My mother has been having this problem for months. She has tried about a billion different anti-virus things and searched online for hours for the cause. She even took her machine to some "expert" to delouse it.
Her next step was going to be to backup all her stuff and then have Dell walk her through the process of formatting and re-installing her OS.
After that, I think I could have gotten her to use linux or OSX instead. Now, I suppose that I'll just turn off her speach recognition stuff for her. Oh well, almost had another convert.
Pretty cool idea, and useful, too. There are some mod_perl modules available, too. There's an example in the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook and I wrote a simple one here.
They really seem to catch some weird things that I never thought might be wandering around on my website. I recommend lifting the ban on anyone after a while, though, because you can (almost) never be too certain what you've banned.
I just wrote a mod_perl apache module to implement a similar honeypot idea. The primary difference is, though, that if a spider requests a page from the honeypot, the webserver realize that it's a maliicious spider. After that the webserver refuses to serve any pages at all to that client for some time.
It's supposed to cut down on email harvesting bots and others that ignore the/robots.txt file
Last I heard, there was a possible problem with a piece of something stuck in the way of some module (probably a Soyez, I gues) attached to the ISS and they didn't want the shuttle to knock the whole thing loose when it docked. Anyone know if they got that problem solved? I was wondering if someone had to spacewalk to get the thing freed up or something.
Would you really look at the source if it was given to you? Would you commit to fixing at least X bugs if they gave you the source?
I would probably look. I've leafed through the source to BIND to see how they do certain things. I doubt I would commit to fixing X bugs, but if I found any, I would submit patches. I have in the past to other people's work.
Does it really matter one way or another, or are you just throwing out buzzwords with SQL and backend?
Any chance of licensing it out even without the source?
yeah, it would be neat if it would. I've been looking for a good nameserver that holds its zone information in my database. I haven't found a good one for the hooks in BIND 9 yet, and I would be willing to ditch it if I found a descent replacement. I am also curious why they wrote their own, and I can see this being one of the reasons.
Since it's going to be used on root servers, I hope not.
I didn't realize they ran it any of the root servers. I just figured they ran it on some of the authoritative servers that they run. Those are the same servers that I update through their web pages rather regularly. Actually, I didn't even realize that register.com ran *any* of the root servers.Which ones do they run?
I'd also love to see a good way to keep all of my zone data in my database. I just hope that the nameserver is still fast enough to deal with a descent amount of traffic. That's the big problem I see with an SQL backend. Some clever hacker will come up with a good way to cache, though, and I hope soon.
Some people are running djdns. It may be interesting for you to look at if you haven't already. There's also one from Microsoft.
There probably aren't a lot developed, and you don't hear about many of them that are developed because it's not a very sexy application, like say, napster.
Vendors at the conference offered their own security solutions. Register.com Inc. in New York, for example, has created its own propriety DNS software. The company continues to deploy BIND as well as its own software because diversity improves security, said Jordyn Buchanan, who worked on the team that developed the system.
Is there anyone here knowledgeable about this who can comment on a few things?
Can I get the source to that in any way?
Does it use a SQL database backend?
Any chance of licensing it out even without the source?
Does it support dynamic updates?
Anything else cool about it?
Are you hiring?
I'd love to see (more closely) another implementation of the DNS system other than the 3 or so commonly found.

I thought the three states were 'true', 'false' and 'I don't know'.
I should mention that this is discussed in the Cato Institute's Daily Dispatch today. It points to a longer discussion (from 10/11/01 when Mr. Gregg was proposing the legislation) that you may find relevant.
What's all this talk about no one using the Cue::Cat? I was just sitting here watching a video on Betamax, drinking an RC cola, and scanning stuff with my Cue::Cat. It seems pretty useful and timely to me!
The reefknot folks are building tools to allow you (and others) to do that kind of work and more. Their work is coming along pretty well. Keep an eye on them and perhaps help them out.

Ah, the sounds of a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
I wrote an apache module in perl to do a very similar thing. No restarting your webserver.

So, what are the methods they use, and how can I make it more difficult for them to tell if I have a machine running NAT?
yeah, Wiggum.
In that case, I would receive email notification that there is a new document (new version of the web page) available for me.
That sounds a bit like an infringement on the patent to me. In fact this technique os rather widely used.
All hail the inanimate carbon rod.

No need to comment on the last two.

Nope: one, zero, and CowboyNeal.

All these people are being laid off, and now they'll be sitting around in Starbucks without even having any connectivity.
