Islamist internet terror attacks?
10/20/2003 | agitate

There has been talk at LittleGreenFootballs about denial of service attacks on pro-Israel websites. Does anyone know anything about this, or any other internet Jihadi activities lately?

Can't get in to LGF. The Left, Terrorists, Arabs and assorted demons do not like the truth freely given on LGF.

haganah b'internet::internet haganah
an online counter-insurgency

click a letter...    I N T E R N E T - H A G A N A H    ...pick a mirror



Notice:
In case you hadn't heard, the public sites of Internet Haganah, haganah.us and haganah.org.il, were knocked offline by a distributed denial of service attack. The attack was engineered primarily by Al Qaida supporters, and participants were recruited in a number of Arabic-language forums, most of which are hosted in Malaysia. The attack appears to have been a largely Saudi/European operation, but what details we have to support that claim will *not* be released by us or by our service providers. We'll settle accounts with the people responsible, and with the web sites and companies involved in this incident, at whatever time may suit us. We have a long memory for such things as this, and we are patient.

Moving forward:
For Internet Haganah to have a fighting chance of surviving such attacks we need to mirror our site at multiple locations, on different backbones, in different datacenters. This costs money, money we don't have.

Contributions to Internet Haganah at this time will go towards securing additional servers, domain names, DNS services and other expenses related to making our presence on the internet more resistant to future attacks.

Just a guess, but you're probably not logged in over there.

You're not just agitating, are you?

Not at the moment, but watch me if Hilliary comes to town ;)

Seriously though, this has happened before and I can't get to LGF, cox and forkum, Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler or The dissident frogman, and Answering Islam was down earlier. Internet Hagnaugh(I know I spelled it wrong) was just recently "hacked" as well.

I think people should petition the FBI if this keeps happening. I am SO fed up with this Jihadi c-r-a-p!

Unfortunately yes, and quite well, especially the "moderate" ones in the USA!

They are socially and culturally retarded, but don't underestimate them.

Why confine the question to Islamists? A lot of Euro-trash and Lefties in this country love the jihadis, too!

This is all that was available from Google's cached version of LGF's Friday content:

The Denial of Service attack that hit the Hosting Matters system last night and took down LGF, Instapundit, and many other blogs, was directed at Aaron Weisburd’s Internet Haganah by a group of Al Qaeda-affiliated web sites. Here is Aaron’s explanation of what happened and why: Al Qaeda Internet attack.

Good point I'm glad you bought that up; the terror-enabling useful idiots like Rachel Corrie are certainly not about somethng like this....

Another point--Islamists include anyone of any ethnicity-Arab, Asian, Black, White-Anyone who subscribes to that culture can be a murderous bigoted thug!
Maybe they'll get a diversity award!

Islamist internet terror attacks?

Just my amateur guess...but if this is true, it might be a good sign.
As in the Islamikazes and their fellow-travelers are now so impotent in terms
of attacking hard (physical) targets (and even soft ones) in the USA...
all they can do is try to choke down distribution of truth over the Internet from
sites in the USA.

The day we see freerepublic, LGF, and other conservative sites knocked off-line
and DU and other fellow-traveler sites untouched...we'll know what the score is.

List member Agitate asked me to ping this thread. I really relate because my personal site was hacked on the second anniversary of 9/11. Not too much damage, just the main site and a relevant article which generates the most traffic on the site

Stay staunch, FReepers. If we weren't making some type of impact in the Arena of the War of Ideas, they wouldn't be making the effort. Let's keep Free Republic and Jim Robinson funded, and let's stay hard in the fight!
