I dont think it was Frogs word for whatever it was that SB did. I
seem to recall several people on the group agreeing that SB had done
something not quite kosher.
I seem to recall that he anonymously said some pretty nasty things about
Frog-Admin and got found out. Then again, I said some nasty things
about Frog-Admin and so did plenty of other people.
BFD. Lots of people have said nasty things about Frog anonymously, including
me right now. Frog is a waste of flesh who the network is better off without.
Champerty was a good guy with pasionate views on anonymity. He also had
a short fuse.
I don't blame him when he was dealing with the second worst remop ever.
I'd rather have Champerty than a dozen psychotic Frogs.

You have to cope with narrowminded idiots, privacy offenders, abusers who abuse

counting rental of the London bombings this summer, the law was passed, Savoni's
clients were anonymous to him.
I think someone who is interested in privacy is a role model for me. A few of
the best technological applications," Pisanu affirmed. As a result, Pisanu has
formed the Strategic Anti-terrorism Analysis Committee, which aims to examine and
take action against all terror threats. Due to new measures, more than a little by

threats. How likely / threatening do you think these things are? Others?

TLA running remailers

computers of remaailer operators targetted with trojans to get keys

legislation requiring keys or some kind of backdoor for all encrypted comm
systems.


Ratcheting up the paranoia:

backdoor in windows (Mr. Gates, for reasons of national security, we would
like future versions of windows to incorporate.....in turn, we will see to it that
the present legal problems of windows are made to go away).

backdoor in intel chips (Mr. Ottelini, in the interest of national
security...can promise....80 million government pcs will use intel, otherwise...)

backdoor in some other computer component - a hard drive, a video card, a
sound card - some often-used component that has, somehow, been turned into a
trojan (Mr. Yamashita, your company here in Osaka will get very favorable import

Subject: Reasons to avoid Eelbash
It is simple: with Frog retiring, there are only 2, possibly 3, adult
remailer operators left. I decided to do my bit for a responsible and
adult remailer system by running Bushwa.
In addition to *this* arrogance, remember he also publicly campaigned for
the delisting of Austria and Dizum. He also told us that because of his
breeding, he was superior to the rest of us.
Yes, those actually were his reasons.

This all came after his failed attempt to institute hate-speech filters and
his "editing" of his users posts. This "superior champion of privacy" used
to read and edit users posts to make sure they met his criteria for
political correctness.

Then came his admission that he was unaware that mixmaster was a server as
well as a client, and that he had no clue what a "partitioning attack" was,
despite having run a remailer for "...over 15 years"
(a blatant,bald-faced LIE).

So his remailer was cut off from the rest of the network, become the one
and only remailer in the history of the network to receive a Remailer Death
Penalty, or RDP. Shortly thereafter, he tried to sneak back in as "Bushwa".

He was busted. Then he came back with "greatwall", despite the fact that
remailer names are supposed to observe an 8 character limit.

So now he is back again, as Asmodeus, although he is still crippled by only
being listed by 8 remailers, and 2 pingers.

His "career" as a remop is studded with examples like the ones above.
If you can find them, you can check out posts about his monitoring
and filtering behavior on past remailers he has run.
The ones we know about are:


eelbash
axloltl
axolotl2
cheshire
congo
bog
bogg
eelbash (again)
bushwa
greatwall
asmodeus
eelbash (again!)
eelbash (again!!)

Last time it took 10 days between announcing his triumphant return,
and having to close down for ADMITTING that he was reading
people's posts and emails AGAIN.

Champerty was a good guy with pasionate views on anonymity. He also had
a short fuse.
So has Pit Digger.. And it is good to have a short fuse when it comes to
remops who run their remailers the way Frog-Admin did and don't
apologize or rectify their mistakes when pointed out by other remops.
You are right :( I was born with it. However, there were some times that I
think I am still alive because of it. There are many other times I regret.
I stopped using Frog when I realized what his headers contained about
abuse. I don't remember exactly what they were but they had someone's
e-mail in them. I would never promote such a ridiculous notion. Frog turned
out to be a bit too pompous for me. I think headers like his were a
disrespect for all remops. If :) I ever ran a re-mailer, I would never
dream of something so evil. I would probably be over protective of it. I
would jump the gun if anything seemed out of place. Probably not the right
thing to do, but I would make darn sure nothing was compromised in a hurry.
But tampering with the re-mailer system like Frog did with his headers goes
against everything I believe in.
This group was much too kind on FA! Just because you run Reliable and
know VB doesn't make you a remailer saint! At least the people who
mattered like the main developer of Mixmaster 2.9-3.0 complained to FA..
(and got abused because of it, that seems to be the pattern here)
It is good FA is gone, or we would have had another flood and many
'sock-puppets'.

