Messenger Service problem!
I'm running a Windows XP Professional without SP2 (i know i should update it)
and i got this message from the messenger service once every minute:
Message from "a computer name" to "my computer name" on "date"
My god! Some one killed ChineseHacker-2 Monitor
I searched the net for solutions and i found out that it should be the
PE_CHIR.B worm. I also downloaded trend micro's special tool against this
worm, but that didn't find any malware on my computer (just like my AVG
antivirus and anti-spyware )...trend micro also says that i should have a
file named runouce.exe in my registry, but i haven't found it where it should
be.
So what should i try? I'm not a computer expert, so if it's possible give
simple (but good) solutions. :) Big thanks! Tag: Windows Security Center Tag: 96172
Missing system 32 files on startup and sonic installer active
I have a dell laptop inspiron 630m running windowa XP
I think i may have a virus/hijacker, recently my anti virus went crazy and
started deleting parts of normal files(Corel, sonic and others) it recognised
as virus. I tried to do a system restore but it wouldn't work and the date of
the available system restore is the date when the problems began. I don't
want to run avg again until i find out what the problem is. I have dowloaded
threatfire and run trend micro and mcaffee but it hasn't fixed anything.
I have tried to delete the files running in a loop telling me to put in a cd
to reinstal the files such a sonic

Erasing unwanted accounts in my box
I inherited a Windows computer that I have been using fine, but there
are a number of accounts that I would like to delete:
~
1) ASPNET
2) Guest
3) Helpassistant
4) SUPPORT_388945a0
~
While viewing these accounts under windows:

~
http://www.geocities.com/tekmonk2005/pix/WindowsPW04_Groups.JPG

I noticed that even if the account RLopez belongs to the network
domain "EXCHANGE", it would successfully log in even if the computer
is not connected to any network at all
~
I read online about busybox and I ran it on my box

http://www.geocities.com/tekmonk2005/pix/BusyBox02_PssWrdz.JPG
~
I also ran busybox in other Windows boxes and they showed if the
account had admin rights or not, why doesn't this box show it?
~
Also, what is this "dis/lock" thing that you can see?
~
How can you those "ASPNET", "SUPPORT_388945a0", "helpassistant" and
"support" be totally removed from my computer?
~
Any good and authoritative information about login accounts and file
based security for Windows and in general?

M'I`5'Per secution , ab use in set-up situa tions an d in p ublic
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= abuse in set-up situations and in public. -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Strangers in the street have recognized me on sight. many times, and shown
awareness of the current thread of abuse. To. give you one example, in 1992
I was seriously ill, and a manager. at work somewhat humorously said that
"it wasn't fair" that people were. bullying me. A few days later, I attended
for the. first time a clinic in London as an outpatient, and on my way out
was accosted by someone. who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis
on the word. "fare". He repeated the word several times in this different
context; that they should have paid. my "fare", each time emphasizing the
word.
For. two and a half years from the time their harassment started until
November 1992 I refused to see a psychiatrist, because I. reasoned that I
was not ill of my own action. or fault, but through the stress caused by
harassment, and that a lessening of the illness. would have to be consequent
to a removal of its. immediate cause, in other words a cessation of
harassment. I. also reasoned that since they were taunting me with jokes
about mental illness, if I were to seek treatment then the. abusers would
think that they had "won" and been proved "right". Remember, the. constant
theme of. any persecution is, "we must destroy you because you're X",
whether X is a racial or other attribute.. In this case the X was "we
persecute you because you have brain disease".. The similarity of this logic
to Nazi attitudes to. the mentally ill is striking.
The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair" asked me in. winter 1992 why I
didn't seek help from a psychiatrist;. was it, he asked, because "they would
think they had won" if I sought treatment? That was something. I'd never
said at work.... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many such
things over a. period of months proves conclusively that people in the
company knew what was going on,. and in quite a lot of detail.
Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your
fare". Most people's imagination does not go beyond. moronic parroting of
the current term of denigration. That is not surprising given the. average
level of the abusers; if they. do not have the intelligence to distinguish
wrong from right then neither will they have the. capacity for anything
other than mindless repetition of a. monosyllabic term calculated to fit
into. their minds.
The first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in the. summer
of 1990, although they increased in frequency. and venom with time. In July
1990 the first public incident occurred on a. tube train on the Northern
line. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the. women sprang to my
defence, saying "He looks perfectly normal,. he doesn't look ill". Their
boyfriends of course knew better, and followed. the party line; one of them
made reference to an "operation", apparently to work. at the tube station
but implicitly to a visit that I had made to hospital a couple. of weeks
previously.
In August 1990 going. home from college, soon after getting on a tube train
at Gloucester Road I was followed by a group. of four youths, who started a
chant of abuse. That they were targeting me. was confirmed by other people
in the carriage, one of whom asked the other "who. are they going on at, is
it the bloke who. just got on?" to which the second replied "yes, I think
so".. I was tempted to reply, but as in every other instance the abusers are
enabled in their cowardice by physically outnumbering the. abused; any
confrontation would result in my being beaten up,. followed by a complaint
to the police that "he attacked. us", and of course he's ill, so he must
have been imagining. that we were getting at him. Shitty, aren't they?
But the shittiness of the four youths on the tube train. is as nothing
compared to the episode on. the National Express coach to Dover in the
summer of 1992. While going on holiday. to the Continent I was verbally set
upon by a couple travelling sitting a few rows behind.. The boy did the
talking, his female companion contributing only. a continuous empty giggling
noise. He spoke loudly to ensure other people on. the coach heard, always
about "they". and "this bloke" but never naming either the abusers or the
person he was talking about. He said "they" had "found somebody. from his
school, and he was always really stressed at school". They must have. dug
deep to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped. out of school,
someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous and keen. to get their
own back? The boy also said "he was in a bed and breakfast for only. one
night and they got him". By a not unexpected coincidence I had. been in a
B&B in Oxford a week previously, which had been. booked from work; other
things lead. me to the conclusion that the company's offices were bugged for
most of the. 2 1/2 years that I was there, so "they" would have known a room
in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll. bet "they" didn't tell the company's
managers. their offices were bugged, did they?).
After a few minutes of this I went back to. where they were sitting and
asked where they were travelling. The boy. named a village in France, and
the girl's giggling suddenly. ceased; presumably it permeated to her brain
cell what the purpose of. the boy's abuse was.
This and other set-up situations are. obviously calculated to provoke a
direct confrontation which. would bring in the police, with the abusers
claiming. that they were the ones attacked. Again in 1992, outside the
house. where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked by someone -
not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals. thrown in for good
measure. That was something the. people at work shouldn't have known
about.... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of
me. about, "I heard he was attacked". The UK police have a responsibility
for preventing assault occurring, but they. do not seem to take any interest
in meeting that. responsibility. I suppose their attitude is that harassment
does not come. within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and
they. will only become involved once that happens. That is of course quite
the wrong attitude for them to take, but. as I now understand, the police
investigate only the. crime they wish to investigate; if they do not take
your complaints seriously then. there is nothing you can do to make them
take. action.

-= why won't the. British police do their job and put a stop to it? -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The British police obviously do know. what is taking place. Besides my
interpretations of what individual officers have said which. forces that
conclusion, it would be. inconceivable for them to be unaware of something
on. this scale.
If they. know, then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in the
UK and abroad. Recently the. UK introduced laws against electronic spying
which carry a. penalty of several years jail if caught. If the police know
illegal harassment is taking place, and do. nothing about it, then they are
failing in their. responsibilities.
Last Easter (1995) I went. into the local police station in London and spoke
to an officer. about the harassment against me. But I couldn't provide
tangible evidence;. what people said, in many cases years ago, is beyond
proof, and without. something to support my statements I cannot expect a
police officer to. take the complaint seriously.
The current situation with. regard to the police is not one which allows a
breakthrough in dealing with. the problem. On the one hand, most individual
officers at a local police station may not know about the ongoing. assaults,
so a complaint at that level will not yield. results. Yet the police as an
organisation do. know of the harassment, and they must be aware that a
complaint has been. made at a police station. So it is clearly their duty to
take preventative action against the continuing molestation, but. because
the criminals. are operating on behalf of a state agency, the police are not
carrying. out their duty.

The article of which part is reproduced below. was penned by Bernard Levin
for. the Features section of the Times on 21 September 1991. To my mind, it
described the situation at the time and in particular a. recent meeting with

At the time this article was written I had believed for some. time that
columnists in the Times and other journalists had. been making references to
my situation. Nothing unusual about this you may think,. plenty of people
have the same sort of ideas and obviously the. papers aren't writing about
them, so why should my beliefs not. be as false as those of others?
What makes this article. so extraordinary is that three or four days
immediately preceding its publication, I had a meeting with a. friend,
during the course of which we discussed. the media persecution, and in
particular that by Times columnists.. It seemed to me, reading the article
by Levin in Saturday?s paper, that he. was describing in some detail his
"artist?s impression". of that meeting. Most telling are the final
sentences,. when he writes, "The madman bursts into tears, and swears it is
all true. And it is." Although I did not. "burst into tears" (he seems to be
using a bit of poetic licence and exaggerating) I did try hard to. convince
my friend that it was. all true; and I am able to concur with Mr Levin,
because,. of course, it is.
At the beginning of the piece. Levin reveals a fear of being attacked by the
"irrational" subject of his story, saying "I. have no reason to believe that
he is violent, but. he should certainly be approached with caution". This
goes. back to the xenophobic propaganda of "defence" against a "threat"
which was seen at the very beginning of the harassment.. The impression of a
"madman running loose" who needs to be. controlled through an agency which
assigns to itself the mantle. of the "police" is also one which had been
expressed. elsewhere.
In the. final paragraph of this extract, his reference to Everyman?s Library
as having "died a lingering and. shameful death a decade or so ago" shows
clearly what sort of conclusion they wish to. their campaign. They want a
permanent solution, and as they are prevented from achieving. that solution
directly, they waste. significant resources on methods which have been
repeatedly shown to. be ineffective for such a purpose.

