 programming restrictions.

   Oh yeah: I remember another one that triggered firm-wide security
   checks: 2600 described a hole in DOS that could allow others to
   execute commands on your system by virtue of defining function

it arrives at the
station.

This is the work of the Dictionary program.

It reads every word and number in every single incoming message and picks out
all the ones containing target keywords and numbers.

Thousands of simultaneous messages are read in 'real time' as they pour into
the station, hour after hour, day after day, as the computer finds
intelligence needles in the telecommunications haystack.

Telephone calls containing keywords are automatically extracted from the
masses of other calls and digitally recorded to be listened to by analysts
back in the agency headquarters.

The implications of this capability are immense.

The UKUSA agencies can use machines to search through all the telephone calls
in the world, just as they do for written messages.

It has nothing to do with whether someone is deliberately tapping your phone,
simply whether you say a keyword or combination of keywords that is of
interest to one of the UKUSA agencies.

P47
The keywords include such things as names of people, ships, organizations,
countries and subjects. They also include the known telex and phone numbers
and Internet addresses of the individuals, businesses, organizations and
government offices they may want to target.

The agencies also specify combinations of these keywords to help sift out
communications of interest.

For example, they might search for diplomatic cables containing both the
words 'Suva' and 'aid', or cables containing the word 'Suva' but NOT the
word 'consul' (to avoid the masses of routine consular communications).

It is these sets of words and numbers (and combinations of them), under a
particular category, that are plac

Anyone remember the scare ads that got crooked Nixon elected over Humphrey?

This constant 1984 state of war has caused massive damage to our country.

Picture what life would be like without the constant hysteria.

If you can. It's been so long.

You are sitting back on your porch, sipping a cold one, smoking a warm

You home was still your castle.

Picture yourself as the monitored group.

Shortly after starting out, they were pulled over by police for a search.

Not one, but two squad cars came to do the search.

Because they crossed lanes while going through an intersection.

If you are white, when was the last time two squad cars searched your
vehicle inch-by-inch because you crossed lanes while passing through
an intersection? Never happened to me.

The police were recorded saying a container they found "probably had drugs"
in it. It was a make-up container. [All you little people are probably guilty]

When ABC asked the police chief later why they were pulled over,
he said for crossing lanes while going through an intersection.

ABC's cameras then showed cars doing that constantly at the same intersection.
They said they counted hundreds the same night.

The police chief then tacitly admitted they
were pulling over black people on purpose.

   In our world, where a Vietnam village can be destroyed so it can be
   saved; where the President names the latest thing in nuclear missiles
   "Peacekeeper"---in such a world, can the Orwellian vision be very far
   away?

   Big Brother's ears have plugs in them right now (or they are, by law,
   supposed to), at least on the domestic telephone and cable traffic.

   But the National Security Agency's ability to monitor microwave
   transmissions, to scoop out of the air VAST numbers of communications,
   including telephone conversations, store them in computers, play them
   back later, has a truly frightening potential for abuse.

   George Orwell issued a warning.

   He told us that freedom is too much taken for granted, that it needs to
   be carefully watched and protected. His last word on the subject was a
   plea to his readers: "Don't let it happen. It depends on you."

1984 means a constant State of War.

Here's a new war: "cyberwar".

#  "Head of CIA Plans Center To Protect Federal Computers"

#  John Deutch, Director of the CIA, is building a "cyberwar" center in the NSA.

#  Mr. Deutch said cyberwar could become a 21st-century national security threat

#  "The electron," Mr. Deutch warned, "is the ultimate precision-guided weapon."

Haven't I heard bad dialogue like this on Mystery Science Theater 3000?

It is simply another in an endless series of requests for funding, for misuse
of our tax money.

government uses these "wars" to claim ever greater power over us.

To justify violent no-knock searches by agents not even carrying warrants.

To justify killing the 'exclusion rule' to protect police not citizens.

To justify draconian asset forfeiture laws.

To justify using deadly force.

It's no longer the 1920s, but our government still has reefer madness.

In another astonishing case of corruption due to Congressional asset
forfeiture laws, and yet another violent result of marijuana's Schedule
I Substances classification:

   ABC news: the Parks Department wanted a prime piece of land called
   "Trail's End". It was owned by a private family. They refused to sell.

   The reporter is in the helicopter with the agent who identified marijuana
   growing on the property from an identical helicopter fly-over.

   The agent said he specializes in that sort of thing, and he was flown
   over the property for an evaluation.

   He told the other federal agents that he could not determine that there
   was any.

   The G-MEN flew him over again: "they pressured me to change my evaluation,
   and I did, even though I couldn't detect any marijuana. They got me to
   say 'maybe I see some for sure'."

   A large multi-departmental group of federal and county agents stormed the
   house, and shot the male owner to death.

   The widow continues to live there.

   Before moving in, law enforcement had the property appraised for its value.

   Eventually, the county admitted it wanted the property.

This is our Drug War for national security reasons.

The government now says it regrets calling it a Drug War.

Hate), causing the erroneous public perception
crime is out of control.

Anyone remember the scare ads that got crooked Nixon elected over Humphrey?

This constant 1984 state of war has caused massive damage to our country.

Picture what life would be like without the constant hysteria.

If you can. It's been so long.

You are sitting back on your porch, sipping a cold one, smoking a warm
one, whatever.

Relaxed, calm, at peace.

You home was still your castle.

Peace.

  o All Americans must allow companies to withdraw fluids from their bodies

  o Libraries are checked to see if you are looking at
    the wrong kind of books. Read the wrong book and
    the government will call you a 'potential terrorist'
    in court.

  o Studies on the feasibility of monitoring all bank
    transactions in real-time are ordered. ("So we can

    Recommendation to proceed is given by law enforcement.

       - suspicionless searches of cars (NJ, for example)

overseas staff training, postings and exchanges. In
the early 1990s the GCSB began conducting its own training courses, teaching
them the special procedures and regulations governing the production of
signals intelligence reports for the UKUSA network.

It is at these courses where the analysts are told about the UKUSA agreement,
which is described by senior staff as the 'foundation stone' of all the
arrangements with the 'partner' agencies.

P110 The GCSB introduces the new trainees to the world of codebreaking by
advising them to read two of the greatest exposes of signals intelligence:
James Bamford's 'The Puzzle Palace' and David Kahn's 'The Code Breakers'.

P22
In 1984, Glen Singleton of the NSA was formally appointed GCSB's Deputy
Director of Policy and Plans. Having an American inside the GCSB serving as
a foreign liaison officer would be one thing: allowing an officer from another
country to direct policy and planning seems extraordinary.

[ Unless you think of the NSA as the New World Order. ]

P28-29
Intelsat 7s can carry 90,000 individual phone or fax circuits at once. All
'written' messages are currently exploited by the GCSB. The other UKUSA
agencies monitor phone calls as well.

The key to interception of satellite communications is powerful computers that
search through these masses of messages for ones of interest.

The intercept stations take in millions of messages intended for the
legitimate earth stations served by the satellite and then use computers
to search for pre-programmed addresses and keywords.

In this way they select out manageable numbers (hundreds or thousands) of
messages to be searched through and read by the intelligence analysis staff.

Many people are vaguely aware that a lot of spying occurs, maybe even on them,
but how do we judge if it is ub
