They had seized the protesters Tunisian and Egyptian, but the near-total blockage of the Internet in Egypt has dampened expectations of activists claiming the network Anonymous. Informal network, Anonymous is not a group in the strict sense: it brings together Internet users, usually young and technical knowledge variables, which occasionally combine for a cause.
Using tools very accessible, it is already taken Anonymous sites Mastercard or PayPal, in support of Julian Assange, official websites and Tunisian or Egyptian. But the Internet outage throughout Egypt deprives the network of its traditional mode of action: the attack called "denial of service", notes lead to a large number of connections to a fake site saturate and thus block its access.
IRC channels used by part of Anonymous, is unbelief. Accustomed to use methods to bypass the filter, the activists have a hard time believing that the entire network is dropped. "Can anyone confirm that it is blocking DNS [Domain name servers]? It should not be a problem," and asks a visitor.
"Ha ha - it's not just the DNS servers they cut," replied another Anonymous. Forsaken, activists try by every means to block a parade ... That does not exist, as noted by some commentators: when servers are disconnected physically, workarounds are almost nonexistent. "I heard that Tor is inaccessible in Egypt - yes that's all that the Internet is broken - but they do not have modems to connect at low speeds?" Without an outlet, activists circling.
The same issues come back in cycles, everything is really secure? Is there really no solution? What happens to your place? The canal turns to the political discussion around the information reported by news websites. Some of Anonymous have yet found a way to express their discontent and their support for protesters in Egypt.
"Well, there is someone who goes to the demonstration in San Francisco?"
