<nettime> [IRAQ] Digitally correct Hackitivism: Al Jazeera andDowning (fwd)



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

hier (siehe Mail unten) heisst es, dass angeblich diverse Hacker in den
US of A von vielen Leuten mit Absender Hotmail-Adressen gebeten wurden,
Al Jazeera zu hacken.

Und angeblich ließen sich die Hotmail-Adressen auf .mil-Domains
zurückverfolgen (Hat da einer ohne externen Proxy die Mails geschrieben?)


Inwieweit das ernst zu nehmen ist: Keine Ahnung.

Ricardo Dominguez würde ich aber eher glauben als Hans Wurst o.ä.


Ciao

Subject: aljazeera in english hacked + some comments about "digitally
correct" Hacktivismo 


> From [undercurrents on http://bbs.thing.net] aljazeera in english

I actually heard an interesting news report tonight on Pacifica by the
host of the hacker hour called OFF THE HOOK. he said that as soon as the
al-jazeera site in English went up, known hackers started receiving emails
from people begging them to hack into it and take it down. most of the
emails came from hotmail addresses, but the hackers were able to trace
many of them .mil addresses, which means US military is urging hackers to
engage in the same "cyberterrorism" they want to make illegal.

[some comments about "digitally correct" Hacktivismo - r]


Hacktivismo (digtially correct hackitivism) double helix of deep core code
and free speech/anti - censorship ideology seems to plug-in (all too
easily) into the current move by Home Land Security move to secure
National Infrastructure. In a recent rough draft about the issue (which is
not for distribution per request of the writer) entitled "Hacktivism:
Securing National Infrastructure." The author proposes that "digitally
correct" hacktivism /(Hacktivismo) should start receiving support from the
government and military organizations in order to "facilitate" an alliance
between them.

"Hacktivist can aid in the defense of the National Infrastructure." cDc is
specifically mentioned as a hacktivist group that fit this new post 9/11
ideology. Like white hat hackers in the past ethical hacktivist, like cDc,
should be met half-way with new laws that would "facilitate cooperation
between hacktivists and law enforcement, and develop innovative programs
that encourage responsible hacktivism and fuel hacktivists' innate love of
a good challenge."

As we move deeper into the RAND's vision of moving from a "gated
network/society" and into a lock-down network/society - would the other
digitally incorrect hackitivism (EDT or digital Zapatismo) that does not
participate with this new ideology be automatically placed on the same
tier as cyberterrorism/cybercrime. Which has been occurring for some time
(read attached URL).

Some have suggested that It will be important to have the digtially
incorrect "hacktivist" communities in toto decide if the actions are
within ethical protocols - but, to what degree the circuit between
Hacktivimo and the law enforcement preclude any activist non-violent
direct action (Electronic Civil Disobedience)  out side that circuit form
being pushed into cyberterroism/cybercrime paradigm - because it does not
support the U.S. war on Iraq or NAFTA.with its actions etc.

Well you get the general idea. Perhaps it will be the case that groups
like EDT would have a general social power of definition, about what is VR
sit-in or Virtual March and what is not. But, they will not get the
support from the Homeland Securtity that the "digitally correct"
hackitivist are getting or will get.

ps side note on question between digitally correct Hackivismo and
digitally incorrect VR Sit-In:

*Ruffin is the foreign minister of the waggishly named hacker group, the
Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc). Unlike the EDT, which is a social-justice
group using the Internet to spread its message, the cDc is a hacker cabal
hell-bent on using technology for the betterment of humanity. One of the
cDc's major accomplishments is the development of a tool called
Peekabooty, which allows residents of countries with strict Internet
censorship to bypass that censorship and view restricted webpages.

Ruffin is especially critical of the EDT's denial-of-service (DoS)
attacks. "Denial-of-service attacks, however they are positioned by the
EDT, qualify as a destructive - and in my opinion unconstitutional - use
of technology," he said. "[They] are a violation of the First Amendment,
and of the freedoms of expression and assembly. No rationale, even in the
service of the highest ideals, makes them anything other than what they
are - illegal, unethical, and uncivil. One does not make a better point in
a public forum by shouting down one's opponent."

