Sommelier writes "As reported by KATU in Portland, Oregon, a man was arrested for parking outside a coffee shop in nearby Vancouver, Washington, and using their open wireless AP — for three straight months. '"He doesn't buy anything," Manager Emily Pranger says about the man she ended up calling 911 about. "It's not right for him to come and use it."' Turns out the guy was a registered sex-offender as well." A different computer expert might have pointed out some ways to see if anyone is piggybacking on a wireless signal (many APs have a Web-interface client list), or even suggested something like NoCatAuth http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot?m=6178

InfoWorldMike writes "Security researchers have found a way to seize control of a laptop computer by manipulating buggy code in the system's wireless device driver, reports Robert McMillan. The hack will be demonstrated at the upcoming Black Hat USA 2006 conference during a presentation by David Maynor, a research engineer with Internet Security Systems and Jon Ellch, a student at the U.S. Naval postgraduate school in Monterey, California. They used an open-source 802.11 hacking tool called LORCON (Lots of Radion Connectivity) to throw an extremely large number of wireless packets at different wireless cards and see if they fail. They declined to disclose the specific details of their attack before the August 2 presentation, but said it was potentially a huge hole because exploiters could simply sit in a public space and wait for the right type of machine to come into range to attack. "This would be the digital equivalent of a drive-by shooting," said Maynor. The victim would not even need to connect to a network for the attack to work, he said." http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot?m=6175

http://www.infoworld.com/article/reuters/2006-06-25_N25347620.html FON makes a country of open hackable WIFI networks. It will sell routers for 5 dollars but the person buying them promises to leave the router open for one year. With one million such routers in Spain you have a whole WIFI network. But a WIFI network is as secure as the workstations and networks are behind it. A router is a gateway to the internet but also to the internatl machine connected to it (and if the router itself has software or design faults it can be taken over itself). This would be illegal in belgium under the new telecom law because an ISP would have to provide its customers with the necessary protection (firewall, antivirus) for free. As the ISP itself can't do so because the routers aren't protected by a great firewall and antivirus of the ISP itself (every router becoming an ISP itself) FON will have to provide them with automatic updates for the routers, automatic configuration and auditing, helpdesk, firewall and antivirus for the stations behind it. Off course, this wasn't in the business model I presume ? So drive to spain, collect zombies while on holiday. This would be new stuff a zombie network of routers

WIKIPEDIA IS A DANGEROUS WIKIPROJECT, WIKIPROJECTS CAN BE BETTER
Wiki as a program is responsible for a new way of treating information and organizing discussions and final texts. While nowadays we have to scroll and copy-paste in open mailinglists, discussionbulletins, newsgroups and blogcomments, wiki gives the possibility to work together on the same text and see the immediate effect of each change in the context of the whole adapted text. This makes a discussion much more interesting, easier and prevents some misunderstandings. The wiki software an sich is very diverse and has the possibilities to oblige people to register or to work on a copy of the text before changing the final text (sandbox) and to defend its original texts against spamming and edit-wars. It comes to no surprise that wiki is spreading around the internet like wildfire. In a controlled environnment it gives a site the possibility to have an unique way to organise feedback from customers, members or readers. For encyclopedias, technical works and factual information sites it could give the possilibity to let others correct mistakes or actualise very quickly information that would otherwise take months or even years to publish on paper. These books-of- facts would become this way even more living books of ever expanding intelligence and information. Encarta is moving this way, but I have no doubt that others will follow. This could change the way internet looks and organises interaction and discussion just as instant messenging, webmail and blogs have done.

The problem is not with the software, but with the way it is used by some to try to bully the internetworld into thinking that information is as data and transplant the ideology of open-source - everything should be open to change by anyone into anything - on informational data. The same three mistaken philosophical premises are used by the 'open-information' believers that we find in the debates between bloggers and journalists (news can be made by everyone and so everyone is a journalist), and between 'open source' ideologues and their counterparts (of which some are part of the linux productline). The first one is that all information, like all data is equal. This is not the case, you have mistakes, rumor, lies, propaganda, stockmarket influencing, fraud, advertising, hate, fanatism, ........ This information is not equal to facts, research, peer reviewed double checked information, ....... Mistaken information can have as much - or even more - impact than faulty code. Stock markets can crash, careers can be crushed and panics can be exploited by misleading or faulty information. The second one is that every person is equal. This is not the case either. Not everybody has the same ethics, knowledge, attitude, goals and values. This second premise is important because it supposes that every person has the capabilities of being or becoming a good person working at his best for the common good. If this is the case, than why is the internet such a chaos of viruses and spam ? The third one is that the community is bigger and more important than all the bad persons together and that at the end the community will always win. This supposes that this community is very great, very active and spends its freetime, money and knowledge permenantly in correcting the mistakes and bad behaviour by others. It supposes that the bad persons are not organised, not professional and not powerful. These three premises you can also find back in pure evangelism, socialism, communism, anarchism, rationalism, enlightment,.... Their view of men, groups and society was as idealistic and far from reality as those in their time.

