A new release from D.P. (Dyslexic Press) reports that tech advisors have created and released a major patch for a critical vulnerability in the OAW browser. The browser, known to wander aimlessly through cyber space, has now been linked to, and remains in the TR Workspace. It is fed links to information within the TR site itself and occasional short diversion outside the site, but a homing device has been implanted to insure its safe return.
Tech advisors continue to watch for irregularities and irradic behavior, uncertain at present when the release date to the general public will occur, but report improvements. They have not, as yet, found a way to keep the browser from erupting into large bursts of laughter.
Some speculation occurred regarding releasing the browser on end users to act as a temporary firewall so that those who take their work seriously can be set free from bothersome distraction. Combining the two functions, that of browser and firewall, in one unit may put TR in the lead over MS and all other software manufacturers. It might, though, prove to put them behind the eight ball, in which case a temporary virtual pool table is now being considered at the TR site.
What is a proxy server? A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you.
What is an anonymous proxy server? Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent your from unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that they don't even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc.
What types of public proxy servers exist? 1. Transparent - HTTP proxy server reveals all. Usable only for transfer speed improvement. 2. Anonymous - HTTP proxy server doesn't send any variables with your real IP to host, but it sends variables indicating that you are using proxy. 3. High Anonymity - HTTP proxy server doesn't send ANY variables indicating that you are using proxy server to host.
Why should I use proxy servers? 1. Transfer speed improvement. Proxy servers accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called 'cache'. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. 2. Security and privacy. Anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.
3. Sometimes you may encounter problems while accessing to web server when server administrator restricted access from your IP or even from wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain countries or geographical regions). So you try to access those pages using an anonymous proxy server.
What is a public proxy server? It is a proxy server which is free and open for everybody on the Internet. Unfortunately most of them are not anonymous.
What is a free proxy checker? Free service trying to provide daily updated list of public HTTP proxy servers. Usually provide small list of proxies with low percent of functioning servers due to hosting restrictions on CPU time (they simply can't allow themselves to check many proxies every second especially in parallel).
What is a pay proxy checker? A pay database of free public proxies. Solution for pros. A place where a huge list of proxy servers has been compiled. It uses the latest algorithms for collection and sorting of proxy servers, checking them for anonymity, SSL-based access and other properties.
What is SOCKS? SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without requiring direct IP-reachability. SOCKS is often used as a network firewall, redirecting connection requests from hosts on opposite sides of a SOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests, establishes a proxy connection, and relays data between hosts.
Are there dangerous proxies? Yes. First, there are servers of goverment organisations (FBI, CIA, NASA etc.) and organizations working close with federal/state and corporate law enforcement. Second, there are hackers. And don't believe those proxy checkers (even pay ones) telling you "we filter all dangerous proxies". It's impossible. Nobody can tell you if that proxy you are using is monitored or not. Of course we've blacklisted all IPs and IP ranges we found to be dangerous (in fact hundreds of ranges).
What should I do if the access to some web-sites is restricted for me (by my provider, administrators etc) ? Use a proxy server ! Its principle of operation allows you to surf on many sites you have been forbidden. Certainly, the provider can find out, that you are using proxy and also restrict access to this proxy server. However there are many free proxies servers on the Internet, and you ca easily take another proxy, and continue to travel on the sites closed for you.
Is it legal to surf through open proxies? As far as we can tell, the answer is yes. The primary argument against open proxies is that their owners may not have intended for them to be used by the public. However, by running a service on a machine accessible to the public, without restricting access to that service, the machine's administrator is implicitly consenting for that service to be used by the public. A proxy server is just like a web server, an FTP server, or any other net service: if it's running and accepting connections, it's fair game.With regard to US law in particular, 18 USC 1030 (which covers computer-related fraud and theft) applies only when the user has knowingly accessed a computer without authorization or has knowingly exceeded his authorized access on that computer. Because an open HTTP proxy, by default, allows connections and use of the service by anyone in the world, the proxy's administrator has essentially "authorized" everyone to use the service. There's no intentional bypassing of security taking place. Just as you don't need Google's express written permission to connect to google.com, you don't need a proxy admin's express written permission to use his open proxy server.
