“If your ISP has registered with the appropriate databases, our servers are updated on a regular basis so you will have to wait until the next refresh to gain access.”
Would you interpret that to mean they are using whois lookups on IP addresses/blocks to check its location for limiting content to certain contries?
So is it a test? No. It is something I have been pondering for a while. It never really gives me anything, it just provides me with something to-do, but it apparently could cause some illness. What I hear you say! Like all the other things that might cause illness? Well I don’t know if they do or don’t. Just that I have avoided one substance the past 80 or so hours. At the same time though I do miss it, it was my always with friend. (Now that just sounds a bit psyco, but some people might understand what I mean.) I am gonna see how long I can mange to go without.
If like me you like to pipe things around in the shell then when I looked at aircrack-ng I wanted to script using it. Therefore I wrote a simple patch for the current version that disables buffering to allow the stdout/err to act like they are writing to a log file so good for timely greping around in a bash script. Once I have my WEP scripts polished I will post them up. 
You can find the patch here.
I often work on many machines and end up with multiple sessions to each. Therefore I finally got around to checking out the ControlMaster and ControlPath configuration of ssh. I added the following to my ~/.ssh/config which is for a virtual machine I use on my laptop, so no network issues in play.
Host vm
Hostname 192.168.100.101
User dan
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath /Users/dan/.ssh/master-vm
Then in a terminal I ran the following, twice. Once on its own then with an ssh session running in another terminal.
for X in `seq 1 5`; do time ssh vm "pwd; uptime; hostname;" >/dev/null; done;
Without avg.: 0.268s
With avg.: 0.035s
I think that is quite impressive.
For the raw terminal output, please see here.
Update
Of course you can do this dynamically.
Host * ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p
Then each socket will be used only when the user, host and port are the same.
