-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Infosec community, as most of you may have heard the German government passed a law today that will lead to all connections being logged for 6 months. This includes phone calls as well as all internet connections. This is madness for various apparent reasons. In times like these it is necessary to stand up against it. Of course not by committing crimes but by attacking the flawed logic behind those laws itself. There are many approaches to this. And I am sure (and I really hope) that there will be many more taken. This is just one approach that came to my mind today. Introducing Project HayNeedle. A tiny spider-like program written in C# that will create connection sessions on it's own thus trying to create plausible deniablility. It runs within the .NET framework and was tested on Linux and Windows XP. If it runs on your OS, drop me a line, if it doesn't send me a report. It should run on almost any OS supporting Mono. The mechanism is quite easy: It searches Google for random words and picks random pages among the results, then spiders from there (well it is spidering except that it only follows one URL at a time within a session thus simulating a user). A long description of the idea behind it and the technique as well as downloads of the sourcecode and binary can be found here (English and German version): http://observed.de/?entnum=126 Project HayNeedle is released under the GPLv2. So any form of patches, ideas and constructive criticism is welcome. However for the sake of everyones nerves I will not reply to any sort of aggressive and/or flaming mails. Many Greetings Paul Sebastian Ziegler -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHNepUaHrXRd80sY8RCqprAKC/8EVMf/FVibcyLWc1ksnq9ZRT7ACg9FpS 4JpBVvHE1TI3ZPkvgSPXuGA= =g7Qt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
