The Security Blog

And Counter-Counter-Intelligence:

The site Tweetspam.org has come out with warnings, refreshed continuously, against certain accounts believed to be spam and/or Iran government agents masquerading in Tweeter to spread disinformation

Signs of Compartmentalization:

Don’t blow their cover! If you discover a genuine source, please don’t publicise their name or location on a website. These bloggers are in REAL danger. Spread the word discretely through your own networks but don’t signpost them to the security forces. People are dying there, for real, please keep that in mind…

Iran Strikes Back:

Reports are rushing in that Iran is making a coordinated effort to shut down all unofficial computer access in the country! Examples:

23:59 AM GMT 06/16/09 several arrests today after tracking thru twiter proxys – #Iranelection

and another

any proxy addss shown on twitter is possible trap – freedom twitters in Iran DO NOT follow – YOUR LOCATION IS VISIBLE – #Iranelection

And even worse:

…they are literally going door to door and taking computers in iran

In response to questions: I am actively removing the name of Twitter users IN Iran from these quotes. For obvious reasons. More Sophisticated (advanced training, if you would) is coming up in video: How to circumvent an Internet proxy – a training video: http://bit.ly/ieJcZ
