Defeating China's National Firewall
Bruce Schneier is reporting on his blog that a recent paper is discussing how to defeat China's national firewall. From the article: "However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if both of the endpoints were to completely ignore the firewall's reset packets, then the connection will proceed unhindered! We've done some real experiments on this -- and it works just fine!! Think of it as the Harry Potter approach to the Great Firewall -- just shut your eyes and walk onto Platform 9¾."
...is a billion Chinese walking into the great wall of China...all at once.
Purple, because ice cream has no bones.
Thanks for doing the security analysis for us. We appreciate your hard work and excellent documentation.

> Okay, now that you let the cat out of the bag, how long before the Great Chinese Firewall gets this hole plugged?
>On the otherhand, the more they try to squeeze star systems, the more they will slip out of thier han (or something like that).
Damn. Leave it to a supernatural being to figure out how to get the Goatse Guy through the psychic firewall.
That's the last time you break down my shitty firewall!
Jeez, why is it everytime chinese build a wall, those damn mongolians gotta break it down?
The revolution will not be televised... but it will have a page on Wikipedia
Could we just think of this as the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" approach?
A slashdotter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber.
Everyone knows that its many miles long... one single attack cannot bring it down...
sig goes here!
Sure do. Dear Rest Of The World: SEND MORE DRUGS.

Or you just type in:
idspispopd = Walk through wall in noclip style
If you mod this up, your slashdot background will turn into a beautiful sunset!
But can we use this with a machine coded matrix to get Jack Bauer out?

It doesn't really matter: no one in China can read Slashdot, so they'll never know.
I think your post got cut off. Would you please repost?
You can pick up from "Here's how you can get those poor miserable people the drugs they want and need..."
Thanks!
"Ladies and gentlemen, my killbot features Lotus Notes and a machine gun. It is the finest available."
Someone should tell them that they put their firewall in backwards.
Perhaps, but you better open up a socket for Chloe so that she upload the data to Edgar, who will then decrypt the kernel code. This way Jack might stand a chance!
