Terrorist Names SEARCH:Terror websites, take down or leave up? Answer.
Alas the eternal question:
whether it be better to suffer the AQ web sites
or by opposing them end their command and control, make them deaf, take down the web site.
The terrorist websites are what allow the terrorist to grow, recruit, as long as there is even a small cadre of AQ.
Kill the websites and you kill their command and control.
If we had recognized the dangers poised by the Internet we could have KILLED the websites right away.
Without the Internet AQ would have died long ago like so many others. But who Knew?
AQ is hunting on line for the 1% who will kill, out of a Muslim population of 1.5 billion.
He will always find them, one percent of any population on earth is psychotic, sociopath.
The demographic is always there, always will be.
Imagine for a moment your web site gone, gone and all copies, backups gone from the servers.
Only backup is what you may have personally.
That is the case many AQ web masters find themselves in.
But they are far more than webmasters.
Actually independent contractors, originally unwanted, unappreciated.
Not completely trusted by AQ or the Taliban.
The most recent hostage video was not released on the web site.
The first terrorist websites were developed without any input from AQ.
A webmaster recognized the communication engine inherent in a web site and the media
theater that could made for propaganda.
At this point in time their reputations are still at stake, they put much of themselves into the sites, hours and hours.
Taking one down does much damage to moral and reputation. And AQ view of the Internet.
The first webmasters built the web site and posted everything he could find, quotes, vids, messages, built a forum
and let AQ post what they wanted. The first webmaster had to convince AQ the benefit of the WWW
by demonstration.
AQ are not webmasters, kill the webmasters and AQ will wither.
Kill their command and control, the websites.
I have no idea what intel is being collected from these websites.
I do know they are learning it fast, They built a volunteer net for DOS attacks.
http://www.al-jinan.org/
And to finally burn the top hacker publicly.
http://warintel.blogspot.com
We were able to track their response to that post and discovered
their IT experts were in Islamic computer science Grad schools in India.
And we burned them also.
http://warintel.blogspot.com
We recently discovered a post indicting they wanted more "JEW" websites to attack
They are preparing to become active again on some level.
We have deployed some of the very best botnet expert civilians in USA on that.
Question of balance, civilians cannot balance this, the data is lacking at our level to make decisions.
They will be as good as we are at cyberwar in 5 years.
We have had the benefit of Intel collection, vs shutting them down for 6 yrs now.
WE have a trained cadre of "experts" that can chase down and using their surfers
get the terrorist web sites shut down? mypetjawa etc. 20 so far.
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives
There is a case to be made for loosing the dogs of war, killing the websites.
The paradigm speaks to "terror websites" finally moving to friendly servers
in safe terrorism sponsor countries. Which could be attacked without legal ramifications.
Which would evolve into a cyberwar.
Cyber war is inevitable, question becomes when.
Now, when we have all the advantages or later when they have the technology also?
If they would use a Nuke, cyberwar is a weapon you would not disabuse them of.
The best time to kill the websites is when AQ is going down, in trouble. NOW?
We have picked up a couple of post hating the shutting down of their websites.
The pain that has caused them, the users.
The webmaster finding another host, re up loading everything, all wasted unneeded time.
Loss of data not backed up and re-uploading any backups they do have.
Destruction of their creations. Loss of face, reputation, and so many places for security
holes. And out of circulation for weeks sometimes, and forcing them to fewer and fewer sites.
Their IT skills and their development of cyber warfare abilities
parallels Irans attempt to develop Nukes.
We have to stop it.
Taking out webmasters is one way to slow them.
It seems best to NOT leave the websites up.

Virtual al Qaeda, Taliban, GHOSTS
al Qaeda and the Taliban have been so whittled down, killed and arrested they are operating on a ghost cadre. They are using the Internet to make themselves look whole, fuctional.

Virtual Taliban: Again.
At least two people had telephone interviews with domestic and foreign media under the name of Qari Yousaf Ahmadi, the purported Taliban spokesman, according to a voiceprint study Monday.
Bae Myung-jin, a professor at Soongsil University's phonetics institute, examined nine interviews of Ahmadi disclosed through the media between July 21 and Aug. 2 and found six out of them were made by the same person, with the other three from a different person or persons.
``The comment that the alleged Ahmadi made with the foreign press on July 26 about one hostage's killing and the comment disclosed by AIP on Aug. 2 about safety of the remaining 21 hostages were from different people,'' Bae said.

al Qaeda's new leadership
And most important notice the field of depth in the photo, Gaddahan is first.
An indication of the NEW al Qaeda leadership.
OBL is looking AWAY,
Zawahiri is in the BACKGROUND,
and in the FOREGROUND the heir apparent: Gaddahn.
The NEW al Qaeda leader.
O'samma is quite faded,
Zawahiri less faded,
and Gaddahn very clear....
Its not a surprise, al qaeda's media arm is full of young, Internet
savy, power hungry jahidists
and Gaddahn is closer to their age and is not computer illiterate, and
would cooperate with them 100%.
Hell al Qaeda can't even run their own Jihad,
they have an American do that for them..
One way or the Other an American will be telling al Qaeda what to do.