M I.5 P ersecution who k nows a bout it?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=. who knows about it? =-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Many people know, both in the establishment and. media, and among the
general public. Despite. an absence of its target from the UK for more than
two years, the echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud and clear. from
across the water. When it started in 1990, the only people who knew. were
those in BBC television who were spying on my. home, and a few radio
broadcasters. There were a few. cases of public harassment, but very little
compared to. the situation that developed a couple of years later.
The list today includes. BBC TV staff (newsreaders such as Martyn Lewis,
Michael Buerk, Nicholas Witchell), people from radio stations such. as
Chris Tarrant of Capital. and Radio 1 DJs, people in the print media, but
also many people in. the general public. All united in a conspiracy which
breaks the laws which the UK does have. regarding harassment, and all
completely uncaring for. any semblance of decency or elementary respect
for. individual rights.
The British police (obviously) do know the nature. of the harassment and in
all probability the identity of. those behind it. Some time ago I made a
complaint to my local. police station in London, without positive result.
The UK police are failing in their duty to see the law enforced. in not
checking the. abuse.

-= how and. why did it start? -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone must. have been there at
the outset to give it a firm push and set the. "animals" after me. It looks
as if I was set. up in June 1990, and the timing indicates someone from
university was. responsible.
>One thing which has been missing from this. discussion is this simple
>prognosis: that maybe he. is right and that, despite his admitted
>mental condition, there really is a campaign. against him organised by
>now-influential ex-students of his. university.
In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman on Radio. 1 read out a letter from someone
who had known me for a few years, who wrote. of the one who "wore out his
welcome with random precision" (from the Pink Floyd song). Freeman went. on
to say. to the writer "that's a hell of a letter you wrote there". The
indication is strongly that people. I had parted from soon before nursed a
grudge against me and were trying. to cause trouble for me.
The suggestion is that Freeman might have. shown the letter to other people,
and things could have snowballed from there. Right from the start the. real
source. (security services presumed) didn't announce themselves as the
origin, but. let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they were the
originators. Think about it; if you announce,. "we're MI5 and we have a
campaign against this bloke". then people might not go along with it; but if
you say, "everyone else is getting at this bloke. because he 'deserves' it"
then. people will join in with fewer qualms.
>Why would "they" wish to. assassinate your character?
It's the classic case of hitting a cripple. to prove you're stronger. Why
would the security services expend hundreds. of thousands of pounds and more
than six years of. manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because they
are motivated. by people who knew me at university and feel personal
animosity; because they. knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is in the
nature of bullies to prey on those known to be weak;. and because they can
rely on the complicity. of the establishment, which the security services
manipulate and derive funding from. This is England's. biggest humiliation
today, and the British. security services are intent on preventing their
humiliation. becoming reality by continuing their campaign of attempted
murder to suppress the. truth from becoming public.

PM: >it worth the while of the state to spend over. one and a quarter million
PM:. >on you?
Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my. head
once I stopped. to consider what it must be costing them to run this
operation. The partial answer is, there have been periods when. the
intensity has been greater, and times when little has. happened. In fact,
for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very. little happened. Although
I don't think that was for reasons of money - if they can. tap into the
taxpayer they're not going to be. short of resources, are they?
The more complete. answer is in the enormity of what they're doing. Relative
to the cost to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for. the
persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of. four or five
people to try to. bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To
the government a million or two is. quite honestly nothing - if they can
convince themselves of the. necessity of what they're doing, resources will
not. be the limiting factor.

M.I 5.Perse cution - Capi tal Radio - Chr is T arrant
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant. -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
Capital Radio DJs have been "in on. it" from the start. One of the first
things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who. said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you. see. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so. far away
the precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept. of the
details, and although archives if they. exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that. open to
re-interpretation.
In. spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone. else in the studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said,
"You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be. done
for. attempted manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had said a day or. two before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff. member in the studio he was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to. Tarrant. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it could be found there; what. he said
was so out of context that he would be very hard put to find. an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the site. where I was working repeated the
remark. although in a different way; they said there had been people in a
computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went. off and those people
were "thinking of suing for attempted. manslaughter".
Finally,. this isn't confined to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a pirate radio station in South. London for about
half an hour, there was an audible. phone call in the background, followed
by total silence for. a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture?. He's going to talk to us now, isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear. what I would say in my room.

That's exactly what we did. We. went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our. house. They used
scanner devices. which go to over 1 GHz and would pick up any nearby
transmitter in that range, they also checked the phones and. found
nothing... but if the tap was at. the exchange, then they wouldn't find
anything, would. they?
CS: >Doesn't. this suggest to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found?
You can assume that they've done this sort of thing. to other people in more
"serious" cases, where. they would know the targets would suspect the
presence of electronic. surveillance. So they will have developed techniques
and devices which are not readily detectable either by visual inspection. or
by electronic. means. What those techniques might be, I couldn't guess.
In this case, the existence of bugging. devices was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in" with what. was said by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance. people to be
called in,. who they knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility to the. other things I would have to say relating to the
harassment.
I did all the things someone in my situation would do to try to. find the
bugs. In addition to. calling in professional help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I. made a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment, plus any points where. audio or video surveillance devices might
have been. concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras". are quite noticeable and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the. best place to put a small video surveillance
device would be additional. to a piece of electronic equipment such as a TV
or video. It would be necessary to physically break in. to a property to fit
such. a device.

M-I 5.Pers ecution . t he BBC , televisi on and ra dio
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= the BBC,. television and radio -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
The first incident in June 1990 was when a BBC newsreader made. what seemed
to be a reaction to. something which had happened in my home, and out of
context of what they were reading. My first reaction was. disbelief; nothing
of the. sort had ever happened before, the idea that such a thing could
occur had not crossed. my mind, yet there was no doubt of what had just
taken place.. My disbelief eroded as this recurred time after time. Besides
the news, offenders included. shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and
"entertainment" shows. There seems to. be very little moral understanding
among the people who make these programmes; they just assume they. will
never be caught, so they carry on without a thought for. the illegality or
amorality of what they do. The only time I ever heard a word raised. in
doubt was by Paxman being interviewed by someone else (I think. by Clive
Anderson). back in 1990; referring to the "watching" he said it troubled
him, and when. asked by the host what you could do about it, replied "Well,
you. could just switch it off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the
studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand in the way. of continued
surreptitious spying from his own. or other people's shows, though.
Now you're convinced this is a troll, aren't you? This story has been. the
subject of much. debate on the uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and
some readers. believe it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that
a group of psychology students. are responsible!), others think it
symptomatic. of a derangement of the author, and a few give it credence.
Quite a few people do know part or. all of the story already, so this text
will fill in the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest, what may. persuade
you of the third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed. are
checkable against any archives of radio and TV programmes. that exist; that
the incidents involve named people. (even if those hiding in the shadows
have. not made their identity or affiliations evident), and those people
may be persuaded. to come out with the truth; and that the campaign of
harassment is continuing today both in the UK and on the. American
continent, in a none-too-secret. fashion; by its nature the significant risk
of exposure increases. with time.
On several occasions people said to my face that harassment from the. TV was
happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford,. I spent the evening in the
local pub with the. company's technical director Ian, and Phil, another
employee. Ian made a few references to me and said. to Phil, as if in an
aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to which Phil. replied, "Yes, I
think. so".
I made a number of efforts to find the bugs,. without success; last year we
employed professional counter-surveillance. people to scan for bugs (see
later) again without result. In autumn 1990 I disposed of my TV. and watched
virtually no television. for the next three years. But harassment from TV
stations has gone on for over. six years and continues to this day. This is
something that many people obviously know is happening; yet. the TV staff
have. the morality of paedophiles, that because they're getting away with it
they feel no. wrong.
Other people. who were involved in the abuse in 1990 were DJs on BBC radio
stations, notably disc. jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see the
following section). Again, since. they don't have sense in the first place
they can't be expect to have the moral sense. not to be part of criminal
harassment.

PKI structure changes
We've currently got a 1-tier PKI setup with an enterprise-root CA. I'd like
to move to a 3-tier - offline standalone root, offline standalone policy, and
an enterprise issuing. I can't find any docs to explain how to get there.
Do I need to tear down the existing to bring up the new one, or can they
exist side by side?

