In normal people talk, someone who runs another site who has serious geeks on the payroll can hack into 100s or 1000s of computers and use those computers to all visit one site at the exact same time, tying up resources on the site, chewing up bandwidth, slowing it down and sometimes costing the site owner a pretty penny to defend the site along with a spike in bandwidth costs. In a nutshell, it’s a pretty shitty thing to do.

I’m not going to go into my personal thoughts on this because to put blank, you don’t have the time to read everything I have to say about it. So I’m just going to give you some info I copied from a news site that is watching what is going on. Warning: geek talk!

New-age cyber-attack inflicts major damage with modest means

Ladyboydolls.com and the new DDoS

By Dan Goodin in San Francisco

Posted in Security, 10th February 2009 05:07 GMT

A sustained cyber-attack against a handful of niche pornography sites has demonstrated a novel way to inflict major damage on hardened targets using a modest amount of data, a security researcher has warned.

The technique – which tricks the net’s authoritative name servers into bombarding innocent victims with more data than they can handle – is growing increasingly common, and it’s likely only a matter of time before commercial attack kits add it to their arsenal, said Don Jackson, a researcher with Atlanta-based security provider SecureWorks. He also warned there is no easy fix because any remedy will potentially require settings for millions of DNS, or domain-name system, servers to be individually changed.

The ongoing attacks on several sites related to transvestite porn work by sending hundreds of thousands of domain name servers a steady stream of packets that contain little more than the character “.” The queries, which are forged so they appear to have been sent from sites such as ladyboydolls.com and triplexbonanza.com, prompt the DNS servers to respond to the targets with a list of the internet’s root servers, responses that contain about eight times more data than the initial request.

“The amplifiers in this attack are name servers configured to what is considered best practices,” Jackson told The Register. Preventing the attack will require administrators to make changes to the software running each vulnerable DNS server on the internet, he added.

The attacks began in mid January and have used some 750,000 DNS servers to spew about 5Gbps worth of junk response packets at one victim alone, said Phil Rosenthal, CTO of ISPrime, an internet provider for one of the sites being attacked. Not bad work for a botnet that Jackson estimates is made up of fewer than 2,000 infected machines. The company has since been able to mitigate the attack using a variety of methods.

Representatives from NationalNet, which provides internet service to ladyboydolls.com, declined to comment. Attempts to reach representatives from the targeted porn sites were not successful.

The amplification technique exploits an artifact in the net’s DNS from the days when it was considered harmless for a name server to respond to misdirected name queries with the name of a more appropriate server to make the request. Read together, RFCs 1034, 1035 and 1912 call for name servers that are queried for the location of the root servers to honor the request, Jackson and others say.

“There’s really no reason to tell the requester that information,” said Randal Vaughn, a professor of information systems at Baylor University and an expert in DNS amplification. “The problem is more related to the fact that at one time DNS servers would need to ask each other for help. When name servers started out, there were assumptions made that requests are legitimate, so we’ll answer them.”

A Matter of Time

The attacks being tracked by Jackson have been accompanied by more traditional distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks generated by botnets. They bear the hallmarks of a commercial DDoS application known as BlackEnergy (PDF), leading Jackson to believe it’s only a matter of time before the technique gets folded into the package.

What’s more, an increasing number of sites over the past couple weeks have been subjected to the attack. For now, they tend to be underground operations such as those cranking out pharmaceutical spam, but Jackson expects that to change.

“When the bot writers integrate this and use it as a value add, then we’ll see it in the mainstream,” he said.

The only way to prevent the attack is for DNS administrators to ensure their servers are configured to answer upward referrals only to authorized zones within their domain. While some DNS software, such as DJBDNS, does this by default, plenty of other other programs don’t. Various versions of BIND, by far the most widely used DNS program, by default return queries for the root servers. (Instructions for changing this behavior in BIND are available here).

DNS software from Microsoft and others can also be used by attackers as DNS amplifiers out of the box, Jackson says. (Readers who know how to change this default behavior for other packages are invited to leave a comment or contact me using this link).

Another possible fix, ISPrime’s Rosenthal said, is using firewalls built into FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows. But Jackson says this solution is far from ideal. That’s because it would require the blacklisting of hundreds of thousands of legitimate DNS servers. Instead, Jackson is leaning toward the use of special signatures based on the open-source intrusion prevention system known as Snort.

