Al-Jazeera was hijacked by what must have been a pro war protester, since it was directed to a page with a US flag. And only sites with poor network admins who dont change default passwords get cracked. I would hope BIS has someone more intelligent than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More that the act of defacing a website involves cracking rather than hacking. The word 'Hacker' has been totally mangled by popular media, where the term 'hack' rarely has a negative connotation in fact, just in media hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PFC Mongoose 0 Posted March 30, 2003 Any site can be hacked/cracked/whatthe@#$%ever. Just most people who have the means and the skill get sucked up by big 'net companies and Defence Contractors and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphwiggum 6 Posted March 30, 2003 ok, time for me to step in. *for simplicity hacker=crackers Skul's post is that there are hacking activities around, and wishes this place is not a target. now he said, it's anti-war hackers, which is as much as true as the existence of pro-war hackers. upon Skul's comment, FSPilot makes comment about hypocracy of PRO-PEACE hackers in relations to Skul's post. and Warin, basing his statement on recent hacking of Al-Zazeera website pointed out that the most prominent hacking case related to this war is so far was the AZ one. Â so no need to hiss at each other, let's just get beer. the solution of all problems. *now hacker != cracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted March 30, 2003 No, my comment had nothing to do with hackers, crackers, wackers, or whatever other stupid e-lingo someone has come up with. I was saying that pro-peace demonstrators are hypocrits when they use violent methods, ie. tossing acid in a police officers face, to achieve their goal. Warin, our peacekeeping mod, steps in and essentially calls me a crack pot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dropping bombs on people and hacking web sites can hardly be caled equal acts of violence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted March 30, 2003 I never talked about hackers in my post. I said: Peace protestors are hypocrits if they use violence to achieve their means. Even if they're only against the war in Iraq, and not war in general, did they try diplomatic debates with the police officer before they tossed acid in his face? Did they employ sanctions on the city of San Francisco when they blocked highways including an ambulance from getting to an emergency? No. They demand that we do so but never do it themselves.
