Time and Maxis started to hijack dns query

axxer — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 11:35:05 +0800

Previously malaysian telcos already hijack dns query when we're using their default dns server, its no secret. When trying to access gov sanctioned sites like p0rn or sarawak today etc, instead of replying with correct dns record they'll route our query to mcmc block page. But now they've taken a step further by hijacking our query even when we're using either google dns or cloudflare dns.

I guess this is possible if we're only using the cleartext dns of both google dns and cloudflare dns ie

google dns:

CODE

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844

cloudflare dns:

CODE

1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
1.1.1.2
1.0.0.2
1.1.1.3
1.0.0.3
2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001
2606:4700:4700::1112
2606:4700:4700::1002
2606:4700:4700::1113
2606:4700:4700::1003

Haven't tested myself but I'm 100% sure the

CODE

8.8.8.8

and

CODE

1.1.1.1

are hijacked since both are the popular dns ip for google dns and cloudflare dns. Others on the list might be hijacked too depending on telco network admins.

But basically people, its high time we should stop using cleartext dns. Its unsecured and hijackable. Start using encrypted dns everywhere.

Theres plenty of them listed here. You'd want to use either the dns-over-https aka doh or dns-over-tls aka dot.

Modern system already support using those encrypted dns protocol ie android natively via setting. Should be listed as

CODE

Private DNS

in phone setting. You should add a dns-over-tls server here, omit the

CODE

tls://

from uri if you copy paste from the list above.

Ios and mac is native too via dns profile. If prefer app can use dnsecure.

Linux can natively too if install any local forwarding dns server like bind9 or dnsmasq. If prefer gui, theres technitium dns server and adguardhome.

Windows can use yoga dns server.

Ty for attending my ted talk lmao.

Anyone can help to check number under my name?

axxer — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 19:31:43 +0800

as per title, anyone can help to check if got hotlink number under my name and if its still active or not?
2011 i registered one hotlink hyc but the simcard is gone now. i already forgot the number itself.
if i'm not mistaken old hyc will stay active for four years from date registered no matter reload or not.
already asked maxis online forum, they said need to go to maxis center ask there.

that really is troublesome. nearest maxis center is 20km away, 30minutes drive to get there.
for the sake of making my life easier i thought i can give them my full name and ic and after they verify if number under my name is still active then i can walk in to their center, knowing for sure i can request for simcard replacement.

so anyone working for maxis can help? or got other way to check without me driving 20km?

Stucked with "1 Replies to me"

axxer — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:46:35 +0800

i think i found a bug in the reply/quote notification thingy.

my situation is that i've posted in a thread, someone quoted my post, i got the notifiction but havent click it, the thread had since got deleted but i still got the notification "1 Replies to me". clicking it just bring me error page of "Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information." and below it "Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again." but the notification that i got one reply is still there. tried to logout and relogin few time already but its still there.

Free-iSMS v1.11 final

axxer — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 01:54:26 +0800

u guys miss a lot if dont use this on ur symbian phones
bring features of threaded sms like iphone/android. also got many other features like kinetic scrolling, fake sms, fake sms notifies, import/export sms, private inbox etc.. also got many beautiful theme. forget that crappy native sms client on ur phone, use this instead

i've use this since v1.02 and now its updated to v1.11.
its a freeware.. when u first run it, it will prompt to register. just register by inserting email and password (and if u paranoid, dont want to give ur email for someone to spam it, just register using fake email address, it'll work).
and its dev signed, no need to sign/hack ur phone. just download, transfer to ur phone, install, register and use.