But even some of the more feasible remedies may create problems, warns Baylor University’s Vaughn, who says the sudden squelching of DNS responses to the queries could create collateral damage as the requests are repeated over and over.

“Everything we do has a cost, and unfortunately, this is one of those things where there might be some debate about what to do,” he said. “There’s going to have to be by protocol some sort of response.”

Really, the first?

I suppose it had to start somewhere so it may as well be with this one. Truth be told, she’s very pretty and I’d probably short time her if I saw her trolling outside of Nana Plaza.

I found this story floating around online and that person found it in a book so I’m going to credit them both and go about my day.

I found the story here: http://www.thai-blogs.com/index.php/2007/08/21/thailand_s_1st_real_ladyboy_2?blog=8

It’s a long fucking read so I hope you really, really, really want to know about Thailand’s first ladyboy if you’re going to read all of this.

And here we go…

Former actress Jim Sara claims that she was not only Thailand’s very first transsexual to be officially recognized as ‘Miss’, but also the first to have full sex-operation surgery. For the first time in English, here is her story on how she became Thailand’s first ‘real’ ladyboy.

A native of Nakhorn Sawan province, Miss Jim first hit the limelight in her teens when she acted in a series of films – each one playing the part of an actual women. According to the film crew and fans, Jim was so cute in those days, that everyone mistook her for a Tom-boy! And even after she gave up performing for the cameras and took up the normal working life, people around her still believed she was just a girl disguised as a boy. Jim relates the story of the time she was employed at a fancy hotel. One day, on being approached by one the hotel bosses she was taken aside and informed that it was against staff policy to hire Tom-boys. She was instructed that from that day onwards, unless she went back to dressing as she should – as a proper female – she would be fired!

Fed-up with the miserly pay of hotel work, Jim changed direction and got herself a job as a well-paid tour guide. She admits that she had a great time with her new chosen career and managed to save plenty of cash. So much in fact, that she was able to establish her own bar – aimed at gays. Her bar was soon a hit with the local and expat ‘pink’ communities, especially when she thought the idea up of secretly showing gay sex movies. Not for long though, her bar was busted by the police; Jim was arrested, her bar shut down and she lost all her money.

Devastated at such bad luck, Jim packed her suitcase and headed for London at the advice of an English friend she had met while working as a guide. Wanting to travel as a ‘woman’, Jim decided to travel on her sister’s passport and left her ‘male’ one at home. Not long after, Jim secured herself work in a Thai restaurant and she was back to earning decent cash.

By chance, while flicking through a copy of a local newspaper, Jim came across an advertisement from a London hospital looking for sex-operation ‘case study’ applicants. It was 1976 and Jim was just 23 years old. Jim jumped at the opportunity of a free sex-operation as no such thing was available in Thailand in those days. Mind you, Jim wasn’t the only one to apply for such a great opportunity and on the day of application she was surprised to meet another 100 or so transsexual hopefuls. She was the only Thai and one of just three Asians.

Jim managed to pass the first stage of application and the amount of applicants was cut to 40. For the next couple of months, Jim had to attend a series of daily interviews and tests, most of them psychological and underwent hormone treatment– she was fortunate that her place of work wasn’t too far down the road. Finally, the doctors made their ‘case study’ list be known and when Jim heard her name being called out as one of the chosen 7, she broke down in tears. Later, on asking one of the doctors why she had been one of the lucky ones, she was informed that she was the most ‘lady-like’ of all the hopefuls, both mentally and physically. Jim’s operation was classified as ‘full-option’ and it was to take a total of 14 hours. In the meantime, Jim took 7 days leave from work and told no-one.

After the operation, Jim admits that she was in a lot of pain and it was a few days before the bandages came off and she could finally see her new self in the mirror. She was thrilled at what she had become – her dream had come true.

When Jim’s visa was coming to an end, she decided that she had had enough of London and headed back for home. With the sex-operation complete, Jim thought it best to disclose the details to her family for the very first time – at the airport where they were waiting. Only having known Jim as a cross-dresser before, they were absolutely shocked to see their brother walking through arrivals with a big pair of breasts. Jim’s father never did get over such a surprise and didn’t talk to her for years after.

