ATS IP Address

Does anyone know the IP Address of ATS or how to go about getting it. In case the internet goes down or is partially blocked and you can only get on by using the IP address I thought it might be an idea if people could post the IP address of not only ATS but other favourite sites on one thread for other people to save on their pc in case of problems in the future.

No offence, but that is about the first question hackers ask...

on xp go to start> run> type: cmd > hit enter > in dosbox type: ping abovetopsecret.com > hit enter

Voila!

On mac open terminal > type: ping abovetopsecret.com > hit enter

when done hold ctrl-c to stop ping process

result: 75.126.76.151

I would have thought if you were a hacker you would know how to get an IP address.

Thanks I tried that and get the same. Does an IP address stay static or does it change every day.

Depends on the host/co-location of the ATS servers, but usually yes.

This is gonna sound dumb but what do you do with the IP after you get it? I entered it into my brower address window and it returned a blank screen.

There is a good chance that the IP address will not result in ATS being brought up due to many reasons ranging from the implementation of load balancing (multiple servers) or the web server configuration which may not respond to such requests but only named requests (ie www.abovetopsecret.com over 72.x.x.x) so chances are its not going to work, however if you are running MS Windows you can probably edit the hosts file in order to create a static mapping to the domain so in the event that DNS becomes unreliable/hijacked you could still get through, however I have yet to test this one myself.

Good question on the IP address - any sites that you go to, get the IP address - due to language about it.

By spring it will be the only way to navigate around the net, TPTB are finding the net is too dangerous for them - too much truth getting out. They are going to do what they can - I bet using a false flag event (not their fault) But it Will be their fault!

Work on IP's

Personally I would like to see Mr. SO put the IP address up in the top corner, so people can get it easily, once the shutdown type event happens - people will want to still be able to get here, and that way it has been available for those who want to put it on their computer ahead of time.

I found this thread also. Lots and lots of good information there: What if DNS goes down? (Info and IP List)

I found out what I was doing wrong. You have to type in:

75.126.76.151/forum/

into the address bar and it comes up fine.

IP Addresses are what all computers use to communicate. The friendly names you type in your browser are given to you by DNS servers -- Domain Name System servers. When you make a request of a web page, you computer will go to the primary DNS Server as listed in your computer's networking information and will ask for the IP Address for the host name in question. The DNS Server will return you the IP Address.

Once your computer has the IP Address, it will send it's request using the IP address and the host name in the request. The purpose for this is that some web servers may host several web sites on the same physical IP address. Including the host name allows the web server to pick the correct web site to show.

To accomodate navigtation with an unpublished or missing host record, you can alter your local host file. Each major OS has one and they are all slightly differant. I only know how to do it in windows:

Open the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc folder
Open notepad.exe from the start menu
From the etc folder, locate the Hosts file and drag it into notepad
Go to the bottom of the file and enter in the IP address and the name as shown below.

75.126.76.151 www.abovetopsecret.com


Save the file and you are done. The change is effective immediately.

Incidentally, this is also a great way to pull a practical joke on someone by redirecting all, say google traffic, to a differant web site, such as a porn site. Use caution when pulling this prank on someone, though, make you you stop the prank before they reformat their computer to get rid of the mystery virus.

Thanks for the tip!

My ISP's domain name server seems to go down about once or twice a year, for several hours. There are a couple of alternate domain name servers you can use when that happens, here's a link to some:www.dslreports.com...

But you need to record those somewhere BEFORE your DNS goes down, I couldn't even do a google search when the DNS went down to find those.

You can edit the DNS in your connection properties setting in windows. Then just use one of those numbers when your DNS goes down and you can keep on surfing. I noticed they are slower than my ISP's DNS so I switch back to that when they get the functionality restored.

Thanks, I didn't know the specifics of how to lock the IP to the URL name in the hosts file, but I'm not sure I want to do that unless I know the IP won't change.

In general they do not change and the reason is that it takes 2-3 days for the host name to propegate to all of the DNS servers, since they all operate on a distributed hive model. Major sites do not want to be down for 2-3 days. This does happen on occasion, but it is fairly rare.

Who.is

This will show you the IP, DNS, etc for most any website you want information on, and is free to use.

www.who.is t will give you site information. Keep in mind that the ownership information can easily falisified.

Server is in Plano

Commanche OK?

Look, it's clearly a joke.

Kinglizard posted this on April Fools Day here.

Laura Knight Jadczyk was upset because of this article and published the quote out of context on her site to support her theory that ATS is COINTELPRO.

Notice that she failed to quote the following from KL's post:


She also failed to inform her readers about the date it was posted - April 1st, 2004.

Shame on ConspiracyCafe and all the other sites who don't research their articles properly.
