Skunkworks Networking Cocktail - REVIEW
by Odhiambo Washington 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hello Skunks/skunklettes/skunklings, Allow me to take this opportunity to thank all those who turned up for the networking event - Skunktail. It was a pleasure meeting/greeting and placing a face/physique on the techies. In fact, it was every great that some people here were able to differentiate between me and Okechukwu. I did not know me and okech were one! (Turihamwe! LOL). I hope it was fruitful for everyone who turned up. BUT I do have a question: What happened to all those others who had confirmed (106 persons) attendance?? Was it the Friday Traffic Jam? Was it insufficient time given? Was it elsethingsome? I am just wondering because we budgeted for 100+/-10. That aside, I hope we'll still get 'sponsors' for such meets so that they can be more often. Alvin, I hope Greenline will be the next sponsor courtesy of yourself:-) Evon Wangare - we really looked forward to seein you, together with our skunkling!! Kuliendajeee?? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft."

The most probable reason is you have protected your account (Shows a padlock) and the person you have mentioned is not following you or you have not accepted their follow request so they cannot see your tweets . Set your account as unprotected and try to mention them again.. they'll see your tweets.

For the past 2 weeks, one of my servers have been hacked and slaved on a daily bases. 1. First it was from some skid network that slaved the servers for some spoofing 2. It was used for some ddos operation (against some online gaming company 3. It was someone flashing my redis keys for fun using evil redis 4. Tonight its mining quack bit coins - May be am using no protection or am having it the wrong way.

Fake stuff on Jumia
by Gachanja 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hi guys Be careful when you buy goods online even on Jumia. You will find new counterfeit items there too. Yes they sell original products like the Samsung I'm using that I got there in 2015 but they sell fake too especially accessories like power banks, earphones, chargers etc. I ordered Sony earphones for 1000 only to receive counterfeit ones that you can get for sh 150 on Luthuli Avenue. I raised the alarm on twitter and many replied with how they have received fake stuff too including clothing. Jumia replied and told me I can return them for a refund but I had already got rid of them out of frustration. I would advice visiting original physical stores like Anisuma, Nakumat and Safaricom shops. Be careful. Regards, Gachanja.

Aquila is airborne. If this is not magic, what is?
by Mwendwa Kivuva 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

I would want to hear what Ms Ebele, the Head of Public Policy for Africa at FB, has to say on plans for the marginalised. It's beautiful, and audacious too. Aquila is a solar-powered airplane that can be used to bring affordable internet to hundreds of millions of people in the hardest-to-reach places. When complete, Aquila will be able to circle a region up to 60 miles in diameter, beaming connectivity down from an altitude of more than 60,000 feet using laser communications and millimeter wave systems. Aquila is designed to be hyper efficient, so it can fly for up to three months at a time. The aircraft has the wingspan of an airliner, but at cruising speed it will consume only 5,000 watts — the same amount as three hair dryers, or a high-end microwave. See the Youtube video: https://youtu.be/eOez_Hk80TI Regards ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya twitter.com/lordmwesh

This guys are normally in Citi hoppa buses. They work very closely with the conductors. Double m and KBS buses know them and are very wary on let them board their buses. According to my research this are the guys who do carjackings and other violent crimes at night but are pick pockets during the day. Take note of their MO (mode of operation) below: 1. They are in a group of 4 or 5. 2. They are all middle aged men with bloodshot eyes. 3. They are usually dressed in casual clothes,( jeans, t-shirt, casuals shirts and sweat shirts) 4. They stake out a victim who is not wary of his/her surroundings, especially people on a call, or deep in conversation with a seatmate or just absent minded. 5. They fein having dropped a coin or keys. In all they conduct a surgical operation and have strength in numbers to back each other up in case of a confrontation.

