Web Site Hacks Rise as War Rages in Iraq
An anonymous reader noted a Reuters news story talking about Website Defacement during the war. Apparently protesters and hackers are defacing hundreds of US and UK sites, both corporate and government.

/. was hacked into at least once that I can recall.
IIRC it was something like:
When Slash (the code) is distributed, there are default passwords in place (so they say, I've never looked at the code b/c I don't particularly care - I don't run it anywhere).
Someone ran a check to see all of the hosts at slashdot that could be seen from the outside world.
From there, then they looked to see which of those servers was running Slash.
They found one which wasn't a production one, and they got in via the default password still being in place.
From there they made changes... and that is where I'm less clear - how the changes were propigated up to the main site(s).
There are some odd things afoot now, in the Villa Straylight.
technically, unless the Flash contains bitmaps or audio, it isn't all that large. If you stick to actual vector graphics, the entire compiled package remains quite small since it is rendering it all at run time.

END OF LINE.
Palestine is a Chapter 6 UN resolution, Iraq is a Chapter 7. They aren't in the same league. Chapter 7 is more serious while Chapter 6 is more of an recommendation.
Or is it somehow "unfair" to talk about the left's economic involvement in the middle east?

The popular vote does not choose a president. The electoral college does.
It was set up by the framers of the consitution this way for a specific reason. So that a very populous state with it's own regional political views cant dominate the federal government. Consider at the time, New York had probably a hundred times the population of the entire western half of the country.
This isnt the first time in which the winner lost the popular vote, but won the election.
Please learn how the system works, then you can criticize it effectively.

According to Internet Traffice Report, overall global traffic is down the last three days. Not that it shows the whole picture. I'm sure that the shape of that traffic in the last few days has changed dramatically.
Wired has a story on the same subject: http://wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,58143,0 0.html

Anti-war does not mean left-wing, as those fine fellows at the Cato Institute will point out.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Sure they can carpet bomb areas, but the B-52 can hold any number of precision guided munitions - like a large number of tomahawk-style guided missiles (larger versions though, forget the name).
In this war we do see ground forces really going in, much more so than the previous Iraq conflict which was much more an air war.
In a brief interview on CNN, a military analyst was saying that only 10% of the munitions dropped in the gulf war were precision - this time it will be about 80%.
So the introduction B-52 does not necessarily mark the end of precision targeting. Plus if they do carpet bomb, it would likely be large armor divisions somewhere in the desert... but this time around I think they'd rather not even do that, and have those soldiers give up rather than just kill them.

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:
(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and
(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
If so, please show evidence that Saddam was behind 9/11. Thanks in advance.

Actually, civil disobedience refers to the act of deliberately breaking the law in order to express your opinions. The idea is to overload the "justice" system with traffic, a sort of DOS attack of the court system, and of course also to attract media attention.
In order to commit acts of civil disobedience, you have to break the law. The word "civil" in this context doesn't necessarily mean "polite".
To quote George Carlin, "What exactly is a 'civil war' anyway? 'Excuse me, RATATATATATATATATAT! Oh, I'm terribly sorry, did that hurt?'"

Even if they had one, the 2 main iraqi sites are of the net, the nameserver of www.uruklink.net, NIC1.BAGHDADLINK.net is returning a different bogus IP every 32 seconds. The original IP, 62.145.94.237 behind satelite, is not returning packets. Also www.iraqi-mission.org is no longer available.
Is this the US goverment hacking these servers, or is it script kiddies having a field day?
forgot to include a URL for anyone who wants to see the site, it's http://resnet.evergreen.edu
we left one of their messages up there if you want to see it, it should be down the page some by now, its title is "Hackers Against War"
You want to know why you're at war? Here's the link: http://www.newamericancentury.org/publicationsrepo rts.htm
Go there and download the "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century," report.
Note that it's dated 2000. Note that it was written or backed by a number of people now influential in the Bush administration. Note that it calls for invading Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and possibly others, as well as greatly expanding the number and coverage of US military bases. Note at one point the open wish that some "Pearl harbor type" event would at some point take place to furnish the political will necessary to embark on this course. Honestly, we protestor types don't have to find dissidents or conspiracy theories any more. We can just take the frightening facts from government figures' own webpages.

Yeah, but we [in the US] don't kill our own people [with WMD].
Au contraire. The now infamous plutonium injections caused very similar results to what a dirty bomb would (actually worse). And the Tuskegee Experiment was an exercise in "studying" biological warfare as well. However, we did do our Agent Orange testing on yellow-brown skinned people instead of Americans excepting those who were inadvertently exposed, so that's OK, I guess, right?
