A group of Israeli students is asking for help in returning the hacking favor to Hamas. They have a website set up to guide you to appropriate targets.

This sounds like fun! Going to go check it out right now. :)

OK, Looks a little “out of my league”, but a good idea anyway! :)

Done ! My little laptop is now helping win the war on terror in its own modest way. :)

hmmm.... It sounds good, but I’m a little leery of downloading things with no explanation of what they are.

[clyde_m]

i understand. i put the full article from arutz there. gave me a feeling of comfort. a few of us have downloaded - maybe some folks can report back on comfort or problems.

I'd love to help, but I feel the same way you do and the words "hacker" and "hacking" brings to mind too many cyber-terrorist movies.

I'll probably send some money.

I looked at some links and they were interesting. I looked at the Israel Defense Forces web site. Some good stuff. There was even a page where foreigners can join almost like the French Foreign Legion (FFL). A while back I looked at the FFL web site as well.

"Hacker" was once respectable -- well, as far as "tech-savvy geek" was. The MSM took and redefined the term into something else.

(I wuz a hacker before "hacker" wuz even defined.)

My HS tech friends (some of whom went to MIT in 1970) and I were hackers in the old sense, and to this day "That's a great hack!" remains one of the highest compliments.

I refuse to let the MSM redefine it -- if the Wiccans can reclaim "witch" and the homosexuals can reclaim "queer", then we geeks ought to be able to reclaim "hacker"!

(I realize those two other examples aren't exactly ideal, but you get the drift...)

I'm particularly leary because they don't explain how the software works (which would be easy to do), they don't explain who they are and give no reason to trust them, they registered the URL in a small island (Madeira) rather than Israel, for a host machine that appears to be in NYC.

It looks like a SCAM.

I'm one of those people who can turn a computer on, search a few things, type, and turn the computer off.

If I tried "hacking" anything, I'd probably set off WWIII.

I'll gladly leave all that stuff to the people who can safely handle it.