The problem is not with wiki but with wikipedia and more precise with the way it operates. Wikipedia is the biggest wikiproject on the net with about 30.000 individual contributors and with a million articles in more or less 112 languages. But the distribution of this knowledge is far from global and is concentrated on a few languages and a few subjects. The problem with wikipedia as the most visible wiki project is that people will think that any wiki project must be built on the same premises, the more because the frontman is giving interviews and publishing around the web about wiki as if his way of managing the information-flow on wikipedia is the best way for all wiki's. The second problem with wikipedia is that it presents itself as an encyclopedia, while it is just a community-build-database-of-common-knowledge. Some parts of the debate about the wikipedia would be resolved if it would state clearly that it is NOT an encyclopedia because almost all of its sections have no fact-checking, peer review or editorial controls, even if wiki reader is a first intentional step in that direction. It is in that sense that wikipedia should only be the first step in your information search on the internet and not the last. It is a perfect instrument to understand the relativity of information and news because anybody can change anything into anything. The third problem is that aside from wikipedia a few other projects are being launched that are even more dangerous but seem to get some of limelight of the wikipedia project. Wiki-books let you change anything in any book that is being published as wiki or being copied from the public domain (but does this mean you can wiki any public domain book, I don't think the public domain licence nor the artistic rights accepts this). You can do this with translations, technical and political books if you install the necessary textual and registration controls, but to let anyone change anything in any wiki book, makes the books totally unbelievable. The same goes for leaked public documents. Their is no problem with a wiki project in which people write together stories or rassemble living history, but changing actual or old literature and documents is a bridge too far. Another project is about open news in which everybody can become a journalists and anybody can change the articles they find there. They suppose that people can write factual, neutral and objective articles about the events they are seeing or participating in and can forget all their social, political and religious values and opinions. Nowadays it looks more like a forum for people writing about their countries, protests and issues that seem to be forgotten by the international press.

Another problem with wikipedia and its satellite projects is that they are supposing that everything has to be redone, rewritten and re-invented. You have on the internet already huge collections of knowledge and information that only need to be safeguarded and updated. Some of these sites aren't updated anymore or could disappear from the internet together with their hosts or servers (breakdown). Maybe the wiki project can be useful to copy those dead projects (if the authors agree) so that these sites can continue to live (the internet archive would be an ideal partner for this). If that wikiproject would accept that the creative commons license would be acceptable for adopted content , this would be feasable. If they would force every author in accepting that anybody would be able to change their information into anything without any safeguards many authors would hate the idea to loose their artistic rights on their material totally.

The biggest problem with wikipedia is the ongoing discussion about elitism, academic participation and the terms in which this discussion is being held and the unsupportive behaviour of the community if specialists are being harassed, flamed or being forced into an edit-war. It is one of the biggest contradictions of the open-x community thinking. The ideology is very beautiful but when you surf on bulletinboards and discussionlists searching for answers or following some debates, you are immediately amazed by the intensity; rudiness and total lack of support from that community towards people who disagree or who are looking for answers (newbies especially). One of the problems of Wikipedia is that this attitude and lack of open-ness has a negative impact on specialists and volunteers who are willing to participate but do not find the energy to accept and respond to all that sillyness and those insults. Professors and specialists have also a public image and sometimes do not want to enter a public forum where this kind of debate is the normal standard because the public fall-out for them could be much bigger than just some insults in a forum. It is strange to see that an ideology which is based on getting the best out of people for the common good doesn't want to interfere in situations where knowledge is being pushed away by stupidity or very reluctantly. Debate can only be productive if it leads to a better understanding or a more complete presentation of an issue. It is important that an community-builded knowledge database like wikipedia has such an debate and forum environment. Not only for its own correction of the issues and facts that it publishes, but also as an example for existing and new democracies that rational and factual debate can be held in a normal way. It is a missed change that it doesn't do this at the moment and imperative that it does so in the near future if it wants to survive. The number of bulletinboards, blogs, usenetgroups and online communities who have disappeared because there was no respect and no rational debate should clearly show the problems it will face if the samen situation continues. The biggest one will be that the hardworking volunteers will be put off by this kind of silly and rude behaviour by the few and the lack of enforcement by the administrators while the silly, rude, fanatic,..... gonzo's will come flocking to this environment to scalp some volunteers just for the fun of it.

But wikipedia has for the moment only itself to blame. The total disrespect for fact-checking, academics, researchers and structurering information only leads to this attitude towards them and the feeling by the mob that they are allowed to do anything.. It also explains why the administrators have so many critics when they try to intervene to protect knowledge, expertise and fact against insults and silly edit-wars. It also explains why wikipedia can't decide that some texts are now more or less final and shouldn't be changed anymore unless there is an objective reason to it and let those changes be controlled by peer-review.

There are also bigger and more important fights about access2information as making research that is being done with public money free for the public for public consumption with for example the creative commons license. Other initiatives from Soros and even the OECD have to be mentioned.

The belgian government has decided not to offer free hosting to wikipedia and I think this is a good decision taken everything above in consideration. It would be better to invest in our own wiki's and use them intelligently for things they are meant to do, not to make it a playground for stupidity. I think that a living history would be nice initiative, I think adopting dying informative websites would be good initiative. I think translating older flemish and french cultural works to modern language would be a good initiative.
And the real revolution of wiki will be in the workplace where we will have wiki's with passwords where people can work together on documents in a way that gives a better overview for anyone. Just as blogs are changing intranets. The responsibility with the founders and keepers of wikipedia is therefor enormous to lay the groundwork for a responsible interactive web of accessable knowledge and discussion without all the disadvantages that the usenet, IRC, some forums, chatcanals and blogs are showing us.