After Jim Sara had been the first Thai to ever undergo a complete sex-change operation (London’s Kensington Hospital, 1976) she came back to Thailand to start her new life as a woman. Unfortunately though, the Thai law (as it still does today) disallows transsexuals to use the title ‘Nang Sao’ (Miss). Jim feeling really hurt inside, admits that even though she was fitted out in female sexual organs, she didn’t feel like an actual woman.

Fed-up with Thailand’s anti-transsexual diplomatic way of thinking, Jim packed her bags again and this time flew to Melbourne, Australia to start up a Thai restaurant – going into business with her Thai boyfriend of then. Jim stayed there for a total of 5 years, but after her and her boyfriend split up, the restaurant business went to tatters and she got on the airplane home. She next flew on to Switzerland – and as she has traveled to England before, she falsely used her sister’s passport.

Again, in the restaurant business, Jim decided that she really loved Switzerland and wanted to apply for permanent residency. Certainly not too easy though, especially when she was carrying fake identification. But anyway, Jim, through a friend of hers, met a Swiss guy who was willing to marry her if she paid him 500,000 baht. She did and the marriage was signed. Within just a few days though, she was dumbstruck to hear that the Swiss law on automatic residency for married aliens had changed – and her dream of residency wasn’t gonna happen that easy.

Jim waited years before she was applicable for permanent residency and when her time was ready, her ‘husband’ turned around and refused to sign any papers of guarantee unless she paid him a stack of money. Giving into his greed, she paid but once again he demanded more cash. This time she refused and he simply disappeared of the scene. Sadly, Jim never did get her permanent residency for Switzerland.

A couple more years went by and suddenly one day, her ‘husband’ came back and said “Unless you give me the sum of 600,000baht, I’m gonna tell the authorities that I was bluffed into marrying a ladyboy who deceived me with her sister’s passport”. Taking the threat seriously, Jim decided to the right thing and go back to Thailand.

Once safely back in her home country with plenty of savings in her bank account, Jim opened up Thailand’s very first ‘Gay and Transgender’ hotel in Pattaya. It was during her time there that she met her future husband Mr Nop – a successful businessman and former actor. But, with the 1997 Asian Financial Disaster, Jim’s hotel business collapsed and on top of that – lost 28 million baht in currency exchange.

With some money leftover though, Jim came back to Bangkok and opened a Gay Club in Saphan Kwai district. Jim and Nop’s love grew stronger and in 1998, they were the first ever transsexual-straight couple to get married in Thailand. The marriage ceremony, the first of its kind, was heavily publicized and the couple were a household name overnight. What made the story even more amazing, was that Jim’s husband was 21 years her junior! A ceremony it only was though and the couple, as is stated by the law, were unable to have the marriage officially documented.

When being asked what first made her fall in love with Nop, Jim said “He was like no other man I knew; he didn’t smoke, drink, gamble, play around or even go out at night. He was the politest and gentlest guy I had ever known”. So, how did Nop feel about getting publicly married to a transsexual ladyboy, 21 years older than himself? “I didn’t care, love is love and if two people love each other then why should you care about what other people think. Love is in the heart. Until this day, when I walk around in public with my wife, I don’t feel embarrassed – I feel very proud.”. Nop went on to mention that he had had the continued support of his family and friends.

That year, Jim sold off her gay club and moved to New Zealand with her new real husband to start a new life – this time traveling on her original ‘Mr’ passport. On being stopped at immigration, it was only after an interview with the officials on duty that Jim was allowed entry (Jim was later to be refused entry to China because of her male passport and female breasts).

Jim and Nop established a Thai-sweet business in New Zealand – the first of its kind and again Jim was making attractive earnings. In 1999, Jim began to apply for permanent residency. After two years, she got it. As is allowed by New Zealand law, her next step was to legally marry Nop. Jim had to undergo three medical examinations and take her case to three different courts. But somehow along the lines, the authorities manage to find out that she had once completely broken the law by illegally marrying in Switzerland. Back to square one for Jim and it took it her until 2006 before she was finally permitted to legally marry Nop – the first Thai transsexual-straight couple ever to be officially married.

Gasp.

Thai surgeons reject cosmetic castration ban!

