I have seen a few posts mentioning that azzam.com is hosted by BurstNet. But my traceroutes keep pointing to EV1 - Everyone Internet in Houston TX

Al-Qaeda is sneaky - by now they are used to people pulling their plug by just getting their ISP to shut them down for violations of AUP And, if we can't get the terrorists on violations of AUP, we can get them on violations of TOS

So, what's an evil terrorist web site going to do in order to keep their site up and running -- so they can continue recruiting, collecting funds, and in general terrorising innocent people around the world?

They use nested frames for the domain name and point to the actual site using IP addresses. This confuses people unless they use the Netscape browser and view the HTML source to see the frameset. Also, when their domain goes down, the server stays up and they just have to get a new cheap ISP to host their domain name. I've detailed the structure of Al-Qaeda's web pages at my web page: Letter to the ISP of Azzam.com

Jonathan,
Thank you for the clarification - I guess I should have visited the site and checked it out in a bit more detail :). Appreciate your info...the re-director is likely a cheap host resellling the Rackshack service.

Maybe we should use this thread to list all the sites out there, along with their hosts and post them on a website like yours. I will start looking through my bookmarks for other sites.

Alot of their ISPs of choice are also located in Pakistan - not much leverage there.
