WikileakS.org mirror archive (Feb 10th 2008) (download torrent) - TPB)
You can also run a search there for "Wikileaks insurance policy" to get a zipped file just over 1 gb in size that promises to contain really interesting data on "something" if the 256 key encryption is released by Aasange as he`s promised to do if incarcerated.
I believe he was just recently incarcerated.

At the risk of confessing to my computer semi-illiteracy .... why did the 1 gb torrent file take 1 second to download, and how do I open the file?

Download this...
http://www.getmiro.com/
Install it and open the file you just downloaded with this new program.
It`ll download the mirror site and the insurance file .
It`s hacker stuff Spinks but everything you`ll be downloading is perfectly legal.
Enjoy.

Yes, but he hasn't been convicted of anything. If he releases the "poison pill" before a jail sentence, he blows his chance of being released after the current charges are dropped.

Good point.
Damn, I have to wait even longer!
Edit:
Unless of course I can learn how to hack into a 256 bit encryption file today.
Anyone have a clue?

Yes. They're little more than 13 year olds who post child porn and animal abuse pictures on 4chan and similar image boards, that's why I rolled my eyes at the suggestion that they are somehow an elite and sinister hacker group that's actually centralized and organized. Any random basement dwelling teeny bopper can call themselves "Anonymous", and that's the extent of it. I'm not living under a rock, I just wouldn't want to give a bunch of snot-nosed turds far more credit than they deserve.

lol.
LOIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somebody tweeted "FIRE!" and all those snot nosed teeny boppers (and whoever else felt sufficiently annoyed) fired. That's all there is to it (so far). Nothing was "hacked" (yet), only blocked. A Denial of Service attack is the internet equivalent of a protest march.
As for a sinister group of organized hackers living in a bunker in Prague, that's just silly. Hackers have internet communities just like any other group. If somebody on RF says "Hey, guys, let's do THIS", in most cases the thing will be done by a few suggestible types. Several if it's fun enough. And the effect snowballs if enough people get on board even if it isn't very fun, only because nobody wants to feel like an outsider.

Sure, but saying "Anonymous" did this doesn't have any real meaning, as anyone can claim to be a member of "Anonymous" and the vast majority of those who do are nothing more than pimple-faced kids who troll various internet forums and image boards by posting child porn and animal abuse pictures, or prank call the parents of kids who've killed themselves due to bullying, etc. and would refer to people such as you, I or anyone else with a social conscience as "moralfags".

To say it has "no meaning" is to completely fail to realize the significance of a new and interesting social phenomenon.
Ironic, too, that you start by saying it has no meaning but continue with a lengthy diatribe on what exactly you think it means.

I doubt it, he faces a maximum sentence (if charged, he's only wanted for questioning right now) of a ~$700 fine. Which makes the denial of bail highly suspicious.
This is just more smear tactics stuff, or maybe the US already cut a deal with Sweden to turn him over.

Couldn't that be considered illegal?
It's not the strongest encryption, but it's still pretty strong. Maybe if a cracker is motivated he'll do it (as in a hacker who does illegal things and such).

Ah, I mixed up 128 and 256. I was thinking 256 and 512. I don't know that much about encryption, so I'll defer to your knowledge.

I was just kidding.
I don`t have the knowledge or resources to even know where to begin with such an undertaking.
I don`t think it could be considered illegal though as Wikileaks uploaded the file and invited anyone who wanted to download it.
If someone out there cracks it I can`t see how it would be considered illegal.
If they went on to publish whatever they found inside I don`t see how that cold be considered illegal either.

Nobody will have to crack it. If wikileaks and Assange continue to be persecuted by numerous states, banks and internet companies and they are unable to restore service, they'll probably release the password. If wikileaks is allowed to obtain the same protections as any other (read: corporate sponsored) news site, they will keep doing what they're doing - releasing the interesting stuff in dribs and drabs and using their editorial discretion re. what is and is not appropriate to release.
The massive file containing every leak they've ever published is not encrypted. The encrypted file is the rest of the 250,000 diplomatic cables. Wikileaks has only published about 900 of them, and they are still available on most of their thousand-odd mirror sites.

I think cracking it could be considered a violation of the DMCA, since its encryption meant to limit the distribution of the files (in this case not distributing it until they decide, instead of limiting who gets it).
Of course, I crack DRM on anything I buy, just for ***** and giggles, and the cops aren't banging on my door yet.
