[-- PGP output follows (current time: Fri Jun 7 13:45:05 2002) --] gpg: Signature made Fri Jun 7 13:44:59 2002 CEST using DSA key ID DEADBEEF gpg: Good signature from "Olaf Kirch <okir () caldera de>" [-- End of PGP output --] [-- The following data is signed --] Spoofing unaware PGP users can be simple. I am sure you all noticed that this message isn't PGP signed at all, but I guess there's quite a number of people who won't immediately notice. Of course, this sort of spoof will only work on mailers such as mutt where you cannot clearly tell PGP output from message content (and you have to pay attention to other cues, such as the "s" flag shown in the mail folder listing). Olaf -- Olaf Kirch | Anyone who has had to work with X.509 has probably okir () caldera de | experienced what can best be described as ------------------+ ISO water torture. -- Peter Gutmann [-- End of signed data --]
