schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Although the Internet's exosphere of content and applications is visible toMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> users, the majority of the network's technical and material architectureMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> lies deeply concealed beneath this surface. The structure and governance ofMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> the Internet's underlying infrastructure--comprising code, hardware,Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> protocols, switches, and other virtual and physical resources--is hardlyMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> neutral but rather constrains behavior through technical design, directMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> governance, and private contractual agreements. The multivariate metaphorMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> "black code" refers to this hidden nature of cyberspace infrastructure andMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> also to the clandestine sphere of nation-state intelligence gathering andMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> warfare in cyberspace (invoking Black Ops) and more nefarious onlineMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> criminal practices (invoking Black Hat hacking).Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Many readers will find *Black Code* both illuminating and terrifying. StateMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> power over the Internet is escalating, with the exact same technologiesMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> that provide unprecedented opportunities for free expression being used toMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> enact surveillance and censorship of citizens by authoritarian governmentsMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> and liberal democracies alike. In a book researched and penned prior toMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Edward Snowden's whistleblowing on NSA surveillance, Deibert (a politicalMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> scientist at the University of Toronto) cites a former NSA employee whoMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> estimated that "billions" of phone calls and "voluminous" quantities ofMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> e-mails are electronically processed every day.Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Government surveillance does not happen sui generis but requiresMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> cooperation from the private companies--social media platforms, searchMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> engines, and transactional sites--that serve as information intermediaries.Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Big data gathered around routine Internet use through these privateMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> intermediaries fuel the online advertising business models enabling freeMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> and unprecedented access to knowledge. But collecting these data (includingMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> metadata such as geographical location, phone number, and unique technicalMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> identifiers) creates unprecedented challenges to individual privacy andMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> opportunities for surveillance. As Deibert graphically portrays privateMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> industry data capture, "Like a giant python that has consumed a rat,Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Facebook captures, swallows, and slowly digests its users."Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> One of *Black Code*'s contributions is to illumine the privatized politicalMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> architecture of the Internet's core technologies. Deibert once toured aMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Toronto Internet Exchange Point, a shared switching facility at whichMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> networks conjoin to collectively compose the global Internet. A tourMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> guide's response to his query about "hundreds of what appeared to beMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> randomly distributed red tags attached to the equipment" was "Oh, those areMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> the wiretaps."Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Deibert also unearths the subterranean battles at the Internet's core viaMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> his account of the investigative work of the University of Toronto'sMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Citizen Lab, which he founded in the spring of 2001 to "lift the lid on theMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Internet" and research global security issues in cyberspace. Using aMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> combination of technical forensic analysis and social science researchMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> methods, Citizen Lab exposed a disturbing world of digital subterfuge,Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> including "Ghost-Net," a global cyber-espionage network that hadMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> compromised computers operated by ministries of foreign affairs, major newsMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> outlets, embassies, and numerous global institutions. The Dalai Lama'sMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> computers having been infiltrated, his administration granted Citizen LabMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> unrestricted access to them. Citizen Lab analysts infiltrated aMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> cyber-espionage operation for months, discovering that the attackers usedMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> the freely available open-source cyber-intrusion tool Ghost RAT.Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> The book also conveys examples of the Internet's vulnerability toMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> inadvertent problems, such as when Internet access in the nation state ofMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Georgia "went dark" for 12 hours after an elderly woman with a shovelMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> accidentally severed a critical fiber-optic cable. Basic societalMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> structures of financial flows, energy infrastructures, social interactions,Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> and commerce depend on the Internet, an infrastructure whose technicalMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> architecture and governance are in constant flux.Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> *Black Code* ties together usually disparate subject matter--big data, newMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> business models based on online advertising, cybercrime, infrastructureMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> vulnerability, and geopolitical power struggles--into a coherent exposé ofMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> what is at stake in how the Internet is designed, governed, andMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> infiltrated. In it, Deibert uncovers more problems than solutions (which heMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> addresses elsewhere), but this is a refreshing change from prevailingMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> narratives about social media-driven democratic revolutions. In reality,Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> the Internet's architecture is now ground zero for geopolitical conflict,Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> rising state power, and the future of what counts as basic civil libertiesMar 11 20:43

