Re: AS/400 on alt.hacker

Unfortunately there are methods which I won't reveal in public that
circumvent Antisniff and any other automated packet-sniffing detectors.

Hopefully Kia received the message and disabled that particular account.
Chuck has told me that he was able to get a sign-on screen as of late this
afternoon, yet I wasn't able to using 3 different ISP accounts. Perhaps Kia
is restricting access via IP ranges. The only thing in my mind that makes
this a security breach as that a UN and PW were supplied along with the
address and port. Then again, I'd also prefer a secure connection (https) vs
a non secure connection (http) to my AS/400 if I had to setup this method of
access for salesmen, etc.
