It is only the TRUTH that can make a man LIVE. The truth has been branded OUTLAWED & ILLEGAL. It is DANGEROUS to have the truth in your possession. You can be found GUILTY and sentenced to DEATH. My words are the TRUTH and the truth causes OFFENSE. I DON'T CARE what men want to say about me BECAUSE WITHOUT THE TRUTH THERE IS NO CONSCIOUSNESS." Source, unknown. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell Each and every chapter of this Matrix Report should be covered extensively as its own book, it’s own report, in order to give each chapter it’s full in depth coverage they individually deserve. But due to the nature of this report’s purpose to basically provide an overall cohesive overview and structure of the matrix, this work must be done as just one report at this point in time. Each and every single paragraph herein has been painstakingly researched, verified and often reviewed dozens of times for validity for it to be included in this work. I wish I could source all the material herein, but due to the fact that almost every single sentence could have up to dozens of source links, it would be a monumental task and take me an additional couple years just in listing sources. This entire report, has taken 3 years just to reach draft version 1.0 stage and still, I am not yet satisfied with the overall comprehensiveness or the extent of clarity in describing key points, therefore, expect further, more thorough drafts in the future (any help and constructive input is also welcomed). Again, I cannot stress enough how I wish I had the luxury of providing literally dozens upon dozens of source proofs to every sentence that is written here, but this report would become another 1,000 pages longer in doing so and take me 2 or 3 years longer to complete, with that in mind look at the very few links and videos listed here and there as mere examples of points I am trying to elaborate on, and if you have any doubts or want more info please look into the matter at hand further. All I can do at this point in time is wish and hope that everyone that reads this report will actually take it upon themselves to initiate their own fact finding mission and verify everything I say here. Behold: for I come forth, speaking not for myself but for the authority vested in me, for the time has come for all to know the full extent of what was, what is and is yet to come The “powers that be” have been proceeding cautiously due to what has been emerging as a “truth movement.” For only TRUTH can expose all and derail their best laid plans. Therefore you have been witnessing a massive concerted effort to discredit, ridicule, mock, scorn, rebuke, attack, and even imprison those of us who dare come forth to reveal the TRUTH to the world. One need look no further than the recent A&E FBI show which portrays 9/11 truthers as DOPE SMOKING TERRORISTs, for a perfect example of the lengths that “big brother” will go to alienate and distance the public to the TRUTH. As more and more biased “programs” such as that TV show are aired, the general public, subject to the constant barrage of misleading propaganda critical of the “truth movement” combined with the phenomena of group (follow the crowd) mentality, naturally turns away from the ridiculed (TRUTH) subject matter. Such are the forces we are up against. The information we are going to be revealing here is of such a nature that an over whelming majority of the people will refuse to even consider the general message. Our message is so heart breaking, so devastating, so alarming, so profoundly disturbing that many people will not, CAN NOT, psychologically accept it, for the message goes against what you have been PROGRAMED to believe. The knowledge we present can and will shake the very foundation of your beliefs about the world you live in. From the days even before you were a child in school holding your right hand to your heart, the indoctrination began, pledging unwavering "allegiance to the flag" on a daily basis. Get in line, single file, obey those in authority. Oh the blemish free, wonderful fairy tale like, magnificent country we have been taught to blindly believe in. How blessed and benevolent art thou! Many people will try and find any little piece of info that has any little flaw in it so that they can use that little flaw to dismiss and discredit the entirety of the facts being presented here, thereby making an excuse to just walk away and pretend that their lives and the world around them are just hunk dory. Statistics prove that a full 30% of the population will NEVER accept any truth that challenges their predefined life programming, thus they are pre disposed to go to their graves in a perpetual state of denial no matter what solid evidence is ever revealed and presented to them. Obviously this report is not meant to try and reach those hopelessly lost minds. Therefore the time has come for YOU to choose. Will you continue to live in INGNORANCE, or will YOU break free and EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY? Statistics state that very few people even read anymore. For the masses would rather spend their free time engulfed in being entertained, preferring the deep hypnotic slumber of sitting in front of the bloob tube... engulfed in the latest "entertainment PROGRAM", sports, shows, games, drama, etc., the list of fun distractions to keep your mind busy and “boxed” is huge indeed. Rock music is also a central core hypnotic programming medium. Is it not interesting in that the media networks call their output over the airwaves, designed for our consumption: "programming", for that is EXACTLY what they have been doing to the population: programming them. Thus we can readily observe that “big media” is “big brothers” right hand man. The common accepted "truth" of every society is derived from the news and media outlets. "They" are the ones whom program you, who shape and mold everyone's perception of reality... they set the stage, the rhythm, the ambiance, the common public vibe, the prevailing winds, flow of attitudes and ideas, what’s cool, what’s hot. In essence THEY decide what is and what is not, why and how, before you even had a clue if it ever was..

