Little Big Attack on Cyber-Jihad("Spiegel" on Freerepublic, jveritas work against Cyber-Jihad)

Großangriffchen auf den Cyber-Dschihad

Von Yassin Musharbash

Am 19. Juli rief "jveritas" im Internet dazu auf, von ihm identifizierte Pro-Terror-Websites auszuschalten. Seine Idee war simpel: Die Hostingfirmen mit massenhaften Beschwerde-Mails dazuzubringen, die Seiten zu sperren. Und sie funktionierte auch - ein bisschen.

Seit einem Monat herrscht im dschihadistischen Internet ein kleines Erdbeben. Ein knappes Dutzend prominenter Websites (so weit ich zählen kann) ist ihm bereits zum Opfer gefallen. Das Qaida-nahe Diskussionsforum "Das Paradies": bis auf weiteres geschlossen. Die Bekennerschreibenabwurfseite "Welt-Nachrichten-Netzwerk": eine Cyber-Ruine. Das Terroristen-Blog der englischsprachigen "Globalen Islamischen Medienfront": nicht mehr existent.

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Großbildansicht

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Angefangen hat das Massensterben in der zweiten Julihälfte. Ein gewisser "jveritas" löste es mit einem Aufruf auf freerepublic.com aus, einem Treffpunkt von Internetaktivisten, News-Junkies und, wie es scheint, stramm bis rechts-konservativen US-Patrioten. "Wir sollten versuchen, jede bekannte Terroristen-Website auszuschalten, um eine schockierende Nachricht an die islamischen Terroristen zu senden und ihnen einen psychologischen Schlag beizubringen", schlug "jveritas" vor.

Gesagt, getan - schließlich war die Methode, die "jveritas" sich überlegt hatte, denkbar einfach: Weil viele dieser Webseiten von US-amerikanischen Firmen gehostet werden, sollten seine Mitstreiter sich dort beschweren. Zu diesem Zweck veröffentlichte er eine Liste mit URLs von Pro-Dschihad-Websites, dazu gehörigen IP-Adressen und den Adressen der Provider beziehungsweise Hoster. "Jveritas" formulierte sogar Beschwerde-Mails vor. Er fand schnell viele Helfer, die sich beglückt äußerten, selbst endlich einmal etwas gegen Terroristen tun zu können. Das Forum, in dem sie sich austauschen, umfasst mittlerweile 143 Seiten. Nach wenigen Tagen gab es erste Erfolgsmeldungen: "Gute Arbeit! Eine weitere Seite geschlossen!", hieß es etwa am 20. Juli über "Das Paradies".

Thank you very much MEG. This has been a group effort and that is why we were able to shut down over 40 terrorist websites and forums in less than a month.

You are right.

I am one of those who has argued for a long time against the positions that jveritas and some others here have on immigration and other social issues.

However....this is incredible good work and jveritas deserves all the accolades heaped upon him for his diligence.

These endeavors may well save American lives.

And for that I thank all involved. Jveritas we are in your debt and I salute you!

How many of us do you think speak German?

Was sagst du, mein FReund? Haben Sie nicht gehoren von "Altavista"?

Hey guys, there is a new article on the topic on Spiegel Online. I am afraid my level of English is not sufficient to translate the whole thing. The article can be found here (in German):

http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,506744,00.html

According to the Spiegel a so-called “Media-Minister” of the “Islamic State of Iraq” complains about the cyber attack against jihadist websites. jveritas, you might remember that the author of the first article called the attack “Großangriffchen”, meaning it was a little less than a successful full-scale attack.
In this new article, he apologizes for that and states that the attack was indeed very successful and that the “Cyber-Jihad” has some kind of “blackout”.
I didn’t want to open a new topic for that, because I didn’t want to post a German article (I read the discussion here). Maybe someone who is fluent in both, English and German, can translate the whole article and post it.

Anyway, way to go!

I say post it, perhaps with a small English recap. We must have other speakers of foreign languages, in this case German, who might see it and chime in on it. (And so much the better if you [or someone else] find the time to translate).

I'm grateful for the article and your commentary. fh

Thank you very much for the the update FRiend. I greatly appreciate it. In fact the terrorists have admitted that the campaign to shut down their websites and forums did indeed hurt them. They published an article in GIMF (Global Islamic Media Front) admitting so. GIMF was shut down 4 times in a month :)

So, as I read, FR is an Internet meeting place of “News Junkies” and right leaning US patriots. Seems about right, but they missed Ron Paul loons.

“...auf freerepublic.com aus, einem Treffpunkt von Internetaktivisten, News-Junkies und, wie es scheint, stramm bis rechts-konservativen US-Patrioten.”

Pretty accurate, but no mention of Ron Paul loons.

I think they meant that comment as sarcasms.

By the feedback I am getting maybe I was wrong. Maybe the one quarter of one percent I claimed should have been one half of one percent.

You don’t speak for me either.
