how to spot election fraud on electronic voting machines

Posted by Stefan Schmidt Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:12:00 GMT

The Chaos Computer Club has just published this guide on how to detect election fraud on electronic voting machines, this picture explains it all:

haha, you loose ;-)

Ok serious now, they have published a scientific report that comes to the conclusion that electronic voting machines and especially the NEDAP ones can be manipulated to forge elections - or what seems to be even more fun to hackers - play a game of chess on those things.

LHC dates

Posted by Stefan Schmidt Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:46:00 GMT

This blog entry is kind of a quick notebook entry so that i don’t forget about the rough timeframe when CERN’s Large Hadron Collider goes live.

You remember? Its that physics thingy that generates an awful lot of data to be distributed and dissected by computing grids all over the planet. ;)

So here it is: http://cosmicvariance.com/2006/06/20/the-lhc-dashboard/

Its probably outdated by now but the best hit i found with any actual dates.

crazy about anonymity?

Posted by Stefan Schmidt Tue, 05 Sep 2006 12:27:00 GMT

In his paper Hot or Not: Revealing Hidden Services by their Clock Skew Steven J. Murdoch shows how internet anonymity services like tor can be tricked remotely into revealing the path a users data takes on their network.

This is his blog entry on the topic.

Time to go berzerk with ip timestamping - go let your tor node mimic as OpenVMS. ;-)

T2000 linux day 3

Posted by Stefan Schmidt Fri, 02 Jun 2006 14:36:00 GMT

It is day 3 of my ongoing effort to install linux on a SunFire T2000 sparc64 machine - i tried 3 different kernels so far all of which told me abort trap.

The only thing that seems to run is Ubuntu Dapper from CD-ROM which is exactely what i’m going to install now. No more fancy debootstrapping, just plain dull Ubuntu.

Funny enough i had compilation problems on recent kernels, abort traps on debian 2.6 kernel-package and 2.6.16.9 but Ubuntu which ships with 2.6.16 seems to work.

I still have no idea how to speed up the console access, but i think i’m getting the glimpse on why Sun distributed those machines preinstalled with Solaris. ;)
