Wow. Why didn’t I know you people existed before Jessica came and visited for the weekend? It sounds like SPC LaRue was right. $i *do* have a massive array of bots out there. For some value of $i.
Hey, would you folks help me get this hardware out? I keep stumbling on the fimrware I want to ship on it. I think probably I could base it on the flash that the nodes will call in to. They’re going to call home to a VPN endpoint when any of their four gig nics are attached to an L2 that feeds reasonable values to it over DHCP. I think I should probably have them all run their own instance of bind and open up an OpenVPN tun session with vpn.something.org. Right now I’m thinking about using openvpn0.44net-tunnel-endpoint.org as the end point, but I’d have to get permission to have all of the stations I send these tutu be put on the access control list. I figure I’ll do a cursory background check on QRZ. If the feds give them a license to make mischief, I suppose we can probably let them play on the playground.
