i was googlin' something earlier and one of the results did that thing where it bounces you to a phishing/virus/whatever website since the site's been compromised or w/e, and the website is adorable![]() e: that's just one of the four "popups" it created on the page, all on top of each other and styled differently. looking in the code it can launch like 8 more different ones based on your browser. idk it's pretty mundane stuff but weirdly charming ![]() Shame Boy fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 18, 2018 |

i hate cisco but we had to deal with a partner running a paloalto for vpn and their loving firewall kept forwarding us poo poo that doesn't belong in the tunnel and wasn't even supposed to route our way even if it was! oh, and the poo poo they forwarded to us? all have the wrong security associations. paloalto doesn't give a gently caress.

James Baud posted:Come on now, surely that's just people who are bad at configuring their gear. nope. i even convinced them to send me their configuration and everything is as it should be. the tunnel is technically working but last i checked the constant stream of dropped packets due to wrong security associations is still happening. thankfully we only use the tunnel for low traffic tcp connections. besides, no amount of bad configuration should be able to send unsecured traffic over the tunnel.

i was reading the wikipedia article on "protection racket" and it says this:quote:A protection racket is a scheme whereby a group provides protection to businesses or other groups through violence outside the sanction of the law—in other words, a racket that sells security, traditionally physical security but now also computer security. there's no citation for that and it's not anywhere else in the body, but it sounds great and i hope someone's done some reporting on the cybermafia ![]()

Usually a protection racket implies the extortionists are able to protect you. With ddos I'm not so sure they can. So it's just plain old extortion.

I admit that my understanding of this comes from racist Bugs Bunny cartoons, but I thought the whole thing about the protection racket is the implied threat of violence from the person offering protection in the case that you don't pay. Maybe they provide some amount of protection from other gangs, but only by being known as the gang who runs that neighborhood. I don't think they're posting guards at your location.

Yeah that's pretty much it. But the local ne'er-do-wells know you're under their protection so they won't try to rip you off because the mob will punish them

in a ddos protection racket you'd be paying upstream providers so that they'll blackhole the ddos traffic instead of forwarding it onto you. i guess said providers would be in cahoots with the ddos outfit(s).

goddamnedtwisto posted:no, they're protecting you from them. that's what all the jokes about "nice <x> you have here, shame if something happened to it" come from. Yeah, but as posted above that "protection" kept others from muscling in on their turf and demanding the same "protection". You can't milk a dead cow. This is, amusingly, not so far off from malware authors patching holes after using them, or the best example of the "Microsoft phone call" people actually fixing up the computer (albeit at extortionate prices) after being given remote access. So, the metaphor still fits.

Y'all been watching too much mafia movies. Yeah the main threat is the extortionists themselves but they do also protect you from other criminals. Which is something ddos extortionists simply can't do.

There are virtual network services out there. Private, eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh If you're concerned about surveillance, roll your own. However, Tom the perv trying to pcap other people at Local Coffee Shoppe may be stopped even by something as bad as nordvpn or pia. Try finding one that lets you generate unique device keys Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Aug 19, 2018 |

Using a commercial VPN is better than using unsecured wifi.
