  • Review of the EU Copyright Framework
    Review of the EU copyright framework European Implementation Assessment Review of the EU copyright framework: The implementation, application and effects of the "InfoSoc" Directive (2001/29/EC) and of its related instruments European Implementation Assessment Study In October 2014, the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) requested from the European Parliament Research Service (EPRS) an Ex Post Impact Assessment on Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (InfoSoc). This EPRS publication was originally commissioned in the context of JURI's own- initiative implementation report, which was adopted in Plenary in July 2015, Rapporteur Julia Reda MEP. However, it is also relevant to the work of JURI Committees' Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright (CWG), chaired by Jean Marie Cavada MEP. Furthermore, this request was made in the wider context of the Commission's review of the EU legislative framework on copyright, and the ensuing legislative proposals, which have been a long time in the planning and which are now expected for the 4th quarter of 2015. The objective of these proposals is to modernise the EU copyright framework, and in particular the InfoSoc Directive, in light of the digital transformation. Accordingly, in response to the JURI request, the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the European Parliament Research Service decided to produce a "European Implementation Assessment on the review of the EU copyright framework". Implementation reports of EP committees are now routinely accompanied by European Implementation Assessments, drawn up by the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the Directorate for Impact Assessment and European Added Value, within the European Parliament's Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services.

  • Threat Modeling and Circumvention of Internet Censorship by David Fifield
    Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship By David Fifield A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Professor Deirdre Mulligan Professor Vern Paxson Fall 2017 1 Abstract Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship by David Fifield Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Research on Internet censorship is hampered by poor models of censor behavior. Censor models guide the development of circumvention systems, so it is important to get them right. A censor model should be understood not just as a set of capabilities|such as the ability to monitor network traffic—but as a set of priorities constrained by resource limitations. My research addresses the twin themes of modeling and circumvention. With a grounding in empirical research, I build up an abstract model of the circumvention problem and examine how to adapt it to concrete censorship challenges. I describe the results of experiments on censors that probe their strengths and weaknesses; specifically, on the subject of active probing to discover proxy servers, and on delays in their reaction to changes in circumvention. I present two circumvention designs: domain fronting, which derives its resistance to blocking from the censor's reluctance to block other useful services; and Snowflake, based on quickly changing peer-to-peer proxy servers. I hope to change the perception that the circumvention problem is a cat-and-mouse game that affords only incremental and temporary advancements.

  • Best VPN Services in 2017 (Speed, Cost & Usability Reviews)
    10/8/2017 Best VPN Services in 2017 (Speed, Cost & Usability Reviews) Best VPN Services VPN Reviews & In-Depth Comparisons Brad Smith Sep 18, 2017 With the help of John & Andrey (https://thebestvpn.com/contact-us/), we’ve put together a list of best VPNs. We compared their download/upload speed, support, usability, cost, servers, countries and features. We also analyzed their TOS to see if they keep logs or not and whether they allow P2P and work with Netflix. here’s a link to the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11IZdVCBjVvbdaKx2HKz2hKB4F Z_l8nRJXXubX4FaQj4/) You want to start using a VPN, but don’t know which software/service to use? In this page, we’ve reviewed 30+ most popular VPN services (on going process). In order to find out which are best VPNs, we spent some time on research and speed testing: 1. Installed 30+ VPN software on our personal devices, such as Windows, Mac, Android and iOS and compared their usability. 2. Performed Download/Upload speed tests on speedtest.net to see which had best performing servers. 3. Double checked if they work with Netflix and allow P2P. 4. Read their TOS to verify if they keep logs or not. 5. Compared security (encryption and protocols). That means we’ve dug through a large number of privacy policies (on logging), checked their features, speed, customer support and usability. If you know a good VPN provider that is not listed here, please contact us and we’ll test it out as soon as possible. 5 Best VPNs for Online Privacy and Security Here are the top 5 VPN services of 2017 after our research, analysis, monitoring, testing, and verifying.

  • List of NMAP Scripts Use with the Nmap –Script Option
    List of NMAP Scripts Use with the nmap –script option Retrieves information from a listening acarsd daemon. Acarsd decodes ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System) data in real time. The information retrieved acarsd-info by this script includes the daemon version, API version, administrator e-mail address and listening frequency. Shows extra information about IPv6 addresses, such as address-info embedded MAC or IPv4 addresses when available. Performs password guessing against Apple Filing Protocol afp-brute (AFP). Attempts to get useful information about files from AFP afp-ls volumes. The output is intended to resemble the output of ls. Detects the Mac OS X AFP directory traversal vulnerability, afp-path-vuln CVE-2010-0533. Shows AFP server information. This information includes the server's hostname, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and hardware type afp-serverinfo (for example Macmini or MacBookPro). Shows AFP shares and ACLs. afp-showmount Retrieves the authentication scheme and realm of an AJP service ajp-auth (Apache JServ Protocol) that requires authentication. Performs brute force passwords auditing against the Apache JServ protocol. The Apache JServ Protocol is commonly used by ajp-brute web servers to communicate with back-end Java application server containers. Performs a HEAD or GET request against either the root directory or any optional directory of an Apache JServ Protocol ajp-headers server and returns the server response headers. Discovers which options are supported by the AJP (Apache JServ Protocol) server by sending an OPTIONS request and lists ajp-methods potentially risky methods. ajp-request Requests a URI over the Apache JServ Protocol and displays the result (or stores it in a file).

  • Vyprvpn Auf Einem ASUS Router Einrichten “Schritt Für Schritt”
    8.11.2019 Anleitung: ASUS Router mit VPN in Betrieb nehmen "Schritt für Schritt" mit VyprVPN - dem besten VPN-Service für sicheres Sufen Menue Anleitung: VyprVPN auf einem ASUS Router einrichten “Schritt für Schritt” von Markus Hanf Letzte Aktualisierung: 12. September 2019 Approbierter Mathematiker und Netzwerkspezialist. Dozent an einigen Universitäten. Es ist ganz einfach einen ASUS Router direkt in Betrieb zu nehmen, ganz unabhängig davon welchen Internetrouter Du derzeit verwendest. Wir haben einen ganzen Vorgang der Inbetriebnahme in einer Anleitung beschrieben. VPN Router Schematische Darstellung Einen VPN-Service direkt über den ASUS Router zu verwenden bietet die folgenden Vorteile: Alle Geräte (auch SmartTV, FireTV, AndroidTV, xBox usw) werden zuverlässig über VPN verbunden ohne Softwareinstallation. Die Firewall und die zusätzlichen Schutzfunktionen die im Router vorhanden sind lassen es zu, auch Kinder und Jugendliche vor Bedrohungen aus dem Internet zu schützen. (Malwareschutz, Sperren von Webseiten, Zugriff für bestimmte Apps auf Smartphones usw) Die gesamte Familie wird zuverlässig vor Abmahnungen und sonstigen Fallen im Internet geschützt, ohne dass dabei Software oder Apps auf den Geräten zusätzlich installiert werden müssen. Die Benutzer des Routers werden “Anonymisiert” und nutzen damit eine nicht direkt zuordenbare Internetadresse für alle täglichen Aktivitäten. Zuverlässiger Schutz aller Nutzer vor Überwachung und Vorratsdatenspeicherung und damit auch eine aktive Maßnahme für eine bessere Privatsphäre. Hilfe & Beratung
