UN asc. Britbro here, you may have seen me in KB threads or on the last minute tech thread last night.

Here is what I can disclose:
> western governments are using the WebIndex and others as a measuring stick for online harassment, violence etc
> the £3m cleared by Sadiq Khan was for the analysis and gathering program/system as well as setup, servers, hardware etc
> the people up top are worried by you lot, they do not understand trolling at its core
> direct quote "well its not nice is it?"; they struggle to effectively analyse the issue because they fundamentally do not understand
> there is support for enacting some sort of Internet Drivers Licence, e.g such as in China, or what was proposed for Russia but didnt go through.
> you would either need to pass a test to have access to certain parts of the internet, or would have a points system whereby you can have all internet privileges revoked.

DO NOT LAUNCH OPERATION SAMSON. this is playing right into their hands. There is very little I can do.

Be proud in the knowledge you are shitting up some of the most powerful people around, but be wary; they know, they are worried, and they are planning.

Stay safe chaps.

Shameless self bump

You better not be a faggot OP
Also im not clicking that link.
Bump

I guess nobody is interested in the oncoming internet access shitstorm then...

Yeah i typed out the link, its thewebindex.org not webindex.org

Dont worry, its just a passive website, you dont get flagged for going on it. Im pretty sure at least, I havent been.

Also, thanks for the rare.

What is going on that you can tell us. How did you get into contact with this information.

Who are you directly quoting. If no names, which organization exactly.

Also, you must be new. Why here.

Playing right into their hands how? Do you not realize how badly this will only backfire on them and make them a target of every last blackhat/freedom types out there? Combine that with the problems samson will cause for them...
I'm not sure it's us you should be worried about here.

bamp

How accurate is this? Can't we make the argument that analysis programs like this are not even close to detecting sarcasm and satire in text format? What kind of rational individuals would choose to take physical action against people based on such a thing? Can this be framed as literal thought policing and any actions based on this data be called totalitarian in nature?

This shit needs to stop.

Also, OP Cred Forums does whatever it wants.

This user gets it. Freedom is not going to be wrestled from Americans so easily

Last i heard Japan is not in the EU and the 4chin servers are still in the US.

why have i never heard of this shit? what is the webindex, can someone wrap it up for me?

I lurk a lot but at odd hours, so I mostly see yank posters or Euros.
Everything I can say I have pretty much said. I cannot give names because it will make it too easy to find out who I am, and also once its out of the box it doesnt go back in.

I can tell you that people in the UNSC (United Nations Security Council) have vested interests in this.
Also, as we can see from online hate speech arrests in Scotland and the new hate speech cyber unit of New Scotland Yard, the pace is advancing, people are pushing it but assumedly there is resistance, a lot of people dont know the full extent of the plan, they think its just going to make the internet safer.
However major legislations would have to be put into effect to roll this out on any significant scale, so is likely a few years down the pipeline, cant get more specific.

I dont think you realise how these people think.
The guy that quote is from got turned on to the idea because he saw a documentary on some autistic girl who got cyber bullied, not even joking.

They fundamentally do not understand trolling and see it as pests and harassment, not free speech. They will gladly use any one large enough scale shitpost as reason d'etre to start clamping down on who has access to what. This is how these people think. All they need is the perception of a justification and that is enough to start pushing the idea.

O.k, merchant time now freakin larper

...

Not you lot specifically, but general online harassment and "violence". And obviously this place being one of the ringleaders is going to be one of the most heavily affected as we enjoy our freedoms of speech more than most.

>hate speech cyber unit of New Scotland Yard
>UNSC
No this is way more than enough, thank you user.

Its clear from their "women's protection" option that it is a means of controlling speech in accordance to the jew's rules. They can always add in a bunch of other shit once they get the main platform accepted.

They will 100% start by pushing it in the mildest most heroic possible form. Fuck.

This has been going for a while now. No doubt with the rise of populism (((they))) are engaging their alternative route strategies. Hate speech laws exist here in Trinidad and pretty much all over the EU and are being attempted in the US.

This is definitely a huge part of the (((plan)))

If im LARPed im a cunt. but its too hot to fuck around with.

...

can you chill the fuck out. There are like 100 CTR threads you can merchant in. Fuck why would you wanna do it here where something interesting is happening.

