Communications blackout doesn't deter hackers targeting Syrian regime

[tangent4ronpaul]

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/11/...-war-on-syria/

An Internet blackout and complete lack of phone service has not stopped the infamous international hacker group Anonymous from its cyberwar on the Syrian regime.

The hacker group, which has been credited with online attacks on governments, international banks and even the CIA, claims it is retaliating for activist reports stating that the embattled regime of Bashar al-Assad had shut down online and cellphone access this week, perhaps in preparation for a major offensive.

“We are going to take down every embassy in the world Assad has left, begining [sic] with his biggest and most powerful supporter nations,” reads an online document purportedly posted Thursday by Anonymous.

The government blamed rebel fighters for the outages, and claimed to be working to restore access. But members of Anonymous scoff at those claims, according to a hacker source with knowledge of Anonymous's activities. It’s clear that “the cables were not cut, the source said, indicating the regime is behind the blackout.

“Places that are hosting Syrian content outside the region are being told they are hosting illegally and some are allegedly shutting down those servers/sites,” he told FoxNews.com. “Assad's move is a prelude to something bad and bigger,” he told FoxNews.com -- one reason Anonymous is going after all Syrian government sites, specifically focusing on embassy sites outside of the country.

The group claims to be trying to help Syrians get back online despite the problems.

“They are just trying to support the Syrian people to have access,” he told FoxNews.com. “They have been passing the telecomix dial up accounts to Syrians so they can get to the net.”

Online messages from Anonymous confirm the calls for cyberattacks against Syrian allies.

“Start with China, Russia has no web site. hack it if you can," said a recent post. "If we don't get it that way then later tonight we'll put the lasers on it.”

Internet access remained completely shut off on Friday, according to Internet connectivity monitors at Renesys.

So this Op will have two prongs, one: gather any and all media coming OUT of Syria and spread the info. And two: OFFENSIVE, we are going to take down EVERY Embassy in the world Assad has left, begining with his biggest and most powerful supporter nations. Thankfully, he doesn't have many left so....
Start with China, Russia has no web site. hack it if you can. If we don't get it that way then later tonight we'll put the lazers on it.

Here's an idea, if you really want to help the Syrian opposition to Assad: get off the computer, pick up a gun and fight the Shabiha militia.

[juleswin]

Anonymous is at it again helping blood thirsty terrorists destroy another peaceful and prosperous middle east country. Some groups just needs to go away, meedling in other countries internal affairs as if they know what is best for Syria.

Btw here is a look at the so called rebels aka Free (to kill) Syrian Army

[tangent4ronpaul]

There are many factions. Don't assume that is normal. Or it might be.

Oh yea, I can continue posting their many crimes here but some are just too graphic for a forum like this. Srry but it is a terrible idea supporting these spooks. I can understand how someone would love it for the dictator Assad to be displaced from office but why destroy a whole country, kill, maim and and displace millions of people just to replace them with these guys.

Another fantastic example of the FSA. Please watch and share. This video shows no gory images and its only 3 mins long.
1st segment shows a FSA encouraging a young boy about 12 yrs to be a martyr and die for his country. This is as he digs his own grave
2nd is the bombing of pro govt districts (civilian buildings)
3rd Shows heavily armed FSA threatening to kill the parents of Syria army members bcos they didn't talk their sons out of joining the army
And finally, FSA and their supporters singing about implementing sharia law in secular Syria and exterminating Alawites



These are just the things the FSA think is moderate enough to put on tape, in actuality, these guys are far worse that what you see here on tape

Anonymous have said they will shut down the Syrian governments websites around the world in response to Syria’s internet blackout. For the second day all internet services, mobile phones and many fixed line phones are out of action.

*A tweet on Friday from the group read, “Government of Syria cuts country’s internet access – anonymous goes on warpath.”
Anonymous quickly called their campaign Opsyria. At 02:00 am GMT on Friday they started removing all the Syrian government’s internet properties that remained online, after the country’s Web access was severed, they also targeted domains ran by pro-government sympathizers.
Some of the Syrian organizations and companies that have been hacked by Anonymous include Syrian Railways, the Syrian parliament, Syrian TV and the Syrian Embassy in China.
The hackers also managed to download 1GB of confidential memos and emails from the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs including details about plane loads of cash from Russia and arms from Ukraine, which they have uploaded for public viewing

Alex Jones is claiming this "anonymous" act is actually a CIA/Mossad mission:

http://www.prisonplanet.com/intellig...-on-syria.html

As exhaustively documented by Infowar.com and others, the Syrian opposition is run by the CIA, MI6, and Mossad and funded by the authoritarian monarchies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and largely composed of elements associated with al-Qaeda.

