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.
I was asked to shoot a couple of photos of Vera. We connected really well and it turned into a two hour photo-shoot in which we had great fun driving around the hackerspace and Buitenplaats Koningsweg compound looking for shooting locations during golden hour.

Bitcoin is one of the world’s first crypto currency systems which in easier terms is digital money. Basically, the idea is to use paperless, digital money with enough encryption so that every transaction is secured and there’s no trace left.

In combination with the EOS-1D Mark III, Canon expands the professional EOS system with the following accessories:
Speedlite 580EX II – When connected to the EOS-1D Mark III, the Speedlite 580EX II allows for weather resistant flash shooting and flash control via the camera’s menu system. Replacing the Speedlite 580EX, it offers faster, silent recycle times and a more durable build quality. A new Off-Camera Shoe Cord, Compact Battery Pack and Speedlite Bracket (also released today) maintain moisture and dust resistance for off camera shooting.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 – Smaller, lighter and more versatile than its predecessor, the unit enables wireless image transfers to computers and remote FTP servers. Support for HTTP means that picture editors can connect to the EOS-1D Mark III over the internet – allowing them to view, select and download images from the camera’s memory card moments after capture. PTP connection mode enables two-way communication between the EOS-1D Mark III and a computer for wireless remote shooting with the supplied EOS Utility software.
Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 – Like the Data Verification Kit DVK-E2, the Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 can detect whether an image has been changed since it was captured by the camera. In addition to data verification, Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 supports image encryption for protection of critical images.
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM – Superior image quality
Canon’s engineers have completely redesigned the optics on the EF 16‑35mm f/2.8L II USM to deliver higher contrast levels and improved resolving power. To ensure corner-to-corner sharpness and contrast throughout the focal range, the lens includes three types of aspherical lens elements (ground, replicated and glass moulded). Two UD lens elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, while Super Spectra lens coatings suppress flare and ghosting.
Rapid auto focus is driven by a virtually silent Ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) incorporating Canon’s latest auto focus algorithms. Full-time mechanical manual focus override is also provided. As with all L-series lenses, the EF 16‑35mm f/2.8L II USM is weather sealed to protect against dust and moisture.
A new 82mm Protect filter for the EF 16‑35mm f/2.8L II USM has been released to coincide with today’s launch.
Speedlite 580EX II – Increased durability
The Speedlite 580EX II improves on many of the specifications of its predecessor. Recycling is silent and up to 20% faster. Weather seals ensure that when attached to the EOS-1D Mark III, the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 achieves the same level of dust and moisture resistance as the camera itself. A redesigned metal flash foot plate and connector pins allow more stable communication between the camera and flash, while a quick release mechanism minimises wear and tear on both units. The flash head zoom covers the range 24mm to 105mm and an integrated diffusion panel allows extended wide-angle coverage to 14mm.
The new Off Camera Shoe Cord OC-E3, Compact Battery Pack CP-E4 and Speedlite Bracket SB-E2 also allow sealing against dust and moisture, giving photographers a complete system to achieve off-camera lighting effects in difficult weather conditions.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 – Faster workflows
Responding to feedback from Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1 users, Canon has expanded the functionality of the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 to also support two-way communication via peer to peer (PTP) and HTTP protocols. Remote users can trigger the shutter button or download images from the camera via an internet browser window, dramatically reducing the time it takes from capture to publication. The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 offers users a greater degree of security by allowing up to 4 types of WEP encryption as well as WPA2-PSK, which supports high security AES encryption.
USB host functionality means photographers can shoot directly to external storage media on longer shooting assignments. The unit also supports recording of GPS data - when connected to a portable GPS device, the location and time of capture is automatically added to each image as EXIF data.
Requiring no additional batteries, the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 fits neatly onto the side of the EOS-1D Mark III and offers the same degree of weather resistance as the camera body.
Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 – New encryption feature
The Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 supports advanced image encryption when used with the EOS-1D Mark III, answering a need in the market for a secure way to transmit electronic images. The system works by writing captured images to a standard CF memory card, while the SD card slot contains the Original Data Security card (supplied with the kit) which acts as the encryption key. Encrypted images can be decrypted only by a computer with the same encryption key, allowing photographers to send images over public networks – such as wireless LANs or the internet – with the assurance that only the intended recipient can view them.
The Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 is capable of detecting the slightest (single bit) discrepancy in image data. For images shot with the EOS-1D Mark III and a GPS-connected Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2, it can also be used to verify that GPS data recorded at the time of capture has not been altered – an increasingly important consideration for news publications.