...

Yeah i just picked a random website and made up all this bullshit for fun..?

Either that or Im actually trying to give you cunts some info.

Up to you what you believe, theres no way in hell im posting names so make your own mind up. Wont affect me.

Larper you freakin shill. Or do you really believe the UNSC would care about shitposting. IF Op has used some of the hundred other Organisations of the UN for his LARP, it could have been probable, but like this, merchant time

...

...

...

Probably the best proof I can give you without baiting myself is that people within Russian government & UN already tried this in russia but failed. I very much doubt that info is out many places.

...

Are you saying this is related to the Obama Internet handover? Sweden is not UN. Can you explain this in any way?
whatever, atleast you're bumping the thread.

sure

why did it fail

To clarify
You mean the internet hate policing?

Oh, I know full well exactly how (((those))) people think.
It's why (((they)))'ve taken every last piece of bait that's been laid out for (((them))).
There is no such thing as (((coincidence))).

I mean full blown Internet Passport type shit. I.E you have to register to a government database, use a government chosen browser, only look at approved content or you could be flagged and have access taken away depending on the severity of the material.

...

No, this brit user is right. We have been focussing very heavily on winning the election for trump and doing /cfg/ related work.

There is no doubt that this is a big part of the plan. We know very little about this but its fucking everywhere.

Started with gawker a fucking good while back.

Well austria is very salty today

Thanks for identifying yourself as shill

Yeah, there's NO way that could ever massively fail, be exploited, or be used against themselves in any way shape or form.

Ok i did a quick search on the russia thing. nothing on internet censorship but the already tight putin anti gay anti porn stuff we already know.

Is Yandex related?

Why do you think it didnt happen? Not enough people had any clue how it really worked, none of the oligarchs really wanted it, and of course it is pretty goddamn Orwellian which put a lot of people off. However attitudes are quite different in the EU and thusly the plan has adapted.

Im not saying this is coming tomorrow, this is years in the making, but the groundwork is already laid and being built on.

>relating unrelated stuff
>Not posting sauces
>Putin bashing level shill
Why cant Brock hire shills who know their business

Im not a shill you dumb cunt

Hillary is a fucking nigger and she deserves to die. Trump is the only person that deserves to win america in this day and age and he is the single most important part of dismantling the fucking jewish machine.

What i am saying is that we have our attention on two issues. But this issue is rapidly becoming important and we dont have much info beyond what we know from the fucking gamergate shit.

...

You are a shill, it's far to obvious regarding the OP you try in /cfg/

...

...

Havent heard them mentioned directly, but it would be a large amount of service providers forced to host under strict restrictions, or large government investment into a load of server farms.

Im not on the 'inside' of the plan, I just work with what I hear and what I get told.

...

...

...

...

Oh, I hope it does happen. Once it does, then the REAL fun will begin for the dying EU.

...

Why is it (((merchant))) spammers are unironically the actual subject of what is being posted? Is it literally like being a closeted homofaggot but even worse, since they're a fucking (((jew)))?

Putin is great. him kicking out pornhub was the greatest foot in the ass of the jew in modern politics. Trump winning would crown that.

Is this #neverhillary? or templatejerk?

Hmm ill see what i can find with the russia connection.

the only way to go. Fuck off kike

Not sure if its a proof but its an envelope from the hotel where I met my first russian jew. Kept the letter because it was a mad night.

Your handwriting and the envelope is probably enough to dox you, if GCHQ is so inclined.

If the internet becomes a safe space, people will find an alternative. The genie is out of the bottle now.

Movie and music companies still continuallt try, and fail, to put the genie back.

Fortunately, the brightest and the best will be in the resistance, it's in their nature.

Its a bit awkward cus obviously I want to be in these circles later on in my career but I love the chans too much to be on board. Some of the best keks around desu

>I guess nobody is interested in the oncoming internet access shitstorm then...

I posted this in another thread. It doesn't matter, the clear web has been doomed for quite some time and we'll see a re-surgence of people who want free speech and anonymity online simply switch over to darknets like Tor and other overlay networks.

We know technically that you simply cannot have the internet and stop this, not when strong encryption and secure handshaking exists, the only people it will hurt a the normies and who gives a shit about them?

i'm breddy sure Tor is a cia project

Get in. Get in. Get in. Get in. Get in.

