Incorporated within Reliable was the idea of protecting the identity of remailer users. Frog, however, has been steadily "modifying" it to his own ends. Has he ever made these "modifications" public so that those capable of doing so can examine his his coding? No. The best that Rprocess (the man who wrote Reliable) could accomplish was to acquire a promise from Frog not to distribute Frog's modified version. And we all know how forthright and honest Frog is. Right? Even if Rprocess were given access to the code, what guarantee was there that Frog did not leave "important" changes out of what he showed Rprocess, or that he hasn't made *more*, and extreme, changes to Reliable? Frog's entire history as a re-mope has been replete with his outing people and attempting to gain total control of the remailer system and its users, including by the foul ploy of running secret remailers in order to trace posts from their entry to their exit. Only Frog knows for sure of what design and purpose these modifications serve. But from his past obsession with outings and paranoid rants, we can make an educated guess that they do not bode well for any who use his machines, especially his so-called nym server. BEWARE of Frogs bearing gifts. http://www.google.com/groups?q=author:frog-admin&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&newwindow=1&scoring=r&as_drrb=b&as_mind=25&as_minm=10&as_miny=2001&as_maxd=28&as_maxm=10&as_maxy=2001&selm=27S4A2O037193.0051851852%40frog.gilgamesh.org&rnum=1 Tiny URL: http://tinyurl.com/sgmh From: Frog-Admin (Use-Author-Address-Header@[127.1]) Subject: Re: M.

That is also what I wrote on my WWW, and I stick to my word. Additionally, my own .exe depends on my disk (directories) organization. But you will find *everything* else you ask for on my WWW, and even more Just follow the links from Modify Potatoware http://www.privacyresources.org/frogadmin/PotatoX_Gen.html It is a good idea to consult the remops archives at Shinn's because 2 remops had some trouble lately with incorrect .ocx. + subscribe to the list, of course I will coach you along the process if you need it, but other Reliable remops have that capacity too, Farout e.g. published fixes that I do use.
