#92The border between what is "right" and what is "wrong" is very thin. What he did is illegal but it was right. I think people should be grateful to the ones that as he did, fight against what is legal but definitely wrong.

Where to find it though? I'm having a hard time finding it through legal or illegal means.
If you can deal with arabic subtitles on top of the english ones, it's at https://vimeo.com/150492784 and https://vimeo.com/150597736
Oh, man... I think I'd rather just Buy a dvd and play it with 3rd-party subtitles. Subtitle gore really bothers me.

>> "hundreds of G8 pacific protesters were brutalized and tortured by Italian police. Whilst the police has been found guilty of this, none of the policemen is serving any jail time." If police commit crimes, they must be held accountable.
Or America
Plenty of police in jail in America. They're just harder to convict. Easier to get them fired. Italy is exponentially worse than America on this issue.
And I say that as an activist against police corruption here who also lives in a murder capital. Police pulling shit that bad here is rare outside the "hoods" where it's thugs and low income people nobody cares about. Still usually just a ticket, thrown on a car, or a brief taser. The worst plant shit on people but they're very rare.

For those who don't know, they are referring to the 2001 Armando Diaz school attack [1] (warning: graphic), where hundreds of G8 pacific protesters were brutalized and tortured by Italian police.

Thanks for the link. Im shocked that I never saw this on US media. Idk if it was censored or I just missed it. This is so brutal it puts Abu Grhaib to shame esp given the targets. Makes me want to get a team together and take a plane to Italy to clean house.
Doubt it would help much at this point. Damage is done. Still pisses me off though.

He's likely to be identified as he gets more brazen. Even authoring this volume of text is risky, and there are other notes from the same author linked within. Spelling can be used to approximate region and phrases or errors such as "the hard of the business" ("heart of") and "passtime" ("pastime") are even stronger markers. Of course there's no way to tell if these are unintentional or planted errata. I'm grateful f…
The Unabomber was turned in by his brother and sister in law who recognized his writing.
Yep. There's even automated techniques for spotting it with decent accuracy.

So, it got some coverage but maybe not enough or not in what news I was reading. Still strange given magnitude of event and anti-fascist demographic here. Figured they'd do it gor ratings at tge least.

#100For anyone who doesn't follow infosec: This guy is responsible for two of the most impressive hacks recently and still hasn't been doxed or arrested. And so the linked doc is awesome if only for the opsec tips it provides. And it provides much more than that. It really gives you some perspective on how much work an attacker will put into breaking into your network and the kind of structured approach they're taking. P…
He's (or she ;) has skill although I can't say how special. What I'll give Fisher are two things:
1. Great choice of targets where the leaks are less questionable in terms of ethics.
2. A great write-up with references that could benefit attackers, defenders, and students alike.
