IP hidden in TV Vertical Blanking Pulse:

While most of you are out enjoying normal social lives, I like to relax by
reading the RFC's.  I accidentally stumbled on this nefarious plot to hide
IP packets inside a our television signals.  In the future, when you are
watching Star Trek or the X-Files, your TV will be replying to ICMP echo
packets.  The RFC is at:

Just thought I'd pass this on...
