No 10 may like Whale but Firefox doesn't seem too keen. Clicking on your link, first I'm getting a warning that its security certificate expired in '03 and then a caution not to trust this site. Bearing in mind who's it is, the caution seems perfectly valid.

Indeed. In IE, I get a message that the website may "attempt to fool you". Looks like Bill Gates has TB pegged after all.
Most commonly used passwords on computers apart from the 4 most well-known ones (Love, God, Secret and Sex) are:
1. First name and last name, or vice versa if email address is in reverse, eg tony.blair@labour.org.uk would give blairtony as a password. 2. Childrens first name and last 2 digits of year of birth (eg leo2000 or leo00) 2. 'password' 3. Stress related terms ('deadline' 'manifesto', 'election05', 'arrestwarrant' etc.) 4. Soccer team familiar names ('spurs', 'gunners', 'hammers' etc.) 5. 'payday' 6. 'bonkers' 7. Current season when password was issued ('spring', 'summer' etc) 8. Obscenities, sexual terms - most favoured PIN number is '6969' 9. Old favourites like 'swordfish', 'backdoor' or the good old Sage 'letmein'.

I wonder if Yates has the clout to call upon the services of other parts of the Government who know about such encryption schemes?
If I win the competition, may I exchange the inflatable whale prize for a list of the names of those (if any) who may or may not have been offered peerages or knighthoods or gongs if the supercasino is "delivered" to the O2/Dome at Greenwich?
Such as been the scale and depth and - my word, yes - *thoroughness* here in Greenwich of the gagging, whipping-in, misrepresentation, disinformation, and suppression of documents, one cannot help wonder what on earth is on offer for these people's souls, in exchange for the tawdry supercasino.

Do watch yourselves: the Computer Misuse Act (1990) may apply, especially if anyone actually *succeeds* in finding a password. Not sure what the case law's like though. From the Act: 1.—(1) A person is guilty of an offence if— (a) he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer; (b) the access he intends to secure is unauthorised; and (c) he knows at the time when he causes the computer to perform the function that that is the case.
Bit a shitty poor set-up to make a fundamental mistake of not having a matching CN name in the SSL cert. What sort of sys admin monkey set that up?
BTW, my guess is that the US .mil would be using DSA now given that RSA has flaws and is not considered that secure compared to algorithms.

Don't bother trying to guess the user credentials,it's running RSA SecurID. The second, RSA server password is a random number, regenerated every minute or so. You'll never guess it, and ordinary password guesses WILL not work in it.This scheme is not unbreakable, but doing so would take a long time. A much more productive angle is that the machine is running IIS 5.0 as a web server. (Current version is IIS 6.0). Google for "Unresolved IIS 5.0 security vulnerabilities" - there are a lot of them. Breaking the machine, rather than an individual account, is much more productive anyway. You could see everything :- when things were deleted, what was copied where, etc. Back in the day, I'd be having a go myself by now, but I'm all grown up and responsible now. To those citing the Computer Misuse Act, and warning about various other Plod interventions :- ever heard of nym proxies ?
that should say "compared to OTHER algoritms" above.

Can prosecutions result from messing around with an email system that the government has assured us doesn't exist?
Declining to comment because of 'national security issues' is one thing - an outright denial of a system for tracking party-political matters is something else. And if it doesn't exist it can't possibly be cracked, can it?
But if it is cracked.... oh dear, red faces and brown trousers.
And I see Guido (in previous blog entry) mentions upwards of 100 users. Two may keep a secret - if one of them is dead, but 100? Who are they kidding?
That's harsh, Nappy Horseman. Who among us hasn't secretly hoped to wake up in the night underneath a lust maddened Cherie succubus?

