If EasyDNS seems like it will work well for you, Why not use them? Maybe you can make an annual donation and get them to work with you to come up with a perfect solution.
Otherwise, you could always set up your own master server. It's not really too hard to do, especially if you already have some experience with running web servers.
Maybe they're running a very large, flat-addressed, hub-and-repeater network? Seriously though, I would think a few show arp and show mac commands should give you a pretty good idea where it is. You could even just hit it with an attack of some sort and watch the traffic patterns. If you still can't find it, maybe an access list or a blackhole route might be a good idea until you can.
The vendor has released a patch and risk arises only for systems connected directly to the Internet without firewall protection.
Seriously? If you can't afford to buy some sort of basic protection for internet connected equipment, you need to re-think your business model. If you can't afford the downtime to install a simple firewall, then you really won't be able to afford the downtime it will cause when somebody breaks in.
I agree. A friend of mine had bought a Mustang GT in 2005, which was the first year of the current body style. The salesman's words: "This car might even go up in value someday because it's the first year of this body style!"
I do agree, it would be nice to have bluetooth sync. However, the computer I use to sync my iphone only has USB 1.1 and it is painfully slow. For how long it would take to sync a bunch of songs over bluetooth, you might as well plug it in because your going to be there a while. I think wifi sync would be much more useful. The distance is better, the speed is better. It might take more power but the wifi radio would be on for much less time than the bluetooth radio would be.
I don't know the details on this attack, but from what I've read it seems to be a magnetic card, and seems to have no verification. It seems to me that on a system like this, encryption only stops you from really knowing what data the card contains. What would stop you from just making exact duplicates of a loaded card and selling those? If somebody were in this for the money, I'm not sure there would be any need to decrypt anything.
From what I read of the original attack, the poison response has to make it back to the server before the correct response. Unless the correct response takes hours to arrive (instead of milliseconds), it seems unlikely that poisoning could happen.
maybe I'm not understanding the original attack correctly?
If this happened to my DNS servers, I don't think I'd even notice it as poisoning right away. I'd likely just assume it was a DoS attack and deal with it accordingly. I also have my DNS servers on 100 Meg ports so unless I were on vacation, I'd likely notice it long before the cache got poisoned.
If America is so paranoid about this why don't they just close their borders to everyone.
Ummm... I'd say that they pretty much have closed them by adding in this policy.. Personally, I try to stay away from places where my stuff will be stolen.
Yes, Google does have a lot of money, probably enough to win. Google is not microsoft, they walked away instead of killing another company over a name. If you remember, there was a program called windows defender, but microsoft wanted to call their anti-spyware program windows defender. Microsoft threatened to sue, the guy gave up the name just because he couldn't afford to fight microsoft for it.
Before you say Google lost, maybe you should consider that they decided to walk away..
From reading about what he did to change the records, I don't think it was very difficult. I'm pretty sure he did put about as much effort into studying as he did into this "hack".
I guess it doesn't really matter too much for iPhones sold in Canada. we really only have one GSM provider anyway (there are 2, but one owns the other). As long as we can Jailbreak, it's fine with me. Also, wouldn't things like the stealthsim still work? I don't know anything about them but they seem to go in between the SIM and the phone, making unlocking the phone itself unnecessary. Does anybody know more about how these things work?
It seems to me that people will hack things as long as there is a demand for it. As long as people want unlocked iPhones, people will find ways to unlock them. Apple knows this, ATT knows this. If you have to sign up a contract to get a phone, then unlocking is not really a problem because at this point:
1)Apple has sold a phone.
2)ATT has sold a contract.
Now you can do whatever you like with the phone, ATT and Apple have both gotten what they wanted. Again, as long as I can jailbreak it and do what I want with it, it's fine with me.
I don't know how media defender works, but it seems to me that if you could make [your target] "appear" to be a tracker, you could have media defender perform a DoS attack against whatever you want.
I work for a small ISP and DoS attacks really piss me off because they seem to have about as much accuracy as a shotgun. Depending on the attack, it can sometimes affect more than just then intended target. I'd really like to see media defender get raped for this, but I know how these thing usually seem to work..
The moon is quite important to a mars trip. Getting from earth to the moon uses a lot of fuel. Going to mars from the moon is easier, especially if you send some extra fuel and supplies to the moon before you get there. Going to the moon also gives you a chance to test out your equipment in a harsh environment while you are still close to home.
The problem with this solution is that being flash based and cf card based, it's likely extremely slow compared to the DRAM based disk this guy is talking about. I too would like to find a DRAM based SATA drive, anybody know of anything available for a decent price?
If they did do it with software, I wonder how it would work for very expensive, specialized software compared with a very inexpensive but very popular game? How about a game like world of warcraft where the game itself is $30, but is completely useless without an account?
Maybe specialized software will be excluded or available with an additional license? sounds good until the music industry decides some of its stuff requires a special license on top of the $5/month.
How about business internet accounts? or minimal use dialup accounts? or people with multiple connections (cable, dsl, cellular, dialup, etc.)?
What if I load up my ipod and travel or live somewhere where I don't have an internet account, will I be legal? Can my roommate who uses my internet connection also use my music license?
Why would the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) do a story about software that does not run on a cellphone that is not even officially available for purchase in Canada?
I'm not too sure about putting known knock-off hardware in a production network. Considering a 1enet wic card is at least a couple hundred from cisco, I'd love to buy some knock off gear to play with before writing a CCNP exam.
Also from the artice:
If you are getting discounts of 40-55% off the list price for brand new hardware, i.e. sealed boxes, then it is a red flag
So, they're saying to start selling it for more money, or stop making boxes and sell it as used otherwise it looks fake..?
It's like if you do a speedtest on your hard drive with the cache enabled vs disabled. It works quite nicely for webpages and email. Where it really messes thing up is a streaming video. The video downloads the first bit extremely fast, and the player believes it's cached enough to start playing the video (based on extremely fast connection speed). Next the speed drops to normal, the player runs out of cached video and it stops to re-buffer again.
I guess the network will still exist for a while in Canada? For my job, we are often working way out of range of cell coverage, We use a set of trunked analog two way radios. They're heavy, but indestructible. One survived falling off my belt when I was up on a 68 foot tower, another was totally submerged in water and worked fine.
The most important thing is, they work nearly anywhere. I could have a conversation in places where you couldn't even get a partial signal on a cell phone.
I guess they'll try to sell us satellite phones once they turn off analog in Canada..?
I'm sure this stuff works fine and cheap and everything, but real glass fiber optic cable isn't very expensive either. The only expensive part seems to be splicing and termination. for the lengths you would use in a home, I can't imagine ever having to splice it. So unless this stuff is much easier/cheaper then glass to terminate, I just can't see any good reason to use it.

Also, is there anybody that uses linux that actually shops at best buy??
