Military Veterans Join the 99% on Wall Street
‘Veterans of the 99%’ hope to draw attention to the ways veterans have been impacted by the economic and social issues raised by Occupy Wall Street. They hope to help make veterans’ and service members’ participation in this movement more visible and deliberate.
On Wednesday morning starting at 11:00am, members of the New York City Chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War and other veterans will come together at Wall Street with other Veterans of the 99%. They will march in uniform from Vietnam Veterans Plaza to Liberty Square (Zuccotti Park)—the heart of the Occupy Wall Street movement—and hold a press conference to discuss reasons why a growing number of veterans are supporting the 99% movement. They will tell their stories and talk about issues that are important to them as veterans, within the larger economic and democratic crises. These issues include the challenges of veterans re-entering civilian life after war and trauma and during economic recession, and looming cuts to veterans’ health care and VA services. They will talk about their outrage at the treatment of Marine veteran Scott Olsen last week in Oakland. And they will call on other veterans and service members to join the Veterans of the 99%.
Veterans who would like to participate should contact veteransofthe99@gmail.com

Et si les hackers étaient les plus ouverts d’esprit ?
On a tendance à penser que les techos, libristes et autres hackers que l’on met tous ensemble dans un même sac pour en faire une espèce de salade, sont des gens fermés, voire renfermés. Pourtant, la plupart sont ouverts d’esprit et tolérants. Bien plus que les gens dits « normaux » même si ce terme est tellement galvaudé qu’il n’a plus aucun sens.Un exemple ? Si pour X ou Y raisons, quelqu’un disparaît du paysage et réapparaît presque aussi soudainement, peu vont être les techos qui vont insister lourdement avec des questions intrusives. Au contraire, la plupart respectent le silence, ils respectent cette volonté de ne pas dire, de ne pas dévoiler, et attendent le moment qui sera le plus opportun pour chacun des interlocuteurs.
Research problems: Ten ways to discover Tor bridges
While we're exploring smarter ways of getting more bridge addresses, and while the bridge arms race hasn't heated up yet in most countries (or has surpassed the number of bridges we have, in the case of China), it's the perfect time to take stock of bridge address enumeration attacks and how well we can defend against them.
For background, bridge relays (aka bridges) are Tor relays that aren't listed in the main Tor directory. So even if an attacker blocks all the public relays, they still need to block all these "private" or "dark" relays too.
Here are ten classes of attacks to discover bridges, examples of them we've seen or worry about in practice, and some ideas for how to resolve or mitigate each issue. If you're looking for a research project, please grab one and start investigating!
