+ <description><p>A little more than a month ago I wrote
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Simpler_recipe_on_how_to_make_a_simple__7_IMSI_Catcher_using_Debian.html">how
+to observe the SIM card ID (aka IMSI number) of mobile phones talking
+to nearby mobile phone base stations using Debian GNU/Linux and a
+cheap USB software defined radio</a>, and thus being able to pinpoint
+the location of people and equipment (like cars and trains) with an
+accuracy of a few kilometer. Since then we have worked to make the
+procedure even simpler, and it is now possible to do this without any
+manual frequency tuning and without building your own packages.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gr-gsm">gr-gsm</a>
+package is now included in Debian testing and unstable, and the
+IMSI-catcher code no longer require root access to fetch and decode
+the GSM data collected using gr-gsm.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an updated recipe, using packages built by Debian and a git
+clone of two python scripts:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Start with a Debian machine running the Buster version (aka
+ testing).</li>
+
+<li>Run '<tt>apt install gr-gsm python-numpy python-scipy
+ python-scapy</tt>' as root to install required packages.</li>
+
+<li>Fetch the code decoding GSM packages using '<tt>git clone
+ github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher.git</tt>'.</li>
+
+<li>Insert USB software defined radio supported by GNU Radio.</li>
+
+<li>Enter the IMSI-catcher directory and run '<tt>python
+ scan-and-livemon</tt>' to locate the frequency of nearby base
+ stations and start listening for GSM packages on one of them.</li>
+
+<li>Enter the IMSI-catcher directory and run '<tt>python
+ simple_IMSI-catcher.py</tt>' to display the collected information.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>Note, due to a bug somewhere the scan-and-livemon program (actually
+<a href="https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/issues/336">its underlying
+program grgsm_scanner</a>) do not work with the HackRF radio. It do
+work with RTL 8232 and other similar USB radio receivers you can get
+very cheaply
+(<a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=rtl+2832">for example
+from ebay</a>), so for now the solution is to scan using the RTL radio
+and only use HackRF for fetching GSM data.</p>
+
+<p>As far as I can tell, a cell phone only show up on one of the
+frequencies at the time, so if you are going to track and count every
+cell phone around you, you need to listen to all the frequencies used.
+To listen to several frequencies, use the --numrecv argument to
+scan-and-livemon to use several receivers. Further, I am not sure if
+phones using 3G or 4G will show as talking GSM to base stations, so
+this approach might not see all phones around you. I typically see
+0-400 IMSI numbers an hour when looking around where I live.</p>
+
+<p>I've tried to run the scanner on a
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi">Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
+running Debian Buster</a>, but the grgsm_livemon_headless process seem
+to be too CPU intensive to keep up. When GNU Radio print 'O' to
+stdout, I am told there it is caused by a buffer overflow between the
+radio and GNU Radio, caused by the program being unable to read the
+GSM data fast enough. If you see a stream of 'O's from the terminal
+where you started scan-and-livemon, you need a give the process more
+CPU power. Perhaps someone are able to optimize the code to a point
+where it become possible to set up RPi3 based GSM sniffers? I tried
+using Raspbian instead of Debian, but there seem to be something wrong
+with GNU Radio on raspbian, causing glibc to abort().</p>

+ <description><p>For noen dager siden publiserte Jon Wessel-Aas en bloggpost om
+«<a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1821">Konklusjonen om datalagring som
+EU-kommisjonen ikke ville at vi skulle få se</a>». Det er en
+interessant gjennomgang av EU-domstolens syn på snurpenotovervåkning
+av befolkningen, som er klar på at det er i strid med
+EU-lovgivingen.</p>
+
+<p>Valgkampen går for fullt i Norge, og om noen få dager er siste
+frist for å avgi stemme. En ting er sikkert, Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet
+får ikke min stemme
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html">denne
+gangen heller</a>. Jeg har ikke glemt at de tvang igjennom loven som
+skulle pålegge alle data- og teletjenesteleverandører å overvåke alle
+sine kunder. En lov som er vedtatt, og aldri opphevet igjen.</p>
+
+<p>Det er tydelig fra diskusjonen rundt grenseløs digital overvåkning
+(eller "Digital Grenseforsvar" som det kalles i Orvellisk nytale) at
+hverken Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet har noen prinsipielle sperrer mot å
+overvåke hele befolkningen, og diskusjonen så langt tyder på at flere
+av de andre partiene heller ikke har det. Mange av
+<a href="https://data.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e">de som stemte
+for Datalagringsdirektivet i Stortinget</a> (64 fra Arbeiderpartiet,
+25 fra Høyre) er fortsatt aktive og argumenterer fortsatt for å radere
+vekk mer av innbyggernes privatsfære.</p>
+
+<p>Når myndighetene demonstrerer sin mistillit til folket, tror jeg
+folket selv bør legge litt innsats i å verne sitt privatliv, ved å ta
+i bruk ende-til-ende-kryptert kommunikasjon med sine kjente og kjære,
+og begrense hvor mye privat informasjon som deles med uvedkommende.
