Això cridaven els pirates (vaja, si és que haguessin parlat català) que surcàven els mars del planeta, especialment del Carib, ja fa alguns segles. Si més no, això és el que ens expliquen les pel•lícules, que després d’uns anys a les ombres, es van tornar a posar de moda gràcies a un genial Johnny Deep i la resta de “Pirates del Carib”.

I és que a part dels tripulants de la Perla Negra, que només blandaven sables a la gran pantalla, els únics pirates que creiem vius a la vida real eren els anomenats pirates informàtics o hackers, que en comptes de navegar pels oceans i assaltar vaixells, es dedicaven a surfejar per la web i esmunyir-se als servidors de les empreses.Però d’uns mesos ençà, aquells pirates que només veiem a la ficció han tornat d’entre les ombres, tal i com una maledicció es tractés, i en comptes de navegar pel carib i tenir un lloro de company i una cama de fusta, resulten moure’s per l’Oceà Índic i tenir una metralladora i un GPS.

Aquest cap de setmana els pescadors del tonyinaire Alakrana per fi han pogut retrobar-se amb les seves família. Enrere han quedat moltes setmanes de segrest a mans de pirates somalis, que després de diverses amenaces sortosament no complertes i una vegada han omplert les seves arques amb més de 2 milions de euros, han alliberat els treballadors del pesquer basc.

Un cop no hem hagut de lamentar cap pèrdua, és el moment de pensar què es pot fer perquè no es repeteixin situacions com aquesta.

Primerament, què se n’ha fet d’aquell lema que diu que no s’ha de negociar mai amb terroristes? Com és que sovint el govern ha complert aquesta màxima quan de ETA es tracta (sinó que li preguntin als familiars de Miguel Ángel Blanco) i en aquest cas ha cedit a les exigències dels pirates? És veritat que és molt fàcil negociar quan la gent que s’hi està jugant la vida és una desconeguda, però també és veritat que els pirates no son tontos, i ara saben amb certesa que amb el govern espanyol s’hi fan bons tractes… Al contrari que va passar amb els francesos (que els hi van enviar uns quants míssils quan van voler tocar un dels seus vaixells), els pirates han vist que amb els espanyols n’han sortit amb les butxaques plenes… Si el mes vinent tenen un vaixell espanyol i un de francès a la vista, quin creieu que assaltaran?

Ara bé, el problema inicial que hauria evitat que no haguessin estat necessaris ni transferències bancàries ni coets teledirigits hagués estat no enviar l’Alakrana a pescar tonyines en aigües perillosos. Per tant, el mínim que s’hauria de fer és que els diners destinats pel rescat fossin assumits pel personatge que va enviar aquest pesquer cap allà, tot i sabent el risc que hi havia, per fer més negoci. Jugar amb la vida dels altres és molt fàcil. A veure si pagant aquest diners se li treuen una mica les ganes de posar en perill la vida dels seus treballadors.

Code is Speech – Gabriella Coleman

In an effort to examine the ways in which Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) developers are reconfiguring what source code and speech mean ethically, legally and culturally, Gabriella Coleman subsequently divulges that the broader political consequences of these redefinitions on for understanding the connections between code and speech.

At the beginning of her essay, Coleman utilizes a long haiku written by software developed Seth Schoen to begin to outline her arguments abut freedom of speech in the software developing world.  The source code is a transcoded bit of Free Software called DeCSS that “could be used to decrypt access controls on DVDs in violation of current copyright laws” (pg. 421).  By utilizing this example of Schoen, Coleman is attempting to highlight how such developments that challenge the meanings of both freedom and speech concurrently tinker with technology and the law using skills that transform and consolidate ethical precepts among developers” (pg. 449).  The legal action surrounding Schoen’s haiku of protest that source code is speech sets up Coleman to better explain the legal pedology and the subsequent battles over intellectual property, speech and software and in particular, the arrests of two programmers (Jon Johansen and Dmitry Sklyarov) and the manner in which their actions both provoked protest, questioned the value of source code and speech and how they made social processes a publicized, media frenzied event.

