[Just Wondering] Why don't hackers ever take down any of the terrorist sites?

[xanthias]

You always see news reports about how "Islamic militant websites released video today of . . . "

(example here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190646,00.html)

and I've always wondered why some enterprising hackers aren't going after that shit constantly and taking it down or goatse-ing them just to tool with them.

 

[Whiplash]

maybe it's because if you hack their box they blow yours up?

 

[xanthias]

Come on, our nerds have to be better than their nerds.

 

[Wufei]

our nerds are better, they're just busy cracking games.

What data has verified the observation that hackers don't "ever take down any of the terrorist sites?"

 

[DiSk]

c'mon, we don't need no stinkin' arabic code. What about some good, old-fashioned redirects and DOS attacks?

tw is probably as shallow as the e-world can go.

 

[xanthias]

heart about what?

any repeated or organized hacking that shutdown the terrorist mouthpiece sites . . . .

You're not talking about hacking then, you're talking about script kiddies attacks.

Tru. But, I figure at least a few of the little nematodes who swim here would also have a friend of their brother's cousin's uncle who had MAD skillz and would post about it.

 

[xanthias]

You're not talking about hacking then, you're talking about script kiddies attacks.

Sure, I would be entertained by whatever.

 

[Rilke]

You're saying that hacking of so called "terrorist web sites" should be more popular?

 

[Vanster]

We did.

Sure, why not.

 

[Lestat]

Because hackers are like terrorists and if they did it, it would be like tking.