Re: [Skunkworks] Lions Den Kenya seeking to indentify local entrepreneuers
by Tony White 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

FYI... (there was a form to apply, but the list doesn't like big emails :( ) ------------------------------------------ From: Ninel Musson <nmusson(a)africanleadershipnetwork.com> Date: 19 July 2016 at 17:04:24 EAT To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Lions Den Kenya seeking to identify local entrepreneurs Hello, Lions Den Kenya will launch this August and aim to identifying innovative, exciting, and promising businesses, designs, products or ideas in Kenya. Do you know of any great entrepreneurial ventures that should participate in this local version of the show? If you do, please encourage them to apply! Winners will not only receive investment in their business ideas, but also mentorship, access to influential networks, and other forms of support. The show is a spin-off of the popular Dragons’ Den/Shark Tank programme in the United States, and will feature prominent and successful African business leaders as the judges and mentors (‘Lions’). To apply, please visit bankika.co.ke/lionsden/join and submit the attached form by no later than July 24th. In each episode of the show, exciting new ideas are presented and the panelists grill the contestants on the appeal of the product or business idea and the viability of their business plans and projections. Lions battle each other as well as the contestants to determine who gets what. The rewards for the competitors are substantial – a sizeable investment in their company and a leading East African entrepreneur as a partner in their business. In parts of the world, some of the companies that the Lions’ Den have invested in have gone onto become million dollar enterprises. The Lions themselves help build successful businesses and profit from their strategic investments. In addition the show has an intrinsic educational value. New business ideas are analyzed and dissected. The panelists interrogate the competitors and determine whether their ideas make sound business sense. This forms the basis on whether they decide to invest in a venture. For more information visit bankika.co.ke/lionsden. If you any questions please feel free to reach out!

I think second hand market is the biggest drive for this vice. If there is one thing one can personally do to improve this world, it's never ever buy second hand hardware from anybody you don't know.

Worse still is they use their masculine advantage over the woman and you can find your self stripped literary and of course of your dignity to make sure you will not raise your voice again or alarm. My sister lost her wallet like that. They drop keys, coins, shout warning signs like "karau" for you to look for seat belts so that they can make oyu lose concentration and most of the time they are never armed. they are always in cahoots with the mat drives, conductors and cops. My friend was once threatened for insisting to report the at kilimani. Yes they even offered to take her to the cop station assuring her that they would be out in 30 mins tops. As a campus student 10 years ago i fell prey to one such a gang and since then i learned to be wary and aware of my circumstances. Once In my folly a few years later, I was expecting my First born i went head to head with such a gang on Waiyaki way since i decided i will not change matatus. I was too hungry, tired and hormonal. Turns out they were armed. Thank God for letting them alight half way through the journey without harming us.

They are known I believe to the police and the conductors. Some years back, they tried the drop coin on me so that they could snatch my neighbors phone. Told them I cannot see it. so the main guy asked me to get up from my seat so that he can look for his coin.