And a lengthy whine from a suicide bomber that took the easy way out.
Seems it was a very IMPORTANT suicide bomber, but not important enough
to send a camera to film his suicide, they had to make a cartoon about it.
The video continues to glorify Muslim killing Muslim, women, children and bombing Mosques and market places, an abomination to Allah and the Koran.
They should consider surrender and then USA would pull out.
All this hoopla and then this 1 hour and 17 min whine.
Gaddhan came to limelight in 2004 when he threatened in one such video, "Allah willing, the streets of America will run red with blood." 2 years later and no blood in streets, Gaddhan not a reliable source.
An analysis of the attacks carried out in the past two years reveals a curious fact. In 43% of the bombings conducted last year and in 26 of the 57 bombings traced in this study up to June 15 this year, the only death caused by the bombing was that of the bomber himself. This means that, astoundingly, about 90 suicide bombers in this two-year period succeeded in killing only themselves.
There was one period in the spring of 2006 (February 20 to June 21) when a stunning 26 of the 36 suicide bombers in Afghanistan (72%) killed only themselves. This puts the kill average for Afghan suicide bombers far below that of suicide bombers in other theaters of action in the area (Israel, Chechnya, Iraq and the Kurdish areas of Turkey).
Such unusual bomber-to-victim death statistics are, of course, heartening both for coalition troops.

simulate possible operation against Iran
DEBKAfile's military sources report: This will be America's last major combined sea-air war game before during Bush presidency which ends in Jan. 2009 and last opportunity for drilling large-scale combined units should the president decide on a military operation against Iran.
To indicate that outside eyes were not desired, foreign observers who attended the Pacific exercises last year were not invited this year. US military sources in the region said that invitations to officers of regional nations to watch the drills would have had to include Malaysia, which has close ties with Iran.
According to DEBKA-Net-Weekly's military sources, the exercises will be held in conditions resembling as closely as possible those in Iran and practice assaults of the kind that may be executed against the Islamic Republic.
When he spoke of the drills, Willard may well have been describing the realities expected to prevail in a real-life offensive against the Islamic Republic..
Valiant Shield, he said, will "include the complexities of operating three aircraft carriers in the same area while at the same time adding in the operations of another component – the fighters, bombers and tankers of the US Air Force."
He said the exercise will not detract from the Navy's "real world" missions in the Persian Gulf but help drill the Navy and its crews [for that real world.]
Valiant Shield's commander's words may have been meant to answer the sharp criticism coming from Persian Gulf governments.
"Washington may be sending the USS Enterprise Strike Group to the Persian Gulf. It has not yet arrived. The other two American carriers, Nimitz and Stennis, have gone to take part in an exercise far away in the Pacific."

Virtual Taliban
one of the most powerful leaders of the Taliban in South Waziristan, the most powerful commander in the tribal agency.
One of the suicide attacks targeted Sherpao in his home district of Charsadda in the Northwest Frontier Province. The Pakistani government had a warrant out for his arrest but failed to execute it until today.
When they came to arrest him, he hugged a grenade, commited suicide, rather than fight.
They knew the Government had a warrant for him, and he had no body guards, put up no fight.
This most powerful leaders of the Taliban, and the tribal agency just blew himself up rather than go back to Gitmo or fight the cops that came to arrest him. No protection, no emergency exit plan, just another virtual leader, an actor, of the virtual Taliban.

Taliban seeks safety Guarantees
Aug 03, 2007 10:45 AM
Amir Shah
Associated Press
GHAZNI, Afghanistan – The Taliban sought guarantees of safety from the UN mission in Afghanistan should their delegation hold talks with South Korean officials in government-controlled territory over the hostage crisis, a purported militant spokesman said Friday.
The offer came as Amnesty International said it directly appealed to the Taliban to free 21 South Korean hostages, warning the militant movement that holding and killing captives is a war crime.
Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a purported spokesman who claims to speak for the Taliban, said the militants are ready to negotiate about the freedom of the captives with South Korea's ambassador to Afghanistan anywhere if the UN mission guarantees the militant delegation's safety.
"The Taliban are ready to meet them in Kabul, other cities or other country, but only under one condition and that is that the UN guarantees their safety," Ahmadi said, speaking on a phone from an undisclosed location.
Officials from the UN mission in Afghanistan were not immediately available to comment on Ahmadi's offer.

