…Or did they?…
…Well, go figure.
That skill set should come in very handy down there in, of all places, San Diego, where the far-right Republican Board of Supes, and the far-right Republican Registrar of Voters office, have never met a hackable Diebold electronic voting system they didn’t love.
I recall “Strider” (Krvaric) and the “Fairlight” boyz from my own C-64 and BBS “warez” swapping days in the late 80’s. Those guys, and the other incredibly competitive pirate crews, could crack anything, anytime, usually within minutes after a new piece of software hit the market (and often, even before it did!).
But no doubt, the air-tight, mission-critical, impenetrable security in Diebold’s voting systems would be beyond the reach of d00dz like Strider and friends. And, of course, there’s far more to gain by a 17-year-old “Strider” cracking the codes of, say, International Karate Plus and Shoot ’em Up Construction Kit than there ever would be for him, as county GOP chair, to hack an election in San Diego, right? I mean, what would possibly be the upside to that?
Miriam Raftery’s excellent two-part investigative exclusive for RAW STORY (and for me, at least, a trip down memory lane) is here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).
Mark Krotoski:
I must strongly advise your department and CCIPS review thoroughly the
international law on human and intellectual rights. Moreso, 100% of
your “press releases” from USDOJ have been severely inaccurate and
erroneous and do not accurately reflect the case presented. Your
public documentation is intentionally misleading, fraudulent, and
makes lead for your departments to make illegitimate profit on false
criminal persecution of intellectual rights when illegitimately
intermixed with criminal prosecutions.
In the latest case, your press release does not properly distinguish
the diverse categories related to non-intellectual media (games,
music, non-educational video) from the UN protected intellectual
rights of humanity in regard to what your press release phrases as
“utility software”. Your presentation is blatantly flawed, the court
data has not been presented accurately, and your (criminal) attempts
to include intellectual and human rights material distribution
(without profit?) in the same proceedings as distribution of mass
media is explicitly illegal by international law.
One should note that the International courts and bodies have made
public their discontent with the profiteering of the Connecticut and
California “organized crime” entities known as the US DOJ District
attorneys. In the last obvious case, the prosecuting and investigating
authorities from CT-New Haven and Hartford were immediately promoted
to head of department on the basis of their fraudulent and
unsubstantiated claims. Your salaries and their bonus raises are
correlaries to and more criminal than the cases in which they have
entrapped, framed, and illegitimately charged children with crimes
that were never physically instantiated.
My primary concern is your inconsistent public presentations across
the USDOJ proceedings, continued support of organized crime syndicates
like mass media, and blatant disregard for international laws and
policy on the non-suppression of medical, intellectual, and human
rights content (such as that which facilitates operation of a physical
device or infrastructure) in the context of “software” or “machine
code compilations” which does not include adequately valid copyright
on artistic productions or personalized media.
Please forward these concerns to all branches of your criminal
institution. Your conduct when facilitating systemic organized crime
in the American commerce system must be remedied; a pursuit of
financial crimes (sales of media), unsubstantiated distribution of
mass media content, unrelated physical or asset gains (free car for
software distribution where the car is unrelated), and related true
crimes must be enforced legitimately, however your combination of
unrelated and non-criminal proceedings on the basis of casual
relationship with an activity of concern MUST BE CORRECTED AND
PUBLICLY ADDRESSED.
I will suggest a comprehensive rewrite of your fraudulent and
misleading public presentations, thoroughly policy review and prior
case re-assessment, and a thorough audit of invalid pleads,
entrapment, and explicit misleading of the public with criminal intent
by the US DOJ and others, so as to facilitate legitimate and honest
proceedings to maintain integrity of both your “justice” system and
the public at large.
You should be aware of the implications of “DieBold”, however your
cases, especially those in CA and CT, have gross errors and invalidity
intrinsic in their wrongful misrepresentations, exploitation, and
their contrast and contradiction of international law. You should be
pursuing valid and legitimate criminal activity and not invalidating
all of your cases with invalid findings.
Please respond via email your receipt of this message, and forward
this to all associated parties.
I ran a bbs (1996-2000 / 2001-2003), I know exactly what your saying Brad.
Just for fun since you started on a C-64 Pacific-link … It’s just music..Hope it brings a smile to the face.
On the other hand, the one thing I learned from back in those days, is to be able to deal with anything that comes up. No need to have anti-virus when you can find the virus on your own. A skill set that seems to be lost with most computer users these days. Common sense–out the door. Computer users are different from computer programmers, and computer programmers are different from engineers and hardware manufactures. (Probably spelled something wrong there and screwed up my point / opinion, but Oh well.)
