That ip points to wikileaks.ch, and I can get to it just fine here in the states ;).

I can't it is just not on any dns server assessable from my ISP or the local wifi hotspots I'm in the states

I had to google for wikileaks mirrors try 15 web sites then try 8 octets by copy and pasting them in to the address bar before I found one that had a link to the link I posted

I posted the octet because others might be in the same situation I am
it's just not on there dns servers

gnashley 12-04-2010 02:46 AM

The .ch domain was quickly attacked and brought down yesterday. After a short while wikileaks was available using .de (germany) and .nl (netherlands) domains -one other also but I can't remember what it was -maybe .be (belgium)

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 04:00 AM

Can someone seed the torrent, cuz although I have been able to download it, it seems there are no seeders :(

alan_ri 12-04-2010 04:20 AM

I was able to track down that ip (the server) and it sure ain't in Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands or Belgium. Even the ISP is in the same country as the server.

And what I have just read what president of that country wants to do... It's becoming really interesting. Sh*t, I may be ahead of US Government.... :D

Latios 12-04-2010 06:06 AM

Just curious What is displayed to you when going to wikileaks.org ?

I don't know about this guy and what he's doing. He seems like a suspicious character.

I don't care about soldiers, when they become soldiers they accept the possibility/probability of death, because they kill others. I'm betting if I say any more leopard will be pissed.

Sorry but that is a really weak excuse. These revelations have not done any harm to any soldier, no more than already sending our soldiers to hostile territory in the first place.

The Afghan & Iraq files have been released (portions of them), and has anything changed for the worse? Nope.

gnashley 12-04-2010 10:29 AM

Their original host IP shutdown their whole .org domain. Assange is an old hacker from long ago. He used to be 'associated' with another old hacker called Mudge, who has been hired by US gov. to try and find a way of eliminating such leaks. we are seeing two old pros battling it out I believe -the Hacker Wars...

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 10:45 AM

What if Assange was hired too ?

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 10:49 AM

It is possible, although I do have a favorable opinion about wikileaks, I am not so deeply entrenched in my opinion that I am not open to debate and all other possibilities. I'm not going to bite your virtual head off for stating that; I'm not Kenny :D *ducks*.

One other aspect, it is possible that wikileaks is being intentionally undermined. Assange's goal might actually be what he stated, but it is just possible that he is being fed mis-information and he may not realize it.

I guess now, the stuff is out there but you yourself have to make up your own mind about it.

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 10:52 AM

Well, I was trying to download it and parse it using grep or something, but it seems the torrent isn't working.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 10:54 AM

I guess just wait, the tracker just may be down temporarily. Or try piratebay or your favorite torrent site, I'm sure you can find it there, ;)

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 11:06 AM

I don't know if he is looking for the insurance file, but perhaps the torrent of the archive site of cablegate.wikileaks? http://88.80.16.63/torrent/cablegate...501.7z.torrent

in theory these people work for the people of the US .
it is well accepted that an employer has the right to see all and every thing on an employees computer email web history EVERY THING !
if these people are employees of the people of the US we have the same right to see how they are carrying out our business.
the same as any other employer would have

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 12:11 PM

None of the torrents work for any of this. It's ok, I found a file host source for the insurance one. I didn't even know they posted this.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 12:17 PM

Insurance file is available from thepiratebay and demonoid, also try torrentz.com (torrent search engine), you are bound to find a working one.

Or try: http://www.torrentdownloads.net/torr...eaks+Insurance, there are over 300 seeders.

Source link from cryptome: http://cryptome.org/0002/wl-diary-mirror.htm

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 12:20 PM

Speaking of cryptome, this article is rather interesting I think:

Quote:

From http://cryptome.org/0003/wikileaks-coward.htm

Wikileaks Redactions Are Cowardly

Wikileaks should stop the redactions of names in the diplomatic cables and war files and release untampered documents.

