lots of ISPs provide no-server, dial-up service .... they could start with blocking HTTP & other server-type requests going to such ip-address/modem subpools (i.e. customers that are getting dynamic ip address on dial-up lines and have specific service agreements that preclude "server-type" operation on those dial-up service).

It seems a simple enough task to me. It seems to me that the biggest cause of the problems are ignorance and lack of concern as the article suggests. So rather than complain and rant, I've setup a non-technical alert list for my friends and family to keep them informed and safe. I try to keep the list fun and easy to read. Its taken a great deal of time and explaining, but slowly more and more of them are beginning to see the bigger picture. My favorite scenario to lay out for my friends is simple and effective. Lets say that a hacker gains control of your computer and uses it to attack another site/system. Lets say that site is a Fortune 500 company or a military or government site. Even if you don't get into trouble, the FBI could still show up on your door step and take your computer away for analysis. No more email or web for you. Oh, and they'll probably need to sift through your phone records to see if the hacker dialed out from your computer. Kiss your privacy goodbye. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
