Please accept my apologies

Sorry pal, but you are wrong. You can ban his IP if he's got a static DSL/cable/t1 link. If he's running dynamic IP's then you can still ban his whole domain.

Anantech's (a computer techie disucssion board) has banned the AOL domain. They had major problems with trolls coming from AOL. That means if AOL is your ISP, you are restricted to only read messages. NO POSTING.

And spoofing an IP is not hard. You just modify the packet and insert a fake IP. But to interact with another computer and make it think you're from another IP is not possible. You see, the server that you're connecting to must know where to send back its information. If you're telling it you're from 192.168.0.100 and you're actually from 209.55.71.236 then you aren't going to post jack.

The only drawback is of course he can run off to his friend's computer and post messages, or run to a public comp.

I agree you can ban a whole domain, but by banning an entire domain, for example Qwest.net with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, you would ban all of them. This is possible but however very unlikely.

Also when you have a static IP you usually have a range, not always, which means that you could just use another. But even if you have just a single IP most ISP will grant you a new IP if you ask for it.

I agree with your IP spoofing point as well. With a non routable address such as 192.168.0.100, you wouldn't be able to post, being that most firewalls will detect that and block that not routable IP addresses. However if you used a 209.230.55.77 a routable ip then you could spoof with it.

Not to mention the numerous remote browsing web sites, that people use to get around there own local firewalls. You could always use one of those. Unless of course you were able to track down and block every single one of those services.

Long story short. Yes there are methods you can take to block a person, but how many of them are realistic.

Well, I don't understand exactly what went on here, just came online........but I will say this; I have known MOD for a while, and he has always been a standup guy to me. I consider him a friend. Sounds like he was trying to make a point or something, and went about it the wrong way. Too bad, he has a lot of good qualities.
I'd like to know the details about this, if anyone in power cares to share them.

 

[Trevdog]

Wow this really surprises me. Although I didn't always agree with MOD, he was obviously knowledgeable and seemed like a real good guy.

I do believe that G.S.'s response to what apparently happened was professional and appropriate.

AS I SAID LONG AGO UNDER A PREVIOUS NAME..........THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TRUST IS YOURSELF. THIS IS WHY ALL MOD'S TELL YOU TO CHECK SOURCES TIME IN AND TIME OUT, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU CAN TRUST. IF ITS ALL TRUE ABOUT THIS, IT SHOWS ANYONE AT ANYTIME CAN CHANGS FOR ONLY REASONS THEY KNOW THEMSELVES. BE SAFE BRO'S ALOT OF CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE LATELY AND WATCH OUT FOR YOURSELF...............BE SAFE AND PEACE BRO'S.

 

[CYCLEON]

this truly is unfortunate - mod may have acted in the traditional "helpfull hacker" mode of hacking in to show off and demonstrate vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, as in the real world, this action is unappropriate unless requested and geore is justifed in his response.

MOD will be back however, if he choses. for the right people, there is little way to actually ban much of anything. redirects are a simple matter for the educated cracker/hacker. In any case - MOD, you should have know a little better and please be more resposible to the many bros on here in the future.
