Big Brother Is Watching (And Using Deep Packet Inspection)When every packet you send and receive is monitored for the greater good... 04:22PM Thursday Oct 16 2008 by Karl Bodetags: legal · business · privacyTipped by jbgroup1  Deep packet inspection has many legitimate uses on an ISP network, but has gained notoriety in recent years for its use in delivering behavioral ads, injecting ISP javascript banners into websites, and identifying (and ultimately filtering or throttling) P2P traffic. Evolution in DPI technology has companies not only buying and selling your online habits, but pushing the technology as a new Internet policing solution, placing the onus on ISPs to compare every packet a user sends to a master database of what's legal or illegal. According to MSNBC, the legal pressure on ISPs to be babysitter is mounting, and the technology has caught the eye of NY AG Andrew Cuomo (we just mentioned his child porn "crackdown" yesterday): "A PowerPoint slide show from Brilliant Digital Entertainment describing the technology was passed on to AOL last month by two powerful forces in the fight against child porn: the office of New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been calling out ISPs that won't agree to block sites with illegal images, and Ernest E. Allen, the president and CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a nonprofit given by Congress a central role in the fight." Child porn is kind of the "gateway drug" to broader filtering of the Internet, given that once ISPs take on the mantle of being kiddie porn cop, it's a short jump to engaging in policing for the entertainment industry and others. As Colorado law professor Paul Ohm recently noted, thanks to deep packet inspection, we're entering a brave new world where the ISP plays the starring role in a potential privacy nightmare.

| Re: 11,000 images? People in another thread didn't believe me when I said the internet was for porn! (Legal non kiddie porn).
Anyone wanna a 1hr movie of tentacles doing you know what? 
But yeah this isn't possible, as there is just too many packets going over the network to where a computer/server just couldn't process it (maybe multiple "scanners", but still during peak usage it could become backloged with packets that need to be "inspected" especially if the user is using P2P).
Our law makers are so stupid though, they are just so thick. Lets say torrent packets are now allowed to be dropped, someone will come around with "Torrent v2" which allows you to use SSL....which no on can touch SSL decryption as it is a federal law saying its illegal to decrypt. And if you use SSL there is no way to determine if the packet it going to a web server or over P2P, especially if both are operating on port 80; because the information of what kind of packet it is, is encrypted. 256bit SSL encryption anyone? | |

| Porn is just the excuse... "The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) which enforces movie copyrights, on the other hand has taken the position with the FCC that network neutrality could hurt anti-piracy technology such as deep packet inspection and other forms of filtering. To protect themselves against lawsuits, court injunctions, and government policies and regulations, ISPs are employing DPI to prevent illegal distribution of copyrighted materials by their subscribers."
In the 1960's, hollywood bowed to the FCC by showing only "wholesome" tv shows because of a perceived threat against the broadcast licenses. This may also be in play.
While NOBODY wants kiddie porn on the net, this is a clear attempt by the MPAA/RIAA to inflict policy via our legislatures.

| This is only the start... Things such as this are endangering our online rights. That isn't to say looking at child porn is a right, but there are already clear processes for investigating people who are breaking the law. Look at CALEA and the whole warrant process. Oh, wait, that went down the drain long ago.
Not only that, what does this mean for the common carrier status? I imagine things such as this will endanger the status; for as soon as something illegal slips through, one could argue that the ISP has the capability of knowing whether something is illegal or not and that they missed it.
I fear for the future of online privacy and the mom-and-pop ISPs. | |

It was meant to level the playing field between companies needing to transport goods from one place to another so that one company would not have a competitive advantage over another one due to getting an "under the table" good buddy deal from transportation companies such as the railroad industry.
In the telecommunications industry I believe it applies to the carriers that the ISPs get their connection to the Internet from and not to the ISPs themselves. | |

I have nothing to hide, and I'm not worried that the government tracks my browsing habbits. I'm worried that my browsing habbits are being sold to THIRD PARTIES who I have no business relationship with. I am worried about directed advertising.
I don't feel like the government, my ISP or anyone other than the person/company on the other end of the transaction should know what adult sites I visit, or what adult toys my wife may decide to purchase.
Identity theft is at an all time high. Just this weekend I spent two days cleaning out the results of an .XPI exploit that has German users infected to the tune of 500,000 (it also exists in an MSIE version.) Perhaps that was my fault, but a momentary lapse in security can cost one a pretty penny, and I don't need no more eyes or machines inspecting my supposedly encrypted packets.
Do you now get it?
My credit card and debit card companies both began offering virtual credit cards a few months ago, as if on que. Last month I had a fraudulent $46 dollar charge.
Why would I want to subject myself to MORE ads, MORE potential data theft and MORE nannyism. I'm an adult and a big boy. If I do something wrong, they'll find a way to come after me ANYWAY. It's not like there are many secrets left online.
Vermont has a law on the books - The consumer explicitly decides which third party business associates of the ISP he or she wishes to allow transfer of his info, or not at all.
Why would I want my vitals in MORE databases susceptible to MORE hacks and INCREASING my chances of having a serious incident of theft.
This is no longer about piracy. It's about PRIVACY from unwanted intrusion and targeted advertisements.
The government can have my data all they want. I DON'T WANT THIRD PARTY PRIVATE COMPANIES keeping my data all over the place, especially when I'm only risking increased chances of problems.
Maybe if the ISP gave me a break of 5 bucks a month on my bills, I'd change my mind. But why should I agree to allowing any and all comers a peek at where I've been?
Anything can be misconstrued. I'd rather not chance a misunderstanding. When you have children depending on daddy to make the adult decisions, you'll get it. Maybe.

