Well the first 8 bytes translate to "Salted__" when interpreted as ASCII. OpenSSL with some options produces files with that keyword followed by the salt.

The folks who gave you stars for this, like you, don't know how to use google...

OF COURSE it's salted!!!!

Downloading now. I probably just confirmed my name on a list somewhere but how can you put a price on freedom?

Well I snagged it i really dont worry about all the hubub if you think you or your ip are not already on some list your fooling your self I did notice the trackers connections though and found it going to a german tech institute a few times along with expexted governement nets out there. This should keep me busy for a little while... be back

I'm still skeptical of Wiki Leaks, I'm sure hoping that this isn't a false flag, meaning an excuse to shut down alternative media on the Internet or the Internet altogether.

Hey I am a noob to this site; however I am pretty good with computers. Just thought I would let all of you know that I am in the process of downloading the torrent. It's 1.38G's so it will be tomorrow. If I find anything of interest, I will post it up. Either way, I will be a seeder for this file.

BINGO! You're all very astute players, thanks again for role-playing and conforming so easily. Repeat after me, "BAAAAA"

Internet Patriot Act, so easily passed and accepted; in the name of security for our DOD documents and men/women in uniform! We need our government to protect us from the meanies like Assange.

Exactly. With as much as the U.S.government has been salivating to have control over the web, this whole event with Wikileaks is going to give them precisely what they want.

Especially after the media and government officials can convince the majority that "...the internet is a dangerous place, and to protect sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands, and to protect the lives of our military men and women as they combat terrorism; the U.S. government will now be taking control of teh interwebz."

Or something along those lines.

Its the perfect Hegelian Dialect to take down one of our greatest resources.

Just a thought here... But who's to say that the password to this leak isn't but only an activation code to initiate the ticking of some sort of power grid shut down clock. Or even worse....A worldwide e-banking collapse due to fraudulant credit card purchase activity?

I'm sure they will take their time in opening this file on an insecure location by mistake. Oops... Sorry folks... we thought it would be a simple text file.

Naaaa.... But it would make a good novel though....(pause)....But could it happen?

Aaaaaand Begin the debate...............NOW!!!

Better have your facts together on this one ATS members. Alot of possible senerios could rise from the opening of the INSURANCE file. Why is it called such a name, and what is it ENSURING? :\

Everybody knows the key is "onion"

Although like an onion it has many layers.

Just wish they would post the damn pass already so I can start digging through the documents. I'm going to keep seeding the file indefinitely. I'm hoping this is some damn good insurance, and not just a bluff.

Such a no-brainer, i've downloaded and suggested to all my friends and family alike to grab it while its hot.

As far as being traced by downloading the file - honestly i don't give a [SNIP], nor should anyone. The more of "US" that download the wider the net has to be for "THEM" to follow up any catches.

peace to all

Just bounce your connection a bit around Russia and a couple countries that reallllly doesn't like the US and then download it through the tunnel... takes longer....muchhhhhh longer.... but by the time they get the political BS needed for those countries to cooperate and give up the data IF ever it happens the 30 days that 99% of the ISP around of the world keep logged traffic will be lonnnnngggg over... And you would be traceable anymore....

The limit of their control on the internet can be increased dramatically. In such event I will be setting up packet radio BBS and whoever has a AM Radio license lemme know we'll get in touch in due time. They can't stop one way of transferring information but they can't stop them all... I can setup packet radio BBS and they can be relayed. Also private underground private networks can be setup so we can hide in the shadows ... but in the event that there's a complete takeover of the internet I suggest everyone that has any hopes of keeping in touch and sharing information they won't let you share then to get a AM Radio license...

member named 'Audi' said that ATS is a conspiracy in WikiLeaks IRC chat, member 'Andrei' said it isn't.

It happened at 6:55 a.m. GMT.

[03:55] < Audi > ABOVE TOP SECRET IS A C.O.N.S.P.I.R.A.C.Y. !
[03:55] Audi it is mostly a forum

Okay, you know NOTHING about how computers work I see. You aren't going to shut down a power grid because you entered a certain password to open a file. Wow.

WikiLeaks are doing what YOU are too afraid to do. They are GOOD GUYS. I can't believe anyone could even disagree with what they're doing or think they're planning evil things.

haha the wikileaks story kinda reminds me of the book 'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown.

Synopsis

When the United States National Security Agency's code-breaking machine (TRANSLTR) encounters a new and complex code—Digital Fortress—that it cannot break, Commander Trevor Strathmore calls in Susan Fletcher, their head cryptographer to crack it. She discovers that it was written by Ensei Tankado, a former NSA employee who became displeased with the NSA's intrusion into people's private lives. Tankado intends to auction the code's algorithm on his website and have his partner, "NDAKOTA", release it for free if he dies. Essentially holding the NSA hostage, the agency is determined to stop Digital Fortress from becoming a threat to national security.

Not quite sure i understand this but it has crossed my mind that there must be a way to form 'our own' internet. This is where my lack of knowledge will show but, for example, is it possible for people to telephone each others computers directly or, as this post seems to be saying, transmit data via radio ?

I'm guessing that all telephone transmissions could in theory be stopped and if so, how would be bypass the restrictions ? Is it possible for people to get radio transceivers to fulfill the same purpose ?

I'll tell you what you don't want to do...is put 100% faith into WikiLeaks.
There is always that chance that the government is in on it. Think about it...

WikiLeaks releases some items that look/are legitimate and gains everyone's trust.
WikiLeaks now has the ability to release whatever it wants, and 99% of the people will believe it. What if some of the people we call "nuts" on this forum were right. What if WikiLeaks was really ran by the government just for them to set up a grounds for trust. WikiLeaks later releases information on the aliens that the government is supposed to fake to create what they call the New World Order...and we wind up falling for it all?

If I would have released information WikiLeaks did I would be crucified the day after....however this guy just sits happily in his Australian home with rape allegations...
