After Paris, ISIS Moves Propaganda Machine To Darknet (csoonline.com)
itwbennett writes: Over the weekend, researcher Scot Terban came across the new website of Al-Hayat Media Center, the media division of Daesh (aka ISIS/ISIL), in a post on Shamikh forum (a known jihadi bulletin board), 'someone had posted the new address and instructions for reaching it,' writes CSO's Steve Ragan. The website hosts the usual anti-Western iconography, as well as songs (Nasheeds) and poems for mujahids in various locations. Terban has mirrored the website and its files; he says he plans to publish more details in the coming days. 'Over the years, there have been several claims made that Daesh had propaganda and recruitment hubs on the Darknet, but no one has ever published proof of those claims or explored how the propaganda machine operates in public,' says Ragan.
This first post brought to you by SystemD fast boot time.
on "the darknet"?
What is the "darknet"? tor sites? freenet sites? or is darknet an actual service/thing?
I'm god, but it's a bit of a drag really...
This whole ISIL thing seems to come out of a "mad max" movie . Is this all manufactured? . This is how Hollywood would make an expensive bad movie .
The Powers That Be are going to use this development to get manditory backdoors, key escrow and all the other heinous shit you people hate so much. Enjoy your open borders. Hope it was worth it.
ISIL on Tor means NSA/CIA own Tor. That is all.
but no one has ever published proof of those claims or explored how the propaganda machine operates in public
On the other hand, just turn on the TV and watch our own propaganda machine in public. I don't know how many Syrian and Iraqi civilians died in the past year, but it's surely bound to be a multitude of the recent Western victims.
8 of 13 people found this answer helpful. Did you?
That ToR and the darknet is a terrorist system, that must be stopped.
I say, boy, pay attention when I’m talkin’ to ya, boy
Propaganda is only useful if people see it. If they're moving it to somewhere no one can find it well, good riddance.
you misspelled Burkanet
Its clear ISIS is not making the same mistakes other radicals have made. Paris attack was generally under the radar. This is 9-11 all over again given the secrecy kept and lack of intelligence. The train gunman was only a tragedy avoided by luck not intelligence. A clear lesson we are not fighting dumb thugs.
If "the terrorists" have been forced out of the regular internet, then it's a victory for the good guys. The Darknet is not conducive to propaganda activity. Propoganda needs to be readily available and ubiquitous in order to succeed. Being relegated to the Darknet is not going to help the Isis cause in any way.
But let's all forget all that and put on the fear-monger hats for a bit, eh?
I thought ISIS's whole thing was recruiting people through social media.
Kinda hard to reach the public when you take your propaganda machine into part of the Internet most people don't know even exists.
q: Why is the french flag blue, white, red?
a: Because they ran out of white
Denmark surrendered two hours after being invaded in the war, but the French get all the bad press.
No excuse for such ignorance in the age of Wikipedia.
Update your joke to a level appropriate for this site populated by genius-level intellects and try again.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
There are a lot of talented programmers out there using TOR who just might not appreciate a disruption in business by a bunch of religious nuts. Anonymous has already voiced their disapproval.
I foresee highly amusing consequences of ISIS attempts to make use of "darknet" resources. They may find that all of their orders for rations have been modified to include bacon and all of their ammunition is rerouted to Sweden.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
http://isdratetp4donyfy.onion/ - Link to the site in question, if you want to take a personal look at the scum of the earth.
It's the first result on Twitter when searching .onion.link, and the start (isd...) matches the badly smudged-out URL in TFA's screenshot, so that's the same hidden service.
I'll just leave this here and with a little bit of luck some elite haxxor will mess with their shit.
