Hi iv read everyones posts, they all seem very interesting. Are you REALLY trying to download EXE and ZIP files? or are you actually trying to get access to web sites that are blocked? The latter I think. The bypass for that is quite simple, and can possibly be altered to work with files also.
In simplified terms, you find a CGI redirector, and direct yourself to the blocked page. By nature of CGI, it creates files 'on the fly' and is not scanned by IGear. So there is your answer for accessing blocked pages, find a web redirect, and bounce yourself off of it to the page that you want access to.
With EXE and ZIP files, the MIME type is checked, so renaming the file extension would be pointless, as it will still be recognised as an EXE or ZIP file. A simple way around this would be SIMPLE encryption. Maybe bitwise, i.e. every character in the blocked file has its ASCII character number shifter one binary place to the left/right. So, for example, "a", which is ASCII 97, becomes ASCII 194. SO a filtered item such as EXE, turns from 69 88 69, to 138 176 138. This cannot be filtered, as the outcome code is twice the value of EXE.
It would be worth noting that the former method, the one with the blocked websites, has been tried and tested. IT WORKS! The latter is still in its testing stages. Any help would be appreciated.
It should be also noted that I made these myself. These are all my ideas, and I am 15 years old. This is DANGEROUS! I have no qualifications, no nothing, I am completely self taught. So how can this 'IGear' be used to protect people of my age and younger, when I can break through it?
Feel free to visit my website, or email me, I may not be able to write back at the moment, as I have exams, and am learning ASP.
