Now it seems they have also added fake lag to TCP port 80. hlds@machine:~$ tcptraceroute -f 128 -m 128 thepiratebay.se 80 Selected device venet0, address 5.9.249.8, port 41774 for outgoing packets Tracing the path to…
It's fake but his analysis is wrong. TPB is still somewhere in Europe. Otherwise you couldn't have 50ms RTT to thepiratebay.se TCP port 80 from within Europe. I explained here how they do it…
Exactly. Here is a collection of route-servers and looking glasses which tell you what path a route from ISP x to IP y will take. http://www.bgp4.as/looking-glasses You will see that every single route to…
First type traceroute thepiratebay.se Then tcptraceroute -f 128 -m 128 thepiratebay.se http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5319720 for explanation how they did it.

Hetzner's Xeon offerings with ECC aren't that expensive either: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex6 I would expect Softlayer to be more reliable than Hetzner as a service provider but that being said,…

I think it's a bit ironic given the nature of the talk that the link on the video page to seomoz.org has rel="nofollow" while comments down below don't have. No link juice for those who provide content(talk) and all the…
Earlier comment I wrote on another HN discussion: Assuming DNS resolvers work as they should, most bitflips on the wire shouldn't result to anything else than a failed DNS query since DNS packets include the original…
It's already possible for amateurs to use an RC plane/drone without a line of sight, it's called FPV(first person view) piloting. They have a videocamera onboard and transmit the video signal into their VR googles. Then…
I think the decision by Google to not buy Skype is great. Skype uses supernodes/decentralized address book and other trickery to keep the most of the load off their servers/NAT proxies. Whatever advantage Skype got from…
No one mentioned Mixrank in the comments, I like the idea. Maybe someday it will be one of those essential marketing tools like SEOmoz. I for one, am lazy and would prefer just mimic my competitors ads instead of making…
Linux has tsocks and proxychains which override the connect() method with a LD_PRELOAD library and force traffic to go through a socks proxy. Easier than iptables since at least proxychains can be installed with apt-get…
Just a quick note. Make sure your VPS is Xen/KVM/Vmware and not OpenVZ or some other container based virtualization if you want to use OpenVPN since it needs access to tun/tap devices. On OpenVZ based virtual machines,…
