Don’t worry, NSA says—we only “touch” 1.6% of daily global Internet traffic
On the same day that President Barack Obama spoke to the press about possible surveillance reforms—and released a related white paper on the subject—the National Security Agency came out with its own rare, publicly-released, seven-page document (PDF), essentially justifying its own practices.
The entire document is dated August 9, 2013, and has no attributable names or contact details on it. Its most striking portion?

Building a panopticon: The evolution of the NSA’s XKeyscore
The National Security Agency's (NSA) apparatus for spying on what passes over the Internet, phone lines, and airways has long been the stuff of legend, with the public catching only brief glimpses into its Leviathan nature. Thanks to the documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, we now have a much bigger picture.

THC: Warum Kiffen hungrig macht
Kiffen macht antriebslos? Nicht beim Essen. Salamipizza mit extra Belag, Schokolade gleich tafelweise - nach dem Joint kommt häufig das Schlemmen. Dass Marihuana gegen Appetitlosigkeit wirkt, wussten Ärzte schon im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Ursache blieb jedoch lange ein Rätsel.
Es gab mal einen Studenten, der wurde in seinem Unistädtchen nur "der Typ mit der Hackpizza" genannt. Auch wer ihm niemals begegnet war, hatte von ihm gehört. Das Gericht hatte den Studenten berüchtigt gemacht, weil er nicht etwa einen Boden aus Teig mit Hack belegte, sondern einen Boden, der aus Hackfleisch bestand, mit allem, was der WG-Kühlschrank hergab. Der Student hatte oft großen Hunger.

Doku: The Kings of Cannabis
One afternoon this May, Arjan Roskam lounged on the deck of a 24-foot sport-fishing boat. He was speeding through a deep bay off the Caribbean coast of northwestern Colombia, keeping an eye on a line he’d cast a few minutes before. Arjan is 48 years old, well over six feet tall, and clean-shaven. He has the rough-hewn mien of a Dutchman, and possesses a piercing baritone that cuts through chatter like an oboe. He looks and sounds like a leader, one of those rare souls who was able to fulfill his destiny without compromising. He is the most recognizable and controversial figure in the business of marijuana, the self-styled and self-described “King of Cannabis.”

DEFCON: The Documentary
On August 1st in Las Vegas, the premiere of DEFCON: The Documentary took place on the first day of DEFCON 21. Audience attendance was about 1000. Mood was high. There was free beer and the sound system could explode a Volkswagen. My dad flew in from New York to attend. It was a good time.
DEFCON The Documentary PosterIf you weren’t aware, I’ve spent a lot of time across the last 18 months working on a documentary about the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas, which has been held for over 20 years. Started in 1992, this convention of hacking, making, security and tech has been a pretty big influence and story for a lot of people for a long time. I’ve been attending regularly since 1999 and many of my most known speeches have been given there.

NSA: 90% der Admins werden entlassen – für mehr Sicherheit
Wie Reuters gestern berichtete, hat Gen. Keith Alexander – seines Zeichens Direktor der NSA – auf einer Sicherheitskonferenz in New York gesagt, dass man vielen Systemadministratoren bei der NSA kündigen wird. Übergeordnetes Ziel sei es, durch Automatisierung mehr Sicherheit zu erlangen. Zur Zeit kümmern sich wohl rund 1000 Administratoren um Wartung und Ausbau des NSA-Netzwerkes. Um die Chance für zukünftige Leaks, wie die Edward Snowdens, zu minimieren, sollen 90% der Stellen gestrichen werden.

Risk Assessment / Security & Hacktivism “Hand of Thief” banking trojan doesn’t do Windows—but it does Linux
Signaling criminals' growing interest in attacking non-Windows computers, researchers have discovered banking fraud malware that targets people using the open-source Linux operating system.
Hand of Thief, which was recently discovered by researchers from security firm RSA, sells for about $2,000 in underground Internet forums and boasts its own support and sales agents. Its functionality—consisting of form grabbers and backdoor capabilities—is rudimentary compared to Windows banking trojans spawned from the Citadel or Blackhole exploit kits, but that's likely to change. RSA researcher Limor Kessem said she expects Hand of Thief to become a full-blown banking trojan that includes more advanced features such as the ability to inject attacker-controlled content into trusted bank webpages.

Marshall Fridge
I am quite sure that any musician worth his or her salt would have had heard of the brand name Marshall before, and most of the time, you would be familiar with it in music videos as well as commercials. The Marshall amp can be said to be a mainstay in the musical industry, but for those who have a great love for all things music, and yet want to decorate their home in a tasteful manner, there is the £399.00 Marshall Fridge which will be a surefire conversation starter, no two ways about it.

Eine stinkende Überraschung erlebten New Yorker, die am frühen Mittwochmorgen (Ortszeit) die U-Bahn von Coney Island nach Queens benutzten. In einem Wagen lag ein toter Hai, nach Augenzeugenberichten ungefähr einen Meter lang. Wie das Tier dort hinkam, sei ein Rätsel, berichteten mehrere US-TV-Sender.

Nicknames and Codewords
Below is a listing of nicknames and codewords related to US Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Communications Security (COMSEC). Most of them are from the NSA, some are from other government or military agencies. Due to secrecy, it's not always clear whether a word is a nickname or a codeword. Some of them also have an abbreviation which is shown in brackets.
Nicknames are generally unclassified. NSA uses single word nicknames, outside NSA they usually consist of two separate words, with the first word selected from alphabetical blocks that are assigned to different agencies by the Joint Staff. Usually, nicknames are printed using all capital letters.
