After Apple decided to kill MobileMe, I was hardly looking for a solution to sync and discovery my devices located in 3 continents.</p>
<p>When DynDNS released its beta support for Wide Area Bonjour and DNS Service Discovery, i was hoping to use my own domain name with DynDNS Custom DNS service and keeping all my babies in sync and configure Apple AirPort routers. </p>
<p>Creating Bonjour didn&#8217;t help due to the hostname at my ISP.</p>
<p>Tried to set my own network using dynDNS service but WebDAV on my hosted OS X server, but tired from mssage “Unable to synchronize database with server. timed out”. Bought expensive, but 1Password really only handles web passwords.</p>
<p>Was happy to find keychain2go at App Store. Until find out that it only syns devices that connected to the same host. On top of that, the app created 987439530495 additional records and my 1.8Mb keychain become 12Mb monster&#8230;</p>
<p>THere is a few simple solution, i wish smeone will make Keychain synchronize alternative to MobileMe before June 31st..</p>

There is a JS that run within the browser and share your information with all the possible social sites.</p>
<p>Google listed websites that hosted malicious software, suspicious sites, sites that acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware. Google&#8217;s diagnostic page for w55c.net: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=cti.w55c.net</p>
<p>[box type="shadow"]w55c.net use the code to track the users that visit website and after that sell the information to 3rd party AD networks. Sites like w55c.net make money by collecting information about you and sending important data to AD &amp; Tracking networks that will use these data to spam your email, later, or send you ADS in some way.<br />
w55c.net is a domain used by AppNexus which is an advertising company that is part of a network of sites, cookies, and other technologies used to track you, what you do and what you click on, as you go from site to site, surfing the Web. Over time, sites like adnxs.com can help make an online profile of you usually including the sites you visit, your searches, purchases, and other behavior. Your profile can then be exchanged and sold between various companies like adnxs.com as well as being sold to other advertisers and marketers[/box]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only a few company offer cloud storage with WebDAV support.<br />
That maybe be an excellent idea. My home server running WebDAV &#038; afp service, I use it all the time to access files on iPhone and iPad.</p>
<p>Interesting, how large the market? Not many company offering  cloud storage providers with WebDAV support. I see that dropbox, box.net, and sugarsync do not currently support it. In fact, the only company on my knowledge is 4shared.com offering WebDav \ ftp. 15 GB for free.</p>
<p>It is not hard to set it up.<br />
OS X lion server has a nice GUI, easy to set. There is a Linux solution to setup own WebDAV and Web File Manager hosting &#8211; using BarracudaDrive. I can just rent VPS for something like $15 and set it. </p>
<p>After my last product I&#8217;m overload with networking equipment. maybe i should offer Cloud storage with WebDAV support hosting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m working on hosting websites and collecting ideas.</p>
<p>1. There are a ton of datacenters operated by independents and resellers. If you can afford the best it will be the data center that sits on top of the TELCO POP. After working for ATT, VZ, L3 and Qwest I can tell you with all honesty that anyone else cannot match the breadth and depth of their nodes. No one else has the money to buy into all of those CO&#8217;s across the USA. No one. A lot of smaller providers will dispute this but lite NODES and CO&#8217;s do not lie. If you&#8217;ve got the cash go with the majors.</p>
<p>2. Below are some points on why should any company/business co-locate their servers at a data center (Co-location vs in house):</p>
<p>1- Reduce costs by more than 50%<span id="more-1280"></span></p>
<p>2- Data center have layered security</p>
<p>3- Disaster recovery and redundancy (data and link redundancy &#8211; do not put all servers in one location.)</p>
<p>4- On site support services.</p>
<p>5- UPS and power generator backup.</p>
<p>6- Greatly diminishing any loss of mission critical data due to fire, theft, vandalism or loss of power.</p>
<p>7- Faster connectivity speed.</p>
<p>8- Let your IT team focus on your core business to be more successful</p>
<p>9- You can still access your servers anytime physically or remotely.</p>
<p>10- Adhering to industry standards.</p>
<p>in conclusion it is cheaper, better and safer.</p>
<p>3. We use colocation because it fits our business model. You gain credibility by owning your own hardware and it allows you to have more control over the IT environment of your business.</p>
<p>If you are trying to figure out whether to colocate or build a datacenter, colocating can save you a lot of money. Datacenters are very long term investments. If you are trying to decide whether to colocate or lease a server, colocation has a higher level of commitment because you own the hardware.</p>
<p>Colocation is not for everyone but it works for some business models.</p>
<p>4. Dedicated servers are a more expensive, but colocation requires more of your time/attention. Way out the two options and decide what makes more sense for you. I like Henrik&#8217;s suggestion of going dedicated at first and with growth then consider colocation.</p>
<p>For collocation you need to invest a lot of money in the server, for dedicated u just need a couple of bucks per month, depending on the monthly costs. Its like buying an apartament or renting one.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Create a new interface in the networking panel, based on an existing interface, but it will not act as a real fully functional interface (if the original interface is inactive, then the derived one is also inactive).</p>
<p>This can be achieved using a <em>Tun/Tap device</em> as suggested by psv141, and manipulating the /<em>Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist </em>file to add a NetworkService based on either a tun or tap interface. Mac OS X will not allow the creation of a NetworkService based on a virtual network interface, but one can directly manipulate the preferences.plist file to add the NetworkService by hand. Basically you would open the preferences.plist file in Xcode (or edit the XML directly, but Xcode is likely to be more fool-proof), and copy the configuration from an existing Ethernet interface. The place to create the new NetworkService is under &#8220;NetworkServices&#8221;, and if your Mac has an Ethernet device the NetworkService profile will also be under this property entry. The Ethernet entry can be copied pretty much verbatim, the only fields you would actually be changing are:</p>
<p><span id="more-1255"></span></p>
<p>UUID<br />
UserDefinedName<br />
IPv4 configuration and set the interface to your tun or tap device (i.e. tun0 or tap0).<br />
DNS server if needed.<br />
Then you would also manipulate the particular Location you want this NetworkService for (remember Mac OS X can configure all network interfaces dependent on your &#8220;Location&#8221;). The default location UUID can be obtained in the root of the PropertyList as the key &#8220;CurrentSet&#8221;. After figuring out which location (or set) you want, expand the Set property, and add entries under Global/IPv4/ServiceOrder with the UUID of the new NetworkService. Also under the Set property you need to expand the Service property and add the UUID here as a dictionary with one String entry with key __LINK__ and value as the UUID (use the other interfaces as an example).</p>
<p>After you have modified your preferences.plist file, just reboot, and the NetworkService will be available under S<em>ystemPreferences-&gt;Network. </em>Note that we have mimicked an Ethernet device so Mac OS X layer of networking will note that &#8220;a cable is unplugged&#8221; and will not let you activate the interface through the GUI. However, since the underlying device is a tun/tap device and it has an IP address, the interface will become active and the proper routing will be added at the BSD level.</p>
<p>As a reference this is used to do special routing magic.</p>
<p>In case you got this far and are having trouble, you have to create the tun/tap device by opening one of the devices under /dev/. You can use any program to do this, but I&#8217;m a fan of good-old-fashioned C myself:</p>
<p><code>#include<br />
#include<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
int fd = open("/dev/tun0", O_RDONLY);<br />
if (fd &lt; 0)<br />
{<br />
printf("Failed to open tun/tap device. Are you root? Are the drivers installed?\n");<br />
return -1;<br />
}<br />
while (1)<br />
{<br />
sleep(100000);<br />
}<br />
return 0;<br />
}</code></p>