Robot Swords
First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq
Robots have been roaming the streets of Iraq, since shortly after the war began. Now, for the first time -- the first time in any warzone -- the machines are carrying guns.
After years of development, three "special weapons observation remote reconnaissance direct action system" (SWORDS) robots have deployed to Iraq, armed with M249 machine guns. ( SAW, leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi fumbling with the weapon ).The 'bots "haven't fired their weapons yet," Michael Zecca, the SWORDS program manager, tells DANGER ROOM. "But that'll be happening soon."
The SWORDS -- modified versions of bomb-disposal robots used throughout Iraq -- were first declared ready for duty back in 2004. But concerns about safety kept the robots from being sent over the the battlefield. The machines had a tendency to spin out of control from time to time. That was an annoyance during ordnance-handling missions; no one wanted to contemplate the consequences during a firefight.
So the radio-controlled robots were retooled, for greater safety. In the past, weak signals would keep the robots from getting order for as much as eight seconds -- a significant lag during combat. Now, the SWORDS won't act on a command, unless its received right away. A three-part arming process -- with both physical and electronic safeties -- is required before firing. Most importantly, the machines now come with kill switches, in case there's any odd behavior. "So now we can kil lthe unit if it goes crazy," Zecca says.
As initially reported in National Defense magazine, only three of the robots are currently in Iraq. Zecca says he's ready to send more, "but we don't have the money. It's not a priority for the Army, yet." He believes that'll change, once the robots begin getting into firefights.

Paradigm intel: says target is Musharraf
CAIRO, Egypt — Web sites usually used by Islamic militant groups announced a new, major Al Qaeda video would be released soon.
"Coming soon God willing? Wait for the big surprise," said an Internet banner Thursday next to a Web animation that shows photos Al Qaeda chief Usama bin Laden and some of his key deputies, along with pictures of U.S. President George W. Bush and Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.
The advertisement for the forthcoming video was signed by As-Sahab, the multimedia branch of Al Qaeda, and was expected to be an important release on a major recent attack, two U.S.-based terrorism monitoring groups said.
AQ and the Taliban have the most forces in Patki, Patki has killed and captured more AQ than any one else, partly because that is where most of them are.
Assassination of Musharraf could lead to an attempted coup, or civil war.
They have threatened him many times.
And he is a target of convience, they don't have to send troops any where they are already there.
If the attack doesn't kill Musharraf, he may change his mind on going after AQ along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Have the Taliban Forgotten Muhammad's Teachings?
In spring 1994, the residents of the village of Singesar near Kandahar in southern Afghanistan visited a man called Mohammed Omar. They complained to him that a local warlord had kidnapped two teenage girls to his camp and raped them several times.
Omar called about 30 young men under his influence. Armed with just 16 rifles, Omar and his followers raided the warlord's camp and set the girls free. Soon afterwards the warlord paid for his crimes with his neck, hanged from the barrel of a tank.
Omar is Mullah Omar, the supreme commander of the Taliban, an armed political force in Afghanistan. The young men who followed him and rescued the girls were the Taliban.
Thirteen years later, where is this heroic Omar and the Taliban who rescued the girls from their kidnappers? Twenty-three Korean aid workers, including 18 women, were kidnapped by the Taliban, who claim to be dedicated to "protecting and respecting women."

The Internet is designed to survive a nuclear attack to a few countries.
If a Continent or two are taken out by nuclear attacks the Internet will automatically rout around the missing pieces.
A DOS attack , as we know it now, targets a single URL, floods it with traffic
so visitors cannot get in.
A bot attack form a botnet, thousands of zombie computers attacking the one URL.
But suppose a Government with millions of zombie computers flooded a high volume Internet hub, and the hub above it and below it.
Ok now pick out a thousand of the key hubs to flood, with millions of botnets.
Now the traffic will try and work its way around the blockage and over welm some of the Internet shortcuts.
The effect would be some of the hubs would go down, and some would turn high speed T1 lines into dialup speeds.
The cascading effects could take out land line phones, cable TV, automated radio stations, back up banking transactions, close down shopping carts...
The traffic on the outer rings, and short cuts between hubs would also be flooded by the traffic routing around the blockages.
Are there a Million botnets out there?
WE DON'T KNOW, WE ONLY COUNT THE ACTIVE BOTNETS.
As a nation state someone could create 100,000 bots a day test 1,000 of them and let the rest sleep. No one would ever know about the sleeping botnets till they came on line.
Wait for the traffic to route around the blockages then take out another 1000 hubs, based on traffic patterns, for maximum effect.
The Internet could not be shut down, but the traffic making its way through the internet could be cut down this way by many many factors.

