Some of the quotations here are actually rather profound observations about the Internet.<p>&gt; Remember those who use the Internet to do harm, to spread fear, and to carry out crimes are like the mythical Minotaur who, as well as being the monster of the Minoan maze, was also it&#x27;s prisoner.

Good lord, muckrock makes it sound like a 651-page treatise on Rule 34.<p>In all seriousness and still on the topic of rules, page 305 is the most useful one I&#x27;ve found so far in my brief skim (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;r9vw4gj.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;r9vw4gj.png</a>). I&#x27;m still flipping through it, but I might actually give this whole thing a read if only because it feels like I&#x27;ll learn something new about OSINT.

This document proves that the NSA hires not only mathematicians, but also English majors.

Page 22 mentions browser wars, and recommends setting up both IE and firefox. It mentions &#x27;new&#x27; features such as tabbed browsing (IE), non-html parsing (RSS feeds), alongside a slew of security improvements.<p>It would be interesting to see the 2015 section on this (especially considering the mobile v desktop feature divide).

I sometimes wonder if NSA &#x2F; CIA respond to FOIA requests with documents produced explicitly to answer them. Is there anything that would prevent NSA from giving out a &#x27;fake&#x27; document or field guide if the FOIA request was non-specific enough?

I&#x27;m curious why NSA&#x27;s AppLocker paper has been put behind a DoD membership site when it was previously public. It it part of the same movement that prompted the FBI to remove&#x2F;hide its public guidelines for using strong encryption?<p>Ironically, it even gives a certificate error now:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iad.gov&#x2F;iad&#x2F;library&#x2F;ia-guidance&#x2F;tech-briefs&#x2F;application-whitelisting-using-microsoft-applocker.cfm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iad.gov&#x2F;iad&#x2F;library&#x2F;ia-guidance&#x2F;tech-briefs&#x2F;appl...</a>

OT, but this article consistently crashes my phone&#x27;s browser before it&#x27;s done loading. Admittedly, it&#x27;s an older phone, but to take it out completely is rare... I wonder what the page is doing that it takes exception to?

speaking of internet memory... in case anyone was confused, this is from 2013 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;nsa-manual-on-hacking-internet&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;nsa-manual-on-hacking-internet...</a>

So the NSA is basically a bunch of scientologists. So I guess Tom Cruise&#x27;s Mission Impossible is IRL???

The NSA will not allow something to be unclassified that is valuable. The purpose of declassifying this document is likely connected to deception.