EFS Decryption - Lost Certificate
Hi,
Sometime back, I had encrypted a folder on my hard drive. In between,
I changed my password. Obviously, I was denied access to those files
thereafter. So I went back and restored my previous password. Still, I
can't access the files. However, when I check Advanced Properties >
Encryption Attribute Details, my username is shown in the list of
users who have transparent access to the file(s). To add to my woes, I
didn't make a backup of the encryption certificate, and XP has no
default recovery agent, as I learned later.
Is there any way to recover these files? Or are they gone for good?

Issuing Code-signing Certificate with Private Key
Hello group,
I am issuing a code-signing certificate from an Enterprise CA. I am
currently using the Certificate Services' web interface with the code-
signing template.
There does not seem to be an option to export the private key, though
I understand that is a requirement in Visual Studio 2005. When using
ClickOnce, Visual Studio reponds that "The selected file does not
contain a private key. You must choose a certificate that contains a
private key."
I have exported the key using the Certificates MMC. The Certificate
Authority is reporting that "the associated private key is marked as
not exportable."
What am I missing?

Help PKI installation - lots of questions !
Hello,
First, I want to thank those who have already helping me here (Bryan
and others....) but I need help again :)
I'm not friendly with PKI. So in this post, I sum up all things I done
and I ask questions about some steps.
Thanks for your help :)
I have 7 domains :
ROOT.LOCAL. (thoe forest root domain, ressources domain, no user,
located at Mexico)
AMERICAS.LOCAL. (technical domain, located in Mexico)
MEXICO.AMERICAS.LOCAL. (located at Mexico)
BRAZIL.AMERICAS.LOCAL. (located at Rio)
ASIA.LOCAL. (technical domain, located at Tokyo)
JAPAN.ASIA.LOCAL. (located at Tokyo)
KOREA.ASIA.LOCAL. (located at Seoul)
There are 4 AD sites :
MEXICO site (for DC of ROOT.LOCAL., AMERICAS.LOCAL. and
MEXICO.AMERICAS.LOCAL.)
RIO site (for DC of BRAZIL.AMERICAS.LOCAL.)
TOKYO site (for DC of ASIA.LOCAL. and TOKYO.ASIA.LOCAL.)
KOREA site (for DC or KOREA.ASIA.LOCAL.)
All site are connected with MEXICO (hub site) with 20Mb/s link (uptime
24/7).
PKI Target architecture :
Three Tier PKI
One STAND ALONE ROOT CA called SACAMX00 (SA stand for Stand Alone, CA
for Certificate Authority, MX for Mexico not for the domain -machine
is in workgroup- but site)
Two STAND ALONE INTERMEDIATE CA called SACAAM01 (AM stand for America
not for the domain -machine is in workgroup- but site) and SACAAS01
(AS stand for Asia not for the domain -machine is in workgroup- but
site)
Then, two Enterprise Issuing SA in each domains called ENCAJP01 and
ENCAJP02 (EN stand for Enterprise, JP for Japan), same for others
domains ENCAKR01 and ENCAKR02 (KR stand for Korea) etc ... Name :
ENCAxx0y where xx are code corresponding of domain name.
Stand alone CA are secured virtual machines.
Name of CA are :
- CA Root
- AMERICAS Sub & CA ASIA Sub
- CA JAPAN Iss1, CA JAPAN Iss2, ...
Ok, let's see the installation steps:
Installation of SACAMX00
------------------------
Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP2 with IIS (even IIS is not necessary)
Configuration of CAPolicy.inf before CA services looks like that :
[Version]
Signature= "$Windows NT$"
[LegalPolicy]
OID= 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.21.43
Notice= "http://intranet.americas.local/pki/cps.asp"
[Certsrv_Server]
RenewalKeyLength= 4096
RenewalValidityPeriod= Years
RenewalValidityPeriodUnits= 20
[CRLDistributionPoint]
[AuthorityInformationAccess]
Q-01 Is the " " (space caracter) is required ?
Q-02 What does legalpolicy section mean ? And what about notice
parameter (can I change this parameter later?) ? Why this OID ? Does
it show somewhere in my CA ?
Q-03 What about Certsrv_server section ? We can configure these
parameters laters, after the installation or we have to set its now ?
Q-04 CRLDistributionPoint and AuthorityInformationAccess are
explicited wrote and left blank. Why ? What's happened if I don't add
these sections ?
Then, I install CA services.
SYSOCMGR /I:SYSOC.INF
In the wizard, I specify a 4096 Key and a validity period of 20 years.
Q-05 Is it redundant with Certsrv_Server section in CAPolicy.inf ?
What was the real utility of this section ?
CERTUTIL "CA Root.cer"
Q-06 Is that action wich create the cert file ? Without this command,
no .cer generated anywhere else ? Or should I specify option -
ca.cert ?
I map the offline root CA to the AD configuration container
CERTUTIL -setreg ca\DSConfig CN=Configuration,DC=ROOT,DC=LOCAL
Q-07 The Offline root never communicate with AD, why need we set this
parameter ? What about this parameter exactly ?
Q-08 Can we do the same action modifying the registry ?
Then I configure CDPs. I clear all checkboxes where CRL Delta is
mentionned. I have 3 CDP, on local, one LDAP and one HTTP.
Q-09 Can I uncheck "Include in CRLs. Client use this to find Delta CRL
locations." on all CDP because I don't use Delta CRL in an offline
CA ? Or is this option has others consequences ?
Then I configure AIAs with a local file publication, a LDAP and a
HTTP.
Q-10 Is there a difference if I set this parameters using REGEDIT.EXE
instead of using Extension tab in the GUI ?
Then I configure CRL publication interval. I set 180 days. (left blank
Delta CRLs)
Q-11 Should I publish again CRL when I change CRL interval ?
Q-12 If I change CRL interval, are my certificated already issued
still valid ?
Q-13 180 Days, does that mean I have to bring online my CA in order to
publish my CRL again even if no certificate are revoked ? Or does it
expire (when? How to configure it ?) ?
Then I modify "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/
CertSvc/Configuration/Root CA". I set ValidityPeriod to Years,
ValidityPeriodUnit with 10.
Q-14 Can we set theses options in CAPolicy ?
Q-15 Is the CAPolicy.inf file modified by wizards or other after the
installation ?
Installation of SACAAM01
------------------------
Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP2 with IIS (even IIS is not necessary)
Configuration of CAPolicy.inf before CA services looks like that :
[Version]
Signature= "$Windows NT$"
[PolicyStatementExtension]
Policies= AllInssuancePolicy
Critical= FALSE
[AllIssuancePolicy]
OID= 2.5.29.32.0
Q-16 Is PolicyStatementExtension section required ? Why ?
Q-17 OID 2.5.29.32.0 was in a exemple CAPolicy.inf file I found. Is it
the good OID ? Is there only one OID for subordinate CA ?
Q-18 What does critical parameter mean exactly ? It is not a technical
parameter.
Q-19 Why there are no section with Renewal information ? Because it is
set by the Root CA so we don't need to specify here ?
Then I insatll binaries
SYSOCMGR /I:SYSOC.INF
In the wizard, I specify a 2048 Key and a validity period of 10 years.
Q-20 Should I prefer choice a 4096 bits key ? (it's an offline root,
what is the drawback if I choice a 4096 bits key ?
I modify registry as for the Root CA. I set 5 years for lifetime on
issued certificates and 30 days for CRL publication (no delta CRL).
Then I run
CERTUTIL -setreg ca\DSConfig CN=Configuration,DC=ROOT,DC=LOCAL
Q-21 Why ?
Then I run
certutil.exe -v -setreg policy\EnableRequestExtensionlist "+2.5.29.32"
Q-22 Is it required even if this parameter is specified in
CAPolicy.inf file ?
Q-23 What is this parameter exactly ? I can't issue certificates if
this parameter isn't set ?
I omit certificate request and import/export ioperations. That's ok
for theses.
Now. If I revoke the subornidate CA certificate.
Q-24 I publish CRL now ? Or I have to wait 180 days (I hope not ...) ?
(and copy/past crl file in my HTTP point).
Q-25 How can I republish CRL in AD ? Offline CA (wich are in
workgroup) can check CRL in AD ? I don't think so. And you ?
Q-26 Does the Sub CA service detect that its certificate is revoked
and do not start ? I test this scenario, and Sub CA still work and
chaining is OK. So, how much time this mechanism take ?
Ok for Root and Sub. Let's see for Online issuing CA.
Installation of ENCAJP01
------------------------
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 with IIS, member of the domain
JAPAN.ASIA.LOCAL.
Q-27 If an online CA is down, does the roll back to an other is
automatic ?
Q-28 I want that CA is JAPAN domain only issuing CA for JAPAN users
(and even sub domains if I need in the future). I don't want that a
MEXICO user can obtain a certificate from MEXICO's CA. Should I use
X500 constraints or ACE permissions limitation ? What are the
advantages and drawbacks of the two methods ?
I don't use CAPolicy.inf file.
Q-29 Is it optional ? What can I specify in this CAPolicy.inf file
(constraints ?) ?
I use theses parameters, 2048 bits key for the CA, 5 years lifetime.
And 2 years lifetime on issued certificates. 1 week CRL and delta CRL
allowed.
Q-30 Can I use Delta CRL even if some of my servers are still Windows
2000 Server ?
Then i run theses commands :
certutil -dspublish <Root CRT file> RootCA
certutil -dspublish <Sub CRT file> SubCA
certutil -dspublish <Root CRL file> {Root CA Host Name}
certutil -dspublish <Sub CRL file> {Sub CA Host Name}
Q-31 In some documentations I found that I maty use -f parameters in
addition. Why ?
Q-32 When Root CA or Sub CA revoke a certificate, i have to run theses
commands again (concerning CRL) ?
I configure the Domain Policy GPO in order to publishing the root CA.
Q-33 Is this operation is required or is AD automaticaly done this
operation with other machanism ?
At the moment I don't use KRA agent. But in the future, I will.
Q-34 Can i configure all options about KRA later when the need will be
more hurry ? Or should I configure that now ?
I have many more questions about KRA and other. But if I can have
answer of theses question, it will be great !
Sorry for my poor english, and thanks for reading until there !

