I'm fuarrrking scared, lainons. As I browse the internets daily looking for knowledge, trying to be the least bit productive in my lonely NEET life, more and more of the knowledge I seek is being stuck behind paywalls, subscription gags, and summaries and abstracts whereas the actual content is held hostage.

Fellow lainons, this is a call to arms! I want infinite access to scientific knowledge and current knowledge for everyone, and I believe we should accept nothing else! Therefore, I propose an initiative to liberate such informational content! We have the technology! I know we're not the smartest techies in the world, but I have a lot of faith in what we can collectively accomplish.

In this thread, I hope to discuss with fellow lainons how we can make this happen. Also, information liberation general.

The fuarrrk are you talking about a lot of knowledge is free, at least the good soykaf is, just look at the dozen or MIT's opencourseware, moocs, etc. Failing that there are still the traditional means like pdfs, books, torrents.

If you're talking about actual scholarly articles many of them are bogus either illegitimately peer reviewed or whose results are not replicable. Unless you can do it yourself why bother?

All the soykaf you suggested is based off the information published in those peer-reviewed articles you pooh-poohed.

Are you really suggesting it's better if I can't read the source of an idea or discovery and decide whether it is right or wrong for myself? Don't forget that we only know about many published papers being frauds because of peer-reviewed papers on the subject of fraudulent scientific papers.

My college has access to a pretty good amount of databases.

Here's the full list: http://pastebin.com/9sCks71k

I don't mind writing a spider to go through all of these databases and rip everything I can. Or alternatively I've already hacked 15 or 20 usernames and passwords at my college, if another lainon was interested in helping catalog it I could give them a username and password that they could log in with.

Proxies + hacked accounts will also get us past the metadata question, because it will lead back to innocent people and proxy servers.

Its pretty sad that scientific knowledge gets paywalled the way it does, i think what we need is a new publishment model. It might need to start as it's own scientific journal but i really feel we could make all that knoweldge way more useful if it was all in one database.

One database, linked citations, then you start running automated data mining scripts on it and oh god we have so much knowledge and more is being generated exponentially with every new piece of research added to the database. It would be publicly accessible with multiple synchronizing repositories and potential for forking if things ever go south.

> The Chaos Communication Congress is the annual symposium and hacker party of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). During four days between Christmas and New Years Eve, thousands of hackers, technology freaks, artists and utopians get together in Hamburg to communicate, learn from each others, and party together. We focus on topics such as information technology, digital security, making and breaking, and we engage in creative, sceptical discourse on the interaction between technology and society.

Because we already had a defcon and Chaos Communication Camp thread, I figured we should have this one as well.

How many are planning on attending?

there were only me and another guy confirmed coming last year (we didn't even meet). looks like this year there will be more people.

assembly would be too much, they have few space (and chairs) for assemblies already and it seems like too much for a handful randomly appearing people. Assemblies are for people who set up stuff and/or have people who stay at the assembly all the time.

but we could do a meetup in some discussion corner somewhere.

A few years ago I found out about this programmer called Matthew Von Rocketstein.
>Have you ever heard about him?
Probably not.
>What is so special about him?
Well since you ask. He has been travelling the world and programming at the same time for 3 years. Furthermore he has been travelling on bike. Here is his personal website:
http://data.holdings/
>Sounds cyb, I wanna hear more about the bike...
Well his bike is in pic related.Also here are more pics of it:
https://plus.google.com/photos/116408857612537818720/albums/5919384113018548945
What is special about his bike is that it collects solar energy so that he can power his laptop and program on the move, even during the night.
Here is some of his code:

I've wanted to do something like this for a long time.
It would be awesome to leave everything behind and live off what you can carry on a bike.
I just haven't found an opportunity to do it though, you'd need to be pretty financially stable to do something like this if you have no independent food source. I'd be especially expensive to outfit a bike like that.

Sadly, you cannot reason with those who are part of the Apple cult. And yes, I would consider people who autistically hate on people just because they own an Apple product to be just equally brainwashed as the idiot who assumes it's good because Apple made it.

As for this programmer, I don't really see the point of going out into the wilderness or just outside in general and bring tech that isn't a smartphone with me.

But then again, I have days where I "unplug" and just don't spend hours on my computer or tablet. So for me, outside would me no electronics.

I've also been dreaming of something like this.
But instead of a bike, I was thinking of a small camper/bicycle trailer kinda thing.
At least so I have a place to hide inside and carry some more stuff with me while also being able to compute in the rain.

