I bet they are being real successful at convincing hikers and their families to be sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. :rolleyes:
They must really hate the idea of TJ hosting journals about Israel National Trail. (http://www.israelnationaltrail.com/) :)
WOW, worked earlier today.

That looks like an awesome trail.

Hey Gray....Nope they cut our budget!
The Israeli National Trail is on my bucket list! I love the country and the people.
I don't know why terrorists would hack a hiking web site. It doesn't make sense. Maybe they were just teenagers posing as terrorists.

eminations security is the science of disallowing terorists to acsess electronic information. one tool they have is to watch a site after its ben hacked to find the intruder returning to the scean of the crime. in performing its task, the software developed aquires each hit on the hacked site and spins a profile concerned with narrowing the feild of suspects. so each of us who checks in and reads the hijackers note have a profile generated.the attacks come in waves and this same message may be moveing around to eventualy hit a secure system such as nationwide ice cream production or simularly , tv commercials.

Too bad. Everyone despises hackers and terrorists.
I took a peek at the code they posted on TJ's. Nothing malicious as far as your client browser is concerned.

What you think they got a big whiff of the hiking community when those American hikers strayed into Iran? Don't know.
When they hacked into trailjournals they may have changed the administrators password so the administrator cannot get in to fix the problem. Just guessing.

as a child i was facinated with the idea that machines could be manipulated against their will. i knew at a young age hacking was to be a passion of mine but respected boundrys and so never did any on any open computers linked to the web. i belived that machines would go crazy and that those of us who new back doors into their brains and limbs would be the hope of sucsess in future machine wars . so i froze computers and heated them and hit them and let their batteries drain in ways to cause them to hack up stuff. sometimes waterboarding them into submission . what i found is that a system powerful enough to resist its creators will to destroy it, is evil. and that baltimore jack tarlins old tattered whiskey stained pencils and papers have a power to hold life saveing information at a rate more constant, and with more accesibility without unwanted acessers, than even the most advansed wepons modeling computors.

It wasn't targeted towards hikers.
Simply a target of opportunity, not planned. TJ's was hackable, so they took advantage of it to spew their diatribe.

Fixed now. Just got in to normal TJ.
I just tried it and its been fixed.

if you Google "EL_MUHAMMED" you will see that he also hacked other sites as well. This seems like it was part of a larger attack. Not just Trailjournals.com. I'm guessing that these sites did not use the latest security patches.

:-? Just visited it and it is back online, at least for now.
That looks like an awesome trail.
Being a history buff, this trail really appears to me. Plus, one of my closest friends is an Israeli and he said he'd make sure his family and friends put me up a night or two. Besides the trail, I'd love to see Masada.

It is cool. Didn't get to climb it though (took the lift), the trail was closed due to construction of a new lift up the mountain.
As for history....A couple of years before going to Israel I went to Washington DC and saw the constitution, declaration of independence I was wowed by seeing a document 200 years old. Then over there I got to see the dead sea scrolls -- 2000 years old. So besides the trail you will definitely want to see the old city (jerusalem). Which based on the map is not far from the trail and worth at mim 3 or 4 zeros.
The other really cool thing you must do is float in the dead sea (not on the trail) but not far from Masada.
Well, I already decided when (if?) I did the INT, it is going to have be an about six week trip. ~4 wks to hike, about 2 wks to play tourist. Too much to see! I already told my friend I'd make sure to NOT grow my beard as I normally do. ;) (Thick eyebrows, light olive complexion that gets very dark, very thick black beard....:-?)
re: Old documents
Had a similar experience when I went to Italy a few years back. Cool to be in the Roman forum ruins and think this was the seat of power for the Mediterranean and a good chunk of Europe for a looong time.
I went into the Apennines and visited the ancestral village. I am not as versed in historic building types, but it seemed many of the buildings dated 500+ yrs ago. Cool to walk the same streets as many generations of my family did in the past.

Just wear a large black felt hat with a wide brim and mutter to yourself and you will fit in with your beard.

My other close friends from Brooklyn call it the Jewish version of the Amish. :)
I do wear a large green boonie hat...not quite the same. ;)
(I've been to more Jewish holidays in the past few years than Catholic ones due to my friends. Lots of yummy food either way!!! :D)