Let thousands of wiki's live and wikistupedia die.

In belgium the minister for IT Vanvelthoven has said that there will be a content firewall on the information routes to belgium blocking illegal content, such as child porn, but not only that, while not specifying what exactly and how it will be done. They while form a committee to decide what. Blocking is a great word because it will only display a page that you are going to see illegal content if you go any further, while not blocking this. The blocking of malware and viruses will be done by the other means of security that the ISP's have legally to put into place according to the new telecomlaw (but which still has to get the budgets and manpower to be put into place). This malware-blocking is without any doubt the only way to clean our information routes. But this may be not enough for ebanking, ecommerce, egov and etrade which should be put in a restricted zone with which you can only communicate over certain ports and all portscanning and application attacks are filtered out. For me these servers should also be connected via different routers and maybe all other connections from other applications on the pc connected to these restricted zones are blocked or disactivated and computers without antivirus and or firewall have to pass a online security check and update before being allowed access. This will give the security people and installations of those operations more time to concentrate on phishing and other kinds of fraud by humans. But that is a totally other discussion.

Putting a contentfirewall on the belgium main routers to the internet is very bad idea if it would be for everyone. You should offer it as an option you can choose and in which you are presented with different other choices. With a few examples I will show that it is a good idea if it is optional and impossible to execute if it is to be implemented for all.everyone.

Let's go back to the belgium illegal content firewall. The first question is how they are going to block this illegal content, because it ain't that simple as it looks if you have already 5 years of experience doing just that for a network. Take for example child porn. To begin with 'underage sex' is infiltrating online porngalleries at an increasing rate and this is even more the case in websites where people may freely upload stuff (and this is also beginning to pose a problem with more general video upload sites like mytube). So how are you going to block the link to underage sex and keep the rest open and how are you going to decide if it is underage sex (-16 years in belgium but -14 years in Portugal for example). And you can't always see it on the pictures (if you see a head or more than some intimate parts). You can decide to block all porn, but porn is not illegal in Belgium. It can be illegal to watch porn on a private network of your work, school or library but what you do at your home is your problem. Sex with animals is illegal and posting films and pictures doing this on a belgian server is also illegal but if you watch at it at home without touching your animal, who is going to sue you for something ? And even if you say that you are blocking only child porn sites (how are you going to decide something is a child porn sites). You can try to work with internationally distributed lists (but each list has its mistakes as the ISP's in UK found out). The other problem with childporn is that it is nowadays hidden in the deep underground web (or you can block the IRC, BBS, private clubs and private servers alltogether but how are you going to know which files are on these servers without having a password access and how are you going to obtain those passwords). And even if you are blocking sites that are under investigation from the police for childporn but are not yet blocked yet, than you will indicate to the very fast moving pedo's that they are discovered by the robotsoftware and investigators. Other sites that are now being used by pedo's are sites with pictures of children on the beach and so on or for child models and of which the pornlinks are hidden inside. That is the reason why it is not a good idea to put pics of your kids online in swimwear or nude without password protection. You can also find childporn on p2P network and on open file and videosharing servers that are popping up all over the net........ Will you block them all ? Well this is the best option, but it is impossible to execute on the whole belgian internetpopulation in an absolute manner. Out of experience I know that it is not possible to block everything at once. Blocking content has to go one step at a time, even in a network environment with important information on it. We are not China.

It is so easy to counter that you can't impose it because for example a blocked site can be seen by a proxy or when you go to the cache of Google (even if you put Google in safe mode). As the cache is the IP adres given to the filtering machine, the site itself in the cache or proxy is not blocked..... Otherwise there are hundreds of open (and hacked) proxies all over the world (and in belgium) that will serve as cache to go to the blocked sites. P2P sites are also transforming and filesharing is becoming encrypted (will you decrypt all traffic that passes to see if the files are mediafiles). How will you treat the Onion netoworks (everybody hides behind everybody (like attackers behind zombie networks)) How will you be sure that you are blocking a belgian pc (and not a for example an american one? and have a lawsuite or a press problem ?) or will you block the onion networks also, even as they are the basis for discussion and debate with people from countries behind dictatorial firewalls ? So there is no way to block for everyone everything without having enormous consequences on the usability of the internet and the freedom of the users of the internet and so the freedom of speech.

So the best solution is to make it a voluntary option for network administrators to use. For example in many networks it would make it simple if they would have for their internetconnection a 'clean route' for their users.For many business it would be the cheapest choice to clean out already their network without controlling all the time their users. Porn and P2P and IRC are the three main ways of infecting a network with bots and viruses and it is for most business to costly to defend and clean their network from these everyday changing challenges. Putting this option at the main routers of belgium to offer as a choice for many and an obligation for others (public administrations and every firm working with important personal and financial information) is an investment in data security. With an adapted login tool from the ISP you could chose if you log in on the clean route or the free route (but with malware cleaning in both cases). In this case you can for example only connect to ebanking and egov sites if you are choosing the clean route. Portables from administrations and big firms can have the obligation to choose the clean route if they log in.

