    you've never been on a battlefield before, have you?

    or had to think about:
    being overrun
    swapping weapons when they break
    manning the most casualty-producing weapon when the crew became casualties
    or any of the other stuff you have no business pontificating about.

    I think this kind of technology is really neat, and quite useful.

    Oh for fucks sake.

    I wasn't attacking Spamhaus. I think they are great.

    I was bemoaning the perfect storm that got me blocked for 3 days because of the block and DDOS.

    http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/

    We were blocked for XBL. Not SBL or CSS. It REALLY was because a machine was observed talking to a botnet C&C server.

    But it took me days to find out it was XBL and not because of spamming. I spent those days thinking it was because of spamming, wasting time chasing smtp ports and pooring over capture traffic for clues of spamming.

    Is it not a little scary that under DDOS the functions that get you blocked work fine, but the functions that tell you why do not? Like a car who's failure mode is full throttle.

  8. Re:Hangin's too good for him on Suspect Arrested In Spamhaus DDoS Attack · · Score: 2

    An infected machine being seen talking to a botnet is enough to get you on the XBL.

    We were blocked for THAT. Not for any spamming. We DO block all port 25 except from the SMTP servers.

    Maybe instead of being an insulting douche, know what the fuck you are talking about.

    http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/section/Spamhaus%20XBL#37

    It turned out to be an infected machine on a WIFI AP. I learned to send the WIFI traffic out a separate WAN interface so it's problems didn't affect my smtp outbound ip.

    An infected machine in my network got our company on the XBL the morning the DDOS started.

    But all I knew was I was blacklisted by spamhaus. Didn't know why.

    And couldn't find out for 3 days during the attack. Couldn't apply for de-listing either.

    And to top it all off, /. was too busy talking about sxsw to mention the ddos until it was over.

  12. Re:"STEM" is a useless grouping on New Study Suggests No Shortage of American STEM Graduates · · Score: 1

    It doesn't stop there.

    The education industry has been foaming at the mouth for a buzzword to get behind, and STEM showed up and fell right into the trap.

    Then the Arts people got involved. And now you have STEAM.

    The idea behind concentrating on a few topics is being watered down until everything is included. Because inclusion is part of the self-esteem curriculum. And excluding anything is contrary to the anti-bullying curriculum.
