My computer was still playing gentle music as my heart rate quickly rose. I feared that I already knew who it was, and I was afraid he was looking for trouble. Luckily Anna was not there, but far away at a conference, away from harm. Naked, and still sleepy, I rushed to put on underwear and sneakers. “I'm coming,” I yelled at him as I took a big kitchen knife from the drawer and walked to the entrance of my Kreuzberg apartment. I was thinking, this could be carnage. Looking past the curtains, I saw nobody in front of my door. Another bad sign. I gripped the knife and took one step back, in fear for what might happen next. Before I realized that I had opened the door, I was blown aback by the wave that entered my home. Unprepared for this forceful confrontation, I could only drop the knife and run in blind fear. Did he bring an army?, I thought to myself, Will my sweet Anna find a mutilated body, or no body at all? An army is unexpected. There were many aggressive voices and I was quickly forced to the ground. I didn't struggle, as there were simply too many of them. I couldn't even move my arms. They rose me to my knees to face one of my assailants–a bold, white man. He was around 40 years old and had great excitement in his eyes. As I tried to constrain my panic, I noticed the man was wearing a kevlar vest, as were my other assailants. “Are there any weapons in the house?” the bold man asked. “What?” I thought out lout, “No, there are no weapons in this house. I see you brought guns, but I don't have a weapon.” Then I saw he was holding … a piece of paper? I still couldn't move my arms and discovered my hands were cuffed behind my back. The bold man told me, “You are under arrest on the suspicion of providing material support to a terrorist organization. Are you Max Nowak?” Good god, I thought. It was just the police. As I looked around for confirmation that it was in fact the police, I counted ten of them. Six were wearing vests and were there just for security while two were bringing in forensic gear (computer, photo-camera, containers), and the last two seemed to just be observing. I was relieved to discover it was the police, but wondered what they were arresting me for. “Do you have identification on you?” the bold man asked while I was on my knees, wearing nothing but my underwear and sneakers. “You think I did what?” I replied. The two that had put the metal on my wrists now made me stand. “You are under arrest on the suspicion that you have provided material support to a terrorist organization.” “And so you bust in here on a Sunday night?” I asked. The situation seemed to be under control. The police had me and I was not fighting. We just needed to get to the police station. There, I would ask for a lawyer before speaking with the police. A lawyer won't show up on a Sunday night, and I would be able to leave the station the morning 2 after, around noon. Then it would take 2, maybe 3 months before everything would be cleared up and the paperwork done. “Are you Max Nowak and do you have identification?” the bold man asked again. “Yes, that's me!” I finally answered him. “My wallet with driver's license is in my jeans, next to my bed. I would like to see your identification as well, pro forma” I told him. The word 'pro forma' was a bit difficult for the police officers; they all had to learn it shortly after signing up for the police force. There are some tensions that naturally arise during a home invasion and terrorism related arrest. These tensions arise even with the very best police officers and during arrests for very minor offenses. Although all police officers have voluntarily joined the police force, they are always stressed-out when performing these routine arrests. To ease the tension, I made two remarks: “On a Sunday night?” and “pro forma”. I felt like both remarks were light and slightly humorous while not showing my disrespect. Still, this officer seemed set on keeping an unfriendly atmosphere. He maintained an ugly face and said that he did not have to show his identification to me. I was escorted out of my house towards an undercover police car by the two officers that had been holding my arms since the moment that I hit the ground. One of them sat behind the wheel while the other was nice enough to sit next to me on the backseat. The three of us drove off, presumably towards a police station, although they didn't tell me. Being an outgoing and very optimistic person, I tried one more time. “So there were ten of you in my apartment of 25m2. Can you believe that in three years, I never had so many people over at once!?” My attempt at casual conversation was met with a stare of disbelief and words that did not leave the officer's mouth. At the police station it was the usual routine: counting the money in my wallet, removing my shoe laces, verifying my identity, no allergies, no drugs, no people that immediately depend on me, and a vegan diet. For some reason, the vegan, as well as the vegetarian diet always requires to be explained

  • Against Authority
    AGAINST AUTHORITY Freedom and The Rise of the Surveillance States by John Twelve Hawks for Thomas Pynchon ©2014 by John Twelve Hawks. All Rights Reserved. A LITTLE BOY IN A ROOM OF MIRRORS Both dogs and humans know when we’ve been caged. We sense instinctually when some other person—or an institution—has the power to direct or control our lives. And our first awareness of this reality occurs at an early age. The older kids on the schoolyard are bigger and stronger. They have the power to knock us down and tell us what to do. When I was growing up in the 1950s, I was quite aware of my own powerlessness. I couldn’t tell anyone what to do—not even a first grader. Although my brain was crammed with a great many words, I had a terrible stutter and couldn’t get the words out. Everyone in my elementary school class laughed when I struggled to speak, and sometimes even my teacher had to conceal her smile. By the time I was eight years old, I started to believe that a demon with a perverse sense of humor was in charge of my lips and tongue. On some days, he was a lazy demon, and I could talk on the phone or answer questions in class. Then the demon would get annoyed with me and I would spit and sputter over every word. On Sundays my family attended a Scotch Presbyterian church headed by a conservative pastor who preached about infant damnation. I was confused about the power of baptism, but I definitely understood the concept of hell.

