Does anyone know anything about cryptome.org?

I ran across it a while back (their archives go back to 1996). There are many documents there, spreadsheets, etc. The titles seem to include all sorts of things, Guccifer 1.0 (the original?), Guccifer 2.0, Wikileak leaks....
I found this site when I ran across a document and traced it back. This is quite a document, lots of very interesting reading material, very well organized. Wow, just wow. I haven't done much exploring at the source site, but I expect it's quite a treasure trove for curious people like us.

It appears to be exactly what it looks like
An archive if all kinds of behind the scenes stuff. Looks like a great find.

Looks like daytime reading, not 3:20AM.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing this! Started reading it, (which was probably a bad idea at 2 AM, lol,) and will have to finish reading it tomorrow. Maybe this will wake up anyone who's not really absorbed what's at stake in this election. One more corporate representative getting into the US Presidency will represent the passing of the last chance to do this peacefully and politically and voting for evil is always a bad idea, as we see by results.
If this global hostile corporate take-over isn't stopped now and self-interests immediately taken out of politics and policy, life on Earth is done for and we'll likely be facing our own civil forces and military might in its dying, unless our police, various agencies and armies all or at least predominately place their oaths to protect we, the people, over their superiors and whatever brainwashing they may have been subjected to. The US hasn't had much luck with their own civil forces and agencies so far, though, and NAFTA allows for a trade-off of forces between Canada and the US, so that they are not asked to attack their own citizens. FSM knows what's been arranged to go through in other Fast-Tracked corporate coups and he'd really rather they didn't get passed.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
According to wikipedia, it's like a spin off of wikileaks
by two disgruntled wikileaks employees. Kind of a checkered past. It's had a couple instances of it being hacked resulting in content material containing malware. Probably worth reading wikipedia if you plan to use it.

Good to be warned.
I picked up malware somewhere, and Wikileaks was a possibility. I never isolated exactly who/where/when and my security software found it.

Been lurking since the primaries, I registered here just to help people understand this...
Cryptome is NOT a spin-off of Wikileaks, nor is it really a "leak" site like WL. It actually predates WL by at least a decade, and faced a lot of harassment during the Ashcroft era. It is mainly US-centric unlike Wikileaks, although they do have a sister site that deals with China.
Cryptome generally specializes in publishing interesting declassified or FOIA'ed documents that would otherwise get zero notice in the press. A lot of what they publish is merely "interesting" from an intelligence perspective -- sort of a curtain drawn back that helps civilians better understand what happens in the often mundane intelligence world. They also sometimes post documents that call attention to infrastructure weaknesses that aren't getting noticed by the media.
As you would expect, both Cryptome and Wikileaks have been attacked numerous times. Each has been infected once (as far as we know), which is a better record than many mainstream sites. The NYT, Forbes, and many other sites perceived as "safe" have all unknowingly distributed viruses through their ad networks.
The materials at Cryptome are worth delving into -- lots of interesting stuff there. If you're concerned about security, as you always should be, you should use a spare or old computer (or the library!) to view the site.
Yes. Cryptome was a CT site long before CT was cool.
Worth poking around (carefully of course).
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
There's nothing "CT" about it
There's nothing "CT" about it. Cryptome publishes primary source documents. There is very seldom any commentary at all; the reader can draw their own conclusions from the material.
You say CT...
like it's a bad thing.
It may not have its own editorial content, but it was a valuable go-to site for non-mainstream analysts long before Wikileaks made that kind of thing fashionable.
