Yes, the left mustn’t even allow ONE conservative point of view.

This is the biggest cultural clash in my lifetime, the left and it’s minions against freedom and survival.

It’s very depressing. The left is sneaking into every aspect of American life. They’re total intolerant fascists. They want to completely kill freedom and the country.

Maybe it's time for some people to "upgrade" these hackers' computers like Cash did to Skinner's soundsystem.

Last night I posted on a FR thread that hackers and other creeps on FR have already been turned in to the FBI

I wonder if some of the children on FR who are entranced by hacking are ready and willing to spend 5+ years in a federal prison with Bubba.....

Anyone who does not believe the FBI and Secret Service are already all over Michelle Malkin's blog and FR and elsewhere with a huge net are crazy!

There are a nimber of retired PIs and LEOs and one particular FBI profiler who will be thrilled to have some fun nailing those after Governor Sarah Palin and her family and also Fox News Channel and others

Those who hack, plant viruses, trojans, worms - intending to disrupt the internet - EMS - PDs - FDs - hospitals - etc - you must be aware the federal penalties now include life in a federal prison - no parole or "early outs" there

People die because some little nutcase scumbag thinks he/she/it is a web wizard

You are just idiots - If you value your freedom and life so little - You will get what you deserve

In a heartbeat I'll turn you in - Several FReepers know I have daily contact with an active sharp investigator

People have suggested that this hacking incident was all staged by Republicans, so that they can further portray Palin as a huge victim, and further bash Democrats. That seems like a ridiculous suggestion to me, but...

Just like the Arab countries that said 911 was staged by the Israelis. Do we see a pattern here?

I’ll plan on pretending to be an MSNBC “reporter”, to get in to visit them when they are in prison, “to tell their side of the story”, and then laugh in their zoo animal faces. >Bo)

Did anyone have any problems getting on FR this week? I had trouble three different nights at the same time frame (around 8p-8:45p CST hour)each night. No lie - it never would pull up. Later these same nights I could get on....finally. Could FR be targeted or could it just be me, the user? :)I have experienced high traffic and slow sign ons but this has been different. I had my husband try on his computer and he couldn’t either......

Not only that, but there are methods known as ‘smurf attacks’ that can be instigated by one person in one place, and use spoofed IP’s to generate DDoS attacks from servers all over the place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurf_attack

So, it could technically be one, or a few hackers doing this if they’ve found some ISP’s who still haven’t closed these holes.

There are ways to close those holes and most ISP’s in the US have. But that doesn’t stop an attacker from using servers in China, Korea, etc, where these holes are usually still wide open.

‘Smurfing’ is a pretty old method, I’ve been privy to them for about 10 years since I worked at a Mom & Pop ISP back in the boom days. All it would take was for one of our customers (usually a kid) to P/O somebody else (usually another kid) on IRC or another chat room somewhere, and the next thing you know, we’re getting ‘smurf’ed’. It would take us hours to recover and it became a big problem until we got our upstream provider to start putting measures in place to mitigate the attacks.

Appreciate the information.

It is too bad one cannot have certain web pages on one server using a separate software as well as a separate system network interface that also allows users to cross over to the other site once passing a set of certain tasks. That would help a lot at in essence keeping these DDoS or Dos attack away from the bulk of the site and won't tax the rest of the system that serves up pages etc. It would be sort of like a 'front porch' for the site. If they can't get through the door they can only destroy the front porch, but nothing inside.

I assume going forward we will be seeing a lot more of these sort of attacks. I am surprised there is not more offered to accommodate this new reality. I guess they figure if a page can tie into the larger site then so can a hacker so why work so hard and spend so much money on maintaining basically two systems, but at least it will make the attackers work harder to pull off an effective attack.

Yup

Geraldo on with O’ now

It’s not the FBI and SS these creeps need to fear

It’s Bill Gates and others who are working together to prosecute them and sue them too

Don’t go against BIG MONEY and expect to survive

I hope they are prosecuted but with all the liberal judges we have you never know how severe it will be. Good to know Gates is going after them.

Like drug dealers use young kids as runners

It may be that Daddy used his “emotionally unstable” 20 year old son to do the deed

Kinda like Al Qaeda using women and kids as bombers

I imagine we have all thought of that and what kind of father would expose his son to the consequences of hacking..whoops, probably an irate liberal democrat. They get away with most things they do.

Dems get away with it

Illegally intercepting and recording cellphones of Republicans

But for the NSA to monitor an Islamic terrorist calling in from a cave........

No privacy!

That's done all the time. Think bank, insurance company, or many places where you buy stuff online.

You authenticate yourself in some manner- user id/password and a secure connection is made to a different webserver.

This also helps to shield the confidential information from that which is publicly available.

But if they hammer the "front door" then nobody can get in.

That would help a lot at in essence keeping these DDoS or Dos attack away from the bulk of the site and won't tax the rest of the system that serves up pages etc. It would be sort of like a 'front porch' for the site.
