Full-scale cyberwar over WikiLeaks

And we have arrest #2 over the D Do S attacks:

19-year old arrested over attacks on Dutch police websites after arrest of first person involved with DDoS attacks (article in Dutch)

And in the reactions on that article there's some idiot announcing they will continue with the attacks...guess that will be arrest #3.

Unfortunately, I can't read Dutch, but shouldn't arrests over DDOS attacks just end up provoking more DDOS attacks?

If enough people are arrested, it would be a RL DOS of the police station.

Huh, civil rights protests sometimes ended up overflowing jails, didn't they? Weird way to think about it.

And in the reactions on that article there's some idiot announcing they will continue with the attacks...guess that will be arrest #3.

Let's start taking bets on how many dumbasses will be busted for the exact same thing.

^^ You don't know of the chanspeak saying "over 9000" do you?

EDIT: People have made provisions that if the "main" hivemind (D Do S cloud) hits a dutch website that they will warn Nederlanders about the fact that they ARE hitting a dutch site. I remember during Chanology someone in the netherlands got V&....or it was a family who got hit because the channers thought they were 'The Regime' members.

I mean for Chris'ts sake, Wikileaks managed to expose the fact that Sudan was buying over 60 Soviet T-72 tanks from Ukraine for use in Darfur, and yet strangely enough the nations that caught that shipment didn't report it; WTF is up with that???

lol. The Southern Sudan groups have been doing the same shit for thaat referendum to declare independence, epecting the Arabs not to abide by the referendum

The way this is going, they are going to have to win completely or be the victims of the 2010s version of the War on terror.

Honestly, they will end up dying one way or another. The internet will probably be oppressed, it's that they either go down fighting or surrender like cowards. That is their logic. They'd rather say "We did SOMETHING to fight the system, rather than surrender and let governments shit on us and fuck us up the ass".

Besides, maybe that will wake up the 2600 for their denial of Op Payback and separating themselves from the "Skiddies" who make up Anonymous. At least Anon is DOING SOMETHING to gain attention to the cause, AS WELL as objectively strike back, AND emotionally revenge Assange. Unlike the people who wrote that and probably are embedded within society and can criticize the channers.

here's some posts from the irc chat A Nd twitter

Think back on your childhood. What do you regret more, the dumb things you did, or all the cool things you should have done but didn't?

Faggot best be trollin'. Even this Amerifag knows that America isn't our last hope. The people of the world are the last hope, and its time they took a stand against the oppressive governments of the world. No more DMCA. No more PATRIOT act. No more lies.

Apparently, plenty ppl still don't understand why we #ddos. Not 4 fun but #payback. Down with oppressive corrupt govt #assange #paypal

We are anonymous. Our survival rests on Freedom of Speech, that is why we are supporting wikileaks and targeting anti-wikileak sites

We are fighting for freedom and democracy

#democracy is achieved by #anarchy! #ddos #loic #payback #cyberwar #revolution #civildisobedience #wikileaks #assange #bieber #iphone

Internet belongs to people NOT govt n corporations #REVOLT #REVOLUTION #ddos #payback #cyberwar #Wikileaks #Assange #iPhone #bieber #usa

Fuck, why are som ppl scared of being arrested. Don't you see that your govmnt BETRAYED you? Wanna live in fear forever? #ddos #payback

USA: The police don't have the resources to arrest everyone for #ddos. The more of you, the lesser the chances! #payback #assange #paypal

I read somewhere that we are 35,000 ppl. I do manual LOIC

We are REALLY FED UP with the establishment, corruption, oppression by government and collusion

Thanks to all who support the attacks, together we will end the dictatorship that is taking place in the world

You know, the whole cyberwar thing is kind of awesome in a weird way. I don't know enough to hack or anything, considering offering my computer to the hive mind though.

Don't any of you remember Chanalogy?

avatar: The Stupid Exclamation Mark I'll laugh my ass off if the voluntary botnet software turns out to contain a trojan horse or worse * like being the work of the CIA .

God no. If that happened they've would have noticed it LONG ago. Besides, the software is simply a newer/updated version of a D Do S program that has been used and updated in MANY chan wars. The only difference I remember is that the newer one has a voluntary botnet option. Many channers are still hitting with their older versions that do not have botnet. That is proving to be a problem, they are trying to hit when a certain mass is achieved....but there will be independent peopl not connected & that botnet isn't exactly the most functional, assuming they aren't getting D Do Sed themselves.

Seriously though they don't have to really organize that much. Create a bunch of small cells of people who work closely together but are not connected to anyone else. Works pretty well in most cases.

They did that for Chanology, local groups. They were too large to be called 'cells' and it happend AFTER the D Do S and cyberwars happened - e.g. it was IRL raiding.

Anons. Would be more useful if they would have some consistency and more oomph then just DDOS attacks with bot nets. Do they ever use any other tactics?

Yes. In earlier wars anon would pull a D Do S as a finishing move, not a beginning salvo. They'd invade a forum first. But they're not hitting forums, so unless some 1337 haxx0r is available to do defacing of the sites, they have to pull a D Do S, or take advantage of a blatant flaw in the site to inflict massive damage (like that happens...)

Oh, and there's general harassment tricks like printing the fax machines out, harassing people with condoms/mormons/pizzas, SWA Ting them, etc.

You're going to have to summarize, since the video is no longer available.

Guy who coordinated Howard Dean's internet campaign in 2004 supports the concepts of Op Payback and doesn't think the D Do S is technically illegal due to it simply being refreshing a page.

Two arrest over cyber-protests is laughable but the over-flowing jails lines reminds me of this:

Following this speech close to 800 people were arrest (all from the same school mind you), 2 arrests are nothing.

I am still interested to see how long Anon can go on.

Couple weeks until they get bored. On the other hand, winter break, so they get more free time...

They got a new thing: Operation Leakspin.

I saw that earlier. I doubt pushing things already shown will have much effect.

I might garner some short term attention but people will go back to ignoring them.

Anyone else find that Assange looks a little bit like a young Palpatine?

...

Oh cra-

Well, if this was a clichéd action movie, I'd say he's Obviously Evil but since its reality, that should not affect anyones opinion of him.

^^Nah, he looks more like Johan Liebert.

...

GOOD GOD THAT'S EVEN WORSE

He looks like he needs to eat something. So any news on the new direction of the Anons campaign.

Kinda looks like Bill Maher.

World Of Warcraft, meet WikiLeaks. A member of the the raiding guild Ensidia just got arrested.

Yes, I posted this in another thread too, but different threads for different responses.

...why is their most distinguishing feature that they play World Of Warcraft? O_o

and why are they all Dutch, do they have a ninja NSA equivalent or something

The dutch are the only ones taking this seriously/actually have laws in place to combat cyberwar.

I'm just scared that in the inevitable internet-restriction legislation to come out of this, somebody's going to use it to push their anti Net-Neutrality agenda. It would be horrible to see the Internet as we know it end over this one stupid thing.