Become the high level insider. You can live two lives and leak quietly like FBI user later.

Even if those circles end up imploding or putsched?
NAVY. Bitcoin is CIA/NSA though.

I know guys at GCHQ. They tried to test my mates secure desktop prototype, said it was secure as fuck.
I cracked the bitch wide open in 23 minutes with 2 batch files. They really arent that smart, apart from the proper oldfags they have there. And most of them will be ex-channers anyway: one of my mates is doing Cyber Security at uni, and GCHQ came in to have a talk and the guy literally said its fine if you smoke a bit of the "ganja".

trippy

Also, im sure this wont make a difference, its not major to anyone inside, its just not publicised outside. If i was already being tracked it wont make a difference, its not me theyd have to worry about.

Im more concerned about giving out names and you cunts doxxing people I work with or myself. Theres always one

True that, but those same agencies own most exit nodes on Tor and have done for ages, there are very few actually secure methods. If you source and verify a load of IPs you could make a manual front to rear Chain and just whack yourself somewhere along it, but even then..

Circles stay the same by and large, just new players step in and out. Kinda prodigying at the minute. Just waiting and seeing.

I work in IT. Implementing a Internet Driving license type system would be extremely difficult.

The network underlayer of how the internet sort of works (MAC addresses, IP Addresses) was never designed to have a authentication aspect built into it. There's no username or password to log onto a centralized place before transmitting packets.

When governments censor internet activity, usually thats by blocking or redirecting requests to certain domain names or IP addresses, which isn't difficult to implement.

But having a system where everyone in the UK has to log onto the internet would be impossible to implement and be 100% sure it'd work and be secure. (That matters when cases go to trial, an IP address now isn't clear enough evidence to convict somebody on.)

The only way this could be implemented would be on the application level, rewriting things like the HTTP protocol and then blocking everything that isnt' being used that's been written by them. Then people would have to use government approved browsers as they'd built some sort of authentication aspect into it (The browser would get reverse engineered within days and work arounds learnt). This would pretty much break everything else on the internet (VoIP, Online Gaming, IRC, everything), they'd have to rewrite everything and then get everywhere to adopt it, which would take decades and probably wouldn't take off.

I'm not saying this is BS, I think this is something they'd totally like to do but technically this isn't possible with how the internet functions.

Last year they wanted to ban encryption in applications, that wasn't technically possible so they dropped it. Same thing will happen here.

>totally not shocked s.khan is already jumping the gun on is

On a different subject, arent south park doing episodes now on online trolling? The people at the top are trying to take it seriously, makes sense they don't understand it.

I'd be more worried for the website.
How secure do you think it is?
If someone cracks it wide open, who will they find?
If they target who they find, what will they get out of them?

Im aware its extremely difficult, the Chinese of all countries wanted to do it as well which is utterly insane.

I dont know any technical specifics, I have no idea how they plan on doing it, I just know the WebIndex shit is the beginning. I know basic programming and some intrusion but im nowhere near close enough to be getting system specs. And like I said, it is years in the making.

I assume theyre gunna wait and see how the WebIndex front goes.

kek
>its fine if you smoke a bit of the "ganja".\
oldfag confirmed god the fogies are so slow. I respect elders except when they are liberals.

names would be amazing. But yes 10/10 would dox. shills would fuck you as fast as you let out your own information though.

Excellent points, was going to bring up feasability issues.

The thing is, they do not have to start with a full plan. Just a set of laws. The plan can come after if they design all the necessary systems. Keep in mind putin is quite good at picking up on and censoring traffic. it does not mean everything is spotted or blocked but the combination of an automatic system and astute government workers may make workarounds unfeasible in the mass scale.

I agree that it is difficult, but there is a long con with this and better and better internet tech and AI's does actually make this a serious reality.

REMEMBER LAD, THE QUEEN IS ON OUR SIDE IN THIS BATTLE.

DO IT FOR HER.

The prize isnt in the system, it would be in the intranet, the emails of who is setting up what where, how much money, what the restriction limits are and that. Thats where the prize is

Who's involved in this scheme exactly?

Are any private corporations involved? Any backers donating towards it?