Reason: Added because they are discovered on web-sites.</p>
<p>3. Action: Redundant Tracker rules.<br />
Added: BadDomains[i++] = &#8220;thebrighttag.com&#8221;; // Tracker &#8211; 2011-12-07<br />
// http://oldnavy.gap.com/?<br />
MinPAC: NONE<br />
Reason: For people who do not use a hosts black list and for new<br />
hosts within a domain we don&#8217;t know about yet.</p>
<p>4. Action: Redundant Ad Server rules.<br />
Added: BadDomains[i++] = &#8220;.adition.com&#8221;; // AdServer &#8211; 2012-01-02<br />

MinPAC: NONE<br />
Reason: For people who do not use a hosts black list and for new<br />
hosts within a domain we don&#8217;t know about yet.</p>
<p>5. Action: Leave this rule alone.<br />
Date: 2011-11-22<br />
NOT Removed: BadNetworks[i++] = &#8220;216.200.199.0, 255.255.255.0&#8243;;<br />
MinPAC: You can probably add this rule safely.<br />
Reason: had this block on 24-Sep-2011 on GandalfTW:<br />
canada.bpath.com/Images/BN_LOGO_WHITE_SMALL.gif<br />
(the domain is still alive)</p>
<p>6. Action: Remove temporary malware rule<br />
Date: 2011-11-22<br />
Removed: BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;protect&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Malware &#8211; 2011-06-17<br />
Reason: http://www.protectyourchild.org/</p>
<p>7. Action: white-list-rule<br />

Added: GoodDomains[i++] = &#8220;cdn.travidia.com&#8221;; // Multiple &#8211; 2011-11-23<br />
MinPAC: Add if desired.<br />
Reason: In EasyList:<br />

&#8212;<br />
Also, I am adding a BadURL_WordEnds rule and this<br />
counteracts it. I do block their cookie:</p>

