[Hardware] [Advertisement] By Kieren McCarthy [Semiconductors] [Search for a Domain] Posted: 31/05/2001 at 16:17 GMT [Software] [Networks] According to various UK media sources [Internet] [Image] today, the buzzwords said to trigger the [Business] [by DOMAINBUSTER] US, UK, Canada, New Zealand spying mechanism Echelon have been "posted on [Security] the Internet". We haven't found the file [Bootnotes] [Image] and it hasn't popped up on the [The Week] Click to Compare authoritative site for these sorts of [Image] Prices things, Cryptome.org, so we'd not put too much weight behind it. [Contact the Reg 2] However, just for your interest, we give [Download your Reg screensaver here] you a quick run-through on what some of [Image] the words are. There are the obvious phrases like "Kill Election 2001 [Image] the President" which caused two Broadband [Image] schoolboys from the UK to be quizzed by special branch, "anarchy", "echelon" e-business [Image] :-), "nuclear", "assassinate". Then there are ones that are dodgy (cause Hardware Roundup [Image] they fit in with X-file type paranoia) The Mac Channel [Image] like "Roswell", "Waco", "World Trade Center", "Soros" - after George Soros, Games Industry [Image] "Whitewater". Channel Flannel [Image] Then there are a suspiciously large BOFH 2K+1: Whole Shebang [Image] number of hacker names: Furby, Bugs Bunny, Bubba the Love etc. But just when The Vulture Central Mailbag [Image] we thought it was obviously some script-kiddie hoax, a few interesting About The Register [Image] words crop up: [Image] * FRU - the cover name for the SAS in Northern Ireland If you want daily updates on news, * Lebed - an ex-Russian general, now enter your email address below, then a politician click the 'Join List' button. * HALO - a type of parachute jump * Spetznaz - the Russian SAS Powered by ListBot * Al Amn al-Askari - a member of the [Image] Iraqi cabinet * Glock 26 - a ceramic handgun that can't be detected by airport scanners (a reader informs us that Join the Reg SETI group the Glock 26 is only partly ceramic, the bullets are metal and Join Reg Cancerbusters is can be detected at airports - so we should really shift this one into the X-file list) * Steak Knife - the codename for an IRA double agent And so on and so forth. Go through them carefully to satisfy your paranoid fantasies (you'll be safe under the bed, trust us). ® Update We've been sent this list which may or may not be the same as the one that Block Echelon Day used and which has hit papers today. Who knows? (They do).