Preventing Kerberos Ticket Expiration
I have two MS Virtual Servers that are running in production. I keep an
exact copy of the VM's on disk for disaster recovery purposes. All my DR
restoration tests have failed because the Kerberos ticket expires between the
time the copy is made and the time the copy is restored (from 1-4 weeks in
the tests.) A copy that is restored within a day works fine.
So I need a way to disable the expiration of the Kerberos ticket for these
specific VM's. Is it possible to create a new Kerberos policy that over
rides the default domain security policy? Is this the best way to do this?
Are there any other options?

ActiveX Control Vulnerability
My research takes me to a wide variety of web sites. I am running Win XP sp2,
IE 7, Kaspersky Internet Suite, Spywareblaster and Linkscanner. To protect
against the threats inherent in activex controls I disabled the security
setting in IE 7 for â??runactivex controls and plug-insâ??.
While most web pages still load 'adequately', my problem is with video
files. Many (if not most) do not run unless I re-enable the setting. Setting
a register bit (a suggestion by some experts) is too complex. Will switching
to Mozilla (no activex problem) solve my problem? Is there a way to keep IE 7
and avoid the security issues and inconveniences of the activex controls?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

M-I 5.Persecution - B BC Newscas ters Li e & Den y Theyre Watch ing Me
MI5 Persecution: BBC. Newscasters Lie & Deny They're Watching Me
Central to the persecution campaign. waged against me for some nine years
now by the Security Service is their use of the media, and in. particular
the broadcast media,. to make clear to me that I am under surveillance and
being watched. within my own home, even by BBC newscasters while they read
the news. This is really an act of arrogance;. MI5 and their tools in the
television and. radio are so sure that they can never be caught, that they
have many times made. explicity clear on broadcast programmes that they are
as. capable of seeing me as I am of seeing the broadcast pictures. Even
when they have known I. am taping the programmes they still carry on this
practice; for examples of TVand radio presenters caught. "in action", see
the Evidence. area of my website.
If you wish to reply. to this article......
then please include your name and fax. number! I provide the means for
recipients to send me their thoughts on the. topics discussed, but ask that
you provide me with your fax number or email address if. you require a
response. Also would you please send not more than one or two. pages, if by
fax.. Thank-you!
It started with a Newscaster, and it continues. with Newscasters today
The very first incident in the story started with. a reaction by an ITN
newscaster, Sue Carpenter, in June of 1990, almost nine years. ago now. She
reacted to what she saw in my living room at home as she read the. news. My
mother had brought an apple for me into. the room, whereupon the newsreader
smirked and giggled, apparently finding this funny. I couldn't. believe
what I was seeing. I. carried on watching news and other television
programmes to. see if presenters would show signs of "interactive
watching"; to my surprise, this happened again and again. Unfortunately,. I
did not have my wits sufficiently about me. to videotape these programmes,
and it is now almost impossible to obtain recordings dating. back to 1990.
However, I have been busy recording everything Ive watched the last. couple
of years, and. the taping has yielded some nuggets, which you will find if
you point your Web browser at the "evidence" area of my website,. whose URL
address is given above. Strangely it. is not particularly the BBC who are
"after me" at the moment (with the exception. of occasional fire from
Nicholas Witchell), but that supposed paragon. of virtue and decency Jon
Snow of Channel Four. TV News (he actually works for ITN), who once claimed
hed turned down MI5s offer of a tax-free. salary. I will cover Snows recent
actions in a. future article.
BBCs Hidden. Shame
The first ever Usenet post (internet newsgroup article) on the. subject of
the MI5 bugging / BBC watching occurred, as stated in. a previous article,
in early May 1995. It is. reproduced here;
Date: Thu May 4 18:27:24. 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject: BBC's. Hidden Shame
Remember the two-way televisions in. George Orwell's 1984? The ones which
watched you back? Which you could never get rid of, only the sound. could
be. turned down?
Well the country which brought Orwell into the world has. made his
nightmare follow into the world after him. Since 1990 the British. have
been waging war against one of their own. citizens using surveillance to
invade privacy and a campaign of abuse in the. transmitted media in their
efforts to. humiliate their "victim".
I suppose "BBCs Hidden Shame" is more of a wish than. a fact. It may be
hidden, but the BBC and other media. and security organisations seem to
have. no shame whatever in their anti-social, not to say criminal,
actions. Nor. do the general public, who seem quite happy to parrot the
vilest. obscenities without much hesitation or apparently thought.
Martyn Lewis,. Nicholas Witchell and the rest
Most of. the harassment occurred in 1990-92, when I wasnt making any
recordings, and the BBC wont release copies of current affairs. programmes
from that period.... so although I can remember there were many. incidents
in that time,. even many specifics, I cant dig up the actual programmes to
flesh out the. bones.
This year,. there has been at least one incident with Nicholas Witchell as
newsreader, which I have successfully recorded and. digitized,
i.e. converted into a computer Quicktime movie file.. This has not yet
found its way onto my website (Im a busy man,. dontcha know) but you can be
sure I will let the readership of these articles know when that. clip makes
it onto the web.. The Witchell clip was recorded on Saturday 10 April 1999
at 7pm, and shows Witchell trying to restrain his features from. collapsing
into a smirk. First his. upper lip quivers for several minutes, then with
the non-excuse of a. non-joke his entire face twists into a grin. It looks
as if he finds me. so funny, that he allows himself to submerge any
pretence. at professionalism in a sea of MI5-inspired sarcasm and
harassment.
The two BBC newscasters whose reactions to me I. can remember most vividly
over the. years are Martyn Lewis and Nicholas Witchell. I can remember
thinking years ago that Michael Buerk. was also seeing me at home; and if
the other two are watching then there would be no reason why. he wouldnt be
doing the same; but in. all honesty I cannot remember a single clear
instance of his reacting. through facial or verbal expression to me.
I can remember. several instances of Martyn Lewis reacting to what he saw
of me, however. In early 1992 I was watching the BBC news. with Lewis on a
small black-and-white portable TV at. my then home in Oxford. I threw a
term of abuse at Lewis; he flinched, then gave a. grin and made a comment
from which I understood that he had been on my side, but might. have
changed his mind as a result of what Id just said to. him.
And. in spring 1991 I remember Martyn Lewis clearly reacting to what he saw
of me at my then accommodation. in Woking, Surrey, by continuing to stare
at some fixed point near the camera after the news had. finished -
presumably this is where the monitor. interactively showing pictures of my
room. was located.
Why would BBC and other Newscasters Watch and Harass Me,. Watching Them?
This is a very difficult. question, and I dont actually know the answer. It
is a matter of record that the Secret Services are very much part of. the
Establishment.. The recent exposure of the "MI6 Agent List" on the
internet, and its coverage in the newspapers, reveals how much. MI5 and MI6
are recruited from the ranks of the Establishment.. Obviously the
relationship is bi-directional; the. Establishment influences MI5/MI6, but
the secret services (well, perhaps not so secret now we know. who works for
MI6!!!) also. influence the machinery of power and information
dissemination i.e. media in this country. So they must have a. lot of
covert leverage with the BBC and. ITN.
Some of this leverage is. obviously through bribery. It is a matter of
record that. MI5 tried some years ago to "buy" Jon Snow of Channel Four
TV. He turned them down - obviously they must have approached. other media
people. as well, and from the lack of other reports of people turning them
down, it may be presumed that some other journalists will have. accepted
the sugared carrots put before them. Ironically, Jon Snow has. been taking
part in the recent "watching" actions against me - but. why he has allowed
himself to be used by the secret services is something which I do. not
know.
Perhaps. the Security Service uses blackmail to twist arms of journalists
into co-operating with them? I have always thought there was. something
slightly odd about. Martyn Lewiss demeanour. At the time of the Ron Davies
"rough trade" scandal it was reported that MI5 had known all about. Davies
predilections and the sham of his pretence to. be a happily married
man. Perhaps. MI5 have been able to dig something up from Martyn Lewiss
private life to blackmail him into acting on their behalf? And. if there
wasnt anything before the "newscaster watching" started. then there most
certainly is something now.... once. theyve started watching, the
newscasters will surely wish their activities to. remain covered-up, and
co-operate with the. security service.
"Newscaster Watching". Deliberately Constructed to Mimic Schizophrenia
Presumably this is. the first case in history of television journalists
actually taking. part in acts of real-time, live spying and reacting
against one of their viewers. What you have to understand, though,. is that
I was quite mentally healthy in June 1990, certainly relative. to November
1992, when after two and. a half years of harassment I was finally admitted
to hospital as an out-patient. MI5 decided from the outset. that they would
make me. mad; they constructed the media harassment to resemble what would
be reported by a. person with mental illness; and then they carried on
years of abuse to inflict on me the condition which they wished to. use as
an excuse. to cover up their abuses.
I sold my. portable TV in autumn 1990 and stopped watching television
regularly. I realise now that this may have been a mistake. What. I should
have done was to watch TV and listen to. the radio, but tape-record
everything and make a. note of what each excerpt meant to me. I would then
be in a much stronger position as regards to. evidence that I am now. That
is what I am trying to do now,. but unsurprisingly the TV/radio presenters
have stopped getting at me, now they. know they are being recorded.
When I started publicising my case on internet newsgroups in. 1995, I was
met with the disbelief one might expect to be. accorded to a mentally ill
person who talks about "newscaster watching". and media persecution. Some
newsgroup participants thought. I had started a "troll", an invention made
to obtain a reaction; one. bright spark even suggested a group of
psychology students were. behind the articles. But most people thought the
articles were symptomatic of. derangement - and that is exactly what MI5
want people to think. MI5 chose me as a target. because I was mildly
mentally ill at the outset. in 1990, although I stress my illness then was
very mild in comparison with November. 1992, and because they knew that
enough abuse would (a). make me much more seriously ill, and (b) once I was
more. ill, they would "get away" with a harassment deliberately constructed
to look like the symptoms of paranoid. schizophrenia.
Martyn Lewis Denies. & Lies, But Wont in Writing
In February 1997 I wrote to BBC Viewer & Listener Correspondence and. asked
them. to investigate the claim that their newscasters had engaged in
"real-time spying". on me. They replied that they had asked Martyn Lewis
and Michael Buerk. whether they had engaged in such practices, and that
they had. both made verbal denials to VLC, but were refusing to put their
denials. in writing.
To me it looks as if Lewis and Buerk are happy to lie verbally. but not in
writing, because written falsehoods. would place them unambiguously in the
wrong, whereas they can try to. talk their way out of verbal lies if they
are ever caught, or perhaps. even deny the verbal lies completely? If they
lie without. shame, then why would they have any shame about future lies
about. lying?
BBC-VLC also said that. the BBC "would never engage in any form of
surveillance. activity" such as that described. Clearly Martyn Lewis and
the rest have lied to their own organisations personnel about. their
criminal actions. So much for. the "objective", "truthful" BBC, a nest of
shabby. liars.
Summons against. the BBC, for Nuisance caused by Newscaster Spying
In March 1997 I issued a civil summons against the. BBC, seeking injunction
against. further "newscaster spying", and token damages for what the BBC
had done to me until that date. The purpose of the summons was to try. to
"smoke out" the BBC, since obviously I did not. have good evidence which
would be necessary for either a. civil or criminal case to be made against
them. My summons was worded. as follows;
1. The plaintiff is and was at all. material times residing at [home
address].. At some time prior to or during June 1990, persons of unknown
identity. entered Plaintiff's premises and installed concealed television
equipment in. said premises.
2. A campaign of harassment was. launched against the Plaintiff by the
persons of unknown identity, which. in part took the form of instigating
harassment. by BBC TV newscasters (including specifically Michael Buerk and
Martyn Lewis) as they. read news bulletins, by making direct and personal
comments to. Plaintiff.
3. The campaigns purpose was to subject Plaintiff to great mental. stress
and induce mental breakdown. As a result of it Plaintiff. did indeed suffer
from severe mental. strain in 1990-97.
4.. In order to avoid the mental strain being caused to him the Plaintiff
has been compelled. to stop watching BBC TV news. Defendant therefore
committed the tort of private nuisance, since normal use. of home was
interfered. with.
5. Plaintiff claims a. permanent injunction prohibiting further nuisance,
and damages for nuisance suffered limited. to 5,000.
Naturally, my attempt to smoke-out the. BBC and its lying newscasters
failed. The BBCs litigation department sought to have my. summons struck
out; and they succeeded in doing so, on the grounds of my. action
"disclosing no reasonable cause of. action". I was also prevented from
issuing further civil claims. against the BBC without leave of the
Court. Apparently litigants-in-person frequently / usually. have their
claims struck out with this wording,. regardless of the merit of their
claims.
BBC Suppresses my Claims of "Watching by. Newscasters"
BBCs staff. magazine Ariel ran my advert "BBC Newsreaders Spying on my
home" for one issue in the Personal. category on 8/July/1997 before it was
spotted and axed by editor Robin Reynolds; please. see
webpage;. http://www.pair.com/spook/evidence/plaint/ariel.htm
Clearly the BBC will not allow claims of its wrongdoing to be. made public
in. the media channels it controls.
On several occasions people said to my face that harassment from the. TV
was happening. On the first day I worked in. Oxford, I spent the evening in
the local. pub the Rose and Crown with the company's technical director
Ian, and Phil, another employee. Ian made a few references to. me and said
to Phil, as if in an aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to. which
Phil replied, "Yes, I think. so".
The reader. might think that mere "watching" by newscasters etc might be a
relatively benign happening. But it is not; it is part of. MI5s framework
of harassment and lies. On. many occasions the reactions of the BBCs
newscasters to me has been. in the nature of sarcasm, implicit contempt and
abuse. This is visible in Witchells. news programme mentioned above, where
he engages in abuse by laughing at me during his newsreading.. It was
particularly visible in the early period of 1990-92,. and as late as Autumn
1993, when during a Newsnight broadcast Jeremy Paxman. interviewed a
football person about soccer hooliganism, and the interviewee gave vent. to
an unsubtle rant. about "theyre idiots, theyre just idiots, keep up the
surveillance". Paxman started grinning,. showing he understood and was
taking part in the abuse being perpetrated on. that programme.
Conclusion
The. MI5 Persecution started with harassment by television newscasters, and
today harassment by TV and. radio presenters still forms a key part of MI5s
activities against me. When this business started in June 1990 I was. in
relatively good health of mind. Years of persecution by the. secret police
and their mouthpieces. in the state-run BBC and other media eroded my
health until MI5 achieved their aim of seeing me rendered mentally. ill in
November 1992.. The diagnosis which was forced on me unfortunately and
ironically meant. that my reports of the harassment are disregarded,
because the mentally ill are second-class citizens in. todays Britain.
Yet TV and radio harassment continues, albeit in a reduced. form, despite
my taping all the programmes I. watch, resulting in my being able to obtain
and demonstrate. objectively on the website instances of media presenters
attacking me. Unfortunately these. recorded instances are quite tenuous; I
might understand them, the presenters understand what. it is theyre doing,
but despite many thousands of. people knowing the truth of the "newscaster
watching", the omerta. continues and they continue to refuse to admit the
truth of the matter. It is a terrible indictment of. British society that
there is not even one decent person willing to speak out.. I look forward
to the day when the truth does finally emerge, and the mass. corruption
which has allowed the MI5 persecution to take place. is finally purged and
the Establishment. criminals caught and appropriately punished.

