I figured I’d mirror this, just in case. It’s already out there, so the powers that be can’t expect to be able to suppress it.

Sabu also supplied lists of targets that were vulnerable to "zero day
exploits" used to break into systems, including a powerful remote root
vulnerability effecting the popular Plesk software. At his request,
these websites were broken into, their emails and databases were
uploaded to Sabu's FBI server, and the password information and the
location of root backdoors were supplied. These intrusions took place
in January/February of 2012 and affected over 2000 domains, including
numerous foreign government websites in Brazil, Turkey, Syria, Puerto
Rico, Colombia, Nigeria, Iran, Slovenia, Greece, Pakistan, and others.
A few of the compromised websites that I recollect include the
official website of the Governor of Puerto Rico, the Internal Affairs
Division of the Military Police of Brazil, the Official Website of the
Crown Prince of Kuwait, the Tax Department of Turkey, the Iranian
Academic Center for Education and Cultural Research, the Polish
Embassy in the UK, and the Ministry of Electricity of Iraq.

Sabu also infiltrated a group of hackers that had access to hundreds
of Syrian systems including government institutions, banks, and ISPs.
He logged several relevant IRC channels persistently asking for live
access to mail systems and bank transfer details. The FBI took
advantage of hackers who wanted to help support the Syrian people
against the Assad regime, who instead unwittingly provided the U.S.
government access to Syrian systems, undoubtedly supplying useful
intelligence to the military and their buildup for war.

All of this happened under the control and supervision of the FBI and
can be easily confirmed by chat logs the government provided to us
pursuant to the government's discovery obligations in the case against
me. However, the full extent of the FBI's abuses remains hidden.
Because I pled guilty, I do not have access to many documents that
might have been provided to me in advance of trial, such as Sabu's
communications with the FBI. In addition, the majority of the
documents provided to me are under a "protective order" which
insulates this material from public scrutiny. As government
transparency is an issue at the heart of my case, I ask that this
evidence be made public. I believe the documents will show that the
government's actions go way beyond catching hackers and stopping
computer crimes.

• Reverted back to using rsync because I’m lazy
• Changed VPS providers because broke / lazy
• Merged all services to single VPS because broke
• Still no dedicated network access, working on it though
• Will be returning to intarbutts shortly to harangue the masses
• Going to return to blogging about whatever the fuck I want

I think that about covers it. Not changing the style or mechanism of this blog, though. The architecture works in case I want to be really mean and piss off script kids, they’ll have no recourse but to baww.

It still amazes me these days that there are some out there who are vehement proponents of Barack Obama. I can only attribute to these people that denial is the strongest emotion they’re capable of mustering. Denial is the only thing a person can hold on to when faced with the harsh reality that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m going to gather a few points that blast solid democrats out of the water.

I’m running everything I have from a really shitty VPS service right now. It’s actually fairly hilarious how pathetic this service is, but it’s free, so I can’t bitch that much. You always get what you pay for. Always.

If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t had any real network connectivity in what feels like many eternities. I’m still at work too much. I still have a ton of things going on outside of work. I haven’t even called an ISP to find out how much it would cost to begin setup for an account. I’m still with my beautiful sexy pants. I hope that never changes. Our son is huge. He’s only six months old, but the only thing he’s currently wearing that doesn’t squish him is 18 month clothes. He’s huge. He’s a beastly little boy. It’s not even solely the fact that he has filled out, but he’s tall as well. His feet stick a good amount out of his car seat. He’s enormous. He’ll surpass his sister in height before she’s a grown adult, and it’s ridiculous because he’s trailing her seven years in age. I love my midget and my giant. I love my family.

On March 28th my little man decided “enough is enough”, and broke his mom’s water. He kicked the plug from the drain and started the wondrous process of “labor”.

Holy crap.

If he ever gives his mom crap about “I don’t want to” or “I don’t feel like it”, I’ll be the first to stick up for her and say “You know, son, she went through a lot of crap just to bring you into the world. The least you can do is appease your mother. You owe her more than you will ever imagine.”

I’ve been away for a while, it seems. A long while. A few things have changed, but most haven’t. Idiots will be idiots. People who feed off of idiots will always take great amounts of pleasure from feeding off their weaker prey. This is likely how things will be until the day we die.

Here’s a look back at a few things that have happened.

Aaron Swartz took his own life after being handed a ridiculous judgement. No lawyer in the world can protect you when you’re coming up against serious money. He never actually committed any crimes, he only did extraordinary things. The extraordinary things he did earned him a place in the crosshairs of rather rich individuals.

I’m being worked like a dog. Things are getting so rough at work that I had to sleep 18 hours to catch up. I feel better now than I have in a very long time.

That said, I’ve also taken some important steps in my life to make me feel empowered. I’ve cut bad rubbish out. I’ve needed to remove negative influences from my life so that I might start in a positive direction with my new life, doing what I need to do to ensure the success of myself and my own.

I do think anger is a good thing to rid yourself of. It’s not worth carrying around. It drags you down. It weighs on your ability to see that which is truly important. I let it run it’s course, vile and pure as it is, then I drop it as quickly as it comes. I leave it alone, because those who wish to cause me to be angry really aren’t worth being angry with. I can overcome any obstacle thrown in my way. Creating obstacles for others is far more time consuming than overcoming them. For that reason I don’t concern myself with such petty people and their petty games. I actually have a life to live. I have a family. I have people who love me. I have a wonderful baby boy on the way. My life isn’t callous and hollow, my life has meaning.
