There have been some reports that Sprint and Cogent are having a bit of a problem.
Seems they are in a tiff about the peering agreement. Sprint has since removed their peering from Cogent.
This basically means, traffic to/from sprint and cogent need to find a different way to route between them. This effects anyone down stream as well. Meaning, if you have a internet link from Sprint, and try to get to someone on Cogent's network - you may not be able too.
This would all hinge on whether or not they have peering agreements with others that allow them to route the other networks - which may not exist since they already had peering.
This is gonna cause some internet instability for some users.

(Sorry for the unlinkable links - seems something is messed up with my Beta Browsers - Teach me to run only beta browsers)
** UPDATE 11/3/08 11:00AM **
It seems Sprint was disconnecting Cogent from it's network back in early October. The finally cuts only happened on the 31st. This will get interesting to see what happens next.
Sprint's response to the disconnect: https://www.sprint.net/cogent.php
On a good note - it appears as tho the link was brought back up in the last 24 hours.

So I have a need for a encrypted disk - as a loop back file. I wrote earlier on how to restore a partimage backup to loopback, so lets see if we can make this work.
- We need to tell the kernal how to encrypt disks with a module
- Create the loop file (like before, but with urandom to help hide the disk, the count is MB*1000 so in this case 1M)
- Create the loopback device (I'm going to use TwoFish)
- At this point, you will be asked for a password - create your own
- Create the file system of choice (ext3 for me)
- Mount the new loop back point /dev/loop0
Enjoy!

I envite you to watch the live broad casts, and the recordings.

I can't believe it. Someone is actually wardriving around my neighborhood!
Arg - A My wife just informed me that this guy has been out side our house across the street for the past 3 days at the same time. This time, she noticed that he's on his laptop. I know there are about 6 APs here. 4 Of them are mine ;) I have two secured networks, one to my internal network, and a second directly connected to the internet - for testing. I have 2 more, one is a public wifi AP that hasn't been up in a while. And my fourth, I was playing with trying to setup a mesh network.
He wasn't on any of those.
I know that across the street there is a AP, I don't know anything about it though. And I've scene one other secured.
I'm going to grab some gear from work to track down the unknown unsecured wireless AP and get that secured - that way, I can control what this guy connects too. I'll take down my public AP for maintenance ;) Then, I'll setup my spare to my direct internet connection and leave it open for him. Of course, I'm not THAT nice - I'll ensure to log all traffic to see what I can see and if I'm around when he is, see if I can snag some details ;)
I'll be nice and post a sign on my window identifying that connecting to any public AP on my network is subject to my packet inspection and some other legalize. Not my fault he didn't take the time to read my AUP ;)
I'll post any updates later.
