North Korea's internet is down from what is probably a DDOS. In related and unsurprising news, apparently North Korea's entire internet can be shut down by a DDOS. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/23/world/asia/attack-is-suspected-as-north-korean-internet-collapses.html?_r=0 quote:Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, an Internet performance management company, said that North Korean Internet access first became unstable late Friday. The situation worsened over the weekend, and by Monday, North Korea’s Internet was completely offline.

How good could their anti virus be?

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in whatever secret squirrel underground computer lab they've squeaked together just to see a) what their plans are and what they think is going to happen and b) what actually happens as a result of whatever half-baked poo poo they throw at the wall. That'd be some real comedy, I think.

I read somewhere that North Korea's version of "Internet" is really just one big intranet spread across an entire country.Mister Sinewave posted:I wonder if the North Koreans were honestly disappointed that the Sony hack didn't reveal loads of smoking gun secret plan internal documents proving Sony is a front for the CIA or something. Clearly, those drat imperialist bastards use Sony Pictures as a front to taunt North Korea because of their jealousness toward the infinitely superior Juche system drawn up by the Dear Leader. This movie' ulterior motive was to taunt Dear Leader into a response to this act of aggression. I had a tenant who was a conspiracy theorist, so it's easy to spitball BS like that.

They do have an intranet that the proles can use to get access to more news about Glorious Leader. Also, I think they have some sort of social network site on there too. The actual internet is only available to high level government officials, and certain important university researchers.

English language RT is the greatest news network going, even the people at MSNBC and Fox can point at them and call them ridiculous. Like, that poo poo flies when you're in a country where the state can be influential, like in Russia, but as bad as the media is in the US, you still have choices and one of the networks is gonna be saying ludicrous poo poo that isn't popular with the government. RT just looks at that and says "gently caress it, just print anything Moscow wants even if it's incredibly obvious what the slant is and why it's slanted"

RT is particularly great because it's directed at foreign audiences so you get a mishmash of crazy. You'll see some fish-eyed Maoist propagandist, or a bipolar neo-Nazi promoted as a "human rights expert" who'd later get sentenced to three years in prison for an anti-Semitic hate crime. The point isn't to promote a particular ideological vision but to confuse and disorient people.

Some fun sleuthing to do is to watch RT and look at the various experts and analysts they regularly have on. It'll be some dude from a think-tank with a generic name like the Institute for Geopolitical and International Studies (just making that up). Then you Google it and it's based in Italy or France. Or it barely has a website at all. Or it's sponsored by another think-tank that is partnered with the Russian Foreign Ministry. It's not just RT but a whole ecosystem. This is a fun one: http://anton-shekhovtsov.blogspot.com/2014/12/center-for-eurasian-strategic.html The website went dark after this post. But it was another one of these think-tanks except that it was extremely anti-Putin. Except it was anti-Putin in a way that tried to convince people that Russia is powerful and scary, and that you shouldn't try to antagonize it. Their "experts" were also fake people with stock photos.

Omi-Polari posted:The way it works in Russia is you have a bunch of different state-owned (either directly or indirectly) networks that promote different ludicrous conspiracy theories. Lots of different pro-government messages works better than a single one. Fewer people have internet, too. Russia has a lower internet penetration rate than Morocco. RT is pretty much the Fox News / talk radio of the far left. I see them on facebook linked by pretty much the polar opposite of the Obummer meme people. Think everything is hosed up? Believe in conspiracies? Great, now just choose your flavor, and a convenient obviously biased media service will be there for you.

I will never stop lolling at how most Russians think Nazis were a gay Jewish joint. Whoever runs RT in English has been smart enough to not run articles about the homonazi menace. Yet. But I am looking forward to some great comedy in 2015. also wonder how long it is before dudes in portland with beards are sharing articles about how if you think about it, Alaska was like, stolen from the Russians, and also, isn't like, Putin super handsome? We're already halfway to the latter in the RT club.

Master Bateman posted:gently caress those commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpOb_qSggGE e: For actual content, this is a really good article. It's worth reading in full, because the entire article is full of goodness, but here's a few pull quotes: quote:Qiao and Wang's argument goes something like this: Americans love their luxuries. The ultimate luxury in warfare is zero casualties. Therefore, the Americans will spend prohibitive amounts of resources to achieve zero casualties. So, if you can keep one or two wars simmering at all times, then American's military will unsustainably consume its materiel and its people outside combat, bureaucratizing itself to death. It wouldn't be the first time that this strategy has worked, of course. I'm not quite sure how many Roman soldiers it took to get one outside the wire, but, like us, their inefficiency and overextension created a market for a Visigothic Blackwater. (As later Goths would instruct them, subcontracting out your security isn't the smartest idea.) quote:If I were playing the bad-guy side of this long war, I would set up a few franchises to keep one or two wars simmering at all times. Then I would sit back and watch our side spend itself to death, deploying people who don't need to be deployed, flying sorties that don't need to be flown, making our numbers look great so we can award ourselves combat medals for sending e-mails. quote:Like performing a safety investigation on a mishap, the historical flight recorders tell of Cicero shouting, "This is stupid!" at Marcus Crassus prior to the calamitous battle of Carrhae. Unfortunately for Crassus, and for those under his command, ancient Rome didn't have a two challenge rule. The tape ends with the sound of Parthian mounted archers slaughtering the entire Roman force. quote:This isn't rocket science--you don't need better graphs and multiple regressions and analysts to figure these things out. You just need the humility to listen to your people and the maturity to admit when they're right. quote:When an operator says, "This just doesn't make sense," he or she should be taken seriously. The distance between the acquisitions community and the operators must be reduced, and priority must be given to the needs of those on the tip of the spear, not to the desires of the contractors or the whims of the program office. quote:"Who is on the pointy end of the spear?" is not the most useful question because this war and its successors have many fronts, and all of us will at one time or another find ourselves at the pointy end of one of those fights. The better question is, "What is my war, and how can I fight it better?" iyaayas01 fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Dec 23, 2014 |
