CIA: 9/11 Plotters Transited Iran, Govt Tie Unseen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About eight of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers passed through Iran before attacking the United States, but there is no sign of official Iranian complicity, the CIA (news - web sites)'s acting director said on Sunday.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

I was talking about converting it to octal, as it was converted into binary. That was obvious if you followed the posts.

Surely you couldn't have misunderstood. Are you deliberately baiting me?

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they went off to crack the code.

Only if they plan on being gone for several months/years. Cracking that stuff would take over 100 CPUs and several months if Im not mistaken.

Was just reading up on encryption for work and came across a cracking contest that took that many resources. THe problem is that I cant remember the encryption algorithm used for the contest.

Of the 2,000 pigeons let loose last week, only about 500 have returned to their lofts after the 150-kilometer (93 mile) flight between the cities of Ljungby and Malmoe in southern Sweden, said Lars-Aake Nilsson of the Malmoe Homing Pigeon Club.

There is a belief that a brain organelle contains magnetite. That organelle provides animals (birds) a reference to the earth's magnetic field. During periods of geomagnetic storms, the magnetic field is disturbed. This is not the first instance of birds becoming disoriented from an extended geomagnetic storm. Look for stories of beached whales in the next day or so. A similar phenomonon is observed.




There were a few stories recently about Pelicans migrating up from Baja got lost and would up in Arizona instead of the CA coast. Also something about the Orca Pods being late in returning to the Victoria area in BC - some individuals still missing.

OPINION: The terrorists are too busy right now looking over their collective shoulders. They are probably really freaked out now. Sweating maybe. Just a little paranoid. Who's watching? Who's listening?

Oh well, just another day in jihad land.

I agree. I'd bet that thecabal could md5 the version with the code and the original and compare the fingerprints as well as I could.

There is the answer. It's that simple. If the fingerprint is the same, the file is the same. That means that the code is either there, or it's a screencap that's been edited. That should be obviously detectable mathematically, based on other frames in the stream.

I mentioned this to a few people in freepmail, so I'll put it here for everyone:

One of the things I've developed is a surveillance system using 16 USB cameras being controlled by one server on one USB bus (Linux based, of course). The cameras all do motion detection based on color change. Snapshots are taken at a rate of up to 15 fps, and saved as jpg files.

Once a day, the server renders the previous days pictures and makes 16 mpeg videos.

Using steganography, it's possible to hide data in the individual frames and have the data subsequently embedded in the movie. It's only possible if you take the jpgs as is with no compression, but it's possible. You could then break the mpeg down at a later time into it's component frames and recover the data.

It's certainly possible that it's a code, but it should be easy to prove or disprove.

Here's what we did back in '99 - I was part of the Internet-connected network




56-bit crypto code cracked in a day
By Tony Smith
Published Wednesday 20th January 1999 15:35 GMT


The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and a worldwide team of Web users has succeeded in cracking the 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) in under 23 hours. That record-setting figure beats the previous attempt, made by the EFF alone, which took 56 hours by around 33 hours 45 minutes. The code was broken using the EFF's specially designed code-cracking computer, Deep Crack, plus an Internet-connected network of 100,000 PCs, collectively known as Dsitributed.net. The operation was promoted by encryption specialist RSA Data Security, which offered $10,000 to anyone who could crack the 56-bit code in under 24 hours. The company's aim was to drive home its claims that 56-bit cryptography, the maximum strength that the US government permits for export, isn't sufficiently secure to protect sensitive data. Cracking the code isn't a subtle process -- essentially the system runs through all the possible combinations of bits in the key until it hits upon the right one -- but the EFF and Distributed.net's efforts show that the technology now exists to make that trial and error process run sufficiently quickly to make this approach feasible. Still, as RSA president put it, "any key size will eventually run out of life", which is why it believes the rules on powerful encryption should be relaxed to allow it to export software that uses much longer keys. The 56-bit DES system was introduced in 1977, and it's now past its sell-by date, says the RSA. ®

You're welcome. The last sentence of this article confirms bin Laden's son is living in Iran.

Hezbollah kept tabs on three 9/11 hijackers
By Knut Royce
Washington Bureau

July 23, 2004

WASHINGTON -- Several months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, it appears, the Iranian-sponsored terrorist organization Hezbollah was shadowing three of the hijackers as they flew from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon and onward to Iran.

Could Iran have had an inkling of the pending disaster?

Probably not, concludes the 9/11 commission in its final report yesterday. But it details a web of circumstantial evidence suggesting that the arrival and departure of three hijackers in November 2000 was of keen interest to Hezbollah and urges "further investigation by the U.S. Government."

"Hezbollah officials in Beirut and Iran were expecting the arrival of a group during the same time period," says the commission document, citing three intelligence reports prepared shortly after the attacks. "The travel of this group was important enough to merit the attention of senior figures in Hezbollah."

The intelligence reports apparently do not identify the group that so interested Hezbollah, but the commission concludes that it would be a "remarkable coincidence" if it was not the future hijackers.

In addition, the commission noted, an associate of a "senior Hezbollah operative" was on the same Beirut-to-Tehran flight as the three al-Qaida hijackers.

The hijackers were identified as Wail Alshehri and Waleed Alshehri, who were to become "muscle" hijackers on American Flight 11, one of the two jets to crash into the World Trade Center, and Ahmed Alnami, who flew on United Flight 93, which plowed into a Pennsylvania field after passengers tried to overwhelm the terrorists.

About the same time the trio was apparently being tracked by Hezbollah, a "senior Hezbollah operative" was on the same Beirut-bound flight as Ahmed Alghamdi, who ended up on United Flight 175, the other jetliner to fly into the Twin Towers.

While the commission noted that these bits of raw intelligence were of interest, it asserted that it "found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack."

The commission also concluded that al-Qaida did not have operational ties with Iraq or that Iraq had any foreknowledge of the Sept. 11 hijackings.

It did note intelligence reports from al-Qaida detainees claiming that Iranian officials facilitated the travel of al-Qaida members through Iran on their way to and from Afghanistan, and that Iranian border guards would not stamp visas on Saudi passports, so as to avoid possible scrutiny in Saudi Arabia.

However, two senior al-Qaida operatives in custody, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh, told their interrogators that Iran's relationship with the group was limited to transiting operatives through Iran and nothing more. They also denied that there was any relationship between the hijackers and al-Qaida.

More recent events, however, suggest that some factions inside Iran, notably its intelligence service and the revolutionary guards, have allowed some al-Qaida operatives safe-haven in the country.

Newsday reported in May 2003, for instance, that al-Qaida's former security chief, Saif al-Adel, had ordered through a cell phone inside Iran the car bomb attack on residential compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that killed 34, including eight Americans.

A son of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, Sa'ad, who is married to an Iranian woman, lives in Iran.