During World War II the German Army used the SZ40 for high-level communications. It provided on-line encryption and decryption of messages and was capable of handling large volumes of traffic at high speed.
Built by the German firm Lorenz, the SZ40 depended on wheels for its encryption/decryption. It encrypted elements of the electrically generated “Baudot Code” used in normal telegraphic transmissions (e.g., teletype). By adding the numeric representations of two letters together, a third letter was created. The wheels generated the key. Although highly complex, the use of wheels meant the key was not random.

An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptography—especially prior to the digital age—have a physical order or pattern.

If looking for the best hard drive encryption software for Windows, Microsoft BitLocker is the ideal choice. It is a full-volume encryption tool that uses the AES encryption algorithm to ensure complete data protection. However, managing BitLocker's implementation is itself challenging, which can be simplified with the centralized cloud-based tool-BitTruster.
I've been thinking about creating little puzzles and distributing them on Flickr. This one isn't very complex (or beautiful), but it's a start. Please don't post spoilers or hints.

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.

1H76GsGpfkyg2PtwnsZnTYgED3NinWgsG6
You may be asking yourself, "what are bitcoins?"
My bitcoin address:
1H76GsGpfkyg2PtwnsZnTYgED3NinWgsG6
Bitcoins are a new kind of electronic money. You can trade money for them, use them to pay for things, and trade them for money. This is one technology, that in the late 90's many people speculated about, but which had not manifested until recent years.
I am studying computer programming, but I'm only the barest beginner, so I'm not qualified to explain every detail about how bitcoin works. But I've been aware of it for some time, at least several months, and I've had some time to watch it go from being unknown, to being relatively valuable against the US Dollar, and accepted as a form of payment worldwide.
Bitcoin is described as a crypto-currency, but as far as I can see, encryption is not really the main reason why it works and is secure. The real strength of bitcoin is its distributed ledger. While most electronic funds rely on a central, highly trusted institution to keep a ledger of transactions, like a bank, to ensure that people don't spend the same dollar twice, for instance, bitcoin instead relies on a peer-to-peer network to verify transactions, and keeps a ledger distributed across the network. This means that if someone tries to spend a bitcoin twice, the second transaction will not be recognized by the network. This system is secure enough that it enables people holding bitcoins to make a backup file of them, so that if their computer went down they would not lose their money. This backup can even be kept on permanent portable media, like a flash drive or cdROM. Ledgend has it the identifiers for your bitcoins can even be printed out on paper, and buried in the backyard in an old shoebox. I haven't been using bitcoins long enough to know if that is true or not, so if some folks will send me some, I plan to try it out.
There are two other keys to the value of bitcoins, that the amount of them is capped at 21 million. Therefore they remain scarce. Unlike the US Dollar, which can be created at will as electronic bank entries, they will not become worthless, through over-production.
However, note this well, so that you don't appear foolish in arguments on your favorite web forums: Even though the quantity of bitcoins is fixed, bitcoins are divisible into extremely small fractions. This means that the quantity of bitcoins in existence, and the value of each "bitcoin unit" is irrelevant to their ability to function as a medium of exchange. If one bitcoin were worth 1 cent, or if it were worth a million dollars, you would still be able to use them both to buy a house in a lump sum, and also buy a cup of coffee.
One caveat about bitcoins, followed by an observation of why it is of limited relevance: To date, the price of bitcoins has either been very low per unit, or has swung wildly between $40 per Bitcoin up to $266. per Bitcoin. The lesson here is that we should be cautious about considering bitcoins to be a stable store of value, which is one of the functions we are used to thinking of as necessary for our money. However, note that with a little creative pricing and wary understanding of common risks in the market, this need not prevent bitcoin from serving the other major function of a currency; its role as a medium of exchange.
