Coincidence? Subject: NSA Resources For Rapid Targeting and Routing Analysis Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2007 08:53:31 +0200 (CEST)
In order to send ICMP or TCP packets (or spoofed UDP packets), "pinging" for rapid acquisition and analysis of a target IP's packet traffic routing data at the Internet IXP-level, NSA has primarily used, starting earlier than early 2006, the following IP ranges, with identification information where available, for initial rapid target "pings." Other resources for subsequent tracking of a target's IP packet traffic have been previously reported via Cryptome.org. NetRange: 216.218.128.0 - 216.218.255.255 CIDR: 216.218.128.0/17 Hurricane Electric 760 Mission Court Fremont CA 94539 US DNS: ns3.he.net [216.218.132.2]sandy.thehideout.net. ns2.he.net [216.218.131.2]sandy.thehideout.net ns1.he.net [216.218.130.2]sandy.thehideout.net. Previously, while using the name of "FAST COLOCATION SERVICES," with an address in Wasilla AK (Alaska), USA; DNS was: sandy2.thehideout.net [72.52.64.32] sandy.thehideout.net [72.52.64.32] * * The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. --Mencken
