Nutty Liberal Democrats plan to disrupt GOP websites
Hardened electronic activists are planning to jam up the servers of
GeorgeWBush.com, GOP.com and related websites, once the Republican
National Convention gets underway Aug. 29.
"We want to bombard (the Republican sites) with so much traffic that
nobody can get in," said CrimethInc, a member of the so-called Black
Hat Hackers Bloc. It's one of several groups planning to distribute
software tools to reload Republican sites over and over again. These
FloodNet programs are similar to hackers' distributed denial-of-service
attacks, which overwhelm a server with thousands and thousands of
simultaneous requests for information....
The point of the electronic demonstrations isn't to take down a site,
according to Ricardo Dominguez, co-founder of the Electronic
Disturbance Theater, or EDT, which is releasing a FloodNet program of
its own. Unlike hackers' denial-of-service attacks, which often hijack
computers against their users' will, EDT's JavaScript-based software
depends on how many people use the program. "It's a way to let people
around the world gather and let their presence be felt," Dominguez
said.
Not that he would mind if a Republican server just happened to crash
along the way. In 2002, at the EDT's direction, 43,000 people flooded
the site of the World Economic Forum during its meeting in New York.
The organization's website went offline for several hours following the
demonstration.
The Black Hat Hackers Bloc is hoping to cause a whole lot more trouble
when the Republicans start to gather in New York. The groups will be
targeting not only GOP computers, but "e-mail, faxes and phones, too,"
CrimethInc said, as well as unspecified "financial disruption."
Of course as we all know, liberals don't have enough brains to figure
out how to use a paper punch, as was shown in the last election. So
these simple-minded threats of breaking into computers is actually
pretty funny, and pathetic. Liberals are IDIOTS!
