Which ISPs Are Spying On You? 160

Posted by kdawson from the what-do-they-keep-and-how-long-do-they-keep-it dept.
firesquirt sends us an article from Wired about a survey they conducted to determine major ISPs' data retention and other privacy practices. Over a period of two months, four national ISPs would not give Wired the time of day; and another four answered some of their questions in a fashion not altogether reassuring.

      I don't know how true that is, but it's completely unenforcible.

      Anyone that uses the open part of my wireless freenet is not logged, and even if I did log, I could only keep about 50k of logfiles (the free space available on my router). If my ISP was spying on me, they may get all sorts of stuff coming through my router that is not being downloaded by me, and unless they find it on my machine (which they won't, since it's routed to a separate subnet), there's not much they can do about it.

Recent versions of it seem to perform that job fantastically and address most of Bruce's concerns (word list, timing, etc).

      Its time to encrypt EVERYTHING. ( at least until the government bans it )
      Sure they know where you went, but not what you viewed or 'said' while there.

      Back when I was operating a mailing list on a controversial topic on my home machine, I had a couple rules:
        - No postings soliciting or admitting to breaking laws.
        - No encrypted traffic (not just on the list: All traffic (except passwords) to-from the machine was in the clear).

      The thinking was like this:

        - Police, other government investigative agencies, and various unofficial snoops have a long track record of ignoring laws against various kinds of eavesdropping. So you have to assume that the line might be tapped.

        - If the police became interested they could always get a warrant and tap the line. (Or illegally tap the line without a warrant to see what's going on, then (if it looked interesting) get a warrant to tap it legally.)

        - If the data was encrypted they could STILL get it - by getting a warrant and seizing the computer (and everything else of interest in the house).

        - If the data was UNencrypted they would want to keep a low profile to avoid scaring off any "bad guys", would eventually see that there was nothing to go after, and thus would probably switch to hunting real bad guys elsewhere and go away WITHOUT breaking in and trashing stuff.

      "Encrypt everything" seems like a nice solution. But if only a few are doing it, just the fact that their traffic is encrypted makes them targets. It's easy to trump up enough stuff to get a warrant and go after the machine.

      Once a LOT of people are all swapping lots of encrypted traffic (as the default way of "sealing" the "envelope" on the datagrams) the fact of encryption will stop making the users targets. (The police can still get a warrant and grab the machines. But with so many potential machines to grab they'll have to find some other way to pick the ones to hit - like by bothering to dig up real "probable cause" from other evidence, like they're supposed to.)

      Fortunately we don't need to construct a "shelling point" for this: The internet is gradually moving toward pervasive encryption, as the legitimate need to encrypt for personal and corporate security becomes broadly understood. Once that becomes the norm our electronic "papers" will be about as secure as our physical ones. We're starting to get there. But IMHO we're not there yet.

      Unfortunately we WON'T be fully safe using encryption until the typical machine configurations are such that, if the machines are seized, it will be impossible to recover incriminating data from them - even with passwords browbeaten out of their owners. Until that time it will still be useful to bypass encryption by raiding one of the machines at the endpoints.

      = = = =

      Re the list and "no encrypted traffic": When one of the regulate-the-internet laws was about to make it too much hassle to continue, we closed down the list (after finding volunteers to run its successor and - since the participants hadn't agreed to have their info forwarded - announcing the successor on the original list and giving people time to sign up.

      Now I regularly use SSH to telecommute or to access the primary house machine from the vacation house. But that's still low-profile: It's clear from the IP addresses that the SSH connections are going to the company, coming from it, or coming from a single external dialup machine via a particular service provider.