The press release promises “take-downs, defacements, data dumps, E-Mail bombs and black fax attacks” and says it will begin its attack by targeting the website of the Syrian Embassy in China.
Anonymous created a Twitter account – @OpSyriaIRC – where it planned to post updates, but the account was suspended by Twitter. On Saturday, the targeted Syrian website was functioning normally.
The rhetoric used by Anonymous in the press release posted on the opensource online pastebin site AnonPaste is reminiscent of the propaganda used by the U.S. government and its NATO allies.

Anonymous is so full of it. They claimed to have stopped Karl Rove from rigging Ohio voting machines but refuse to provide any evidence for this. I wouldn't be surprised myself if these guys actually work for the establishment themselves. These guys are savy internet guys and they must know who the opposition in Syria is and what they are capable of and still they are supporting them.

Yes, anonymous cannot be trusted, at best they are lying disinfo agent and at worst, they are stooges for TPTB

maybe a c-130 psyops plane equipped with tech that can broadcast internet like it did in Egypt during the "revolution"

[Occam's Banana]

The problem with Anonymous is that they're ... well ... anonymous.

Anyone can claim to be them. Hell, anyone CAN be them.

[juleswin]

Or even easier, tap the connection from a neigbouring country and that shouldn't be that hard seeing how all the rebel stronghold are near the border. Ofc close proximity to the border also enables the foreign fighters to cause as much havoc to the pro Assad civilians and easily slip out after that

Who or what is "SWIM"?

Someone Who Isn't Me.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swim

The acronym was popularized on an dark/gray web site called "the hive" in the 90's

and what do you think "TARGET", "FIRE NOW" and "Web Hive" mean?

Swim says it means CPU spins really fast, modem light flashes a whole bunch, and a web page displaying "successful attacks" quickly starts tallying into the 1000's.



I wasn't there.

War-torn Syria sees restoration of Net after two-day outage

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57...wo-day-outage/

The Internet is back online in most of the country after an outage some say was orchestrated by the government to disrupt opposition forces.

On Thursday, traffic from the Akamai Intelligent Platform to users in Syria dropped to zero, supporting claims that Net access to the country had been axed.
(Credit: Akamai)

The Internet is back up in most parts of Syria, which had been experiencing what some say was a state-orchestrated outage presumably designed to hamper rebel forces.

The BBC reported today that the country's capital city of Damascus again had Net access, and Renesys, which operates a real-time grid that continuously monitors Internet routing data, said in a blog post today that it had confirmed a "largely complete restoration of the Syrian Internet."

Renesys and other companies that offer back-end Net services detected a sharp cutoff in traffic to Syria on Thursday. According to Reuters, Syria's minister of information blamed the outage on terrorists, not state actions. But one Internet firm, CloudFlare, said that explanation was "unlikely to be the case," and, as noted by the BBC, the U.S. State Department pinned the cut in communications on the Syrian government.

The secretary general of the United Nations said civilians were being massacred almost daily across Syria, with both sides in the civil war committing wide-scale human-rights violations, the BBC reported. The uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011, during the Arab Spring, and an earlier blackout happened in Syria in the summer of that year.

The Syrian blackouts are reminiscent of Internet failures in other countries that seem meant to control the dissemination of information via the Net. In early November, for example, China experienced an outage that coincided with the start of the once-a-decade meeting to appoint a new Communist government, a meeting that throughout its history has served as a flashpoint for protest.

Yesterday, prior to the restoration of Net access in Syria, Google and Twitter restarted their Speak2Tweet service to let people send tweets via voice-mail messages as a way to sidestep the blackout. Apparently, however, some mobile phones and landlines were also being hamstrung during the outage.

Yup, because we all know the Syrian govt did it. I dunno why it is all that surprising for internet connection to go off in the middle of a war.