Coleman examines how developers “refashion liberal precepts in two distinct cultural locations, the F/OSS project and broader legal battles, resulting in what legal theorist Robert Cover calls “jurisgenesis”: the collective construction of new legal meanings and artifacts that diverge from statist or dominant interpretations of the law” (421).  Coleman uses the concept of “jurisgenesis” to stand as the framework for her essay, which she claims does three vital tings:

First: Coleman “demonstrates how F/OSS developers explore, contest ad specify the meaning of liberal freedom—especially free speech—via the development of new legal tools and discourses within the context of the F/OSS project” (pg. 422).

The basic history of free software & the birth of the legal hacker: technologists work on a number of projects within programs such as web browsers (like Firefox) and make active contributions to what Raymond calls a virtual “bazaar.” Such Free Software and the byproducts of it have stemmed from the brainchild of MIT hacker Richard Stallman.  A hacker is a “computer aficionado driven by an inquisitive passion for tinkering and committed to an ethical version of information freedom” (pg. 423).  While Stallman’s (and many other hackers) main goal was “not to tinker with the law, but to write a suite of Free Software applications to replace proprietary software” (pg. 423) which would then circumvent the problem of the law.  Thus, Stallman invented the General Public License (GPL), commonly referred to as the copyleft, “uses copyright law, a Constitutional mandate, to undermine the logic of copyright law” (pg. 424) however, it allows for hackers to have a bit of wiggle room and provided certain liberal freedoms that included specific languages of free speech in the software world.

Second: Coleman “examines how developers marshal and bolster legal expertise during broader legal battles to engage in “contentious politics” (Tilly and Tarrow 2006) (pg. 422).

Debian is a Free Software project Coleman utilizes to show how volunteer participation in a particular operation system can “accommodate to growth, provide significant changes in policy, procedures and structure” and develop its own set of operational tiers; a developer Internet relay chat (IRC) channel, a formalized membership entry procedure called New Maintainer (NM); and a set of charters that includes a constitution, a social contract, and the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) (pg 427). These operational applications are the perfunctory pillars of philosophical and legal distinctions in the world of Free Software and have opened new doors for the way in which programmers, hackers and users alike can understand the liberal meanings of “free speech” and what the core meanings of free – within the realms of expression, learning and modification.  Coleman goes on to explain how developers make policies that are part of the social landscape of most Free Software projects (pg 430).

The emergence of contentious politics is associated with the “free speech idioms formed as a response to the excessive copyrighting and patenting of computer software” and because of the number of both state and corporate interventions, the legal repercussions raised the stakes and “gave morality a new public face.” This concept brings into mind the Shirky (Stay at Home Moms) key points regarding the success/failure of systems or projects like Debian because of the open source system. People (not just hackers) can contribute and/or participate as much as they want to… even if it’s just one thing. The subsequent the lowered cost allows more exploration—therefore people can try riskier ventures. Although such a project endures failure, it automatically finds something that succeeds. In essence, there is no need to control the system because the users basically do it alone. Dated or “lame” things die out while popular things grow bigger.

Third: Coleman helps us understand “why, and especially when F/OSS, a technology based movement, emerged in such politicized ways and historicize what Kelty (2008) calls a recursive public—a public constituted by participants who defend the right to make and alter technology through argument and by tinkering with the technologies (notably the Internet) through which they collectively associate” (pg. 422).

Coleman’s idea of the recursive pubic calls into my mind Dana Boyd’s concept the latest generation of mediated publics, or places where people can gather publicly through mediated technology. (Please refer to the post from last week… http://idm09.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/the-mip-distro/)  Public spaces allow people to make sense of the social norms that regulate society, let people express themselves and learn from the reactions of others, and let people make certain expressions real by witnessing them (pg. 2). In “Code is Speech,” it is the hackers who organize these publics through their “forceful arguments that computer code is expressive speech” (pg 437).  This also bring into mind Fogg’s ideas of MIP (Mass Interpersonal Persuasion) because although the hackers are not explicitly telling the users what laws to contest or politics to debate, they do in a sense act as the gatekeepers to Free Open Software realms.

There is a great importance for individuals to have legal expertise that far surpasses the knowledge of the hackers. Activists participating in global politics must be able to fully articulate the historical moment when F/OSS’s particular public stance for free speech was rearticulated anew for wider public consumption and utilize that information to the best of their abilities.

