Logbook of Captain Emiliano Bruni

Reading Quintarelli's comment on his blog in relation to the ruling of the Supreme Court which gave the court reason to GIP di Bergamo in response to the kidnapping on Italian soil, site, The Pirate Bay jumped me in the eyes part of the grounds where Cassation held that the

So, from what little I understand legalese, if the site (www.thepiratebay.org) it was limited to the above mentioned site was unrelated to the crime complained of.

Quintarelli, reply to the passage above, commenting that perhaps the judges are not clear what is a communication protocol, but I feel I go further and, like a technician, I try to understand what the phrase word for word.

We start from the website. What is a website. I would say that a website is usually a service on port 80 that provides information, usually in the form of HTML but also in the form of JPEG, GIF, PNG, XML, PDF, and so on and so forth.

Now if I have a service listening on port 80, instead of providing HTML pages, make available to the protocol peer to peer or better, if I configure my peer to peer client to accept incoming connections on port 80

then this is not exactly what he says when he speaks of Cassation "website (which) only to provide the communication protocol (such as peer to peer)" and then, in this case, I am not about saying the Supreme that this is really a special case for which "the owner of the site itself (ie me) would actually 'stranger to the crime"?

Hurray! From tomorrow all to share our files legally on the P2P network through the liberalization of port 80. He says the Supreme

I must be careful what I publish on this blog, otherwise I would not allow me wonder if the 1 .3% of visitors who arrive here from search engines, do it to a known bug .... Or system.

For the record, this is the post charged that triggered such research.

Oh, by the way .... arsehole, arsehole, arsehole, arsehole

From an e-mail SPAM arrived in my inbox

Well, but the idea of a trumpet with the autopilot even when you're stopped is interesting. ... We almost do a little thought

Having found this beautiful map of the Internet I decided to modify it slightly to see where the Micso within the address space of IPv4 Internet.

This is what they have gone outside.

As in the original map is shown the IPv4 address space while preserving the grouping of regions assigned to different states and / or provider. The 256 numbers represent the first octet (255.0.0.0) of each IP address. Green spaces are not allocated blocks on the date of 2006.

The MICS, as we see, has addresses in the region 195.0.0.0 / 8 and 212.0.0.0 / 8.

Sorry. Politician I do? Oh well yes, but it is only a side-effect ". In fact I am an engineer and I'm the coach and I would not dream of making "serious" the political and when they are forced to put on the hat of political, when in doubt, ask those who are more experienced than me.

How come, people who know nothing of networks, it allows you to open your mouth on this subject without asking someone like me?

That's so that two high positions of our state, and Roberto Maroni, Silvio Berlusconi, where leaving the same day, with two Bischerate fantastic.

Which? We're going to hear their own words.

Silvio Berlusconi's visit to the Technological Pole of Italian post states:

Roberto Maroni during the statement to the House on the arrest of two suspected terrorists Moroccans declares:

We need to comment?

Berlusconi still responds admirably Vittorio Zambardino from his blog "Digital Scene" on the same pages of Republica.

A Maroni is rather difficult to answer. Can someone explain what it means that the finished IPv4 and IPv6, and that still to come?

Maybe some of you will be amazed that after asking all my readers for the contest votarmi Abruzzo Blog Award 2008 and was mainly spent on the year end, I had not sent notice of the results obtained and especially on the fact have reached the satisfactory position of third place.

I had not done for a simple reason. That on the sidelines of the competition we had been complaints about the management of it and then before making any comment I wanted to have the opportunity to talk directly with whoever was behind the competition and understand why things had not gone all the right way.

Now, after having talked, discussed and compared myself with the organization are much more comfortable because, as voices from the pack, I and my friend Paul Gatti other side we have found people willing to listen, to admit his mistakes and their gaps in computer skills but especially people who are not afraid to say "ok, next year let everyone around a table and tell us how you think this speech should be maintained."

This is of course commendable, a sign of seriousness, and then I consider that the problems this year can be safely dismissed as "sins" of youth and as a springboard for a steady growth of this initiative that will certainly make bold and interesting way to give the bear fruit in future years.

With this premise, which I repeat, dispels any possible doubts about the management of this year, let's step back and, for the record and also to remind future, we see, in short order, what went right and what went wrong at least from the perspective of the undersigned.

The initiative in its basic idea. First, because the unique, I think maybe even the national scene is important because it finally allows us little blog spaces have been known and recognized even by those who understand little of the INTERNET, mainly thanks to the marriage with a paper and news organization added all very well 'inside of an event which would sponsor the flavors and culture of Abruzzo.

The organization of the award from the choice of location, the museum of the people of Abruzzo, which further strengthens the attempt to combine the modern antiquity.

