In light of the 2600.org Websense Content Filtering bypass, and the recent bugtraq addition on surf-control I've created a simple little tool (with lots of bugs) that will do the math for you. That is convert the URL: "www.blockedsite.com" into a decimal number. I've tested this on Gauntlet Firewall 5.5 NT w/cyberpatrol and with Gauntlet Firewall 5.5 Solaris w/cyberpatrol and it works great I'm still waiting on NAI/PGP for a patch. Try it out .. let me know if the bypass method works for other filters. It doesn't work for WebSense Proxy Server. Usage: enter the Blocked URL in "URL:" field ..... no "http" or "/" just "host.domain.com" - Press Go ( This generates a Decimal IP address ) - Paste the address in your browser instead of the Blocked FQDN and go for it. * only works through a Winsock internet connection. Check out http://www.allredroster.com/iptodec.htm for a web version I came across. Later