DDOS on DNS: Stopping Internet blackouts
Writing in National Journal’s Technology Daily, Andrew Noyes discusses the possibility of a massive Internet blackout caused by a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack on the backbone infrastructure of the ‘Net. |
This type of high-tech ambush, which occurs when multiple compromised systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted server to make Web pages unavailable, could be devastating for global online communication, said Susan Crawford of the Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers. |

UPDATE: 12.17.07
The suspicion remains that botnet time was rented to attack Estonia from Russian trans-national criminal syndicates and when this time ran-out the attacks fell-off. Since January 2007 numerous computers have been infected by a virus known as, Storm Worm, giving the criminal syndicates controlling the virus and hence the computers, processing power estimated beyond the power of the worlds top ten supercomputers. There is clearly an argument for using these botnet systems for more than just spam. It is not yet true to say that the next conflict will be fought virtually on computers alone but it may be rehearsed there.

UPDATE: 12.18.07
A senior Estonian official recently said for the first time that the cyberattacks earlier this year against his country's government and commercial Internet infrastructure were carried out using a network of computers infected with special hacker software that had been rented from a criminal syndicate.
Jaak Aaviksoo, the Estonian minister of defense, told a Washington audience last month that the botnet that attacked Estonia was "rented for that purpose and rented (from) clearly illegal groups that have hijacked a number of computers worldwide."

Update:01.08.07
The Strategy Page describes how China assembled a force few have heard about. In idyllic 1990s, the Chinese Defense Ministry established a research organization called the "NET Force" geared towards conducting information warfare. NET Force was soon joined by an irregular civilian militia; the "Red Hackers Union" (RHU). "Starting in the late 1990s, China assembled what has now become 30,000 Ministry of Public Security employees manning the Golden Shield Project (also known as The Great Firewall of China), and monitor Internet use throughout the country."
Future:
Infection and Survival
The initial infection of botnet client machines was done via worms, but soon the botnets began replicating themselves. Most botnets have the ability to self-update. The bot herder will issue an update command, and all his little troops will download and run new versions of themselves. This update mechanism is even more efficient than Windows update, and it's certainly frightening. Some viruses have also been known to disable antivirus software, and most users would never even notice. If a virus can successfully disable all defense mechanisms and then install undetectable bot client software, it's sure to survive.
The botnet itself is also a worm, because many bots have the ability to spread. They will try a fairly large arsenal of exploits against computers on the same network, or possibly even across the Internet. Bot clients updating themselves were primarily used as a mechanism to distribute new exploit code at first, but then something marvelous happened, and the first self-preservation behavior documented occurred recently: bot clients began DDoS'ing any computer that attempted to detect them by scanning. ( This cause the first massive attack against the NODES. It was an accident G)
Botnets have been dubbed "IRC Botnets" in the past, but this isn't completely accurate any longer. Some newfangled botnets still use IRC to communicate, but they do it over SSL. This essentially means that you cannot detect their presence. Furthermore, the old IRC model of "connect to a server" just isn't feasible. A distributed system that's dependent on a single server is useless, especially when that single server is a huge takedown target. Many a botnets were abandoned in the infancy stage of botnet evolution. We could see this with network anomaly detection tools quite easily: clients would appear as a TCP scanner when they unsuccessfully tried connecting to home-base over and over again.
At this point only one thing comes to mind: peer-to-peer applications. P2P networks have successfully thwarted the MPAA/RIAA, so it should work for botnets as well. Especially with their ability to replicate and attack back, they should be unstoppable. Indeed, there have been many reports of p2p botnet activity. Throw SSL in the mix, and they certainly are undetectable and unstoppable.
Let's think about this for a moment. If bots have the ability to self-update, self-preserve, and massively execute large parallel jobs at the command of a single person, what do we really have here? This is not just a tool for spamming and other ills; this is a living, breathing ecosystem.

The result is that millions of business and home computers – some estimates put the figure as high as 300 million – have been taken over by global gangs of cyber criminals. They're being used every moment of the day for extortion, to spread child pornography and, most commonly, to spew out billions of unsolicited e-mails. It can – and has – brought down the internet for an entire country.
The problem is getting so bad, and accelerating so rapidly, some experts believe 2008 could even be the year the internet meets its Armageddon. On Christmas Eve and Hogmanay, unusually heavy botnet activity was reported, leading to speculation that a major attack was brewing.

PandaLabs: Half a Million Computers Infected with Bots Everyday
IT News Online Staff
2008-01-19
According to data compiled by PandaLabs in its annual report on malware activity in 2007, around half a million computers are infected by bots everyday.
Bots are programs that go resident on a computer awaiting commands from their creators, who can take complete control of the infected system. Once they have control over several hundred computers, cyber-crooks can hook them all up to create botnets.
The report said that approximately 11% of computers around the world are part of these botnets, and they are responsible for 85% of all spam sent.
