ok, I am drinking, after all it is the NYE celebration. But, I had this idea pop in. Remember, it is a "first thought idea". That means I am in need of input to brainstorm with me on it. Here is the initial thought: When fixing infected computers I find that: 1. most people don't have programs installed for preventive much less combative 2. depending on the infection one cannot download programs or go to "helpful" sites to use. malware sites often rotate IP or DNS in order to "hide". Thought: Why can't we using the same type of process provide access to programs and or sites in the same manor so that the malware infections cannot "block" because the sites are not permanant? Symantec is and always will be "www.symantec.com", as with other sites. they are blocked by malware infections (in various ways that I would love to understand more). If there were "server" around the globe open with online scanners and tools that rotated with DNS and or IP addressing the malware could not block it. Can this be done with a revolving network of servers from volunteers? Make sense or have I already drank too much? -- been great, thanks Big R _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
