NSA key to Windows: an open question

In this story: Computer expert: 'a small deal' Report shocked crypto experts Open-source versus 'shrink-wrapped' crypto RELATED STORIES, SITES |
(CNN) - Microsoft operating systems have a backdoor entrance for the National Security Agency, a cryptography expert said Friday, but the software giant denied the report and other experts differed on it.
The chief scientist at an Internet security company said Microsoft built in a "key" for the nation's most powerful intelligence agency to the cryptographic standard used in Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT4 and Windows2000.
To use cryptographic applications in Windows, users must load its cryptography architecture in a standard called CryptoAPI.
A year ago, researchers discovered there were two keys, or digital signatures, that allowed the loading of CryptoAPI -- Microsoft had one but the identity of the other keyholder was a mystery.
Andrew Fernandes of Ontario-based Cryptonym Corp. and his colleagues now say the NSA holds the second key because they found that a recent service pack for Windows NT failed to cloak the second key, revealing it as "_NSAKEY."
"In the data security profession, those three initials only mean one thing: National Security Agency," Fernandes said.
Microsoft denied that the key belongs to the NSA, saying instead that the "_NSAKEY" label simply means the cryptography architecture meets the NSA's standards for export.
"These reports are completely false," said Microsoft spokesman Dan Leach.
"The key does not allow any other party to start or stop cryptographic services on anyone's computers.
"So no, the government cannot spy on your computer using Microsoft software. We don't intentionally leave backdoors. Microsoft has consistently opposed key escrow because we feel it is no good for the consumer, for Microsoft and no good for the government."
Fernandes said the NSA key would allow the intelligence agency to load services on users' machines without their authorization, an option it more likely would use against a corporation than an individual.
Fernandes posted a "fix" to the key on his Web site Friday, along with a press release announcing his report on the second key. The NSA failed to return comment on the key.
The alleged NSA key came to light just days after Microsoft squelched a breach to its Web-based e-mail service, Hotmail.
For to be honest Linux also have crappy points but it is free
Ok thare are crappy things with linux too. Furst of all you have to learn some things. But if you want only to type some documents, to check your e-mails and to browse the net you dont need to learn almost anything and you will have more robust system in any case. And not forget bunch of free programs. And your information is much safer.
I myself have both crappy systems on my brick.
Here I am linking again one of my favorite distro articles ROFL
Is your information safe - may be, but I don't think so
54080 intrusions (1082 hi rated)
353754 access attempts
And guess what. The best security specialist in Belgacom (biggest telecom and ISP in Belgium) is Russian women - 30 years old. On her test she crack secured by socalled specialists server for just 15 minutes when they toght 24 hrs will be very good achievement.
Keep in mind that all PC's produced by american companies have installed key loggers just in case NSA wants to know what the fuck you are typing. But the problem is that not only NSA knows about this back doors. Some of this kinda stuff is integrated in Windows itself and many crackers know about that so they browse your files when they want to.
Of cource there can be encryption but in case of keylogger instaled encryption becomes useless - they just have your password in plain text:))
But dont't panic, who cares.

megaseller.be - don't try this at home!
You got a problem with your device? Get ready to pay big bucks because once you purchased something you get only possibility to complain or to ask questions via payed line
You got your VISA credit card charged? In Belgium you are in the shit. Unlike in Spain where you can make immidiately chargeback from your bank branch here in Belgium you can send to VISA fax and then to wait for the mercy of God for to have your money back. Basicly buyng online in Belgium is risky business. Use only very trusted online shops.

