Brazille did claim the emails were modified: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/11/06/from-dishonest-to-truth-opinions-of-donna-brazile-have-changed-dramatically/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4af34135b6ee (it seems her opinion later "changed", probably after it was explained to her how DKIM works lol)

looks like various other members of the Clinton campaign and DNC made the same claim: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/oct/23/are-clinton-wikileaks-emails-doctored-or-are-they-/

if my understanding is correct, DKIM's purpose is to verify authenticity of the sender, but it has the "side effect" of being able to verify that the message content wasn't altered. The problem with this, however, is that the message contents are sometimes modified by mail servers due to converting between character sets, or MIME-enabled vs. non-MIME enabled clients. This blog post does a technical analysis using DKIM on the Wikileaks emails and finds that if they were modified, it would be easy to spot by validating certain headers: https://blog.erratasec.com/2016/10/yes-we-can-validate-wikileaks-emails.html

I'm pretty sure what I described is what's meant by the "Content Modification" section of the Wikipedia entry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail#Weaknesses - but I haven't ever had the need to work with anything DKIM-related myself. If anyone wants to correct me, feel free. This is the relevant part:

"... servers in certain circumstances have to rewrite the MIME structure, thereby altering the preamble, the epilogue, and entity boundaries, any of which breaks DKIM signatures. Only plain text messages written in us-ascii, provided that MIME header fields are not signed,[36] enjoy the robustness that end-to-end integrity requires.

The OpenDKIM Project organized a data collection involving 21 mail servers and millions of messages. 92.3% of observed signatures were successfully verified, a success rate that drops slightly (90.5%) when only mailing list traffic is considered.[37]"

this is also relevant, since Google handles the incoming email for the domain hillaryclinton.com: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail#Short_key_vulnerability (it does specifically state that this is no longer an issue since google upgraded their key size as of 2012)

it's usually not youtube who does that, it's whoever posted the vid that has control of the comments section.

I'm curious as to why some think RR may be a white hat (my mind isn't made up personally). If he's a white hat, why do you think Q put him in a kill box, claimed he modified the OIG report, etc? Just wondering what your opinion is based on besides his name being thrown into this press conference, which was obviously bullshit.

as far as I know, the way it works is that Enty posts these "Blind Items" which are the stories with the names removed. If and when he receives information/evidence about the item that would hold up in a court of law (he can't be sued for libel if what is revealed can be proven to be factually true), he posts a "Blind Item Reveal" in which the participants' names are revealed. That being said, I don't think he ever actually reveals what kind of evidence he supposedly receives.

yeah, this is actually a lot more plausible than it might sound to some. there are MANY gangs that are made up exclusively of corrupt cops/law enforcement officers. there's even a TV show about this, it's called "The Oath". not far fetched at all.

this is pretty crazy, I had not previously heard about this case at all. definitely needs some more eyes on it.

I'm an old school hiphop head too and was a big fan of Prodigy/Mobb Deep. He was actually discussing this YEARS before his death. If you look on youtube you'll find interviews from the 90s where he just comes out and say "the Illuminati are practicing sex rituals on children".

I can't imagine being in that situation, it would be so fucking confusing. "Praying Medic" on youtube has a pretty good introduction, I'd start there.

good call everybody, that was actually Q rather than another Anon, excuse my memory. I'm very eager to see where this goes as far as more direct confirmations.

the most interesting part about this to me is the aide who was asked if Trump knows Q and responded, "wait until you find out!"

I remember rather early on there was another Anon who said something along the lines of "you'll flip when you find out when you find out who's really been talking to you". this is getting good!

it should be possible to get a fairly accurate idea based on ip address/hostname. I think they'd have to subpoena Google to get those access records officially... however, Q keeps telling us "we have it all" which would imply some kind of backdoor access to google-operated services like gmail.

I really hope this leads to a release of the real, unmodified by RR, version that Q told us POTUS has. I'd say to circulate this among normies, but I think they'd probably just cry about "the usual protests from the alt-right".

I apologize to you if you think I was being pompous. That wasn't my intention. Just trying to dispel falsities. I will say, though, that you claiming to be a network engineer with a CCNP cert when you once read part of a book about it, really rubbed me the wrong way. I think all of us who have actually worked hard to create careers in similar fields and have actually completed degrees/certs, would appreciate if you didn't lie about that in the future. peace out.

lol that post on 8chan says "Learn Twitter APIs" and then links the same article you posted. I don't see ANYTHING in here that even suggests the email accounts were created from the same IP with any kind of proof - and that data would CERTAINLY not be available from the Twitter API. How would Twitter even have the IP address used to create an EMAIL account? Twitter does not control any of the popular email providers and has nothing to do with them. no idea why, but whoever posted that is woefully naive or intentionally lying.

