RealNetworks Fights Back 07/29/2004 03:19 PM
RealNetworks has issued a statement in reply to Apple's statement. According to RealNetworks, "Consumers, and not Apple, should be the ones choosing what music goes on their iPod."

"Harmony creates a way to lock content from Real's music store in a way that is compatible with the iPod, Windows Media DRM devices, and Helix DRM devices. Harmony technology does not remove or disable any digital rights management system. Apple has suggested that new laws such as the DMCA are relevant to this dispute. In fact, the DMCA is not designed to prevent the creation of new methods of locking content and explicitly allows the creation of interoperable software."

The Connected Camera Fights Back

The Connected Camera Fights Back 05/03/2004 05:18 AM
Every time someone trashes the idea of camera phones because the camera quality sucks, we try to point out that the amazing thing about a camera phone isn't in how it compares to a regular camera, but the fact that camera is connected. Howard Rheingold makes the point especially clear in his latest column for TheFeature, pointing out that one way to fight back against the ubiquitous surveillance cameras all around is to do some "inverse surveillance" with camera phones back at official misdeeds. He makes the point that in the past, when an abuse of power was happening by the police or other authorities, one of the first things they would try to do is to confiscate and/or destroy cameras that witnessed the event. However, if the camera is connected and streaming the images onto the internet in real-time, it doesn't do much good to confiscate the camera. The content has already been published.

Security Protection That Fights Back

Security Protection That Fights Back 06/18/2004 03:57 PM
While there's been plenty of talk about setting up security technology that would "fight back" when computers are attacked, most have stayed away from the idea, admitting that it could cause a lot more damage than it prevents. However, one company is now promoting that very idea and using a bunch of war metaphors to support their position on "information warfare." The idea is that they have a standard network security product, but if things get bad enough, it will somehow go on the offensive against the source of the problem. That "somehow" is a big question mark however. The company won't describe (at all) how they fight back, so there's no way to know what they're really doing. This could be a big problem - especially now that many attacks seem to come from compromised computers. What happens when these sorts of offensive systems then start attacking each other?

Do We Want Spam Software That Fights
Back? 11/04/2003 01:20 PM
It's no secret that spammers are increasingly using dirty tricks to continue the spread of spam - while also doing their best to annoy anti-spam activists. They've been launching denial of service attacks on just about all anti-spam sites, and recently tricked a registrar into taking away SpamCop's domain name. Some in the anti-spam world are sinking lower themselves and looking at ways to fight back by issuing automatic denial of service attacks against links in spam messages. There are a number of obvious problems with such a plan. First of all, it's illegal. More importantly, though, many anti-spam offerings have been shown to be a little too quick on the trigger, leading to many legitimate messages getting tagged as spam - and folks being hosted on the same servers often found their own email blocked. What happens when a denial of service attack hits one of those servers? Even worse, the spammers will begin to look on this as a tool to do denial of service attacks on their own. They no longer need to infect machines with trojans. Just spam the website they want attacked and the anti-spam tools will do the work for them.

Spammers Strike Back

Spammers Strike Back 11/03/2003 05:53 PM
Spammer s Strike Back - It looks like spammers aren't going to stand for your rejection of their messages. One of the current virii (Mimail in various incarnations) is specifically designed to launch dDoS attacks against anti-spam websites. A newsletter at spamhaus.org describes this attack in detail, but you may not be able to read it since the site is currently under attack. In other words, the spammer's attacks are working. Spam fighters are getting driven off the Net. [more inside]

Spamming Back The Spammers

Spamming Back The Spammers 04/19/2004 04:29 PM
Somewhat amusing column from someone who admits they were quite clueless on the spam issue (claiming they actually thought people complaining about spam were talking about the faux-meat) but now that he's realized that the spam he gets isn't actually personally addressed to him (slow guy, I guess), he's decided to spam the spammers back with fake spam of his own. Of course, someone should probably tell him that spammers aren't using real email addresses and he's now (a) annoying other people with more spam and (b) putting himself at risk of being accused of breaking anti-spam laws.

Responding to Spammers -- The Internet
Strikes Back 11/05/2003 10:55 AM
One of the things that I live my life according to is the question: "What would happen if everybody did this?". This is one of the reasons why I would never spam.. If everybody did that, we would end up with, well, the situation we've got with spam. Today, I got so fed up with the spam I've been receiving (I'm up to about 300 spams a day now), that I picked two random spams, went to their web sites and typed in random data into their forms. One of those sites was even kind enough to respond with a toll free number that I could use if I was overly eager to talk to them ( 1-866-561-9216 -- inaccessible from Canada). Then I asked myself my recurring question "What if everybody did this?". I liked the answer. We've been going about it all wrong. We need to start responding to spam.

More Spammers Threatening To Sue
Anti-Spammers 06/11/2004 12:55 PM
It looks like the various spam laws that help legalize spam are making the spammers extra litigious. Following a lawsuit in the US by a spammer against an anti-spam operation for still block their email, some spammers in the UK are threatening Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist. The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people to receive it.
