I can understand why that would run afoul of some laws... even though your intent is just to determine if the remote site is trustworthy, from the point of view of the site owner, it can look to be an attempt to exploit a vulnerability.

Configuring iptables to drop (as opposed to reject) is my favorite evil trick to make that a lot more difficult for them :D Allen B. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Frazier (TECHC) Sent: 04/11/14 10:22 AM To: Tech Chat List Subject: [tech-chat] Fwd: from Dc404-Chat It may be ILLEGAL to run Heartbleed health checks