Name redactions are immensely deceptive -- like knee-jerk claiming there are valid grounds for some vital secrets -- they are used to hold hostages under guise of protection. Continue to obey or your name will be revealed. Redact or you will be pilloried in public. (Toot: The New York Times tried the "responsible redaction" scam on Cryptome with the CIA Mossadeq overthrow report.)

Dozens, perhaps hundreds of people are being put at risk by believing they are protected by the phony redaction scam Wikileaks has cowardly joined under pressure to conform to authoritative demands to be "responsible." Far better to tell the truth that the names are already loose so the victims know what the cabal of secretkeepers knows.

As if those who know the true names at redacting authoritatives, at Wikileaks and among the lawyers, editors and personnel at its new big media bedmates will never tell, will tightly control the original documents, will never be subject to betrayal or a burglary or a leak, will never have a trusted insider who acts to inform the world, will never write a tell-all best seller like Daniel Schmidt, will never aspire to be Time's Person of the Year, a Nobelist, a movie star, a sexual predator eager to cut a deal with the authorities.

Assange's craven desire to be an important world player is destructive to the Wikileaks initiative to engage many participants equally with preference for documents not personal fame. Fortunately, multiple wikis for leaking are now being set up unbound by Assange's lack of courage -- presuming that lack of courage is not contagious to the newcomers.

Never redact. No vital secrets. No deals with cheating dealers. No gulling of more Bradley Mannings.

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 12:34 PM

There must be something wrong, because none of the torrents are working. I have disabled my firewall and they still don't work.

I have downloaded another torrent a few months ago and it worked with the firewall on.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 12:38 PM

Odd, the link I provided from cryptome with the 300+ seeders works for me. I am getting the file @2+MB/s. I guess it is your firewall. *shrug*

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 01:06 PM

I checked everything, router setup, firewall setup, etc. I have concluded that it is probably my ISP that has banned torrents.

One thing you can do once you get it is run 'ent' on it and post the output, that's all I wanted to do anyway.
http://www.fourmilab.ch/random/

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 01:16 PM

Well I already have the file burned to two DVDs :D, I already cut off the torrent. Unfortunately with my 11 year old desktop, I don't think running ent on such a big file will be a good idea :(

rob.rice 12-04-2010 01:41 PM

well wikileaks.ch is working now
until I saw H_TexMex_H's post about I about the torrents was thinking the censorship was over
his torrent problem could be his ISP doing favors in exchange for favors
are you on a comcast network by chance H_TexMex_H ?
they have business before congress ya know

the government has also declared war on torrents to
can you download any torrents H_TexMex_H ?
all torrents may be blocked to you by your ISP

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 01:47 PM

Who knows, anyways maybe you should run ent on the insurance.aes256 file for us; I am also curious as to the output. I would do it but as I stated before, it might take way too long on my desktop :(

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 02:07 PM

Ok, now it works using vuze.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 02:17 PM

Cool! You should have it in no time considering the number of seeders ;).

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 02:27 PM

Yup, have it, and here's the output I wanted:

Code:

bash-4.1$ sha1sum insurance.aes256
cce54d3a8af370213d23fcbfe8cddc8619a0734c  insurance.aes256
bash-4.1$ ent insurance.aes256
Entropy = 8.000000 bits per byte. (8 = random)

Optimum compression would reduce the size of this 1491834576 byte file by
0 percent. (0 = random)

Chi square distribution for 1491834576 samples is 285.70,
 and randomly would exceed this value
9.05 percent of the times. (50 = random)

Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is
127.4998 (127.5 = random).

Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.141583671
(error 0.000285920 percent). (0.0 = random)

Serial correlation coefficient is
-0.000029 (totally uncorrelated = 0.0).