But if you are choosing the free route, you should also be possible to choose certain categories of content to be blocked. You could surf and have a pornblock up all the time, even if you are doing IRC, P2P or sharing home videofiles.
The biggest problem is what you will do with the logs of this firewall because each filtering device will make logs or will have the possibility to make such logs. In this case the problem with these logs will become even more dangereous and explosive if this filtering became mandatory for everybody. For the networkadministrators of the public and private networks that choose (or are obliged to) these clean pipes, it solves the problem that they just block and they don't know and don't handle the logs. The problem is that if there are logs about the traffic of their networks (which already exists for all the traffic at the ISP (and their firewall and/or proxy) are now more filtered to questionable internetuse in their networks and which can be used internally or in court against persons or their institutions themselves. Global statistics can give some indication to the internet administrators of those networks if they have already some good filtering done or if they have to review the defenses they have already in place. So will these logs be accessable to the networkadministrators, will they be accessable to police and intelligence services and will they be usable by lawyers ? Notwithstanding all these judicial and legal questions and procedures and the cost and time they take, having complete logs makes it a very costly project that will ask an enormous hardware, software and programming effort that will even be much bigger than the installation and upgrading, finetuning of the contentfirewall itself. The best decision to take is not to make logs and just block what needs to be blocked. It will even not be obvious to use these logs in court or in internal sanctions. It will also make it easier for individuals to use the clean pipe. One can have also a scheme in which one can ask to view the traffic the pc is making in real-time for its own account to inspect if there is traffic coming from programmes or spyware that is unwanted and (because the computers are so powerful today) not obvious.

The last thing I don't understand is the interstitial page. First viruses and spyware can make clicking something automaticcally (as is hiding the page from a certain ip adres). Secondly I don't really understand the meaning of it. Does it mean that if you go ahead and see the so-called blocked content that you are neglecting a warning and that you are totally responsible for all consequences. It means that if you see this page in the logs of the browser somewhere that someone has been somewhere.... And if people choose a clean pipe, you don't need those pages. You just block, period. And what exactly are you setting on the pages. Illegal content (it is not always), dangereous content (it is not always),..... ?

To recapitulate

The content firewall can't be mandatory for anyone if this project is to succeed. The ISP's can provide a new login-connection software that can give the option to chose which connection you made. The voluntary content firewall can be used as a clean pipe to a ebiz, ebank, egov zone

The voluntary should have several options outside the egov-ebiz zone so you can limit what you will and not will do (for example no porn, but yes to IRC or P2P)
The voluntary content firewall can be made mandatory for public administrations, police forces and for example financial institutions.

The clean pipe should also block (I call some categories)
- protect against known phishing sites
- protect against known spyware-virus and malware sites
- block hacked sites as long as they are hacked (see http://be-hacked.skynetblogs.be)
- protect against hardporn sites
- protect against IRC, BBS, Dialup, Dial in, remote control sites

and with those you will already have your hands full, every day in and out. But if you do this, you will already block a lot of real dangereous sites and content. And the belgian internet can become a lot safer, also for oldies and newbies.

There was a time that developers and websites closed their sites and codes or tried to get money for it, but after Google, Amazon and ebay followed by Yahoo, flickr and a whole bunch of others, API (application program interface) ar becoming free for others to integrate or to use - under certain conditions.

This is the most interesting part of it because it can replace the huge and expensive webservices model by a more lightweight and easily adoptable model that can spread like wildfire as RSS and blogs did.

The Web is changing. The 30-year-old terminal-like technology it was originally is gradually giving way to new ways of doing things. The power of AJAX allows for rich user interaction without the trouble that has bugged traditional web applications. Building upon the wonderful Prototype JavaScript library, script.aculo.us provides you with some great additional ingredients to mix in. http://script.aculo.us/

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/

First you had barcodes Aura's ( Microsoft research project) current focus is on reading bar codes because of their ubiquity on everyday objects and products. But its design is agnostic to the type of sensor technologies used to interact with objects and could be used with others such as emerging Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, Smith said.The Aura client, once available, also could run on various combinations of hardware and with other wireless networks besides WiFi, such as cellular networks. Smith, for example, demonstrated a PocketPC equipped with a bar-code reader and connected to Verizon Wireless' network. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1525736,00.asp apply for an aura account http://aura.research.microsoft.com/Aura/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabName=Home So if we installed barcodes on identity cards ?

From the abstract, "At the very simplest level, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies allow the transmission of a unique serial number wirelessly, using radio waves. Attaching an RFID tag to a physical object allows the object to be 'seen' and monitored by existing computer networks and back-office administration systems...This TechWatch report provides a brief discussion of these issues as well as a detailed examination of RFID technology, including some of the current uses within research, administration and teaching and learning. The report also includes an overview of the significance of RFID as an enabling technology towards achieving the 'seamless' and 'calm' vision of ubiquitous computing, the role of the Internet of Things, and plots a future trajectory for RFID development within the wider context of wireless, networked environments."

