Advance warning: -----Forwarded message from "Charles Oppermann" <chuckop(a)MICROSOFT.com>----- From: "Charles (Chuck) Oppermann" <chuckop(a)MICROSOFT.com> Subject: IE4 goes live @ 7pm PT Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 14:10:43 -0700 Dear friends, Internet Explorer version 4.0 goes live on http://microsoft.com in between 6pm and 7pm PT today, September 30! This is a product that I've worked on and I'm very proud of. In case you're interested, my contribution to the product was the accessibility options dialog box, various UI and HTML features, and exposing the Dynamic HTML Object Model through Microsoft Active Accessibility. [ snippage ] The following Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are also offering IE4 from their sites: * Concentric * AT&T * EarthLink * Erol's * GTE * MCI * MindSpring * NETCOM * Prodigy * Sprint * SPRYNET It's a big download - 22mb approximately for the full installation - so, you might want to just order the CD-ROM from Microsoft. Information on doing that is at the above listed web sites. -----End of forwarded message----- Y'all have fun now, y'hear? >:-) Cheers -- jra -- Jay R.

>SprintLink is our upstream. After three hours they called back and >said that I "have to contact the Computer Crimes Division of the >FBI". Since the attempts stoped hours ago, I'm just going to pay >close attention to my logs and follow up if it happens again. I'm schocked! The catch-22 of Internet problem reporting, providers who don't accept trouble calls from non-customers and won't do trouble referrals between providers. I'm always amused when a provider with who we have no business relationship calls our NOC and expects help, yet when we call their NOC they refuse the call because we aren't a customer. Alternatives: - Call the FBI Computer Crime Squad (202) 324-9164, which will probally be very unsatisfying unless you can document a large dollar loss - Find a new upstream which will handle the problem referrals for you, if you find one, let me know - Form relationships yourself with other providers so you can do your own inter-provider problem referal In any case, release of customer information without the permission of the customer will require some type of legal order. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

To answer your question about #1, we backhaul our dial-in calls all over the place. The same user dialling back in to the same number could easily end up in one of three or four IP blocks which are in turn associated with different cities in the DNS. Jonathan -- Someone apparently from a WorldNet dial-up account, calling in via New Orleans and Dallas was sending large numbers of TCP connections to port 1080. That's of course the default Socks Port. We don't run socks. Never have. The connection attempts were blocked and logged. The reasons could be: 1) stupid user entered in the wrong address for a socks proxy 2) Denial of Service attack It if were #1, then why would it be coming from two different cities and why sooooo many connections. If it was #2, why am I not seeing more connections and why TCP? IT seems to me that it's kinda pointless to spoof the source address on a TCP connection unless you are *very* clever. Why only port 1080? --Eric -- Eric Wieling (eric(a)ccti.net) Corporate Communications Technology Sales: 504-585-7303 (sales(a)ccti.net) Support: 504-525-5449 (support(a)ccti.net) I don't bother to set my alarm clock anymore. Someone always pages me before I need to wake up anyway. >-- End of excerpt from Eric Wieling