Oh, and the interpretation is: It probably is an encrypted file.

rob.rice 12-04-2010 02:33 PM

I guess the government realized that censoring this web site looks worse than anything that is on this web site
and
had the good since to stop blocking it from the people of the US

today we have seen big brother in action
let's hope this little bit of history is never repeated

There is no 7z extension of any kind. Did you check the file you downloaded against the original sha-1 sum to be sure? The insurance.aes256 file I have does not have any 7z extension and matches the sha-1 provided from wikileaks and cryptome.

sha-1 sum: cce54d3a8af370213d23fcbfe8cddc8619a0734c

Also I don't remember where I read this, but supposedly this file can have multiple passwords, each password only unlocking certain portions of the file, who knows.

rob.rice 12-04-2010 04:10 PM

as far as I can tell
it's a copy of the web site all the files in the archive are in html format
not encrypted at all just in a format not usually encountered in the linux world

I am pleased to report the censorship seems to be over

From http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/12/03/wik...ing/index.html

U.S. agencies warn unauthorized employees not to look at WikiLeaks

Washington (CNN) -- Unauthorized federal workers and contractors have been warned not to attempt to read the classified documents on WikiLeaks on either government or personal computers.

The White House Office of Management and Budget sent a memo Friday afternoon forbidding unauthorized federal government employees and contractors from accessing classified documents publicly available on WikiLeaks and other websites using computers or devices like BlackBerrys and smart phones.

The memo, sent to general counsels at various government agencies and obtained by CNN, explains that the publishing by WikiLeaks does "not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents."

"To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media remains classified, and must be treated as such by federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority," the memo said.

The memo does allow for reading of articles about the cables on media sites.

OMB spokesperson Moira Mack said the memo "does not advise agencies to block WikiLeaks or other websites on government computer systems."

"This is principally about protecting government IT systems," Mack said.

She described the memo as a template for agencies to use as guidance, saying it "restates and reinforces existing restrictions on access to classified documents by unauthorized personnel or on computers that access the web via non-classified government systems."

Asked if employees could lose their jobs if they access the WikiLeaks website on personal or government computers or devices, Mack told CNN, "Any breaches of protocols governing access to classified material are subject to applicable sanctions under long-standing and existing law."

The State Department sent a warning to staff not to confirm the authenticity of any published documents and to refer all inquiries to the public affairs office.

"The department is reviewing the material that has been made public. We take reports of the deliberate and unauthorized disclosure of classified material very seriously," according to a copy of the memo obtained by CNN. "The security and safekeeping of classified material and the safety of State Department personnel are our highest priorities."

The State Department memo also reminded the staff that even though they are published, the normal standards for handling classified documents apply when viewed at work or home.

"Any classification markings on the downloaded material should be retained. If such material is printed, however, it must be handled as a classified document and stored in a classified container," the memo said.

Separately, the Department of Defense and the Library of Congress have blocked access to the WikiLeaks website from their computers and instructed their employees not to read the documents published by the website, according to representatives of both agencies.

"We have put out a policy saying Department of Defense military, civilian and contractor personnel should not access the WikiLeaks website to view or download the publicized classified information," Department of Defense spokesman Maj. Chris Perrine told CNN. "Doing so could introduce potentially classified information on unclassified networks. This creates 'spillage' which can result in a great cost of time, manpower and money."

The statement echoes similar language in the Office of Management and Budget memo.

Library of Congress spokesman Matthew Raymond issued a statement saying the library "decided to block WikiLeaks because applicable law obligates federal agencies to protect classified information. Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents do not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents."

He said the block applies to patrons working in the library's reading room as well as Library of Congress staff.
Oh, only stopped reading the cables to post that, now I'll get back to browsing cablegate :D.

alan_ri 12-04-2010 09:29 PM

I have a certain view on certain things. May I share it?

If you are ashamed of the truth then you will try to hide the truth. Mostly usually.
But if you treat people as stupid sheeps and tell'em what they can and can't see, do or know, then you might be doing the wrong thing.
If you're trying to limit freedom of a human being in all it's rightnessness, then may God have mercy on your soul.
If you are a hypocrite then who can trust you?