By Marianne Kearney / Asian Sex Gazette

August 20, 2008

JAKARTA – Thailand’s plastic surgery clinics have vowed to defy a recent government ban on performing castrations, saying they will continue to offer sex change operations in the country famous for its “ladyboys”.

Earlier this month, the Thai health minister, Chaiya Sasomsab, issued a directive banning the operation after rights groups complained about the botched castration of an under-age boy in the northern city of Chiang-Mai.

But in direct defiance of the ban, the chief surgeon at the Pratunum Clinic – one of Thailand’s top transgender clinics in Bangkok – has called on anyone wanting a castration to come to his clinic.

“I want them to be happy with what they want to be, and will remove their unwanted organs,” Dr Thep Wetwisit said.

He also criticised the ban as ridiculous and dangerous.

“They have banned castrations but not sex change operations. But to do a sex change operation you have to remove the testes,” he told The Telegraph.

He said many of the clinics in Bangkok would continue to provide this important service, because if they didn’t potential patients would only visit underground, unlicensed clinics.

A government clinic in Chang Mai is also keeping its doors open to those wanting to go under the knife.

Bangkok has become an international centre famous for sex change operations, breast augmentation, liposuction, and various types of plastic surgery, with transvestites from all over the Asia, and even the UK, Australia and the US visiting Thailand for transgender operations.

A local paper estimates that as many as 10,000 clinics and 300 private hospitals in Thailand offer sex change operations, sometimes for as little as 4,000 baht or £64.

Dr Wetwisit admitted the operation could be dangerous. He said many clinics were unlicensed and that websites in the UK frequently warned people not to travel to Thailand for the operation.

But he said as a licensed physician, he had performed hundreds of sex change operations, without any complaints, since offering the procedure at his Pratunum Clinic four years ago.

His list of clients includes patients from the UK, including from Manchester, Australia, China, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Local media reports say the sex re-assignment surgery has become a routine operation and there are fears that it has become trendy among many young gay or transsexual men.

“Many youths may misunderstand the situation and see transgenderism as a fad. But the irreversible procedure may later become nothing but a grave mistake,” warned Jetsada Taesombat from the South-East Asian Consortium on Gender, Sexuality and Health in an opinion piece in local paper, The Nation.

Dr Wetwisit said the solution was to issue a ban only for under-age boys.

He said if the health minister failed to revoke the ban, he would take the minister to the administrative court.

"The Pill" is not just for "girls" anymore.

Ladyboy Creampie... oh my!

I shoot DVDs for couple of porn companies and this is one of them. Black Ops is a project I started with another ladyboy fanatic so we could have some fun, shoot what we want and create a product start to finish the way WE wanted it to be and not have it end up looking like every other DVD made by the LA Porn Machine.

We don’t release many DVDs per year but that was never our goal. Black Ops was meant to be enjoyed and not have it turn into a “job” as many of the shoots do. We just shoot when we get an idea and put it out when we don’t feel pressured to do so.

From solo scenes to double anal to bareback scenes, Black Ops does it all and usually does it better than everyone else in our market. I’m not just stroking myself off here, this really is some hot stuff and when you get a chance to check it out, you’ll agree.

My partner in this project deserves all the credit for putting his art school design flare on this project and really making it stand out. Big ups to him and his creative melon. Another big ups to our distributor Third World Media, famous for their Shemale Samba Mania and Little Asian Transsexuals (Which I posted about below) DVD lines, for putting up with our lax release schedule and more importantly, ALWAYS paying on time! A fantastic company with killer product (hetro, shemale and gay) from around the world.

Once I figure out how to post videos here, I’ll be posting some Black Ops video trailers.

The little ladyboy who thought she could...

In my line of work it’s not uncommon to find a desperate hooker who wants to make money so they get a fake ID and hit the go-go bars and brothels. These places are filled with minors (15 – 17 years) and don’t let anyone try to blow smoke up your ass and tell you different. From Bangkok to Pattaya to Phuket and every place in-between, minors working as hookers.

These same underage hookers also often try to sneak into the porn business and more often than not, many of the other producers will shoot them and bank on nobody ever finding out. Well people do find out and some producers even take the time to look at the ID card to decide if it’s real or not.

