CyberArmy is a group of netizens who believe in a deregulated Internet, which is free from external control. We believe in providing tools to assist others who believe in a free Internet - we support Open Source. We campaign against those who abuse the free nature of the Internet. We believe that spammers, child pornographers, web based scammers, and malicious hackers are enemies of the Internet. We believe that the Internet can be self-regulated, and that we, as equipped and knowledgeable netizens, can control and suppress abusers of the Internet, with legal methods, by consolidating together as a united CyberArmy.
CyberArmy is the largest and most effective Internet Freedom organization in the Cyber World. It organises people with devastating efficiency. Any threat to the freedom of the Cyber World is met with our irresistable force. Every month, we recruit more people than the previous month. These people are easily integrated and expertly trained into the CyberArmy, where their skills and ability are focussed by a clear command structure to the best effect. The World knows who we are - as we protect, build, and control the Internet.
The Internet was formed without government help, and has survived quite well without interference. The CyberArmy believes that we don't need hundreds of Internet censorship, control, and administration laws. Do you know that in many countries (USA included), your long distance telephone calls, and email are filtered through government computer labs (the 'Echelon' organisation in the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, and UK), which checks your communication for subversive content? And not just governments. Big business is constantly trying to throw its weight around on the net - bullying small companies on domain name issues, the Music and Motion Picture industries. Recently, the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has tried to ban Linux software which plays DVD movies. They don't have much legal or moral authority to ban a piece of software, but unless small individuals comply, we are forced to concede, or face costly litigation.
So what about internet abusers? We don't believe in complete deregulation of the Internet - that's anarchy and we would be hit with tons of spam email each day and no one with power to stop it. But do sick kiddie porn websites, spammers, and scammers justify the government getting involved in the Net? That's always the argument they give. Yes, we monitor all your email in case someone is using email to send kiddie porn. Really, what use have any governments been in stopping kiddie porn, or spam in your e-mailbox? They've been useless. It's always funny to see governments trying to track down a hacker, they're useless. The Net isn't a national thing that can be controlled by national governments.
What our idea is that the Internet users can regulate these people ourselves. In just the last few months (early 2000), we have shut down three spammers, got over 1000 faxes sent to the US congress about Echelon, got about 500 people to complain at once to the MPAA about DeCSS. And so on. Recently, our child protection division under Marshal Yoshi has been also been very effective lately. Not that this will solve the problems of net. But its a more effective way of handling things than any idiot governments have been able to manage.
In early / mid 1999, we leased a RedHat Linux server, and co-located it at Digital Nation. In the picture is the rack of servers co-located there. CyberArmy is one of the RAQ servers. We added free homepages. We also added the 'Zebulun Challenge' (see below). The visitors to CyberArmy.Com now all had different rankings according to skill, and higher ranks got more power over the site. In a sense, the site became self-regulating. CyberArmy also switched a lot from being more of a 'hacker' related site to being much more of an internet support group.
As of mid 2000, and following articles on MSNBC, CNN, and ZDNet, CyberArmy is getting 100,000 hits per day just on the main pages. We also host around 3,000 free homepages which generate about 20,000 hits a day. We have been discussed on CNN and ZDNET. CyberArmy was listed in January as being around the 2600th most visited site on the Internet (cant remember exactly).
The new
servers:
In May of 2001 the cyberarmy.com website was relocated to a private LAN
hosted
on donated servers and dedicated 4 Mbps SDSL. Thanks to the new
hardware
and the continued hard work of those that have already put so much time
and
effort into making CyberArmy what it is today, we can look forward to
building
it into the self-sufficient, independent, open-source community that we
are
meant to be. The CyberArmy administration now has direct physical
control
over the phoenix server and the CA network With the DIY mentality
we are
building our own infrastructure based on open-source operating systems
and software,
free from corporate ties. Donations are always welcome to help
continue
the cause but CyberArmy will never charge for it's basic services.
As of Mid 2000, I've stopped trying to run this whole site myself. It's way too large now. I've delegated a lot of power to CyberArmy Marshals/ Vice Commander in Chiefs. The current Commander in Chief is MrYowler :