schestowitz__> speech on Internet freedom urging American media corporations to challengeMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> "foreign governments' demands for censorship and surveillance." Three yearsMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> later, Internet-freedom advocates experienced the cognitive dissonance ofMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> juxtaposing this rhetoric with revelations about the U.S. National SecurityMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Agency's (NSA's) expansive digital surveillance practices. TheseMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> disclosures came as no surprise to those who have read Ron Deibert's *BlackMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Code*.Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Although the Internet's exosphere of content and applications is visible toMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> users, the majority of the network's technical and material architectureMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> lies deeply concealed beneath this surface. The structure and governance ofMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> the Internet's underlying infrastructure--comprising code, hardware,Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> protocols, switches, and other virtual and physical resources--is hardlyMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> neutral but rather constrains behavior through technical design, directMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> governance, and private contractual agreements. The multivariate metaphorMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> "black code" refers to this hidden nature of cyberspace infrastructure andMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> also to the clandestine sphere of nation-state intelligence gathering andMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> warfare in cyberspace (invoking Black Ops) and more nefarious onlineMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> criminal practices (invoking Black Hat hacking).Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Many readers will find *Black Code* both illuminating and terrifying. StateMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> power over the Internet is escalating, with the exact same technologiesMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> that provide unprecedented opportunities for free expression being used toMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> enact surveillance and censorship of citizens by authoritarian governmentsMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> and liberal democracies alike. In a book researched and penned prior toMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Edward Snowden's whistleblowing on NSA surveillance, Deibert (a politicalMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> scientist at the University of Toronto) cites a former NSA employee whoMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> estimated that "billions" of phone calls and "voluminous" quantities ofMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> e-mails are electronically processed every day.Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> Government surveillance does not happen sui generis but requiresMar 11 20:41
schestowitz__> cooperation from the private companies--social media platforms, searchMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> engines, and transactional sites--that serve as information intermediaries.Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Big data gathered around routine Internet use through these privateMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> intermediaries fuel the online advertising business models enabling freeMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> and unprecedented access to knowledge. But collecting these data (includingMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> metadata such as geographical location, phone number, and unique technicalMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> identifiers) creates unprecedented challenges to individual privacy andMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> opportunities for surveillance. As Deibert graphically portrays privateMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> industry data capture, "Like a giant python that has consumed a rat,Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Facebook captures, swallows, and slowly digests its users."Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> One of *Black Code*'s contributions is to illumine the privatized politicalMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> architecture of the Internet's core technologies. Deibert once toured aMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Toronto Internet Exchange Point, a shared switching facility at whichMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> networks conjoin to collectively compose the global Internet. A tourMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> guide's response to his query about "hundreds of what appeared to beMar 11 20:42

schestowitz__> the wiretaps."Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Deibert also unearths the subterranean battles at the Internet's core viaMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> his account of the investigative work of the University of Toronto'sMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Citizen Lab, which he founded in the spring of 2001 to "lift the lid on theMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Internet" and research global security issues in cyberspace. Using aMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> combination of technical forensic analysis and social science researchMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> methods, Citizen Lab exposed a disturbing world of digital subterfuge,Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> including "Ghost-Net," a global cyber-espionage network that hadMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> compromised computers operated by ministries of foreign affairs, major newsMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> outlets, embassies, and numerous global institutions. The Dalai Lama'sMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> computers having been infiltrated, his administration granted Citizen LabMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> unrestricted access to them. Citizen Lab analysts infiltrated aMar 11 20:42

schestowitz__> the freely available open-source cyber-intrusion tool Ghost RAT.Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> The book also conveys examples of the Internet's vulnerability toMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> inadvertent problems, such as when Internet access in the nation state ofMar 11 20:42
schestowitz__> Georgia "went dark" for 12 hours after an elderly woman with a shovelMar 11 20:42

schestowitz__> architecture and governance are in constant flux.Mar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> Mar 11 20:43

schestowitz__> what is at stake in how the Internet is designed, governed, andMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> infiltrated. In it, Deibert uncovers more problems than solutions (which heMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> addresses elsewhere), but this is a refreshing change from prevailingMar 11 20:43
schestowitz__> narratives about social media-driven democratic revolutions. In reality,Mar 11 20:43
