I get a "cannot find requested file" page when trying to get the actual file. The IAD library stopped being updated in 2018 and the link has apparently bitrotted. Cryptome still has a copy, FWIW [0].
Having said that, the last thing I tried implementing from the NSA was a simple systemd service to disable ptrace [1]. The provided service definition had at least three errors, and the instructions themselves were incomplete. Not exactly a confidence builder, but I'll take a look at this one so thank you.
I can recommend the GWU637, with caveats. I spent 3 months in a hotel wrapping up a contract and starting a new job where the hotel wi-fi hated my Mac. Phone - fine. Tablet - fine. Mac? Might as well not have existed. It runs pretty hot and there's no 802.11ac support but often when you need this, that isn't an option anyway. There's an undocumented /menu.asp page that you're almost certainly going to need for anything other than a 192.168.1 network.
An alternative that works would be "Google search link fix" [1], which is written/maintained by the current developer of Adblock Plus. (There's probably no reason that the core script [2] couldn't be adapted into a userscript for Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/etc. if he isn't considered trusted.) It does currently have a problem on Firefox for Android where a long-press on a link doesn't trigger the tracking removal. [3]
That's one good reason, another is probably pushback from merchants. Having these virtual cards completely shuts down the "free-trial-we-hope-you'll-forget-and-let-us-ding-you-for-a-month-or-two" business model that's so popular for online services.
Not sure you need merchant pushback there - if it leads to unexpected charges then it's more likely to lead to inability to pay, or short payment, which gives the credit card companies their chance to feed off the client.
Wouldn't the bank still know your full purchase history (since they know what numbers are tied to you)? So they'd in fact get a leg up on the competition, who get a more distorted view?
Unless they work with an analytics system that mastercard, visa & amex participate in to link card numbers to invoices for better advertising & affiliate data.
I know FB & Google purchase something like that from one or two credit card companies, so I wouldn't be surprised if merchants were in to it too.
