Trump Tower server and Russian 'pings'...interesting story now

Different networking and backup types have different signatures for how often they communicate and protocol signatures they use. Why don't you ask them? The TIMING is what most of the info refers to.
Syncing under a database-type protocol matches up with the connection times they saw; these people work intimately with databases, and understand how communications look like. Regardless of the 'protocol' used, the damning aspect is that they were sharing and syncing info. And the connection patterns, if the data are as described by these hackers, is rather compelling.
Also Joe, none of this is verified as according to the article itself. It's simply unverified implication coming from unverified implicators.
It's basically dungeon and dragons for government tampering.

I've indicated as such at least 2x in this thread, so don't know why your panties are all caught in a wad on this.
Meaning that they explained this, without actually breaking down the most important aspects?
What protocols? Was there evidence of proxy server involvement? How did they gain access to said private LANS? What programs did they use to intercept data packets? Did they do this legally? And the most important question,..where is the hard data that proves any of this?
The guy has changed, that's for sure. I'm just guessing, but he doesn't mingle much with anybody but Trump bashers, so he doesn't realize it. Oh well, to each his own...
LMAO!!! As already noted, they didn't need to 'access any packets'; they noted the activity, which is 100% logged and trackable by ISPs among other sources.
You're really out of your league on this aspect of "the internets". Maybe you can ask Th3J35t3r and his buddies, as it seems that group of hackivists has been functionally hacking into more details here. I think you are the equivalent of a chimp unsuccessfully playing with Legos compared to their level, but go for it.
Interesting update: apparently, Trump Tower sources have tried to brush it off as "email traffic" from a lone source. Here's the writeup responding to that...
Debunking Trump Tower’s Alfa Bank Server Scandal “Explanation”
From May 4 until September 23, 2016, a Trump Tower server mysteriously transmitted data to Russia’s Alfa Bank. As soon as the story broke, Trump’s team pulled the process down and offered an “interesting” explanation: “A thorough network analysis conducted by Cendyn at the request of the Trump Organization determined an existing banking customer of Cendyn, completely unrelated to Trump, recently used Cendyn’s ‘Metron’ Meeting Management Application to send communication to AlfaBank.com.”
Metron is a “cloud based” computing solution, meaning the software is not installed at either bank, and that all communication is performed via browser to the Metron Cloud servers housed at Cendyn.
This is their “explanation?” The data traffic was NOT between Trump Tower and Alfa, but between an “unknown bank” and Alfa? To anyone with a basic understanding of internet architecture, this is at best laughable. The actual data traffic observed over 120 days were thousands of DNS Lookups directly from Alfa Bank to Trump Tower. Oddly, during the same time frame, identical DNS traffic was ongoing between Trump Tower and Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan, affiliated with the powerful DeVos family. The traffic observed is illustrated in the model shown below.
Later, Trump Tower offered these “connections” were most likely email traffic. Data analysts scoffed at this, noting that some of these connections lasted as much as 10-15 minutes. An email would take only a fraction of a second.
Not only does the data traffic between Trump Tower and Alfa Bank totally contradict Trump’s “explanation”, but the traffic continued around-the-clock and is not consistent with the normal business hours of a bank.

Not seeing anything in major media covering this. Maybe it's all BS.....or, maybe it's so close to the investigations it cannot be reported on in detail w/o running afoul of FBI/NSA, etc....
Time will tell.
