On: We Give a F*** How the Site Loads

Another reason to use https (though I guess IT can install a cert for transparent MITM SSL proxying). Imagine a user whose TCP connection shuts down as soon as the 4 bytes 'fuck' pass it (say, only for port 80). This should happen randomly for high-entropy binary (e.g. compressed text/image) data - about 1 in 4 billion bytes. I guess it's not that likely except for extremely large files.

Not can. Will.

And home based filters do the same, or work at the browser level.

So https doesn't help at all.

I always wondered how many IT departments and filters actually bother to do this...

Search for SSL on this page: http://www.dsd.gov.au/infosec/top-mitigations/top35mitigatio...

I imagine DOD requirements are the same.