Passwords would be computer generated and comprise alphanumeric sequences randomly selected via a computer. That is how the government systems operate. Every individual is given a code to memorise and they are regularly changed.
I notice that the press release at the time of the takeover by Microsoft says ..
"Whale is a leading provider of business-driven secure access products, including SSL VPN, application security and endpoint security offerings. A pioneer in secure application layer access, ... The company is headquartered in Fort Lee, N.J., and has international offices in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Israel, and representation in France.".
I would be very concerned about two of those offices. Are the "office"s in Israel or Fort Lee also involved in (out sourced)interception duties for the Department of Homelend Security?
If rumours are to be believed some "secure" networking kit constructed in Israel is constructed for remote monitoring and analysis(in detail) and some DHS monitoring is also outsourced.
AJC
ps. someone said (in another thread) that Whale climed that Mossad couldn't crack their security. Anyone who believes statements like that needs their head examining.

Advice to Guidos' friend in the met..
Has Yates subpoenaed the backups at labour central office. And interviewed the system administrators? Cos that's where the data is? Find out if anyone's been made redundant - they'll be motivated to spill the beans.
Yates needs to take those servers out. Oh dear, might mess up the grid a bit, we might find the 'get reid' emails to murdoch from brown.
everyone knows Bliar doesn't use email. As a barrister he isn't stupid, verbal conversations are difficult to prove (one persons word against another), email is written and can be used against you. It's the little fish that will get caught...
Also I personally know someone in the cabinet office who used to use x.gsi.gov for personal emails, since Xmas he now uses hotmail for personal stuff. Some crackdown maybe???

That has been the case till now, but brain-scans are getting ever more sophisticated. One day the police won't just be able to detect lies, they'll be able to directly retrieve memories of crime. That will have incalculable effects on society (not least on the police), but be warned anyway: if you're getting up to anything now that you shouldn't be, watch out: there's still an undeletable record inside your head (deleting memories will come later). It's big 'uns like Bliar who will face the early demands to submit to it: "If you've nothing to hide, what are you worried about? After all, the machine takes no record of anything legal."

Voyager - I gave up being infatuated some time ago. Pole's situation is fascinating. Brother close to Thatcher. Clever. Young Pole like so many others got seduced by Tone's Big Tent strategy. Clever and cunning operator which led me to believe that his 'cover my backside/long view approach' would keep him from taking the rap for anything. Idea that Yates has evidence of cover-up makes me take a long position on Pole being charged with perverting course of justice. Give many of us great pleasure to see him marched off since he would then screw Blair.

Yes and no.
The "Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000: Part III Investigation of Electronic Data Protected by Encryption etc" has been on the statute books for over 6 years, but has still not yet been brought into force, even though the penalty for (undefined) "national security" cases has been increased by the Terrorism Act 2006.

Having destroyed John Reid the Brownites have now put Blair well and truly in the frame:

It adds that the document is the first time the 'paper trail' uncovered by Scotland Yard has led to the Prime Minister.
What hypocrisy, Guido purports to be upholding the law but appears prima facie to be guilty of inciting persons unknown to break the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Hand yourself in to Yates immediately.

Asked if people had 'Hotmail' accounts at Downing Street, the PMOS said because of security access to such e-mails accounts was not allowed. The police had had full access to everything they wanted.

From this morning's independent.
Six plainclothes police have spent days in Downing Street downloading computer files, including deleted emails held in a special computer archive, which backs up all No 10 files. They also looked at email accounts used for confidential internal Whitehall emails.
In recent weeks, Jonathan Powell, the Prime Minister's chief of staff, is believed to have been interviewed again by the police - it is thought under caution - along with John McTernan, a Downing Street aide who helped to draw up names for honours.
January 28, 2007 at 7:38 AM
Anonymous
said...
The Scottish Daily Express reports that John McTernan was being lined up to contest a by-election in a safe Labour seat in Glasgow. But the paper claimed the plans had now been shelved as a result of his involvement in the cash-for-honours probe.
"All four Labour home secretaries were once talked of as potential party leaders. All four have now been discredited. And, for Brown, that is precisely the point."
...providing more money to lock up lags would undermine Brown's fast-diminishing reputation for prudence.

I don't want to spoil all this fun about email servers, but as Guido pointed out a few weeks ago, Blair has incriminated himself already with his statement that honours were granted for (Labour) 'Party services'. As some of the recipients have done absolutely nothing for the Party except lend or donate cash this is now an open-and-shut case. Yates did not interview Blair under caution because letting him shoot his mouth off in public has been far more productive.

