  1. Re:Can't stop 'em on Comcast Thinks About Stopping Zombies · · Score: 0

    That would prevent everybody from sending and receiving mail. I think the main thing is that a high percentage of spam comes FROM comcast users and they seek to disable the offenders.

THAT box is STILL going >to have to hit port 25 on the target mailserver. > >I reiterate that the TARGET PORT on the >mailserver is still going to have to be port >25/TCP, unless you're bringing up a very non->standard non-SMTP target Ok. I totally agree with you there. However, Comcast suggests blocking the sender's port 25, not the receiver. I was just suggesting you would just have to rely your messages from the sender on a different port and midway convert to port 25. All it takes is a couple servers in China that are willing to route the port change and the problem is circumvented.

    True the destination has to be port 25. But I'm saying that you can order the packets to arrive at their destination while bypassing the comcast router block, the story proposes. Whether you have to tunnel mail thru a proxy to get to its destination, you can still circumvent the problem.

  4. Re:Can't stop 'em on Comcast Thinks About Stopping Zombies · · Score: 0

    Sorry dude. But you can send UDP packets across a different port and assemble them remotely to look like TCP on port 25. It's similar to the logic behind DOS attacks. You flood an IP with a ton of packets and some combination will look like valid mail if you get the process to arrange itself seemlessly.

  5. Can't stop 'em on Comcast Thinks About Stopping Zombies · · Score: 0, Interesting

    This is really a dumb idea because you can send mail on any port you want. The packets don't even need to be assembled until they reach their destination. The only solution is to certify mail servers. Any server caught sending spam is responsible on the certified network.

    Why get charged now? ICOS went bust. He lost his money.

  7. NASA Quality Control on 'Einstein Probe' Delayed · · Score: 0, Troll

    What kind of software / hardware / techs does NASA pay for? It seems like the cheap stuff to me. Rovers with bad flash hardware. Shuttles that blow up. Techs that can't use version control. I have to hope that we don't have to endure another disaster.

  8. Re:Spin the wheel of motivations... on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 1

    I'd bet anything it is the RIAA working together with another 3rd party.

    Now if we could track down who is responsible, we could sue for damages.

  11. Loss of rights on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    This is going too far. Burden of Proof is the cornerstone of justice. If you start to lower it, pretty soon we'll go to jail just for watching someone use P2P or for knowing someone who uses P2P!!

    Starting to sound like, "Are you a communist?" and "Have you ended any meetings recently?" and "Who do you recall, attended these meetings?" and "If you tell us, you can reduce your sentence." and "You don't want to go to jail, do you?" and "We are here for your protection, just tell us what you did today?".

    Who are making these bills? Are they the decendents of the anti-communists of the past. Neglected, abused, and brain washed by their parents into thinking that this acceptable behavior by congress. Do they really thing that "the people" are really fleas???

  12. Re:What's the problem on "Witty" Worm Wrecks Computers · · Score: 1

    Yeah I meant writable. We should get MSFT involved in the MFG process so that the boot sectors are readonly allow Windows Only. What do you say? Put an end to hackers and save the world, uhem...

    So who is responsible. Is it the MSFT developers for making the exploit, or is it the harddrive manufactures for making those sectors readable?

    Whenever the government runs into the problem of who should pay for a certain bill that has obvious benefits like this issue, they should make it a mandate. Government is not responsible paying for the install, just the enforcement of this law.
