new version of "coolwebsearch" blocks access to some security sites

[jenjen]

Cybr1d, as for the legality of it.. it's unknown..

but the best description of all the flavors/changes/modifications done by the authors of CWS was posted in my first post.

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html

it's quite detailed..

Hey nihil just a question...but what do you do?

Don't worry about the Feds, they know who I am, where I live, my phone number, passport number, social security number and all that. So do MI6 and Scotland Yard Special Branch....I wouldn't have got full MoD, DoD and NATO security clearance without positive vetting

And just a little side post to get some more conversation started up:

In my opinion, the Half Life 2 source code wasn't stolen, Vavle leaked it so they could buy more time to work on the game....And Gg!

Hi lansing.......nothing really exciting.......

Project management, systems analysis, business analysis, systems design, applications support, hardware support , systems testing, applications training , systems architecture.......you may use different terms?


In the defence industry, you need to be cleared to the highest level, because you have to be able to go anywhere? Also done a bit for the cops.

Cheers

much as I hate to say this... as no scripting/DDOS or other things are nice...
but since coolwebsearch keeps playing nasty and downright dirty, Id love to see some of the kiddiots focus thier attention that way for a while. Now I know, I know... two wrongs dont make a right.... but COME ON. Enough is enough, coolweb....
they are basically hacking at this point. Hijacking is taking someone somewhere they dont want to go... so If I hijack a plane, I expect to be punished. They hijack browsers, they should be punished. Hope the government kicks thier asses in. but you and I know that is a lengthy process... and because its profitable to pop up ads, and get hits by redirection, no matter how the redirection should happen, someone esle will do it after the fall of coolwebsearch. there are plenty of them out there, just not as bold as coolweb.
Denying access to sites? hmmm, well in america anyway that sure flys in the face of freedom. Why should anyone restrict me on where I can and can not go on the internet?
I hate the whole site, mostly because I often get stuck mucking up the mess it makes of a PC.
I hope they burn in Hell.
ARGH

Coolwebsearch is doing a lot more than only denying access to sites, it doesn't belong on any computer!

I'm pretty sure I don't have this latest version of CWS.. and my hosts file has just what I put in it.. but I'll be damned if I can get to ANY of the links that jenjen posted..

http://www.merijn.org
http://www.spywareinfo.com
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?showtopic=3053

at this last one.. or just even http://forums.tomcoyote.org

you'll see this..
"This domain has had massive attacks against it and the FBI has been notified with all IP's related to the attacks. We are not for sale by the way. "

can anyone else access these links ? I think not.. another box of mine gives the same results.. this is WAR.. these bastards truly HAVE "upped the stakes"..



edit : I was searching news for anything about this.. didn't find much.
but I did find a nice article about hijacks.

Yeah I am unable to acces merijn.org and spyware site too....

For time being I thought whether it was one more cruel attack of CWS but than checked the Hosts file .. it just had all the entries I have put....

But what could be the reasons for Merijn and spyware site to be down.... ?????

[sumdumguy]

the reasons ? DDOS..

/sdg starts the chant..

"hackers and crackers unite.. give CWS something back to them"

the scumsuckers..

[avenger_jcc]

thats what Im saying, all you idiots who want to "make a name" for yourself... if your gonna go to prison anyway at least let some good come from it...