| Steaming Piles Abound Karl nailed the issue when he used the words gateway drug. Given that the amount of images on the Net at large of kiddie porn amount to less the .0333333333%, this crap with the filtering is nothing but utter nonsense and a way for the **AA, and, their cozy buddies the federal government, to invade privacy.
Remember that the Internet is really the only true form of Democracy as anyone anywhere can express his opinion. We cannot, of course, as a society that caters of, by, for and to the corporation, afford to have the worker bees informed/aware of what their government/plantation owners do in their name, therefore, democracy must be regulated in order to, say it with me....save the children. | |

You're absolutely right about the misconceptions that are so abundant amongst people who have lived their entire lives in democratic societies and incorrectly assume that the whole world is as their experiences have taught them, I would add to your posit about the Chinese from communist China (The "Peoples" Republic of China, not to be confused with The Republic of China, aka Taiwan) is only one of many throughout the world that fall under such "big brother' category, for instance just ninety miles south of Key West communist Cuba does not allow unfettered net access, it is extremely restricted and even more exponentially limited to a few monitored (by human "minders") locations, additionally all traffic is directed to centralized location where all content is filtered, but the average John Q Public in the USA has no clue about these issues because this country's media outlets are basically more concerned with the almighty dollar and the romanticized fallacy of Socialism by another name, aka Liberalism American style.

I wish to quote something.
"
Tribute to Abraham Lincoln
A letter from Booker T. Washington
Springfield, Ill. Feb. 12, 1909
"My Dear Sir:
It is a matter of keen regret to me that owing to a long standing promise to speak in New York on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, I find myself unable to accept your generous invitation to speak in his home city on that day. There is no spot in America where it would have given me greater satisfaction to have spoken than in Springfield - the city that he loved and the city where his body rests."
"There are many lessons which can and will be drawn from the life of our great hero, but there is one above all others at this moment that I deed fitting to call attention to on this occasion. Among other reasons, I do it because of recent occurrences in the city of Lincoln's adoption."
"When Lincoln freed my race there were four millions. Now there are ten millions. Naturally, more and more this increase means that they will scatter themselves through the country, north as well as south. A large element already is in the north. If my race would honor the memory of Lincoln and exhibit their gratitude for what he did, it can do so in no more fitting manner that putting into daily practice the lessons of his own life. Mr. Lincoln was a simple, humble man. Great men are always simple. No matter where members of my race reside, we should resolve from this day forward that we will lead sober, industrious, frugal, moral lives, and that while being ambitious, we shall at the same time be patient, law-abiding and self-controlled as Lincoln was. These are the elements that will win success and respect, no matter where we live. Every member of my race who does not work, who leads an immoral life, dishonors the memory and the name of Lincoln. Everone, on the other hand, who leads a law-abiding, sober life is justifying the faith which the sainted Lincoln place in us.
"In every part of this country I want to see my race live such high and useful lives that they will not be merely tolerated, but they shall actually be needed and wanted because of their usefulness to the community. The loafer, the man who tries to live by his wits, is never wanted anywhere.
"Many white people in the north who are now honoring the memory of Lincoln, are coming into contact with the race that Lincoln freed for the first time. I have spoken of the patience and the self-control needed on the part of my race. With equal emphasis I wish to add, that no man who hallows the name of Lincoln will inflict injustice upon the negro because he is a negro or because he is weak. Every act of injustice, of law-breaking, growing out of the presence of the negro, seeks to pull down the great temple of justice and law and order which he gave his life to make secure. Lawlessness that begins when a weak race is the victum, grows by what it feeds upon and soon spreads until it includes all races. It is easy for a strong man or a strong race to kick down a weak man or a weak race. It is ignoble to kick down; it is noble to lift up as Lincoln sought to do all through his life. Just in the degree that both races, while we are passing through this crucial period, exhibit the high qualities of self-control and liberality which Lincoln exhibited in his own life, we will show that in reality we love and honor his name, and both races will be lifted into a high atmosphere of service to each other.
"Yours truly,
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON"
What ever happened to Log Cabin republicans. Lincoln was a very big, strong man, and lived in an age where the country had much more wilderness than today. Yet, "Lincoln's formal education consisted of about 18 months of schooling, but he was largely self-educated and an avid reader."
"He was also a talented local wrestler and skilled with an axe YET Lincoln avoided hunting and fishing because he did not like killing animals, even for food.
At 6 foot 4 inches (1.93 m), he was unusually tall and strong, he sure could've shot whatever he pleased.
His life is a long struggle of personal sorrow, honest, hard work, deep introspection and most importantly , empathy and more hard work. He held this country together where as folks like Joe Vogel of the Alaskan Indepence Party of whom Mr. Palin is a member of since 1995.
He is my idol, political or otheriwse.
If I was somehow president for a month, I would immediately speak to the people, allay their fears and convince folks that a paradigm shift is needed. We can no longer be blind consumers; the wall mart to the rest of the world. American people especially our leaders must stop living in the immediate moment and consider their interests with a more mature, long term outlook.
Furthermore, I also believe also it should be made ILLEGAL to malign one's political opponent's religion or color. Even if Obama is somehow a closet Muslim (LOL) what makes him any worse than me? Or you?
I like to say that his middle name blew up the World Trade Center Towers, and if you think about it, Sadam/Iraq had NOTHING to do with it all in the first place!
Now McCain does a 180 and says he's a good guy? Wait, I'm confused.. Wasn't Barack the antichrist days ago?
McCain would loose his matching funds for the stunts his campaign pulled over the past year if not disqualified entirely... Like S is really that close to the B on a qwerty layout.

