I would have, but I ran a postfix server at the time. Can't have all your users portknock every time they want to send an email :-)

Not the same, but similar.

On: Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband

My old ISP (http://www.jkn.no/) are doing something similar.
They have scheduled portscanning of their customers.
If they find ANY listening ports they will throttle your speed to modem speed.

That is what made me switch ISP.
I need to log on to my box at home from work sometimes.
Closing all ports was not an option.

On: Mac OS X Root Escalation Through AppleScript

I have remote access enabled.
However you need to spoof the correct IP and MAC address after portknocking with cryptographic hashes and attempt-limiting enabled. With some extra black magic on top of that you're NAT'ed to the login of the OSX machines in the LAN. Yes, I have some Macs in my LAN.

Re:I am not a MS Fanboy

On: Bill Gates's Last Speech

if new MS products differ too radically from their old ones, or are completely incompatible etc, then suddenly the barrier between them and Linux/Apple etc is lowered dramatically. Am I the only one seeing the connection between Windows Vista and the increased sales of Apple products ?

I think Vista did differ too radically and the barrier has in fact been lowered.
Not as dramatically as you picture, but enough to shift some marketshare balance.
