simple way to access websites that seem to be censored

fortunately, i find myself living in a country that appears to accept freedom of speech, freedom of data. while i´m quite aware that this ideology is not to be supported in future concepts to keep masses controlled i find every citizen should try to gain knowledge in bypassing common web censoring methods. how do you think about that? i find this very interesting and simultaneously hope that the information in the web remains free.

bypass ip locks

if you happen to sit behind an ip barrier that i.e. stops wikileaks you might bypass it in ways (free of charge) like these

  • use translate.google.com and open the page that is censored, if google is not cooperating with the bad guys ;)
  • use compressor services like loband if you can live with the html only version
  • use proxies –> ixquick allows you to use a search result in proxy manner
    • use ixquick search engine and search for the censored page
    • click “proxy” behind the url of interest, then ixquick will serve as proxy

simple thing to do and it does not cost anything. of course you could set up tor to communicate privately (hence making ip resolving useless).

another approach would be to ask a service like web2mail to compress the website you want to see and let them send it to your email box. then you see the requested page after unpacking the file you received. clicking a link would result in asking web2mail for the target and another email.

All these ways were told during a talk at this year´s sigint that you can watch at media.ccc.de

slept well?

recently i reactived my smartphone from it´s oblivion and hence all the mobile activities were a bit cutoff during the last weeks. let me say months, but that was not only the issue with the smartphone. damn cell battery is becoming weak a half year after purchase.

i thought about the virtual effigy most people produce. fortunately, my activites mostly stay controlled and no excessive drinking bout became evident (afaik) in the network (right now). don´t know if that is the main aspect of data security but the trail we leave in the sand is quite persistent. wow, i just wanted to write down that my blog is underpopulated which is a pity, and i end up contemplating about the virtual identity issue.

give me a few posts to habituate myself to blogging. nevertheless, i´m cool with 1-to-n communication (where n includes you, whether you´re bot or human). leaving us defining when an entitity will be able to extract the semiotic meaning of itself, i´d rather go now and have some real life – beginning with a tasty shisha.

and i hope my smartphone will at least stand by for the next few hours, calling that a “milestone”.

It´s about time to put you three more techno emeralds into the browser. you decide whether you click (take the colored pill) or whether you leave (because you´re not 18 or older).

15 ways to point out TYPO3 is your drug

Posted on by

  1. You mostly guess whether a page you surf on was made using TYPO3, and you always check, what year is stated in the header comment
  2. You leave the “admin” account active on your systems, but remove all privileges and set the password to something like “hackme&bugoff!”
  3. You have at least one system on which the sys_template´s uid went over 250
  4. You have subscribed to more than 50% of the newsgroups on lists.typo3.org
  5. Your conditional sentences have virtual squared brackets around it
  6. You try to convince your customer to make use of even the table content element
  7. You usually sleep tight on your TYPO3 pillow
  8. Your vision is #69A550 and #FF8700
  9. You categorically do not apply with a company that misspells TYPO3
  10. You try to solve real world problems with TypoScript
  11. You have or at least have had once an account password set to “joh316″
  12. You wave aside the giggly idea of writing an own TYPO3-like cms from scratch
  13. You clear all the cache, if you come to the conclusion your servers idle too much (not at peak times, of course)
  14. You smile when it comes to stdWrap
  15. You always have the extension kickstarter installed, just for the case

i´d like to you read your drug test cases – no blood, no hair, no police :-)

IPv6 addrconf: prefix with wrong length

after i got up my ubuntu server i checked the syslog where the kernel kept griping about the following.

IPv6 addrconf: prefix with wrong length 48

To keep the syslog clean i searched for a way to suppress that message. it´s simple.

In /etc/sysctl.conf i add two lines

net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf = 0

There you go.

new database with user in mysql console

this will create a new database on the server with the new user having all rights granted on that db.


CREATE USER 'uname'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED  BY 'pass';

GRANT  USAGE ON *.* TO 'uname'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED  BY 'pass' WITH  MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0  MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR  0  MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR  0  MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS  0 ;

CREATE  DATABASE  IF  NOT  EXISTS 'uname' ;

GRANT  ALL  PRIVILEGES  ON 'uname'.*  TO 'uname'@'localhost';

if there´s a problem when creating the database,  do not use the ‘ ‘ signs around the db name.

just to avoid phpmyadmin for this little task ;) i didn´t like to look that up everytime.
