Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default IP blocker or something?

So if one was to use torrents. What programs would they use to protect themselves from things such as the RIAA? I'm looking for something that covers both a home network or maybe something that covers just one pc?
I was thinking peer gaurdian but that doesn't work for windows vista.

You can get riaa blacklists from google... They're known servers that you can then block from connecting to your client all together...

It's really not worth it though, what are you downloading that you can't find for free?

There are blocklists; but it's easy to get around that. It's just an arms race. you should use the blocklist, but don't think they won't find you.

However, you're a needle in a haystack to them, so...

Doesn't matter, it's still illegal to download it even if you already own it.

As long as you're not running Vista then PeerGuardian (http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/) should suit your needs...