    TOP SECRET//HCS-O-P/SI//ORCON/NOFORN/FISA 17 October 2017 WikiLeaks Task Force Final Report TOP SECRET//HCS-O-P/SI//ORCON/NOFORN/FISA 17 October 2017 Memo To: Director, Central Intelligence Agency Deputy Director, Central Intelligence Agency Chief Operating Officer, Central Intelligence Agency From: WikiLeaks Task Force, Subject: WikiLeaks Task Force Final Report Executive Summary WikiLeaks’ announcement on 7 March that it possessed cyber tools from CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), dubbed “Vault 7,” marked the largest data loss in CIA history. In its initial public disclosure, WikiLeaks provided the names and brief descriptions of multiple tools that CIA developed for cyber operations. Since 7 March, WikiLeaks has published more comprehensive descriptions of 35 tools, including internal CIA documents associated with each tool. — We assess that in spring 2016 a CIA employee stole at least 180 gigabytes to as much as 34 terabytes of information. This is roughly equivalent to 11.6 million to 2.2 billion pages in Microsoft Word. This data loss includes cyber tools that resided on the Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI) software development network (DevLAN). We cannot determine the precise scope of the loss because, like other mission systemsa at that time, DevLAN did not require user activity monitoring or other safeguards that exist on our enterprise system. — — To date, WikiLeaks has released user and training guides and limited source code from two parts of DevLAN: Stash, a source code repository, and Confluence, a collaboration and communication platform. All of the documents reveal, to varying degrees, CIA’s tradecraft in cyber operations.

  • Who Watches the Watchmen? the Conflict Between National Security and Freedom of the Press
    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO I see powerful echoes of what I personally experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W. Norton, May 2010). ? ? The topic of unauthorized disclosures continues to receive significant attention at the highest levels of government. In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A.

  • NSA's MORECOWBELL
    NSA's MORECOWBELL: Knell for DNS Christian Grothoff Matthias Wachs Monika Ermert Jacob Appelbaum Inria TU Munich Heise Verlag Tor Project 1 Introduction On the net, close to everything starts with a request to the Domain Name System (DNS), a core Internet protocol to allow users to access Internet services by names, such as www.example.com, instead of using numeric IP addresses, like 2001:DB8:4145::4242. Developed in the \Internet good old times" the contemporary DNS is like a large network activity chart for the visually impaired. Consequently, it now attracts not only all sorts of commercially-motivated surveillance, but, as new documents of the NSA spy program MORECOWBELL confirm, also the National Security Agency. Given the design weaknesses of DNS, this begs the question if DNS be secured and saved, or if it has to be replaced | at least for some use cases. In the last two years, there has been a flurry of activity to address security and privacy in DNS at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the body that documents the DNS standards. The Internet Architecture Board, peer body of the IETF, just called on the engineers to use encryption everywhere, possibly including DNS. [4] A recent draft [6] by the IETF on DNS privacy starts by acknowledging that the DNS \... is one of the most important infrastructure components of the Internet and one of the most often ignored or misunderstood. Almost every activity on the Internet starts with a DNS query (and often several). Its use has many privacy implications ..." Despite seemingly quick consensus on this assessment, the IETF is not expecting that existing industry solutions will change the situation anytime soon: \It seems today that the possibility of massive encryption of DNS traffic is very remote." [5] From a surveillance perspective, DNS currently treats all information in the DNS database as public data.

  • Global Subversion Begets a Question for Ed Snowden Are Covert Ops Compatible with Democracy?
    Global Subversion Begets a Question for Ed Snowden Are Covert Ops Compatible With Democracy? By Bill Blunden, October 12, 2014 It’s part of the public record that the NSA has engaged in an industry-wide campaign to weaken cryptographic protocols and insert back doors into hi-tech products sold by U.S. companies. We also know that NSA officials have privately congratulated each other in successfully undermining privacy and security across the Internet. Hence it’s only logical to assume that the NSA’s numerous subversion programs extend into foreign "commercial entities". Thanks to documents recently disclosed by the Intercept we have unambiguous confirmation. Hi-tech subversion underscores the fact that the whole tired debate regarding cryptographic keys held in escrow for so-called lawful interception (what the Washington Post called “secret golden keys”) only serves to distract the public from programs aimed at wielding covert back doors. In other words, by reviving the zombie idea of an explicit back door the editorial board at the Washington Post is conveniently ignoring all of the clandestine techniques that already exist to sidestep encryption. In a nutshell: zero-day bugs and malware often trump strong crypto. On an aside it’s interesting to observe the citadel of free thinkers at the Electronic Frontier Foundation continue to promote cryptographic tools as a privacy tonic with a faith that’s almost religious while conspicuously neglecting other important aspects of operational security. The EFF cheerfully provides a litany of alleged success stories. Never mind all of the instances in which the users of said cryptographic tools were compromised, even users who specialized in computer security.

    THE AGENCY AND THE HILL: CIA’s Relationship with Congress, 1946–2004 L. Britt Snider The Center for the Study of Intelligence CSI was founded in 1974 in response to Director of Central Intelli- gence James Schlesinger’s desire to create within CIA an organiza- tion that could “think through the functions of intelligence and bring the best intellects available to bear on intelligence problems.” The center, comprising professional historians and experienced practitio- ners, attempts to document lessons learned from past operations, explore the needs and expectations of intelligence consumers, and stimulate serious debate on current and future intelligence chal- lenges. To support these activities, CSI publishes Studies in Intelligence and books and monographs addressing historical, operational, doctri- nal, and theoretical aspects of the intelligence profession. It also administers the CIA Museum and maintains the Agency’s Historical Intelligence Collection.
