The government of USA is out there with all its resources to shut down all of wikileaks websites.On the other hand Julian Assange is equally determined to keep his websites up and running.Well that's thefirst information war of mankind!
Wikileaks has published cables that were reported to US government by its embassies and agents around the world.That has disclosed true perception of US and other governments.This has put US in quite embarrassing state.So it wants all wikileaks website shutdown.American cyber forces have already taken down wikileaks.org and JA has replied with wikileaks.ch and other mirrors.
Wikileaks.org was taken down with age-old technique.Thousands of requests were sent to wikileaks.org server by running programs which do nothing else but simply generate thousands of request to a web page.The server falls short of resources to respond to these requests and anyone who requests this page cant be served.So no one can access this website.This is called denial of service attack.Wikileaks moved to Amazon which later terminated service saying wikileaks violated the 'terms and conditions' of Amazon.Now wikileaks is running in Sweden domain.
JA is in Britain right now according to his lawyer.Governments across the world want him behind the bars.
