Site is gone, along with the rest of asbokid's blogs. Anyone know what happened? Was an absolute trove of useful information, shame it's no longer online.

Hello fishandchips, Welcome to the Kitz forum. 

As for your query -- No, sorry, I have no idea. 

[Starman]

huaweihg612hacking.wordpress.com is no longer available.

The authors have deleted this site.

I guess that's our answer

You can still view the website using archive sites such as the Wayback machine

Perhaps back up/duplicate any information you want to keep for reference purposes etc..

[Chrysalis]

he killed his email address also, shame.

Important to back this up yourself in case there is some kind of legal issue at the root of this whole thing and the men in suits present a legal challenge to the WayBack Machine to try and order them to rewrite history by deleting copies of the site.

Well I wondered who exactly 'Asbo' was.
Another character that arrived and suddenly disappeared was 'Pedro' to seemed to have a lot to say about ASSIA and BT.
Both seemed to know rather a lot about a lot of things - rather too much to be honest to be just another individual with a technical/computing background.
I suspected they were industry insiders.

I did sort of half think that Pedro and Asbo might be the same entity.
I did also suspect that these characters were companies or organisations posting out a message rather than interested individuals.
That would explain the ability to have such an in depth knowledge, access to tech' information not in the public domain, access to paid for journals, and patent papers and resources to reverse engineer stuff.

My own personal viewpoint and thoughts (which may or may not be correct) were:
That this might have been one of the competing non BT-line type ISP's.  They would have an incentive to spike BT's attempts at hiding FTTC line stats from view.
The other interesting possibility that occurred to me right at the beginning was that it might have been Huaweii themselves giving out info on the side about accessing its modems that BT has ordered it to lock down for its own use.

I think Asbo is just an individual who believes in Free and Open-source software (FOSS)

No that isnt the case.
He is an individual with his own thoughts and beliefs.

c6em ............Asbo and Pedro were indeed the same man. As for the rest, nope.

He he, I can understand why you'd think that.

If I had the time available that I used to have 25 years ago, I'd have been hacking away at those things too, and know a few guys that'd have been doing the same.

Any industry insideness would have been incidental. The incentive to play would have come from the same place that created Linux, and a desire for a better computing & networking environment. In fact, that is what we got up to in the nineties, but from a lower starting point!
