I think the article covers that. They are hosting a website at a static IP, so a mapping of public IP -> secret IP must be stored somewhere. They are hoping that knowing this secret IP will let them find their true hosting provider.
- javajosh 6y agoThat's true - even if it's in memory somewhere the record exists, and is readable.
- capableweb 6y agoNot entirely sure what I'm talking about now, but couldn't you in theory implement this in Intel SGX and therefore be unable to read it unless from code running inside the enclave itself?
- saagarjha 6y agoPossibly, if SGX actually worked.
- cesarb 6y ago> They are hosting a website at a static IP, so a mapping of public IP -> secret IP must be stored somewhere. Not necessarily. The stored mapping could also be public IP -> username, plus a separate mapping username -> password or username -> key; with a mapping public IP -> TCP connection or public IP -> UDP connection existing only in memory and only while the connection is active. And from what I understood from the article, and from an earlier article linked to by the first link in this article, the connection has last been active in June.
