Big Brother on a budget: How Internet surveillance got so cheap Deep packet inspection, petabyte-scale analytics create a "CCTV for networks." by Sean Gallagher <http://arstechnica.com/author/sean-gallagher/> - Aug 29 2012, 3:00am CEST When Libyan rebels finally wrested control of the country last year away from its mercurial dictator, they discovered the Qaddafi regime had received an unusual gift from its allies: foreign firms had supplied technology that allowed security forces to track nearly all of the online activities <http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904199404576538721260166388.h…> of the country's 100,000 Internet users. That technology, supplied by a subsidiary of the French IT firm Bull, used a technique called deep packet inspection (DPI) to capture e-mails, chat messages, and Web visits of Libyan citizens. The fact that the Qaddafi regime was using deep packet inspection technology wasn't surprising. Many governments have invested heavily in packet inspection and related technologies, which allow them to build a picture of what passes through their networks and what comes in from beyond their borders. The tools secure networks from attack---and help keep tabs on citizens. [...] Continua qui: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/08/big-brother-meets-big… juan carlos

"Il software libero ha la priorità. Per legge!" http://www.apogeonline.com/webzine/2012/08/29/il-software-libero-ha-la-prio… Mio recente articolo con qualche riflessione (anche sarcastica) sulla modifica dell'art. 68 del Codice dell'amministrazione digitale avvenuta con la legge 134 del 7 agosto 2012. Ho realizzato anche una versione ridotta in inglese nel caso qualcuno volesse far circolare la notizia in circuiti internazionali: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2012/08/free-and-open-source-software-takes.ht… Un caro saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org

Fwd: [IP] Susan Crawford on ISPs as utilities

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IP] Susan Crawford on ISPs as utilities Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 14:35:24 -0400 From: Dave Farber <dave(a)farber.net> Reply-To: dave(a)farber.net To: ip <ip(a)listbox.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Joly MacFie* Date: Monday, August 27, 2012 Subject: [OIA] Susan Crawford on ISPs as utilities To: Bruce Kushnick <oia(a)lists.bway.net <mailto:oia@lists.bway.net>> http://www.wired.com/business/2012/08/california-faces-an-information-state… Fundamentally, the carriers claim that they’re “speakers” under the First Amendment – just like /The New York Times/ – and that therefore any regulation of them is unconstitutional. This is a breathtaking assertion that you will hear them repeat over and over again in the coming years. It is emphatically not true. They are utilities, like water and electricity, whose facilities were built using public assets and are subject to oversight and regulation. Both Congress and the state Legislatures have the power to tell them what to do. Without this oversight, none of the online companies in California would have been founded. The speech of three hundred million citizens in America is what’s important, not that of a handful of network owners. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 <tel:218%20565%209365> Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now> <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/14798382-eb93fc78> | Modify <https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=14798382&id_secret=14798382-58a8a…> Your Subscription | Unsubscribe Now <https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=14798382&id_secret=14798382-…> [Powered by Listbox] <http://www.listbox.com>