  • Operation D-Elite Results in Jail Time for Bittorrent Admin by Jessie B
    Operation D-Elite Results in Jail Time for BitTorrent Admin By Jessie B. Sweetland Daniel Dove, an administrator of EliteTorrent.org, a peer-to-peer (P2P) BitTorrent site was convicted on July 28, 2008 of one count each of conspiracy and copyright infringement for his involvement with the site. On September 9, 2008 Dove was sentenced to a term of 18 months of incarceration and a $20,000 fine. The FBI and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shut the site down on May 25, 2005 as part of Operation D-Elite. Agents of the FBI and ICE targeted EliteTorrent primarily for its illegal distribution of copyrighted movies. The Department of Justice reported that the site had a copy of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith available for download six hours before it was shown in theatres. Users downloaded the movie 10,000 times within the following 24 hours. At its peak the site had over 125,000 users that downloaded approximately 700 movie titles over 1.1 million times. Several other BitTorrent sites have shut down in recent years, including LokiTorrent and SuprNova.org due to threats of legal action or a legal shut down. Shutting down BitTorrent sites does little to deter users of P2P networks. As quickly as one site shuts down users move to other sites, many of which are hosted outside of the United State and therefore are harder for the United States government to control. Dove’s conviction follows the convictions of several other administrators’ for the P2P network, including Grant Stanley and Scott McCausland who each received five months incarceration, followed by five months home confinement and a $3,000 fine.

Server/client model Peer-to-peer model Characteristics of P2P networks Peers act as equals Peers function as both client and server No central server managing the network No central router Examples of ”pure” P2P networks Gnutella, Freenet (filesharing) In short Decentralization and multirole BUT! Most networks and applications described as P2P actually contain or rely on some non-peer elements History 1970 – SMTP, NNTP (Usenet) One process both server and client IBM, 1984 ”Advanced Peer to Peer Networking” Software for filesharing in a LAN 1990 – IRC (DCC), MBONE One client can both send and receive 1997 – Napster Created a lot of controversy Convicted because of the centralized file indexing Advantages of P2P networks Better performance and reliability compared to server/client scheme Popular resources will be available at several locations Principle of locality -> less delay and faster transmission Overlay routing Application layer routing (middleware) Two ways of searching for files Flooding DHT (Distributed Hash Table) Area of application Mostly used in ad hoc networks Often categorized by what it’s used for Filesharing Media streaming Telephony (skype) Discussion forums Used to distribute

  • European Cyber Security Perspectives 2019 | 1 Preface
    European 2019Cyber Security Perspectives European Cyber Security Perspectives 2019 | 1 Preface Dear reader, 2018 is a difficult year to summarize for Infosec. After the initial flurry of activity around Spectre and Meltdown in the beginning of January, we ended the year with global supply chain concerns brought about by the Super Micro story. Throughout the year we saw the geopolitical dilemmas of 2018 manifest in cyber security issues. Technology giants like Facebook and Google had a security reckoning. However in pure scariness the medical data breaches of MyHeritage (DNA) and MyFitnessPal (health) rank higher. The Starwood Marriot Hotel breach made every travelling executive nervous for the rest of the year, but probably not as nervous as the incident of CEO Fraud at Pathé. In an effort to alleviate some of that impact we are proud to publish the 6th European Cyber Security Perspectives (ECSP) report. The 2019 issue is filled with great articles from our partners ranging from government, universities and private companies. Special thanks goes out to all the partners who have submitted an article for the 6th edition of the ECSP. Also huge hugs to first time authors from de Piratenpartij, de Volksbank, Leiden University, University of Illinois, Hack in the Box and QuSoft. If IoT was the buzzword in 2017 then Artificial Intelligence (AI) was most definitely in 2018. AI and security seem to be intertwined and that is why you will find several articles about AI in this issue. This year the organization of Hack in the Box created a challenge which you can find at the bottom of the centerfold.
