Didn't you all get your instruction packet on how to do a DNS attack? - Is that the same one as the DNC attack?

[EUPHORIC]

"What am I missing?" They were referring to cache poisoning. It is possible on poorly configured DNS servers to fake an authoritative query and temporarily associate a domain name with an IP addy of your chosing which will effectively redirect traffic to a web site of ones chosing. Years ago I demonstrated live and online how this was done for some law enforcement types by changing my own net name to www.whitehouse.gov.

If someone IS doing this to them successfully it is indicative of very poor IT practices and I sure hope they are redirecting their site to some nice filthy porno sites! :)

[God luvs America]

The desperate are getting even more desperate....goodbye Err America and thanks for wasting the money of the foolish libs who blindly gave money to a project that had no future from the get go :)

[ArmstedFragg]

you can slander an enterprise

Just out of curiosity, what exactly would the enterprise's loss be given this fact set?

[ArmstedFragg]

The RMS level measured by RIAA compensation isn't really OTT.

. So then you're saying the SMPTE code caused the SP-DIF input to lose the MIDI data?

[Bernard]

So what you're saying is that an SUV did it?

[tapatio]

He only wishes that many people went to the Air America site.!

Wishful thinking on his part.

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Keep dreaming Pinnochio!

[dwills]

the extent to which said slander contributes to the marginalization of Free Republic and the attendant loss of hits, donors and potential revenue

looks like the real question might now be whether a judgment would be collectible, but it'd be nice to have put the nail in AA's coffin

[Dan from Michigan]

Why the F**k would we do that? We don't have to. Mark, you people have so many no talent assclowns there, that you can defeat yourselves without our help. Al Franken is your top dog? He's a whiny bitch!

[ChefKeith]

Did Your Kids get online again?

You would think after the Launch Code thing they would have learned. (not to get caught)...

[stylin_geek]

I dunno, if the server they use to host the site is comparable in power to the radio stations that carry Air America, I would imagine the 486 they are using to host the site would crash after a couple of dozen web page requests.

[fire_eye]

HMMM... Thanks to Walsh's paranoid delusions, I now know what a DNS attack is - and thanks to this thread, I now know how to construct one. HMMMMM....... "All Your IP Address Are Belong To Us!!!!"

[CarolTX]

Is that DOS-RAM DNS on the MIDI-ROM...or M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E?

[netmilsmom]

I would love to see the graphic where some very smart !coughFReepercough! person hacked the DU and put "All you Senate are belong to us"

[I still care]

I don't have that, but this is a fun thread.

This is the live election 2002 thread, always worth a pleasurable peruse.

[mrustow]

He's projecting, because his supporters have hacked into and temporarily shut down every conservative Web site I know of, including (IIRC) FR.

[festus]

I must confess I visited it myself. So if two freepers visit and it falls over in a heap as the TRS-80 they are hosting it on can't handle the load then technically I suppose it was a DoS attack.

;-)

[manic4organic]

He should be sentented to wear Air America (thong) panties on his head. Wait, that's too cruel and unusual.

[BlueLancer]

DNS ...
WTF ...
LOL ...
PDQ ...

LSMFT?

[Constitution Day]

A-OK.