The awards, really very beautiful and moreover custom. What you see on the right is the prize awarded to this blog and the others were similar and very special, if only for the creation in Murano glass.

The opportunity that was given to us by the event to meet other bloggers Abruzzi. Personally, for example, I met and entertained a friendly conversation, before phone then in person with Paul Garrisi, who won the first prize, thanks to this interview, for example, two of his friends have learned that their town, not reached by DSL was instead achieved by WADSL.

The opportunity to know Mrs. Salvatore Gioia, director of the news broadcaster's antenna 10 that I had seen up close during the current and last edition of the ICT Security but I never had the chance to talk . Through this occasion, I understood why it is one of the most famous of the local television landscape, the simplicity with which they communicate and knows how to put at ease the person who is ahead.

And now we come to the notes painful. The first ever was the arrangements for managing the online vote. Personally I would not have made the choice to handle it with a standard form of a CMS that is absolutely not designed for this type of vote. The fact, for example, that the form does not allow more than 12 choices and then forced to divide the blog into two modules, which created a bit 'of concern, because, for those not familiar with the work, it seemed as if they were two distinct categories of votes and not the same vote. For example, many have written me to say: "Look, six seconds," and I have to explain that the other list was another of my blogs with the most votes.

Still relating to the voting rules, the biggest mistake for me was the choice of allowing the same account, to vote once a day. This mode does not favor a choice based on a quality product but it serves only those who have "friends" who devoted themselves day after day, remember to vote. If you must handle it with the online voting should be given the opportunity to
give a vote to account and then nothing.

Although I was privileged from the thing, it was not corrected the blog post to contest started. Initial screening had to be done first and then, once defined the blogs selected for the competition was started with the vote. If new blog wanted to join the competition started, they are admitted to the competition the following year

The unfortunate choice of the verification system of e-mail. In practice was sent a mail with a return receipt to accept. The problem was that this thing was not specified anywhere, and someone like me to "cancel" on by default to return receipts came to know only in retrospect that instead to access the vote was necessary to send the receipt and now At that point, it was impossible to turn back. And then, the reader, like some of my friends, mail only via webmail that does not handle the receipt?

Something did not work anyway. For example, I made all my colleagues in Micso. The first day they voted all, the second 60% of accounts were blocked and there was no way to unlock them. Same thing for my wife's cousin and another friend. Isolated cases?

This time a negative note but about participation. If I could imagine a low turnout of the public "normal" I was rather esterefatto even by non-presence of bloggers who attended the event and addirittuta of many awards that have not come. This to me is unacceptable and unjustifiable. If some have decided to defect to the problems mentioned above, well they went wrong. Even some of us, as evidenced by these pages, they had some things to clarify and the best way has been presented to face the organizers to present their constructive criticism and see their reaction was ...

... What was expected of intelligent people and couples who are faced with constructive criticism and take with civilization critically ie an attitude of total openness with the aim to improve and open a constructive dialogue with those of us who are more familiar to Internet technologies with the goal, next year, to have an event of wider, higher visibility, which inevitably makes more errors but does not repeat those this year.

I have dwelt too much and tomorrow I have to be in Rome for the current iPhone. Then close with two meaningful pictures, one of the undersigned while holding down

and the one with the overview of all prizes

from left to right, Mark De Rosa Animah, the undersigned, Maxime Thought Excess, The curiosona, Sara Taricani, Paul Gatti, Paul Garrisi, Luca Rosati of Vasto Blogolandia

Oh, I forgot .... Thanks to you all that I have voted, that prize is yours.

Although the competition began August 18 and will end October 31, there is still time. VOTATEMI Abruzzo Blog Award organized by the newspaper of Abruzzo.

We see how, in 10 days you can do what others failed to do in 2 months

However, if I lose, I did not take her with anyone. Oh, by the way, your home address has just been logged by the system. Will be used for unspecified future purposes

Remember that you can votarmi once a day.

I do not want our dear friend who has kindly forwarded the email from which I draw inspiration for reflections of this post but the opportunity was too good. Everything that follows is by no means addressed to him directly but must be taken as yet another attempt to educate and inform users of the Internet on two simple concepts:

1. All mail requests for support for people dying who need blood, organs or need an operation abroad, "BUFFALO IS." All together recite this mantra: "BUFFALO IS.
2. You do not ever send email to a number of recipients greater than 10 in the clear.

To discuss these two concepts, we see the background.

I received a mail from my friend. The mail has the subject: "Fw: In: Fw: This should run ... URGENT! Coast just 1 minute."

We learn from the start to recognize things. The first rule is empathy: an email with a subject like this is 99% a hoax, a chain letter or similar.

But just because it amuses or because you can never be 100% sure, you open it to see what it is.

