they did me the exact same way. After I renewed there was no problem with the transfer. The alternate registrar knew about the tactic and offered to bill for a period starting from the NetSol expiration, just because they didn't want to lose time getting my $ while I tried to fight the power at NetSol. Creepy spiteful hateful practices abound there! Stick it to them!
And this is the company we are expected to TRUST to certify all those webservers out there? Stupid move for someone who wants to be in the trust business.
SSH2 transport protocol has a specific remedy for traffic analysis attacks! (IF clients and servers implement it.) It's the SSH_MSG_IGNORE message.
Quoted text from IETF draft follows.
9.2. Ignored Data Message
byte SSH_MSG_IGNORE
string data
All implementations MUST understand (and ignore) this message at any
time (after receiving the protocol version). No implementation is
required to send them. This message can be used as an additional
protection measure against advanced traffic analysis techniques.
Not only because some clients buffer your password locally before sending any of it, but also because the SSH transport layer protocol provides for an arbitrary amount of padding to be inserted with payload packets...this is almost accidental.
What's intentional is the inclusion of SSH_MSG_IGNORE message which is specifically mentioned as being useful as "an additional
protection measure against advanced traffic analysis techniques." such as the one described in the paper.

Hopefully they can make it carry more than one bit of information per day also...

VolumeOne in Chicago has been in this business since 1997. I think some major publishing houses were looking at it too.
