DUers sharing sensitive info on-line: start using WASTE

[scottxyz]

I suggest this might be a good time for DUers involved with exchanging any important info on-line to take a look at the WASTE encrypted peer-to-peer file-sharing program, by Justin Frankel (the inventor of WinAmp).

I'm serious folks. The other side has been fighting a guerilla war for at least 30 years now, using secrecy as outlined by their neocon theorist Leo Strauss. Just because we're the party of openness and inclusion doesn't mean we let the other guys snoop all our strategy sessions and work product.

1. Whoa. Shades of Thomas Pynchon.

I may have to start graffiti'ing the muted post horn everywhere...

2. I think Justin Frankel got the WASTE name from that Pynchon novel

Can't remember where I heard that though.

3. Good idea!

We must keep hard copies of everything and sensitive infomation should not be put in a post.

We should be the sneaky and smart worker bees.

4. Here are software links in the cryptographic world

BTW, I am using WASTE right now. Check your PM for details.

Privacy and file sharing, encryption, signature, etc.

Privacy and file sharing, encryption, signature, etc. links:

These software packages are all focused around cryptography in some way. Most of this software is VERY handy and is all well-written. You should have no trouble making it work. I use all of this software on a regular basis, and I offer these links to you.
Enjoy the software and give it some thought. We live in a world that is uncertain and highly technological. These links offer software and resources for managing communication, data storage, and recording. Be sure to look at the last pieces, as
they are good for making hard copies of web pages, documents, and digital media. All software mentioned here is freeware, and no spyware at all.

6. Sadly, this is not true............

The fundie "base" is, obviously, because they've been completely bamboozled...But the true PNACers, the fascists, are plenty smart.
