"the command and control server that directed the attack, which was based in the United States had gone online several weeks before it began the assault..... a control computer that was based in the United States."
What I also find interesting is there is no mention of the attacks of Russian servers and news organizations that occurred at the same time.
"Cyberwar attacks aimed at country" by John Markoff, New York Times News Service | August 13, 2008
Weeks before physical bombs started falling on Georgia, a security researcher in suburban Massachusetts was watching an attack against the country in cyberspace.
Jose Nazario of
Other Internet specialists in the United States said the attacks against Georgia's Internet infrastructure began as early as July 20, with coordinated barrages of millions of requests - known as distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attacks - that overloaded certain Georgian servers.
The Georgian government blamed Russia for the attacks, but specialists say that was not clear.
"Could this somehow be indirect Russian action? Yes, but considering Russia is past playing nice and uses real bombs, they could have attacked more strategic targets or eliminated the infrastructure kinetically," said Gadi Evron, an Israeli network security analyst who assisted in pushing back a cyber attack on Estonia's Internet infrastructure in May. "The nature of what's going on isn't clear."
Of course he is ISRAELI since they control the security firms!!!
And the guy could PUSH FORWARD as well as BACK, right?
Hmmmmmm!
Researchers at Shadowserver, a volunteer group that tracks malicious network activity, reported that the website of the Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili, had been rendered inoperable for 24 hours by multiple DDOS attacks. The researchers said the command and control server that directed the attack, which was based in the United States, had gone online several weeks before it began the assault.
As it turns out, the July attack may have been a dress rehearsal for an all-out cyberwar once the shooting started between Georgia and Russia.
According to Internet technical specialists, it was the first time a cyberattack had coincided with a shooting war. But it will probably not be the last, said Bill Woodcock, the research director of the Packet Clearing House, a nonprofit that tracks Internet traffic.
Translation: Be prepared for the US web to be shut down during the next Zionist false-flag operation.
He said cyberattacks are so inexpensive and easy to mount, with few fingerprints, that they will almost certainly remain a feature of modern warfare.
"It costs about 4 cents per machine," Woodcock said. "You could fund an entire cyberwarfare campaign for the cost of replacing a tank tread, so you would be foolish not to."
Then WHAT is all the SPYING POWER FOR if it is USELESS?!
Of course, we KNOW what it is for, sig heil!
Shadowserver saw the attack against Georgia spread to computers throughout the government after Russian troops invaded the Georgian province of South Ossetia Sunday.
Nazario said the attacks appeared to be politically motivated. They continued Monday against Georgian news sites, according to Nazario. "I'm watching attacks against apsny.ge and news.ge right now," he said.
The attacks were controlled from a server based at a telecommunications firm in Moscow, he said. In contrast, the attacks last month came from a control computer that was based in the United States. That system was later disabled.
Denial of service attacks, aimed at making a website unreachable, began in 2001 and have been refined in terms of power and sophistication since. They are usually performed by hundreds or thousands of commandeered personal computers, making it difficult or impossible to determine who is behind a particular attack.
A researcher noted that Georgia was dependent on Russia and Turkey for Internet connections."Turkey is also an USraeli ally.
CUI BONO?
