tap

op //slashdot een //artikel over hoe vaak in nederland telefoons getapped worden. de comments staan vol met het standaard /. gehalte. maar toch, zo ziet de buitenwereld ons; lawless, anarchy, bigbro-is-watching-us staat.

op //bitsoffreedom: " In een WOB procedure van Bits of Freedom tegen het ministerie van Justitie heeft de bestuursrechter besloten dat het ministerie geen cijfers hoeft te geven over het aftappen in Nederland.".

als je //xs4allabbo bent kan je bij servicecenter kiezen dat xs wat geld over maakt naar bof. doen!

het zelfde geldt natuurlijk voor mobiel en ip, de isp's weten *zelf* niet eens hoevaak de staat tapt.
technisch, wat is de oplossing, alles ssl? pgp?

//atheist-for-jesus.com? First of all, what I mean by the term "Atheist", is that I do not believe that any deity is probable, nor do I believe that any deity that I have ever heard of is possible. While I do not claim omniscience--and can, therefore, not absolutely rule out the existence of some sort of deity--I feel confident that my definition will identify me as an atheist to the vast majority of the populace (and thus avoid the confusion which often results from the use of term Agnostic).

Dear Colleagues,

Starting from 14:00 UTC today, 27 February, RIPE NCC network suffered a large DDoS attack. It was a distributed ICMP echo attack.

The attack caused various congestion related problems for the RIPE NCC's network, to the extent that our BGP peering sessions were affected, and non-ICMP traffic was being randomly dropped.

The attack was successfully mitigated with cooperation of our peer networks at AMS-IX. Network condition returned back to normal at 16:30 UTC.

As a result some of our services, including www.ripe.net (web), whois.ripe.net (RIPE Database), ns.ripe.net (DNS) and ftp.ripe.net (FTP) were not accessible during this timeframe. Now all services are back to normal.

lame scriptkiddies. kudos to netmasters@ripe.
