DROA

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Recently a UK-based domain registration service provider called “Domain Registry of America” has sent out subscription offers for already reserved .com-domains.

Letter from the so-called Domain Registration Of America

If you received one of these letters you can safely ignore them. It says: “You must renew your domain name to retain exclusive rights[…]”. This is an assumption. Domain subscriptions are renewed annually per default with most registration service providers.

Needless to say that the price of 26€ for an annual subscription is too expensive. Everything above 20€ (incl. VAT) is definitely far too expensive for .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info top level domains.

Test your firewall

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Do you think your firewall does its job? Download LeakTest, a simple utility that tries to establish a connection to an internet server. Within one second you’ll know whether your firewall protects you against any possibly dangerous application connecting to the internet or not.

You want to push the limits? Rename the file LeakTest.exe (for example ‘putty.exe’) and check whether your application-based firewall is smart enough to detect this ‘cheat’.