Perhaps somewhat off-topic, but so be it, which BBS software did you use, Phil? I was one of the creators of the PowerBBS platform, just FYI. Though that was long after the C-64 “warez” days mentioned in the articles above (back when everything was largely either Mustang or its ilk).
Thank God for this post 😉
IMO the election system is so full of holes the State elections are hacked locally and the Federal ones nationally, except during an “accidental” close one, electorically speaking, of course.
Phil – The MP3 is hysterical, btw. Though there may be only a few of us around here who would still get it/appreciate it 🙂
Just out of curiously has this information been on ANY MSM at all?
I don’t even watch any MSM news anymore except for the occasional Olbermann so I don’t know but I would guess the answer to be NO.
I find it mind boggling that they are so blatantly obvious about their Election Fraud.
I really miss those days when computers were incredibly fun appliances with exciting futures. As with all powerful things, they are now being used for evil purposes.
You C-64 guys are a bunch of nerds. Atari was the best! 🙂
Utah’s GOP chairman runs a few of those quick cash places and helps get through legislation so he can charge 520% on loans. These guys are really, really bad people!
Brad,
(note: time lines jump around)
Officially, started with the black and yellow wildcat (wildcat 1 or 2?) trial, then spitfire + FD (fidonet) + Lakota (SPITFIRE QWK Packet network) (Mike Woltz), then iniquity + FD + Spitfire (hidden as a door.) All this ran on anything from 8086, 8088, 80286, 80386, 80486, 80586, Pentium, PI, PII, P3
Unofficially, I Tried a *most* others just to learn how they all worked, or to just see if I could set them up and learn them.
In the 1980’s I briefly messed with coding in basic on TRS-80, and some other single board computer which I don’t remember what it was but I remember the power cable used to come out and dump the whole program. Later in 90’s I had to learn word perfect for college and then got back into computers and chips and electronics, and programming nearly anything I could get my hands and and make work or hack or use or test or ratwire, or code. I still have all my junk, I still have weird boxes wired up with god knows what inside anything from a digital audio delays to modulators to cb’s to custom made test equipment.
I won’t keep this off topic any more. Except to say that anybody that was a hacker / cracker KNOWS damn well that electronic tabulation devices are in fact an abusive use of electronics, and should have NEVER been allowed into our elections. A Constitutional and National Security nightmare from HELL. And that the corporate fascist mainstream media still has this all blacked out, and most people don’t know anything about electronics to understand these dirty little secrets or they would be protesting every day in millions in the streets. Ignorance is bliss, but it won’t last much longer.
Thanks for posting this Brad. I shall be quiet now 😉 … except Floridiot and I are planning to dig up the trail of his fellow crackers.
Why? They tend to stay loyal and in touch for the most part.
A bunch of those doodz have been indicted for credit card fraud … cracker style of course …
My bet is that he still has contact with them and has operated an industrial espionage thingy and an on the side evoting machine crackathon.
The folks who are heavy into denial will have to experience unconsciousness to deny this one.
Strider is his second incarnation. He was originally “No 1”, the best:
(Defacto2). Thus, in only it’s second morph, it bacame international and very potent.
The next morph was USA “United Software Association” (American Flag Background), which was a morph not only in cracker ability, but political saavy:
(ibid, emphasis added).
And that led to infiltrating political parties, which would put them right next to all the evoting machine hardware and software they could handle. And they can handle it with ease.
Back to the story, they got into financial problems and did the neoCon thingy:
(ibid, emphasis added). Things got hot, so Strider did the next morph:
(ibid, emphasis added). Wow!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!
Next time we talk 2004-2008 …
I’m still not convinced yet Dredd that they had to crack anything, I think the software code was handed to the Pukes a long time ago…silver platter included.
That’s why I’ve been looking into the hardware/networking/testing side of this.
I need more convincing to pique my curiosity.
The digging will start then
Floridiot #12
Arguable. But stick to the drama here. It sells 😉
Read the character closely. What does his emotional DNA look like? He is damn good. He puts people inside.
He plays the game to advance himself because he needs recognition. His parents did not make him a solid. He is a shape shifter.
Once in, he will see the possibilities. It isn’t limited to a presidental race that draws the heat. It could apply to many house and senatorial races, state races, where for a mere million we will do you righteous.
Don’t think to big or too small. He isn’t.
BTW I noticed that Brad sedd “Raw Story Did It” (not me Strider) 😉 I laughed my ass off Brad, because we (Brad included) all know Raw Story is going to take a hit for this. Strider et al will hack their site in a nasty way because those are the rules.
The California Republican Party is very proud of this guy. Yet, for some reason they aren’t letting me copy and paste from their website. Wow. I have to type this in. That’s ok. Typing is fun. 🙂

