Neat challenge left as an exercise to the reader: whois can be used to transfer files too. :)
- bitquark 10y agoInteresting, we must be looking at a different class of devices. If we're going down that road, there's always base64 and copy + paste!
- na85 10y ago>whois can be used to transfer files too. Ah, the old DNS-tunnelling trick. A fun way to flip cheap hotels the bird.
- micro_softy 10y agoHe is suggesting something much easier and different from DNS. WHOIS is one of the simplest internet protocols. The RFC is beautifully short. Unlike DNS, there's no rules on sizes of requests or responses, and it uses TCP by default. His suggestion deserves an upvote for its simplicity, elegance.