+Det er jo ingenting som tyder på at myndighetene kommer til å være vår
+privatsfære.
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_talk_with_your_loved_ones_in_private.html">Det

+<a href="https://ring.cx/">Ring</a>, som er basert på p2p-teknologi
+uten sentral kontroll, er fri programvare, og støtter meldinger, tale
+og video. Systemet er tilgjengelig ut av boksen fra
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring">Debian</a> og
+<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ring">Ubuntu</a>, og det

+ <pubDate>Wed, 9 Aug 2017 23:59:00 +0200</pubDate>
+ <description><p>On friday, I came across an interesting article in the Norwegian
+web based ICT news magazine digi.no on
+<a href="https://www.digi.no/artikler/sikkerhetsforsker-lagde-enkel-imsi-catcher-for-60-kroner-na-kan-mobiler-kartlegges-av-alle/398588">how
+to collect the IMSI numbers of nearby cell phones</a> using the cheap
+DVB-T software defined radios. The article refered to instructions
+and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwgNd_as30">a recipe by
+Keld Norman on Youtube on how to make a simple $7 IMSI Catcher</a>, and I decided to test them out.</p>
+
+<p>The instructions said to use Ubuntu, install pip using apt (to
+bypass apt), use pip to install pybombs (to bypass both apt and pip),
+and the ask pybombs to fetch and build everything you need from
+scratch. I wanted to see if I could do the same on the most recent
+Debian packages, but this did not work because pybombs tried to build
+stuff that no longer build with the most recent openssl library or
+some other version skew problem. While trying to get this recipe
+working, I learned that the apt->pip->pybombs route was a long detour,
+and the only piece of software dependency missing in Debian was the
+gr-gsm package. I also found out that the lead upstream developer of
+gr-gsm (the name stand for GNU Radio GSM) project already had a set of
+Debian packages provided in an Ubuntu PPA repository. All I needed to
+do was to dget the Debian source package and built it.</p>
+
+<p>The IMSI collector is a python script listening for packages on the
+loopback network device and printing to the terminal some specific GSM
+packages with IMSI numbers in them. The code is fairly short and easy
+to understand. The reason this work is because gr-gsm include a tool
+to read GSM data from a software defined radio like a DVB-T USB stick
+and other software defined radios, decode them and inject them into a
+network device on your Linux machine (using the loopback device by
+default). This proved to work just fine, and I've been testing the
+collector for a few days now.</p>
+
+<p>The updated and simpler recipe is thus to</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>start with a Debian machine running Stretch or newer,</li>
+
+<li>build and install the gr-gsm package available from
+<a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gr-gsm/">http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gr-gsm/</a>,</li>
+
+<li>clone the git repostory from <a href="https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher">https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher</a>,</li>
+
+<li>run grgsm_livemon and adjust the frequency until the terminal
+where it was started is filled with a stream of text (meaning you
+found a GSM station).</li>
+
+<li>go into the IMSI-catcher directory and run 'sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py' to extract the IMSI numbers.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>To make it even easier in the future to get this sniffer up and
+running, I decided to package
+<a href="https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/">the gr-gsm project</a>
+for Debian (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/871055">WNPP
+#871055</a>), and the package was uploaded into the NEW queue today.
