: China HearsayAvast Ye Pirates, IP and Otherwise
By Stan
Wired has an excellent, fun little article about techniques used to foil modern piracy. What kind of pirates? Both the ones stealing copyrighted works and those stealing seaborne cargo.
This is useful, since I’m getting quite tired of seeing all those “pirate” headlines, hoping to find a useful IP story to blog about, only to find out after a quick read that the article was about shipping. No matter what sort of piracy you’re interested in, this is the article for you.
To whet your appetite, here is one of the six ways one may foil the dastardly schemes of both kinds of pirates:
Set Up Surveillance
At Sea — By flooding the deck with light and posting round-the-clock lookouts, captains try to prevent ambushes.Online — ISPs keep a sharp eye out for BitTorrent buccaneers and other P2Pirates by shining searchlights on the content flowing across their networks?aka packet sniffing.
Enjoy, me hearties.
