     This site is mostly about security, hence "Under the Radar".  I have 
a theory that the whole concept of hiding in plain site... Is bunk.  
The idea that you can let people know who and where you are, but they 
know nothing because all your transmissions and files are encrypted.  Even 
whole notion of trying to make the most unbreakable code is falable.  
 
    The coders creating the encryption code are really just a bunch of 
esoteric idiots looking to out-do each other.  

    That's fine, just leave me out of it.

    This isn't to say that encryption is bad.  On the contrary, it 
succeeds in protecting your data to an extent.  But encryption gives the 
user a false sense of security.

    But do you really believe that PGP or GPG will protect your e-mails?

    The truth is, it's just topical security. Security that is easily 
brushed aside.  Think about it. You have a public and private key.  
Where is your private key?  99% of the people 
(my own conjectured statement mind you...) who use PGP keep their 
key on their computer.  If "Big Brother" really suspects you're up to 
something, they just get a hold of your computer...  You're key is 
right there... And in a short amount of time, its cracked wide open like a 
holiday chestnut.

   
   THEORY


   So I've come up with my own theory, and I call it "Staying Under the 
Radar".  It refers to someone who is hiding in plain sight.  Someone who 
uses encryption not to deter the mightiest of all code breakers... I'm 
under the assumption that this can not be done.  Just like we do not know 
the extent of an images resolution from a modern day spy satelite, we also 
do not know the capabilities of the modern day super computers and coders 
who make these possible.

   New government inventions placed at ISP sites read and track e-mails, 
flag them for later review.  There are even GPL versions for anyone to 
download!

  
   SOLUTION

   A web portal, the future of the internet, that utilizes flat file 
databases for ultimate portability, blowfish encryption of databases, 
secured login, and ssl for sending of information.

   What does this do?  A web portal allows you and other to converse over 
the internet without sending e-mails, whereby bypassing all pop servers.  
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is not needed but will encrypt transmission from 
your computer to the server.

   The flat file database is fully encrypted with the blowfish algorythm, 
but is unencrypted with the portal script, therefore the reader never 
notices anything different.  The encrypted / decryption is done with a 
removable key.  No key... the site is worthless.

   Instant messages can be sent back and forth between members on this 
server... again, no e-mails.  The instant messages are also encrypted but 
with a different key.  The key is that users login password.  Therefore 
only the user can unencrypt the message.

   This portal would use a flat file database, allowing for simple and 
easy transfer of all files from one fly-by-night free server to another, 
all done with out notice.

   The login screen is just that... a log in screen.  Nothing else.  No 
names, no images, nothing to tip anyone off with what's behind the scenes.

   All mis-logins are caught / labeled and reported to the admin of the 
portal.

   All hack attempts via HTTP are caught / labeled / reported and the 
user's IP is banned.  This way even if a member tries to do more, they are 
caught. 

   This is what "Under the Radar" is all about.
