We talk about major threats to security, mainly focussed on future threats and the reaction from security services. Some keywords are: Nuclear proliferation, robotic warfare, technology regulation, surveillance state, bioterrorism, and omniviolence.SubscribePocket CastsSpotifyStitcherApple PodcastsOvercastGoogle PodcastsPlayerFMYouTubeShow NotesSection I Future of SecurityIntroduction: Emotional Reach, Classifying the Population, Keeping the Legitimacythe crimes they battle against, which ones are ignored.street robberies, etc.public image.empathize with the victim (child abuse, burglary).with assault of a 20-30 year old man, than with the elderly, women,or children.behind the police, …and that is used for higher surveillance.Child pornography is the abdomination of the 21st century.etc, undermindes the belief in the state. Other crimes do not affectthe trust so much, i.e. insurance fraud. Nobody’s sorry about bigcorporations being scammed.Systemic Risk Categories: Crimes That MatterFirst Exampledivide Good states from Bad States.UdSSR, because of Proliferation.Material, Technology, Warheads. Sensor Networks to detect nuclearmaterial (isotope scanners).Soviet, US, Plane incidents over Mediterrean Sea).Bombs (not all recovered).likely to actually use them (cannot be retrieved).territory (hollowed out state): Iran, Afghanistan, Mexico.it: where is it from, maintenance, deploy (actors who followthrough, reliable remote triggers), maybe a lot of the old warheadsare not usable (physical trigger method is lost).Second ExampleCartels, MS-13, Triads, etc).of immunity and souvereignity.organizations and pure criminal organizations.institutions: corruption, blackmail, threats.thus the political head becomes just an illusion of power (Mexico,Miami in the 80s, etc).Third ExampleAttacks (Sarin Gas).hard and too early to tell.unlimited transmission, contagion risks high (better: easy tocontain, infectious chain are short and unstable).are non-attributable. Exceptions: doomsday sects, radicalenvironmentalists.Wrap-Up Section Isupported crimes.travels, cheap organization and management technologies, cheapcommunication), also a part of globalization.criminals: random criminals, child pornography.really problematic, because it became cheap and easy (all you needis a mobile phone).Section II Dystopian SideCybercrime, Robotic Warfare, Omniviolencedarknet and Aliexpress.be very smart, you randomly target victims, plus degree ofseperation (=every idiot can become a phisher).efficient organizations are possible (Paul LeRoux).access to cheap and easy components (Shenzhen), low morals,power-hungry individuals.systemic risks to countries, maybe entire planet (Example: nuclearand bio weapons).working on it. Threat becomes increasingly realistic, while notbeing trivial to deal with, or understand. Thing that is most likelyto shape the future.explosive inside, plus facial recognition (ESP32 development kit).generation: DJi RoboMaster-s1, educational toy for children,available today. Already has face and object recognition, autonomyfeatures.realistic.smart, and there happens to be a huge technological toolbox toselect from. Given it enough intelligence, and enough energy, drive,and goals, you can be really dangerous these days.dystopian world where the whole system is focussed on preventingomniviolence.regulating technology.Drugs and Butterfliesillegal drugs, and an unrealistic dream.marketed as rebellion,… (they) don’t help you to become an actualrebel, and actually being effective.(you are being seen and heard, aurelians and lepidopterists, andyour work matters).Preventive detentionprevent crime in the future.”away (Gustl Mollath).prevent crimes? Social and economic consequences.Surveillance, Cryptography, and Regulationsdata, nudging.networks (health: predict illnesses), can also be used to predictbehavior.increase their security status (international trend).(EU, some US states).skin. AI training sets are mostly light-skinned.racial bias, easy thing to give up (it’s commercialized already, seeClearView AI).Recognition Spiders (原谅宝官方 yuanliang bao guanfang,https://pornstarbyface.com/, https://deepmindy.com/)drone sector.average joe is hard.implementing cryptographic systems by people who are not specializedin that, usually goes wrong. It’s really hard to build securecryptographic software, even with libraries out there, etc.pharmarcies.technology (regulating both components and knowledge).prevented by total surveillance combined with AI. (Bostrom:Vulnerable World Paper)potentially threatening tech, without actually understanding orknowing what this tech is.life quality.VR goggles on.from getting anywhere in life.access, social scoring systems (today mostly reactive).bad, adjust access to technology. (Ender’s Game pilots)licenses. Where does the reliability score come from? Future mightbe more automated.pilot and weapon licenses. If you have a lot of points, they won’tgive you the license.needed.deploying surveillance is cranked up.neighborhoods, limit travel within city, using drones, using CCTVcameras to check masks and temperature, booking details, locationtracking, etc.pandemic.huge population is going down.grenade launchers, automatically engaged.SGR-A1, Hankook Mirae Method-2?)or flying into target.weapon technology for killing people.Section III Less Dystopian SideFrank and Smuggler answering your questions!their nym used in legal documents or at their work place? Is that arealistic goal?clandestine purchasing. For example, do 3D printers have hiddentracking codes like paper printers? Discussing details on aquiringsomething like this with a pre-paid credit card and how to ship itto a non-attributate address would be cool.shipments by mail. Not necessarily very illegal items, but maybeitems you just don’t want to receive at an attributable adress andthat are larger than what fits in a standard letterbox. How toreceive things in another name and where with the least amount oftrouble and risk?drop-operations and otherwise? What methods are effective? How oftenworn outside the TAZ?OS?proxy) has the most tactical technical capacity for attacks anddefense?is outdated and US-centric.