As you can see I use ***@dizum.com and have never had any

Subject: Thank You Thrasher - Repost

Hash: SHA1
I have been consistantly pinged by BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG from
ANONYMOUS and mail.brianbinder.com. A tad annoying when mine is a
static commercial account.
Odd that they could ping me from 10.1.10.1 which is the same address
as my new modem/router. They also tried to connect to port 137.
I had to use the internal firewall to block all the connections they
use. Now I can't access my modem/router from this PC. A never ending
battle. :)
I thought you had a static IP now, not some 10.x.x.x crap? Or is
the static IP on the WAN side of the router? If so, no 10.x.x.x
traffic should be coming in to your network (the router should
be able to stop it and the ISP shouldn't be routing it to you in
the first place).
Anyway, block ports 135-139 and 445 at the router. All virus
stuff.
I have everything blocked except port 25 which is forwarded.
I have a static IP. The new modem is a combination modem/router. You are
correct, the static IP is on the WAN side. I have 4 other computers
connected to it. 1 laptop by wireless so I have a wireless router
plugged in to one of the ports. The 3 others are direct connected to the
router. The re-mailer has a fixed IP while I let the other 2 receive
their addesses by DHCP. The wireless laptop receives a 192.168.0.2
address from the
wireless router. The others all have 10.1.10.xxx IPs.
To access the router, I have to type in 10.1.10.1 which brings up the
login page for the router. The re-mailer PC is at a fixed IP of
10.1.10.xxx. (in case they read this, they'll have to guess what xxx
is) The router itself has a built in firewall which I enabled. Then each
computer has a McAffee virus/securitycenter/firewall combination on it.
The only one that gets pinged is this one, the re-mailer. Things slowed
down since I blocked everything including the router. I am surprised it
still works at all.
I just don't know how I can get pinged or whatever from the same address
as my router. I thought a real Domain IP should show up. Again, I am far
from the expert so would really like to know how this can be done. Seems
pretty tricky. I just don't like the name Blackhole. Gives me the
shudders. I sure know what a "blacklist" is and blackhole and blacklist
are somewhat
synonymous.
I picked out 3 out of about 12.
Here they are.
2005/10/15 10:06:26 10.1.10.1:0 (mail.brianbinder.com) 10.1.10.200:0
ICMP Ping
2005/10/15 10:12:35 10.1.10.1:0 (mail.brianbinder.com) 10.1.10.200:0
ICMP Ping
2005/10/15 16:26:11 10.1.10.95:68 (ANONYMOUS) 255.255.255.255:67

ICMP type 0 is ping reply (pong) isn't it? Sure you're not
pinging or tracerouting mail.brainbinder.com at the time?
Maybe this is all OK and they just happened to pick bad names for their
servers. Blackhole? Yuuch!!!
Sender ANONYMOUS? Why not a real name?
Because 10.1.10.95 doesn't have a valid reverse DNS record.
Which it won't, because it's not on the internet. Unless you set
one up locally.
Reminds me of Carnivore. Some stealth project :) A bad pick for a name
at any case.

Special-Use Addresses
Several address ranges are reserved for "Special Use". These addresses
all have restrictions of some sort placed on their use, and in general
should not appear in normal use on the public Internet. The following
briefly documents these addresses – in general they are used in
specialized
technical contexts. They are described in more detail in RFC 3330.
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
The above address blocks are reserved for use on private networks, and
should never appear in the public Internet. There are hundreds of
thousands
That's right.
You're not being pinged or attacked from outside your network.
Don't worry about the name blackhole - that's been assigned by
IANA!
So, in the end, am I getting spoofed by a hacker, or by my own
cablemodem/router?
If it's a spoof (and I very much doubt it), the reply isn't
going anywhere. Besides which, your router shouldn't be routing
those addresses inbound so it's almost certainly coming from
within your network.
Just checked the firewall again. You are right. I shut down all the other
computers except my main and the re-mailer. I just checked the firewall and
was pinged just a little while ago from 10.1.10.95.

The mail.brianbinder.com might be built into the modem router. I just
checked and the 10.1.10.95 is the IP of my main computer.

As I mentioned before, I gave this PC a different workgroup name to keep it
separated from the rest of the network. Maybe the main computer can see
another computer on the network and is trying to connect.

Looks like I am chasing my tail. Whew!!!!!!! Thank you so very much.

That is a great relief. Paranoia, the stuff re-mailers were made for :)

My Warmest Regards and Thanks, you can't imagine what a relief it is. I
hope you can understand why I worry so much about this PC since it is a
re-mailer.

I feel much better being being safe than sorry. Obviously if I knew more, I
wouldn't have gotten so nervous.

I freely admit I am a noobie, so anything that seems out of place gets my
attention.

Operating a re-mailer is a great learning experience. It makes you question
everything related to the security of the system. I know others are
trusting me to operate a secure system and I don't take that trust lightly.

Again, thank you for taking the time to clarify this for me.

My Most Sincere and Warmest Regards to You,

Twisty Admin