These tags, made by Libramation, contain several writable memory 'pages' that store the books' barcodes and loan status.... Brushing a thatch of dark hair out of his eyes, Molnar explains that about a year ago he discovered he could destroy the data on the books' passive-emitting RFID tags by wandering the aisles with an off-the-shelf RFID reader-writer and his laptop.

Why is Google indexing parked domains? Money. What information on a parked domain needs to be organized for general search? None or almost none. All this does is add an extra paying click between the user and the information they are after. It builds millions of indexable billboards into the index so people will pay for traffic that they could get straight from the SERPs if the parked domains weren't there.
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/11369-5-10.htm The problem is that Google owns oingo.com, one of the largest "parked domain" companies out there and not only indexes them in their database but also serves advertising on them and integrates these sites with the database of the normal sites. the fraud is
Yahoo! and Google are breaking this “Pay Per Click Promise” by allowing these ads to be placed on pages other than search results. This type of Syndication Fraud is running rampant across the web particularly among parked pages (where domain speculators purchase domain names for the sole purpose of monetizing the natural traffic on them) and dynamic doorway pages (dynamically generated pages are created to fool search engines so they can show up on natural/organic search results).
http://www.threadwatch.org/node/6110 Some advertisers complained about this and got this response from Google when they didn't want to accept the fact that even the site exclusion tool for their adcampaigns didn't allow them to opt out from such domainparking (fraud) services. I understand that you're concerned that your ads may be appearing on Google-owned-parking service.com even though you've added this URL to the site exclusion tool.
Google-owned-parking service.com is part of the Adsense for Domains networks and although most of these sites may be excluded with the site exclusion tool there are some exceptions that may not. This is due to the fact that some of these sites are of a hybrid type and are considered both part of the search and the content network. Oingo is one of these exceptions. To learn about the difference between the search and the content network please visit https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6119&hl=en. To effectively filter your ads from this site you may want to consider opting certain campaigns out of the search network. If you opt out of the search network, your ad will no longer appear on your unwanted site, nor will it appear on any other site in the search network. However, opting out of the search network may significantly reduce your ad coverage and visibility to prospects.
http://www.threadwatch.org/node/6110#comment-37313 translated : If you opt out our domainparking service, than your visibility across the whole database will suffer. Blackmail. The other problem is that by owning Oingo Google owns now domainnames with tradenames from her direct competitor and off which these domainnames have as sole purpose to redirect traffic from this sole competitor (source Microsoft research) Domain: google.com
It is also a problem that Google serves advertising on these kind of pages, which would be the same as placing ads on stolen cars.

Rules for the organisation of a responsable and secure organisation of the domainnamespace

The importance how you organise the distribution and of the legal mainframe that you have established for your own domainname can't be underestimated. It is the only namespace on the world world web over which a government can have some control and in which they can try to accomplish some social and legal goals. It is the Constitution of your national presence on the web and it will organise the character of your regmie. It is also the .most important publicity for a small country and its businesses which can have trouble establishing themselves on the .com territory and kepping their domain protected. Having a domainnamespace that is known to be rather well protected and regulated has another advantage for the businesses that are present. Customers and contacts can suppose that they are rather safe doing business with you online in that domainspace and the businesses doing business in your country can decide that for this reason it is in their interest to buy a domainname and host these services close to their local clients and contacts.

The government will have to take 3 decisions about this constitution of her namespace

The first decision is if they want to extend the namespace with subdomains that can create clearly defined and hard to get subdomains that indicate a higher level of trust about ownership of these specific subdomains in the eyes of the general public. This can be done to create a subdomainspace for governmental, educational, financial, social organisations or Trademarked names. Each subdomainspace can have its own policies that may be as strict as their political goals (ex organise all egov projects in a specific subdomain). You can't give a .gov subdomain to a non-governmental institutions or a tm defended subdomain to an individual because this will be the ideal way to undermine public trust into all others domains in that subdomainspace.

If you decide not to use a subdomainspace, than you should be aware that you will need to define clearly the rules that make a difference between all those sites in the same domainspace and the different goals and intentions of their owners. Even without subdomains you are obliged to defend and protect instantly and permanently the possible rights and infringements on those rights of private companies and public institutions if you don't want the general surfing public to lose faith in the whole of your domainspace. The level of trust that you can accomplish makes that your domainspace is not automaticcally blacklisted all over the world because it is used by spammers, phishers and the porn-industry as is the case with several domains now. The level of trust can also be the basis on which you can develop the ebusiness and the services behind it.

You can prevent some misschief, but you won't be able to filter out all kinds of hijacking, so you will need a legal framework which makes it possible to transfer or freeze those domainnames that are responsible for the problems and disputes in your domainspace. Not having any rules or the authority to act quickly to enforce the procedures may even give the impression that your domainspace is not well guarded and that anyone can do whatever against anything or anyone.

The second decision the government has to take is who will distribute those domainnames and protect the central databases and infrastructure and will organise the legal and financial framework to handle all those issues. If you see your domainspace as a public good, than it should be an institution that is publicly accountable and will answer to parliament or its representatives. If you think it is a private good that should be driven by marketforces, than you should organise a competition and let the firm with the best standards win. Even in this last option you can put legal and social oblications that make it necessary for the winner to protect and manage the domainspace in a responsible and secure way, even if the main result is that less domainnames will be sold. In this last model i.t is better that the winning business has also other (connected) sources of income (making websites, hosting, networksecurity).

