Anonymous Iran

If Only I Could Remember

I'm guessing this has already been discussed (privately), but if Gerdab is blocking Nedasites specifically, which seems like one possibility, would it be practical to configure it so that it becomes less "identifiable?" Perhaps you could have it so that it automatically and randomly rotates the type of DOS attack it carries out.

Based on the above statement, it may not even need saying, but I am not a programmer (so I've little to no idea of what I'm waffling about!)

Thanks for your suggestion.
Nedasites leaves minimum traceable information on the server.
There are two well known DDoS attacks which is quite effective (and we are working on a 3rd one for the latest version). The point is that Gerdab.ir is running on CentOS which is 100% compatible rebuild of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in full compliance with Red Hat's redistribution requirements. However it lacks the support from Redhat, therefore a complicated hacking attack may not be revealed easier. From my experience I can say something funny:
Regime doesn't own highly proficient experts to run and administer their networks. They usually have strict contract to 3rd party companies and highly professional freelancers. Therefore if the real experts who do the maintenance are not brainwashed fanatics, they morally don't help these kind of web sites specially in the current situation. Gerdab is yet another project of the government which its main reason of existence is to feed some people: they just "get the contract" from government and then get paid for doing nothing. Their spy activities are mostly based on social engineering rather than technical engineering. For example they have set up avizoon.com which is related to sexual stuff. Then they made connection to some fools who shared too much info with them, and arrested them. Fortunately the government of Iran is not able to employ highly professional experts for a long time and most of them either leave the country or work for great companies instead of getting involved in governmental dirt. Another reason that they are technically weak is that Iran is an isolated country. Many famous software companies like SUN, CISCO, Redhat, etc. don't have official activity in the country, therefore rarely you can find someone who's internationally competent. Even those few who are really knowledgeable, usually leave the country toward Canada, US and Australia.
However, not to be too optimist, we have put several security barriers in Nedasites so that they cannot detect anything special about an attacker. In the next version we focus on performance, ease of use and more effective attack (like automatic URL scanning). As I'm writing this, Gerdab is down!

I thought I saw they set up a porn type site when I sent their site through google translate and thought I saw they were after or did get people.

It was just another one of their double standards to me. Or it was entrapment

Vee

Did someone down leader.ir?

Stacy

Coming up for me right now.

It does have a send comment section........

The Office of the Supreme Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei

Stacy

And another one where a file can be attached........

The Office of the Supreme Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei

There used to be a virus writer group on usenet...

Still timing out for me.
Someone should compile and send them some rxbots

Check with web proxies, leader.ir blocks my many ip's very fast! They are still up and running. And fast too.

Who cares about leader.ir?
Even when he's in Friday's Prayers (namaz jom'ah) not many people attend there! Our main target is Gerdab.ir which obviously claims that they will arrest, torture and kill people for their activities on the Internet! This is the real crime on the Internet: to frighten people and monitor people's thoughts.