M'I.5 Per secution , Fou r Ye ars of MI5 Persecuti on Po sts on Internet Newsgroup s
Four Years of "MI5 Persecution" Posts. on Internet Newsgroups
For. approximately the first three years of the MI5 persecution, from June
1990 until late. 1992, I kept as quiet as possible, in the hope that by not
reacting,. MI5s interest in me would decrease and they would simply go away
of their. own accord. This is the sort of behaviour some people employ
against bullies; if the. bullies arent getting a reaction, then they might
simply go away and victimize someone. else.
Unfortunately, this tactic. didnt work. The quieter I became, the more
shrill and hysterical the noise from the Security. Service operatives. For
about two years. I didnt watch TV news at all. Yet this only heightened
their obsessed fixation; they continued to follow me. wherever I went, they
continued to induce harassment. at work by managers and fellow workers, and
they continued. to encourage me to commit suicide. They seemed to regard my
refusal. to react as a crime which they would have to "put right" by ever
more extreme forms of. abuse.
Finally, in 1995, I changed tactics radically. Since late. 1994 I had had
accounts with internet. providers in Ontario, Canada. I discovered the
cornucopia of internet. newsgroups, on every topic from consumer
electronics,. to politics and legal topics, and I discovered online
services such as Compuserve and. AOL. In May 1995, I made the first posting
to the conspiracy newsgroup, on the. subject of "BBCs Hidden Shame".
BBC's. Hidden Shame
The internet newsgroup discussion, which has now reached its. fourth
anniversary, started with. an article in alt.conspiracy, which I reproduce
here.
Date: Thu May 4 18:27:24. 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject: BBC's Hidden. Shame
Remember the two-way televisions in. George Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched you
back? Which you could never get rid of, only the sound could. be turned down?
Well the country which brought. Orwell into the world has made his nightmare follow into
the world after him. Since 1990 the British have been waging war against one of. their
own citizens using surveillance to invade privacy and a campaign. of abuse in the
transmitted media in their efforts to. humiliate their "victim".
And the most remarkable thing about it is that what they. do is not even illegal - the
UK has. no laws to protect the privacy of its citizens, nor does it proscribe harassment
or. abuse except in the case of racial abuse.
A lot of people in England know this to be going on, yet so far they have. maintained
perfect "omerta"; not a sound, not a squeak has escaped. into the English press, and for
all the covert harassment. absolutely nothing has come out into the public domain.
Have. the British gone mad? I think we should be told
At this point, I did not name MI5. as my persecutors. I was still unsure
that they were the ones. responsible for the "psychological terrorism". In
followup posts however. I did name them; and the persecutors have never
denied. the claim; so I think my guess is valid. (The Security Service
Tribunal in 1997 have said "no. determination in your favour was made", but
it is a. well established fact that MI5 lies routinely to the Tribunal
which has never. found in favour of a plaintiff, so no conclusions can be
drawn. from this.)
This first. post was made to alt.conspiracy, but further posts were made to
the UK-local newsgroups,. in particular uk.misc but also uk.legal and
uk.politics (which is now called uk.politics.misc). Some time ago I. tried
to take the battle to the Compuserve forums,. UKPOLITICS (which is now
called UKCURRENT - current. affairs), but my articles were censored by the
forum operators.. Such censorship is impossible on the internet newsgroups.
Police Refuse. to Act
I have complained several. times to the Metropolitan Police, who have each
time refused to. help.