What is scaring for me is that so many people believe in absurds.
here one linux user who knows a bit more but he dont understand what irony means. Indeed most of USB modems are not supported and you have to search them created by volunteers. However many times you will have problems with missing packages and just things you don't know when you are new with linux. One example is http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=287227
The truth is that most of hardware producers do not support linux, they just don't care and this make some difficulties for the new users like me but every problem has a solution.
I wrote this bulshit just for fun and to see the peoples reaction. Actually I am using both Windows and Suse 10.1 and I do not understand why most of the visitors of the site believe that any of the articles on STR are serious. This is simply impossible. As you can see the autor is able to run very old version of red hat (I think this is very difficult for a newbie)and obviously he know a lot more about computers and networks and about linux. He use linux as a server and all time he writes absurds and actually he jockes with Microsoft and their policy and also with republicans and their belives.
This kind of irony can be seen on few sites where the autors are ateists and liberals and they ridicule tipical conservative people. Usually I have a lot of fun with this sites. Coments are also very funny.
The strange think is that only minority get the joke.

don't miss it! It will make your day.
What is scaring for me is that so many people believe in absurds. They can have a lot of knowledge about the matter but they are not able to see a simpe truth. This make them easy to be manipulated.

First smart ass have something to say LOL
Comment:
Either ur stupid either u pretend to be.First of all you don't just buy an os from a dealer down the street, unless ure really really stupid. Second, corel linux is antique, and by all means, what you had there it was not corel linux, actually, it was not linux at all. Corel linux was developed by Corel Inc., the sames that produce corel office suite, wich is much better than microsoft office btw.
Third, all linux support internet connection including modems. If u didn't knew how to configure it, that's ur problem. Noone says to write ur own driver, u just search for it on yor modem provider site. Btw, modems in linux usually use generic drivers, wich do come with linux. Fourth, what the fuck linux version did u use??
Fifth, linux is what drives the internet.
If u dono what ure talking about, then shut the fuck up. From what u said there, i can bet u were lying about being an IT expert. If u wanna buy an os, you go to a certified store or provider, not the dealer down the street. What is with u people?? What has mafia to do with linux??

Linux is very obsessive thing
Very first time I got linux it was from dealer on the street. First of oll this linux - it was Corel linux did not work on my computer. Thanks God. Unfortunately we have tested it on the computer of my friend. Of cource we did not know how dangerous thing it is. After starting instalation on the screen have appeared group of japanies mafia yakudza with guns pointed to us. Then linux have deleted all hard drive of my friend. We wrest the power cable from the wall but it was too late. All information was lost. His wife hava played on the game Sims months and she have had a lot of property money and children. Now everything was lost. This was the warning but I did not listen. Years later my problems become even worster. I have installed Suse on system and there was several wornings on the screen. I choose expert options because I am IT expert of cource and the result was that I could not start Windows anymore and I did not have internet. Simply Linux does not support my modem. Actually Linux does not support any modems and when you use Linux you have to work offline. Of cource I have installed windows again but during the process all my data was lost. I have asked where I can find drivers for Linux as they are not included in the DVD I have both. The answer was that if I want driver for my modem I have to write it myself?!
All this is serious. No shit.

Take it serious. No shit. Thehehehehe
Benjamin Farewell - tipical linux user - he don’t know what he is talking about.
First of all I spend yesterday night installing this corel linux on one old PC. There was something about Debian inside. I think they use Debian kernel. However althougt I have been waithing with camera in my hands to make a photo of the jap maf yakudza they did not appear. May be this are special linux trick and the threat appear only ones and then you can not proove it any more because it disappeares from the cd.
You say “it was not linux at all” You really mean That Corel Linux is not linux?! Bulshit. It is 100% linux It names show this. Simple.
Never heard about Corel Office suit. When it was better someone will use it but I dont know nobody using it! Why? Because probably it is a crap.
About modems. You think that I do not know how to configure my modem and you are maybe right but I know people who already are using linux for five years and they are forced to by second computer with Windows. Thanks God it is free and delivered with all new computers. Then they have internet and they are using their linux only in their local network but everybody knows that linux does not support modems but only LAN and only way to get internet via modem is WINDOWS!!! Or you have to find ISP who provide LAN cable to your home.
You say “First of all you don’t just buy an os from a dealer down the street” And my answer is - I am forced to buy it from the street because you can not find it in respectfull shops or otherwise it is very expensive. By the way here in Belgium instaling linux cost money:
“Linux installation service in our shop:
75 eur/installation.Also with dual boot windows/linux.
With transporter:+45 eur” Total 120 euros - about 150 USD

There is no free lunch my man;)
