I suspect the article is simplifying. If multiple channels are involved (the article mentions "10 beoutQ channels"), it is quite possible they have worked out how to compromise the conditional access on the broadcast, allowing the

OpenWRT has been the base for some chip and router vendor SDKs for a while now - Qualcomm/Atheros SoCs and Technicolor gateways for example. So your ISP router may already be running OpenWRT underneath. However, most home level routers

Definitely. How many people outside the infosec industry know that responsible disclosure channels exist?

I can't speak for Parallels, but for VMware Fusion in NAT mode all connections are made via the vmware-natd process which can be filtered by tools such as Little Snitch.

Melbourne leased, and later bought a couple of trams from Mulhouse, France 8 years ago to fill a rollingstock shortage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C2-class_Melbourne_tram Various tram types were demoed on the Melbour

They went back to Valez-Malaga rather quickly, the plastic seats were unpopular and the manufacturer facilitating the deal (CAF) offered a killer deal to replace all the older trams in the fleet with new ones.

Windows 'Longhorn' (Vista) era builds had timebombs in them, but removing said timebomb was easy. It is quite likely the project Raymond is talking about is Longhorn, as a few pre-'reset' builds were leaked in quick succ

Given that OpenWRT is the reference distribution of choice for networking chipsets these days, the reference goals do seem to be focused on making it better for that. The last couple of OpenWRT releases have moved fast, in the future OpenWR

There was a report on the NANOG list of customers being flagged for VPN use while using an account in two countries simultaneously, but if one used another account from those IPs, there is no issue. http://mailman.nanog.org/

I didn't say it did. It was a side comment that the situation was not as dire as Cloudflare said - if you can avoid buying transit directly from one specific provider.

There is plenty of dark fibre around in Australia (driven by a need to bypass monopoloy Telcos) that the bandwidth costs cited by Cloudflare have no real effect on datacenter design. (The 'true' cost of transit in AU, ignoring Tel

Some banks implementing 3D Secure/Verified By Visa/MasterCard do it by asking for a separate password. Given how few sites actually implement it, it becomes a pain to use if you have to dig out the password or set it up on first u

I use it as a firewall/router/network appliance OS. The neat thing is that most of the things you need for that role are in the base install, which is quite minimal.

Most radio modules would have an embedded firmware that in addition to the radio handling, should enforce regulatory constraints (i.e preventing the use of 5GHz DFS channels if radar use is detected). Building these firmware images is somet

Pay one of the telcos (i.e China Unicom) for an MPLS circuit out of the country. Also, international performance in general can be quite bad at peak times (i.e 30% packet loss), I suspect due to Comcast-style management of international tra

Being China, it could be a TD-SCDMA variant (the stylized '4G' logo hints at being a China Mobile variant). That would escape the WCDMA related patents, but its still technically a UMTS/GSM system.

by mcbridematt 12y ago
To give some context, zero rating in Australia came about as a response by smaller ISPs to the 'Gang of Four' 'cartel' of large telcos, who have settlement-free domestic peering between themselves[1], and until ~2009-201

Perhaps Chrome's MITM detection should only ignore private certs (for web filtering) if configured so via Group Policy or similar mechanism?

No, just OpenVPN, and from the searching I did at the time, this is a well known problem. These days I just tunnel over SSH or even remote desktop into a remote server.

My own VPN instances have been shot down within a couple of days of use, definitely IPS-style behavior. I can't comment on commercial providers, but the capability to autoblock common VPN protocols is definitely there.

If a person with Wireshark can figure out what you are doing, so can a nation-scale signature detection system. Things like custom protocol handshakes will give the underlying application away. It doesn't matter if the traffic itself i

It would make the installation process easier, in that there would be no need to pull fibre through existing lead in conduits (which is a major issue) This could be called 'Fibre-To-The-Fence' basically. I bet this isn't that

Interesting 'innerHTML' is mentioned as a crappy native equivalent. In theory, I agree. But last time I compared innerHTML vs DOM fragments, innerHTML was much much faster across the browsers I tried (this was just before JITs for JS became
