Security Flaws In Aussie Net Filter Exposed

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the let-your-government-do-your-thinking-for-you dept.

Faldo writes "There's a three-part interview with a computer security expert on BanThisURL that goes into the flaws in the Aussie net filtering scheme. In addition to SSH tunnels and proxies, more worrying problems like trojaning the boxes to set up man in the middle attacks (which the interviewee has done in his lab), cross site scripting and the Australian blacklist leaking are all discussed. Worrying and relevant, especially since Thailand's blacklist has just been leaked."

    Close, but the quote is: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
