The depressing part for me is that I&#x27;ve started to consider what I search for on a daily basis and how that might look...essentially they are starting to make me paranoid.<p>Over the last few months I&#x27;ve googled<p>Numerous Weapon Systems (I have a fascination with WW1, WWII and Cold War history - stuff like Black Arrow etc).<p>Insurgencies during the British Empire<p>Electronics (want to get back into and saw a fun project to make on reddit the other day) - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=movVFYWheGM" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=movVFYWheGM</a><p>Linux stuff (settings, security, the usual stuff a developer&#x2F;system administrator would look at).<p>Programming stuff (relating to security, encryption etc)<p>NSA related material (following the story closely).<p>Setting up a VPN (so I can access Netflix US because Netflix UK is basically crap).<p>The US constitution and some case law.<p>NSA Report: &quot;User noir_lord has an interest in privacy, weapons, insurgencies and excellent technical skills, user noir_lord should be monitored&quot;<p>Where in reality I&#x27;m a 34 year old web developer from the North of England who enjoys history, techy stuff and playing with my cats.

Another repeat of <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7983124" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7983124</a><p>And to repeat: the config file available from <a href="http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/xkeyscorerules100.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;daserste.ndr.de&#x2F;panorama&#x2F;xkeyscorerules100.txt</a> says:<p><pre><code> &#x2F;* These variables define terms and websites relating to the TAILs (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) software program, a comsec mechanism advocated by extremists on extremist forums. *&#x2F; </code></pre> Linux Journal is listed there, as a ‘website relating to TAILS’, not as an ‘extremist forum’.

&quot;the agency is targeting anyone who is interested in online privacy&quot; - not so surprising, is it. I wonder what other similar criteria there are for being considered an &quot;extremist&quot;? No Facebook or other social networking accounts? Uses Linux? Makes certain types of comments online that support privacy (like this one)? ... It&#x27;s really unsettling.<p>On the other hand, now that this is out, I think the NSA will suddenly have a ton more &quot;extremists&quot; to look at.

What I am really keen to know is whether revelations like these have any impact on the &quot;would love to work for the NSA fanboy&quot;. Do they continue to be just as keen and rationalize these things away, or does it make them ponder a bit.<p>Things have indeed been getting scarier by the minute. Interest in Linux is not treason, yet, but I cannot&#x2F;dont rule out that it could be, for some value of &#x27;Linux&#x27;.<p>Several trends in political&#x2F;informatic&#x2F;economic structures does seem to be headed towards the medieval side.

Oh shit. I had two articles published in it last year. What does that make me?!<p>On a LUG mailing list I belong to we started using the term &quot;command line extremist&quot;. I rather like it.

What about SELinux <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Security-Enhanced_Linux</a><p>&quot;The SELinux project was merged into the Linux Kernel back in 2003&quot;<p>It&#x27;s still listed on the NSA website in several areas: <a href="http://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/selinux/papers/x/x.shtml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nsa.gov&#x2F;research&#x2F;_files&#x2F;selinux&#x2F;papers&#x2F;x&#x2F;x.shtml</a><p>To be honest though, if someone was downloading tails from region of know terrorist activity and such systems are actively promoted amongst terrorist sites then it obviously makes for a good target. But the Linux Journal ..comon.

Nowhere in the evidence is there any indication that the NSA classifies Linux Journal as an extremist forum, or that it considers the readers extremists.

if I was the NSA I probably would target my own employees first as they have the most power to take me down

&gt; While there is no word about how the source code was obtained, security experts aren&#x27;t sure whether it was leaked by Snowden.<p>So we don&#x27;t really know if it&#x27;s genuine. (Though it doesn&#x27;t really matter because it&#x27;s not surprising at all.)

The NSA&#x27;s problem is that new threats are a form of innovation, but that it&#x27;s hard to predict innovation, and harder to target surveillance towards people planning a dangerous activity if nobody has seen that activity before. New ideas are a threat.<p>So perhaps their method is to define Normal, and then monitor everybody Abnormal, on the basis that dangerous innovation is more likely to come from the Abnormal.<p>Enthusiasm for Linux isn&#x27;t as abnormal as it used to be, but it definitely puts you in the &quot;dangerous 1%&quot;.

I didn&#x27;t realize that he had actually leaked any code: <a href="http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/xkeyscorerules100.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;daserste.ndr.de&#x2F;panorama&#x2F;xkeyscorerules100.txt</a><p>Is there a list of other code or rules files that were released?<p>Is this information legal to search for, store, or link to since it&#x27;s now public?

I guess the first issue of LJ I have on the bookshelf just doubled in value..

since their goal doesn&#x27;t appear to be to stop &quot;terrorists&quot;, is their goal to stop unwanted politicians?