This in itself dos not suggest that the police have it in for you. The. old bill
operates on extremely tight. spending limits forced on them by that pillock Michael
Howard, and without evidence, they often have higher. priorities than chasing something
that cannot. go to court.
I doubt. that the police are actually being leant on, but they probably realise that if
they looked into this, they would. be leant on hard. The met always stays away from
anything. that looks like it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already,

If I walked into my local nick and. complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would

In. short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise. Just remember that saying
about the enemy of your. enemies.
Most recently, I wrote in March 1999 to Charing. Cross Police Station
CID. They. did not acknowledge or reply to my letter. When I phoned them
up,. the detective Id written to treated me to a sadly not unusual display
of police bigotry, with. an uneducated rant about "your paranoid rubbish".
It would be nice to think that such uneducated bigotry is . something other
than wholly typical of police behaviour, but unfortunately that is. an
illusion that is. rapidly dispelled.
Uncorruptible Jon. Snow of Channel Four News
From previous articles the reader. will know what I think Jon Snow has
recently been watching me. while he reads Channel Four News in the
evening. Recently I digitized a few moments of one. such broadcast, where
his face twists into a smile, without there. being anything in the news
broadcast to cause merriment. Here is a usenet. post from some time ago on
MI5s "bought and paid. for" tools in the so-called "free" press.
Peter. Harding (harding@ermine.ox.ac.uk) wrote:

Can't disagree with that. sentiment.
Wasn't it. documented that MI5 sometimes "bought" journalists and broadcasters?

It has been reported. several times. The most recent was in Private Eye,
a few months back. As. I recall they also wanted information from him;
journalists would be. a natural choice for members of the Security Service
and the. Secret Intelligence Service for information sources.

He was most concerned. that many others would have accepted such an
offer. However, we can probably make an educated guess as to. some of
those who accepted: Nigel. West (Rupert Allason, MP) and Chapman Pincher
would. come near to the top of the list.

Corrupt Security Service agents steal. millions from taxpayers
Money is of course a factor in. the grand equation which is the MI5
persecution. It. costs money for the Security Service to "buy" people in
the media etc. But that. is only a small part of their expenditure of
taxpayers resources. Most of the expenditure is. directly on the salaries
if the. agents involved; and in this post I put forward the theory that MI5
are trying to draw out. their involvement for as long as possible, very
cynically, to maximise. their income and line their own pockets.
At. each stage they have tried to pretend that I am something out of the ordinary.
Either I was very stupid ("he's an idiot") or very clever ("he's. like a genius").
Either I was. a threat to Western civilization (Levin once referred to me as the next
Hitler) or. I was completely defenceless ("a soft toy").
Now, it should be obvious to any. person with common-sense that I am not out of the
ordinary in. any way. I have an IQ which is average for the Web, I am racially white
European, and there are plenty of other people with schizophrenia or. epilepsy out there
who haven't been targeted for MI5 attention,. so why me?
I think the answer is that the MI5 agents. who harass me have cynically exploited the
situation by painting me as extraordinary in order. to assure themselves of well-paid
employment. funded by the ordinary British taxpayer. To put it bluntly, they are
stealing millions of pounds from the. taxpayer to feed their own pockets.
This assertion is. supported by the observation that it's the same agents who are doing
the. harassment. Six months ago in a local hospital I was harassed by someone whose face
I had seen (he had stared straight at me aggressively, at the time. I just thought it
was some nutter but it turns out he. was one of "them") aboard a KLM flight a couple of
years ago. It's presumably been the same people most of the time. I've seen the. way
contractors act when they don't want their. positions terminated. Would these agents
really want to. lose their well-paid employment harassing me? Presumably they are
promising their bosses a "breakthrough" (ie. my demise) real-soon-now and have been for
the last seven. years, while all the while these MI5 agents skim millions
off the. taxpayer.
I wouldn't mind a job like that. Perhaps if. I persecute myself a little bit, like
standing in front of a mirror and shouting mindless obscenities,. do you reckon I'd get
a slice of the caky Service. Tribunal. This year Nick Brooks, current
Tribunal Secretary, confirmed to me that he could not think of a. single
case where the Tribunal had found in favour of. a complainant. Here is my
usenet post. from two years ago.
Subject: MI5: "It. wasn't us"

Well that's a relief then. All. that spamming for nothing eh. Gaw blimey, if
they say they're not doing it then. it can't be them, can it?
In a recent letter to Mr Brooks I expressed the. opinion that the Tribunal
were unable to fulfil their responsibilities in the face. of MI5
falsehoods. Nevertheless,. I do intend to make another complaint to the
Tribunal in the. near future, despite the Tribunal appearing to be a
toothless. watchdog.
Discrimination. against a Unit Minority
MI5 have been very clear in their instructions as to. what I should
do. They have openly shouted at me the. word "suicide", and also from the
other abuse it is clear that they want. my existence terminated.
This point is covered in more detail in a. previous article. The following
post describes the xenophobic nature of MI5s campaign. against me. They
have refined their bigotry. down to a unit minority, yet they make use of
the discrimination against the mentally ill which is a feature. of current
British. society.

I don't. have florid symptoms. But I'm in a difficult situation, because those
people who don't. know, aren't going to believe, and those who do, they just go
along with the crowd. It's never a good idea to go against the grain, and. the
grain here is defined by interests in the establishment. and the media. Even
people who could say out loud what. was happening won't, because then there's a
risk that they'll. be seen as traitors and ostracised.
Usually this type of 'hidden abuse' is racial. and targetted at a racial
minority within a country. You keep the minorities out of the. good jobs, but
you don't admit discrimination exists. It happens everywhere,. not just in
Britain. The persecution. that is going on now is in reality a refined form of
racism. Instead of "nigger" it's "nutter", and. abusing the mentally ill is
still socially acceptable today. In. 50 years it might not be, but today there
isn't. any social or legal sanction against it.
So really they've refined racial harassment down. to a minority of one. The
words may be different, but the methods are the. same.

M`I,5`Persecution ` MI5 Wast e Taxpayer Milli ons on Poin tless Hate -Campaign
MI5 Persecution. Update: Friday 30 April, 1999
If You Intend To Reply,. Please Read This
Please.... keep your response to one page!. Faxes over. a page or two will
be deleted without. being read.
Somewhere between 0 and. 100%
The. last few days there have been no clear recordable instances of
abuse. However, while travelling on. the Underground, while walking around
near my home and going to friends. homes, I am constantly troubled by
thoughts that those people over there. might be about to get at me; that
the couple sitting in the. opposite seats laughing are in fact laughing at
me; et. cetera, et cetera.
A comment by a scientist to the BSE. inquiry sticks in my mind. He
described the possible scale. of the epidemic as "between 0% and 100%". It
might not be happening, it. might not happen at all, to any discernable
degree.... or. it might be total. Without clear recording, which seems to
have become impossible. the last couple of weeks, there is no way of
knowing whether the harassment really is continuing,. whether we have
entered a temporary hiatus, or whether perhaps. it has perhaps stopped for
now.
But for the time being I think there. arent any reasons to dicontinue these
faxes. I only re-started them six weeks ago in response. to a resumption of
MI5 harassment; and I think I will need. to be more convinced of absence of
persecution before I. discontinue my complaints.
The Newscasters. are still watching
In the last few weeks there have been at least a couple of. fairly overt
instances of "interactive watching". by newscasters. I reported this in a
previous "MI5 Persecution. Update".
These. instances are really very rare compared to 1990-91, when there were
many dozens. of such occurrences. Undoubtedly the reduction is due to my
practice of videotaping everything I see. Recently I had the. opportunity
of showing this years "happenings" (Jon Snow/Nicholas. Witchell) to my
psychiatrist, and he agreed that in both cases the newscasters. were
expressing merriment without visible cause,. and that objectively it might
be possible for my claims to be. true - although of course other people
reported similar thoughts to him, and. this thinking is usually a symptom
of. illness.

