: Spy BlogBT Webwise Phorm deep packet inspection snooping without consent trial starts Tuesday September 30th 2008
The controversial 3rd "technical trial" by British Telecom of their Webwise / Phorm deep packet inspection, snooping and cookie faking system built into their ISP infrastructure, starts tomorrow Tuesday 30th September 2008.
If you are unlucky enough to have been "selected" involuntarily for this trial, then please let us know, as there are several technical tests and techniques which can be run to learn more about the Phorm scheme, to see if BT have actually improved on the highly intrusive snooping and cookie faking and advert hijacking system.
They vaguely promised that they would magically develop a way of opting out of the scheme, which did not involve having to install a permanent tracking cookie in each web browser / computer whose broadband internet connection is being intercepted by this commercial trial.
These commercial trials and any deployed systems should be opt in schemes, rather than, as now, forcing you to opt out repeatedly, and compromising your internet anionymity.
See Bad Phorm and Dephormation and The Register: BT's third Phorm trial starts tomorrow for more details.
