<h2>Columbus Day</h2>
</center>
<P>
Thursday, 11 October, 1492. Steered west-southwest; and encountered a
heavier sea than they had met with before in the whole voyage. Saw
pardelas and a green rush near the vessel. The crew of the Pinta saw a
cane and a log; they also picked up a stick which appeared to have been
carved with an iron tool, a piece of cane, a plant which grows on land,
and a board. The crew of the Nina saw other signs of land, and a stalk
loaded with rose berries. These signs encouraged them, and they all
grew cheerful. Sailed this day till sunset, twenty-seven leagues.

The House Appropriations Committee recently eliminated funding for the
proposed federal intrusion detection surveillance system (FIDNet). The
White House, however, has found other funding through a $611 million
mid-year fiscal 2000 budget amendment. The Office of Management and
Budget sent the request to congress which included $39 million for
enhancing computer security and critical infrastructure protection
within several agencies. $8.4 million of which will be used for the
Proposed FIDNet system to be run by the General Services
Administration.

An application distributed by Softseek.com, a ZDNet web site, called
WinSec v1.01 claims to be designed to restrict users from accessing
certain Windows features. In actuality this program is a Trojan Horse
disguising NetBus. NetBus is a remote administration tool that could
be used by a malicious attacker to gain control of an unsuspecting
users machine. Softseek, has failed to respond to questions about the
incident.

Evidently there has been some confusion as to when the Global Jam
Echelon day will take place. The now confirmed date is October 21st
and not October 18th as previously reported here and elsewhere. Echelon
is a vast mythical eavesdropping network set up by various governments
including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and others in order to monitor
the world's electronic communications (telephone, email, fax, etc.) for
subversive keywords. On October 21st netizens around the globe are
implored to send out at least one email with at least one of the key
words. While the actual list of words is not known it is assumed that
words such as these will trigger the system: Kill FBI CIA NSA IRS ATF
BATF DOD Militia gun weapon manifesto terrorism bomb Special Forces SOF
Delta Force constitution Mossad NASA MI5 revolution terrorist economy

Considering the technology available for document retrieval it is
doubtful that the Global Jam Echelon Day will have any impact if the
messages only contain keywords. These links indicate that the NSA's
(and probably other agencies) information sorting capability (n-gram
analysis) is extremely more advanced than simple keyword grabbing. This
technology isn't new either it has been available publicly for license
since 1993. Considering the computing power available to high-level
government agencies in conjunction with this document retrieval
technology it is doubtful that the plan to jam or overflow the Echelon
system will have a large effect. <i>(Can't hurt to try though.)</i>

Michael Vatis, director of NIPC, told the Senate Judiciary Technology
and Terrorism Subcommittee on Wednesday that only eight FBI field
offices are adequately staffed to handle computer crime cases. Vatis
also said that the FBI has 800 pending cases and their workload doubles

Your software is full of bugs, security holes, and sometimes just plain
does not work. Programers are apalled at what they are asked to ship
out the door, buggy code, unfinished products, software they would
never run on their own machine. Software companies don't care when
customers ask why. They turn a blind eye and ask, "Who, me?"