I found this using the googler.

He was inspired by Ronald Reagan just like Kos Zuniga.
He’s the Budget Committee Chairman and a prime candidate for the Hair Club For Men:

Executive Director of Digital Vikings, Mr. Internet:

the people united will never be defeated
He’s already scrubbed the wayback machine with the “Robots.txt Query Exclusion.”
No dice for this last one:
http://www.agedwards.com/fc/tony.krvaric
It redirects to http://www.krvariccapital.com/
He’s probably busy scrubbing and deleting right now. There’s more stuff on him to be found and figured out, imho.
Any chance he is tied in with this guy?

I really love it when you guys get into “research” mode but I don’t have a clue what all that goobly goo is about 🙂
Why does this not surprise me?
Oh yeah, I’ve lived most of my life in San Diego, that’s why.
nunya
Yer gonna love this… not.
The Republican Party is still backing this guy. BradBlog is a journalist blog. Amateur internet sleuths like to see what is available with the open source material and add it into the mix. Some of it can be tedious. But a lot of it completes the picture. Someone will google this topic and find this thread. Then maybe they’ll check out the other parts of this domain concerning election integrity.

That never held you back before 😉 …
Just replace “cracker” with “hacker” and go to the sites in the links.
If you can’t figure out what a world class cracker(modern day folk call them “hackers”) (with access because of friends like Haas et al.) could do with any voting machine currently used, you haven’t been reading many posts here for the past few years.
This makes the Clint Curtis story a kindergarden adventure. I hope Clint gets it.

Silvio Krvaric who was “Aaron of Fairlight” is now the President of the Washington D.C. -Federal Bar Association. Look at the pictures with the Judges and Federal District Attorney.
This is looking really weird.
Just google aaron and fairlight.
http://www.google.com/search?cl...=Google+Search
Access to those photos has been shut off. Who needs to scrub and prune, if they have nothing to hide?
Just a thought if anyone thinks it would be worth some digging: Figure out some numbers that would be meaningful to this Krvaric and associates like birthdates etc and compare those numbers to some election results that are under doubt. My theory is that people like this would use numbers that are meaningful to them when fixing results as a signature.
Wouldnt necessarily prove anything if found out but would be at least interesting.
I found some code in bradblog pages that links to striderweb dot com. Follow it up and you will find the guy’s nickname is strider72 and Strider.
Funny!!!
