I've always thought his Sports Authority emails were suspicious

ugh they removed a lengthy comment I made which basically said if you read the email, it sorta does seem like maybe the wikileaks WERE INTENTIONAL and scrubbed prior to release.

yeah, had the thot last night that it was done (ie FBIAnon) to trigger widespread testing of the pedoring vulnerabilities.

lots of scrubbing been going on in the leadup to Inauguration.

I don't know if anyone's seen this all ready but here it is again just in case:

John Podesta Body Language Analysis

It's fascinating to me that a lot of these people are weak minded beta males. They have an affliction or weakness (little boys?) that can be exploited by their superiors yet they think or are told they are more important than they are. I think he may be worried he is going to get thrown under the bus if all this really gets out.

http://news.mit.edu/2014/mit-white-house-co-sponsor-workshop-on-big-data-privacy-0304 / http://archive.is/vOvpO

MIT hosts the first of three conferences on privacy policy -

White House Counselor John Podesta, grounded by snow in Washington, delivered his keynote address and took questions over the phone. But Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker was on hand, as were MIT President L. Rafael Reif and a host of computer scientists from MIT, Harvard University, and Microsoft Research, who spoke about the technical challenges of protecting privacy in big data sets.

His history with security and encryption goes way back

I get what you are saying but those things are so highly related I'm not convinced. An encryption hobbyist who is otherwise clueless about information security? Very odd.

Yeah, I used to know a guy who could fill a black-board with the most amazing calculus. Sort of guy who could probably work out the meaning of the universe in an equation ... but he couldn't master the most banal things such as a manual auto transmission, or a fishing reel.

As Assange has recently said, computers have become to complex to either know, or control access to, all of the back-doors or channels from which information can be hacked.

Could Podesta understand stenography? Based on what I can see of how he operates ... with a gmail account! parallel to private email accounts at C.A.P ... he doesn't seem to be hyper competent outside of the sociopathic tendency to let ones guard down -- false valuations and bad situational awareness. Center for American Progress had a lot of funds at its disposal, so I would have thought that they could have provided John Podesta with a private encrypted email server?

We know for a fact some of the images were stegged...

Podesta is a registered foreign agent AND a crypto freak? You better believe the NSA was monitoring him. I think it was US intelligence, NSA/CIA/FBI who hacked Podesta and sent to Wikileaks. Although it begs the question... what secure channels does he use that we will never know about? We've got just bits and pieces of this mans life. He's got more accounts, and is he's even half as smart as he should be about hiding shit, we will certainly never find it.

Not that his IQ is low persay, he's just cocky and figured no one would ever guess his password.

Granted think about it truthfully, the password itself is pretty genius as simple as it might look

have to consider when someone is attempting to obtain a person's password, there are a lot of variables. letters, numbers, in some cases cases sensitive and then the random symbols.

So even though we see p@ssw0rd and laugh are how simple it looks, it's honestly a pretty strong password because it uses a symbol and a number in it. if antyhing it shows how scary smart he can be in that respect maybe ! could be used as an i, @ a $ s and when you think of how easy it is to remember a password if you integrate symbols into a simple word, you actually create a strong password.

If you wanna have some fun, dick with this site

https://howsecureismypassword.net/

password is an instant unlock, but p@ssw0rd is 19mins, granted ya it's low, but it's low because his password is short,

But of course, regardless of his password, the fact he did the dumb thing of giving it away is what is most amusing about it. That's like espionage 101, never give out any important credentials.

I don't know if I've seen any obvious encrypted stuff. But, what may be hiding in plain sight? Steganography.

It's going to take smarter people than I...

Exaclty, here's an example (links to google's online book reader, not cp)

hey John, decrypt this:

"JN_P3DUR@$T@_1ZA_P3D00F1LE"

that's so top secret, 33 levels, he'll never get it...

Well looks like he "crypto'd" himself right out of a job, doesn't it... he he.

And crypto doesn't exactly mean he was smart enough to USE encryption... seeing as how he does high-level consultancy with household name government figures, and shadowy dictator types. Now THAT would've required a certified genius, imho, which he obviously is not. and for anyone to suggest that crypto-boy didn't step square into the proverbial ELEPHANT TURD, well... you're gong to need to prove that summation.

I thought Hillary was going to rip his head off and vomit kid guts down his neck the day after the election. But she didn't - mercy.

Some of the images he received apparently have porn hidden in them via steganography. I am aware of investagation trying to tease out the hidden images, but this is a work in progress.

Well, since you say it is certain, there is no longer any room for debate.

Podesta is also big into aliens.

Tagging @islandofdelight

Couldn't laugh any harder at this, encryption expert, yet willingly gives Apple user id and password in the same email, John "Runner1234" Podesta

Should of practised what he preached, serves the phucker right he got hacked.... Oh sorry not hacked, had his account accessed through shear incompetency.

Funnily enough, the emails appear to f been deleted from wikileaks...... More proof that wikileaks is compromised?

U know what, I no longer give a fk > dead mans keys have been released. Router got xkeyscored https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore

Reboot router and all is well. Americans brace for incoming...... It's going to be a rough ride> peace out.

Nb: copies have been distribured with instructions on what to do, in a way my own dead mans switch.

Useful degenerate idiot to the elites, wishing he was higher up the ladder I'm sure, but just as disposable as anyone else. We have been duped into believing that politicians are intelligent and it's so wrong. They are a bunch of talking heads that answer to the soros-elites of the world.

I think its a typo, i reckon he's into crypts. The way Saville was ;)

This explains the bizarre emails from Taiwan with random picture PDFs in them.

We just haven't cracked the code yet. Perhaps the FBI has.

Encryption isn't really a super complicated thing. It no more complicated than mod operations on data with prime numbers as keys. Its strength comes from the (o)^ N complexity of factoring large numbers and finding a prime factor. The difficulty is mainly implementing a system of doing the encryption that cant be gamed or have the keys be accidentally divulged. Im always wary of people who call themselves encryption experts but don't have a back ground in computational sciences or hard maths.

Crypto - zoology ??

from Wikipedia: Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience with the goal of identifying and describing beings from the folklore and the fossil record, which cryptozoologists refer to as cryptids.

This is a broad category that could include extraterrestrials or demonology. Not hard to imagine this was the intended meaning.

Is this supposed to convince me that someone really sophisticated must have hacked him rather than some intern at Clinton hq who guessed his password was "pizza"?

Can't imagine he's very good at encryption if retarded enough to get phished.

I don't know much about the source, but here's one blow-by-blow description of how this [Podesta email hack] might have happened:

"Clinton’s Tech Support Apparently Fell For Scheme That Got John Podesta’s Email Hacked"

http://lawnewz.com/politics/hillary-clinton-email-hack-john-podesta-phishing/

Is there any reason to believe Podesta wanted this leak to happen?

That's a bit hard to believe... someone is labeled as "more than a [crypto] hobbyist" with roots in the NSA and falls victim to a phishing attempt? That is like Michael Jordan missing a slam dunk on a Little Tikes basketball hoop.

And yet he falls for a fairly obvious fishing scheme and his password is p@ssw0rd.

John Podesta was pushed into the NSA a long time ago and given review authority on cryptographic policy, among other things. He is not just some geek campaign manager, he spy jerk geek of considerable influence. https://cryptome.org/puzzle.htm https://cryptome.org/jya/wjc-crypto.htm https://cryptome.org/wh091699.htm https://cryptome.org/us-crypto-up.htm https://cryptome.org/2014/01/obama-nsa-13-0117.htm https://cryptome.org/2014/03/tech-stop-spying.htm https://cryptome.org/cybersec-wh.htm