The third decision the government has to take is how to protect the legal and moral rights of its citizens and businesses. This can be done before a domainname or a specific subdomain is attributed, but this will never filter out all hijacking. It is for this reason very important that the organisation that has been attributed the management of the domainspace has real management power. This is to say that they can interverne directly when it seems that some domains are directly involved in scamming and other attacks on the internet or are only used to hijack traffic from other sites. It is even more important that the cost and duration of an arbitration is minimal so not only firms or rich citizens can introduce a complaint. If you organise your domainspace with some subdomains in which the attribution rules are clearly and strictly defined subdomains this can even been done very fast. If you oblige an owner of for example .gov.be to be a governmental institution than the check up is quite easy.

And the government will have to provide its law with punishmentments by the central dns organisation for the domainnamespace to oblige the local and international vendors of the local domainname to continue to work correctly. It will be easier to ask them to do their business correctly if they know they can lose their license to sell or host domainnames of your domainspace. And this should be decided by the central organisation based on clearly defined rules.

After these decisions have been taken, the more easy work begins like setting price, choosing agents or the responsible institution and setting up the infrastructure.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer automatically redirects users' mistyped URL queries to their MSN Search page. Though a user can reconfigure their browser to use a different search tool, Google, one of MSN's biggest rivals, is not in the list. However, on their web site, Google has explained how to make their search engine the IE default for mistyped urls. http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html

stypo gives the possible traffic typo's can have $ Microsoft has released a tool to control if others were using the misspelling of others while searching the web and registered wrongtyped versions of your domainnames. Mostly those pages have just ads, searchfiles and spyware to install on your machine. http://research.microsoft.com/URLTracer/ When a user visits a Web site, her browser may be instructed to visit other third-party domains without her knowledge. Some of these third-party domains raise security, privacy, and safety concerns. The Strider URL Tracer, available for download, is a tool that reveals these third-party domains, and it includes a Typo-Patrol feature that generates and scans sites that capitalize on inadvertent URL misspellings, a process known as typo-squatting. The tool also enables parents to block typo-squatting domains that serve adult ads on typos of children's Web sites and how they work is explained here

Chinese lower protection of brandnames in domainnames The registry for .CN, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), is amending its rules for domain name dispute resolutions. The new rules, which take effect March 17, may leave trademark owners without claim over some domain names. The new rules will provide a narrower definition of cybersquatting, and will now use the term only to refer to people who register domain names and sell them to rivals of a company that owns the rights to the name instead of anyone who registers a domain name for the purpose of renting or selling it. An English-language version of the new rules is expected to be available soon on the CNNIC Web site. While .CN domain names were primarily used by international companies in the past, small and mid-sized companies in China are also starting to adopt them. According to CNNIC, there are about one million registered .CN domain names now. Sources: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-02/21/content_4207861.htm
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-02/21/content_522266.htm solution : if you have the cash, buy whatever name and variant you can think off. Or just do not buy any .cn domain and declare everywhere such domainnames as phishing and fraud. You can easily make a subdomain http://cn.domainname.com or .com/cn But at the other hand, they try to defend the domainnames of their own Olympics The organisation committee for the 2008 Beijing Olympics has issued a statement warning companies and individuals not to attempt to typosquat
www.lawdit.co.uk/reading_room/ room/view_category.asp?catcode=42

It discusses how proposed rules would allow Whois to list only a technical contact for each domain name. A technical contact could be a web hosting company rather than an individual owner. This would make it difficult for trademark owners to send cease and desist letters to people they think are cybersquatting. Trademark owners would have to skip this step and go directly to a UDRP or get a subpoena. This could be bad for domainers, as typically the issue can be worked out at the cease and desist stage
http://domainnamewire.com/2006/04/27/wall-street-journal-article-on-whois-privacy/
The article focuses on another revenue source — revenue from parked domains. In this case it’s domains registered at GoDaddythat the owners aren’t doing anything with. These domains resolve to GoDaddy parking pages fed by Google ads.