Bwat Teman2 Kopral Indonesia, & Mas Bobby,

Mohon maaf Nih… Lama ga aku cek, ternyata Setelah e-mail Address Mas Bobby : cruseq91@yahoo.com terhacker,  aku cek di akun2 lainnya yg pakai e-mail add itu untuk login,  aku temukan Facecook.com/mask.rider1, dalam keadaan lost password, dan kemungkinan data didalamnya termasuk , data Foto2 Para Bajingan tersangka kita: SBY, Surya Paloh,Wiranto dll, di hapus oleh orang itu. dan atau juga kalau belum akun kita di facebook/mask.rider1 itu dipakai pula olehnya untuk berbuat jahat lagi.

Nanti kita bikinkan yg baru aja deh mas, bahkan puluhan kali jumlahnya biar mereka mampus cepat.

Dan kalaupun seperti yg mereka gembar-gemborkan 2012 kita semua mampus, nanti kita hajar rame2 mereka di akirat yg tak lagi ada hukum negara ini dan sama2 mereka tidak punya daya & senjata.

Trus ada beberapa catatan ku tinggal disini dulu.

1.  Dua minggu lalu Letkol Bobby Meidianto, ke Mapoltabes Solo, kasih info ttg: Dulmatin & Umar Patek, dan langsung keluar setelah berikan surat untuk Reskrim & Den 88 ke Pos Penjagaan.

2. 4 hari lalu kalo ga salah, Letkol Bobby ke sebuah rumah Batik di Wilayah Tegalsari Laweyan, temui seorang gadis yg di duga berat adalah Fitria adiknya Meutya Hafid, berikan pesan di balik selebaran “Darah Kan Segera Mengalir”.  Di situ pas Agung Wiranto datang, namun keceli dia, tak tahu kalo Letkol Bobby di sebelahnya lagi nulis pesan itu, dan setelah ia pergi, namun kaget tahu Letkol Bobby,  Letkol. Bobby segera sampaikan suratnya itu namun juga tergesa pergi sebab bareng turun hujan deras, dan ia perlu berteduh di tempat yg aman.

Rumah Bartik itu dekat Rumah Guruh Soekarno di SOlo, & berarti itulah mata rantai terputus & satu lagi bukti, bahwa sopir mobil yg nabrak Letkol Bobby di Pulo Gadung itu memang ada kaitannya dg Meutya Hafid & Darsono Kepsek SD 15 Mangkubumen Solo, & juga Guruh Soekarno.

Das Metasploit-Projekt hat die neue Version 3.3 seiner gleichnamigen Plattform für Pen-Tests bereit gestellt. Das aktuelle Release enthält mehr als 440 neue Exploit-Module, 216 weitere Hilfsmodule und ermöglicht die Fernsteuerung von Rechnern über einen eingebauten VNC-Dienst. Außerdem unterstützt die neue Version nun auch IPv6 und kann zur Prüfung von Sicherheitslücken in Microsofts neuem Flaggschiff Windows 7 eingesetzt werden.

Seit der letzten, vor etwa einem Jahr veröffentlichten, Version wurden etwa 180 bekannte Fehler korrigiert, so das Sicherheitsforscher H.D. Moore darin eine der am intensivsten getesteten Versionen des bekannten Tools sieht. Moore hatte das Metasploit-Projekt 2003 ins Leben gerufen und seine Firma Rapid7 hatte kürzlich die Betreuung des Open-Source–Projektes (BSD-Lizenz) übernommen.

Auf Bugtraq wurde dazu von H.D.Moore eine Mail veröffentlicht, in der er die verschiedenen systemspezifischen Erweiterungen und Verbesserungen der Metasploit-Plattform ausführlich erläutert.

Metasploit Framework ist ein Werkzeug für Penetrationstester, die im Auftrag von Unternehmen oder Prüfgesellschaften die Sicherheit von Netzwerken oder Anwendungen prüfen. Es enthält eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Exploits in Form geskripteter Module, die bekannte Sicherheitslücken in Programmen und Rechnersystemen ausnutzen. So kann ein Penetrationstester fehlende Sicherheitspatches und unzureichende Schutzvorkehrungen finden sowie die Angreifbarkeit von Systemen dokumentieren.

