Slappie 9 #1 December 9, 2002 [rant] Dropzone.com was added to my companies list of sites. I don't know if the actual site was added or something in the DZ.com meta-tags is triggering Websense. I only know of two skydivers on the plant. Me an one other and I'm positive she's not on DZ.com. I can still surf it. Just now it asks me if I want to "postpone" viewing till after work hours.. OR do I want to continue to the site for work related reasons. I decided I would continue for work related reasons. If I can't surf the forums I wont get any work done. Trying to find away around Websense.. LOL What a crocka shit!

AggieDave 6 #2 December 9, 2002 It was probably due to the fact that Google crawled the site, it registered stuff like "sheep, boobies, group sex" etc.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #3 December 9, 2002 They were probably looking at what had high hit-counts. A temp solution is to not use the URL, but use the IP address. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #4 December 9, 2002 I thought about that. More then anything I think it's meta-tags that flags the site. I just left an came back an this time I didn't get flagged. Now everytime I try an get to my personal website it's flagged. I'm pretty sure the company is logging webuse now too.. BLAH fucking NAZI BASTARDS! Ugh!

rhino 0 #5 December 9, 2002 o.k. Do you have a VPN into work? If so.. VPN into work.. Then Remote Desktop or Terminal Server into your box at home and circumvent websense.. Or use VNC.. You can allways get around websense.. Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #6 December 9, 2002 Man, it's nice working for my dad. All he said was, "could you please do work stuff before you go to that site"? Uh huh, sure Dad, I'll get right on that!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFFC 1 #7 December 10, 2002 Definately know the feeling. On the funny side though, websense blocked the companies own website because it was getting visited too much. Go figure...----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #8 December 10, 2002 I don't know what software they're using here, but a week ago everyone got an email stating that from monday on there will be "light content-filtering" in effect. Looks like they're not worried about people not working, but they do make sure that people waste the governments money only while keeping up high moral standards...

Zennie 0 #9 December 10, 2002 Yeah I got Websense'd again last week. Haven't heard anything from my boss and our secretaries surf like mad so I usually just throttle it back a tad. I like the VNC workaround though. We have a second NT domain specific to our group. I've half considered logging onto that domain for surfing, since I know we don't have Websense. Dunno if the HTTP requests are still handled by IT. Anyone know how to determine which machine handles HTTP requests? I'm assuming Websense is installed on the firewall machine. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #10 December 10, 2002 Hahaha.. I'm a websence admin for work and the database is keyed via IP/name and keyword in the url. Its a slick system... but its way full of holes. It only looks for HTTP requests on 2 ports on the firewall. 80 and 8080. If you can send requests out another port it will completly bypass the system. The Transparent authinication can be bypassed very easily if you have multiple domains since its default memory time is just huge for have fast you can swap between domains. And last I looked at the default database the WayBack Machine was not blocked totally so you can pull up old pages that way. The database is full of holes but if you need more specific bypass methods let me know. There are a few tricks that need very specific instructions to bypass. Proxies are a cheap and easy way to bypass the system and if google is unblocked the google archive is unblocked usually too by accident. Just look for Proxies over ant port other then 80 and 8080 Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