How much do you know OP

>The network underlayer of how the internet sort of works (MAC addresses, IP Addresses) was never designed to have a authentication aspect built into it. There's no username or password to log onto a centralized place before transmitting packets.

IT Director here.

And more fundamentally than authentication is that routing and strong encryption allows traffic to be obscured using overlay networks. So even if you had to auth with some system first, if you do that but then transmit encrypted data across that system then cannot use DPI to tell what you're doing. And if you route traffic after that authentication system, through some service which many other people use then it's not possible to tell what you're connecting to.

So not only is it impossible right now to stop anonymity online, no kind of authentication would help either.

You can never stop strong encryption and more fundamentally we rely on it anyway for secure transactions to protect people for legitimate reasons.

The only issues we'll face are social ones, teaching people how to use Tor and other darknets as the clear web starts getting more and more controlled by government. As soon as the demand for darknets increase that knowledge will spread like wildfire and it'll never be un-done.

fucking open society REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
God i fucking hate soros
Is the jew involved in this?
There was a massive leak

I would love to, but I would be jeopardising my entire future and make me homeless.

Of course he is, who else would it be?
It's not your first day, or first redpill should I say.

tell us just the name of some institution/departament to dig in.

Main pusher i know has close ties with governments of Russia, Israel, France that im directly aware of. Calls netanyahu 'benny' and has him on speeddial 4.
He has ties with GCHQ and other similar agencies so one would assume their tacit compliance, in terms of private organisations or individuals the Russian jews/oligarchs are against it.
Cant really tell you company names because the pusher owns some and i live in his house. (Not gay, very long story)
So you can probably see why im playing this close to the chest.

Havent heard him mentioned, would not surprise me in the slightest though.

Based on what evidence? It's not, in fact it's backed heavily by people like the EFF who have a long history of activism and impartial work done to benefit the internet. And even if you speculated that it was, onion networks are in theory possible which means even if all the current ones were honeypots you could still in theory build a working one.

The fact that sites like the silk road ran for so long without being busted, and when they were finally busted it wasn't through technical bugs or back doors in Tor, demonstrates quite clearly that they're not honeypots.

First of all where's the evidence they own most of the exit nodes?

Second of all, owning an exit node doesn't matter, you can read any traffic coming out of the exit node thats in clear text, but you cannot tell who is sending receiving it. The only known attacks on Tor are correlation attacks if you happen to be extremely unlucky and connect to both and entrance and exit node that the same adversary owns and they have the computing power to correlate packets, even that's not strong evidence.

The Tor project know a lot of the exit node owners and we know at least some act in good faith (EFF etc), they monitor how many nodes come online and when, so they know if someoens trying to flood the network to do a correlation attack.

Tor isn't perfect and could be better, however it's good enough to stop the government, all the attacks on Tor user have been side channel attacks and not direct attacks on Tor itself, that tells you something about the security of it.

You guys are thinking literal internet "logon" stuff. But they could technically just have you on a blacklist and have organizations refuse to sign you up.

All they would need is a way to link you (real person) to you (account activity) there are hate speech AI's right now that are getting more and more advanced.

You would still have access and IP's would only be blockable where access can be controlled somewhat (like with china). but you could never fully prevent traffic from leaving. Its just that the average person is no IT expert and will be 100% fucked.

For most traffic, there is anonymity under your rules. But for account information, credit card purchases, social media and the like. Definitely more stuff

think normies, is there really no way to implement something like this in the foreseeable future?

Get a human proxy. Leak some stuff in here through the last guy in line, but make sure there's enough bullshit to not get detected. Even better if they don't know what they're doing. At least you can give us something to work with that way.

I dont have any, im not massively techy. Was told by the guy involved that Tor alone wasnt secure, and hes been doing this sort of stuff 30 odd years. Also a couple of Cred Forums and baphomet guys said similar things, and a lot of sites that get taken down by agencies are then honeypotted.

If youre saying its more secure than that then thats calm, good to know.

Wait wait wait, the oligarchs arent involved? I thought they sucked the EU's dick to pick fights with Putin?

Are these the "anti rothschild" russian jews i have been reading up? FUCK i have not researched enough into the god damn families.

He would know it was me immediately, and I would be monumentally fucked. We have fiscal agreements that would not do well from that.

Samson needs a haircut methinks.

