security expert on BanThisURL that goes into the flaws in the Aussie net
filtering scheme. In addition to SSH tunnels and proxies, more worrying
problems like trojaning the boxes to set up man in the middle attacks
(which the interviewee has done in his lab), cross site scripting and the
Australian blacklist leaking are all discussed. Worrying and relevant,
especially since Thailand’s blacklist has [4]just been leaked.”
