I have been thinking of an idea and wanted to pass it on to those with the proper skills. Rather than Hackers uniting to deface Aghani websites and so forth, how about a coalition of DISINFORMATION. I see it as these Terrorist Cells in America might be acting independent of Outside direction when it comes to establishing the short term goals (ie. claim residency, obtain pilots licenses and Hazardous material trucking licenses.) However, when it comes time for the actual attack, they await the instruction of some higher authority, whether overseas or already within the US. Either way, I believe that these "instructions" are interceptable and can be doctored as necessary. Maybe new information can be introduced to confuse the enemy. This is the essence of my ideas. DISINFORMATION. Distribute and pass along as much False or doctored information so that these terrorists will be unable to differentiate the true "intructions" from the false ones. If these hackers (including yourself) wish to propogate attacks in retailiation, maybe this would be a better way. Seek out relative sites, intercept relative emails or other forms of communications. Send out faxes, emails and web posts with false information to confuse the enemy. The hacker community should unite to promote this form of disinformation. The United States government I am certain also has a handle on this however from what I can tell the hacker community is extremely huge and as powerful. If they could unite to focus in on a common task such as this, maybe that could buy the US some time in locating and rooting out these Terrorists. This approach may be more productive than the simple hacking of foreign websites and servers. Let these terrorist guys expose themselves and defeat themselves. The US must exploit their existing vulnerabilities just as they have exploited ours. Through careful, well thought out planning and well executed plans. If you could pass this message on to any others involved in the hacking community, that would be great. Otherwise you can send me an email back to go Fuck myself because you believe what I just wrote is crap. Anyway thanks for reading. bye. - [sp43t4r@localhost]#
