in the access logs showing the date and time of law enforcement access to the .49 server.
Unless I missed something, this is the only point in the document where the defense suggests that they couldn't find the log lines provided by the FBI. It seems like a weak claim, since they could have said "could not locate" or "could not find", and suggests that there could have been multiple non-.onion or non-frontend accesses to the frontend and backend servers respectively. Surely the expert would know to 'grep -v', and that should make it easy to determine any access that came from other than the prescribed addresses. This suggests that the logs contradict the claims of inaccessibility.
- cyphunk 12y agoThe defence will do well leaning more on the incompetence of the prosecution and holding their cards close. In general the system should work where the burden of proof is on the state. What they have done now is show that the configuration of the server as recorded by the FBI makes the access description of the FBI impossible. Yes they could go further to grep -v out localhost and the front-end's IP addr but they can save this to further humiliate the FBI when convenient. Imagine the prosecution now counters with some other detail they forgot to mention but the proof the defence held back humiliates them again. Do this several times and the judge will, rightfully, be disturbed at the state not disclosing the full detail of their case.
