Infranet: Circumventing Web Censorship
edsonw writes "In this paper presented at the 11th USENIX Security
Symposium, Feamster et alii presented a method that provide access to censored sites while continuing to host normal uncensored content, using covert communication and steganographic techniques." The Infranet webpage has some more information. No public code yet, though.
Did I get it?

when will you lead by example and boycott slashdot?
I would rather stay and fight for changes from within, just like the great leaders of the 20th century: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., etc.
I see myself has the Slashdot MLK Jr.
I have a dream, that one day, vicious modbombing by editors will end and trolls, crapflooder, and karma whores can be judged on their character, and not their karma.
For those of you who are not AOL subscribers, *g* means "giggle like a silly schoolgirl". There are two other acronyms that are used on AOL and almost nowhere else: LOL (laugh out loud) and ROTFLMAO (rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.
I realise that no self-respecting person would use these acronyms, but it's good to be aware of them, because they are quite common among newbies on AOL.
Hrm...I always thought *g* stood for "gay"...like some sort of disclaimer to warn the reader that the author is a homosexual.
Are you ORAL?
No kidding. I know Michael's a hypocrite, but I didn't expect him to contradict himself in posts just over one hour apart!
This is modded as flamebait? What are you MORONs doing with your mod points? I happen to think this is an interesting point.
I have a feeling the damn mp3 thieves are going around modding things based not on the merit of a post, but solely on whether they agree with the post or not.
What a bunch of idiots!
you beat me to it
Now I frown as I am sad
tried first to haikus
I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.
No, *g* is an emoticon. It's a gnu's long face with cauliflower ears from getting bitchslapped.
Who's going to the trouble of moderating these as trolls? Hm...
/. mlk and all?
Anyway, aren't you afraid of getting assassinated, being the
It's because there's no accountability for mods. When will /. get an editing queue and show who moderated what?

P.S.: damn the two-minute rule.
Almost nowhere else? You`re new to the net, right? One day you`ll discover email, Usenet, mailing lists, ICQ(et al)...
Post yours anyway!
So what that he beat you by

Slow Down Cowboy!
Slashdot requires you to wait 2 minutes between each successful posting of a comment to allow someone else to catch your mistake and make fun of you first.
I have been karma assassinated for all intents and purposes. I know the editors do IP profilingjust like racial profiling) and see who's posting what (, and they probably see the rebellion from this IP. That's why my accounts get modded down, I never get mod access, etc.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank your for posting Slashdot autoresponse #279, "pr0n". In the future, you may save time by simply entering

Thank you,

--I have just struggled through this intellectually masturbatory "paper" on how to "help" oppressed peoples. It's a complete load of crap. It's the usual drivel put forth by people who get most of their rent money from the public tit some how. In other words, a waste of electrons.
The following is an alternative academic exercise that addresses these problems, purely for speculative and amusement purposes.
None of this overly complex shaking scared geek in front of a terminal stuff is needed to have a free uncensored internet in china or saudi arabia, etc. Nope, not at all, the solution is easy, use "low tech" techniques against "high tech" oppression in a "denial of oppression attack", or DOOA..
I'll explain.
When people are overly oppressed, they do this thing called "a righteous revolution", or R2. When they see an oppressive fatcat, po-leece man, military rapist murdering goon, lying dictator politician, corrupt bureaucrat, state co-opted lying propoganda spewing "news" reporter etc, they off them. You use a shovel, a club, a molotov, a hammer, a brick, an old monitor or printer,etc,etc etc. All low tech devices that are readily at hand, available in any home, farm, road, alley, factory, office, etc and effective. When the closest member of the goon class has had his head bashed in, you then take his gun,radio, ID, money, etc, then go shoot and/or bash more goons, and so on, and so forth. There are thousands of variations to these DDOA techniques, but that is a good overview. As the successful low tech "justice serving" spreads, more oppressed people join into the DOOA.
This technique, using DDOA, once it is universal across an oppressed geographical area, is called WADJ or "wide area distributed justice". Everyone who is oppressed acts as as a "server" LAGB, ie, a "local area goon basher" who "serves" justice to the nearest "client" goon oppressor who receives what is now being served to him. There is no sneaking around required, other than the first wave of justice serving, nothing stealthy about it, you just "do it" if you are in an oppressed area. If you don't have the smarts or balls to do it, tuff titty, you will remain oppressed, forever and ever, no matter how many seekrit tunnelling steagonagraphical groovy linux apps you have.
Usually how this works is that most people fully know they are being oppressed, without finding out about it on the internet. Being "notified" you are being oppressed on the internet is at best a waste of bandwith, at worst, counts as "doing mostly nothing" about your problems in the local oppressed area. And the ones outside the oppressed area would be a lot more helpful, instead of sitting in front of terminals sending off cute pix embedded in other pics or whatnot, by smuggling arms into the oppressed people, or helping them out by actually joining into the DDOA's by bashing some of those folks goons when said are outside their own goon country and hob knobbing with other rich fatcat oppressive goons over in the so called "free" western nations. These goon dictators and their entourages rarely stay at home over in saudichinaoppressedistan, they usually travel to like NYC, London, LA, paris, etc, where they 'get away with" being rich oppressive goons as they go out to eat and visit their bankers, etc, hoist a few with western demi goons, and etc, etc.. They can be bashed outside of their own countries as well, theoretically speaking.
Oppressed people only have to bash one goon apiece, that's it, end of problems. There are usually a lot more oppressed people in any given area than oppressors. Goons get bashed, they are now dev/null, you go about your business on the internet at your leisure then.
This "code" is released under the GPGB license, the 'general purpose goon bashing" licence, and may be freely used, modified, re-released, etc as any oppressed person sees fit, subject to local laws and regulations, and sum totality of desire to not be an oppressed professional victim,and sum totality of desire to use real world techniques for real world problems, not use video games against reality. Hint-the latter is called "nuts" or "insane", and has never proven effective against heinous oppressors..