Rare flag, proxy I'm assuming.

I'm not thinking "logon stuff" I'm saying that in theory it's not possible even if you force user to authenticate who they are, because traffic on the web can be routed through whatever servers you like (and have access to) and encryption allow for secure tunneling.

Go read about how Tor works and you'll realise that banning IPs and correlating IPs and accounts and people is all something you can get around.

You don't need to be an IT expert, the point is that IT experts build these tools like Tor and make them simple to use, installing the Tor browser bundle is no more complicated than installing any other browser.

Obviously if you have to present identifiable info for example if you want to use a service that only takes legit credit cards then there's nothing you can do about that, but that's why bitcoin is a good thing, it allows for anonymous payments (when used right)

I don't really care too much about normies, if they want to be tracked or blocked that their issue not mine, what matters is that solutions do exist and can exist and will continue to exist and they're super easy to acquire and use.

Well the mafia, oligarchs and government are all intertwined in Russia. Some of them sold out to US businesses after the USSR collapse when most of them made their billions, but the upper hierarchy are pretty frigid when it comes to working with the american globalists. They love israel though (being jewish), once youve heard a 12 hour jewish techno mix you can never unhear that shit.

Depends on how much you leak at once, and how much bullshit you put in each post.

>I don't really care too much about normies, if they want to be tracked or blocked that their issue not mine, what matters is that solutions do exist and can exist and will continue to exist and they're super easy to acquire and use.
Extreme sigh of relief. Next question then is how to protect websites themselves from being disabled. Cred Forums must live forever.

Well don't just take peoples word for it, demand evidence. Tor alone is secure if you use it right, although many people do not and get owned.

A lot of sites have been taken down and honeypotted that's absolutely right, but they were taken down through side channel attacks they were not compromised because of an issue with Tor, mostly through OPSec fails by the users/admins.

Bullshit as in intentionally waffle as to dilute the chances of the leaked info being spotted? Fair enough, good idea there. Would still have to be careful though.

This guy literally designed aerospace and intelligence comms systems, so when I asked 'So is Tor safe then?' and he laughs shaking his head I took his word for it.

Granted he could be out of the loop as of late, has been dealing with more conventional business matters.

I can already imagine some handicapped indian female smelling of just baked turd giving a "speech" that goes "in 2016 it iz ridiculus thaat weebsites saporting genocide aganst all jews iz allowd to egsist, it iz a voileeshon of human rites and fo this reeson we plan to terminaate them owl fo the betta of mankind"
>standing ovation ensues

m00t would have campaigned against this

Tor allows both routing of traffic through it to anonymize it, but it also allows for Tor hidden services which means the website is hosted inside that darknet and no one can tell where the real location of that site is. (assuming it's done right)

Read up about the silk road and other high profile illegal sites in the dark web, they ran for years before finally being busted, there's already solutions for this problem. I don't browse the dark web regularly but I'd be willing to bet there's already people running Cred Forums-like image boards there.

Appeal to authority fallacy. He needs to present some evidence to back his claim for it to be credible.

Saw you on those threads, thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

You know your shit. Would you like a job in Monaco by any chance..?
Youd be surprised how little the average cyber security grad knows about this. Even the average analyst from GCHQ is far less effective than a google search.

>Pascal Legai
Hot warm cold?
>Copernicus

Just want to get a bit of a guide.

Fair enough, I will inquire next time im home. Im just fairly used to this guy being on the ball with pretty much everything

Im sorry mate im not gunna leak names. It wouldnt help anything anyway, and Im playing the long game here, like many years long. If I get in a position to have more leverage or more useful info, I will definitely return.

I've been saying this shit for months. The more exposure and notoriety Cred Forums and Cred Forums gets, the more likely some government bigwig is going to just switch us off. Not only is that bad for us but it's also pretty unfair for the regulars of all the other boards who might never even visit Cred Forums.

And yet everywhere I look everyone's just celebrating because they finally feel like they have some power. Fucking idiots. We live in an age of hyperbole. One moment we're frog enthusiasts with opinions that go against the grain, the next we're actual Nazis who need to be stopped at all cost.

No problem burger friend, happy to help.

GCHQ is actually pretty insightful at times, they gave us #148800 for instance.