The only one who can really give him the push is a confirmed coward who prefers skulking and plotting in the dark to straight dealing and honest endeavour. Not only that but he is probably every bit as deranged as Blair with an inbuilt hatred of the English to boot.
When Blair does go I fear we will be out of the frying pan and into the fire though I note Campbell has been at work with regard to Gordon, in today's Mail on Sunday.
No doubt Campbell and Mandelson will attempt to destroy him in the months ahead.

The Indy is reporting that Powell has been interviewed again, probably under caution. Managed to keep that pretty quiet haven't they? Absolute racing cert. that Powell will have rolled over and spilled the beans. The slimey git has probably managed to weasel immunity for himself.

Think the impression given was this was since Christmas, and therefore not yet in the public domain. Where / when was he interviewed ? Was he in his pyjamas ?

Is it illegal to breakhack into a computer system that does not exist? The reason why I ask is that its existance has been strenuously denied by the purported owners. This being the case, we should be able to hack away to our hearts content. They cannot cry if we get in and list a bunch of dodgy dossiers because it doesn't exist, they don't exist, I'm not here, I don't think, therefore I am not . . . . my head hurts.

Most commonly used passwords on computers apart from the 4 most well-known ones (Love, God, Secret and Sex) are:
1. First name and last name, or vice versa if email address is in reverse, eg tony.blair@labour.org.uk
would give blairtony as a password.
2. Childrens first name and last 2 digits of year of birth (eg leo2000 or leo00)
2. 'password'
3. Stress related terms ('deadline' 'manifesto', 'election05', 'arrestwarrant' etc.)
4. Soccer team familiar names ('spurs', 'gunners', 'hammers' etc.)
5. 'payday'
6. 'bonkers'
7. Current season when password was issued ('spring', 'summer' etc)
8. Obscenities, sexual terms - most favoured PIN number is '6969'
9. Old favourites like 'swordfish', 'backdoor' or the good old Sage 'letmein'.
The RSA server psswd may be a 6-digit number, which unfortunately changes every minute. That's how mine works anyway.

Such as been the scale and depth and - my word, yes - *thoroughness* here in Greenwich of the gagging, whipping-in, misrepresentation, disinformation, and suppression of documents, one cannot help wonder what on earth is on offer for these people's souls, in exchange for the tawdry supercasino.

Do watch yourselves: the Computer Misuse Act (1990) may apply, especially if anyone actually *succeeds* in finding a password. Not sure what the case law's like though. From the Act: 1.—(1) A person is guilty of an offence if—
(a) he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer;
(b) the access he intends to secure is unauthorised; and
(c) he knows at the time when he causes the computer to perform the function that that is the case.
Bit a shitty poor set-up to make a fundamental mistake of not having a matching CN name in the SSL cert. What sort of sys admin monkey set that up?
BTW, my guess is that the US .mil would be using DSA now given that RSA has flaws and is not considered that secure compared to algorithms.
Don't bother trying to guess the user credentials,it's running RSA SecurID. The second, RSA server password is a random number, regenerated every minute or so. You'll never guess it, and ordinary password guesses WILL not work in it.This scheme is not unbreakable, but doing so would take a long time. A much more productive angle is that the machine is running IIS 5.0 as a web server. (Current version is IIS 6.0). Google for "Unresolved IIS 5.0 security vulnerabilities" - there are a lot of them. Breaking the machine, rather than an individual account, is much more productive anyway. You could see everything :- when things were deleted, what was copied where, etc. Back in the day, I'd be having a go myself by now, but I'm all grown up and responsible now. To those citing the Computer Misuse Act, and warning about various other Plod interventions :- ever heard of nym proxies ?
And yes, the Computer Misuse Act does apply if you gain access by guessing. It is based around the notion of intent.
Of course using multiple proxies would help. RSA secureID is not truly random number generation either. It cycles.
Hack Attack!