MI5 Waste Taxpayer. Millions on Pointless Hate-Campaign
Recently I. was talking to an independent observer about the nature and
purpose of the perceived campaign of persecution. against me. The person I
spoke to, a highly intelligent man, said he was struck. by the utter
pointlessness of the perceived campaign against me. He also. said that, if
my theories were in fact true, many people. would have to be involved, in
the surveillance itself,. and in the technical side of the delivery of
information from my home to. TV studios for example, if the "interactive
watching" were happening. as described. He voiced these thoughts without
any prompting from me;. but both I and other observers had arrived at
pretty much the. same conclusions, some years ago.
I saw a team of four. men at Toronto Airport in 1993
To carry out the surveillance alone, full-time, would employ four. or five
men, or their equivalent in terms of man-hours.. Each man would "work" an
eight-hour shift, so you would need at least three men doing. the
surveillance, plus a connecting link /. manager. An indicator that this
estimate is correct arrived in. 1993, when I was accosted by one of a group
of four men at Toronto. Airport; he said, laughing, "if he tries to run
away well find him". Plainly these were the men who had been. involved in
the intrusive surveillance of me for the. preceding three years.
On other occasions, I have seen the same man on two or three. occasions. On
one such occasion, at. Ottawas Civic Hospital in November 1996; he gave his
name to the doctor as "Alan Holdsworth" or. some such; my hearing is not
very good sometimes and. I am not sure of the surname, although I am sure
"Alan" was his first name. I saw exactly the same man again in. Ottawa, at
the airport, in July 1998. Obviously, other people must. be "working" with
this person; he would not. be the sole agent employed in this case.
Usenet. readers views on the Cost to MI5 of Running the Campaign
Here's what a couple of. other people on internet newsgroups / Usenet
(uk.misc) had to say regarding the cost of running. such an operation...
PO: >Have some sense, grow. up and smell reality. What you are talking about
PO: >would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of pounds. and lots of
PO: >people involved. in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You
PO: >must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth. it.
and......
PM: >But why? And why you?. Do you realize how much it would cost to keep
PM: >one person under continuous surveillance for five. years? Think about
PM: >all the man/hours. Say they _just_ allocated a two man. team and a
PM: >supervisor. OK., Supervisor's salary, say,. #30,000 a year. Two men,
PM: >#20,000 a year each. But they'd need to work in shifts. -- so it would
PM: >be six men at. #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more
like
PM: >#30,000 to. the employer.)
PM:. >
PM: >So, we're talking #30,000. x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the
PM: >supervisor.. #220,000. Then you've got the hardware involved. And
PM: >any transcription that needs doing. You don't think the 'Big. Boss'
PM: >would. listen to hours and hours of tapes, do you.
PM:. >
PM: >So,. all in all, you couldn't actually do the job for much less than
PM: >a quarter million a year. Over five years. What are. you doing that makes
PM: >it worth the while of. the state to spend over one and a quarter million
PM:. >on you?
Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went. through my head
once I stopped to consider what it must be costing. them to run this
operation. At the very least,. a quarter million a year - and probably much
more, given the intrusive and. human-resource-intensive methods
employed. Times nine years. Equals well over two million pounds. - and
probably. much, much more.
Its wasteful for someone with my skills. to be unemployed
The wastefulness of the MI5 campaign. against me is not just that of futile
expenditure on their side. It. is also extremely wasteful for someone with
my talents to be unemployed and on. a disability pension. I am highly
qualified in numerate. disciplines, yet am unable to work, specifically
because of the MI5 hate-campaign against me. It is. a terrible waste of
resources for a supposedly efficient economy. like that of the UK to be
squandering the talents of a skilled and. capable worker.
I made. every effort to remain in employment for as long as I could, but
ultimately I. was defeated by MI5s employment of massive resources
specifically. targeted on my workplaces with the sole aim of seeing me
evicted from those. workplaces. You might expect this sort of behaviour
from the Stasi or some other secret police. force in a communist country
where labour is cheap, and the. governments aim on seeing its citizens
confined; but for a supposedly free and efficient. economy like Britains,
the wastefulness resulting both directly and indirectly. from the Security
Services activities is simply criminal, and should. never be allowed.
The international dimension means the costs are multiplied many. times
overoer had any sense, then they have surely taken leave of them over. the
last. nine years.
Four years of persecution. in Canada
The persecution re-started within less than five minutes. of my arrival in
Canada, as. documented above, and in the "frequently asked
questions" article on the website. The words, "if he tries to. run away
well. find him" spoken by one of the harassers at Toronto Airport are now
imprinted. on my mind.
A year later I emigrated to Canada, intending to. find a job and settle
there, hoping. that MI5s interest in me might dim with time. I did manage
to find work there, but my hopes. of avoiding Security Service interest
were ground into dust. As detailed above, I. saw the same man in November
1996 and July 1998, both times in Ottawa. Apart. from these encounters,
there were numerous incidents between 1994 and 1998 of. harassment, of an
identical nature and in most cases using identical words to what. had
occurred. in the UK. It became quite clear to me that the permanent
surveillance and harassment operation which MI5 had subjected me to. in
England was being. continued.
For a team of four or five men to be employed overseas must. cost a lot
more than if they. operate in their home country. And for MI5 to continue
the operation for a period of over four years,. continuously, must cost
many hundreds. of thousands of pounds. This confirms my belief that the
state is funding the campaign against. mehat the Security Service receives
current annual funding of #160M. Divided by 1850 staff, works. out at
#86,000. But. the unit annual cost of each "watcher" must be much higher
than this, especially given the frequently mobile and overseas. nature of
their actions of the last few years. A very conservative figure might. be a
little over #100,000 pa for each of a team of five people, or. half a
million pounds. per year. For nine years, so far. So the most conservative
estimate of the surveillance element alone is perhaps. four or five million
pounds since. 1990.
This. guesstimate is of course theoretical - I am not privy to inside
details of how MI5 split their funding. But to take. some other examples,
the cost of a US counter-surveillance specialist. per day is USD
5,000. Even if the agents permanently assigned to. me are not of this
calibre - even if they. employ specialists when difficult work planting
bugs etc is encountered - their salary and support costs. must still be
very high. The individual agents are doing. well for themselves as they are
well-paid to exercise psychopathic instincts which in. any sane society
would see them in prison;. but the taxpayers who must fund this terribly
wasteful exercise are being "done" out of hundreds of. thousands of pounds
each. year.
It must be. emphasised that the above estimates are highly
conservative.. Besides the surveillance operation, it must carry a high
cost in man-hours to propagate covert. slanders through the population; to
setup and maintain the "interactive watching" links. to TV and radio
stations, which these organisations continue desparately to "lie. and
deny"; and to. induce antipathy in co-workers which would not otherwise
exist.
Why they are wasting Millions of Pounds on a "Nobody. from South London"
As remarked in the prologue. to this article, it is really most
extraordinary that the Security. Service spends a chunk of its budget,
every. year for nine years so far, on a meaningless campaign against a
"nobody from South London". That they. are spending such a large amount of
money has been confirmed to me on several occasions,. usually by oblique
references to "its costing this country millions". The. supposed
"logic". behind the persecution is that MI5 wish to avoid their harassment
of me, and the involvement of the UK media, to be made public; yet. as the
reader will appreciate that is. a circular argument, "theyre doing it
because they want to keep it secret and avoid. humiliation for themselves
and their country" begs the question, "why did they. start doing it in the
first place?", to which in truth. I myself do not know the answer.
Plainly MI5 with its. rich budget can afford half a million pounds a year
to waste on a "nobody from. South London". Some time ago I was talking to a
British surveillance professional on Compuserve who. told me "this work
costs a lot of money and is usally because the person I. am following has
done something (usually criminal) to. warrant all this money and time being
spent." Yet in this particular case it is plainly not the. "victims
fault" that the harassment is taking place.. The hate-campaign against me
is completely. the creation of the obsessive psychologies of the MI5 agents
who have. made themselves my persecutors; it is obviously a
"personal" campaign for them, and for years. they misuse taxpayer funding
to feed their. insane, unnatural and fixated fantasies.

BBC newscaster. Nicholas Witchell cant stop himself laughing
During 1990-91. there were very many instances of "interactive
television" where newscasters and other TV presenters. saw on a screen
before them what was happening in my. home, and reacted, frequently by
laughing at me. During this period. I unfortunately did not record these
programmes. For. the last year or two, I have been recording everything I
watch, and there has been a drastic. decrease in such incidents.
However, on occasion, television. presenters do still engage in
"interactive. watching" and react to what they see. This has been evident
with Jon Snow of Channel Four News recently - a particularly. interesting
case, since it has been established that he cannot be corrupted. by money
(it is well-documented that MI5 offered him. a tax-free salary and he
turned them down). I wonder what device MI5. are using to encourage him to
do the. "interactive watching"?
On Saturday 10 April 1999 at 7pm,. Nicholas Witchell on BBC2 News reacted
when he saw that I was watching the programme, and I. have his reactions
stored safely on videotape. I. have watched this tape several times and I
am entirely confident that my evaluation of his reactions is correct.. For
several minutes his upper lip. quivered in mirth as he attempted to keep a
straight face. Then finally his self-control evaporated through the. excuse
of a weak joke and. his face collapsed into a grin.
The strange thing is that I dont know why he was laughing at. me, what I
had done recently. to "deserve" to be laughed at. The MI5 persecutors
usually manage to. invent some justification as to why people should laugh
at and/or abuse me ("hes. an X", "it was so funny" etc), so Mr Witchell
could have been laughing for any number of reasons. Perhaps. he found the
views I have been expressing in these. articles amusing? I suppose if youre
paid enough money and ordered to laugh then even the most innocuous. thing
becomes. funny.
Jon Snow. of Channel Four News cant stop himself smirking, either.
On 12 February. 1999 I was watching Channel Four News presented by Jon
Snow. As usual, I was recording the programme, so that if anything out. of
the ordinary happened, Id be. able to go back and watch it again.
Now, Jon Snow, by his own claim, is uncorruptible. He says. he turned down
an. offer of a substantial tax-free salary from MI5 - they wanted to make
him their. mouthpiece, and he told them where to get off.
So. you will be most surprised to learn that Jon Snow "interactively
watched" me that evening, and on many other. evenings. Approximately
fifteen minutes into the programme, he announced that the. US President
would. be making a live appearance at about 7.30pm; I looked at the clock
on the mantelpiece; and Snow. saw me looking at the clock, and visibly
tried to. suppress a smirk.
Uncorruptible, are you, Mister Snow? If. not money, then why are you
watching me, Mister Snow? Are they forcing you to. watch me? Cant you turn
the. monitor off, Mister Snow?

