NSA 监控下的海豚

作者:Kyle Rankin

Jamie Zawinkski 有一句老话:“有些人遇到问题时,会想‘我知道了,我可以用正则表达式!’ 现在他们就有两个问题了。” 即使像我这样喜欢正则表达式的人,也会觉得这句话说得很对,因为我们都见过考虑不周的模式会导致什么后果。 有些人写的模式不好,最多也就是日志文件里多出几行。 但如果换成美国国家安全局(NSA),他们就会捕获并留存无数无辜民众的互联网流量。

正如我在“NSA:Linux Journal 是一个‘极端主义论坛’,其读者被标记为额外监控对象”一文中提到的,NSA 一直在根据特定模式将某些互联网流量标记为极端主义。 在匹配任何搜索 Tor 和 Tails 项目信息的人的模式旁边,是以下模式

linuxjournal.com/content/linux*

虽然普遍的共识似乎是所有这些模式都过于宽泛,但即使你认为将那些对 Tor 或 Tails 好奇的人标记为极端分子是合理的,你也难以将 Linux Journal 归为同一类。 一些新闻媒体推测,上述模式旨在匹配以下 URL

http://linuxjournal.com/content/linux-distro-tales-you-can-never-be-too…

这个链接指向 Michael Reed 在 2011 年写的一篇简短的博客文章,文章简要概述了 Tails。 这篇博文甚至不是一篇 HOWTO 指南,相反,如果你想了解更多关于如何下载或安装该发行版的详细信息,它会链接到 Tails 官方网站。 虽然那篇文章本身是无辜的(我只能想象他们会怎么看我最近发表的更深入的 TorTails HOWTO 指南),但为了捕捉到那篇文章,他们沿途标记了其他 186 篇文章。

在本文末尾,我发布了 linuxjournal.com 上与该模式匹配的 187 篇文章的完整列表,但我认为我应该挑选出几篇文章,让您了解一下这次大规模监控所涵盖内容的深度和广度,比如这篇

“Linux 基金会合作峰会 - 德克萨斯州奥斯汀 - 2008 年 4 月 8 日至 10 日”,由 Jon maddog Hall 于 2008 年 2 月 13 日发布
https://linuxjournal.cn/content/linux-foundation-collaboration-summ…

这是列表中较早的文章之一,也是许多关于 Linux 基金会的文章之一。 这篇文章宣布了由 Linux 基金会赞助的峰会,旨在将“开发、ISV、发行版、最终用户、非营利组织和供应商社区的领导者聚集在一起……讨论自由和开源软件的现状和未来发展方向”。 这只是列表中关于 Linux 会议的众多文章之一(正如您可能想象的那样,许多 Linux 会议和关于它们的文章都倾向于以 Linux 一词开头)。 这意味着任何可能对 Linux World、LinuxCon 或 linux.conf.au 感兴趣的人也被卷入了这次大规模监控。

在日期范围的另一端是这篇最新的文章

“Linux 容器和未来云”,由 Rami Rosen 于 2014 年 6 月 10 日发布
https://linuxjournal.cn/content/linux-containers-and-future-cloud

这篇文章发布不到一个月,讨论了 Linux 容器的最新趋势。 这几天,随着 Docker 越来越受欢迎,将软件打包成自包含的文件系统,而无需像 Xen 和 KVM 这样的准虚拟化解决方案相关的开销,这已成为一个热门话题。 这篇文章首先介绍了 Linux 容器的历史,然后描述了一些容器项目,并解释了如何使用 Docker 创建 LXC 容器。 因此,那些想要了解更多关于他们不断听到的这种新型容器技术的读者,大概最终会受到深度监控。

我想重点介绍的最后一篇文章标志着 Linux Journal 本身历史上的一个转折点

Linux Journal 全面转向数字化”,由 Doc Searls 于 2011 年 8 月 19 日发布
https://linuxjournal.cn/content/linux-journal-goes-100-digital

这篇文章宣布了一个令人难以置信的争议性决定,即 Linux Journal 将停止纸质杂志的出版,全面转向数字化。 虽然我猜想一些读者认为这个决定本身就很极端,但他们可能从未想过阅读这篇文章会让他们成为极端分子。 更重要的是,这篇文章在整个科技界引起了轰动,许多其他受欢迎的新闻媒体都链接到了它。 虽然到那时,Linux Journal 的常客已经被卷入大规模监控,但这个故事的广泛传播为我们不断壮大的极端分子俱乐部带来了全新一波访客。

正如您从我从列表中挑选出的几篇文章以及下面的完整列表所看到的那样,那些会让您被标记为额外监控对象的文章,代表了您在每期 Linux Journal 中都会找到的各种普通 Linux 报道。 如果对关于 Tails 的简短博客文章感兴趣的极端分子真的是 NSA 想要捕获的金枪鱼,那么他们肯定在这个过程中拖入了大量使用 Linux 的海豚。
