So now Tom Arnold is posting IP addresses...

[Ken8521]

This *may* be something, but most likely not... Probably more clickbait than anything else.

Holy SHIT. Tom Arnold just posted the IP address for the Apprentice files database.

FunkyZero posted in the shoutbox this info on a traceroute of the IP address (You'd think they'd use a less common port than 8800)

FunkyZero: traces back to a block owned by adshollywood.com in LA. someone named Han Nguyen
948 N. Cahuenga Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90038 UNITED STATES

Did some Googling...

Ok, I'm an expert on Googling (you should see my history  ) but I'm not on the technical side.  So what would this mean?

[Ken8521]

Well, only going off Tom Arnold's post... He has suggested the IP address he posted, is for a server that hosts the Apprentice videos that are claimed to exist out there w/ Trump using the "N-word", etc.  I'mm assuming this was done in the hopes that someone would hack the server and release the videos.

Funky did an IP search on the IP address, and the IP is registered under the name of Han Nguyen.  I Googled that name (which I can't imagine is all that common) and that link shows a Clinton campaign staffer by someone with that name, who was a 'Digital Director'.  I don't know exactly what a 'Digital Director' is, but one can surmise they were probably editing videos, etc. for public release.  To me, if you read between the lines of Arnold's post like an angry Liberal would (who I'm sure knew that folks would find out who owned that IP address), he's suggesting this Nguyen guy has some sort of video editor for The Apprentice, and thus has access to these videos of Trump and the racial epithets on these servers, and he's wanting people to try and crack this server's password and get the data.

   If they had video of Trump saying that word they would have released it already 

They are just trying to Benghazi and plant a seed in their barren brains.

Exactly.
Apparently, people as rich and powerful as the Clintons and their campaign team weren't able to find such footage before the election, yet a random IP hack is able to find it?

I agree, but remember one of the things that DUmmies were saying is that someone had to have been threatened, etc. to not release the videos.  Obviously this is not proof they exist, it's simply Arnold doing what he's done since before the election... just trying to imply the videos are out there w/o actually releasing them.

Personally, I think it's just Tom Arnold chumming for twitter followers but...

It's probably nothing... it just struck me as a coincidence.. but if that name is as common as you say, it would make more sense (I wasn't aware it was that common)

[USA4ME]

Tom Arnold and Rosanne Barr are both idiots. No reason to believe Tom has become even less so over the years.

This could even be Tom being mad at Han Nguyen or at Advanced Digital Services Inc. or MGM for all we know and he's just wanting to get back at them. Wouldn't put it past him.

As I posted in the Shoutbox, "Nguyen" is the most common Vietnamese family name. It's like "Smith" among those with English heritage, or "Schmidt" among those of Germanic heritage. And "Han" is not an uncommon given name. So Han Nguyen the D operative may or may not be the Han Nguyen who owns this site.

If I followed the info FZ posted correctly, the site was created in 1999. Since D operative Han Nguyen graduated from Juniata College (located in PA) in 2007, his probable age range and probable geography suggest that D operative Han Nguyen and site owner Han Nguyen are two different people. But it is not impossible that D operative purchased ADS and its site.

My theory, based on very little, is that it's a grand phishing scheme aimed at Libs/Progs who hate Trump hysterically, so hysterically that they would suspend whatever normal caution they have to search for the gotchas they "know" MUST be in that footage.

BTW, if it's real and there are 14 seasons of Apprentice raw footage on that site, its likely to be 10s of thousands of hours of footage. As I posted in the Shoutbox, I think there are ~9600 hours in a year. So if someone wants to view all that footage, Trump is likely to be out of office after 2 terms by the time the person went through all that footage.

"Nguyen" is as common among Viet families as "Kim" is with Koreans, Kinda like "Jones" for the Welsh, or "Smith" for the English.

He has lost his mind

Does Arnold really imagine that tons of hackers haven't been trying, for many months? And trying to hack into the RNC's and Trump campaign's servers?

Remember that massive hack of Sony? The entertainment industry learned from it. Remember the multi-hacks of The SHREW-CHILL's email server? The Rs learned from it; evidently, the Ds did not.

Encouraging Russia to hack = bad
Encouraging Hackers to hack = good

 

[SVPete]

Encouraging Russia to hack = bad

Contrary to D/Lib/Prog claims, Trump did not encourage the Russians - or anyone - to hack the Ds or The SHREW. But DU-folk believe he did, so they see this as justifiable revenge.

I've been following Roseanne Barr for a couple of months. She is pissed about Obama's treatment of Israel, and has posted some pro-Trump stuff.

I don't know -- this feels like a honeypot to me.. (computer system used to trap hackers by baiting them)