This ladyboy told me she was 20 and when I saw her ID I knew there was a problem. I had a friend who has some government contacts pull her government wrap sheet and real ID info for me. She JUST turned 18 a month before I met her and she handed me this sorry excuse for a fake ID. The funny and sad thing is, she’s on many websites already and even in a few DVDs, all had to of been shot when she was 16 – 17 years old. You gotta love the dirt bags in porn!

Back to the math… 2531 = 1988, as their calender is 543 years ahead of our calender. As if shooting here and dealing with language barriers are not bad enough, we also have to do the math in our head when we look at their ID cards. I’m party retarded so I have to use a calculator, match is impossible in my head. Her real birth year is 2533, which is 1990, making her just 18 years old now.

I didn’t have any real point to this post other than show you that these models can be so dumb that they will scratch off their numbers and write a new one back on with an ink pen and some producers will allow this. Sad.

This guy scares me.

I just want to go on record and say that this dude gives me the creeps. “Master Wez” sounds like he could be a Jedi, and even looks like it but instead of striking you down with a light saber, he’d tie you down and put a foot in your ass.

We brought Wez in on the Black Ops project to do some fetish work for us and he hasn’t been out of character since, assuming he was ever in character to begin with. I think this is just how he is. Wez has a real fetish for latex, leather, PVC and other strange materials as well as doing some freaky shit to the ladyboys. He’s anti-government, fairly anti-social and his blog is full of some pretty interesting things.

This site kind of fell into my lap. A friend of mine contacted me looking to see if I was selling ladyboy content, which I prefer not to sell and retain ownership, but I asked for the information anyway to feel it out. He put me in contact with a company called NicheCastle.com, which is an affiliate program that runs several shemale sites, mostly shot in Brazil. I’ve already had some contact with one of the partners there so I hit them up to see what the skinny was and if they were also looking for site partners. They were!

We worked out the details about the partnership and the type of content that would be on the site. They wanted a more high end look and if you check out the site, that is exactly what they got. I spent a lot of time picking out their clothes, shoes, gloves, underwear, corsets and everything in-between. The result we are both very pleased with and it is really going to give the current high end ladyboy sites a run for their money.

LadyboyDolls.com is mostly a masturbation site (5 solo scenes) with one hardcore (sex scene) scene added each month, for a total of 6 updates per month. This may increase once the site gets rolling but for now that is the amount.

One thing that sets this site apart from the masses of other sites is, ALL of the ladyboys have hard cocks AND they cum! There are no limp dicks or ladyboys who can’t or won’t cum. That is one thing I am so sick of seeing on the other sites and my guarantee to you is, you’ll never see that bull shit here. I’ve never seen the point of looking at ladyboys if they have a shriveled up cock and they are unable to cum. That’s a waste of a ladyboy if you ask me.

So check out LadyboyDolls.com and feel free to give me your feedback as well as your requests for the site. If it’s a reasonable request, I’ll shoot it for you.

Little Asian Transsexuals 10

I shot this movie a while ago so nothing really jumps out at me to talk about other than at one of the locations (Moo and Mook), little piss ants invaded the room and got into everything. It was like some end of the world type of invasion. They were in my gear, in the beds, on the lights, in the clothes, it was a mess. We sprayed the room for hours and killed all those little fuckers along with a few of our own brain cells.

Little Asian Transsexuals 11

There is a ladyboy named Nam in this movie that I have worked with before. This time she showed up sporting a new Cleopatra dew and I must admit I wasn’t a big fan of it. I almost canceled the shoot but she took a bus 2 hours to work for me so I shot her and I’m glad I did. She did a great job as always and took a HUGE cock from one of my boys so I can’t complain. In the end, she told my assistant that one of my crew guys (who was brand new to Thailand) blew her in the bathroom. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, but she’s been on his nuts every since.

Neung was a new ladyboy I found in Pattaya and she was all smiles until she got to the set. Then it turned into “how much longer” and she became more unwilling to work by the minute. I blacked out the rest I think but I know we did get the scene finished and at the end of the day in my world, that’s all that matters.

Apple and Dia did fantastic jobs and have been back to work for me a few times since. One of those times Dia shit all over my couch from not letting all the water drain out of her ass while she was cleaning it before the shoot. Sometimes that shit happens, literally. But that’s another story for another post. We still love Dia.
