attack on chevron

expressing yourself in this fascist environment is a godly thing...

good job. I wouldn't have attempted that. Wouldn't you think gas could come running out of the hose? Maybe screwing up the electronics would be safer.

Just a word of caution, admitting to a crime on Indybay has potential to put this organization in a sticky situation. If the action really did occur, and you aren't just blowing smoke then Indybay could be subpoenaed for your ISP address. While I'd hope that you were smart and used TOR on a sanitized machine from a public internet terminal, it still leaves Indybay in an awkward situation.

If you must take credit for red actions, please do so on a less vulnerable site and link to that post as something you found on the net. That way, Indybay is at least insulated somewhat from the potential liability.

Please feel free to take credit for any kind of action on indybay and issue communiques etc. on this site, it is partially what it should be used for. We have been doing this for a long time and have our backs covered to a good degree. We don't log IP addresses for many reasons, this being one of them and have lawyers etc. We regularly deal with subpoena requests. If you really want to support this operation you should donate, because we really need the funds.
once again, please feel free to take responsibility for any kind of action, irregardless of its legality, on indybay.

Here is an interesting cynical article about Tor and some other proxy server techniques for visiting websites. It might be too suspicious, but he shows a case of a guy setting up a Tor server and logging all the traffic, and pointing out that the NSA could easily set up a bunch of computers that do this too. He was catching a lot of traffic from embassies and other government workers who didn't want their email traced, and he got in a lot of trouble.

Anyway, turn your Tor on now and < a href="http://www.lbl.gov/Disclaimers.html">click here. This is the website for the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, and they have a statement that IP addresses are being logged for security purposes. This implies that most other institutions like this also were told to do the same thing.

Indybay doesn't record ips bit that doesn't mean others are not snooping. The FBI can always require anonymous logging from ISPs without telling those running sites that it is going on. Not sure if the previous comment is really an editor and its true we could probably get free legal help if anything came up and don't want to discourage posting, but for your own safety it is good to always assume that at least at the federal level they can figure out who you are unless you really know what you are doing.

This sort of thing is really important to computer users in all the repressive countries, besides just the NSA monitoring in the US, such as people in Iran, China and Saudi Arabia.
