Cmdr Nova Report post Posted September 18, 2003 quote:Network administrators are fuming about changes made by domain registrar Verisign to the DNS system yesterday that they say violate longstanding Internet standards. Verisign yesterday added wildcard DNS records to all .com and .net domains - redirecting surfers who get lost on the Net to a search page, called Site Finder, run by the company. Those who type in non-existent addresses will also be served up Site Finder, instead of an error message. ROFLMAO. THEY F***ING OWN THE INTERNET PRACTICALLY. I had to check... www.vihyahzi.com redirects to http://sitefinder.verisign.com/lpc?url=www...ww.vihyahzi.com It's true. And so f***ing wrong. That's practically owning the internet. It's like, unfair advantage, or a monopoly of domain or something. Or, at the least, there's gonna be techincal problems down the road if their example is followed.... Good god, it is true.

Epsilon 5 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 this is wrong, it's like claiming ownership of the internet by default. Despite that, the wildcard.com stuff doesn't work with me. Must have something to do with my location/ISP oh, and lookie what i found! That's like hanging adresses to people, hey, he forgot to renew and it was expired 10 seconds ago, it's yours! Like stealing the seat on the couch of someone while he goes to pee. Probably how it happened with www.orionfleet.com and www.theunderdogs.org ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmdr Nova Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Bah. Pre-registering for an already existing domain has been going on forever. Network Solutions had a service like that before Verisign bought them out. All the domain registrars I look at have services like that. You know, I was actually thinking Microsoft when I said "unfair advantage...monopoly". lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GREG MILLER Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Did they not think this was bad to begin with??? I mean now since any domain will now resolve to something, the easiest SPAM check for ISP's is now down the drain. They can nolonger check to make sure a mail sending domain is valid or not, because they now are all valid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no such thing as hack proof. Also, the medium responsible for the security of sites, is a human (not a Gammulan, sadly enough), so they are prone to mistakes. If a hacker breaks into the FBI, its not the hardware/software that is responsible - but rather the implementation and configuration of same.
