    Of course I'm assuming that that VPNs, SSH can be supported. It would not surprise me in the least if the aircraft only supported http through some kind of proxy.

    And that would stop stop me how exactly?

  4. Re:problem with VNC by ProfFalcon · · Score: 1 · on Which VNC Software Is Best?

    OK, your IS security folks will hate me.

    Run SSH listening on port 80. Use VNC through an SSH tunnel. Works like a charm provided your firewall is not forcing you through a proxy too. In that case, it get's uglier. Run SSH at home listening on port 80, use a product like HTTP-Tunnel from http://www.http-tunnel.com/ to go through the proxy.

    Have fun!

  5. Re:File sharing traffic needs to be not obvious by tttonyyy · · Score: 1 · on New Wave Of File-Sharing Embraces Secrecy
    how about http? I've been thinking about ways of getting around heavy censorship at universities (block all access but the web proxy port, which needs a password and is censored) by connecting to sites that aren't filtered and somehow using them as a proxy -- not just for web traffic, but for any arbitrary stream of data.

    Heard of HTTP tunnelling? Check these out:

    GNU HTTP tunnel
    Commercial HTTP tunnel (monthly sub)

    Small, fast, and simple, it works like a charm. I'm guessing it would work on other platforms supported by Python as well.

    If you control one computer on each side of a firewall/gateway, you will almost always find a way to get through.

    Generic HTTP tunnels have been available for some time. Some people are even selling them.

  8. News? by Slayback · · Score: 1 · on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P

    Being a student and employee of a State univeristy for the last 4 years, I hardly see how this is news. 4 years ago, Napster started eating bandwidth and was blocked because of the costs. It's increased every year with "kids" coming in and expecting to be able to download the lastest CD they saw on MTV for free. Last year our university installed a packet shaper and instantly saw an improvement in "mission critical" applications, but still allowed people to use the P2P applications they always whined about not getting.

    Now the real problem is no longer bandwith - it's controled however we want - but we are now considering blocking Kazaa for a completely different reason. We get at least 5 notices from the MPAA a week of students violating the DMCA by sharing movies. Just the headaches we have to go through with dealing with these is enough to warrant the blocking of this service. While I personally don't care what we do, I'm sure that there'll be lots of whining if we do. It doesn't seem to matter how much we tell people that the MPAA and RIAA are actually watching, they think that they can't get caught.

    As far as the original question of what to do. Your university said that web traffic has highest priority. I'd recommend that you get HTTP Tunnel and the high speed subscription ($5) and perhaps e-Border for using any programs that don't support SOCKS. This is just a work around that I've discovered works well when needed and it's used by so few people that it's unlikely it'll be stopped soon (that is until I posted it on Slashdot).

  9. Solution by thatnerdguy · · Score: 0 · on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P

    Someone might have mentionned this, but I'm lazy. This happened at my university. They slowed down traffic on all ports except 80 to a crawl. Then I discovered a nifty little program called Http-Tunnel. It acts as a proxy server that routes your traffic through port 80, through their server and out to the internet. If you want good speed, I would recommend paying the 4.99 for a month...definitely worth it.

  10. Two points by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa

    After tinkering with Kazaa a while, I noticed my firewall had caught a port 1214 scan from an IP which resolved to the domain "jam.rr.com". Interesting name, right? If you go to www.jam.rr.com, you get nothing. But http://jam.rr.com/ takes you to the "select a city" page. Very interesting.

    Also, as someone else posted, there actually is a way around any type of roadrunner blocking of this type. HTTP-Tunnel will utilize the SOCKS option in Kazaa to route your data over HTTP, which roadrunner cannot block. You can download the program for free to test it out. Setting it up is simple. But to get access to high-bandwidth transfers, you must pay them $5/month. If you do so, speeds are quite high, though maybe not quite as high as they would be otherwise. And HTTP-Tunnel suggests you disable filesharing in Kazaa.

  11. Tunnelling over port 80 is (part of) the answer by embobo · · Score: 1 · on P2P, Firewalls And Connection Splicing

    Tunnelling over port 80 is (part of) the answer. The other part is having a server on the other side of the facist firewall that proxies for you. Oddly, this weeks Need to Know mentions this problem. See http://http-tunnel.com/newpage/icqp.htm for Windows software that does it and http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html for Unix software.