I stand corrected in that case

so still no prove or at least any kind of information regarding OPs claims of the UNSC going hard on shitposts
>@Trinidad Dude
Take your meds

Read the news mate.
Also nowhere did i say this was happening now, tomorrow or next year. I have no clue. All I know is this is what recent budget increases and cyber units have been about, which is clear to see if youre up to date on news in tech, crime or whatever. Thats not a secret.

Just showing you the index that theyre measuring it from as in the first post. There is nothing else to give because there is nothing else: this is the beginning, but it is slowly and surely happening. Believe it or not, it matters not to me either way. Id much rather keep a roof over my head and my head on my shoulders thanks.

And if the greater plan past WebIndex is just theory and proposal in the corridors of power, there isnt going to be any evidence of it as yet. It failed in russia, so clearly they are trying a different tack.

Weak Larper
try

I work in the IT field and did a decade of sysad and now I'm working as a Director managing the project side of things. But I do loads of infosec stuff during my spare time, pen testing and that kinda thing, trying to break into the security field to be honest, just because it's more fun to hack/break things.

Business sent us to Defcon this year, was fucking amazing. Always open for job offers but not outside of the UK, at least not right now.

Well he could be right, but I've never seen any evidence to show that Tor itself has been compromised, there has been bugs over the years but right now it's safe unless someone has some evidence to show otherwise.

Ignore the troll. They shit up KB threads. I can't imagine why this isn't getting more attention, but then it is early morning on a Saturday in my neck of the woods.

I honestly could not care less if an Austrian child believes me or not.

Sounds good mate, I do a fair bit on kali & armitage but nothing serious. If you dont work in offsec i would honestly recommend it as a next potential step, you know more than 90% of the supposed eggheads I talk to.

Haha the stories ive heard from defcon is you should never take a phone or work laptop in because it will 100% be riddled worse than an Amsterdam harlet

Yeah it's something I'll do eventually it's just risky switching career paths, right now I'm doing so well where I am and getting into upper management is just a good notch to have on your belt.

Defcon is seriously worth going to if you're into security and hacking, it's not really an infosec conference more of a traditional hacking conference, but there's some cool stuff there. I took my phone and laptop and wasn't pwned to my knowledge, but that's definately good advice if you're a newbie to the con.

Already secured going back next year with my boss, I pen tested his new social media site and he was pleased so said he'd get us a suite next year. Perks of the job :)

Yeah to be fair that sounds pretty cushty mate, especially if youre going into upper management and leading the cyber front. Most upper managment types ive met glaze over when you ask anything about their systems, so having someone know about it is massively useful for them.

Also as evidenced by that nice new setup youll be getting, a lot of upper mgmt has no idea about the costs so they will plug any hole with a lot of money. One of the reasons white hat pays so well in the right places. Sounds like youre pretty sorted though man, congrats.

Is it coming to the EU or the entire west?

Because this shit wouldn't fly in the USA.

I havent heard anything about the US, and cus you guys love your amendments so much itd be a lot harder if not impossible to push through.
Until people start getting arrested in the US for online hate speech youre fine.

>they gave us #148800 for instance.
Is this supposed to be significant? All I see is an RBG colour matrix

As far as im aware its a joke

OK mate, given what you've said, what are some good places to start?

What are practical steps we can take aside from https/proxies? (even then I don't have any good proxy sources that I can trust, and if I pay for them well now someone can get my car details)

Any helpful resources? I'm starting my career in IT and am considering specialising in infosec so this is 2 birds with 1 stone for me

What about freenet or i2p?
Will these be our wastelands?

There are still loads of ways to communicate, SSH, IRC, voip etc, and like IT user said above if it came to it we could all just move onto Tor.

A decent place to start for infosec/offsec I found was kali linux: downloaded it on an old laptop that i can easily dispose of, it comes with programs for any time of cyber security field you want.
A very good program on Kali is called Armitage: its basically a remote group domain on metasploit that your team can log into, do recce, identify targets on networks, infect hosts, recover data etc.

It comes with regularly updated exploits and payloads for targets as well as a SOCKs protocol to help increase anonymity.
From there, look up Metasploitable, it is an intentionally vulnerable server you can host on a virtual machine or second computer so you can practice.
The Armitage website has all this stuff on it, very good guides.