<p>http://www.securemecca.com/Downloads/exceptions.xml</p>
<p>8. Action: white-list-rule<br />
Date: 2011-11-23<br />
Added: GoodDomains[i++] = &#8220;contentpurity.com&#8221;; // porn &#8211; 2011-11-23<br />
MinPAC: Add if needed<br />
Reason: www.contentpurity.com/delete-porn.gif<br />
www.contentpurity.com/images2/overcoming-porn.gif<br />
&#8212;<br />
It sometimes causes it to not even load anything.</p>
<p>9. Action: Added &#8211; tracker rule<br />
Date: 2011-11-24<br />
Added: BadDomains[i++] = &#8220;sophus3.com&#8221;; // Tracker &#8211; 2011-11-24<br />
MinPAC: Safe to add<br />
Reason: My last DNS run had my one and only host in this domain,<br />
scripts.sophus3.com not show up so I removed the rule.<br />
I was hasty and premature. Now I have added<br />
mitsubishi.sophus3.com, scripts.sophus3.com, sophus3.com,<br />
and www.sophus3.com to make sure this doesn&#8217;t happen<br />
again. A word of advices is in order. Unless the ABP<br />
filters remove this one, DO NOT REMOVE IT!</p>
<p>10. Action: white-list rule<br />
Date: 2011-12-07<br />
Added: GoodDomains[i++] = &#8220;.taleo.net&#8221;; // general &#8211; 2011-12-07<br />
MinPAC: Up to you.<br />
Reason: Blocked Job application. I couldn&#8217;t see the rule due<br />
to them using https. Here is the block:<br />
adobe.taleo.net:443</p>
<p>11. Action: Temporary malware rule<br />
Date: 2011-12-07<br />
Added: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;redret&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Malware &#8211; 2011-12-07<br />
Reason: I thought they had disappeared. Now that I have<br />
added them they will.</p>
<p>12. Action: WebMail Spam rule<br />
Date: 2011-12-09<br />
Added: BadDomains[i++] = &#8220;.flyingsharkface.com&#8221;; // Spam &#8211; 2011-12-09<br />
MinPAC: It is volatile<br />
Reason: The new kid on the block</p>
<p>13. Action: Alter a rule that causes problems.<br />
Date: 2011-12-09<br />
From: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;3x&#8221;; // Malware &#8211; 2010-04-20<br />
To: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;[^0v]3x&#8221;; // Malware &#8211; 2011-12-10<br />
Reason: d261sv3xac0f7i.cloudfront.net<br />
d2v7u03x06aro3.cloudfront.net<br />
I do NOT want to give cloudfront.net a blank check.<br />
They have a lot of trackers. I will handle them as<br />
they come or somebody reports them to me.</p>
<p>15. Action: Temporary IP block<br />
Date: 2011-12-12<br />
Added: BadNetworks[i++] = &#8220;209.81.105.157, 255.255.255.255&#8243;; // PAC Phish &#8211; 2011-12-12<br />
MinPAC: NO<br />
Reason: PAC file comes from here:<br />
epaper.yosungroup.com/epaper/images/4/4m89fh39fg95.pac<br />
and it redirects to this IP address under the authority<br />
of:<br />
Arvig Enterprises Inc.<br />
150 2nd Street SW<br />
Perham, MN 56573<br />
I have written them several email messages. There is<br />
no reply and nothing has been done. I will send them<br />
one more email message and a snail mail message with<br />
the simple concept: &#8220;PUT A HARDWARE FIREWALL BETWEEN<br />
YOUR MACHINES AND THE INTERNET IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!&#8221;</p>
<p>16. Action: Once again<br />
Date: 2011-12-26<br />
From: BadURL_Parts[i++] = &#8220;[^aceilnorst]cul[^it]&#8220;; // YOUR CHOICE &#8211; 2008-06-30<br />
To: BadURL_Parts[i++] = &#8220;[^aceilnorst]cul[^ilt]&#8220;; // YOUR CHOICE &#8211; 2008-06-30<br />
Reason: www.planete-jazz.com/images/artistes-jazz/small-id/Jamie-Cullum.jpg<br />
media.townhall.com/Townhall//ColPics/columnistsMcCullough.gif<br />
s.imwx.com/img/images/Cullman-Alabama-Tornado.jpg<br />
www.choralfest.org/images/conductors/joseph%20cullen.jpg<br />
(If I have one more I will remove it from the proxy* and<br />
dbgproxy* files so that it will be in only pornproxy*.)</p>
<p>17. Action: Spam went to 8.8.8.8<br />
Date: 2011-12-27<br />
Removed: BadDomains[i++] = &#8220;.summersquid.com&#8221;; // Spam &#8211; 2011-09-26<br />
MinPAC: REMOVE IT IF YOU HAVE IT<br />
Reason: All the hosts moved to 8.8.8.8, one of what I call<br />
&#8220;Dumper IP Addresses&#8221; which in the past were all<br />
associated with malware, thus proving the link of the<br />
spammers to malware pushers.</p>
<p>18. Action: Activate rule for everybody<br />
Date: 2011-12-27<br />
From: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;penis&#8221;; // PRIVUS Spam &#8211; 2011-09-26<br />