nternational us law

Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), October 24, 1999
Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that
(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), Signed by President Clinton, November 29, 1999
A person shall be liable in a civil action by the owner of a mark, including a personal name which is protected as a mark under this section, if, without regard to the goods or services of the parties, that person --
(i) has a bad faith intent to profit from that mark, including a personal name which is protected as a mark under this section; and...
In a case involving a violation of section 43(d)(1), the plaintiff may elect, at any time before final judgment is rendered by the trial court, to recover, instead of actual damages and profits, an award of statutory damages in the amount of not less than $1,000 and not more than $100,000 per domain name, as the court considers just.
Truth in Domain Names Act, 2003
Sec. 2252B. False or misleading domain names on the Internet
(a) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a person into viewing obscenity on the Internet shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
(b) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors on the Internet shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 4 years, or both. Search decisions
http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrpdec.htm
http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/search/ Some selected decisionsIn the case of , the Respondent has deliberately added to the Complainant’s mark the prefix “www-”, which is, as the Complainant contends, a commonly used typosquatting method, making the disputed domain name confusingly similar to the mark in which the Complainant has rights. This finding is supported by the fact that there is a phonetic similarity between the disputed domain name and the official website of the Complainant. The Panel notes the decisions in several cases under the Policy in which adding the prefix “www-” to a complainant’s mark was condemned as typosquatting In the case of , an extraneous letter K has been added to the beginning of the mark, K being the letter immediately to the right of J on a standard keyboard. This kind of misspelling takes advantage of the proximity of two letters on the keyboard and creates, as the Complainant contends, confusing similarity with the mark. The Complainant’s mark is not descriptive but is highly distinctive. As other Panels have decided under the Policy (see Reuters Limited v. Global Net 2000, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0441), a domain name which differs by only one letter from a trademark has a greater tendency to be confusingly similar to the complainant’s mark. Therefore, the Panel concludes that there is a confusing similarity between the Complainant’s mark and the disputed domain name . The parking of a domain name by itself does not necessarily represent evidence of bad faith registration and use of the domain name. However, the display of the unsolicited pop-up advertisements for a variety of goods and services on the disputed domain names sites may represent evidence of bad faith in the sense of paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy if the Respondent benefits financially from it.
http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2004/d2004-0787.html nov 2004 Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred: (1) the domain name registered by Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights;
Complainant has established its rights to the mark that is contained in its entirety in the domain name registered by Respondent. Although not identical, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark. The mere removal of the letter “s” does not change the overall impression created by this domain name; it creates a domain name that is confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark. See Universal City Studios, Inc. v. HarperStephens, D2000-0716 (WIPO Sept. 5, 2000) (finding that deleting the letter “s” from the Complainant’s UNIVERSAL STUDIOS STORE mark does not change the overall impression of the mark and thus makes it confusingly similar to the Complainant’s mark); see also V Secret Catalog, Inc. v. Internet Inv. Firm Trust “In Trust”, FA 94344 (Nat. Arb. Forum May 9, 2000) (finding that the omission of the possessive “s” from the VICTORIA’S SECRET mark in the disputed domain name did not defeat confusing similarity). (2) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
Further, in directing users away from Complainant’s website, Respondent’s use of the disputed domain name did not constitute a bona fide offering of goods or services within the definition of the Policy ¶ 4(c)(i). See Ticketmaster Corp. v. DiscoverNet, Inc., D2001-0252 (WIPO Apr. 9, 2001) (finding no rights or legitimate interests where Respondent generated commercial gain by intentionally and misleadingly diverting users away from the Complainant's site to a competing website); see also Société des Bains de Mer v. International Lotteries, D2000-1326 (WIPO Jan. 8, 2001) (finding no rights or legitimate interests where Respondent used the casinomontecarlo.com and montecarlocasinos.com domain names in connection with an unaffiliated online gambling website
(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Moreover, “typosquatting,” the practice of registering similar but inaccurate domain names, has been recognized as a bad faith use of a domain name under the Policy. See, e.g., AltaVista Co. v. Stoneybrook, D2000-0886 (WIPO Oct. 26, 2000) (awarding “wwwalavista.com”, among other misspellings of altavista.com, to Complainant); see also Dow Jones & Co. & Dow Jones, L.P. v. Powerclick, Inc., D2000-1259 (WIPO Dec. 1, 2000) (awarding domain names “wwwdowjones.com”, “wwwwsj.com”, “wwwbarrons.com” and “wwwbarronsmag.com” to Complainants).

It is clear that, in fact, the Respondents are endeavouring to "typosquat" Pfizer’s main domain name , assuming that users will neglect
arbiter.wipo.int/domains/ decisions/html/2001/d2001-1199.html
The wwwcnn.com domain name incorporates CNN’s famous CNN mark in full, and is an obvious attempt to "typosquat"

Typosquatting is where domainnames are registred only because they contain typing mistakes of domainnames with enormous or important traffic. The goals are to sell them to the righteous owners or to get some traffic for the ads that are hosted on the pages. Some install spyware or tracking cookies on the computers. Information about typosquatting Who is a victim
examples of victims of this fraud and irresponsability by dns.be can be found here http://itsecurity.pbwiki.com/belgian%20typosquatted%20domains%20 It should be easy for the firms or institutions that manage domainnames to refuse this kind of domainnames or to use the tools to control if some of these domainnames are being created or used with solely that purpose, to declare it illegal and to transfer the ownership of the domain. It should also be possible to block this kind of registration before activating it by declaring the practise illegal. Protect yourself For internet users

These belgian domainnames have the biggest value for typosquatters http://www.ovtdomainnames.com/index.php?entries=1&ext=be&sort=3
Try to find who is responsable for the domain You can use http://www.dns.be/whois/ and type the names of the domains that you have found.
DNs.be will try not to intervene at all and in 2005 the person responsable for dns.be wrote that the victims had to turn to a court for such issues and didn't had complain with dns.be "Klachten betreffende domeinkaping worden best niet ingediend bij DNS BE. Op onze site staat wel de nodige info welke mogelijkheden er bestaan. In principe zijn er dit twee: ofwel via de gewone rechtbank, ofwel een zogenaamde alternatieve geschillenregeling via Cepina. Let wel, in beide gevallen moet je bepaalde rechten kunnen laten gelden op de domeinnaam in kwestie (internet.be claimen omdat je vage plannen hebt om een online winkel te beginnen volstaat dus echt wel niet)."

