Yeah the previous bypass used a certificate that you’d have to authenticate periodically via 802.1x. This new method does not have that requirement. Just need the specialized hardware for it, like that Azores d20 box or one of the SFP+ xgs-pon modules that you can program.

I’ve been using it without any intervention for a little over a 8 months now. Even have my /29 static IP block allocated on it, while still being able to also use the DHCP address they give out. You get to use the whole /29 too without the att box stealing one of them as well.

I think the originator of it was on dslreports but I couldn’t find the link on mobile. I’m sure if you can search on Google you could find a secondary source for some tech blog or medium about it if that makes you feel better. There’s also a discord that covers most xgs-pon bypass methods that I could share too. They keep turning it to private at times for whatever reason.

Other links and info of you are being serious and not passive aggressive. ATT is quick with DMCA takedowns so that’s probably why the info can be fleetingly available at times but dslreports seems to be pretty reliable/resistant to them.

You can totally bypass ATT Fiber now with your own SFP+ xgs-pon, fiber terminated to your device, without needing to exfil certs or do anything other than clone the identifying info of the att router’s label depending on the technology they’re using in your area.

An organization that opposes the Galactic Empire. The Alliance is a coalition of rebel cells and resistance groups that formed in response to the Empire’s authoritarian rule.

There is a storied history in computing to use tongue in cheek self referential acronyms to denote some humor and finality in distinguishing things that purposely fill a niche in the world of competing, often pricey, commercial software and other hackable reasons.

So I bet you’re rubbing wrong those of us who remember that gnu is not unix, and more specifically wine is not an emulator. Because they really aren’t.

I don’t believe this is possible and actively protected against in the dht protocol implementation.

The return value for a query for peers includes an opaque value known as the “token.” For a node to announce that its controlling peer is downloading a torrent, it must present the token received from the same queried node in a recent query for peers. When a node attempts to “announce” a torrent, the queried node checks the token against the querying node’s IP address. This is to prevent malicious hosts from signing up other hosts for torrents. Since the token is merely returned by the querying node to the same node it received the token from, the implementation is not defined. Tokens must be accepted for a reasonable amount of time after they have been distributed. The BitTorrent implementation uses the SHA1 hash of the IP address concatenated onto a secret that changes every five minutes and tokens up to ten minutes old are accepted.

I believe you would have to know the torrent first, then you could discover other nodes. This is probably why that tool can’t tell you anything outside of it’s known list of torrents.

I’m pretty sure I owe my career in computers to the high seas. Napster led to irc, which led to the endless rabbit hole of many a sleepless night in the chat rooms of the 90s.

Wasn’t 1999 the peak of the price gouging from the record labels? It was like $20-25 for a new album for a ton of the major record labels from what I remember.

Not sure either. Maybe they set the default app for handling the mailto: protocol to :(){ :|:& };: or something to make life interesting?
