  1. Re:Theft? they must be kidding on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    Billboards wouldn't count since the revenue from billboard advertising isn't funding the service you're using. I think they're more thinking of using a toll road with some device that allows you to pass through tollbooths unnoticed without paying.

  2. Re:Hosts file on Charter Implements SiteFinder-Like DNS · · Score: 1

    i just tried going to www11.charter.net and i got this funny error page.

    Cannot find server or DNS Error
    Internet Explorer

    The funny thing was this showed up just like an internet explorer 'friendly error'
    (except the images were all broken).
    The funnier thing was that i wasn't using internet explorer.

    wget -O - www11.charter.net

    such a tangled web of lies

  5. Re:How about take zombies offline? on US Planning Response To a Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    At the Uni where I work our net ops crew has some spiffy snort rules and various logwatchers that sandbox machines behaving in
    suspicious ways very quickly. Since the WIFI and ppp are both LDAP authed, they can identify the user and notify them via email
    (they also get www only to a page telling them they're blocked). I'm pretty sure that none the stuff costs any money (except, of course, hardware) and it does a very good job of slapping down anybody who is behaving virally.

    if ISPs did something similar, they would probably realize an overall performance improvement anyhow since the tubes wouldn't be clogged with all the spammers fruits.
