BGP and the Rule of Custom (34x46)

: 27, 2017

Speaker: Caleb James DeLisle How the internet self-governs without international law. When bad actors can simply move servers from country to country, why does the internet remain reasonably civil ? How does one get on, or get kicked off, of the internet ? Why do fraud and child abuse websites regularly get shut down but thepiratebay remains living ? I will explain BGP, the protocol that knits the internet together, also covering the world of last resort hosting, bulletproof hosting and high profile cases of servers that were taken offline and servers which could not be taken offline despite significant effort.
