Not to mention that windows would be illegal!?!!?!
Microsoft Windows (most versions) allows masquerading and has a built in firewall (newer versions).
It's true that it seems like possession of technology itself has become a crime. A sad day for ''lawful good'' characters.

Ok,
That makes alot more sense. I'm still a little worried about many aspects of this law. First, supposedly "we the people" voted for it, and I knew nothing of it. Second, people have brought up the question about firewalls, and NAT. If I can't conceal my systems lawfully, then that's not right....

This is a great example of what happens when legislators let special interest lobbyists write the bills. The lobbyists are narrow in their focus, caring only about the interests of their clients, in this case apparently the MPAA, without a care about the public interest in general. The legislators...

I certainly hope that this stupidity doesn't spread into Ohio. I'm doing an independant research project at my school using honeypots, specifically, honeyd. It sure would suck to go to jail for doing a school project.

No more NAT?
Sounds like a great excuse to catch up with the rest of the world in deploying IPv6. Sure, there will be headaches, particularly in security, and vendors will have to get moving on refining their IPv6 technology, but we are already behind Europe and Asia in IPv6 rollout.

This is _really_ stupid.
Look, Provos has 0 concern about DMCA problems. He wants to have something to bitch and moan about. Just like dugsong did when he put up the "Censored by the Digital Millenium Censorship Act" bullshit on his webpage (monkey.org/~dugsong).
