just to validate what TH13 is saying, here a later post from ascii:

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
when i browse on the internet about hacking, sex, gamble, proxy avoidance and etc., websense corporation filtered some sites. therefore i could not browse to this sites, how could i use http-tunneling? i dont have any ideas about our firewall...

i totally understand where ascii is coming from. when i was in school the first thing i wanted to do was override restrictions. Its good that he sees the admins point of view...maybe he will actually think about what hes doing. As an admin now i know these things are done and not necessarly with evil intentions. i know what to look for and i keep watching here and other sites for new ways that its being done. which is what we all should be doing. So helpfull answers to these questions are appreciated

hes been told how to get around the fw (depending on the fw) and warned of the consequences of doing so. His future is in his hands and new admins reading this will now know what to look for in their own networks. that is the point of this site...no?

i guess what im trying to say is there isn't (IMHO) a conflict of interests in giving helpful answers to anti-security questions as long as the consequences of misuse are made known.
