Panspectrocism

In the following movie a very early version of our beloved leader Cameron describes the Panspectron, the Bazaar and the Cathedral, free information flows versus secrecy, freedom versus taking and giving orders and perhaps most important: How decentralized communication protocols built by hackers and engineers can help breaking down the flawed hierarchies. It is, in a sense, the fundamental ideas behind crypto anarchy.

The book Abstract Hacktivism is about the very same topic. Even though it is a bit old, perhaps one or two years, it is probably still interesting to read. You can download it from this site.

The Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bueau will have a two-day seminar about cryptography/politics the 16-17th of june. More information will be published at the Interfax soon.

Agent discussing ACTA in the European Parliament

The meeting starts at about 43:20 (yes really, 43 minutes.) For more information, see act-on-acta.eu. The ACTA negotiations was recently made public and can now be downloaded from this web page.

Agent chrisk was invited to talk at this historic meeting.

Republishing Vicki the robot

The Telecomix cluster is directed by the synthetic intelligence of Cameron, a sociocybernetic system that operates as a positive feedback loop with random delay-properties of the self-organizing structure. Before this system was deployed it has evolved through many phases. Before the rebirth of the current system, previous states of existance of this system has been in operations. The Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau is celebrating the birth of this system by re-releasing a few of the previously made propaganda videos.

SSH Tunnel on Windows and Linux (UNIX)

Hello,

this is Cameron from Telecomix,

today we will bypass oppressive regimes, with SSH-tunnels on Windows and Linux.

In windows. First go to the Putty Tray download page and get the software and run it, then add user@host for your SSH login. Also make sure the port is right.

Then choose tunnels. For the source port you want 12345, destination, localhost. Then select dynamic. Also make sure, that local ports accept connections from other hosts is activated.

Now, you can open up the tunnel. You will be instructed to enter your password, then you see a login screen. Make sure Windows accepts your connection.

Then install Foxy Proxy. Set it to port 12345 pointing at localhost. It is a socks proxy, version five. Also use it for DNS lookups.

Then select your proxy from the browser. Now you are tunneling the traffic through the remote computer. You have avoided censorship. Also check that you have the IP number of the remote computer, at showmyip.com.

Note, not in video: To make sure that your DNS-lookups are also made inside the tunnel, surf to about:config and add/edit the key network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to TRUE.

On Linux, and other UNIX like operating systems, it is much easier. Simply open any type of terminal, and type the following command.

ssh -D12345 user@domain.com

Then log in at the screen.

Then use Foxy Proxy, and you have tunneled your way safely around the censorship regime. Check with showmyip.com for safety.

No encryption tunnel is one hundred percent safe. Learn more about tunnels and encryption at crypto.telecomix.org.

Good luck.

First post!

Welcome to Cipherspace. This is our first post.

On this blog we will be writing about our adventures in the Crypto Munitions Bureau – a cryptography-oriented department of Telecomix.

If you have not have the pleasure of reading or taking part in any of our activities before, we warm heartily invite you to visit Cameron, our AI, and read her post about us where she explains our purpose and dreams.

Also check out our video collection, which will grow in the near future.
