Re: Application Scoped CFC's and the Request Scope
I could see issues. In thinking about standard app flow, the app is instantiated, calling onApplicationStart (where most of your application vars would get created), the onSessionStart, and only then onRequestStart. In that model, reffing the request scope in your application vars would always cause a problem, since the request vars would not yet exist.

(ot) Blocking IPs
I have a host who, for the most part, I am satisfied with. However, he is in the habit of blocking IP ranges for various reasons... DDOS attacks, repeated port scans, etc. I've had complaints from some of my clients who do international business that some people cannot access their sites other parts of the world, like places in Asia, the Middle East, South and Central America, etc. I'm not surprised at the complaints.

Re: (ot) Blocking IPs
Sounds over-zealous. Before I even block a single IP, I'll query my DB to try to determine whether valid traffic *ever* came from that IP. And, in general, blocking IP's is a last resort. I've never blocked a range. There're better ways to prevent the stuff he's trying to prevent. He should have a firewall that's smart/configurable enough to detect and prevent that stuff at a granular level.

RE: (ot) Blocking IPs
I run a SmarterMail server, and have blocked a few IPs, very selectively, only after I notice that consistent spam comes from those IPs that Barracuda or the other RBLs do not catch. No complaints from clients so far. I don't block entire countries or regions, though I have heard of administrators who do so. Some of my clients travel a lot, so I don't block countries. I send out friendly reminders to my clients to teach them how to recognize spam and use spam filters in MS Outlook. I hope at least a few people read them. =) Perhaps you can have a conversation with your hosting provider about using RBLs and configuring a firewall to do the spam blocking that he needs.

Re: (ot) Blocking IPs
The problem with IP blocking is that 99% of the time the IP is a fake IP, This is not true. If you receive a message from an IP address, and the attacker's action relies on a response to that IP address, it will not be a fake IP address. It may not be the original IP address of the attacker, but it is definitely the IP address of the host connecting to you. and that means that legitimate IP's are and do get blocked for no good reason. This is true, in the sense that they may well be on the same range. But blocking individual addresses doesn't scale very well, to be honest.

Re: (ot) Blocking IPs
The problem with IP blocking is that 99% of the time the IP is a fake IP, and that means that legitimate IP's are and do get blocked for no good reason. It really depends on the type of attack. If they're just flodding as part of a DDOS attack then spoofing is viable, but for something like a SQL injection attack the IP can't be spoofed per se. In those cases the biggest problem, in my opinion, is that it is ridiculously easy to reroute (think TOR) and come from a different, unrelated IP in a matter of seconds. -Justin ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350960 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: (ot) Blocking IPs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_spoofing That is only useful for very specific, limited sorts of things. You can't carry on a conversation with a remote server using a spoofed IP address, because the server would have no way to respond. If you're concerned about blocking spam email, for example, you don't have to worry about people sending email through a spoofed IP address, because SMTP is a TCP application, and TCP requires sequence numbers.

Well, I've checked with some contacts I have who are experts in security. One of them works in internet security for the DOD in Arlington, VA, one is the Security Director at a fortune 100 company, and one owns a large nationwide hosting company. All frowned on the practice of blocking port 80 by range of IP and said it's rare and extreme to totally block even a specific IP, but that it does happen. All thought that blocking mail traffic by IP was very normal. I'm having conversations with my ISP about removing the blocks now. He is resistant, but the consensus is against blanket IP blocking.

Well, one thing to note here is that it's easier for big ISPs to not block IP blocks than small ones - big ISPs, by having more bandwidth, more hosts to respond, etc, may have higher tolerance for higher amounts of traffic (whether that traffic is legitimate or not).

Video Streaming Provider
My next project involves a bunch of streaming videos (mp4) for an organization's users. Each user will need to have access to a different set of videos. So, user 1 might have access to videos 100, 211, and 513, while user 2 has access to videos 21, 100, 513 and 624. So I'll need obviously need a different login, password, and access list for each user. I don't want to stream these videos on the organization's site, but rather from an external provider. Either I would just use this provider to stream the videos through a player on the organization's site (preferred), or move the user off to the video vendor's site and have the login and streaming happen there. In that case, I would need to set up the user specific video streaming lists at the provider. Either way, I am hoping to find a streaming video provider that has a straightforward API that I can use to stream the videos and possible to set up users, their passwords, and perhaps their access permissions to specific videos.

Re: (ot) Blocking IPs
We've certainly never done this as a permanent solution. Blocking IPs or ranges at the firewall wouldn't do much under a heavy DDOS, by the time the traffic is there it's probably saturating other parts of the hosts network. Better avenue would be to null route the destination IP on the edge routers and work with upstream providers to determine the source and have them block and/or shutdown the source. Null routing mitigates most of the effect of the DDOS on the rest of your network. Either way blocking at the firewall or null routing destinations would be temporary until the upstream provider could deal with things. I'd bet $1.50 that your host really doesn't understand mitigation or is hosting in another providers data center and doesn't have access to the core network gear. Also sounds like maybe they've had other customers complain about spam from specific IPs and did this as a quick fix.