Fwd: [CCWG-ACCT] Speech by Larry Strickling
by Barrack Otieno 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Listers, Quite and interesting piece from the Assistant Secretary Larry Strickling on the IANA transition. It is worth reading if you are interested in Internet Governance. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Disspain <chris(a)disspain.id.au> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 09:15:52 +1000 Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Speech by Larry Strickling To: Accountability Cross Community <accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org> All, FYI below the text of a speech Assistant Secretary Strickling just gave at the IGF-USA. Video at https://www.igf-usa.org/igf-usa-2106-live-video/ <https://www.igf-usa.org/igf-usa-2106-live-video/> Cheers, Chris Remarks of Lawrence E. Strickling Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information The Internet Governance Forum USA Washington, D.C. July 14, 2016 --As Prepared for Delivery-- I come here today to speak out for freedom. Specifically, Internet freedom. I come here to speak out for free speech and civil liberties. I come here to speak out in favor of the transition of the U.S. government’s stewardship of the domain name system to the global multistakeholder community. And I come here to speak out against what former NTIA Administrator John Kneuer has so aptly called the “hyperventilating hyperbole” that has emerged since ICANN transmitted the consensus transition plan to us last March. Protecting Internet freedom and openness has been a key criterion for the IANA transition from the day we announced it in March 2014. The best way to preserve Internet freedom is to depend on the community of stakeholders who own and operate, transact business and exchange information over the myriad of networks that comprise the Internet. Free expression is protected by the open, decentralized nature of the Internet, the neutral manner in which the technical aspects of the Internet are managed and the commitment of stakeholders to maintain openness. Freedom House reported that “Internet freedom around the world has declined for the fifth consecutive year ...” Its prescription for defending Internet freedom is to encourage the U.S. government to “complet[e] the transition to a fully privatized Domain Name System.” What will not be effective to protect Internet freedom is to continue the IANA functions contract. That contract is too limited in scope to be a tool for protecting Internet freedom. It simply designates ICANN to perform the technical IANA functions of managing the database of protocol parameters, allocating IP numbers and processing changes to the root zone file. It does not grant NTIA any authority over ICANN’s day-to-day operations or the organization’s accountability to the stakeholder community. The transition plan goes beyond any authority that NTIA or the U.S. government has today by enhancing the power of stakeholders to ensure ICANN’s accountability. For example, the U.S. government has no ability to reject an ICANN budget or to remove an ICANN board member—two of the new enumerated community powers. Extending the contract, as some have asked us to do, could actually lead to the loss of Internet freedom we all want to maintain. The potential for serious consequences from extending the contract beyond the time necessary for ICANN to complete implementation of the transition plan is very real and has implications for ICANN, the multistakeholder model and the credibility of the United States in the global community. Privatizing the domain name system has been a goal of Democratic and Republican administrations since 1997. Prior to our 2014 announcement to complete the privatization, some governments used NTIA’s continued stewardship of the IANA functions to justify their demands that the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union or some other body of governments take control over the domain name system. Failing to follow through on the transition or unilaterally extending the contract will only embolden authoritarian regimes to intensify their advocacy for government-led or intergovernmental management of the Internet via the United Nations. Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and retired Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff James Cartwright recently noted in Politico that rejecting or even delaying the transition would be a gift to those governments threatened by a free and open Internet. The Global Commission on Internet Governance, a group of leading experts from around the world, echoed this message by recently calling on the U.S. Government to adopt the proposal and to meet the September 2016 target date for the transition of the IANA functions. Failure to do so, the Commission said, would “send the wrong message to the international community, increase distrust, and will likely encourage some governments to pursue their own national or even regional Internets.” Over the past two years, the global Internet community, comprised of businesses, technical experts, public interest groups and governments, has engaged in one of the most compelling demonstrations of a multistakeholder process ever undertaken. The transition plan is a thoughtful proposal that was developed through consensus over two years by hundreds of stakeholders around the world. Stakeholders spent more than 26,000 working hours on the proposal, exchanged more than 33,000 messages on mailing lists, held more than 600 meetings and calls and incurred millions of dollars of legal fees. Given the intensive level of effort that went into constructing the transition plan and obtaining support for it from all parts of the ICANN community, it is no surprise that the community supports the transition and wants to see the United States follow through on its long-standing, bipartisan commitment to privatize the domain name system. I realize that the transition raises many important questions. None are more important than the ones we asked in March 2014 when we laid out the criteria for the transition. We said then that the plan must: support and enhance the multistakeholder model of Internet governance; maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS; meet the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; and maintain the openness of the Internet. In addition, we said we would not accept a plan that replaced NTIA’s role with a government-led or intergovernmental organization solution. Upon the community’s completion of the plan, NTIA led an intensive interagency review to ensure the plan met these criteria. On June 9, we found that the plan satisfied each and every one of our criteria. We also evaluated the proposal against relevant internal control principles, as recommended by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). We separately engaged a panel of corporate governance experts to review the ICANN accountability proposal. The experts concluded that the proposal is consistent with sound principles of good governance. Despite the open and transparent two-year process that developed the plan, the many pages of documentation provided by the community to describe and support the plan, and the exhaustive review we conducted, misperceptions and outright misrepresentations about the plan continue to circulate. I will use the remainder of my time to correct the record on many of these claims. Among the most persistent misconceptions is that we are giving away the Internet. First off, we do not control the Internet. It is simply not true, and people who really understand the Internet know it is not true. No one controls the Internet. The Internet is a network of networks that operates with the cooperation of stakeholders around the world. The