But there is already the corporate proxy server in my company ! In this case you can use: 1)anonymizers (CGI proxy) 2)a chain of proxy servers
What is proxy chaining ? A Proxy chaining is merely connecting to more than one proxy and then to your intended destination. You can use as many proxy servers as you can or want. The more you have, the more anonymous you will be.
How does using the proxy server affect the performance of Netscape (or Internet Explorer)? It may take slightly longer to connect over a dialing line if you are using the proxy server setup. That's because your browser must first load the proxy instructions before it proceeds with the session. It is also possible that, as more and more resources come to be protected by the proxy server, it may slow your browser's performance a little.
Do I need to do anything to exit the proxy server? Yes. When you have finished using the proxy services, remember to turn the proxy server settings off. If you do not, all further internet transactions will be filtered through the proxy server. Unnecessary use of the proxy server may slow down your internet access.
What is PAC ? PAC stands for a Proxy Auto Config file. It does the same thing as you when configuring Web browsers to use a proxy server. But it makes the browser to load its proxy configuration information from a remote JavaScript file, but not from the information you enter directly.
Do I need to perform the browser configuration every time I go online? No. Configuring your browser is a one-time event -- unless you change to a new browser or to a new proxy server.
Why it can be faster to surf via proxy ? Some proxy server does web caching thus gives you extra WWW (and partially FTP) speed. Idea is very simple: client program tries to retrieve the requested document not from the real location, but from cache/proxy. If cache/proxy does not find this document in its cache space it downloads it and returns to the client.
I want to scan for some IRC proxy - How? Download IRC proxy checker: (check under proxy tools) Import last proxy list, define IRC server and time and scan for working proxies. And remember that you must try to find proxies on other ports than : 23 , 1080 (socks) ,80 - 81 ,3128 , 8080 ,8081. Because almost all IRC server scan now for proxy with ports above.
The program is not able to work with proxy. What should I do ? Making a program to use a proxy server depends on the type of proxy. For SOCKS proxy you?ll need SocksCap (check under proxy tools). It will socksificate any program i.e. redirect all requests to the socks proxy. For HTTP it?s necessary for the proxy server to support HTTPS protocol. Install a local SOCKS proxy server and using Socks2HTTP redirect all requests to it on HTTP proxy.
If I am using a Proxy Server does this prevent me from downloading files? Using a Proxy Server will not prevent you from downloading.
My IPS is AT&T/MSN/America Online (AOL)/CompuServe/Prodigy and I can not use proxy ! Web browsers provided by these Internet Service Providers may not work properly with the Proxy Server.
I don't know what is the best anonymous proxy, level 1 or level 5? Level 1 but the primary question here what you understand under truly anonymous proxy. Difference between proxy level 1 or 2 and the other proxies is that proxies level 1,2 are indistinguishable from a browser and the other proxies spills more and more variables. The most important thing is of the proxy spills the really ip or not. Generally proxy level does not matter if proxy not spills the real ip.
Are IRC proxies only proxies for IRC? No. IRC proxies are actually proxies that support connect method. All IRC proxies you can use to connect anonymously to the ftp servers, ICQ....

I googled Nanhua High School after reading Wang Jun's post that he did so and found his and my blogs at the 4th page. So I decided to give it a try. This result from ChannelNewsAsia interested me alot.
See this stupid Howard using the Tablet with Suan Fong and the King beside him? Damn, his face must have been broadcasted throughout Channel 8, U, 5 and NewsAsia.
I have pasted the full article below.
SINGAPORE : It was a packed programme for King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia on the second day of his official visit to Singapore.
The king is on a three-day state visit at the invitation of Singapore President S.R. Nathan.
King Sihamoni's morning started in Clementi.
His first stop was at Nan Hua High School, where he was warmly greeted by the principal and students.
The school is 89 years old, and home to more than 1,700 students.
The king was particularly interested in learning more about how the school employs technology in the classroom.
There, Secondary One and Two students use a tablet PC in learning up to seven subjects, and the entire school is also wirelessly connected to the Internet.
The king saw for himself how the students make use of computers in a laboratory session.
