L.A. Sony Pictures employee hospitalized; anthrax exposure suspected
by Xeni Jardin 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

(CNN) -- California is the latest state to report a possible case of anthrax exposure. http://www.cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/conditions/10/13/anthrax/index.html An employee of Sony Pictures in Culver City has been admitted to the hospital after opening an envelope containing a white powdery substance, a local law enforcement official said. (Full story) "When he opened it, he took an item out and got a white powdery substance on his hands," Culver City Police Lt. Dave Tankenson said. The man, whose name was not released, was being examined at Brotman Medical Center on Friday, Tankenson said. Tankenson said officials were discussing the possibility the powder was anthrax but could not be sure until test results were completed. "We're treating it as a serious incident until we learn otherwise," he said. (...)

For anyone interested, Squid is basically just an HTTP/FTP cache.... similar to what AOL uses, for instance, and many satellite-based Net ISPs (Starband, DirecPC) use to maximize bandwidth utlization. Black Helicopter alert: Squid is based on an ARPA-funded project called "Harvest".... a project that investigated "harversting" of data across large, presumably public, networks, for archiving and "study" :) Squid itself is opensource.... if you're interested, check out http://www.squid-cache.org This is totally off-topic, but consider this: the way that a Proxy cache works (not just Squid, any cache) is that it stores all of the requested objects (web pages and files, in this case) on a series of local servers. Then, when a user requests them, it serves them off of ITS pages -- that way, it doesn't have to fetch them from the "public" Internet. Now, what do you have? Yep... a complete archive on SafeWeb's local servers of all pages requested by their users. Not being a conspiracy nut, I won't connect the last dot.... but you see the value of this to someone like the CIA -- besides an opportunity to create a voyeur-google, you can also control selected pages' contents (be replacing them with your own contents and disabling HTTP refresh of the page through the cache). To get back to the RIAA point, though: What you're looking at are HTTP headers (what you'd see if you Telnet'ed to port 80 on Safeweb's web servers). Again, this won't get you any closer to identifying the path that someone took to get to Safeweb, and therefore, you cannot identify a target via this type of information. (The more interesting point would be: can Safeweb do so? The answer is "you bet." The only thing they would have to do is classic log/connection-time synchronization analysis, and that would tell them the connection details of the user in question. But this can only be done by Safeweb or someone with access to Safeweb logs.)

RIAA Safeweb Proxy ID

Thanks to SC: [SC's IP address replaced by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] ----- I've tuned in late to the riaa/safeweb thing, but I'm chiming in with my bit. Tracing from safeweb is an interesting exercise; the geography is very typical of the internet backbone and the router hops packets take. I wrote a script to mail all possible headers from a connecting browser to myself. I installed it on my server http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8140, and then connected from Safeweb. This anonymizer uses a caching proxy server, listening for connections on several IPs; it preserves client headers while obviously changing the IP of the originating connection; it preserves many of the originating headers; it adds some new headers. Here's the output: GATEWAY_INTERFACE..........CGI/1.1 REMOTE_ADDR..........64.124.150.136 DATE_LOCAL..........Saturday, 13-Oct-2001 01:22:45 EDT REQUEST_METHOD..........GET QUERY_STRING.......... DOCUMENT_URI........../index.html HTTP_ACCEPT..........image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, */* REMOTE_PORT..........2513 SERVER_ADDR..........142.204.119.75 HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE..........en-us HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL..........max-age=259200 REDIRECT_STATUS..........200 HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING..........gzip SERVER_NAME..........xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR..........127.0.0.1 SERVER_PORT..........8140 DOCUMENT_NAME..........index.html HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE..........Sat, 13 Oct 2001 05:15:44 GMT; length=853 REDIRECT_URL........../ DATE_GMT..........Saturday, 13-Oct-2001 05:22:45 GMT SERVER_PROTOCOL..........INCLUDED HTTP_REFERER..........http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx HTTP_USER_AGENT..........Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) HTTP_CONNECTION..........keep-alive REQUEST_URI........../ HTTP_HOST..........xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8140 HTTP_VIA..........1.0 anongo.com:3128 (Squid/2.3.STABLE3) The last one in the list is the flavour of proxy they use: Squid/2.3.stable3 And the DNS name of the source box for the HTTP request is anongo.com, which I don't believe showed up in your trace logs. Basically a caching proxy server's header set. The authoritative name servers for anongo.com are ns3.above.net www.anongo.com redirects to Safeweb. The boxes are standard unix/apache with ssl. They have written scripts to replace the originating address header and keep track of the connection, receive requested files to their cache, and then serve from that cache to your browser. The machines would absolutely be configured to do sophisticated logging; there is no free lunch on the net. While they appear to do a nice job, their server logs would be a goldmine. Everyone who uses a commercial web browser agrees to have their information gathered the first time they use that browser - do you want to continue? When you say yes, you mean it! -----
