They seem to be following thought processes similar to what we suggested at one stage. Ie. Do they own too many IP Addresses? Yes? Block.

Not a bad metric but IPv6 is setup to issue a psychotic numbers of #IPAddresses though, yes?

How many IPAddresses does Sucuri control?

Did you see the section on building your own list for a #dotcon? Might be useful as an addition. Apparenyly they haven't explored IBM and a couple others yet either.

Could yes, but it could mean the opposite also. Govts are likely to hide some communications using systems like I2P/Tor.

The DDOS appears to have been to deanonymise the lead dev of #i2prouter who mysteriously disappeared earlier this month. Unless that dev was in Russia we don't believe I2P was attacked by them.

Can we determine the blocked #IPAddresses from the #DDOS from the recent source code/updates of I2P? Answer will be there in plain sight.

@james
Its a terrible idea to use a #extortionRacket like CloudFlare even once or for a short time, any data passed to and from the server is intercepted and assessed during that time.

Does #Mastodon have any default #DDoS protections? Such as temporarily blocking #IPaddresses, and other measures?

Agree, anyone involved in #foss ought to know to use #I2P.

@bbbhltz @fosstodon

when writing #technicalDocumentation - don't use real #urls or #ipAddresses. you never know what will grab those and use them.

there are reserved #domains and #ipRanges for just this!

for #url: the top-level-domains
.test, .example, .invalid and .localhost and the domain example.com are reserved

for ip-adresses the blocks 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24 are reserved

they are always safe to use in #documentation

The DeCloudflare git project is hosted at all good, git repos.

It also has a list of CloudFlare #IPAddress ASN from which anyone can produce a list of #IPAddresses to block, for as long as needed.

We encourage #Mastodon Fedi instances to volunteer to operate an opt-in bot called #MitmGator or #MitiGator, a friendly alligator that warns followers when they post a link to CloudFlare.

Please come forward.

Don't sit idly by and wait for fedi to disintegrate.

We are considering updating the C.A.G.E.F.A.M. acronym.

We feel we may need to add #dotCons out of #China that own more than 1 million #IPv4 addresses. Do #TenCent, #ByteDance or #Alibaba own extreme numbers of #IPAddresses?

Similarly do #IBM or #Oracle have over 1 million?

Together we can make an acronym with even greater purpose.

Trying to rank the #dotCons is not so important.

Once any have over 1 million #IPAddresses you know they can be a menace, no matter what they say or do.

We remember someone very intelligent saying governments should measure #antitrust, not just by industry buyouts but by the number of IP addresses they own.

We're inclined to agree. Some have millions of IP addresses (#IPv4). One million is more than enough.

Likewise, 16m #IPv6 = too many.

#monopoly #CAGEFAM #akamaI #clOudFlare #amAZON

@jeffcliff
We think the first step is setting a limit on how many #IPAddresses a person or entity has access to.

1million IPv4 and 16mn IPv6 is should be more than enough.

@tchambers

The article above has some strange ideas, like rejecting #startpage because they use a purple colour?

Unfortunately #PreSearch requires JavaScript to search? Strange. Maybe there is a #makeJavascriptMandatory movement we're not aware of.

BTW, #DDG is literally hosted on Microsoft-owned #IPAddresses/ servers.

@boilingsteam

Quietly (but finally) adds to the #firewall blocklist, TurdSite #IPAddresses.

#CIDR #blockList

Is it ethical for a #multinational to not publish their #ipAddresses for critical services, putting aside for the moment the question as to whether it is ethical for a multinational to operate critical #infrastructure.

#ethics

We are getting desperate, basically the award for most the stingey, money-hungry and privacy-abusing #registrar for #internetNumbers goes to… *drumroll*

APNIC

They basic want to do a cavity search of your rectum and beyond to search their database. Does anyone know how to get #CIDRs out of these prickly propositionists?

#APNIC #IPAddresses #whois

They say #cypherpunks write code:

NEW #INTERNET LAW:– No corporate entity may have control over more that 1 million IPv4 addresses, and 16 million IPv6.

Ready. Fedi. Go!!

If they can't operate an #ISP with 17 million #IPAddresses they ought to go for a long swim on a short ocean (or something like that).

Boost to summon the #cypherpunks.

#tooBigToExist #theInternet #ISPs #antiTrust

NEW #ANTITRUST LAW:– No entity may have control over more that 1 million IPv4 addresses, and 4 million IPv6.

We feel like this is a fair thing.

If you can't operate an #ISP with 5 million then go sit in that corner and cry us a river.

#IPAddresses #theInternet #ISPs

SINCE THE START of coronavirus, the filesize of #IPAddresses owned by #Amazon saw a more than four fold increase!

Going from 280kb to 1.2Mb!

https://web.archive.org/web/20200403022547/https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json

We realise filesize is a fairly loose metric for #IPRanges but its alarming nonetheless.

Last we heard, #HTML is for #website content and #CSS and webBrowsers are almost exclusively for #layout and #presentation.

Are #centralPlanners in the US getting other ideas?

(Also related are #HTTPResponses or #IPAddresses for learning whether a site is #Cloudflare)

#Resnet (pronounced re-snet) verb: to reset ones internet, or to switch ones modem on and off again.

This can also be done in #Australia as a form of #protest against #dataRetention laws whereby #IPAddresses assigned to users must be stored by #ISPs for two years.

By using automated #resnetting methods, #protestors were able to overload the #dataRetention system.

(may not be a true story… yet)
