超越防火墙——互联网军事化


政治性质的网络攻击正使得互联网变得军事化。一位安全研究人员说在互联网战场上,政府和反对组织将DDOS攻击作为政治目的使用。

政府寻求压制批评和镇压反对者,它们在现有的审查方法中加入了分布式拒绝服务攻击(DDOS),安全研究人员Jose Nazario在Source Boston Security Showcase会议上说。在DDOS攻击中,一组被用于恶意目的被控计算机组成的僵尸网络,试图在同时连接到受害者的网站上。网站服务器无法响应洪水般的网络访问请求,不得不关闭或无法访问。Nazario注意到了2007年俄罗斯对爱沙尼亚发动的DDOS攻击,2008年对格鲁吉亚的DDOS攻击,对格鲁吉亚政府网站的攻击是与俄罗斯的军事行动几乎同时进行的。政府对DDOS攻击感兴趣是因为这种方法很难追踪到发起人和资助者。当一位CNN记者对北京奥运会作出藐视性的评论之后,它的网站也受到了类似的DDOS攻击。Nazario称“这些攻击显示得到了政府的支持”。中国和俄罗斯都在讨论网络战计划。
