New sSportscasting competitor = ADMINS WORST NIGHTMARE

That's right, there is a new competitor in subscription
online broadcasting of sports, which is being
talked about in sevreal figure skating discussion
boards, including mine.

This new subscription service, at abour $42 per
year, at current exchange rates will be a network
admins WORST NIGHTMARE. This is
becuase of the high amount of bandwidth
used, at 992K, and encrypted, too.

And one guy from China has put VERY
detailed instructions on at least THREE
figure skating boards, including mine, or
how to get past ANY firewall to use it.
So even the "secure" networks that Leythos
touts, might be no match for this new service.

Their servers are in Russia, and its a Russian
service, and they broadcast worldwide at
992K

It doesn't work, it doesn't matter how you play the game, they can't get
to the entry point from any of our networks - it's really that simple.

Nothing they can put up can be reached from our networks, we only allow
connections to business approved sites, not some filtered list that
allows x category, but hard approved lists.

And I suppose you've never read about a person in another country that
commits a crime across the internet being arrested in his home
country...

*sigh*

You're more then welcome to try that, but in a network environment built
for security, a number of things will get in your way.

1) Floppies are not available.

2) USB sticks will not install (nor will any other unauthorized device
install)

3) Unknown exes won't run.

4) You'll be fired for testing policy #3.

5) Packets address to, or received from unknown servers are simply
discarded.

Unless it formats the drive it won't work on most of our systems or
laptops.

They don't need to see the data, only where the connection is too, and
that's enough to tell that you're not doing something accepted by
company policy.

So, again, on a properly secured network it would not work no matter how
many proxy sites you have, and one less secure networks it would stand
out like a sore thumb.

Actually, it's easy to defeat with a CHEAP firewall appliance, and even
many SOHO solutions can defeat your proxy crap.

Fact is, as smaller I.T. admins learn how easy it is, and as larger
companies learn how much productivity is lost, you're show won't be
listened to anywhere except third world countries that don't increase
your ratings.

And yet, assisting in a crime is still a crime in Oz, and you give
methods to break laws and work contracts - so you can be liable.
