Excellent, it's like ARIN for the PSTN.

I think this guy is just plain too controversial to be responsible for something like this.

Filthy rips Die Another Day.

Now I definitely don't want to see it until it's rentable.

Die Another Day - The Filthy Critic

In DARPA's brilliance the new IAO (Information Awareness Office) carries the logo of the Illuminati. The all-seeing eye atop a pyramid.

Here come the conspiracy theories!

DARPA IAO and the all-seeing Illuminati eye

Just reference for me. This is cool shit.

Wow. Read this:

Minewt is a minimal "testbed" implementation of a stateful address translation gateway, rendered so entirely in userspace that not even the hardware addresses of the gateway correspond to what the kernel is operating against. Minewt implements what is common referred to as NAT, as well as a Doxpara-developed technique known as MAT. MAT, or MAC Address Translation, allows several backend hosts to share the same IP address, by dropping the static ARP cache and merging Layer 2 information into the NAT state table. Minewt's ability to manipulate MAC addresses also allows it to demonstrate Guerilla Multicast, which allows multiple hosts on the same subnet to receive a unicasted TCP/UDP datastream from the outside world. Minewt is not a firewall, and should not be treated as such.

Is this a potential mechanism for maintaining state on a couple of VRRP'ed OpenBSD pf firewalls???

I know it's not what it's intended for, but you might be able to leverage his MAT capability in such a way.

More:

Paratrace traces the path between a client and a server, much like "traceroute", but with a major twist: Rather than iterate the TTLs of UDP, ICMP, or even TCP SYN packets, paratrace attaches itself to an existing, stateful- firewall-approved TCP flow, statelessly releasing as many TCP Keepalive messages as the software estimates the remote host is hop-distant.

How slick is that???
