Now lets visit this link, and see what it reveals! AS we do this, lets keep in mind that nuclear reactors such as Entergy's Indian Point are now heavily reliant on computers...is this Federal Government example of indepth security similiar to what the NRC trots out at Public Meetings when they tell us that the computers and communications systems used in their communications with Reactor Control Rooms is safe, vital and secure? (My Commentary in Red.)
Intelink-U
DNI-U is the network infrastructure portion of the system formerly known as the Open Source Information System (OSIS). In mid 2006, the name OSIS which referred to both the network and the content was retired. The network and content portions were decoupled. The network piece is now named DNI-U while the content piece is named Intelink-U.
The DNI-U network is maintained by the DNI-CIO Intelligence Community Enterprise Services office (ICES).

What is DNI-U Remote Access (RA)?
An RA account allows any user who meets the eligibility criteria to access DNI-U network from any computer that is connected to the Internet and has a web browser that is Sockets Layer Secure Sockets Layer (i.e. SSL)-enabled.
If you are someone who needs remote access to more than web-based content, or have been instructed to download the appropriate client-based VPN desktop application, please review the download page. (A DOWNLOAD PAGE...amazing...where if you just scroll down you find this link https://www.intelink.gov/ ! Sure a good hacker would know how to come up with an acceptable way around the login/password screen?)
Do I need a DNI-U Remote Access account to access DNI-U?
It depends.
If your organization is on one of the networks listed below and you are accessing the network from within your organization's intranet, then you do not need an RA account.
- Department of State, OpenNet+
- Department of Justice, Law Enforcement OnLine
- Federal Bureau of Investigation, Unet
- Central Intelligence Agency, AIN
- Department of Defense, NIPRNET
If you are currently an OSIS RA user, then you do not need a new account.
If your organization is on one of the above networks and you want to access DNI-U from outside of your organization's intranet, then you need an RA account. (Which they tell you exactly HOW TO GET? MAKES PERFECT SENSE...NOT!)
If your organization is not listed above and you want to access DNI-U, then you need an RA account. (We shall assume here this message is talking to Al Quida? Seriously DHS, what gives? I am the uneducated, unemployed 50 something Boomer, and you guys are the SECURITY EXPERTS...what is this shit doing ONLINE and so easily accessible?)
Scenarios
You are a CIA AIN user at CIA Headquarters and want to access DNI-U. To access DNI-U, you simply log in to AIN and go to http://www.intelink.gov and you are there.
You are a CIA AIN user and want to access DNI-U from home. You will need to have an RA account and access DNI-U by going to https://www.intelink.gov and you are there.
So, if a terrorist follows the directions, requests access, and some CLERICAL PERSON, some overworked Federal Employee screws up and passes through their request, a terrorist could SIT AT HOME IN THEIR CAVE IN SAY AFGHANISTAN and cruise the http://www.interlink.gov/ files at will?
What is the eligibility criteria for obtaining an RA account?
Please review the Eligibility Criteria. LOL...see above statement. So, you even tell everyone WHAT THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA ARE? OK Joe Terrorist, when you fill out your application form (which you folks GIVE THEM) these are the criteria...we want to make sure you have the best chance possible to get past our security measures!
How do I apply for an RA account?

I'd be happy to demonstrate this fact, but only if we use a government credit card...sorry, not using my credit card to make a point with DHS.