Can prosecutions result from messing around with an email system that the government has assured us doesn't exist?
Declining to comment because of 'national security issues' is one thing - an outright denial of a system for tracking party-political matters is something else. And if it doesn't exist it can't possibly be cracked, can it?
But if it is cracked.... oh dear, red faces and brown trousers.
And I see Guido (in previous blog entry) mentions upwards of 100 users. Two may keep a secret - if one of them is dead, but 100? Who are they kidding?

That is how the government systems operate.

Falconer for the next Home Sec?
Their SSL certificate is really weird
I notice that the press release at the time of the takeover by Microsoft says ..
"Whale is a leading provider of business-driven secure access products, including SSL VPN, application security and endpoint security offerings. A pioneer in secure application layer access, ... The company is headquartered in Fort Lee, N.J., and has international offices in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Israel, and representation in France.".
I would be very concerned about two of those offices. Are the "office"s in Israel or Fort Lee also involved in (out sourced)interception duties for the Department of Homelend Security?
If rumours are to be believed some "secure" networking kit constructed in Israel is constructed for remote monitoring and analysis(in detail) and some DHS monitoring is also outsourced.

Advice to Guidos' friend in the met..
Has Yates subpoenaed the backups at labour central office. And interviewed the system administrators? Cos that's where the data is? Find out if anyone's been made redundant - they'll be motivated to spill the beans.
Yates needs to take those servers out. Oh dear, might mess up the grid a bit, we might find the 'get reid' emails to murdoch from brown.
everyone knows Bliar doesn't use email. As a barrister he isn't stupid, verbal conversations are difficult to prove (one persons word against another), email is written and can be used against you. It's the little fish that will get caught...
Also I personally know someone in the cabinet office who used to use x.gsi.gov for personal emails, since Xmas he now uses hotmail for personal stuff. Some crackdown maybe???
homecountieshobo said: "Has Yates subpoenaed the backups at labour central office. And interviewed the system administrators? Cos that's where the data is?"
Latest breaking news is Yates is to give lessons to his mum's mum about sucking eggs.
As if these petitions have even the slightest effect. Nevertheless, if they did, UK Daily Pundit’s would definitely be one worth signing. Personally, I’m not giving the fuckers my address.
“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ensure that bloggers remain free to comment on government policy, ministerial decisions, political correctness, Islamic extremists, the weather and anything else that takes our fancy, without fear of censorship.” http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/bloggerscode/
Isn't there some provision in the RIP Act that no-one is allowed to have a security system that the Police cannot un-encrypt?
Surely the Police will be applying for a warrant anytime soon?
Possibly caught out by their own invasive legislation. There's a beautiful irony to that.

I can spell Powell. On this blog J Powell is known as Pole since he and his brother Chas are inveterate snobs a la Anthony Powell and being thus named is taking the piss.

"everyone knows Bliar doesn't use email. As a barrister he isn't stupid, verbal conversations are difficult to prove (one persons word against another)..."
That has been the case till now, but brain-scans are getting ever more sophisticated. One day the police won't just be able to detect lies, they'll be able to directly retrieve memories of crime. That will have incalculable effects on society (not least on the police), but be warned anyway: if you're getting up to anything now that you shouldn't be, watch out: there's still an undeletable record inside your head (deleting memories will come later). It's big 'uns like Bliar who will face the early demands to submit to it: "If you've nothing to hide, what are you worried about? After all, the machine takes no record of anything legal."
Bollocks, and even if were the case our Dear Lider would claim false memory syndrome. Probably something else that Mandelson put into him.

This is why Reid has filled the prisons to bursting point (mainly with people with mental illness who shouldn't be there at all, but that's another story) so they have an excuse for Blair and co to receive a community sentence
To fail to provide a password to your computer records to a police officer equipped with a suitable search warrent is a criminal offence: specifically, it's called "perverting the course of justice."
Are you listening, Ruth...?
Voyager - I gave up being infatuated some time ago. Pole's situation is fascinating. Brother close to Thatcher. Clever. Young Pole like so many others got seduced by Tone's Big Tent strategy. Clever and cunning operator which led me to believe that his 'cover my backside/long view approach' would keep him from taking the rap for anything. Idea that Yates has evidence of cover-up
makes me take a long position on Pole being charged with perverting course of justice. Give many of us great pleasure to see him marched off since he would then screw Blair.
Why are we referring to him as 'pole' ?
I thought only his brother pronounced it that way ?