most significant operational change required by the transition is to end the largely clerical role NTIA plays in reviewing updates to the root zone file. Even more extreme (and wrong) is the claim that we are giving the Internet away to Russia, China, and other authoritarian governments that want to censor content on the Internet. No one has set forth even a plausible scenario as to how that could happen, and the fact is it simply will not happen as a result of completing the transition. Within ICANN, the transition proposal does not expand the role of governments vis-à-vis other stakeholders. The bylaws retain the prohibition on government officials serving as voting board members. The role of governments in ICANN policymaking remains advisory. Under the proposal, governments will continue through the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) to provide input to the Board in the normal course of business. As is currently the case, the Board is free to reject GAC advice. Today, the Board does give special consideration to consensus GAC advice. The transition proposal codifies current practice through a bylaw change that defines consensus as agreement to which no one formally objects. Now it is true that under the proposal, the threshold for rejecting such GAC consensus advice does increase from 50 percent to 60 percent. However, given the codification of “consensus” in the bylaws, this standard only applies to advice from governments to which no government, including the United States, has objected. The GAC has the potential to participate in the Empowered Community, but only at a level commensurate with other stakeholders. Notably, the GAC cannot unilaterally exercise the community powers. Moreover, the bylaws expressly prohibit the GAC from participating in the community powers when the issue in contention is a Board action on GAC advice. Some argue that authoritarian countries are not going to give up their goal of having governments control the domain name system and that the United States is daft for thinking that this transition will change those countries. We would be silly if we thought that, but that has never been our goal. We have never thought we would persuade authoritarian regimes that our view of the Internet is the best approach, but what matters is what the rest of the world thinks. There we have made great progress over the last few years. At the ITU’s World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai in 2012, 89 countries joined in a resolution to expand the authority of the ITU relative to Internet issues. The United States was in the minority that day. However, since then, we have worked hard with countries in the developing world to build support for the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. Due in part to our transition announcement and due in part to focused diplomacy of the U.S. government coordinated by the State Department, we have made a lot of progress, as represented by the fact that almost 30 of those 89 countries have now demonstrated their support for multistakeholder governance of the domain name system by joining in the Governmental Advisory Committee’s consensus position to move the transition proposal forward. Another claim now making the rounds is that the transition plan is a radical proposal that is being rushed through by the Obama Administration. How can anyone call a longstanding bipartisan policy to privatize the Internet radical? The direction to privatize the domain name system goes back nearly twenty years. The community spent two years to develop its plan. No one rushed the community effort. To the contrary, we extended the contract for a year when the community said it needed more time to complete its work. Nothing is being rushed here and to suggest otherwise is to ignore the facts. Another false claim is the fear that ICANN will move its headquarters abroad once the transition is complete and “flee” the reach of U.S. law. However, this ignores the fact that the stakeholder community has spent the last two years building an accountability regime for ICANN that at its core relies on California law and on ICANN to remain a California corporation. ICANN’s own bylaws confirm that “the principal office for the transaction of the business of ICANN shall be in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America.” ICANN’s Board cannot change this bylaw over the objection of the stakeholder community. Additionally, ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation already state that ICANN “is organized under California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law.” Changes to the Articles of Incorporation now require support of a 75 percent majority of the empowered community. ICANN is a California corporation and will remain so. Other claims keep popping up and I do not have time today to correct every misstatement being made about the transition. For example, after living for two years under an appropriations restriction that prohibits us from using appropriated funds to relinquish our responsibility for the domain name system, it is now asserted that this restriction prevents us even from reviewing the transition plan. Yet this claim ignores the fact that at the same time Congress approved the restriction, it also directed NTIA "to conduct a thorough review and analysis of any proposed transition" and to provide quarterly reports on the process to Congress. In the last couple of weeks, I have heard new concerns about the possible antitrust liability of a post-transition ICANN. However, this concern ignores the fact that ICANN in its policymaking activities has always been and will continue to be subject to antitrust laws. I could go on but let me close with some observations on the multistakeholder process. There is no question that within ICANN, the last two years have strengthened the multistakeholder model as it is practiced there. Moreover, the accomplishments of the process at ICANN are serving as a powerful example to governments and other stakeholders of how to use the process to reach consensus on the solutions to complex and difficult issues. However, as we work toward completing the transition, we must recognize that the multistakeholder model will continue to face challenges. It is important that we remain dedicated to demonstrating our support and respect for the multistakeholder approach in all the venues where it is used. We do not show respect for the multistakeholder process when we wait until the process is over and the community has reached consensus and then propose a two-year trial of the plan without ever asking the community to consider such an option. We do not show respect for the multistakeholder process when we do not participate for two years and then afterwards say we preferred an option that the community considered and rejected. Closer to home, here at the IGF-USA, we need to respect the process by working to expand participation beyond the Beltway and to support the inclusion of new stakeholders on a nationwide basis in an open, transparent, and inclusive manner. This kind of growth requires a strong foundation, which is why NTIA supports the work of the IGF-USA’s new Sustainability Working Group. This group is working to develop a governance structure to guide the organizational process and to ensure that there is diverse, inclusive and multistakeholder engagement. In closing, thanks to all of you for your interest and involvement in IGF-USA and in the IANA transition. I want to particularly thank those of you here today who actually contributed your time, effort, and creativity to reaching consensus on the IANA transition plan. Your hard work and dedication has been truly inspiring. Thank you for listening. -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

