Pud says RealNames is now blocking access to his site. I guess
f---edcompany isn't an Internet keyword? What's interesting is all the
clever ways people have devised to get to the site without their
employers noticing.

Among the tried-and-true techniques are proxying and using variants in
the namespace of URLs. (The second one is particularly ironic given the
latest company doing the blocking is RealNames... :)

On Proxies, part 1:
> Try the following:
> www.anonymizer.com
> www.noproxy.com
> www.mirror.com
> www.dummyproxy.com

On Redirection:
> I think you mean a "re-director", something like, within your web page:
>
> <BODY onLoad='window.location="http:\\www.fuckedcompany.com"'>
>
> But they could still block this URL at their public gateway. So use
> FC's dotted IP address. Of course, they could block that. This cat &
> mouse game can go on a long time.

On other names in URL space:
> http://www.f---edcompany.com
> http://216.150.6.70
> http://3633710662
> http://7928677958
> http://0xD8.0x96.0x06.0x46
> http://0xD8960646
> http://0x9A3F0800D8960646
> http://0330.0x96.0x06.0x46
> http://www.playboy.com@0x9A3F0800D8960646
> http://www.cnn.com%400x9A3F0800D8960646
> http://www.%66%75%63%6B%65%64company.com/
> http://0330.0226.06.010

On Proxies, part 2:
> oh, there's no shortage of generic proxy-like tools out there. here's one:

> http://crit.org/http://www.fuckedcompany.com/

> (doesn't work if they're blocking anything with "fucked" in the URL, though...)

On deriving from first principles:
> go home and get the ip using ping:
> 1. #ping www.fuckedcompany.com
> Ping fuckedcompany.com [216.150.6.70] with 32 bytes of data:
> 2. 216 = 11011000
> 150 = 10010110
> 6 = 00000110 (did that one in my head!)
> 70 = 01000110
> 3. 11011000 10010110 00000110 01000110
> = 3633710662

Apparently the web community still routes around anything they consider
damage. Tough crowd.