refuses. to help.
Comparing the MI5. Persecution with German "Final Solution"
It might seem offensive to compare the mass murder of. millions of
civilians in wartime with. the peacetime persecution of merely one
person. Yet the comparison has been coursing. through my mind for several
years now, because. the brutality of German intent to "sub-humans" is very
much. comparable to the brutality of British intent to someone they
vituperate and. term "not up to British standards". The methods may differ,
but the persecutors. mindset is the same.
The Germans first targeted. the mentally disabled, too
During. WW2 millions of ethnic Russians, Poles, Jews, mentally ill, gypsies
and other minorities were. rounded up and murdered in purpose-built camps
by the German regime, in the name of "racial superiority". Fifty. years on,
the British. Secret Police, MI5, instituted a campaign of mass
hysteria;. but in their cowardice, limited their activities to one single
victim.
It is instructive to note that the. early German "cleansing" effort was
directed primarily not at Jews, but at the mentally ill. The. Nazis set up
the T4 project in the thirties to "cleanse" away 70,000 mentally. disabled
people, including schizophrenics and. epileptics. After WW2 the Jews with
their media influence used the reaction from the holocaust to roll. back
anti-semitism in the Western countries; however,. the mentally ill are
today still a persecuted group in the modern Western world as they. were
under the Nazis (the current Jewish home secretary in. the UK intends to
bring in. laws for incarceration without any criminal charge for some
mentally ill people - he protects his. own minority, but does nothing for
the other minorities in todays. society), and this continuing bias forms a
central cause for the current acts of. persecution in the UK.
Widespread. knowledge of what is happening to the "un-British" minority
In both the. German persecution of the thirties and early forties, and the
current British persecution, many, many people. are well aware of whats
happening. There is widespread. complicity through inaction of
populace; and in a substantial proportion of the mainstread. population,
the persecution had/has widespread. enthusiastic support; yet in both the
German case in the 1940s and the British today,. the existence of
persecution is a mass. secret which must be never admitted out loud. In the
recent Lawrence. case this "secret bigotry" has been termed
"institutionalised racism", and that is a very good word for. what the
British are doing today. The persecutory attitudes and omerta regarding
them are so deeply ingrained. in the national psyche that they define the
national. mood
During WW2 many Germans knew minorities were. disappearing, and through
inaction quietly condoned their government's. mass murder of
"un-German". minorities and inferior "foreigners"; and in the 1990s,
similarly, many. English people know what the MI5 British Secret Police
have been doing, and not only condone. it, but actively take part, because
of xenophobia against the "un-British" unit minority that is the. target of
"British" actions. This attitude by the British persecutors has. been made
explicit. through the words "he's not up to British standards"; the British
seem to have found their very own "untermenschen". to victimise.
Why these obsessive "holy wars". happen
This. type of aggression occurs when the majority is threatened or
humiliated in some way, economically, militarily or culturally.. In pre-WW2
Germany the threat was primarily economic and. military, following
Germany's humiliating. defeat in the first world war and the reparations it
was forced to pay. In modern Britain, one might. guess that the majority
English who are behind the persecution feel pressured by the. swiftly
diminishing status of Britain in. the world, and the rapidly increasing
coloured colonisation of their country, which in time will see the. ethnic
English a minority in. their own land, and their more antisocial elements,
unable to reply to. the obvious threat, instead project their aggression
onto another, weaker,. unit minority
In both cases there is a whiff. of "holy war" or irrational obsession with
the persecution. Certainly the. German behaviour fifty years ago bordered
on the not-quite-sane, and the current. British behaviour towards their
chosen victim is. strongly tinged with a leave-taking of reason. And the
choices open to the victims are the same, since MI5 will never allow me. to
escape them, "if he tries to run. away we'll find him", just like the
commandant of Auschwitz telling. the new arrivals, "the only escape is
through. the chimney".
The Victim Will Destroy. Us if We Dont Destroy Him First
The persecutors propaganda is the same. Fifty years ago the Germans. said,
"if we don't do it. to the Jews then the Jews will do it to us"; and MI5's
propaganda in the early nineties concentrated on their victim. as a
"monster". aesome "untermenschen" minority.
"We are decent fellows" say. the Brutal Persecutors
During the. course of researching this article I read part of the very
interesting book, "Hitler - A Study in Tyranny", by Alan. Bullock. This
volume contains a quote from Himmler on the "Final. Solution";
"Most of you know what. it means when a hundred corpses are lying side by
side, or five hundred or one thousand. To have stuck it out, and at. the
same time .... to have remained decent. fellows, that is what has made us
hard. This is a page of glory in our history. which has never been written
and is never. to be written."
In the MI5 persecution, too, there. is a thread of deliberate brutality to
the sick and. vulnerable, while the persecutors maintain that "we are
decent fellows".. There is almost a conscious schizophrenia in the
self-attitudes. of the Security Service operatives and those in the public
who they employ against me, which. reflects the contradiction evident in
the. German attitude above. On the one hand, they stoop to the lowest and
most base behaviour; yet at the. same time, the MI5 operatives tell
themselves that since. they are civilised British people, then surely they
must by definition be "decent fellows". Any indecency is made. the fault of
the victim; "hes making us persecute him, so we need feel. no guilt".
Yet the conduct is atypical of the way these peoples see their. normal
modes. of behaviour. Befslaughter was not typical of normal German
behaviour up to that. point. Similarly, the current MI5 abuse goes against
the grain of British self-image as being "reserved" and. "decent", since
they are using terms of abuse which are common among blacks and. other
supposedly less-developed races, but. not among the English.
Conclusion
The ultimate aim of both persecutions is the humiliation and. physical
extinction of the persecuted group. The Germans did this in a. very direct
way; the British Secret Police MI5 are acting indirectly. and relying on
self-extinction of their target, because in peacetime. and in the current
somewhat false climate of "political. correctness" more direct methods are
impossible. If MI5 undertook more direct. action the mass "omerta" would be
broken.
I have written this article with sincerity. to show how a historically
recent. persecution in another country parallels what is being done in this
country today. In both cases, the evil-doers are of their. countries
establishments, and rely on widespread tacit. support to maintain the
persecution and omerta around it. While. the holocaust was undoubtedly the
greater evil, it is important. to be aware of the fact that had the Germans
not been defeated fifty years ago, their plans would have. gone through to
total completion. In Britain today. no force threatens the "permanent
government" of which the. Security Service forms a part; and it looks very
unlikely. that the wrongs perpetrated by the MI5 secret police will ever be
revealed to. public view, and the British secret state brought to justice
for. its evil actions.

Folder Redirection and Permissions
Hi!
I am implementing Folder Redirection for my Users' My Documents folder but
after i redirect their folders to a windows 2003 Server which is joined to my
domain, i cannot access those folders using domain admin account. Only the
owner of that document can access it from his computer. All the users' My
Documents folders are under one root folder. How can i set permissions so
that users can access only their own My Documents folder and cannot access
other users data in that folder and domain admins can have full access.

Decrypting a small byte string w/ CryptDecrypt
I want to encrypt ciphertext with a public key and decrypt it with a private
key. The performance impact is acceptable since I'm dealing with a very
small payload.
I have a curious problem using CryptDecrypt (w/ a public key) against a byte
blob previously encoded with CryptEncrypt (w/ a private key). The key pair
I'm using comes from a call to CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey against a
certificate store. I can hex dump the private/public keys so I know they're
present in the key handle. I keep getting a NTE_BAD_KEY error. I notice the

Credit Card Details
If sensitive information (such as a credit card) has to be saved to a
database then there is a duty of care to protect this information.
If the data is saved in plain text, then there is a concern that a hacker
gaining access to the server will therefore gain access to the credit card
data.
One option is therefore to encrypt it. This means that the data is stored
on the server in an encrypted format. However, at some stage, the software
will legitimately need to decrypt the data in order to use this information.
To achieve this, it has to have access to the key to decrypt the
information. If the software has access to this decryption key then surely
so will any hacker. It would be equivalent to buying a secure safe and
hanging the keys next to it.
There must be a more secure implementation - could someone describe it>
Many thanks