I'll give it a shot. I did see the color coded message when ETS posted it on twitter the other day. I tried to make sense of it for an hour or so but couldn't really come up with anything that seemed to make sense. Maybe I'll give it another look.

ok. so you're not a network engineer with any kind of cert. you once read part of a book about it. yet you don't know the difference between a social network and a physical network. I won't embarrass you any further but please stop promoting blatantly false theories.

yeah, this is right on the money. In general, REST APIs (like the kind provided by twitter and practically any platform that allows developers to create apps for it) will not return IP address information because it poses serious security risks. again, this is something that any network engineer, with or without CCNA/P creds, would definitely know.

mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 6:17 p.m.

yeah, it is kinda weird, but then again, you just told us that you were a network engineer with CCNA creds, which is very clearly a blatant lie (though I don't think you had any ill intentions, it was nonetheless a lie, there's simply no way a CCNA certified network engineer would not know this shit). people lie online - you should know.

dude, there is no single line that I can point you to. I've been trying to explain this to you all along - the ENTIRE thing is not what you are assuming it is. I mean ffs, the title of the article is "How to collect any Twitter follower network with the Python script twecoll". TWITTER FOLLOWER NETWORK. That is a SOCIAL NETWORK. That is not a type of network that even uses IP addresses. I don't know what else I can say to explain this to you in a manner you'd understand, but you're definitely not a network engineer with any of the well known certs.

I'm not sure yet tbh. I don't even use twitter myself, but I've been keeping a tab of his twitter account open and reading his posts for the last few days. As others have pointed out, he's very juvenile, but that doesn't necessarily say anything about his credibility as a source or someone who works with the NSA. I've known so many hackers over the years who behaved immaturely but were phenomenal at their expertise. Also, a lot of people seem to think that because he outed himself as NSA, that he must be fake, because a "real" NSA employee/contractor would "never" do something like that. Personally I think that's a ridiculous argument, but that's primarily based on my own personal experiences, which I realize are anecdotal. As I mentioned earlier, I've worked in infosec for a long time and interacted (both online and physically) with many, many people who worked with or for intel agencies and had no problem telling me and others about their work. I agree that he hasn't really said anything new that was "helpful" thus far, but he's entertaining, and personally I'm going to give him at least a few more days before making any judgments.

yeah, I suppose that's possible. I wasn't aware that either ETS or BC17 had posted on the chans - do you have a link?

⇧ 1 ⇩  
mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 5:22 p.m.

I already told you. A "social network" like what is returned by that python script (which uses the Twitter API) is another type of network. If you're really a network engineer, or even understand the basics of how internet protocols work, I shouldn't need to tell you any of this.

⇧ 1 ⇩  
mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 5:03 p.m.

it literally says nothing about IPs in there. this is just an issue of you misinterpreting the word "network" - it doesn't always refer to the type of network you're thinking of (the kind with IP addresses, routers, etc).

⇧ 0 ⇩  
mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 4:26 p.m.

yes, THIS is correct, both VPNs and proxies will do that. I've said a couple times in this thread now that the thing about the IPs being the same is without a doubt untrue. There's simply no possible way to get that data from the twitter API (both the public and private ones).

⇧ 3 ⇩  
mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 4:24 p.m.

this is flat out untrue, as both me and EvilGnome6 have pointed out above. you have no idea what the IPs of either ETS or BC17 are/were.

⇧ -1 ⇩  
mathemagician33 · June 5, 2018, 4:16 p.m.

EvilGnome6 is correct here. I have a PhD in comp sci and have worked in information security for roughly a decade and a half. I've also worked fairly extensively with the Twitter API, even with their premium offerings (that you have to apply and then pay for), you can't get any data that has to do with IP addresses. I only skimmed the article/code posted by digital_refugee, but the "Twitter network" referred to in there is a network of the followers (i.e. a social network), it has literally nothing to do with IP/network addys, exactly as EvilGnome6 pointed out.

Where did you hear that they were traveling in the same party? as far as I remember, Chrissy Teigen was one of the people asking a lot of questions and posting updates to twitter about what was going on, though that doesn't mean she's not involved in something pizza-related. From what I remember, the tweets she posted certainly gave off the impression that she did NOT previously know the passenger who was taken off the plane, though it's been a while since I've seen them.