In one of the lessons, a student explained to the Cambodian king on how they mix several essential oils to make perfume.
Then it was off to a geography lesson.
The school's teachers explain that using the laptops means lessons are not confined to just textbooks and students can even use resources from the Internet.
Even homework is mostly done using their laptops, which are optional for students at the cost of $2,800.
The only time the students use pen and paper is for their examinations.
Next, it was another lesson for the king - this time in history when he visited the Asian Civilisations Museum.
The king also visited the National Orchid Garden where a new orchid hybrid - the Denbrodium Norodom Sihamoni - was named after him.
The robust and free-flowering hybrid has about 15 to 25 richly coloured flowers per spray.
Its petals are gracefully twisted with slightly wavy margins and its floral parts are violet-purple with white borders.
King Sihamoni wraps up his state visit to Singapore on Friday. - CNA/de
How do we use this technology in the classroom? We don't. The Tablets are stashed away at home. On the (very-rare) occasions when the teacher tells us to bring them to school for lessons, the class would always groan and give excuses like, "Wa lao, so heavy." and "Dont want. Got CCA la" . At least this is what happens in our class. But it should be the same situation in other TPC classes. So when we do not even bring the TPCs, do we use them in our lab lessons? Or other lessons for that matter. The only time period we brought our Tablet PC to school daily was when we first got our Tablet PCs last year. We were so excited about them that we lugged them around in and out of school. But what did we do with them? Listen to music, play turn-based online game Gunbound and spam other students with fake Colligo admin messages. Did we use them properly for lessons? No, we did not.
"Even homework is mostly done using their laptops, which are optional for students at the cost of $2,800. The only time the students use pen and paper is for their examinations." Wow, when did we ever use the TPC to do our homework? I don't think I can remember. It seems like from day one, teachers have been using paper to give us worksheets. The only exception was last year when Mr Chow gave us a simple scanned-in worksheet on Vernier Calipers. Otherwise, I don't think we have ever used it for homework. And after including the cost of insurance, CD-RW/DVD-R drives, locks, screen protectors and other accesories, I don't think the price of the TPC would be only $2,800.
Ok, what I have said is the reality now in Nanhua. But I can see improvements in this Tablet PC programme. Teachers (like Mr Adrian Tan and Mdm Yip) are really urging us to bring the Tablets to school and use it. They are also adjusting their lessons to bring in the usage of Tablets. To prevent students from playing online games or surf undesirable (gaming, porn) websites, the school implemented SonicWall, a firewall that blocks access to websites the Admin specified using keywords for example, game, so www.game.com and www.gamefreakz.blogspot.com (my website! :'( ) could not be accessed. This would discourage students from using the Tablet in inappropriate activities, if students bring the Tablets for lessons in the future. But what is the big problem that makes TPC students so reluctant to bring the Tablets to school? It is the weight. The Tablet PC with the Main and Bay batteries slotted in would weigh around 2.5 kg. That is quite heavy accounting the weight of the textbooks and files we carry daily (yes we do. only crap people like Xiaotian don't) I guess the average weight of your bag should be around 4-5 kg. Would anyone want an additional 2.5kg in your bag? So, you can carry the Tablets using a carrier bag with your arm, but that is for short distances. What about people who do not take parent's cars to school will take either bus or MRT. Yeah, businessmen carry them around like that, but they have cars. For me, bringing the Tablet to school is normally a half hour strain to each arm (I switch between them). Just try going to the gym one day with a bag weighing 5 kg and holding a 2.5kg weight in your arm. Then stand there for around half an hour. After that walk on the treadmill briskly (8km/h). See how you feel if you do it daily. To solve this problem, the school should get lighter laptops from Fujitsu. There are 1.5kg laptops out there in the market. Because of the Tablet function, the Tablet would probably weigh more than other laptops because of the extra components and screen and I think being able to write on the screen is quite useless. Typing is so much more efficient, neater and faster.
So I conclude that it would help this TPC programme alot if the school buys lighter laptops in the future. The other problem should be easier to achieve, that is that the teachers should try and put in the usage of Tablets in their lessons, because currently, the most teachers would do is connect to the overhead projector and beam material on the screen to teach and for us to learn.