Since bitcoins are no more intrinsically valuable than any other monetary unit, the only way they have value is if people want them. (And I DO!) So, in that sense nothing is backing them but people's desire to have them, either to keep or to use. The same is true of Gold, Seashells or Dollars. The price of any commodity, even those commodities we decide to use for money, always tends to fluctuate relative to other commodities. In your RPG you may be able to exchange silver for gold at a fixed rate. You may exchange Euros for Dollars at a fixed rate during your vacation abroad, but if you look at the finance pages you'll notice that the exchange rate is always changing. Slightly if you're lucky, perhaps in your favor. But which is more true? That the dollar is falling or rising? Or that the Euro is falling or rising? Is Gold falling or rising, or is it the dollar? Did the price of gas go up at the local station, or did the Dollar go down relative to the world economy? I think it is accurate to say that most of the time it is at least a little bit of both, or all of these. And so it is with bitcoin.
But so long as people are willing to trade you bitcoin for dollars or vice versa, you can use bitcoin to facilitate transactions without having to hold onto it as a store of value. You could see an item for sale on the internet, its price is listed in dollars, but bitcoin is given as the preferred method of payment. You convert your money to bitcoin, at whatever the current rate is, pay in bitcoin, and perhaps the person on the other end does the reverse, converting bitcoin to their local currency, and neither of you take any losses (or gains!) due to the fluctuating price of bitcoin. Someone out there, however, will be willing to risk those losses or gains, just as there are with any commodity or currency in the world. They are sometimes willing to hold payments in escrow, ensuring both parties to a transaction are pleased with the bargain.
In these ways it is possible to separate the unit of account (store of value) function of a currency from its function as a medium of exchange.
Bitcoin is valuable because it is useful. It is useful for some of the same reasons that email is useful, or web publishing is useful. Because it helps things move more quickly, with less friction, at a lower cost, and makes things that in the past only a few people could do, something that many people can do.
Its adoption is being fueled by the fact that it is the native currency of the internet. And like the internet it flows wherever information flows. It crosses borders frictionlessly. It helps people build small things, and it helps small things become big things.
At last we have a realization of a mechanism that allows those long dreamed-of micropayments, because bitcoin is extremely divisible, and because transaction fees in it are extremely low, or sometimes absent. Merchants who are used to credit card processing fees are quickly taking notice of the gains that can be made by switching to a payment method without fees. Not to mention that it is a payment method without reverses or charge-backs.
This is the currency you can send someone in an e-mail, or pay in person using a smartphone.
One other benefit of bitcoin is that it enables anonymous transactions. The astute reader will realize from my earlier description of the strengths of bitcoin's workings that all bitcoin transactions leave a trail that is retained in the distributed network, so great caution should be used before one assumes that their transactions are safely anonymous. However, with the ease of creating bitcoin addresses, the fact that they need not be associated with any identifying information, not even email, that they could potentially be purchased from any Joe with bitcoins that you meet by chance at the park, psudonymity is a very real, very strong possibility.
So I hope that I've piqued your curiosity, and that you will try Bitcoins. And if you want to give me some, that's cool too. My newly created bitcoin address:
1H76GsGpfkyg2PtwnsZnTYgED3NinWgsG6
And if you would rather exchange value for value, give me bitcoins only if I give you something, well, I am a pretty good logo designer, I know lots about 3D animation, can sculpt in ZBrush and import meshes and textures into SecondLife. I can create custom seamless textures, I'm a decent photographer, and enjoy portrait work, and sports photography, and would love to do weddings. I'm also learning Java, and have a slew of other interests.