Die offene Verfügbarkeit macht die Exploit-Sammlung auch für privat am Thema Exploits und Security Interessierte sowie für Admins und IT-Experten in Unternehmen interessant. Schon um sich mit dem Stand der Technik beim Thema Pen-Testing und Exploits zu befassen.

Nützlich ist Metasploit vor allem, wenn man einen Rechner „härten“ und das auch austesten will. Metasploit ist auch nützlich, um die Güte eines heuristischen Malware-Scanners zu prüfen. Ein guter Scanner sollte zumindest einige Teile des Pakets als „potentiell gefährlichen Code“ identifizieren können. Erfahrungsgemäß gibt es bei Viren- und sonstigen Scannern große Qualitätsunterschiede bei der heuristischen Schadcode-Erkennung.

Atenção: Os fatos descritos no vídeo não ocorrem em sistemas Unix-like, como GNU/Linux, Free BSD, Open BSD e Mac OS.

Kadang kita kesel juga kalau download aplikasi, tapi harus trial beberpa hari saja, dan setelah itu kita harus membeli lisensinya untuk dapat melanjutkan aplikasinya. Dan biasanya aplikasi yang seperti itu memang sebuah aplikasi yang bagus. Makanya kita harus bayar. Tapi tak selamanya juga yang berbayar adalah yang bagus. Nah disini saya akan mencoba memberikan trik untuk mangatasi masalah register tersebut agar kita dapat memaksimalkan aplikasi tersebut. Yaitu dengan cara kita membeli licensinya dari produsen. Eh salah, bukan itu maksutnya.

Tapi ingat kawan ini hanyalah cara untuk orang yang tidak punya uang seperti saya. Baiklah langsung saja saya sampaikan bagaimana caranya. Biasanya kita cuman bisa trial 7hari, namun kita bisa mengatur waktu itu sesuka hati kita. Bisa 700 hari, 7000 hari bahkan70000 hari. Tapi jika berhasil. Karena tidak semua aplikasi bisa di lakukan dengan cara ini. Oh ya ini ditujukan untuk pengguna blackberry saja ya.

Ikuti langkah – langkah berikut :

1. Ganti pengaturan tanggal pada perangkat blackberry anda dengan waktu massa mendatang. Misalnya anda ganti tanggal tersebut dengan 10 tahun mendatang.
2. Pastikan Untuk mematikan Blackberry anda.
3. Kemudian restart blackberry anda dengan cara mencabut battrey selama 5 menit.
4. Kumudian nyalakan kembali blackberry anda dan instal trial aplikasi yang anda inginkan.
5. Setelah selasai intalasi buka aplikasi tersebut.
6. Kemudian keluarlah dari aplikasi tersebut, dan restart kembali dengn mencabut batrrey. Tunggulah kira kira 5 menit.
7. Dan nyalakan kembali blackberry anda, dan jangan lupa untuk mengganti kembali tanggal dengan waktu sekarang.
8. Dan selamat menikmati

                                                             Gli scet­tici sul riscaldamento del cli­ma sono in piena euforia. Convinti di aver colto con le mani nella marmellata i profe­ti di sciagure e gli sciamani del global warming. In pieno negoziato per non far fallire il vertice di dicembre a Co­penhagen, lo scandalo dei da­ti ritoccati rivelato ieri dal New York Times fa riesplode­re la disputa pubblica sui dan­ni veri o presunti causati dai gas serra alla sostenibilità cli­matica del pianeta. Gridano alla truffa i negazionisti, ri­spondono con uguale vee­menza i teorici della responsa­bilità umana, invocando l’enorme quantità di dati a so­stegno delle lo­ro tesi. Qualche dub­bio sulla qualità della ricerca ri­mane. Soprat­tutto ora, che centinaia di e-mail, rubate da pirati telema­tici dai compu­ter della Univer­sity of East An­glia, in Gran Bretagna, rivela­no che autorevo­li ricercatori e scienziati inglesi e americani hanno spesso «forzato» e in qualche caso alterato i dati in loro possesso, per combatte­re gli argomenti degli scetti­ci, concordando vere e pro­prie strategie di comunicazio­ne per convincere l’opinione pubblica. Non mancano nella corposa corrispondenza riferi­menti derisori e insulti perso­nali a quanti mettono in dub­bio la tesi del global war­ming, che uno degli autori delle mail definisce «idioti». «Questa non è una pistola fumante, è un fungo atomi­co », ha detto al quotidiano newyorkese Patrick Micha­els, un esperto climatico che da tempo accusa il fronte del surriscaldamento di non pro­durre prove certe e dati con­vincenti a sostegno delle tesi catastrofiste.