Listers, Before the dust clears on the proposed ICT Practitioners Bill, it is appropriate to highlight the the following: ICTAK’s actions are hardly novel and merely highlight a growing trend towards rent-seeking activities by both statutory and non-statutory entities at the expense of our hard-earned liberty. I found the following on the Computer Society of Kenya website (http://www.cskonline.org/training/accredited-computer-training-colleges) "For a college to be recognized as an ICT Training Institution and its Internal Certification to be recognized, the institution needs to be accredited by CSK and given the mandate to offer CSK Curriculum and Exams. CSK Member Companies consider anyone looking for internship,attachment or employment with CSK certificate more than any other examining body and an internal certificate from unaccredited college,regardless of facilities and expertise of the training team is simply considered invalid. Note: Accreditation does not server as an alternative for registering your entity with the relevant government ministries. Check wether your college is accredited below. *If not your internal certification may be considered invalid afterwards. Students have a right to enquire why their college is not among the list of accredited colleges below, and the management should take a step and contact CSK for accreditation as soon as possible. If your college is accredited and its not appearing below contact CSK immediately.* Producing relevant documents and dates of accreditation. Newly added Institutions may appear differently for a short period of time as the data propagates in our database. For more information email: training(a)cskonline.org or contact us.” (emphasis added) CSK understands that it is “… a membership community representing Kenya’s ICT community…” (http://www.cskonline.org/membership/overview) but the above wording is tantamount to compelling ICT training institutions to be accredited by CSK (“…the management should take a step and contact CSK for accreditation as soon as possible...”), which violates ICT training institutions’ rights (under Article 36 (2) of the Constitution of Kenya (“a person shall not be compelled to join an association of any kind”). While gaining accreditation and joining are not equivalent, the statement conveys a mandatory requirement involving substantial unnecessary costs. To the best of my knowledge CSK has no legal mandate to make such claims. It would be helpful if CSK could clarify its position on the above. In particular, given my understanding of its standing as a society, it should clarify that: - CSK member companies are under no compulsion to only hire students examined from CSK-accredited ICT training institutions (in fact, it would not be in their best interests to confine their hiring to this class); - accreditation of ICT institutions is not a legal requirement for validation of internal certifications i.e. ICT training institutions can choose to disregard CSK accreditation without fear of adverse consequences i.e. it might be desirable but is not mandatory; - while students have a right to enquire whether ICT training institutions are accredited it does not necessarily invalidate their certifications; - the claim "CSK member companies consider anyone … more than any other examining body” is stated without any evidence and amounts to fearmongery; I would be happy to be corrected if I am in error.

@tony "> there are clauses for that e.g page 10. Despite subsections (1) and (2), the activities described in thereof do not constitute an offence if — (a) any act intended for the authorised training, testing or protection of a computer system; or (b) the use of a program or a computer password, access code, or similar data is undertaken in compliance of and in accordance with the terms of a judicial order issued or in exercise of any power under this Act or any law On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 9:18 PM, <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:16:35 +0300 > From: Tony White <tony.mzungu(a)gmail.com> > To: Walubengo J <jwalu(a)yahoo.com>, KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions > <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> > Cc: ISOC Kenya Chapter <isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke>, Skunkworks forum > <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke>, "\[Security Forum\]" > <security(a)lists.my.co.ke> > Subject: > > Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] Cybercrime Bill 2016 > Message-ID: > < > CANpB6uCFzmM09TqsVOHskr95U+NTnc409zTrS1KdcHUCYM7OxA(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > I have read through the bill, and - although I am not a lawyer - it > looks like it has been well thought out and makes sense (unlike > *another* recent bill!). > > My main concern, with this (or any other) bill, is where it may be > open to abuse, intimidation, and/or corruption.
