Topic: John Young (Cryptome)


  
  Cryptome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cryptome is a controversial website, hosted in the United States by John Young, that functions as a repository for information about freedom of speech, cryptography, and surveillance.
Cryptome welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide, in particular material on freedom of expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and classified documents -- but not limited to those.
Young reported being visited by two FBI agents from a counter-terrorism office and described having a casual discussion with the agents [4].

 The Cryptome Eyeballing Map Series - Map of the Month
Young has a clear political agenda in creating the eyeballing map montages, to show people the places that the powerful do not want the rest of the community to know about or think about.
Young has received no official comment or complaint about the nature of his mapping project thus far, but notes that eyeballing receives "quite an impressive number of downloads from official websites, in particular from the military".
Part of the wider of agenda of Young's Cryptome project is to try to expose the actual workings of these virtual systems of security and intelligence through publishing documentary evidence on their structures, internal policies, statistics, budget details and other banal, but revealing, administrative materials of the various organisations involved.

 Comments on 2236 | MetaFilter
John Young of cryptome discovered that the redacted text was not really gone -- by cancelling the PDF rendering at a certain point, the hidden names were revealed.
Young has since heard that other people also noticed the flawed redaction and has concluded that the information is therefore public.
Young sounds like he is basing his decision to publicize the names on the fact that other people are less ethical than him (i.e.: "If the flaw is known, then it's been exploited by someone.") Making this assumption about other people, he feels free to sink to their level.

 CIA Report on Mossadeq Overthrow
Cryptome discovered during reading the report that edited portions could be read by freezing the page during loading just before the digital overwrite occurred (this was possible on a slow computer but not a fast one).
Young also makes the mistake of concluding that, since some people know about the problem associated with PDF files (although he apparently stumbled across the problem rather than discovering it through any great skill or knowledge), there is no reason he shouldn't serve it all up to everybody on a silver platter.
Young's reasoned response would be welcomed -- is that disseminating the report with all names intact contributes absolutely nothing to answering the question of whether such operations should be undertaken under certain circumstance or never at all.

Cryptome is attacked several times a day, like many other sites, nearly always by rogue bots, or bots set by default to siphon everything, including deep links, until a new user learns to trim the wide mouth suck.

Freedom of speech activist John Young noticed this and notified the NY Times who then asked him not to reveal the names of the agents, out of fear that the agents' families might still face retribution in Iran.
Young says his intention was not to endanger the agents or their families but instead to help them by publicizing the fact that the leak is out.
