FBI & DEA Warn That IPv6 May Be Too Damn Anonymous
"IPv6 has been around for quite some time at this point, but as we get closer and closer to moving the internet over to the system, it appears that American and Canadian law enforcement has just noticed that it's not as easy to identify and track users, and they're frantically raising concerns."
"FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials have told industry representatives that IPv6 traceability is necessary to identify people suspected of crimes. The FBI has even suggested that a new law may be necessary if the private sector doesn't do enough voluntarily." http://www.techdirt.com/articles/201...nonymous.shtml |
I am sure that will come as a major disappointment to law enforcement.
One of the 'supposed' advantages of IPv6 was going to be the government's ability to track users and their devices. With the sheer number of IP's available, they were talking about being able to assign IP's to everything, including your refrigerator. Frankly, I am happy to hear it. I am getting tired of big brother thinking they need to snoop on everything and everyone supposedly to protect my "liberty". :disgust |

What happens in my refrigerator STAYS in my refrigerator! ...for a while anyway, and then if it goes bad, I have to throw it out, so it may not NECESSARILY STAY in my refrigerator forever, but you know... that's just common sense. |
We hold the real power, not them and their fucking necessary division.

Yes, because everyone should be free to sell heroin, weapons and cp online... as well as organize and plan terrorist attacks without the fear of "big brother" watching over them...

Typical government bullshit. Spend billions and literally decades moving to a new system only to freak out at the last second and decide it's risky, broken or a death trap.
We run this fucking country like a Delorean motors franchise... |

:1orglaugh RTFM |
instead of having a few computers behind one ip address, ipv6 will have the suspects computers behind a /64.
How is that so hard? |

The law is about striking a balance between individual freedoms and rights and being able to track down and prosecute those who break the law,... its not an all or nothing idea. |

This fucking big brother attitude by the over bearing Government pisses me off all the time.
When I was selling porn in the UK they kept breaking down my doors. :mad: When I'm speeding home after a night out drinking the fucking police had the fucking nerve to pull me over and breathalyse me. :mad: And when I walk down the street there are fucking policeman there. :mad: Worse still, when I go "shopping" there are cameras making sure everyone pays. :mad: My credit card number selling business is going to take a real hit if they can find me. :mad: I've already had a dozen letters about downloading videos that are free. :mad: Even CCbill want to know who I am before they process for me. :mad: Big brother is taking over and killing some of my free fun. </sarcasm> If you don't like being watched. Don't fucking do anything that requires you to be watched. |
For those who didn't read the article, there is absolutely nothing in IPv6 technically that makes it any harder to track. The whole thing is based on the premise that with more IPs available, ISPs might not keep their whois current. WTF the number of IPs has to do with updating the whois for YOUR block of IPs it doesn't say.

There has never been a state of complete freedom, it has never existed, it never will exist and if it did we'd all be in trouble. People are just arrogant enough to think that what they do matters when most of the shit we do DOES NOT. |

Brainwashed sheep like PR_Glen don't realize that without probable cause the police has no right or reason to be violating your privacy.

The police have to investigate and collect evidence on "people of interest" which is and always has to be determined by them. Otherwise it will make their job even harder to protect law abiding citizens.
If they find a site, email, comment, etc with any indication of criminal activity from piracy to 9/11 they have to have the ability and rights to investigate it. Our freedom of speech, in fact our freedom. Is protected by the police. Tamper with their abilities at your peril. |