LA SCOPERTA – La scoperta dell’incursione è avvenuta martedì scorso, dopo che gli hackers erano penetrati nel server di un al­tro sito, un blog gestito dallo scienziato della Nasa Gavin Schmidt, dove hanno comin­ciato a scaricare i file degli scambi di posta elettronica tra questi e gli studiosi di East Anglia. Due giorni dopo, le prime mail hanno comin­ciato ad essere pubblicate su The Air Vent, un sito dedicato agli argomenti degli scettici. La polizia ha aperto un’indagi­ne, anche se i primi dubbi sul­l’autenticità della posta sono stati sciolti dagli stessi scien­ziati anglo-americani, che hanno confermato di essere gli autori. «Il fatto è che in questo mo­mento non possiamo dare una spiegazione alla mancan­za di riscaldamento ed è una finzione che non possiamo permetterci», scriveva poco più di un mese fa Kevin Tren­berth, del National Center for Atmospheric Research di Boulder, in Colorado, in una discussione sulle recenti va­riazioni atipiche della tempe­ratura. Ancora, nel 1999, Phil Jones, ricercatore della Clima­te Unit a East Anglia, ammet­teva in un messaggio al colle­ga Michael Mann, della Penn­sylvania State University, di aver usato un «trick», un ac­corgimento per «nascondere il declino» registrato in alcu­ne serie di temperature dal 1981 in poi.

GIUSTIFICAZIONI – Mann ha cercato di sminuire il significato del termine trick, spiegando che è parola spesso usata dagli scienziati per riferirsi a «un buon modo di risolvere un de­terminato problema» e non indica una manipolazione. Nel caso specifico, erano in discussione due serie di dati, una che mostrava gli effetti delle variazioni di temperatu­ra sui cerchi dei tronchi degli alberi, l’altra che considerava l’andamento delle temperatu­re atmosferiche negli ultimi 100 anni. Nel caso dei cerchi degli alberi, l’aumento della temperatura non è più dimo­strato dal 1960 in poi, mentre i termometri hanno continua­to a farlo fino a oggi. Mann ha ammesso che i dati degli alberi non sono stati più im­piegati per individuare la va­riazioni, ma che «questo non è mai stato un segreto». Secondo Trenberth, le e-mail in realtà mostrano «l’integrità sostanziale della nostra ricerca». Ma per Patri­ck Michaels, lo scandalo rive­la l’atteggiamento fondamen­talista dei teorici del global warming, «pronti a violare le regole, pur di screditare e danneggiare seriamente la re­putazione di chi vuole solo un onesto dibattito scientifi­co ».

Vivanews – Acara Yahoo Open Hack Day yang diselenggarakan di Balai Kartini Jakarta 21-22 November 2009 diikuti oleh ratusan pengembang aplikasi dari Indonesia maupun negara lain.

Menurut Communication Manager Yahoo South East Asia Jeremy Seow, tak kurang dari 400 pengembang mendaftar acara ini. Ini merupakan acara Yahoo Open Hack Day ke sebelas yang diselenggarakan Yahoo secara global.

Namun, ini adalah Yahoo Open Hack Day yang pertama yang diselenggarakan di Asia Tenggara. Oleh karenanya, tak hanya pengembang lokal, acara ini juga dihadiri oleh para pengembang dari Malaysia, Filipina, Singapura, dan Vietnam.

Menurut Yahoo South East Asia Developer Network Director, Michael Smith Jr, digelarnya acara ini di Indonesia menunjukkan betapa pentingnya Indonesia bagi Yahoo.

