- Tichy 17y agoI wouldn't assume the server is stationed in China.
- hga 17y agoNo, but it's a start. Raises the barrier, especially in a potential future crisis where the PRC is disconnected from the net.
- pyre 17y ago> especially in a potential future crisis where the PRC is disconnected from the net. I don't follow. How does blocking out-bound traffic from going to China going to help you in a future where China is no longer even connected to the 'net?
- hga 17y agoDamned if I can figure it out now (time for bed) ... let me return to your question in the morning and see if I can remember my reasoning and if it still makes sense.
- hga 17y agoAh, now I think I remember what I was thinking: If you force the PRC to establish command and control nodes outside of the country, then you're more likely to know of them ahead of disconnecting the whole country, plus their MO in setting them up and using them, so that finding the inevitable sleeper nodes will be easier.
- dnsworks 17y agoPersonally I think that the Chinese government is directly, or indirectly behind a number of large botnets. Rather than advertising any particular server to sent data to, why not just open itself up to being consume by the borg^h^h^h^h botnet?
