Got to wonder why HMRC has a large business group which meets regularly but no small business group. Im sure its only becasuse big business needs HMGOV's protection.

Your names not Gordon or Jacqui per chance ?

to the debate XBNM,
Accountant's, and their password protected websites are Unlawfully ISP/Phorm Intercepted for profit too, so feel free to add your trained eye Observations over the projected No'ers , UK regulations, and what not.

anything from a fresh perspective is always welcome, perhaps you and your other professionals (not to forget those "small businesses" you work with every day)can bring a new line of questions to light.

perhaps they might also join CF and contribute if you inform them!

quick question, one i don't know the answer to, it you block sites with host file, i assume that blocks the cookies as well?

peter

Any answer to "fairy tight" would get me banned..

However, I have discovered THIS on my travels, can the honourable members on here please tell me what is good/bad/useful about it?

Many thanks.

Oh, and we have many lurkers, please keep your answers as close to English as you can, the easier the description, the further the spread.

Charter, our fourth largest ISP here, days ago announced that it delayed trials of NebuAd in 4 markets. The delay is technical and not as a result of the controversy, they say. (Be careful not to step in the pile of public-relations spin.)

Great piece bud

Now if you know of more folk who can swap info on Phorm and NeBuad Stateside, this would be mutually beneficial - and our ideas and uncovered materials could work together to make our causes stronger.

What you think?

Some of you other folks should do the same.

Incidentally, I finally fixed my audio issues so I am thinking of doing a regular Phorm Podcast if anyone is interested?

Alexander Hanff

Audio Podcasts are always welcome Alexander, but today Video Podcasts are the far better option for wide coverage.

great for the likes of http://current.com/ coverage and a chance to get the comments played on CurrentTV air segments....

the only real problem is a slight investment in some form of realtime Mpeg2 or Divx/Xvid (they still dont sell cheap AVC VGA/D1) USB Hardware Encoders, attached to the webcam that can stream direct to a VLC file/server.

you can do the smaller QCif/CIF video easy enough with realtime software Encoding at 300Kbit/s for instance.

These do appear to be twins separated at birth. The Wikileaked Phorm results revealed that Phorm used appended javascript there as well. That was a surprise, as I had understood differently.

One of the reasons that I focused my report on the packet injection and forgery is because Phorm not only did it also, but when they switch to redirects they are going to have to perform an even more complicated series of interception and forgeries.

Packet forgery is the "smoking gun" in the Comcast case, our huge "Network Neutrality" controversy in the USA. Evesdropping and packet forgery strikes at the heart of the sanctitity of private communications and the end-to-end model that makes privacy and security work on the Internet.

If these two companies are linked somehow, what one does, the other will eventually do. If Phorm is going from spoofing the end of a HTTP/TCP conversation to the middle of one, eventually so will NebuAd. It will be seen as an even more severe intrusion onto the integrity of the network link, and hopefully stop it before its tried.
