One of my first 5 visitors to this brand new website was in the following IP address range... Queried whois.arin.net with "144.51.73.255"... The WHOIS lookup returned these results... OrgName: National Computer Security Center OrgID: NCSC-3 Address: 9800 Savage Road City: Fort George G. Meade StateProv: MD PostalCode: Country: US NetRange: 144.51.0.0 - 144.51.255.255 CIDR: 144.51.0.0/16 NetName: NCSC NetHandle: NET-144-51-0-0-1 Parent: NET-144-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Assignment NameServer: ROMULUS.NCSC.MIL NameServer: ZOMBIE.NCSC.MIL NameServer: BARRIER.NCSC.MIL NameServer: GRIZZLY.NRL.NAVY.MIL Comment: RegDate: Updated: 1997-11-17 TechHandle: AMM32-ARIN TechName: McCool, Anna M. Nice to know that Big Brother is watching out over us and watching out for us all... But how can a publicly registered website be a threat to National Security? |

Yes. If they suspect a Terrorist is checking out that Site, then thats why they follow up on it. Otherwise, maybe the FEDS are Considering making a Legitimate Purchase from the Website....you never know.

Or it could be that someone at Fort Meade is using a computer from there and went to visit the site. |

I only submitted it to one of those el cheapo 100 site submitters. Either Ft.

Think about it, there is no other way for them to discover my site within 5 days of startup and registration. My guess is ICANN and NW Solutions just send the lists along to Ft. Meade as a courtesy or Ft. Meade gets their DNS Server updates from some source then puts the new ones on a to be spidered and to be scanned list. I still say this is probably a good thing, but it just creeps me out a little bit. Why worry about who sees something that is public? The real test would be to |

I am surprised that they can not cloak their IP addresses any better than that and that they in turn would have publicly viewable and traceable IP addresses registered with ICANN. If I can backtrace using primitive and publicly available tools like Server.RequestVariables think what the terrorists can do. |

The other thing that concerns me is that this Stacey, who runs a knitting and crocheting site, is so quick to jump to the defense of a Ft. Meade employee, thinking that they would actually have the audacity and temerity to (shudder) order something using a .MIL IP traceable site during company time from within the Ft. Meade confines. Nothing goes on from those sites except .MIL and .GOV business which Stacey just continues knitting and crocheting and turning out babies who in turn will be totally oblivious to their entire world as well most likely. |

Sad really when you think about it. So naive and someone hopelessly turned a human brain into a spewer of pablum. Knit one, purl two, is it? Or knit two, purl one, I forget? Makes me wanna puke. |