+Luckily the gnuradio maintainer has promised to help me, as I do not
+know much about gnuradio stuff yet.</p>
+
+<p>I doubt this "IMSI cacher" is anywhere near as powerfull as
+commercial tools like
+<a href="https://www.thespyphone.com/portable-imsi-imei-catcher/">The
+Spy Phone Portable IMSI / IMEI Catcher</a> or the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker">Harris
+Stingray</a>, but I hope the existance of cheap alternatives can make
+more people realise how their whereabouts when carrying a cell phone
+is easily tracked. Seeing the data flow on the screen, realizing that
+I live close to a police station and knowing that the police is also
+wearing cell phones, I wonder how hard it would be for criminals to
+track the position of the police officers to discover when there are
+police near by, or for foreign military forces to track the location
+of the Norwegian military forces, or for anyone to track the location
+of government officials...</p>
+
+<p>It is worth noting that the data reported by the IMSI-catcher
+script mentioned above is only a fraction of the data broadcasted on
+the GSM network. It will only collect one frequency at the time,
+while a typical phone will be using several frequencies, and not all
+phones will be using the frequencies tracked by the grgsm_livemod
+program. Also, there is a lot of radio chatter being ignored by the
+simple_IMSI-catcher script, which would be collected by extending the
+parser code. I wonder if gr-gsm can be set up to listen to more than
+one frequency?</p>

+ <description><p>Jeg kom over teksten
+«<a href="https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/06/21/killing-car-privacy-by-federal-mandate/">Killing
+car privacy by federal mandate</a>» av Leonid Reyzin på Freedom to
+Tinker i dag, og det gleder meg å se en god gjennomgang om hvorfor det
+er et urimelig inngrep i privatsfæren å la alle biler kringkaste sin
+posisjon og bevegelse via radio. Det omtalte forslaget basert på
+Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) kalles Basic Safety Message
+(BSM) i USA og Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) i Europa, og det
+norske Vegvesenet er en av de som ser ut til å kunne tenke seg å
+pålegge alle biler å fjerne nok en bit av innbyggernes privatsfære.
+Anbefaler alle å lese det som står der.
+
+<p>Mens jeg tittet litt på DSRC på biler i Norge kom jeg over et sitat
+jeg synes er illustrativt for hvordan det offentlige Norge håndterer
+problemstillinger rundt innbyggernes privatsfære i SINTEF-rapporten
+«<a href="https://www.sintef.no/publikasjoner/publikasjon/Download/?pubid=SINTEF+A23933">Informasjonssikkerhet
+i AutoPASS-brikker</a>» av Trond Foss:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«Rapporten ser ikke på informasjonssikkerhet knyttet til personlig
+ integritet.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Så enkelt kan det tydeligvis gjøres når en vurderer
+informasjonssikkerheten. Det holder vel at folkene på toppen kan si
+at «Personvernet er ivaretatt», som jo er den populære intetsigende
+frasen som gjør at mange tror enkeltindividers integritet tas vare på.
+Sitatet fikk meg til å undres på hvor ofte samme tilnærming, å bare se
+bort fra behovet for personlig itegritet, blir valgt når en velger å
+legge til rette for nok et inngrep i privatsfæren til personer i
+Norge. Det er jo sjelden det får reaksjoner. Historien om
+reaksjonene på Helse Sør-Østs tjenesteutsetting er jo sørgelig nok et
+unntak og toppen av isfjellet, desverre. Tror jeg fortsatt takker nei
+til både AutoPASS og holder meg så langt unna det norske helsevesenet
+som jeg kan, inntil de har demonstrert og dokumentert at de verdsetter
+individets privatsfære og personlige integritet høyere enn kortsiktig
+gevist og samfunnsnytte.</p>

+ <title>Idea for storing trusted timestamps in a Noark 5 archive</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Idea_for_storing_trusted_timestamps_in_a_Noark_5_archive.html</link>
+ <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Idea_for_storing_trusted_timestamps_in_a_Noark_5_archive.html</guid>
+ <pubDate>Wed, 7 Jun 2017 21:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+ <description><p><em>This is a copy of
+<a href="https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2017-June/000297.html">an
+email I posted to the nikita-noark mailing list</a>. Please follow up
+there if you would like to discuss this topic. The background is that
+we are making a free software archive system based on the Norwegian
+<a href="https://www.arkivverket.no/forvaltning-og-utvikling/regelverk-og-standarder/noark-standarden">Noark
+5 standard</a> for government archives.</em></p>
+
+<p>I've been wondering a bit lately how trusted timestamps could be
+stored in Noark 5.
