will extract URLs from source_file (which is an html file of links to other sites) and use curl to retrieve the http header of the URL. If the header corresponds to Error 403 Forbidden, that (usually) means that URL is on the SBA HaveAHacksnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900841.post-1066489014759231232003-10-18T22:09:00.000+08:002008-04-25T20:50:25.576+08:00The list I posted earlier (October 12, 2003) was compiled around 3Q 2002 but when I checked the list recently, I discovered that some of the sites that used to be blocked were now unblocked.

Cut and paste the list into ROT13 JavaScript coder/decoder if you don't have another decoder.
Or use the perl script

Over many years at MIT, a 'code of ethics' has evolved. This informal code is a self-enforced attitude that ensures that hacks will continue to be amusing and well-received both within and without MIT.
