The internet that is subsidized by that same Government....

Bill,

It’s the INTERNET that is civilian, not the IP space. As long as that IP
space was isolated to the .mil network, it was private space, as far as the
Internet was concerned. Now DoD has moved it into the civilian Internet,
and I treat them as potentially malicious as I do any other organization
that lies, cheats, and steals the public trust.

You do understand that the addresses in question are not and have
never been "civilian." They came into DoD's possession when this was
all still a military project funded by what's now DARPA.

Personally, I think we may have an all time record for the largest
honeypot ever constructed. I'd love to be a fly on that wall.

Bill Herrin
