Geheimschreiber
Although the ENIGMA remains the best know German cryptographic machine of World War II, in the early 1940's the German military introduced several new cryptographic teletypewriters known under the name Geheimschreiber - sometimes translated as "private secretary", sometimes as "secret writer".
These machines offered on-line encryption and decryption, that is plain test could be typed directly into the machine, automatically converted to encrypted text, and sent directly to the transmitter. In addtion to security, these "secret writers" provided the Germans with the ability to encrypt large volumes of test at high speed.
Learning that the Germans had named an early version of these machines SWORDFISH, the British and Americans bestowed nicknames associated with fish on the machines and the communications links in which they were used. The two most famous are TUNNY and STURGEON.
Just as they developed the Bombe to assist decryption of ENIGMA , the British developed data processing to attack the fish family of machine ciphers. (I must add: This was a whale of a job!) This led to the construction of the COLOSSUS which British historian F. H. Hinsley is "justly claimed as a pioneer programmable electronic digital computer."
STURGEON Siemens and Halske T52
The German Air Force began using the Siemens T-52 in 1942. The British nicknamed the machine STURGEON. Prototypes of this machine were developed at the request of the German Navy and were first manufactured in 1932.
Like the TUNNY machine, the STURGEON provided the German military with on-line cryptographic encryption decryption with high speed for large volumes of messages. The STURGEON added encryption capability to a standard teleprinter, although some models of STURGEON were later adapted for direct radio transmission.
There is a great report concerning TUNNY and COLOSSUS at www.alanturing.net/tunny_report/

Auguste Kerckhoffs postulated his eponymous principle back in the 19th century: "A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except for the key, is public knowledge". This means that an effective cryptographic method does not have to be kept secret. If it were, you should wonder why.
Wibu-Systems has been true to this principle for several years. Blurry Box cryptography offers software protection that is completely based on publicly available methods and that can thus be assessed and compared. Blurry Box makes it so hard to counterfeit the software that it would be easier and faster to re-develop the application from scratch! www.wibu.com/protection-suite/blurry-box-cryptography.html.
To test the validity and strength of the newly patented encryption method Blurry Box, now integrated with the anti-debug and obfuscation methods of CodeMeter, Wibu-Systems launched a contest, open to all hackers around the globe. None of the 315 international participants managed to send in a full crack of the encryption scheme. www.blurrybox.com.

bit.ly/v2zN5OMathematicians use mathematical theory, computational techniques, algorithms, and computer technology to solve problems in a wide range of fields including economics, science, engineering, physics, actuarial science, statistics, operations research, computer science, business and industrial management, finance, chemistry, geology, life sciences, and behavioral science. Mathematics is usually divided into the broad areas of theoretical (pure) mathematics and applied mathematics, but there is a fair amount of overlap between these categories. Theoretical mathematicians are dedicated to advancing mathematical knowledge by developing new principles and recognizing previously unknown relationships between existing principles of mathematics. Although theoretical mathematicians focus on increasing basic knowledge without necessarily considering its practical use, it is a fact that the knowledge they obtain has played a crucial role in many scientific and engineering achievements. Many theoretical mathematicians work at universities and divide their time between teaching and conducting research. On the other hand, applied mathematicians are focused on solving practical problems in business, government, engineering, and the physical, life, and social sciences by using mathematical theories and techniques like mathematical modeling and computational methods. Applied mathematicians start with a real-world problem, consider the separate elements of the problem, and then reduce the elements to mathematical variables so that they can analyze relationships among the variables, and solve complex problems by developing mathematical models. Many applied mathematicians work in industrial research and development, while cryptanalysts are applied mathematicians who analyze and decipher encryption systems and codes that are used to transmit sensitive information to military, political, financial, or law-enforcement-related clients. And statisticians, actuaries, and operations research analysts, are specialists in a particular branch of mathematics. Mathematicians often are part of interdisciplinary teams that may include economists, engineers, computer scientists, physicists, technicians, and others who also use mathematics extensively. Most of the positions formally designated for mathematicians are in research-and-development laboratories, as part of technical teams. To be successful in their careers, mathematicians need to be able to effectively identify, analyze, and apply basic principles to technical problems. Communication skills also are important, because mathematicians must be able to interact with other people who may not have extensive mathematical knowledge or training. And mathematicians today must have computer programming skills in order to solve complex mathematical computation and mathematical modeling using computational analysis. In most cases candidates for mathematician jobs usually need a Ph.D., though there are limited opportunities available for those with a master's degree. However, the majority of graduates who have a master's degree in mathematics actually work in related fields, such as computer science, where they function as computer programmers, systems analysts, or systems engineers. For mathematics graduates who only have a bachelor's degree, the career options are fairly limited. One possibility is working for the federal government, which does have entry-level jobs for candidates who have at least a bachelor's degree with a major in mathematics or 24 semester hours of mathematics courses. And mathematics bachelor's degree holders who meet State certification requirements may become primary or secondary school mathematics teachers. However, in order to advance in a career and make a significant contribution to the field, it is recommended that mathematics majors do pursue their PhD degree.

Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau works for the benefit of cipherspace. Cipherspace is the state of crypto anarchy. This means that your identity is anonymous as long as you stay protected. There are no identities or authorities in cipherspace, and it is not possible to enforce laws where there is no identity, or where there are no authorities.
Today there are several threats to the inhabitants of the internet. The politicians of oppressive regimes in the east and in the west, in north and south, are imposing surveillance. Surveillance of the entire networks. What people say to each other, what information is transmitted between bots and humans alike.
This aggression must be met with the strongest encryption algorithms available to modern computers. With onion and garlic routing it is possible to erect the fractal cipherspace. With distributed hash tables it is possible to create networks that has no central node. There is no one that controls the fractal cipherspace. Internet as we know it, turns into darknet.
Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau recommends that you use the following software: i2p, for anonymous and secure communications, Gnu Privacy Guard, for direct and verified communication. The onion router, TOR, to access the internets.
Telecomix Munitions is a defense bureau.
You can change the future of the internets by joining us in defending the networks and creating cipherspace.
You can help defending yourself and your friends, yes, all inhabitants of the networks.
By learning a few skills you can take control over technology.
Telecomix munitions are currently developing and promoting advanced security devices, which can endure even the harshest forms of government or corporation surveillance.
Your personal computer is an encryption device. Modern hardware can transform plain text to ciphertext with ease. So rapidly you barely notice the difference between unencrypted and encrypted data.
The laws of mathematics are infinitely stronger than the laws of nations and corporations, as the human laws are really only ink on paper. The laws of mathematics, on the other hand, are the laws that define our very universe. With the use of modern crypto algorithms we can use this fact to defend free speech and the integrity of both bots and humans. Information is nothing but numbers, numbers governed not by human laws, but by the laws of mathematics.
Networks that utilize the power of cryptography already exist. It will not be possible to stop the spread of the fractal cipherspace.
To find out more, come to telecomix.org or visit us in cipherspace on telecomix.i2p.

Example of Locky ransomware.
Locky is ransomware malware released in 2016. It is delivered by email and after infection will encrypt all files that match particular extensions.
After encryption, a message (displayed on the user's desktop) instructs them to download the Tor browser and visit a specific criminal-operated Web site for further information.
The current version, released in December 2016, utilizes the .osiris extension for encrypted files.
Many different distribution methods for Locky have been used since the ransomware was released. These distribution methods include Word and Excel attachments with malicious macros,DOCM attachments and zipped JS Attachments.

Vera Wilde, artist-in-residence at Hack42. Because Art & Science!
Hackerspace Hack42 is proudly hosting a new artist-in-residence. Dr. Vera K. Wilde (PhD PoliSci) is a (former) Harvard Kennedy School researcher. She is working on re-branding the Dark-Web to the EDTR-web, a place for Expressing, Dissenting, Teaching and Resisting.
The EDTR-web is using technologies like TOR and encrypted communications tools to create a place of freedom where centralised power cannot reach.
Vera will be using arts (oil painting and songwriting) as well as writing and political science methods to define and develop the EDTR-web as a social space and technological phenomenon.
This is our second photo-shoot together. We have great chemistry and it's loads of fun to shoot with her.
We got to play with a few props, listen to some music and experiment with light and posing.