Yes and no.
The "Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000: Part III Investigation of Electronic Data Protected by Encryption etc" has been on the statute books for over 6 years, but has still not yet been brought into force, even though the penalty for (undefined) "national security" cases has been increased by the Terrorism Act 2006.
There was a public consultation on a Code of Practice last summer, with the Home Office threatening to bring RIPA Part III into force sometime soon.
The chances of Tony Blair getting the hang of using encrypted emails must be rather slim.

Tomorrow's Sunday Telegraph claims detectives have discovered a hand-written note from Tony Blair among new evidence that has 'widened significantly' the cash-for-honours' investigation.
It adds that the document is the first time the 'paper trail' uncovered by Scotland Yard has led to the Prime Minister.

The fallacy was that in someway Downing Street had not cooperated with the police, that was not true"

From this morning's independent.
Six plainclothes police have spent days in Downing Street downloading computer files, including deleted emails held in a special computer archive, which backs up all No 10 files. They also looked at email accounts used for confidential internal Whitehall emails.
In recent weeks, Jonathan Powell, the Prime Minister's chief of staff, is believed to have been interviewed again by the police - it is thought under caution - along with John McTernan, a Downing Street aide who helped to draw up names for honours.
The Scottish Daily Express reports that John McTernan was being lined up to contest a by-election in a safe Labour seat in Glasgow. But the paper claimed the plans had now been shelved as a result of his involvement in the cash-for-honours probe.

...if the stories of the Blair Foundation and Lord Levy being trailed as their fundraiser are true, then it's just possible that individuals may find themselves on Blair's resignation honours list, having already promised donations to the Foundation...(Leopard's, spots and all that).

These tossers live and die by the written/printed word, it's how they define themselves and justify their existence, so although there may be hard disks with peculiar gaps on them scattered all over the place, no way will every copy have been destroyed. Some smart-arse will want/need to be able to refer to who said what when.
Somewhere there'll be a file .....
I don't want to spoil all this fun about email servers, but as Guido pointed out a few weeks ago, Blair has incriminated himself already with his statement that honours were granted for (Labour) 'Party services'. As some of the recipients have done absolutely nothing for the Party except lend or donate cash this is now an open-and-shut case. Yates did not interview Blair under caution because letting him shoot his mouth off in public has been far more productive.
A STUNNING QUOTE OFFERED WITHOUT COMMMENT:
"I'll definitely be glad to be back WHEN (my italics) I eventually become an MP," says Recess Monkey blogger, self-publiciist and former parliamentary gofer to Linda Perham Alex Hilton on page 55 of today's Sunday Express. Don't even get me started on Katy Taylor-Richards who is pictured with Hilton. Perhaps other readers would like to share their memories of KTR's time working for David Davis and her huge admiration for fellow Tory MP Dessy swoon-maker Swaine??
Bugger computer passwords, etc., I want to know why the bald old twat who runs the Home Office has given the green light for the former Swap Shop telephone number to be appear on his departments advertising posters warning us all about employing johnny foreigner?
Does Noel know about this? Are the BBC that far up New Labours arse that they've agreed for Noel, Maggie, Keith and Mr Craven to answer the 'phones?
give 1 brit an ASBO, put him out of work, bring in johnny foreigner...
see SWAP SHOP
How Brown jailed his rivals? It's all making sense now.
We asked them for a new password - and they didn't reply yet!
I think anyone who gets in should get a prize.
Ive been reading Mr Bloggerheads on you Guido, - hes a bit loony isnt he? I have repeatedly owned up to being an oven glove puppet, yet he ignores my blatant astro-turfing! We need to know why.
"British Prime Minister Tony Blair apologized for the burning of the Library of Congress 189 years later on July 17, 2003
This man is a complete w@nker"
---
To be fair to Bliar: it was a joke in a speech, not one of his extra-sincere, quivering-upper-lip "genuine" apologies.