Dominguez shrugs off Ruffin's criticisms, defending the EDT's mass actions
as populist, versus the SWAT-like actions of hacker groups like the cDc,
which look like elite paramilitary operations by comparison.

"We promote mass social performances that create a disturbance based on
[the] amount of folks who participate," said Dominguez. "Our VR Sit-In
tool does not and cannot destroy, disrupt or crash servers," he said,
differentiating between crashing a website by hacking and temporarily
blocking access to a website by conducting a virtual sit-in. "But it does
create a social disturbance." To Dominguez, the significance of EDT's
actions is strongly dependent on their symbolism. "The point of the
Virtual Sit-Ins is to get across how widespread the protest is," he said.
The EDT's activism "represents the unbearable weight of beings saying, 'Ya
Basta!' Enough is enough!" As Dominguez emphasizes, hacktivism precedes
real-world action. As he puts it, "Code alone will not save us from some
very difficult and human problems."*

Subject: Downing Street web site went down at height of protests last
Saturday!

####   Update on the electrohippie Iraq War online protest   ####

            ****     please forward freely !!     ****


Website:
http://www.fraw.org.uk/ehippies/


Headline:
Downing Street web site went down at height of protests last Saturday!


THE ACTION CONTINUES, AND WE ASK THAT PEOPLE STILL TAKE PART REGULARLY,
AND THAT THEY ENCOURAGE AS MANY OF THEIR FRIENDS TO DO SO AS POSSIBLE.


##   What's happened over the last 7 days:   ##

This is an update on the electrohippie collective's online protest action.

the electrohippies online sit-in will be so for the foreseeable future.
We've no firm idea yet, but it will certainly continue until fighting
stops.

We've had one report that the 10 Downing Street web site was down on
Saturday 22nd March, in the evening (UK time). This co-incides with a high
level fo use (usage for each day sown below). There's more about this on
Indymedia at:
http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59053&group=webcast

There have been no reports relating to the Whitehouse site -- this is not
unexpected given the capacity of that site.

The daily hits for the entire Free Range Activism web site (the only usage
data we currently have) on 26th March were over 10,000. Currently they
have dropped back to 7,000 to 8,000. we hope that people are able to spare
time over the coming week or so to try and beat last Saturday's figure.

Total hits for the FRAW site on each day over the last week were
(date/hits): 19th - 3,858; 20th - 5,359; 21st - 5,284; 22nd - 7,191; 23rd
- - 10,440; 24th - 8,775; 25th - 7,819.

Also, there have so far there have been over 1,100 requests for the 'Iraq
distribution' page -- a page of contact details for people to complain
about the conduct of the war. You can reach this page from the link near
the top of the index page on the electrohippie web site.

On Wednesday 26th March a modified version of the web tool was uploaded to
the action site. This 'time slices' people's sit-in efforts between the
Whitehouse and the Downing Street web sites. On the assumption that many
people keep their clock within about 1 minute of the correct time, the web
page now switches the load between the two web sites every two minutes
(you may notice the difference if you used the tool during the previous
week.



## Where next:  ##

To help increase the pressure on Bush and Blair's web site we ask that
people try and use the action tools at similar times (tricky, because of
time differences). If at all possible, try and use them between the
following three time intervals each day (all times are local times):

UK/Ireland/W. Africa - 07.30-10.30, 13.00-17.00 and 21.00-01.00
Central Europe - 08.30-11.30, 14.00-18.00 and 22.00-02.00
East. Europe/C. Africa - 10.00-13.00, 15.30-19.30 and 23.30-03.30
Middle East/E. Africa - 00.30-04.30, 11.00-15.00, and 16.30-20.30
Indian subcontinent -` 02.30-06.30, 13.00-17.00, and 18.30-22.30
Asia/Far East - 05.30-09.30, 16.00-20.00, and 21.30-01.30
Japan/Australia - 06.30-10.30, 17.00-21.00, and 22.30-02.30
West. US & Canada - 05.00-09.00, 13.00-17.00, and 23.30-03.30
Mid US &Canada - 01.00-05.00, 06.30-10.30, and 14.30-18.30
E. US & Can., S. Am. - 03.00-07.00, 08.30-12.30, and 16.30-20.30

If your use strays outside these times, don't worry. As long as you use
the tools for a large part of these time periods it will help make the
action more successful.
