I'm assuming that no one is adept in reading these types of files.

Skeptic? I'm sure you have some input on this.


Mr. M

I downloaded all the files on their FTP server, which were accesible (using the guest login)... I have not read all of them, some of them talk about dates and times for shuttle launches. Nothing really that interesting...

I deleted all the files though... Because as soon as I downloaded the files, my firewall kept reporting of DoS attacks, and the IP address the 'supposed' DoS attacks were coming from, were the same as the FTPs server. Probably nothing... But got a bit panicy, lol - even though I didn't do anything illegal.

That's pretty interesting, MetalHead. I wonder why this folder is readily accessable to the public, but then when files are downloaded, action is taken.


Mr. M

I regularly use some of the NASA ftp sites at work. Even though I have permission to be there, I think it's all public anyway. It's funded with public money, and all the data it generates is public. Nasa has shedloads of online data on the various websites.

They have loads of different FTP sites, and I've never been to this exact one before. I see lots of PDF files, and PS printfiles, lots of graphics, some powerpoint presentations. This looks like an area they use to exchange data.

There is one file in the mail directory that has the email addresses of hundreds of scientists round the world. Bizzare that this should all be public.

My firewall reports nothing.

OK, I see it won't let me link the image here. But check it out in the resource file - name "globalmap" (it's a PDF).

It is actually pretty interesting, I thought I saw a special once that showed this same sort of map with the same exact locations pin pointed and they were listings of all known IAEA reported nuclear weapons. Dont quote me though cause Im not to sure... but im sure they have a map online somwhere that you could match up against this one.

Go to Resources the find file for world_clean this is definately some neat stuff Nasa is watching but what and for who. I can definately say these are not cell sites because I used to do cell/analog tower aquasitions and this is basiclly clustering certain areas which I know have much more and less in some areas. Especially in the South West and East Texas areas which are not shown on here.

Please read the file README
