To the list of banned sites? It's not public. Apparently it's provided to ISP's and they're under some form of govt. NDA. No one has had the gonads to leak it thus far. The act that the ACMA is empowered by is the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 - http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/Legislation/ActCompilation1.nsf/0/901123C9D49C409BCA25755C0014FCC7/$file/BroadServ1992Vol1_WD02.pdf There's a bit of info @ http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_90102 _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
