chased after the shooters.

He was later

found murdered here.

Gradually there was an increase...

To put it cynically,

luckily for us,

terrorism increased.

Why do I say that?

Because now we had work

and we stopped dealing with

the Palestinian state.

Understand?

Of course.

As soon as we stopped dealing

with the Palestinian state

and started dealing

with terrorism,

terror became more

sophisticated. So did we.

Suddenly we had a lot of work

in Gaza and the West Bank,

and overseas, too,

so we forgot about

the Palestinian issue.

In Nablus then, wherever

you threw a rock,

there was either

a cat or a terrorist.

Some nights we arrested

hundreds of people.

PERY. We'd take

over a village

and gather all the

men in the square,

usually by the mosque

or in a schoolyard.

We used the

"identifier" technique.

Terrorists who confessed

would be put in a vehicle.

The windows had curtains

and they wore masks.

We'd sit them there,

and the villagers passed

beside the vehicle,

and they'd tell us,

"He's a terrorist

who trained in Syria,"

"He's a terrorist who

got back from Jordan. "

Not everyone cooperated,

but we usually

had a good catch.

Back then, most

intelligence was based on HUMINT,

HUMan INTelligence

we got in two ways.

Either from our agents or the

interrogation of prisoners.

On my first day at work,

the person I was replacing

picked me up at home.

He decided that

the best place to train

an inexperienced

security guy like me was

the interrogation

facility in Jerusalem.

I started learning

intelligence there.

I don't know if you've

ever been inside a prison,

but the one in Jerusalem

is the worst that I know.

It's a very old building

from the time of the Turks.

A normal person

walks through the door

and he's ready to

admit to killing Jesus.

PERY. You need to make

the suspect feel tense.

You need to make

him understand

that when we are done, he

will give up his information,

so the sooner the better.

The Shin Bet has interrogated

tens of thousands of people,

if not hundreds of thousands.

The Shin Bet is

a well-oiled system.

It's well-organized and effective.

It's systematic.

You receive

a territorial unit

and learn it, village by

village, trail by trail,

whether by field trips

or lots of interviews with the

masses of people who come

to military government HQ.

You sit with them and ask

them to tell you about

the village, the clans,

from the number of

people in the village

to what institutions it has...

You eventually reach a point

where you mark who

you want to recruit.

In the end you know

you want X

because X's connections,

his ability to infiltrate places

He is co-author of the GNU GPL licensed streaming media server Icecast and often works on software using XMPP, JavaScript and Erlang. He also worked as executive director of Xiph.Org Foundation and developer of Ogg Vorbis project. Moffitt's work with Erlang has made him a regular presenter at the Erlang Factory conference series. Moffit's 2012 application for XMPP.org lists several of his other projects.While working on Chesspark.com Moffit led the development team that created Strophe - a library for writing XMPP clients, implemented in JavaScript and C for developers of XMPP applications. Moffit's team also released several other open source projects related to XMPP. In November 2008 Moffitt co-founded Collecta, a real-time search company which uses XMPP, including the Strophe library, for communication between the client and server. Collecta launched its public beta in June 2009. Moffitt served as CTO for Collecta until some time in late 2010 when he left the company to work on other projects. Moffit also worked on iOS development as part of Lunchbox Labs according to information on his LinkedIn profile. Lunchbox Labs produced the iOS word game SnackWords.

In 2012 Jack Moffitt joined TalkTo, an internet startup which allows users to send questions via an application or SMS and have agents at TalkTo answer their questions or conduct research for them. Moffitt's role is "Lead Architect" according to the ErlangFactory conference website for Moffitt's 2012 talk there. TalkTo reportedly uses XMPP for some of its communication, which may explain Moffitt's involvement. On the TalkTo blog, a birthday message to Moffitt was displayed referencing him as a "team member" and including a happy birthday message which is an XMPP code stanza. Former Chesspark and Collecta coworker, Nathan Zorn, who is also an active member of the open source community, appears in the image holding up the sign and on the About page of the TalkTo website, indicating he is also a TalkTo employee, though whether he or Moffitt joined first is unknown.

In 2010 Moffitt gave a talk called "Your Brain on Sound: Aural Illusions, MP3, and Psychoacoustics" as part of Ignite New Mexico Moffitt blogs occasionally at Metajack.im - the ".im" suffix chosen because it is also shorthand for "instant message" in a nod to Moffitt's work with XMPP. Moffitt also hosts a variety of code in a public repository on GitHub and contributes actively to discussions on the site. more…