“Developer adalah faktor kunci bagi ekosistem manapun termasuk Yahoo. Dan ini juga menjadi faktor kunci bagi perkembangan Yahoo di wilayah ini,” ujar Michael kepada VIVAnews, di sela-sela berlangsungnya acara, Sabtu 21 November.

Sementara Senior Director for Business Development and Indonesia Country Lead Yahoo SEA, Pontus Sonnerstedt, mengatakan bahwa acara ini merupakan salah satu upaya Yahoo untuk menggerakkan tumbuhnya konten lokal serta aktivitas online di Indonesia.

“Kami ingin menjadi mitra bagi komunitas online lokal,” ujar Pontus. Indonesia dikatakannya sebagai negara yang sangat potensial, mengingat besarnya jumlah penduduk yang dimilikinya”.

Yahoo Open Hack Day sendiri merupakan acara bagi para pengembang untuk mengetahui lebih jauh tentang teknologi dari Yahoo. Di sini para pengembang diberi waktu selama 24 jam untuk membuat aplikasi di atas platform Yahoo

Yahoo tidak menerapkan aturan khusus, para peserta bebas membuat aplikasi baru secara solo maupun berkelompok. Mereka dibebaskan untuk begadang semalaman untuk menuntaskan aplikasinya.

Setelah itu pada hari berikutnya para peserta akan mendapat kesempatan selama 90 menit untuk melakukan demo dan presentasi. Aplikasi terbaik akan mendapat penghargaan.

Tak hanya itu, menurut Pontus, bisa saja, Yahoo merekrut talenta-talenta potensial yang ada di acara ini. “Divisi HRD kami juga datang ke acara ini,” ujar Pontus setengah berseloroh.

Jakarta – Dari beberapa negara di Asia Tenggara, Indonesia telah dipilih sebagai tuan rumah Yahoo! Open Hack Day ASEAN. Bukan kebetulan belaka Indonesia menjadi tuan rumah acara digelar selama 21-22 November 2009 tersebut. Pontus Sonnerstedt, Senior Director Business Development and Indonesia Country Lead, Yahoo! Southeast Asia, mengakui bakat hebat para hacker muda di Indonesia. “Kami telah bekerja di Indonesia selama beberapa tahun, dan kami percaya akan kemampuan para web developer di Indonesia. Untuk itulah kami memilih Indonesia sebagai tempat diadakannya Open Hack Day,” ujar Pontus, kepada sejumlah wartawan di Balai Kartini, Jakarta, Sabtu, (21/11/2009). Open Hack Day ASEAN diikuti oleh peserta dari beberapa negara tetangga seperti, Malaysia, Filipina, Singapura dan Vietnam. Dan pada akhirnya, Indonesialah yang terpilih sebagai tuan rumah ketimbang negara lain tersebut.

The University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climatic Research Centre appears to have suffered a security breach earlier today, when an unknown hacker apparently downloaded 1079 e-mails and 72 documents of various types and published them to an anonymous FTP server.

Much of this information is damning, and shows the Centre involved in sharp practices.

Hacker finden auf dem Server eines führenden Klima-Forschungszentrums Beweise für organisierte Daten-Manipulation

In der britischen und US-amerikanischen Presse gibt es für den Skandal, der am 19. bzw. am 20. November 2009 ruchbar wurde, nur ein Wort: „Climategate“. James Delingpole, der Starblogger des „Daily Telegraph“, den ich am Tag zuvor noch auf einer vom unabhängigen britischen Europa-Abgeordneten Roger Helmer angeregten Konferenz zum Thema „Have Humans Changed the Climate“ in den Räumen des Europa-Parlaments erleben durfte, ist sich schon sicher, dass die 1.079 Emails und 72 Dateien, die Hacker ins Internet stellten, für die Behauptung, die globale Erwärmung sei von Menschen verursacht, zum letzten Sargnagel werden. Sein US-Kollege Andrew Bolt spricht vom größten Wissenschaftsskandal der Neuzeit.

