Spy School
Spying seems to have existed since humans could look across at their neighbors and wonder what they were up to. Here's your chance to find out about the shadowy world of what's been called the "second-oldest profession." But be careful, someone may be watching.

2,619 CIA Sources: The Crowley Files
Robert Trumbull Crowley died in a Washington DC hospital on October 8, 2000. He was a senior Central Intelligence Agency officer from 1948 until the mid-1980s. During his tenure with the CIA, Crowley became Assistant Deputy Director for Operations and the second-in-command of the clandestine Directorate of Operations. He wrote a book entitled The New KGB: Engine of Soviet Power that was published in 1985 by William Morrow. In 1996, prior to what Crowley felt might be a fatal major surgery for suspected lung cancer, he gave a number of historical documents from his extensive personal files to an American journalist with whom he had been working.

Electronic Evidence Gathering
The presentation: Electronic Evidence Gathering is designed to introduce the audiance to the discipline and detail exactly what can be discovered using various techniques and tools. The technical aspects, while important, do not constitute the entire presentation. Normal forensic investigative techniques must also be observed in order to produce usable results and therefore these will also be addressed in the context of the computing environment and in parallel with the tools and techniques.

Breaking the Windows Script Encoder
The Windows Script Encoder (screnc.exe) is a Microsoft tool that can be used to encode your scripts (i.e. JScript, ASP pages, VBScript). Yes: encode, not encrypt. The use of this tool is to be able to prevent people from looking at, or modifying, your scripts. Microsoft recommends using the Script Encoder to obfuscate your ASP pages, so in case your server is compromised the hacker would be unable to find out how your ASP applications work.

Comments on the Carnivore System Technical Review
Although the IITRI study appears to represent a good-faith effort at independent review, the limited nature of the analysis described in the draft report simply cannot support a conclusion that Carnivore is correct, safe, or always consistent with legal limitations. Those who are concerned that the system produces correct evidence, represents no threat to the networks on which it is installed, or complies with the scope of court orders should not take much comfort from the analysis described in the report or its conclusions.
