Julian Assange's Online Dating Profile Leaked 334

Ponca City writes "The Telegraph reports that an online dating profile created by Julian Assange in 2006 has been unearthed from OKCupid disclosing that the WikiLeaks editor sought 'spirited, erotic' women 'from countries that have sustained political turmoil.' Writing under the pseudonym of British science fiction author Harry Harrison, Assange described himself as a 'passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual.' Assange said he was seeking a 'siren for [a] love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy' adding that he was 'directing a consuming, dangerous human rights project which is, as you might expect, male dominated' and added enigmatically: 'I am DANGER, ACHTUNG.' Among Assange's listed interests were the 'structure of reality' and 'chopping up human brains' – although he added the caveat '(neuroscience background)' lest the latter put off potential admirers. 'I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil,' Assange wrote. 'Western culture seems to forge women that are valueless and inane. OK. Not only women!'"

I work for a web design brisbane company called Kintek. Interesting, however it still uses wincap which means its actually sniffing the LAN packets or ARP poisoning to see other users insecure data correct? Most websites dont re-direct you to https before asking you to login which basically means your login details are sent insecurely over the LAN before they get to the internet.

Theres a cool tool which lets you see all this already called Cain and Abel: http://www.oxid.it/cain.html

Using ARP poisioning you can actually man in the middle anyone on a LAN unless they use https or anti ARP poisoning tools.

The real security threat will probably come down to sniffing mobile phone 3G data. And I wonder whats possible in that realm. If you can send it you can receive it, and I doubt its encrypted well enough to prevent reading, especially when the Police want the ability to pick messages out of the airALA The Wire. :)
