EFF Releases Reports and Software to Spot Interference with Internet Traffic
Technology Rights Group Addresses the Comcast Controversy
“San Francisco - In the wake of the detection and reporting of Comcast Corporation’s controversial interference with Internet traffic, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published a comprehensive account of Comcast’s packet-forging activities and has released software and documentation instructing Internet users on how to test for packet forgery or other forms of interference by their own ISPs.”
For “Packet Forgery by ISPs: A Report on the Comcast Affair”:

“One objectionable aspect of Comcast’s conduct is that they are spoofing packets — that is, impersonating parties to an exchange of data. Comcast is essentially deploying against their own customers techniques more typically used by malicious hackers.”
For “Detecting Packet Injection: A Guide to Packet Spoofing by ISPs”:

“Certain Internet service providers have begun to interfere with their users’ communications by injecting forged or spoofed packets - data that appears to come from the other end but was actually generated by an Internet service provider (ISP) in the middle.”