http://standaard.typepad.com/en_nu_even_ernstig/2005/07/typosquatting_e.html In 2005 before the start of this free .be domain madness campaign, the responsable minister for this issue, answered a question in the parliament about typosquatting. http://www.dekamer.be/QRVA/pdf/51/51K0078.pdf The minister declares here that this is against the law in Belgium (26 june 2003) but there is no penalty foreseen in this law. That is why the Administration has done no research and no prosecution and that no-one has filed a complaint either. He says that there is no other choice than to go to the WIPO or use the arbitration that Cepina has set up together with dns.be that is how it is done http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=24
that are the few that have done it http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=134 and this is the reason why (high cost) http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=125
AANTAL BETWISTE DOMEINNAMEN KOSTEN VAN DE PROCEDURE

6 tot 10 2.110,00 EUR
meer dan 10 in overleg met CEPINA te bepalen De administratieve kosten van CEPINA zijn begrepen in deze bedragen. Deze administratieve kosten zijn aan de BTW onderworpen.
Try to sue the agent http://www.domain-ethix.be/nl/Commission/composition.html even typosquatted belgacom.be has a representative but according to the website there is no complaint since 2003 a reason for this is that the agents against which the complaints are, have not signed the code of conduct http://www.dns.be/info/nl/agent/registered. At one hand you can only register .be names with agents that have signed this code of conduct but this is the world upside down. It should - especially in the Wild Wild Web - that to be an agent you MUST have signed this code of conduct (and even that is questionable becauce the judicial power of this is totally voluntary). and in the code of conduct is typosquatting implicit refused De agent zal geen 'voorraad' domeinnamen aanleggen om vervolgens de klant onder druk te kunnen zetten om de domeinnaam van zijn keuze bij hem aan te vragen tegen mogelijks exorbitante tarieven
some domain registrars have foreseen this and you can complain with them directly Bestellingen van domeinnamen via gratisbe.be zijn onderworpen aan dezelfde voorwaarden als de andere hosting en domeinnaamdiensten van Stone Internet Services / 1-eurohost.com. Er zijn echter 2 uitzonderingen op deze voorwaarden: 1. Domeinnamen besteld in kader van de dns.be actie zijn niet gebonden aan de opzegtermijn van 60 dagen. Deze worden niet stilzwijgend verlengd en worden enkel verlengd op vraag van de klant aan het overeengekomen tarief. 2. De domeinnamen mogen niet aangewend worden voor cybersquatting of domein warehousing.
http://www.gratisbe.be/voorwaarden.html It says that if the domainsquatting or for sale lookalike has been registered through them, they can act. I am not sure if each registrar has done this, but this is something you can check. But this is only if the .be domainname was used in the free campaign. If they pay for it, I am not sure that this would work although DNS.Be should be able to refuse to register it because there is a complaint against the domainname. try using the law and according to their own procedures explained here for domain names that are more or less identical but which aren't enforced (yet) http://www.dns.be/fr/DomainInfo/adrproc.htm french http://www.dns.be/nl/DomainInfo/adrproc.htm dutch http://www.dns.be/en/home.php?n=54 english Wet betreffende het wederrechtelijk registreren van domeinnamen

Kill their advertising revenue you can try to complain here https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/request.py?hl=en_US&ctx=foot telling that awaiting decision on the transfer of the domainname, you can't agree that they make money with a hosted page with a typosquatted domainname or you can try to know the identity (because the billing address will always be right)
Kill their hosting partners according to microsoft some hosting firms have begun to act on complaints of typosquatting, but this is based upon legal letters from big firms, I am not sure they will listen if it is only you so you can try but the person can also move his address to anywhere else as long as the dns.be is doing nothing you are just playing cat and mouse but hey, let the bad guys sweat a little also (and lose money as they won't be paid out) http://www.sedo.com/about/contact.php3
Block their hosting and advertising partners in proxies and firewalls. Hurt the money and you hurt the bad guy

Windows XP has always contained an extremely serious vulnerability which allows any malicious hacker to cause the files contained in any directory to be deleted. This vulnerability can be cured by installing XP's large (50 to 140 MB) Service Pack 1 — which is preferable whenever possible. But this free and lightweight XPdite utility fixes the problem quickly and easily for systems not yet running Service Pack 1. A silent running option also makes it ideal for corporate deployment http://www.grc.com/files/xpdite.exe

Security researcher Laszlo Toth discovered a bug in the way that Windows XP Service Pack 2 guards some of the key information about wireless networks. Users without administrative privileges may be able to get WEP keys and WPA Pair-wise Master Keys, the information needed to decrypt the wireless network. This can't be done remotely, only by a local user. This bug won't affect the typical home user, but if a school or library has a wireless network set up for public use, it may cause security problems. Microsoft was contacted about this bug in April, 2005. It appears a fix for this won't be coming until the next version of Windows (Longhorn/Vista) which should be here in 2006.
