: I'm sorry I got myself into this. I read a few messages in response to mine, so I've
: decided to respond. When you finish reading this, you'll see that what I posted
: could mean several different things, but the address *does* exist according to the
: mail server. By the way, I don't care to explain of defend what I do or why I do
: it. I think everyone here should maintain a certain level of paranoia (eg., common
: sense).
: The host that receives his mail is connected to a UUNET backbone over-seas. UUNET
: is owned by MFS in the U.S. and has a certain degree of government affiliation...take
: that for what it's worth.
: The mail server has one dedicated gateway that's rather slow and there are 2 target
: addresses (machines) right next to each other that are fire-walled. I suspect one
: of the 2 is a PROXY server (assigns dynamic and changing addresses).
: The trace I dumped, and some others I didn't post, shows that you have to go through
: MAE East to get there (from US), and everyone who's passed "hacking 101" knows that
: the U.S. government filters packets from there.
: One unusual aspect of these systems: they do not allow connections to some very
: common services, such as HTTPD (you are using it now), from remote systems. I think
: this is very strange.
: My guess is that "Paul Masters" is a U.S. government officer of some sort and that
: the gateway was setup to investigate shit like what goes on here.
: If you don't agree with any of this, please don't flame me - this is only my opinion.
: If you don't like what I've said or posted as a matter of philosophy, you can kiss
: my ass because knowledge and information are free and we all have a right to "know
: things" and share what we've learned.
: PS: I could do more with this but I choose not to. There's no point in it.
: Remember: you're on your own.
Keep up the good work! We need guys like you who have hacker knowledge to keep us all safe. I may know my chem, but it takes others like you to expose the dangers that are out there! Thanks for the assist with the anarchy. Anarchy in the USA!
