Maoists and their sympathisers are resorting to anonymous blogging using the latest software that disguises the Internet Protocol address. This is giving sleepless nights to the intelligence agencies in tracking the bloggersThe anonymous blogging lessons are also taught on pro-Maoist blogs like www.naxalrevolution.blogs pot.com and bloggers have cautioned the “revolutionary supporters” to use hushmailThe Maoist blogs are put into several mirror sitesThey can easily host a replacement if law enforcing agencies hack or block the original. The Intelligence Bureau and the AP state police earlier blocked the Peoples’ March website and naxalrevolution.blogsp ot.com. Sources in the state intelligence department said the naxals are looking for techies with hacking skillsA document available with this newspaper states, “We should make use of computer and Internet to further the military objective of the revolution. We should set up units to damage the military and other important networks of the enemy. This depends on development of urban mass movement and ability of urban party to draw in comrade with those required skills.” There are several maga zines of the pro-Maoists like the CPI(Maoist) Information Bulletin, Peoples’ Truth carrying the interviews of top naxal leaders and analysis of the movements in the country and the state available online on bannedthought.netSources said data is being tapped and intercepted by the reactionary governmentsAs part of Internet security, the posts on the site will guide on how to secure the means of communicationA cyberforensic expert of AP Forensic Science Laboratory said, “Hushmail keeps online communications private and secureEach message is uniquely encoded. Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Carnivore project or the state police sniffer software can’t detect the communicationWithout an order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia and Canada, www.hushmail.com will not give information to the agencies.