Was ist passiert? Am 19. November tauchte auf dem kleinen Skeptiker-Blog „Air Vent“ ein Hinwies auf einen Link zu einem russischen Server auf, auf dem Dateien zu finden waren, die unbekannte Hacker vom Server des Climate Research Center (auch bekannt als Hadley CRU) der East Anglia University kopiert hatten. Das CRU ist eines von weltweit nur vier Instituten, die dem „Weltklimarat“ IPCC „offizielle“ Temperaturdaten liefern. Die nun im Internet zugänglichen Dateien enthalten unter anderem halbprivate Korrespondenz zwischen den weltweit einflussreichsten Wortführern des IPCC, die verraten, dass diese selbst nicht so recht an die von ihnen verbreiteten Warnungen vor einem bevorstehenden Hitzetod glauben und zeigen, welche fiesen Tricks sie anwandten, um qualifizierte Einwände gegen den von ihnen fabrizierten Konsens über die Ursachen der globalen Erwärmung ins Leere laufen zu lassen und Skeptiker mundtot zu machen.

Nachdem dieser Skandal in den Online-Ausgaben der anglophonen Presse bereits für große Unruhe gesorgt hat, erwartet man nun mit Spannung, was sich die deutschen Mainstream-Medien jetzt einfallen lassen, um dem immer skeptischer werdenden Publikum zwei Wochen vor dem Beginn des Klima-Gipfels von Kopenhagen diesen „Unfall“ zu erklären. Zumindest der „Spiegel“ hat schon einmal vorgesorgt, indem er in dieser Woche die schwächelnde Sonne als Ursache der seit zehn ausbleibenden Erderwärmung ausmacht.

BRASIL: TELEFÔNICA INICIA PROCESSO DE CODIFICAÇÃO EM NAGRA 3

Tal qual vimos informando, o processo de transição para uma nova versão de acesso condicional por parte da TELEFÔNICA, está prestes a iniciar-se. A operadora e o provedor de acesso condicional suíço «Nagravision SA», estabeleceram já prazos e fases de implementação da nova codificação, entretanto estão a ser levadas a cabo alterações nos equipamentos da operadora, para a capacitação do sistema de acesso condicional Nagra 3.

PANORAMA ATUAL

Atualmente o sinal de televisão da plataforma «Telefônica» que se encontra protegido sobre a versão (obsoleta) de codificação Nagra 2 é pirateado até à exaustão desde a Argentina até ao Sul da Florida nos Estados Unidos da América (onde captam o sinal de alguns repetidores com antenas de grande dimensão), passando naturalmente por todo o Brasil.

Contrariamente à ideia geral não são necessários receptores especiais ou muito caros para piratear o sinal da operadora, pois a maior parte dos receptores FTA consegue faze-lo bastando para o efeito a introdução das chaves de codificação disponibilizadas em inúmeros sites da internet.

ABERTURA DO SINAL DE CODIFICAÇÃO

Hoje em dia qualquer aprendiz de pirata utilizando um cartão oficial da operadora, um script, um programa de leitura e um programador unloper consegue saber todos os dados de codificação (chaves operativas incluídas) e ainda reescrever instruções (abertura de novos canais, novas datas de subscrição).

MAS TUDO VAI MUDAR

E dentro em breve os assinantes deverão começar a receber nas suas casas, um novo cartão de acesso condicional (já em desenvolvimento na Nagravision). Considerando a operação de logística necessária para a distribuição dos novos cartões, testes a realizar com a nova tecnologia, o processo de migração deverá levar ainda alguns meses.

COMO SE PROCESSA A MIGRAÇÃO PARA NAGRA 3

Em primeiro lugar a tecnologia já existe e está a ser usada por várias plataformas ao redor do mundo, pelo que está a ser adaptada á realidade do cliente.

Segue-se uma fase de adaptação e capacitação dos equipamentos da operadora, a distribuição dos novos cartões e o lançamento de um novo firmeware (programa) para os atuais receptores ( instalados em casa dos assinantes) que ocorrerá via OTA ( atualização via satélite).

Entretanto surgirá em breve um novo CAID ( Conditional Acees Identification / Numero de identificação do acesso condicional).

