I have always found espionage a fascinating subject, although I am ignorant of its boringly hi-tech modern methods and am far too stupid to understand cryptography, encipherment and kindred matters. I suppose these ungainly-looking whirligig affairs must be for snooping on foreign radio communications. Not strictly ethical, of course, but in an imperfect world a certain prejudice in one's own favour is unavoidable.

"Defending Freedom's Future" says a large sign outside the gates of "RAF" Lakenheath ...or something to that effect. I was reading on some pacifist website the other day that Lakenheath houses the country's largest concentration of nuclear weapons. Living as I do about a quarter of a mile from the flightpath I am used to seeing American fighter aeroplanes, usually in pairs, practicing the approach. Yesterday though, as I sat in my shed smoking and reading, it was one of these AWAC things, which usually operate from nearby Mildenhall. I trust that, in submitting this post, I have not placed my life in jeopardy by disclosing "classified" information.

Shurikens, remote-controlled shurikens, glue-grenade, electronics-disruptor, a better claw grappler, many high-tensile strength wires to hold captives, the cryptographic scanner (to hack his own WayneTech lol), and gas pellets!

Met de opkomst van de cryptocurrency Bitcoin kwam ook de revolutionaire technologie in beeld; de blockchain. FIBER en de Brakke Grond presenteren een avond met de Vlaamse cyberfilosoof Michel Bauwens over de blockchain. Een gedecentraliseerde database die de basis vormt achter de controversiële Bitcoin.

Rebuild of Colossus, the first electronic programmable computer, used to find the wheel settings on the German Lorenz cipher machine. Uses over 2,000 valves and achieves around 16,000 kilobits per second (I think).

 

The equivalent processor clock speed has been estimated at approximately 5.8 MHz. It runs at 5,000 characters per second. Modern PCs can run millions of characters per second.

Midnight Madness is the greatest ever real-life homage to an 1980's Michael J. Fox movie of the same name. A logic puzzle scavenger hunt extravaganza beginning at midnight and lasting about 16 hours (more or less, depending on your IQ and your stamina), it is spearheaded and administered by a group of former Columbia students who are now MIT grad students. 25 or so teams compete against eachother once a year in this battle of cryptographic wits with all of New York City as the potential game board.

 

I dare you to solve this by somehow deriving a lower east side street intersection from whatever is printed on this paper in 5 hours or less. Note: the fact that two street names are what you are aiming to extract from the gobbeldygook is information that was unknown to us at the time. We just knew we were trying to find "something" in it that would lead us to the next puzzle to solve.

M-9 Bombe Checking Machine

 

Since the Allies did not know the German's daily rotor settings, several Bombes worked on the same message. Each Bombe tested a different set of wheel orders. The Bombes usually found two sets of possible rotor settings on each run, but only one setting on one Bombe was the correct wheel order and rotor setting used by the Germans for that day. After the Bombe completed a run, a WAVE supervisor checked the printed results on this M-9 machine. She checked each result looking for the correct one. Once she found the results, she used the M-9 to fill in any missing plugboard positions. The Bombes could find only a portion of the Stecker (plugboard) positions.

DERMIT The FRAUD - Full Frontal

 

Dermit Has Been Scanned By The Advanced Cryptographic Fuzzy Wuzzy MRI Machine to Embed His Bio IDs into the Matrix (the one of course from Neuromancer, not so much the still pretty cool movie of the same name - but yes also the Buddhist concept is perfectly fine too).

 

He of course is taking a large risk in doing this but has taken many precautions including special fraud eye-drops, false tongue and skin paint to mask his true identity. With any luck Dermit will soon have access to the control deck of the universe and will offer - at reasonable pricing - fake drivers permits and of course his famous art forgeries to his masses of underworld fans.

 

go Dermit you are the FROG!!

Edwards AFB 04/03/14

Boeing C-135C "Stratolifter" ("Specked Trout") (18345) (USAF 61-2269)(412th Flight Test Squadron Edwards AFB, Speckled Trout is the official name of a combined

SAF/CSAF support mission and concurrent test mission. It was also the official nickname given to the squadron and the C-135C, 61-2669 that was used by the Secretary and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force for executive transport requirements. Fully equipped with an array of communications equipment, data links and cryptographic sets, the aircraft served a secondary role as a testbed for proposed command and control systems and was also used to evaluate future transport aircraft The name Speckled Trout was chosen in honor of an early program monitor, Faye Trout, who assisted in numerous phases of the project. The word "speckled" was added because Trout apparently had "a lot of freckles."

Mathematics is the core discipline of the National Security Agency. Algebra, number theory, real and complex analysis, probability theory and statistics are used on a daily basis to solve challenging problems in information security and communications technology.
