LulzSec Takes Down Cia.gov (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/lulzsec-takes-down-ciagov)



Nope. This is not an Onion headline. Go ahead. Try it out. http://www.cia.gov (http://www.cia.gov/)
Internet kill switch on in T minus 5...4...3... as full blown retaliation against all (cyber)enemies foreign and domestic (http://twitter.com/#%21/LulzSec/status/81115804636155906) hits new highs. And since no crisis can go to waste, next up is the the appointment of the propaganda Internet Tzar.


DDOS attack.

There was a comment that said that the Illuminati spelled backwards link still worked.

So when do we get the kill switch? CIA, FBI, The FED, and the IMF have all been hit in the last week or so.

False flag or for real is what I'm wondering.

They are real, but they aren't real hackers. It's just a group of script kiddies (http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Script_kiddies). Anyone with half a fucking brain can do this shit by downloading a few programs and working together as a group.

The website looks like it's working to me... does anyone have a screenshot of the hacked webpage?

How can you be sure who it is, and who is working for whom?

Oh no we got hacked again, time to pass another bill.

DDOS attacks can be thwarted... for example:

I would imagine these corporations have enough cash flow to employ ddos prevention techniques. In fact they would have full control over their trunk routers to redirect stuff on the fly with IT staff around the clock, something normally takes phone calls, and service tickets requests for smaller sites.

For example

That's nice amount of bandwidth flowing without a hiccup, fully automated mind you, under a typical attack.

Someone tell me these huge organizations could not pay to have a tweaked model of this to handle several gigabits of bandwidth, or just cluster x number of web servers, each one with their own device id and gigabit connection. Web site would blaze through legitimate traffic under the most massive of DDOS attempts, wouldn't even know there was an attack going on.

that's what i wondered too.

the CIA has programmers with the skill level to both cause & respond to attacks like this.

certainly it is convenient when the US government can claim "Cyberterrorism ! Oh Vey !" ... and requisition another $5 Billion ... or strong-arm a software vendor to put in another back-door.

but sometimes with things like this -

A/ it might be long time before we know for sure.

B/ it almost doesn't matter because the CIA revealed their true colors by supporting & allowing 9-11. they are now a Zionist & a criminal organization. well, they were before 9-11, too.

Yup. I'm going to guess if the site went down for a little bit it was in a fact a false flag just going on the proven prevention of all known attack methods with no service disruption of the device I posted above.

The whole point of the device is to thwart attacks altogether with no noticeable effects under full load.

They probably just turned their protection off for a few moments, just long enough to call all the media outlets, or shit... got lazy and just downed the site for 30 mins, and said it was hacked.

Believe nothing, and trust no one is pretty much par for the course on this scenario. What I do know is these attacks can be prevented altogether with a simple hardware device. Work outwards from there.

if they find the culprit its real...if they dont, its internal.

So the latest attack is here in AZ, on the DPS (Department of Public Safety) website. Supposedly it's because of the "racist" immigration bill, SB1070.


The hacking group LulzSec, which has taken responsibility for breaching the websites of the CIA and the U.S. Senate, said in a bulletin that it targeted the DPS because LulzSec opposes Senate Bill 1070, a law the Arizona Legislature passed that widened law-enforcement officers' ability to apprehend illegal immigrants. The law is largely on hold pending a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

It's CIA.gov... job openings and a kiddie section, probably outsourced to some web dev company. They're not gonna care if someone dos attacks it 'cause it doesn't matter for anything important.
