*** Strange DNS Queries - Request for Packets, (Sat, Dec 21st) *** --------------------------------------------- We have received a pcap sample of DNS queries that display a strange behavior. The queries are type ANY for domains ghmn.ru and fkfkfkfa.com. When doing a nslookup, both domains have 100 IPs listed under their domain names with each of them resolving exactly the same last octets (i.e. .1, .10, .100, etc). Queries with the same transaction ID are often repeated several times. The traffic samples we have received indicate the queries are sent by either a host or a server.

*** How I hacked a journalist *** --------------------------------------------- It started off as a follow-up to a story a journalist had written several years ago. The story was about data protection, and had showed that a simple subject access request could provide you with enough information to steal someone's identity.
