I think you are talking about the Twitter side of things. If he was on the WWL network, they will almost assuredly be able to tell which device made those network requests.

Does running a proxy or vpn cover those tracks?

It takes a bit longer, but it is still relatively easy.

Unless you're a Russian or Chinese ransomware specialist.

I always run Orbot, mainly to get around work firewalls though.

He is a changed man!

He got a wife(allegedly) and has a new black and gay friend because of her. He is enlightened(now) and it only took him until he was 30 years old to realize that calling gay and black people vulgar names were wrong

so how can they say they identified the call as coming from Dunlaps phone at the office?
wouldn’t that be the IP of the building WiFi?

Not an IT guy but your devices broadcast what is called a MAC address that is unique to your device. Nobody else on the entire planet will possess your device's MAC address.

Now you know. Do your dirt on a burner.

I mean, that's pretty basic.

The Firewall log is all that’s needed to determine what device posted when.

Per Eric Asher:


Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I have no idea what happened. But before you jump on the WWL radio bandwagon. Let me say this there is a long trail of former on air personalities, sales persons and station employees that have been grounded into dust by the management of that station. Hard working people who gave everything to that station. They are your neighbors family & friends. Some of you still listen to them over the airwaves. The longtime management of that station are not honorable people. I am friends with Seth Dunlap. I believe him when he tells me he had nothing to do with the homophobic tweet. Maybe in time I will be proven wrong for backing a person I believe is honorable. But I doubt it. I fully expected Entercom & WWL Radio to go nuclear & they did. They are a powerful corporation that has the best attorneys in the country on retainer. They went for the jugular.
Let me ask this how many of you have not had to deal with financial trouble in their lives? (Remember the aftermath of Katrina?) That is not an indictment on the character of Seth.
That leak was meant to smear the integrity of Seth & change public opinion.
My question is can they prove that Seth is responsible for the tweet or is only possible to narrow down that according to the IP address & that the tweet came from within the building that WWL Radio is headquartered. That is a legit question that needs to be answered. Seth took a polygraph & passed. Have WWL employees who were in the building at the time of the tweet was posted passed a polygraph? Should Seth allow his phone & laptop to be forensically inspected by an independent party? Absolutely! Has that happened? I don't know. As far as asking for 1.8 million dollars in a settlement. Does it seem excessive? Maybe. But how many lawyers negotiating a settlement start low? Law enforcement is involved so we will see where this investigation goes. But based on the past history of the management of WWL Radio. I will only believe an independent evaluation and conclusion of the facts of this case. Until then I stand behind Seth Dunlap .