The mail is about a family with a disastrous problem. The daughter named Rachel has a brain tumor, inoperable, fortunately, but unfortunately parents do not have the money to pay for the operation. But it seems that two major U.S. providers, AOL and ZDNET have agreed to help because for every person who reads the mail, their family will pay 32 cents (not quite know what currency, dollar, euro, flies fried). Course, so please turn the mail to acquaintances to get the most money possible from the provider.

Such a story reeks of chain letter from a mile away, do not feel it too? No? Ok, since it is not expedient to trust your instincts even if every cell of your body cry "wolf". Then the second rule is: Paul Attivissimo is your friend.

Who is Paul Attivissimo? As he likes to define himself in his blog "The Disinformatico", is a buffalo hunter. That said, the second rule, validated by the fact that in the end are always those buffaloes and even those, is that putting a little 'things of the mail received in the search of the site of Paul, gives the assurance that the mail is a hoax.

Which in fact happens with the mail in question. Rachel and inserting some other name that appears in the mail as a contact person, and soon you reach the page of the chain letter showing not only the mail that I got but all its variants. For one thing, the first variant of the mail appeared in February 2002 and, be assured that the poor Rachel, even if he existed has been dead for some time.

But you're not worried. Rachel has never actually existed, in fact, known as Paul

Anyway, if common sense is not enough, AOL and ZDNet have publicly stated that he knew nothing of this story. Also, do you really believe that there is a program that allows to track an e-mail to know who and how many times you opened?

The same reference included in the mail, those who say "I am XY from the General Command of the Guardia di Finanza", "are the prof. So and So University" La Sapienza "of Rome", declaring that "the mail is true, is not the usual chain letter, I know the fellow, "do not exist and if there are, once contacted, said they were complete strangers and had never heard of.

Well, then what have we learned so far? You should never turn over this type of mail. What was the original mantra? Remember him? "Everyone BUFFALO.

But we go beyond because the story does not end here. As you can see from the site of Attivissimo, the email "hoax" and will no longer be about thirty lines. The mail that came to me was long CINQUECENTOTRENTACINQUE lines.

Why, you say, and in the remaining 93% of mail that went? E-mail, to be exact 328 mailboxes sound of people scattered around Italy.

The thing reminds me of an experiment that verified that every one of us is connected to another person on Earth from 7 levels of knowledge. Looking at the trace of the e-mail reminded me of something similar.

"My mail" is in fact the party secretary of an association of Bari I say party, but in fact I understand that this was the last person who diligently cleaned up the mail received, leaving only the message and then delete the track of how mail it to him arrived.

He then had the foresight to clean up the mail but have not used the same foresight in sending the mail to his contacts in undisclosed recipient. He that is placed in the mail, clear, all the addresses of the recipients of his acquaintances.

One of the recipients, the $ qualcosa@libero.it not to be outdone, has not only turned over the email to his list of contacts, again in the clear, but left even the contact list in email sender.

Then the email arrived at another club, even in Bari, who takes and makes it big. Since an association has many members and many e-mail. What works? Turns the e-mail to its members, again all in clear, again enclosing message and e-mail present.

At this point, one of the associates, we see that $ nontelopossodire@wooomfast.it get such important news from their association and he does. Guess what '? Forward to his contacts, again with all the emails in clear beyond those already present.

Do not you long face, mail, in the same manner described above, the buffalo-mail passes through the hands of

• EdiliziaYYYYYYY,
• XY Bank Carime,
• the holder of a limited company in that of Capurso, always in the province of Bari,
• his sales manager,
• The sales manager of a famous brand of sportswear, which among others send to a group "Customer Service" (and here I dare not think how many people was a part)
• another of his colleague,
• the sister of my friend,
• my friend

and finally, in this traceroute for e-mail to the palpitations, the "dirt" comes to me.

And what does Emiliano when he sees all this? There is a nice post on his blog and send the link to 328 mailboxes that have been kindly donated. So I hope
to

1. increase the number of hits in his blog
2. to educate those who, in this absurd chain mail, considered the true and the mail sent to other
3. to understand that you never send e-mail messages in the clear because, at current stock in the market for crackers and spammers in Russia, a valid e-mail to 50 cents, selling 328 of these e-mail would realize subscribed to more than 150 euro tax ... ... ... ... Just kidding, but someone might not be as good as myself. Think about it!

So again, for the last time, the three rules of good e-mail reader

1. Mails to recognize fake nose
2. For everything else there 'Paolo Attivissimo
3. Never send an e-mail in the clear function but use Bcc: or Bcc to hide the e-mail to the other words, to be more clear in the head "at destination" is not written anything and fit all the names in the "bcc "or" bcc "as the mail program elettronica.A all recipients will receive an email to" undisclosed recipient ".

A greeting of peace.
