Ο ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ ΣΤΟΝ ΚΥΒΕΡΝΟΧΩΡΟ

http://teaandpolitics.wordpress.com

Στον συνεχιζόμενο πόλεμο μεταξύ της Δύσης και των φανατικών του ισλάμ, το διαδίκτυο έχει αναδειχθεί (προς το παρόν), ως το μέτωπο του πολέμου στο οποίο διεξάγονται οι σημαντικότερες μάχες. Κάποιος «στρατιώτης» ονόματι Jester, υποσχέθηκε να χτυπήσει τις ισλαμικές ιστοσελίδες και τους διακομιστές (servers) που τα υποστηρίζουν. Οι επιθέσεις του Jester έχουν διαπιστωθεί στους εξής φανατικούς ισλαμικούς ιστοτόπους:

www.alemarah.info,www.radicalislam.org, islamicpoint.net, www.almaghrib.org, www.as-ansar.com, www.islamicnetwork.com, www.islamicawakening.com, www.ansarnet.info

Σε πολλούς από αυτούς αρθογραφούν φανατικοί μουσουλμάνοι συνδεόμενοι με τον O. B. Laden

In the ever-changing conflict between the West and Islamist radicals, one front – the Internet – has emerged as a major battlefield. And, while in many areas of this frontier the Islamists strut about unchecked, one man, code-name th3j35t3r (“The Jester”), has made it his point to strike back with (cyber) force. As first reported by the security blog ThreatChaos, “The Jester” made a different kind of New Year’s resolution than most: to wage war on jihadist and pro-Islamist websites and forums by systematically disrupting their servers via denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Also unlike most, he has made good on his promise thus far – and there is no sign that he will let up.

“The Jester has been documenting his attacks against www.alemarah.info, www.radicalislam.org, islamicpoint.net, www.almaghrib.org, www.as-ansar.com, www.islamicnetwork.com, www.islamicawakening.com, [and] www.ansarnet.info, since the beginning of 2010,” according to the ThreatChaos report.

Research and reports by the Investigative Project on Terrorism have verified the radical nature of some of The Jester’s targets. In one article posted on the Islamic Awakening website, author Abuz-Zubair drafts an introduction to a piece by Osama bin Laden spiritual mentor, Abdullah Azzam, in which he chastises those who assert that jihad can mean anything other than armed conflict.
