IP Block Lists Myths Misconceptions
Written by Moore Table of contents IP Block Lists Myths Misconceptions Myths and Urban Legends Blocklists give 100% protection Companies regularly change IP's Blocklists block billions of innocent people Blocklists put you at greater risk Block lists achieve absolutely nothing Bust The Myths Over the years we have heard all kinds of false and incorrect information posted around the net regarding the use of blocklists as a unreliable form of protection against a wide range of internet based threats. This has led to the development of common misconceptions about the blocklists among many users. Some of this false information may be part of a deliberate campaign to discredit the blocklists and their maintainers, or an attempt to trick people into lowering their defences by convincing people they are either more at risk or wasting their time. While in some cases the false information has been outright fabricated lies intended to do damage, it also seems that a lack of technical knowledge mixed with extremely poor research simply results in bad and incorrect information being spread with no attempt to seek out the actual facts. Often you'll see different kinds of insults on discussion forums from people who just want to ridicule other p2p users that are discussing the use of a blocklist.