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping">Trusted
+timestamps</a> can be used to verify that some information
+(document/file/checksum/metadata) have not been changed since a
+specific time in the past. This is useful to verify the integrity of
+the documents in the archive.</p>
+
+<p>Then it occured to me, perhaps the trusted timestamps could be
+stored as dokument variants (ie dokumentobjekt referered to from
+dokumentbeskrivelse) with the filename set to the hash it is
+stamping?</p>
+
+<p>Given a "dokumentbeskrivelse" with an associated "dokumentobjekt",
+a new dokumentobjekt is associated with "dokumentbeskrivelse" with the
+same attributes as the stamped dokumentobjekt except these
+attributes:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>format -> "RFC3161"
+<li>mimeType -> "application/timestamp-reply"
+<li>formatDetaljer -> "&lt;source URL for timestamp service&gt;"
+<li>filenavn -> "&lt;sjekksum&gt;.tsr"
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>This assume a service following
+<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3161">IETF RFC 3161</a> is
+used, which specifiy the given MIME type for replies and the .tsr file
+ending for the content of such trusted timestamp. As far as I can
+tell from the Noark 5 specifications, it is OK to have several
+variants/renderings of a dokument attached to a given
+dokumentbeskrivelse objekt. It might be stretching it a bit to make
+some of these variants represent crypto-signatures useful for
+verifying the document integrity instead of representing the dokument
+itself.</p>
+
+<p>Using the source of the service in formatDetaljer allow several
+timestamping services to be used. This is useful to spread the risk
+of key compromise over several organisations. It would only be a
+problem to trust the timestamps if all of the organisations are
+compromised.</p>
+
+<p>The following oneliner on Linux can be used to generate the tsr
+file. $input is the path to the file to checksum, and $sha256 is the
+SHA-256 checksum of the file (ie the "<sjekksum>.tsr" value mentioned
+above).</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+openssl ts -query -data "$inputfile" -cert -sha256 -no_nonce \
+ | curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/timestamp-query" \
+ --data-binary "@-" http://zeitstempel.dfn.de > $sha256.tsr
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>To verify the timestamp, you first need to download the public key
+of the trusted timestamp service, for example using this command:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+wget -O ca-cert.txt \
+ https://pki.pca.dfn.de/global-services-ca/pub/cacert/chain.txt
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Note, the public key should be stored alongside the timestamps in
+the archive to make sure it is also available 100 years from now. It
+is probably a good idea to standardise how and were to store such
+public keys, to make it easier to find for those trying to verify
+documents 100 or 1000 years from now. :)</p>
+
+<p>The verification itself is a simple openssl command:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+openssl ts -verify -data $inputfile -in $sha256.tsr \
+ -CAfile ca-cert.txt -text
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Is there any reason this approach would not work? Is it somehow against
+the Noark 5 specification?</p>

+ <description><p><a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/norge/Krever-at-elever-ma-fa-annullert-eksamen-etter-rot-med-oppgavetekster-622459b.html">Aftenposten
+melder i dag</a> om feil i eksamensoppgavene for eksamen i politikk og
+menneskerettigheter, der teksten i bokmåls og nynorskutgaven ikke var
+like. Oppgaveteksten er gjengitt i artikkelen, og jeg ble nysgjerring
+på om den fri oversetterløsningen
+<a href="https://www.apertium.org/">Apertium</a> ville gjort en bedre
+jobb enn Utdanningsdirektoratet. Det kan se slik ut.</p>
+
+<p>Her er bokmålsoppgaven fra eksamenen:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>Drøft utfordringene knyttet til nasjonalstatenes og andre aktørers
+rolle og muligheter til å håndtere internasjonale utfordringer, som
+for eksempel flykningekrisen.</p>
+
+<p>Vedlegge er eksempler på tekster som kan gi relevante perspektiver
+på temaet:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Flykningeregnskapet 2016, UNHCR og IDMC
+<li>«Grenseløst Europa for fall» A-Magasinet, 26. november 2015
+</ol>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Dette oversetter Apertium slik:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>Drøft utfordringane knytte til nasjonalstatane sine og rolla til
+andre aktørar og høve til å handtera internasjonale utfordringar, som
+til dømes *flykningekrisen.</p>
+
+<p>Vedleggja er døme på tekster som kan gje relevante perspektiv på
+temaet:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>*Flykningeregnskapet 2016, *UNHCR og *IDMC</li>
+<li>«*Grenseløst Europa for fall» A-Magasinet, 26. november 2015</li>
+</ol>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Ord som ikke ble forstått er markert med stjerne (*), og trenger
+ekstra språksjekk. Men ingen ord er forsvunnet, slik det var i
+oppgaven elevene fikk presentert på eksamen. Jeg mistenker dog at
+"andre aktørers rolle og muligheter til ..." burde vært oversatt til
+"rolla til andre aktørar og deira høve til ..." eller noe slikt, men
+det er kanskje flisespikking. Det understreker vel bare at det alltid
+trengs korrekturlesning etter automatisk oversettelse.</p>
