 Hi friends and subscribers, welcome back to my youtube channel, my name is Daniel Rosil. This channel focuses on life on the ground in Jerusalem and in Israel. According to various Israeli government spokespeople, Israel's war against Hamas is being fought on four fronts, air, land, sea, and also in the cyber domain. Typically the last of those four domains involves a strange and ongoing shadow war taking place between Israel, Hamas, and Iran. Israel takes out Iranian centrifuges using the now famous virus known as Stuxnet. Iran retaliates by attacking Israeli websites and critical infrastructure networks and so the shadow war kind of marches on in parallel to the physical conflict which we're seeing escalating at present. Because the internet doesn't really know any geographical limits, attacks on Israel's web infrastructure can be conducted from all over the world, but likewise Israel can attack online targets no matter where in the world they are located. Usually this effort is carried out by state funded entities such as Israel's Unit 8200 which is the biggest unit by manpower size in the Israeli defense forces. Unit 8200, called in Hebrew Shmonam Atayim, focuses on signals intelligence collection or SIGINT as well it's often speculated on offensive cyber operations. But non-governmental hacking collectives like Anonymous also routinely get involved in the cyber fight. Yesterday an organization sprung up called Fok Hamas with the web URL fok-hamas.com. According to informed sources the collective has links to the Israeli government although as expected in email correspondence the organization would not disclose any clues as to their identity. The website essentially crowdsources the effort of conducting a DDOS attack on Hamas web infrastructure. DDOS stands for Distributed Denial of Service and it's a cyber offensive methodology by which incoming connections try to flood a particular web server until the server becomes so overloaded with these requests that it can no longer serve content to people who actually want to see what's on it. In this manner the Fok Hamas project might be attempting to stop Hamas websites from propagating more disinformation and incitement to the Palestinian population at large. This could help prevent radicalization although it could also have some unintended consequences. On the website users are able to choose between three different attack intensities. The difference really comes down to how much bandwidths users wish to dedicate to the cause. There is a setting for slow, medium and high. All users have to do is push the button and there begin sending requests to the target website in the background. So for those who aren't tech savvy but who want to feel like they're doing something to help this is kind of an easy form of digital activism. The JSON file which can be inspected under the advanced users section shows you the list of which targets the DDoS attack is targeting. The list is constantly evolving as the team adds more websites. By looking at the JSON file we can see that the group is targeting some well-known media outlets like Al Quds which tends to act as a mouthpiece for Hamas and other radical Palestinian terrorist organizations. As well as Al Jazeera, a webmail client for the Palestinian government and the official Hamas website itself whose URL is Hamas.ps. Those who know of more URLs propagating terrorist ideology which they feel should be added to the list can get in touch with the team through the email listed on the homepage. According to the project's telegram channel, the website has received over 60,000 visits in its first few days of operation.
