gov pings

25 Jun '01

I'm getting a lot of pings on my server from linux.plano.gov -- like several times a day for weeks now. He has never, however, visited the web site (http://www.oshkoshbygosh.org) just pings it. Anybody got any idea what he's up to? I discovered it last night when my server got some sort of finger loop weirdness that really appeared like some sort of DOS attack, and he was the last IP to hit the server before that started. > un 24 23:20:22 cybershamanix kernel: auditIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.105.235.30 > DST=64.108.120.44 LEN=1492 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=239 ID=27715 DF PROTO=ICMP TYP > E=8 CODE=0 ID=39612 SEQ=57072 > Jun 24 23:27:12 cybershamanix xinetd[1300]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 7: c > an't verify hostname: gethostbyname(localhost.localdomain) failed > Jun 24 23:27:43 cybershamanix last message repeated 139 times > Jun 24 23:28:14 cybershamanix last message repeated 68 times > Jun 24 23:29:26 cybershamanix last message repeated 3 times > Jun 24 23:35:44 cybershamanix xinetd[1300]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 7: c > an't verify hostname: gethostbyname(localhost.localdomain) failed > Jun 24 23:36:43 cybershamanix last message repeated 268 times > Jun 24 23:36:43 cybershamanix kernel: VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached > Jun 24 23:46:51 cybershamanix xinetd[1300]: Exiting... > -- Harmon Seaver, MLIS CyberShamanix Work 920-203-9633 hseaver(a)cybershamanix.com Home 920-233-5820 hseaver(a)ameritech.net

Go back to the page and look again. They link to a correction that they are *not* currently developing implants. They *are* developing watches and pagers which use a combination of GPS and cellphone tech to track wearers, aimed particularly at the elder care and child markets - sort of a commercial version of the home incarceration monitoring ankle bracelets. Anyone who has worked with GPS knows that the fastest way to lose signal is to go in a house, or wrap your hand around the antenna. A GPS enabled implant sounds very unlikely. DA has been hyping this stuff for years (yes, including implants). I'll consider it vaporware until I see some independent evaluations.
