URDead2 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have to enable Tor in Firefox to get to the website or I get 404, though interestingly the favicon loads. Just now to get to the forum I clicked on the activation link and that worked, so I'm in the forum without going through Tor, but if I click on the HOME link, it's still 404. Do you think this is my isp blocking access or could there be some other cause? Here's a tracert in case that has any info that could help you figure this out: TraceRoute - Saturday, January 31, 2009 02:43:00 Generated by CyberKit Version 2.5 Copyright © 1996-2000 by Luc Neijens Address: www.hak5.org Number of Packets: 1 Packet size: 64 Trace Hop 1 through 99 Timeout: 5 Resolve Addresses: Yes Don't Fragment: No #1 No response (): , ttl=, ms #2 ds1-nae.rofi1-nae.fullrate.dk (90.184.228.1): TTL Exceeded, ttl=63, 31 ms #3 v210-cosw1-hoer.fullrate.dk (90.185.5.177): TTL Exceeded, ttl=62, 47 ms #4 te1-4.ccr01.cph01.atlas.cogentco.com (149.6.136.29): TTL Exceeded, ttl=252, 31 ms #5 te2-3.ccr01.ham01.atlas.cogentco.com (130.117.2.149): TTL Exceeded, ttl=251, 31 ms #6 te3-1.ccr01.dus01.atlas.cogentco.com (130.117.3.69): TTL Exceeded, ttl=250, 47 ms #7 te4-2.ccr01.fra03.atlas.cogentco.com (130.117.0.158): TTL Exceeded, ttl=249, 47 ms #8 No response (): , ttl=, ms #9 verio.fra03.atlas.cogentco.com (130.117.14.130): TTL Exceeded, ttl=246, 63 ms #10 xe-1-0-0.r21.frnkge03.de.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.2.149): TTL Exceeded, ttl=246, 63 ms #11 p64-2-2-0.r23.amstnl02.nl.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.3.49): TTL Exceeded, ttl=247, 63 ms #12 as-0.r21.asbnva01.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.2.158): TTL Exceeded, ttl=237, 172 ms #13 ae-3.r20.asbnva02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.2.129): TTL Exceeded, ttl=237, 140 ms #14 as-1.r20.dllstx09.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.3.42): TTL Exceeded, ttl=242, 234 ms #15 po-2.r03.dllstx09.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.4.38): TTL Exceeded, ttl=241, 204 ms #16 te2-1.cer02.dal01.dallas-datacenter.com (157.238.224.70): TTL Exceeded, ttl=238, 187 ms #17 po2.dar01.dal01.dallas-datacenter.com (66.228.118.205): TTL Exceeded, ttl=239, 203 ms #18 po2.fcr01.dal01.dallas-datacenter.com (66.228.118.158): TTL Exceeded, ttl=238, 188 ms #19 75.126.127.87-web02.divergentnetworks.com (75.126.127.87): Echo Reply, ttl=46, 188 ms Statistics: Out 19, in 17, loss 10%, times (min/avg/max) 31/114/234 ms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URDead2 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just tried going through another proxy in Germany and I have no trouble accessing the site, so I don't think it's anything my ISP is doing. Could it be that hak5 has blocked my IP range (90.184.0.0/15) from access to the site? That would be strange, since forum access isn't blocked.

digip Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Maybe its a DNS cache issue with your ISP?? I think the main site and the forums resolve from different IP addresses. Actually just checked and they use the same IP address... Anyway, going through a proxy of any kind means you are bypassing your ISP's DNS and servers with the proxy pulling down the site for you, so if your ISP does not block the proxy you use, then you should be able to reach any site so long as the proxy itself does not filter it out.

I think they have my ip address blocked in their firewall at the server at divergentnetworks.com I wonder if anyone else is blocked? Of course I can go through a proxy, it's just slower. nslookup on my isp's dns shows the hak5 ip correctly: NSLookUp - Saturday, January 31, 2009 13:32:21 Generated by CyberKit Version 2.5 Copyright © 1996-2000 by Luc Neijens Name Server: 89.150.129.4 Query: hak5.org Type of Search: ALL - All records Protocol: UDP Verbose: Yes Recursion Desired: Yes Header: ID=17350, QR=Response, Opcode=QUERY, RCODE=NO ERROR Authoritative Answer=No, Truncation=No Recursion Desired=Yes, Recursion Available=Yes QDCOUNT=1, ANCOUNT=3, NSCOUNT=2, ARCOUNT=2 Question: Name=hak5.org, QTYPE=ALL, QCLASS=1 Answer Section: - Name=hak5.org Type=A, Class=1, TTL=11491 (3 Hours 11 Minutes 31 Seconds), RDLENGTH=4 IP Address=75.126.127.87 - Name=hak5.org Type=NS, Class=1, TTL=25843 (7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=27 Name Server=ns2.divergentnetworks.com - Name=hak5.org Type=NS, Class=1, TTL=25843 (7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=6 Name Server=ns1.divergentnetworks.com Authority Records Section: - Name=hak5.org Type=NS, Class=1, TTL=25843 (7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=2 Name Server=ns2.divergentnetworks.com - Name=hak5.org Type=NS, Class=1, TTL=25843 (7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=2 Name Server=ns1.divergentnetworks.com Additional Records Section: - Name=ns1.divergentnetworks.com Type=A, Class=1, TTL=112243 (1 Day 7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=4 IP Address=74.86.213.26 - Name=ns2.divergentnetworks.com Type=A, Class=1, TTL=112243 (1 Day 7 Hours 10 Minutes 43 Seconds), RDLENGTH=4 IP Address=75.126.127.64 --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 They might be blocking certain IP ranges if someone from within that range did something to warrant the block. Ask Matt or Darren directly to check their .htaccess for anything stating with 90.184. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
