EFF Releases Tool For Testing ISP Interference
Placid notes that the EFF has announced Switzerland, a tool for testing if your ISP is interfering with your Net connection (e.g. by resetting BitTorrent transfers). It's command-line only at this point. Of course the tool is FOSS, and you can contribute to it via its SourceForge project. From the announcement: "Developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Switzerland is an open source software tool for testing the integrity of data communications over networks, ISPs, and firewalls. It will spot IP packets which are forged or modified between clients, inform you, and give you copies of the modified packets."
A dozen Blackberrys are ringing.
Look, Tim. I know it's Saturday but I need you to get to the switching center and shut down project ticktock right away. We're about to have some serious liability issues with it.
After the weekend we can start on a workaround.

Hey, who let their cat near the keyboard?
I thought Switzerland was a country!
However, it's likely this tool is relatively safe
so, working in the insurance industry too eh?

I thought the code was Python...
Quidnam Latine loqui modo coepi?
I'm working on a much more straightforward app that will be nearly as accurate on a large scale - it just scans your ip address and matches it against a list of known comcast ip classes - a hit means you're being throttled!

Alright. How about the "Comcastrator"?
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd flame you.
