Deep Web

[RamboNol]

First, is this the right thread or would it go somewhere else?
I am going to post this anyways and hope it is xD feel free to move it of course if it is in the incorrect area.

So I was just on youtube looking at alltime10s and discovered this thing called the deep web, which is like an underground secret internet I think? I decided to do a tiny bit of research when I saw this video and got curious. (research it if you are interesting its pretty cool :O)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMgqTWdk3tw Skip to around 9:00 to 10:05 for the specific question I'm asking if you are wondering where I got the idea from.

Would it be possible to use Tor or the Deep Web to access say a Minecraft server you are banned from? Hypothetically of course. Perhaps maybe if its only an IP ban or something?

If it was only an IP ban then yes. But no server does IP bans, they ban your username. We are special in that we ban both in-case a player has multiple accounts (which many do). However the IP ban is incredibly easy to circumvent by changing your routers MAC address on its WAN port to get a new IP from your internet service provider.

Fun fact, we already block all the exit nodes that TOR provides. This means trying to access our server via TOR will not work. We automatically block around 56,000 proxy servers and the list is completely erased and rebuilt every day by automated software.

If you're interested in seeing our Proxy Blocker software (which I wrote I might add!) you can download the source code here and check it out: http://www.mxpulse.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=194

Open it in Notepad to view the code

Wow very cool! Thanks! This deep web and security stuff really interests me xD
I plan on studying it for my career in school lol.

Well if you have any questions about it that you cant find out on your own study feel free to ask as I know quite a bit about it.