And, to finish, if you can't look in the eyes of the truth, then I guess that you have a problem.


P.S.
We had a nice little war in Croatia, 1991-1995 and I'll tell you one thing; there are many things that you can kill, but you can't kill the truth.

Now I'm quite positive this is all gubmint handy-work. I don't even trust this archive that I downloaded, who knows what could be in it, half of me says shred it now.

They know exactly what they are doing.

I will just add some info about "Mudge" and Assange so that interested people could maybe understand certain things better.

Mudge
Quote:

Peiter Zatko, started the corporate information security group at BBN Technologies in the 1990s, was chief executive at L0pht Heavy Industries when the hacker space decided to incorporate, and founded security consultancy @Stake, which was later acquired by Symantec. Since 2004, he's been back at BBN, working as division scientist and technical director for the company's National Intelligence Research and Applications department. ...has been tapped to be a program manager at DARPA, where he will be in charge of funding research designed to help give the U.S. government tools needed to protect against cyberattacks. He cut his security chops as a teen-age hacker in the 1980s and managed to stay one step ahead of the law. He ran the L0pht hacker space during the 1990s, where he invented anti-sniffing technology that became the first remote promiscuous system detector used by the Defense Department. He also pioneered work on buffer overflows, which are a basis for many computer network attacks. "L0pht turned the industry on its head," he said. "You didn't have security response teams at major organizations like Microsoft or Intel until we came along." From his many years doing penetration testing and working to break security systems, he understands what it takes to try to defend networks and how to come up with innovative solutions to break through barriers and get around obstructions.
It looks like he didn't break through barriers of Wikileaks so far.

Assange
Quote:

Julian Assange, in 1987, after turning 16, Assange began hacking under the name "Mendax" (derived from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax," or "nobly untruthful"). He and two other hackers joined to form a group which they named the International Subversives. Assange wrote down the early rules of the subculture: "Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information". In 1993, Assange started one of the first public internet service providers in Australia, Suburbia Public Access Network. Starting in 1994, Assange lived in Melbourne as a programmer and a developer of free software. In 1995, Assange wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. He contributed several patches to the PostgreSQL project in 1996. He helped to write the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier (1997), which credits him as a researcher and reports his history with International Subversives. Starting around 1997, he co-invented the Rubberhose deniable encryption system, a cryptographic concept made into a software package for Linux designed to provide plausible deniability against rubber-hose cryptanalysis; he originally intended the system to be used "as a tool for human rights workers who needed to protect sensitive data in the field." Other free software that he has authored or co-authored includes the Usenet caching software NNTPCache and Surfraw, a command-line interface for web-based search engines. In 1999, Assange registered the domain leaks.org; "But", he says, "then I didn't do anything with it." Assange has reportedly attended six universities. From 2003 to 2006, he studied physics and mathematics at the University of Melbourne. On his personal web page, he described having represented his university at the Australian National Physics Competition around 2005. He has also studied philosophy and neuroscience. Assange was the winner of the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award (New Media), awarded for exposing extrajudicial assassinations in Kenya with the investigation The Cry of Blood – Extra Judicial Killings and Disappearances. In accepting the award, he said: "It is a reflection of the courage and strength of Kenyan civil society that this injustice was documented. Through the tremendous work of organisations such as the Oscar foundation, the KNHCR, Mars Group Kenya and others we had the primary support we needed to expose these murders to the world." He also won the 2008 Economist Index on Censorship Award. Assange was awarded the 2010 Sam Adams Award by the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence. In September 2010, Assange was voted as number 23 among the "The World's 50 Most Influential Figures 2010" by the British magazine New Statesman. In their November/December issue, Utne Reader magazine named Assange as one of the "25 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World". On 12 November he was leading in the poll for Time magazine's "Person of the Year, 2010"

H_TeXMeX_H 12-05-2010 06:51 AM

I'm still not convinced. I will keep this insurance file instead of shredding it, and wait for further developments.