| Should the AG really be shilling for a corporation? The Attorney General "passing on a PowerPoint" from a specific corporation is equivalent to him saying "buy this company's product or I will make your life hell". It's up there with senators introducing legislation written by people outside the government.
In the typical fraud, someone in the government will get a list of features from their friend "corporation A". Then they will open bidding to complete work (or follow regulations) that magically matches the list of features of "corporation A". If corp. B and C want to have a chance of winning, they need to spend money being compatible with A, because their unique features aren't even considered. And even then it's known that A should be picked.
Here, he's just skipping the part where government makes a regulation, and forwarding marketing material from "corporation A" to the ISPs. I expect if they block child porn their own way without using this product, he'll make their lives hell anyways.
Here's a good example of how it's done at the highest levels:

| I know some here approve of this stuff But for those who do not, if you ever get invited to visit a major porn/child abuse monitoring point, take up the offer. You will be amazed at how much goes on, and some of the powerful names in business and governments that are playing the game. Many untouchable because of their power and the fact that the evidence gotten that way is not legal (unless they can actually be at a meet point and witness the activity which they do with older men pretending to be 13 year old girls).
I was told a few years ago that new encryption techniques are hiding the really big guys that like playing with little boys and girls, and it is hard to fight the red tape to get access to that technology.

| Privacy tools need to be used more often I use CCleaner as a privacy tool, yes I know not very effective but still...........
The reason I use CCleaner aside from cleaning out junk that fill up space, I use it if for example I'm in a chat room and someone post a link to a questionable website I can use CCleaner to clean that out.
If I were to click on a child porn link, let me tell you, even if all of the images had time to load on my laptop screen, maybe 1 or 2 I might look at but once my eyes and the cursor find that red x, I'm clicking that bitch as fast as I can. I don't think their monitoring tools would detect that, it would just detect that I was on there, even if the webpage didn't fully load it would show as it did fully load.
Tell me one thing and be honest, how many of you had ended up on a child porn site? I have, and I tell you one thing I made a mental note not to go back to that site again, and I also ran a Anti-Virus scan to make sure no viruses happened and I used CCleaner to make sure I don't go back there no more. | |

TPTB know that the internet is the last vestige of freedom of speech and it must be stopped as their plans for one world government/socialism with the international bankers running everything is getting exposed and the governments that they own, namely western govts. wake up sheeple

| Look at its checkered past. Brilliant Digital is the owner of Altnet which was once installed with Kazaa and used the unused resources (CPU, memory and network bandwidth) of the computer on which it was installed to serve paid advertisements. I was later determined to be spy ware. This company also currently blocks copyrighted material on P2P networks using a global file registry of copyrighted files. This technology will be the same technology used to filter child porn.

| Cuomo, you've lost me as a potential voter. Forever. And I suspect this issue will lose Mr. Andrew Cuomo lots more support from consumers who use PCs and understand the issues.
This isn't freaking Communist China or at least it did not used to be.
This is no longer about piracy, but privacy. | |

| Yeah right! I have a bridge to sell ya... If anybody seriously thinks that anybody has the time and resources to undertake such a monumental task... especially every day... especially during peak hours...
Just open your eyes and look around you. There are a host of examples to be found that suggests that they couldn't find their butt with both hands if they had a string attached.
I'm not saying that to mock them. But the world gets more and more complex, multifaceted, and layered every day. We're all doing the best we can to keep up. When you realize that the "Big Brother" you're talking about here is awash in his own bureaucracy, and it is growing and compounding every day just like the world around him... I guarantee you he isn't able to do what it says he can.

@optonline.net | isn't this invasion of privacy, no matter what.. my feeling.. doesn't sound right (except for reasons of national security) for any legal authority to be snooping in other peoples business for anything without an order of the court. | |

| perverts will still move their materials no matter how much filtering and policeware we let the government pollute our freedom with. the child porn spreaders ability to be creative in material movement and law avoidence, makes P2P piracy creativity look like chickenshit. this is something that needs to be handled via traditional detective and FBI work as rings have to be penitrated with agents or the perverts lured out by stings.