It's only a dream though.

call me a /pol/tard if you want but the huge stream of refugees got me thinking (i live in germany btw.) since alot of them come without passports nobody can tell who is really a refugee, who is in for the money and much worse who is a sleeper. i was asking myself how exactly would sleepers destroy our society? would it even be possible to have a breakdown of society in the middle of europe like it happens in syria right now?

another thing that interests me is how could a resistance be formed in a collapsed society without high tech. whithout internet most people are not even able to hold a friendship these days.

I mean, ms-13 certainly happened that way. It's not like Hispanic immigration to the US has been all kumbayah and cheap labor.

There's a big difference between a refugee crisis and a porous border, though. Syrian refugees can't control where they'll end up, so that can't plan things like bringing their gangs (that well at least) and they're not going to be able to smuggle drugs.

The Kowloon walled city was the most cyberpunk soykaf ever.
Everything was illegal in there, the city was it's own government. People like butchers went to work there to avoid sanitary regulations. Just look at the pictures, imagine living there and walking through the alleys to get groceries while people are doing illegal stuff in the room right next to the store.

Cyberwar hasn't been extensively used. Your constraints are a little harsh, OP. Most warfare now is between non-state actors and states. In this realm, cyberwar is actually less of a threat because usually only nation states have both substantial infrastructure and offensive capability.

Between states, cyberwar could be used in the following ways:

1. Disrupting command and control systems. This is the most difficult but the most valuable.

2. Disrupting economic activity of a state. Good example of this is in Russian conflicts where they attacked banks in Estonia or Georgia or Ukraine.

3. Disrupting industrial activity. Stuxnet is the best example.

I'm discriminating here from cyber espionage, which is basically how the Chinese acquire weapons systems. Look at recent Chinese littoral vessels or multirole aircraft.

The lack of open conflict between nation states (and unlikelihood of such conflict ever occurring), combined with the tradeoff that once you shift from being an APT to just disrupting your enemies systems you lose the capabilities for intelligence you once had, means that cyberwar is largely invisible. Russia seems to be the most blatant about offensive cyberwar, along with Israel. Which makes sense because they're both territorially aggressive states with ambitions on their borders.

yo /cyb/ i've recently been cooking an idea in my brain about an entertaining project.

it would be to create a system that monitors and maps interactions of isis 'supporters' and such on twitter.

first, i need links to a few prominent (and authentic) extremist accounts. from there it's a matter of using my cpu cycles to trudge through the nodes between each follow/follower etc.

anyone have any info that could help in this?

Anything more than observation could get OP into trouble. Given what you've said, it sounds like the messenger-nodes have a high signal to noise ratio.

What could be done:

>Observe messenger-node interactions until you can reliably imitate them.

>Decrease the signal to noise ratio by activating imitation messenger-nodes at irregular intervals, or when other nodes, such as T-nodes, interact with them.

Your objective could be to slowly increase the number of observable interactions between imitation messenger-nodes and observers which would decrease the visibility of "true" messenger-nodes.

>You could do this in real time, operating large numbers of automated imitation M-nodes.

If you had the resources, this could be applied to the point of disrupting the entire network. This could be problematic because you'd be attacking the communication medium itself, which is wasteful and ineffective. The primary objective of imitation is observation. Disruption or misdirection should be considered secondary objectives, and applied only when necessary. Diminishing returns and such.

That's a clever hypothesis. I do think some sort of involvement over merely mapping the social network is the end goal. However, you also brought up good criticism against the imitation path.

Both the result of disrupting state-actors ability to retrieve actionable information, and also bolstering a sense within the extremist group of continued propaganda success limits the effectiveness of the whole escapade.

Although it would be entirely a beautiful concoction that is almost too intriguing to resist pursuing. It would necessarily require a "watch the world burn" mindset as I think the negatives far outweight the positives if we were looking at this from an impact (in the limit-terrorist-influence) sense.

But hot damn it would be like a botnet that doesn't just wage slave $2 panties to old women.

With hi-tech and the Bible at the front

Since 1991 drives the former Danish elite soldier, Helge Meyer, in the war zones of the Balkans and supplied children, the elderly and hospitals with emergency supplies, in the form of medicines, food, toys and baby food.

Allen companies, institutions and private citizens we thank wholeheartedly. The US Army, AIR Force, the American and German Church, German Bundeswehr, pharmacies in Germany and Denmark and the toy company LEGO have provided millions of dollars in donations in the period from 1991 to today.
For larger quantities, the company Sixt has provided free trucks available.

To date could take place 106 rides.
Since 1998, the author accompanied him and nurse Nicole Hartmann.

The cost of trips are taken privately and usually organized by overtime.
Mr. Meyer has funded to date for about 100,000 DM rides.

For most trips a Hi-tech Camaro is used, the "BOSNIA EXPRESS". 5.7 liter, 220 hp, nitro system for doubling the horsepower.
