[ale] IPs

[Ron Frazier]

That's a cool article.  I couldn't access the web database they 
mentioned.  Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson have talked about this on occasion 
on the Security Now podcast.  Type this into google and you'll get a few 
interesting links:

geolocation site:grc.com

If you're using google with scripting off, as I do, the page automation may 
not work.  Go to the last page of the results and click the link that says 
something like "show the results that were omitted".  You get more answers 
that way.

Geolocation can be a privacy concerrn.  But, privacy is dead or almost 
dead.  Website owners can track your electronic footprints whether you want 
them to or not, even across websites, without java, flash, javascript, or 
cookies with about 86% accuracy.  If those things are turned on, even 
without cookies, it's 98%.

Check out www.grc.com/securitynow/ - Security Now podcast - episode 264 - 
Side-Channel privacy leakage.  These episodes are also available on 
www.twit.tv .  Pretty scary.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to 
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy 
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
