Windows 8 NSA Spying`

Posted on 2013-08-23 by Paul Sutton

German Government Warns Not to Use Windows 8- Links NSA to Your Computer

 

This was posted to the dclug list and has been posted here to the groups blog

What this needs is verification via a 2nd and ideally 3rd source,  all good research uses several sources for information.

Makes interesting reading.

In the meantime

Just switch,   There has been claims for years (well before 9/11) that there is a back door for the NSA in Windows,  so it seems that this rumour is now coming back but this time there is more evidence for it being there,   without the source code to windows and independent checks we will never know and MS are hardly going to hand over their source code any time soon to independent checkers.

What else happened

Raymond had a DOS batfile listing of a program to parse / search his telephone listing files, and wanted help to find a way to do the same thing in bash.

I sort of guessed this could be done with

DOS VS LINUX

find vs Grep

echo vs cat

Thought the following may be helpful