To: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;penis&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Spam &#8211; 2011-12-27<br />
Reason: Tested for three months with no FPs. Be sure to remove these<br />
rules if the rule is okay:<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;biggerpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;bigpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;growpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;increasepenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;longerpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;maxpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;naturalpenis&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;peniscare&#8221;;<br />
BadHostWordStarts[i++] = &#8220;penisgrowbig&#8221;;</p>
<p>19. Action: A rule that should NOT be added<br />
Date: 2011-12-27<br />
Not Added: BadURL_WordStarts[i++] = &#8220;aamsz\=&#8221;;<br />
Reason: http://www.afl.com.au/<br />
It didn&#8217;t show up when I went back and the &#8220;=&#8221; character<br />
is rejected on my web server so there is no way to test<br />
the validity of the rule.</p>
<p>20. Action: Adding some Phish rules I have inserted manually.<br />
Date: 2011-12-27<br />
Added: BadURL_Parts[i++] = &#8220;paypal\.com&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Phish &#8211; 2011-12-27<br />
BadURL_Parts[i++] = &#8220;paypal\.de&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Phish &#8211; 2011-12-27<br />
BadURL_Parts[i++] = &#8220;paypal\.fr&#8221;; // YOUR CHOICE Phish &#8211; 2011-12-27<br />
Reason: I have had these I don&#8217;t know how long with no FPs<br />
and some blocks every time I look at PhishTank so<br />
rather than merging them in later on my own it is<br />
time to give them SERIOUS consideration for Phish<br />
Protection.</p>
<p>21. Action: Tracker rule<br />
Date: 2011-12-28<br />
Added: GoodDomains[i++] = &#8220;img.constantcontact.com&#8221;; // Tracker &#8211; 2011-12-28<br />
Reason: img.constantcontact.com/ui/images1/visitor/email1_trans.gif<br />
img.constantcontact.com/ui/images1/safe_subscribe_logo.gif<br />
The domain is a tracker but all of the blocks for this host<br />
are these images with no tracking information tacked on.<br />
EasyPrivacy does not block the domain but FanBoy-Tracking<br />
does with no exclusions. I will continue to block it in<br />
my own personal hosts file but I don&#8217;t think you will find<br />
anything but normal images &#8211; I did to a hexedit of the file.</p>
<p>22. Action: white-list rule<br />
Date: 2010-01-02<br />
Added: GoodDomains[i++] = &#8220;cdn.echoenabled.com&#8221;; // counter.js &#8211; 2012-01-02<br />
MinPAC: Should not need it.<br />
Reason: cdn.echoenabled.com/clientapps/v2/counter.js<br />
The host api.echoenabled.com is also mentioned in a<br />
Mac Forum and that or both seem to be paired with<br />
api.js-kit.com. DO NOT ADD api.echoenabled.com<br />
until it generates an FP. It is used in clickinn<br />
on Like and filling in comments, though the counter<br />
is part of quantcast.com. It doesn&#8217;t matter. Mac<br />
built sites especially use it.</p>
<p>ZZ. Action: Adding dates to all rules<br />
From: NO DATE<br />
To: ADD THIS TO END &#8211; 2008-06-30<br />
Reason: They need to have dates.<br />
Rules:</p>
<p>02 Janvier 2012 UNresolved False Positives (HHH)<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>NONE</p>
<p>02 Janvier 2012 RESOLVED False Positives (HHH)<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>1. Pattern: &#8220;3x&#8221; in host<br />
Date: 2011-12-09<br />
Rules: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;3x&#8221;; // Malware &#8211; 2010-04-20<br />
Reason: d261sv3xac0f7i.cloudfront.net<br />
d2v7u03x06aro3.cloudfront.net<br />
I do NOT want to give cloudfront.net a blank check.<br />
They have a lot of trackers. I will handle them as<br />
they come or somebody reports them to me.<br />
Solution: BadHostParts[i++] = &#8220;[^0v]3x&#8221;; // Malware &#8211; 2011-12-10</p>

<blockquote>&#8220;When you have been doing this as long as i have, you start to believe that the world is basically made up of two types of people &#8212; engineers who do their best work with computers or drafting boards, and business people that don&#8217;t really understand the science, but know how ro read buyers and markets and can close a deal.</p>
<p>It is very rare that you can find someone that can do both those things.</p></blockquote>
