Not really delicioius at all in fact. None the less here they are
DDoS Attacks
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/10/ddos-attack-str/
The “Secrete Service” investigated a denial of service attack on the noonprop8.com website that promotes gay marriage. The denial of service attacks shut the website down by flooding the servers with thousands of blank hits with a bot-not, effectively blocking actual users from viewing the site. Since the attacks come from many different addresses it is hard to attack.
I suppose this sort of, guerilla/brute-force esque attack could work but probably wont work in the way I would want it to. It would be to harsh and would make me seem like the aggressor instead of coming form underneath and working my way up like I intend.
Guerrilla tactics doing harm?
http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/culture/arts/guerilla-tactics
The article dealt with the hactivist group 0100101110101101.org, and how the doupe the public into believing false but “real” ads. The ads and stunts are real, performed by the group and usually with an altered idea behind it, but the group doupes the public into thinking the content or whatever it may be came from an actual company or a real organization. They fake the public into believing what they write because the public thinks its real.
This approach could prove to work well for my meme. I think having a professional or streamlined look to my documents/website could lend a valuable tool in gaining attention.
Don’t censor me
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2007/11/site-collects-h/
Don’t censor me is a website that collects posts that have been buried or deleted by moderators or dugg down on digg.com by the community. It proves that many of the comments and dialogue being buried is dialogue that goes against what the majority are saying.
I think leaving everything in the open will benefit my project. Negating comments by burying them means the community wont see everything, only those comments that the majority want them to read.
MapLight.org
http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/04/maplight
MapLight.org shows voting patterns based on the amount of money politicians receive from donations and companies. It exposes patterns and influences that would have otherwise gone un-noticed.
I’m hoping my project can do the same to some people and help show some transparency in the University.
Wikileaks
http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Wikileaks
Wikileaks allows people to anonymously leak government documents before they get to the public to help expose the workings of the government and provide people with information they would have otherwise never known. It keeps people informed about the fight for global justice by providing them with “inside” information.
Anonymously providing information is both good and bad. Its bad because it lacks credibility but good because it allows people to post information without the fear of repercussion.