Base of the totem pole...
The Artists Tales
The 1% for Art in Public Projects brought 5 amazing voices to the design of Thunder Mountain High School. The City of Juneau’s staff architect Sarah Lewis, had the foresight to include the selected artists within the design process, such that they begin the creation of their installations as integral parts to the built form of the school. It was one of the purely collaborative aspects of the design process, one I thoroughly enjoyed…the artists inspired the building as the building inspired the artists.
The evolution of the design sifted and flowed to the point that each artist found a swale, an eddy along the flow of the building. Four chose to weave their pieces together, while one chose to highlight the entrance to each “house” within the classroom wings.
Michael Anderson, an extraordinary ceramic artist from Cordova, picked up the thread of the Mendenhall River in the exterior walkway and installed “sand bars” of tile filled with tracks, feathers, runes, sticks, leaves, and remnants of the mysterious world along the edge of rivers. His tile work flows into the Commons through the main entry and eddys at the base of the totem, transforming from the realism of bears, salmon, herons, frogs, otters, and ravens into totemic representations of these powerful spirits. It is work that resonates with the soul of our land…
The tile spirals and circles as it feeds “Our Children's House”, or Haa Dachxana'i Yan Kahidi, a totem by master carver Wayne Price. Wayne designed the totem specifically for Thunder Mountain High School. At the base of the totem is “the Auntie” giving rooted confidence to the children to learn and explore the heights of knowledge and enlightenment, climbing to faces that were modeled upon real students at TMHS. At the top of the pole is the cycle of life started from the Mendenhall Glacier and River. Poised to strike is the school mascot, the Falcon. A falcon is not part of Tlingit lore, so Wayne’s work was complicated by the search for an acceptable model, one that would be embraced by the elders. Further challenging Wayne’s work was his decision and inspiration to modernise the totemic work, inspired by the building and his fellow artists…it was a truly admirable endeavour. The pole was raised and dedicated in an amazing community ceremony, binding past, present, and future…
Embracing Haa Dachxana'i Yan Kahidi with the beautiful gentleness of a wing is Impetus, by visionary artist Sheila Wyne from Anchorage. Her glass piece installed along the curving wall of the upper Commons and drawing to the natural light of the clerestory the way a raven's wings catch an updraft. She saw that the changing light of the yearly cycle of sunlight would infuse her work with a dialogue that built upon the “Matter of Time” of the building cycle, a dialogue that sometimes whispers with gloaming and sometimes roars with the joy of brilliant light. It flows along it’s path like leaves in the wind, like feathers being ruffled, like wind rustling the surface of the water, like light gleaming off schools of salmon returning…it is all of these and it is voices that cascade from the children…
All of this cascades back to the roots of our inspiration: the minds of the children. Encouraged to challenge their minds, the students have been given a gorgeous puzzle: the Encryption Panel by Dan Deroux. Dan has an imagination that transcends the simple borders of a frame, a painter and sculptor of significance and astute humour, he devised an encrypted quotation and then crafted 12x12 tiles with an image that represents each letter of the famous quotation. He placed the panel within one of the porcelain tile monoliths that weaves throughout the Commons, bringing the cycle of the artists back upon itself. Rumour has it that the CIA will offer the student who breaks the code a scholarship…the only clue he gave me was “green”. Dan was recently selected as Alaska's artist of the year!
The last artist, and sadly I don’t have any quality images of her work, is Barbara Craver. Barbara chose to highlight the entrance to each “house” with a collage of paintings of past and present students, enriching the “Hub” area where there are counters for students laptops. The work is joyful and inclusive...

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.
I was asked to shoot a couple of photos of Vera. We connected really well and it turned into a two hour photo-shoot in which we had great fun driving around the hackerspace and Buitenplaats Koningsweg compound looking for shooting locations during golden hour.
Looking to the NE from near the crest.
The reason these old images are in my stream is due to the fact I fixed a 2 terabyte hard that had all this stuff on it.
I will not buy anything made by Western Digital ever again.
The kids knocked the hard drive off the desk and the USB connector broke.
There ain't no way to put that tiny thing back on there without some very intricate soldering under a microscope. I took the case off and realized it's just a SATA drive with some added hardware. I took the hardware off and plugged it into my desktop.
No data detected! Uh oh, this hard drive had stuff I could not afford to lose.
It turns out that the hardware I took off is some kind of encryption device that I did not know about or want on my computer. The USB power goes through it before the hard drive will run. When I called Western Digital tech support and told them my situation they told me to go to their "business partner" who would retrieve my data for 450 bucks.
That's the kind of mind-set I have a problem with.
Oh yeah, when I hooked it up without that hardware it overwrote the Master Boot Record on the drive and now I am really screwed. I went online and eventually figured out how to fix all this but it was a real pain in the ass.
They lost me as a customer for good and I had three of these external drives.
I will make sure that my hard drives are made by someone else.

THE CRYPTO ANARCHIST MANIFESTO
by
Timothy C. May
(tcmay@netcom.com)
A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.
Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.
The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies.
The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be traded freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy.
Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property.
Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!
