you need a degree in any discipline that cuts me out straight away, what’s worse is that I don’t have the brains, will power or money to waste my time getting a degree for any job now.

i’ve reached that stage of my life where i’m unwilling to deal with unreasonable people

I’m in…as long as they don’t look at my library uni record, I’d come across as some femnazi communist chemical manufacturing nut bag.

They’ve already got a thick file on my family, so I should be a shoe-in for the job.

I want the job of the person who does all the background checks on all the new recruits

I’m surprised that wookie isn’t already running ASIO.

How do you know he isn’t, this forum is full of dissidents he could be keeping an eye on plus with us all being excellent drivers we could chase spies and catch them easily

As an excellent non-driver, I’ll catch the ones who are catching the bus.
Bubbles can catch the ones on ze bicycles.

Prolly won’t need background checks tto work that out?

I’ve said too much already.

who says i’m not

whose brilliant idea do you think it was to make the ASIO building from glass?

extra good when a car bomb goes off outside because it creates millions of pieces of sharp shrapnel

It’s glass because we have a transparent government

“During the Intelligence Development Program, Intelligence Officers will earn between $77,508 and $91,268 plus 15.4% superannuation. Following graduation you will earn between $85,678 and $96,535”

Not bad for training, but it’s a bit poor once your operational.

They’d probably want me to shave so I’ll pass.

just make a bit of money on the side selling some low level intelligence to the north Koreans or something

Australian law enforcement and intelligence services have been in secret talks with an Italian-based surveillance company notorious for helping repressive states like Sudan spy on their own citizens, according to leaked emails published by Wikileaks.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-10/leaked-emails-expose-australian-government-agencies-hacking-team/6609276

The leak emerged after the Milan-based cyber security company had itself fallen victim to a cyber attack earlier this week with nearly 440 gigabytes of their internal data uploaded to the internet

ha ha fuck you

avoid conversing with yourself then.

There used to be a saying amongst our intelligence partners:

“Do you want it done right, or do you want ASIO to do it?”

Which is not to say that they thought ASIO entirely useless. There are occasions when a bumbling, Inspector Clouseau method of operation might suit your purposes – when you want them to know that you know.

Apparently, having ASIO do it would infallibly ensure that they knew.

The Dead Horse Theory of Bureaucracy

The tribal wisdom of the Plains Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that
“When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the beststrategy is to dismount.”

However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training toincrease the dead horse’s performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s
performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not haveto be fed, it is less costly, carries lower
overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the
economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
And of course
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

I know one person who until recently worked for ASIO. He loves solving puzzles of all kinds, such as jigsaw puzzles, eternity puzzle, word puzzles, I think that helps.

Whereas the Bletchley Park recruiters, contrary to popular expectations , found such traits to be irrelevant.

It was the ability to spot patterns and consistency/inconsistency that they found most useful, and i believe that such holds good for much ‘intelliegence’ work to this day.

turing realised the Germans were always banging on about the weather so part of the message could be expected to contain the word “ wetter”.

if I were passing messages I’d just throw some junk into the message like adding a number or double up the wrong vowel so the message is readable but garbled to code crackers.

by rights you could probably crack any code by brute force, by using fast powerful computers

If you haven’t read it already, you should read ‘The Code Breakers’ by David Kahn.

It’s a massive tome, but well worth the effort, and a great introduction to cryptography and cryptology, from where you can move to more esoteric sources.

You’ll find that all of the practices you suggest, and many others besides, have been in use for centuries.

As for ‘powerful computers’: the American NSA has the biggest and most advanced computer systems in the world. Most advances in computing technology stem from their needs and purposes.

you probably need to have some “ quantum entanglement “ system

make the channel secure if the code can be broken
