Netclean Whitebox funktioniert zweistufig: 1. wird via BGP4 die Liste der verdächtigen IP Adressen in die Routingtabelle eingepflegt. Derzeit sind das um die 450 IP Adressen. Traffic von diesen Websites wird auf die Whitebox umgeleitet. Auf dieser erfolgt 2. die DNS resp. HTTP Inspection, und die Whitebox ist damit in der Lage, zwischen illegalem und harmlosen Inhalt zu unterscheiden, der sich zufällig an der selben IP Adresse befindet.
So it works kind of like eg Arbor Networks' DDoS protection mechanism (redirect some traffic using BGP, deep packet inspection after packet reassembly), coupled with data from an "uncontrollable" source (which is generally believed to be some sinister government agency infiltrated by oppressive political regimes).
It's interesting it took so long for commercial products to appear for the technically obvious solution.
It will be interesting to see how fast well-meaning politicians and paranoid pseudo police-men will want to filter all that nasty illegal music from the net. And how long it will be before such machinery is mandatory for all ISPs.
The excuse that there is no technical solution is gone - it was a lie all along the way, and most techies knew. Now it's time to face the consequences.
