Is Time-Warner associated with Charter Communications? There's a thread on Slashdot about their name servers being hijacked to point all requests to a set of rogue proxy servers. Another thread suggests a nasty form of spyware is responsible. The rogue proxy servers are apparently a man-in-the-middle password sniffer of some type affecting at a minimum HTTP and SSH. http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/2325235&mode=thread&tid=126 I got the above link by email from someone following this thread but not set up to post to NANOG. If true, it makes the thread more NANOG-relevant than a simple case of poor service from a cable company. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.net WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
