All I have to say is get a fucking warrant like the constitution you swore an oath to requires! Once they have a warrant, a specific one at that (as opposed to a general or blanket one), and then use of these tools is ok. I understand they got a warrant for the server, but theydidnt get warrants for each user like they should have, so unless I am missing something, it's blatantly unconstitutional. This is where some beltway establishment stenographers would say "but it was thousands, warrants would take too long!" Well tough fucking shit, you still have to get a warrant for each IP. Unless there is some legal precedent someone wants to cite to me, which I have yet to see. Mark my words, cp and terrorism and cyberterrorism (read: major bank hacks) are the things going to be used to increase the surveillance of the internet. If we dont stand up for the rights even of horrible people, its a slippery slope that will, not might bite us in the ass later. First they came for the people who clicked on url shortners, etc. Shit hell, I wouldnt be surprised if the FBI used this fishnet to spearphish people that had nothing to do with the site so they became targets. eg: Send that pesky dissident an email with a link to this so that they pop on the autocomprimise tool and voila, dissident surveillance engine disguised as good guy cp catching program. On a side note, I did some pretty extensive forensics training to be able to testify about stuff like this, and you would be utterly amazed at how many of the other "forensics specialists" were utterly incompetent. (for example, not knowing any other fs than ntfs...)
