Hackers' jihad in cyberspace

Internet jihad update. "Islamists seek to organize hackers' jihad in cyberspace," from UPI, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

A Web forum for Muslim extremists is calling on its members to organize an Islamist hackers' army to carry out Internet attacks against the U.S. government.

The site has posted tips, software and links to other resources to help would-be cyber-warriors.

The Jamestown Foundation, a District-based nonprofit with a history of extensive ties to the CIA, said that it has monitored postings on a new section of an extremist bulletin board called al-Farooq.

According to Jeffrey Poole, a researcher for the foundation, the forum "represents a how-to manual for the disruption and/or destruction of enemy electronic resources, including e-mail, Web sites and computer hardware."

The new section was set up two weeks ago, according to a briefing written by Mr. Poole and distributed by the foundation, which added that one member of the forum has called for the creation of an Islamist organization, which he dubbed "Jaish al-Hacker al-Islami," the Islamic Hacker's Army.

The would-be Islamist cyber-warrior, who calls himself "Achrafe," pointed out that organization of large numbers of attackers is a key force multiplier in some forms of Web warfare -- such as denial-of- service attacks in which the target's servers are bombarded with so many requests for information from other parts of the Internet that they effectively are shut down.

The foundation described in detail a "hacker library" maintained on the al-Farooq site, offering special software that can be used to steal passwords; tools and tips on anonymous Web surfing; and programs the site says can destroy or disable a target computer if installed on it.

Aside from the high tech solutions to monitoring and tracing these saboteurs, I'm all for the lowest tech answer once they know who the s.o.b.'s are:

.45 caliber + medulla oblongata = hacker-free.*

(* I was ready to do this to whomever started the Win.32 virus about 4 years ago... which came in an unsuspecting attachment from a customer... and all it did was require me to sit on the phone for an hour waiting for a human to answer, then work with tech support for 1-2 hours, and finally have to scrub my computer back to empty and do a complete re-install of all software and settings. By the end of that thrilling execise in futility, I would have gladly plugged the weasel who sent it out ... in order to harass hundreds of thousands and waste billions of dollars and cost millions of hours fixing it.)

China is in on the hacker fun.

Catherine:

Israeli medical staff regulary provided Palestinians with treatment, including terrorists wounded in the act despite the fact that at least as often as not, the terrorists will only return to terrorist activities. As for the Italian government cutting deals to release some of their nationals, yes, it's repugnant, but I expect the motivation was to keep a lid on anti-war sentiment in Italy, and they still have forces on the ground in Iraq.

I guess we know why Casey Sheehan's father and mother aren't living together. Clearly, Cindi is many cards short of a deck.

Yes, Catherine. I agree. The media and various organizations are using her very shamelessly.