When will the Americans apologise for invading Canada and burning Toronto as Britain was fighting Napoleon ?
Still Blair did not point out how much better British occupation of Washington went than that of Basra or Baghdad
Does it really matter whats in the site??

You aware of this yet?

It's a sad and shameful fact that the Prime Minister of Great Britain is a deluded megalomaniac, a compulsive liar, manipulator and fantasist and is shamelessly hanging on way past his sell-by date. He postures and preens for all the world to see and is blind to the scorn and derision coming at him from all quarters.
The only one who can really give him the push is a confirmed coward who prefers skulking and plotting in the dark to straight dealing and honest endeavour. Not only that but he is probably every bit as deranged as Blair with an inbuilt hatred of the English to boot.
When Blair does go I fear we will be out of the frying pan and into the fire though I note Campbell has been at work with regard to Gordon, in today's Mail on Sunday.
No doubt Campbell and Mandelson will attempt to destroy him in the months ahead.
The Indy is reporting that Powell has been interviewed again, probably under caution. Managed to keep that pretty quiet haven't they? Absolute racing cert. that Powell will have rolled over and spilled the beans. The slimey git has probably managed to weasel immunity for himself.

Are you talking about the current incumbent or the one lined up for succession?

Blair is a Narcissist - Brown is a Depressive
Brown is a Depressive
But an awfully gay depressive.

One of my customers has got hold of a copy of the said document related to by the Sunday Telegraph, they have sent me a copy at Curly's Corner Shop, the blog!
Help! Get me out of here!
methinks Guido has gone away and left this puzzle to die a death

Psstt...the white knuckle ride is over.... Reid's back on the Johnny Walker.

they've made their bed and are now going to die on it. not alone, alas.
You must, I fear, be referred back, all, to Sparquin and the Glinn of Goodd.
Pete and Dud for mere mortals.
The Glinn ditched the cash, uselessly, and Sparquin ended up on the beach.
Did you ever get your lobby pass, or are you passing over that subject out of embarrassment? LOL.
Gordon Brown the paedophiles friend?
Reid's blaming Brown's denial of adequate funding for the crisis in prison places.
Let the battle commence....
The Daily Mail is reporting that Jonathan Powell was interviewed under caution before Ruth Turner was arrested? It was in their report about the deluded ramblings of PM who does not know when to go.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=432019&in_page_id=1770
Don't they mean John Mcternan?
chatterbox - no, I think there was a reference in the 'Sindie' yesterday about Powell/Pole being interviewed under caution - but it didn't say when.
Think the impression given was this was since Christmas, and therefore not yet in the public domain. Where / when was he interviewed ? Was he in his pyjamas ?
We should be told !!
anyone run a Nessus scan against it yet?
Is it illegal to breakhack into a computer system that does not exist? The reason why I ask is that its existance has been strenuously denied by the purported owners. This being the case, we should be able to hack away to our hearts content. They cannot cry if we get in and list a bunch of dodgy dossiers because it doesn't exist, they don't exist, I'm not here, I don't think, therefore I am not . . . . my head hurts.
I've just written to the Help_IT people (though lord knows how) to get my login details:
"Hello my user name is LordLucan and I have forgotten my password.
Please an you email my non-existent email account with the ghostly password to the never-was website that contains no incriminating evidence of corruption whatsoever because it’s not actually there please.

Strictly Off-Message

Illegal - maybe...
However I'll look forward to claiming public interest (the whistleblowers defece) and revealing all the documants and Emails I found as part of my day in court!
Maybe I'm being niave but Blair didn't lie when he said there wasn't another email system in Downing Street
The system you display seems a web mail system
Blair's didn't lie- he's using sophistry, he's being disingenious, he's obfurscating the situation,he's deceiving us. He didn't lie but he's still a deceitful bastard
