How do terrorist organizations use the internet?

It is easy to set up a site that requires a password to enter.  Terrorists, Cults, Hate organizations, even Businesses and Churches can do this.  Such site can contain areas where information is stored in cryptic manners for users to download and decode.\nThey can also use email to sent messages, often in code or as attachments.\nSome American hackers delight in busting these sites and modifying them with false info or images that would make the Dutch newspaper cartoons look tame.

It helps to create a 'tunnel'or a secure way to transmit http or web data in a secure way over VPN or public networks.\nIt does so by encryptng data packets, which can be decrypted only by destination computer.\nHence, even if someone intercepts web traffic and tries to see your data, it is difficult for him, because data is in a tunnel and in encrypted form.

Here's a theory, maybe the government is using the media. Knowing they will report everything they hear, the government claims tactics they will use against terrorism which are actually false. The terrorist sects read this and change their tactics, maybe making it easier for us to catch them

in news stories of columbine type massacres they have pointed out how the people were said to have communicated over the Internet.  I hardly see how it would be possible but if the Bushies want to further restrict free speech like in the phone taps they'll figure out a way to do it.  \n\nI can see how you might monitor suspicious subjects but with the mass number of communications over the net don't see how you could ever obtain any useful info.  I can email my uncle that lives across town through a server in Asia, ya know what I mean.

First off, I'm going to let you know that the "Anti-Terrorism" laws now cover hacking as a form of terrorism, so be very careful on what you do.\n\nNow that the warnings are over, the best place I have found for this is http://www.astalavista.com simply because it covers enough to gain education. From there, you'll have to gain the respect from people that are "hackers" to learn more. There are a lot of "script kiddies" out there that call themselves hackers, but all they do is damage computers and files. A true "hacker" is only out for information, only takes information they need, and leaves no trace there were ever there....  anything else is just being a prick.

I think that just the fact that you were able to ask that question and get so many varied answers from people that you didn't know before from all around the world shows that the internet has the great potential to be the greatest tool in the evolution of society and communication.  \n\nIt is the people that use this power for the dark side, and that potential is there in all cases, not just in use of the internet.

Yes, they can.  All that they would need is a simple packet sniffing program like etherreal and it will automatically re-assemble the packets, so they could read whatever gets sent over their internet connection.  They could als use a program like cain and abel, which will sniff passwords and usernames.\n\nThey could see anything from the websites you visit (whatever they may be) to programs like outlook and outlook express when you send and receive e-mail.\n\nUnless you are viewing a secure page, indicated by a picture of a padlock in the corner of your browser, anything you do can (and potentially will) be seen by your IT department.\n\nthere are ways around this so that the IT guys wont see whats going on, but it gets a little complicated.\n\nIncluded as sources are 2 links to get email and inernet access without them being able to see you.\n\nFor more information, post another question asking about VPN and how to implement it, or email me at Madh2orat@yahoo.com

Exactly how is this related to the Internet?

Yes Ofcourse there are many\n\nread this article. i think this include much more you wanna to know.\nI add the whole article. as it is a very good one.\n\n \n\nKeep your friends close and your enemies even closer\n\nThe idea of a web of trust is a great tool for killing annoyances and problems such as spam. You know the idea. We all vouch for each other and as the web grows we accept e-mail from people we, or our friends know. People outside of that web must fill out those anti-spam forms in order to send us e-mail. But, consider the same idea, but only in reverse … such as a web of mistrust for networks and specific nodes that are known to be causing trouble? Imagine a rolling blacklist of attackers and attacker havens that could get applied in simple ACL format to firewalls, IDS tools and border routers.\n\nThe idea must be refined, of course. You need rules for getting on and off the list, how the list would be maintained, and so on. But, a public open-source-style rolling list of attackers could be very useful. It could lead to a much more proactive mechanism for regulating attack traffic and force the attacker community to expend an exponential amount of additional effort and resources to continue to attack sites.\n\nThe idea could even extend into the realm of online chat. A list of known attack accounts could be created, tracked and managed along with accounts that are suspected of chat spams and virus infection. Each account could be assigned a level of mistrust and chat client vendors could include threshold mechanisms into their clients to allow users to be more selective about their chat partners. This could help the safety and surety of organizational acceptance of Internet chat and provide for an additional level of safety that is not present today.\n\nHeck, we could even create webs of mistrust mechanisms for websites that use pop-ups, display pornography or capture inappropriate information through rogue controls and scripts. Databases could be built into search engines to help rank sites by their level of trust or mistrust and browsers could contain threshold mechanisms that enforce these decisions throughout the enterprise. Imagine being able to manage the browser threat by setting a minimum trust threshold for sites your users are allowed to visit. Plus, by pushing this technology to the browser level, we could do away with the need for expensive and computational bottlenecks like filtering proxy servers.\n\nIf you have some ideas about how webs of mistrust might be useful, drop me a line and let me know. I will put the responses together for a follow up article in a few weeks. Until then, keep your enemies close and let everyone know about the bad apples in the barrel.

use this link, then on this page you'll find links to various other links..one of these is most wanted terrorists.\n\n  http://www.fbi.gov/

I know I don't have a brain or any self control if that's what you're asking. Other than that the FBI, CIA, and other government/government agencies monitor the internet for suspicious activitiy but the internet is so huge they can't keep up with it all. The internet is like a vast library with books spread out all over the world. The information is so widespread no one can completely track or control the movement of the information that passes from all given points at once. Hope this helps.

none that I know of. They probably are blinded by the fact that it is suppossed to fight terrorism. the opperative word being 'suppossed'. It's like their privacy is not important. My mother-in-law would follow G.W. into a tornado if he said it would fight terrorism. Oh well, I say. We all die anyway.

cctv is still a fairly new concept. It is not used everywhere and many feel it invades their privacy, so they kept the pressure on. It is mostly used for traffic violations, banks, and governmental offices.  Terrorists and gangs do not really care that it is there, if fact, I believe some terrorists like the fact that they can get credit for their actions.

Do you have a link?  I haven't seen any.  If you don't know what they mean, I think it might be strtching things just a little to start thinking they are terrorist communications.\n\nA more rational explanation would merely be that it is someone asking a question using an arabic script.\n\nIf you provide a link, I can try to decipher it.  It might be fun.

The data travels in packets, Computer networks transfer data from each other by packets of data. A packet is a unit of data at any layer of the OSI protocol stack. One way hackers gain access to computer networks is by intercepting packets of data that contain information like usernames and passwords (programs that preform this are known as a packet sniffer).\nMore information on packets including how you can see the packets you send and receive from the Internet go to this site.\nhttp://www.ethereal.com/
