Aussie Net Filtering Trial Delayed 83

hopejr writes "The Federal Opposition says it is not surprised the Government's mandatory internet filtering trial has been delayed. The trial, which was meant to begin today, has been postponed until mid-January 2009 and the internet service providers (ISPs) who will participate will be announced at the same time. ISPs iiNet and Optus both said yesterday they had not heard anything about their applications to participate in the trial, and doubted the Government would meet its own deadline."

Submission + - Security flaws in Aussie net filter exposed (banthisurl.com) 2

Faldo writes: "There's a three part interview with a computer security expert on BanThisURL that goes into the flaws in the Aussie net filtering scheme.

In addition to SSH tunnels and proxies, more worrying problems like trojaning the boxes to set up man in the middle attacks (which the interviewee has done in his lab), cross site scripting and the Australian blacklist leaking are all discussed.

Worrying and relevant, especially since Thailand's blacklist has just been leaked."