A migração dos canais será feita por fases, e por pacotes começando por subir para a nova versão , em primeiro lugar os canais Premium, seguindo-se aos poucos os outros pacotes , enquanto isso os restantes canais serão emitidos em simulcrypt ( nos dois sistemas de codificação).

E finalmente o apagão geral em que os receptores piratas ficarão todos com a tela preta.

PRAZOS DE TRANSIÇÃO

È muito difícil avançar com prazos para uma transição desta natureza, uma vez que depende de diversos fatores como a quantidade de assinantes a dimensão da operação de logística e sobretudo do tipo de descodificadores em poder dos assinantes, que em alguns casos são incapazes tecnicamente de receber a nova versão de codificação. Sendo por isso necessário proceder á sua troca.

NAGRA 3

É uma versão de codificação desenvolvida pela empresa Suíça de acesso condicional «Nagravision» para fazer face à recorrente “abertura do sinal” por parte dos piratas de televisão da versão de acesso condicional Nagra 2.

A versão de acesso condicional Nagra 3 tem vindo a ser implementado com enorme sucesso em diversas plataformas ao redor do mundo , anulando quase por completo a ação dos piratas.

Algumas das maiores plataformas europeias , assim com a norte americana Dish , estão codificadas sob o sistema de acesso condicional Nagra 3.

Tanto quanto sabemos , até agora ainda ninguém conseguiu “ abrir “ esta versão.

MACHADADA NO NEGOCIO DOS PSEUDO FTA`s

Estas são acima de tudo, muito más notícias para os mercadores dos receptores utilizados para abrir o sinal da operadora, que devem começar agora a fazer contas á vida ou então repensar a forma de investir os lucros obtidos com as vendas de milhares de equipamentos, que venderam e que agora passam a ter, a verdadeira utilização para que foram criados , ou seja “abrir” canais livres.

This week, hackers got into the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and released over 60 MB of private e-mails to the public.

As expected, climate deniers are having a field day over supposed “data fudging”.

CLICK!

While some of these e-mails are indeed rather embarrassing, and involve conversations that fall, let’s say, below what one would consider the “ethical ideal” for how scientists should behave with regards to the general public, global warming deniers really are blowing this out of proportion.  First of all, note that there is no real “data fudging” going on. — in the worst of these, they are talking about witholding data that could be easily misinterpreted by deniers.

Which, don’t get me wrong, is not awesome, and as someone who believes in true intellectual honesty and transparency, I find it embarrassing and disgraceful. — But, as RealClimate.org point out:

More interesting is what is not contained in the emails.  There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research, no grand plan to ‘get rid of the MWP’, no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no ‘marching orders’ from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords.  The truly paranoid will put this down to the hackers also being in on the plot though.

Instead, there is a peek into how scientists actually interact and the conflicts show that the community is a far cry from the monolith that is sometimes imagined.  People working constructively to improve joint publications; scientists who are friendly and agree on many of the big picture issues, disagreeing at times about details and engaging in ‘robust’ discussions; Scientists expressing frustration at the misrepresentation of their work in politicized arenas and complaining when media reports get it wrong; Scientists resenting the time they have to take out of their research to deal with over-hyped nonsense.  None of this should be shocking.

Indeed, shockingly enough for climate deniers, not one of these emails at any point suggests that there is any data that contradicts GW, only that there is data that could be easily misinterpreted as contradicting GW by the general public.

For example, the global cooling trend due to global dimming has been well known for some time now, and recent studies show that this global dimming may “hold back” global warming and slow it down.

Of course the problem is that this dimming is caused by pollution!*

Some of these e-mails do seem to contain some questionable material — and I say seem to, because I’m not a climate specialist, nor am I a data analyst; so it may well be that nothing out of the ordinary is going on there… at any rate, if what seems to be a discussions about withholding conflicting data turns out to be just that, then I hope there are repercussions and that these people are investigated further.

What’s important here is that these e-mails should not be taken out of proportion, and that this incident should in no way deter people from the reality of GW, and how important of an issue it is to solve this and all the other environmental crises if we want our grandkids to live in a planet that doesn’t resemble something out of a post apocalyptic movie.

Save the planet now, or your ruggedly handsome grandchildren will be forced to a life of ape-on-hairless-ape sex-slavery.
